High heels or no heels!
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 
The fashion trends for this summer are certainly enough to make everyone happy! It seems that all kind of styles are “in”. If we say ethnic, bohemic, grecian, fringes, butterflies, romantic styles,graphic patterns, the 80′s look- all you think yes, yes yes and yes…these are all very fashionable styles this summer. And what about colours? It might be easier to mention one colour that isn’t fashionable this summer…
Also for the shoe section you can find many different styles and colours.
But what about the heels? Have you noticed that this summer you either go high heels or no heels? Anyway here in Florence,Italy, you can see this contrast very clearly.
Large heels, cone shaped heels, stiletto heels, wedges they are all high. Fortunatly the platform is a big thing this summer so even if the heels are high at least they are more comfortable.
Ballerinas, gladiator sandals, toe thong sandals in different styles but all very flat. This summer you can find very elegant flats with accessories like fringes, jewelery, patent leather etc. that gives them more importance so one could also wear them for dressed-up occasions.
And what about you, do you go high or low?
Fornarina opening Florence!
Saturday, April 11th, 2009Thursday night the Fornarina opening celebration took place outside the new Fornarina shop in Piazza Duomo here in Florence. Finally Florence have a Fornarina store!…although we were a bit disapointed both on the shop and the opening celebration. Since we have worked with the brand for several years, and have our idea of the brand as young and glamorous, we excepted something more, for ex. the shop is pretty small so it’s hard to see the product and the party wasn’t so glam. It’s a shame because the Spring/Summer collection is very successful, a cool mix between the 80′s and “Alice in Wonderland”.
Were you there and what did you think?
