Ballet flats are in right now and here are some that you definitely should consider if you want to join the trend. Spotted on the Versace S/S 2024 sorbet-colored runway, this ballerina flat is one of the must-haves for the new season. Called the «Gianni Ribbon», this new line of ballerina flats is accented by an archival «nastro Gianni» satin ribbon bow. Which color to choose? Definitely silver! So chic!
PRADA presents a new range of options for the Made to Order Women’s Shoe collection, a project dedicated to giving customers the opportunity to create a unique, custom-made shoe. Eighteen models of pumps, slingbacks, ballet flats, boots and sandals with or without platforms and with eight different heel heights are available in a wide range of materials and shades.
The range of iconic Prada prints on a patent leather base has been expanded, with the Lipstick, Barocco and Roses as well as the new Dahlia flames and Mermaids flames patterns: Prada’s iconic prints from various seasons are mixed for a totally new and striking result.
The pumps and slingbacks can now be customized with a detachable poplin bow that comes in nine different prints.
After choosing the model, material and colour, customers can select the colour of the sole (black, phard or light blue) and add their initials, charms or numbers. As an alternative, it will be possible to add the same elements – but in leather – on the exclusive satin dust bag.
The customization continues beyond the product: the packaging for the shoes will match the style chosen so either the classic blue box embellished with an elastic band and metal plaque or one of the Prada prints. The shoes will be delivered eight weeks from order.
During the month of March PRADA is going to offer this service in Switzerland: Zurich March 1 – 10, 2019 Lugano March 14 – 20, 2019 Geneva March 22 – 28, 2019
Looking for something exclusive and new? Then I have something for you today. Mytheresa.com is partnering with Miu Miu to launch an exclusive capsule collection for S/S 2017 that is hitting the virtual shelves today.
The line, which is inspired by Miu Miu’s beautiful S/S 2017 runway collection and vibrant signatures, features ready-to-wear, as well as handbags and footwear.
To introduce the new collection, the Mytheresa has teamed with Danny Sangra, a Central Saint Martin’s graduate and renowned director, artist and illustrator, to produce a short film called “Shark” that I invite you to watch below. It is very fun. But be careful! You might be in a serious shopping mode after!
Since Miu Miu‘s S/S 2016 runway show, ballet slippers have been the style that no well-edited wardrobe is complete without. And great news is they are going to stay another season and even more beautiful than before.
When I bought mine, I was pretty surprised as they come with an extra pair of ribbons so that you can exchange the look and mix and match them. And of course you can even get your own ones and play around with them.

Welcome to Fort Worth in Texas, that is the sixteenth most populous city in the United States of America and a cultural gateway into the American West. The city was established in 1849 and today still embraces its Western heritage and traditional architecture and design. A must see are the Fort Worth Stockyards.
My look: Twill cargo shorts by Alexander McQueen, olive green top by Prada, cuff by Stella McCartney, Pandora bag by Givenchy and Monogram ballet flats by Louis Vuitton. The stetson is a souvenir from Mesquite.
Who would have thought that cheetah print and red lace could look so lovely together?!
Olivia Palermo knows her style well and combines her animal-print shorts by Tibi with a red lace top by Zara for a punchy contrast. She keeps the rest simple with a pair of ballet flatsby Repetto and a gold cuff.
If you are planning already your fall wardrobe, have a look at those pieces:
You could work the look from head to toe with the pants and the jacket together or just wear one at a time with this beautiful lace shirt for a fashion-forward combination.
After over one week in bed sick, I have been ready for some vibrant colours to embrace spring.
I really like the colour combination of orange and turquoise blue.
During the last days, I did a lot of sightseeing in this phenomenal city. Today was my favourite: Istanbul’s most famous monument, the former cathedral and later mosque of Haghia Sophia (meaning „Divine Wisdom“) that was originally built in 537 A.D., in the rule of Emperor Justinian, and later converted to a mosque after the conquest of the city by Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II in 1453.
The interior is truly awe-inspiring, particularly the main chamber, roofed by its fabulous dome, 30m (98ft) in diameter, just breathtaking.
While sightseeing, I like to be comfortable but don’t want to look too sloppy. Today I went for my T-shirt dress with colourful applications and ballet flats byLanvin and had an extra pair of leggings plus my ikat print scarf byLouis Vuitton with me to respect the local dress codes if necessary. Backpack (very practical) by Prada.
