Here is what I wore at the famous Pin-up Studio in Paris for the Dior Iconic photo shoot. Of course, I changed for the official photo into a fantastic Dior leather top and some fabulous Dior jewelry which you will see soon.
My own look: Leather and cotton-jersey sweater
, chain-trimmed leather mini skirt, striped glossed rayure-effect blazer and flat tote bag, all by Saint Laurent and boots by Chanel.
Me with the lovely Montasar Dumas.
I had so much fun, thank you for this amazing experience!

This was my look that I wore to my birthday lunch. I have to admit that I a completely crazy for the new Saint Laurent collection and went a little overboard on shopping my must-haves.
My look: Boxy sculpted dress with broad shoulder details 
and black leather tote (also available in white), both by Saint Laurent, grey suede ankle boots from a previous collection when it was still Yves Saint Laurent, 4810 hoop earrings by Montblanc and cotton velvet tights 
by Wolford.

One dress – two ways. I am so in love with my tiger print dress by Mulberry from the F/W 2012 collection, a versatile piece that works for chic as well as for casual occasions. Personally speaking, I think that Emma Hill, Creative Director of Mulberry, has brought the British label to an amazing level of style. I have become quite a fan of her designs. During LUISAVIAROMA
‘s third edition of Firenze4Ever in 2011, I had the chance to meet her personally. For the post, please click here.
My chic look to the left that I wore to the SIHH 2013:
Tiger print dress(the same print is on sale: animal print silk blouse),Lily leather shoulder bag with tiger embellishment, both by Mulberry, Tribute patent-leather Mary Jane pumps by Saint Laurent, 4810 Collection hoop earrings by Montblanc.
My casual look to the right:
Same dress, bag and earrings, plus mohair sweater and scarf with tiger, both by Mulberry, Culte sunglasses by Miu Miu and ruffled leather ankle boots by Valentino.

The combination of black and white is shaping up to be one of S/S 2013‘s hottest trends, namely in the form of stripes. Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino showed one of the most stunning two-tone takeovers. I am convinced that chances are high, that you already have a few black-and-white-striped pieces in your closet, but look for a style update to take it up a notch. To get in on one of summer’s boldest trends, step inside to shop my picks now.
Dresses from left to right:

Personally speaking, a striped blazer is my must for this season. An easy way to take your outfit to the next level.

The first Cruise 2013 pieces designed by Saint Laurent‘s new Creative Director, Hedi Slimane, have hit the shelves and are true to form with Hedi’s tough chic signature cut – don’t miss the lambskin one-shoulder leather dress and his très sexy striped sandals…
Here is your must-have shopping list of forward thinking classics and minimalist accessories:
1 Silk crepe de chine pussy-bow blouse in the house’s iconic fuchsia colour
2 Polka-dot silk-twill pussy-bow blouse
3 My personal favourite: Chain-trimmed leather mini skirt
4 Two bags in one: Reversible suede and leather shopper
5 Patent-leather pumps
By the way, the new name for the brand is Saint Laurent. The “Yves” is gone for the ready-to-wear line, but interesting to know is that the beauty line remains YSL.
