Fashion will definitely drive me crazy. We're right in the middle of July and I've already started buying clothes for next winter. I know. Next trends are exposed everywhere in the magazines, on fashion channel or on the Internet, and it's just so... exciting. I can't wait to go out with a big belted coat, a huge and warm cardigan with a large mesh, thick shorts and black leggings, laced open toe boots, nude shirt with lovely flounces, rolled up men trousers and my usual and huge, huge, huge green chloé scarf... Can't wait either to wear only black, brown, grey, nude and purple. You know, I just turned all of that in a game. It's quite funny to try to choose trends that I like from the runways and put them in my daily outfits, always in accordance with what I do in the day. I was checking out the new collection in a famous store the other day, and I found a pair of pants just like one of Chloé's collection. Same color, same shape, same belt, same everything. And then I just thought it was too easy. After all, it was just man trousers that you roll up and wear high on your waist, wasn't it? Well, I'm going to do mine by myself. You feel so much proud when you find a way to make an item "unique", well not exactly, but I mean something you did on your own, even if it follows trends or anything. Last winter, I made a "Givenchy like" necklace, with a lot of necklaces and chains; this summer, well it was very easy, but I didn't buy any Current Elliot or 7 For All Mankind jeans, I just took some of my father or vintage ones, rolled them up and cut them. A lot of girls did the same, and I think it's a good way to have fun with fashion by your creativity. I know that's nothing, really simple stuffs, but that's a beginning though, and I hope I'll have loads of other opportunities to do this. Anyway, I also wanted to say that fashion drive me crazy because I sometimes don't know if a like such or such item because I really like it or just because it's... trendy. Arhhgg I become everything I used to hate: I am a sheep! You know, it's like the camel belted coat, big trend of next season. Being in my "winter shopping period", I was searching for one the other day, and then I remembered that what I love more than everything in the cold season (about clothes, I mean) is the big black coat. And, so what? I just forget it, just because Vogue and Harper's Bazaar said that a camel coat (color that I used to hate, except for the shoes) was the next "must have"? Then I felt really stupid. But you know, sometimes you first don't like a thing, and then you see it so much, everywhere, that you get used to it, and sometimes you end to like it. For example, when I saw Chloé's new collection something like six months ago, I was totally disappointed and said that it was so old fashion. Now I adore it. See? It's like a subliminal message. Or propaganda. Haha. Anyway, the thing is that I start to like that damned Max Mara's camel belted coat. But there's still a few months before we have to take out coats, wooly hats (I already know which one I'm gonna wear aaaall the winter!), scarfs and gloves, so we'll see... I really hope that if I finally decide to buy a camel coat, it will be because I really love it, and not because I became a fashion victim. daùzoifhdaoeifhzroghrqemlfjqzràç'utçr anyway, it was my superficial entry of the week, it's so hard to be a girl, hahahaha! Whatever, I'm gonna watch Sex and the City.
