Again on white and summer
White is the ultimate summer neutral tone, and this season, it’s not only a great way to keep cool in the hot sunshine, but also the perfect way to come across as stylish and effortlessly classy. Whether we’re talking bags, shirts, jeans or shoes, this summer, ice-white is a subtle and strong fashion statement. It’s youthful, can be worn at any age, matches any complexion and can be worn with any color, marking it as a remarkably versatile and style-friendly tone.
The white shirt, for example, is not the classic version of it, but rather a new and improved versions, made interesting by it’s edgy cut. The back details and the floral silver imprints are very fine and delicate details and it is coming in a lot of color options. Pioneering the white shirt revival is Venezuelan born New York fashion designer Carolina Herrera who, in the words of a fashion critic, “has done for the white shirt what Burberry did for trench coats”, removing it form the list of casual clothing and giving it red carper glamor.
White also works well on shoes and bags this summer, and in terms of smaller accessories, anything from a pair of white-rimmed sunglasses, watches, brooches and ivory cuff bracelets goes very well. Just keep in mind that wherever you go, white will make you look chic, cool, classy – and clean.
The best work you can find around Beauty Avatar and fitting perfect what I just pointed out is the Nantes shirt, feturing a thin and transparent material. The almost white and jeans are the Nybro pants.

Sailor chic
Sailor Chic explores three main areas. The first focuses on the beginnings of nautical inspired fashions in Britain and explores the use of naval styles to evoke a sense of national pride and solidarity with the Royal Navy. The nautical trend first began in 1846 when Queen Victoria had a sailor suit made for her son, the four year old Albert Edward to wear aboard the Royal Yacht.
In the latest Sailor Chic fashions the trend’s marks a transition from catwalk to high street. It displays the work of contemporary designers alongside garments which found their way into high street stores, providing a more accessible, affordable nautical look.
But, the outfit featured today is not about pure nautical fashion but more like a combo between sailor chic look and a shell fisherman. The outfit comes from AC Store. Nobody could say this outfit looks plain. The uniformity of the texture is broken by nice prints, a tribal spiral around the left foot and an amazing barbwire heart on the right leg.
So put up some shoreline sound and prepare to dig for that shells.

Holiday surf
As AIR Winx said tomorrow is going to be a new product available at Argrace. It is the t-shirt which I modeled last week into IDA Japanese Designers show. As every Argrace product this is one is even amazing in its simplicity and summer style. It’s sporting 3 sculpties and the style is new at least for me. I am not usually featuring simple t-shirts but this one is an excellent one just because of the shirt under this t-shirt. The rolled up sleeves and the collar is what makes this t-shirt amazingly styled.
The cap, also a new product from Argrace is full scupltie one, scripted, with a big Argrace logo and we know that logos are pretty fashionable items.
The jeans are the simple Dark blue jeans also available in Argrace.
I added the FNKY Kicks II in black. No more talking about this so I am going to let the pictures talking.

HE is gone…
Yves Saint Laurent has gone away from us into eternity.
The one with the perfect touch on everything he made.
The one who understood that youth, sophistication and relevance has its own place in fashion.
The one who changed the fashion industry.
The one who made fashion a social statement.
He was the champion of beatnik black, pop-art prints, safari jackets and peasant skirts still fashionable decades later.
He said upon his retirement in 2002, “I have believed that fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves.”
But with his death comes the close of an era — a time when a runway show could send shockwaves across continents.

Military white shirt
Some says that military is always fashionable some says not. However nobody can deny the power of a uniform. What makes the military shirt different from the other, simple, just add pockets. And that simple means a lot more regarding to our case. A trimmer and higher waist, more structure at the shoulders, higher armholes, higher button stance. The idea is to lift the wearer, make the chest appear broader, accentuate the waist, add height. I like the white material texture but I wished Ocean Lane to be creative enough about the collar too. The jeans are perfect, with a high quality texture and guess what, they coming also with the boots.
