Hello Darlings,

Seen on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Emilio Pucci S/S 2012, the straw bag has made a come back. Not in a beach-going kind of way, but rather with modern shape and luxe finishes.

Made popular in the seventies by Jane Birkin , this carryall picnic perfect darling is once again back on the radar! At first I found the trend a bit provincial, but the more I see it the more fascinated I become.

Hello Darlings,

With sunny days, all I want is to braid my hair, wear pink and sip mimosas! As every girl knows, staying frizz free and smudge proof in the sun is not an easy task. So why battle nature when it's just easier to embrace than to conquer. And learning and trying new things is part of life's fun, so to love your summer here are some suggestions to wear, to try, and to buy inspirations that are easy breezy!

Retro inspired outfits with feminine touches and delicate details. I am quite curious to try out the bralet and skirt combination.

Hello Darlings.

Continuing on our journey to discover the most popular summer 2012 trends from around the world, I asked one of Italy's most popular fashion bloggers Nicoletta Reggio of Scent of Obsession for her insights!

I chatted with Nicoletta to find out what are her favorite summer 2012 trends and pieces. Here is what she said:

Hello Darlings,

Is there an age limit to wear certain colors such as pink or baby blue? From what I’ve been told, the answer is yes if one wants to be taken seriously. So pink is only for not so serious people. While this may be the case for those who believe it, I strongly disagree.

Dressing age appropriate is important, but also saying that something cannot be worn after a certain age is silly. There is always a way to wear your favourite trend or colour that is age appropriate and looks great. So no more of that I am too old for it spiel.For me, that dilemma was my love over pink. I love pink no ifs or buts, I just love it! At first, I was weary of the called "childish" color but in the past year I have come to embrace it.
