There is a season when to be more sexy ? used to be summer , as was time to go to the beach , wear , short clothing ,and play around , now dressing is not more about season but more about style .
We dress in layers or is also called "Onion" dressing .
Transparency is not longer considered a scandal . Total Black again is "IN" as winter 12-3 trend , as if was ever out .
While at the begging of the summer the eye catching prints specially the cartoon by Prada was the coolest item to wear , towards the end of summer Black is the Look .
Once black was the colour for funeral , now the colour to be Sexy , better with key accessories which make sensual and mysterious.

For some reason when I think of summer I think of a wonderful holiday at the beach, where to go ? as much as initially we think is about be very tan , summer is also about having fun .
My ideal destination are Capri, Ibiza and St. Tropez !!!
So what to pack is also very important .

Summer is the season when we feel more sexy and flirty , we go to the beach we swim , if the sea looks good we can water ski ... and at night the best would be to go to dance .
Here in Roma I also did follow my friend Alessandra Buffa who was a supermodel of the 80 to the dancing classes of Venezuelan Anthony who reinvented a new way to do excersise with dancing , he hold some classes at Mondo Fitness ( a day Club Med style venue opened for summer time in Roma where there are classes of all the sports )
Dance Dance Dance..... but you need your look to be dancing with you !!!

This year I believe the Queen of the summer is the legendary Carmen Miranda so let's watch her in a scene of one of her famous movie the Girl in the Tutti Frutti Hat ( her hat so Iconic inspired also the Great Stephen Jones )
This year I decided to spend the summer in Italy rather then London (where this year there was not much summer ), here is seriously hot ,therefore thinking what to eat is not just to show up a nice figure at the beach , fruit and vegetables should be the base of our diet and the designers who love super slim models and would rather see their clothing worn by slim figure keep remind us always in their collection .
Domenico Dolce from Dolce &Gabbana which I know to be Obsessed with Diet and dedicated thier summer 12 collection to it .
Peperoncino ( Sicilian and very spice ) is great to speed the metabolism .
Maybe next season we will get outfit with instructions ???
One of my favorite place in the world is the island of Capri , while I generally consider myself as citizen of the world Rome and Capri together with Sofia Loren and all the Fashion Brands and luxury brands in general make me feel so special to be Italian .
Everything in Capri is so amazing the view of the Faraglioni , the sea so blue , the Grotta Azurra one of the " 7 Meraviglie del Mondo " , the best food , and the best shopping in the world . All the best brands have a Boutique there , either if the shop is small will carry always.the best selection you can think of . The jewellery shops look like candy shop .... with open doors but all is real . The Quisisana Hotel dominate from Via Camerelle with all its splendor , no matter if you stay guest there or not you always like to stop there It is so lovely that Chanel decided to open a Ephemeral shop there just a minute from Via Camerelle for the summer a shop out of the ordinary " Villa Chanel " , a place that make a CC item becoming either more special, for some reason shopping in Capri give either more Allure to the item purchased . I really hope to be able to go this summer to spend few days there !
I am sitting at my desk working on my story board for HIA a/w photo shoots , and keep the TV on as keep me company, and by a chance I ended on E and they playing the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphriers ( which I am not sure why she is famous for as she is not an actress , or a singer or .... ) .
The all wedding was coordinated black and white from decoration to dress code for the guests .
It maybe inspired to the famous scene @ Horse racing in "My fair lady" which I super love, ..... but for some reason is not the same taste ..... "La Classe non e acqua "
I am still in Rome, and with my friend Ian Paul we decided to go down for a drink to Trastevere, but we found the area totally changed from the Big Movida of the past years .
All was very clean and tidy , no people around to sell fakes of big brands , but only pot purri and mini Pinocchio dolls, but also and this was a very good surprise just open a new shop called di San Giacomo in Via di Santa Dorotea which make "Capri Sandals " .
Many of the restaurants have the check red and white table cloths and all looked more like " Trastevere inside Disney " , of course Police forces everywhere to be sure to keep all this way .
Tourists in forces specially American and British flock in the streets of Trastevere which still maintains its character thanks to its narrow cobbled streets lined by medieval houses .
The style code was to have a bag to wear cross !
