Isn’t winter for you and are you secretly dreaming about spring warm days? No more with a floral kimono. Kimonos are traditional Japanese clothes both for man and women, available in different traditional styles, each one to cover one of the four seasons and different national celebrations (matsuri). The things I like the most about kimonos are elegance and modernity since they can be easily “translated” into a “Western” fashion language. Alone, as a dress, or as a coat, a kimono is an interesting piece worth adding into your closet. In my opinion, if it’s an independent creation, the better as these kimonos found over StyleWe!I’ve already shown StyleWe with a selection…

Elegant, colourful and artistic outfit at Palazzo Alario (Ascea Marina-Italy)
A chilly but sunny wintry day, an event and the perfect scenario for a mix-matching outfit and a photo shoot.

What has been thrown away or set apart and forgotten, gain interest and get an unique story, but for Shiran discarded objects and little memorabilia unleash a range of creative, chic and eco-friendly possibilities. It’s time for a virtual coffee at Valens’ with Shiran Tal, she has a lot to say about how she has become the “Urban Raven” and her new projects.

Do you “Adore” little French treasuries? Le flat lay photo de la parisienne…
It’s early morning: the first, shy sun rays visit you and you have to wake up. Nevertheless, I’m sure the hardest part for a girl is choosing what to wear that day… I look at my bed sheet with violet French flowers and I dream of immense lavender fields and then a jump to Paris. The adventurer left for a romantic and chic parisienne! “La mode domine les provinciales, mais les Parisiennes dominent la mode.” Julie ou la Nouvelle Héloïse, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1761) Elegant and delicate, when I feel in this way I use tiny bijoux and a matching Avon rouge à lèvres, absolutely a red lipstick!
