Once in a while you find THAT PAIR of jeans. That perfect pair that you feel like wearing non stop, day and night - the perfect fabric, cut, shape and style. The statement pair of jeans. Well, I've just found it and I've gotta tell you it's...inspirational. It makes try different tricks in terms of styling and it goes well with pieces I don't normally wear.
In a way, it reminds me of the late 90s, I used to have quite few pairs of similar jeans - wide legged, cuffed - I used to love them back then and I love them right now. They have something super summery about them, perhaps because in some way they remind me of sailor trousers, or maybe it's their colour together with those wide cuffs...I simply love them. They're pure cotton (except the stripe of course) and I find them superb for summer - to tell you a secret, I firmly believe these wide cuffs will be everywhere soon (spotted some at Gucci, men's section for now) so stay tuned and get ahead of the trend if it suits you. I never follow a trend unless it suits me + I really love it.
These beautiful jeans are from Metisu, and they can be yours for just £101. You'll never want to wear anything else, I promise you.
Don't be afraid to experiment and choose items where there's love at first sight, even though you've never worn something similar before. Use your freedom of expression to choose what suits you most and be bold!

I hate as many things as I love, even though hate might be an exaggerated term; I dislike and disagree with many people and things and that's just part of me. But today I'm gonna focus on few things that I'm really in love with now:
1. super oversized earrings - the bigger, the better
2. puffy shoulders for that 80's vibe that I adore
3. pure cotton denim in all shapes and sizes - I have a thing for oversized jackets
4. metallic shoes - from sandals to boots, just bring'em all on!
5. burgundy toe nails
6. exotic prints for the ultimate summer vibe
7. people having just as much confidence as they need - too much is too much
8. green eyeliner - it just matches my eyes
9. my friends who don't hesitate to surprise me - thank you!
10. Franco Manca - no, it's not a hot guy - it's my favourite pizza place.
Should I mention my husband? I am always in love with him - today, tomorrow, yesterday, forever. I know how superficial the stuff in the list above might sound buy hey, we're all superficial, we all fall in love with little material things and perhaps that's one of the reasons to bring joy and fun to our lives. Tschüss!

Hi everyone, today I'm going to show you how to make you own dream denim jacket, as seen in S/S16 trends.
You can start with an old denim jacket, maybe you already own one or you can raid the thrift shops in search for a nice, cheap, 100% cotton denim jacket. It looks much nice if you use a real jeans jacket, not some cheap denim-like fabric.
First, I will show you the final result, how the jacket looks after 2-3 hours of hand-sewing and deconstructing. |
| A raw hem is a must for this spring and summer. |
 |
| An "evil eye" iron-on patch will add a bit of glamour. |

DIY Raw Hem Deconstructed Denim Jacket in 5 STEPS:
 |
| 1. Deconstruct the pockets, carefully remove the stitching until you reach the pocket lining which, in this happy case is a darker denim. |
 |
| 2. You will need a needle and thread to sew the pocket lining on the front side of the jacket, as seen above. |
 |
| 3. Voilà ! You now have awesome denim patches instead of the old pockets. |
 |
| 4. Do the same for the other side. |
 |
| 5. Remove the stitches carefully until you reveal that gorgeous raw hem. All done! |
