PINNING MOODBOARD.

I sometimes like to have a look at my Pinterest's images from the pins board, just to see them all together not separated in categories: it's kinda fun to find out that from time to time they follow a similar style or color palette and they can be put together as a moodboard. So here are some of my latest pin, with a yellow/green tropical vibe!

GET GRAPHIC.

Spring's here! It's finally time to put away dark winter clothes, replacing them with something more colorful and fun.
So here's an idea: try graphic prints!
Some time ago i discovered Dusen Dusen (actually through this dress worn by Lena Dunham), a Brooklin based brand founded by textiles lover Ellen van Dusen. 
I definitely love the simple cut of every piece, perfectly working together with these colorful prints and huge black and white shapes: what's better than this for a sunny day of spring?
