welcome back icon model

Finally a model who can be an icon too.
In these years of vacancy, after kate moss and fab4 10 years supremacy, Agyness Deyn has something to say about fashion and iconism.



Cutting her hair and making them so blond she has du style.
She's the perfect testimonial of these dazed & confused years, full of nothing in colour.

August in the City (Milan)


beach volley at Arena Civica

I have do admit it.
Summer in Milan is not so bad.
Finally you can taste the real mood of the city, with almost empy streets and small places full of life.
Some electrosuggestions if you are around.

1) GROM icecreams, surely the best gelati in town (via Via S. Margherita, 16)

2) Brera, my favourite place in town. With small shops, vintage boutiques, art galleries, design stores and small tavolini in the street. A fullpacked bar-area. Go to via San Marco and have dinner in the Carlsberg Pub Garden, cozy and cheap. Suggested resto: Utz and L'Amour(via solferino)
3) Beach Volley Addicted? The Arena Civica is the answer. Just one field but you can play from 10 am to 11 pm! If you prefer swimming, a little expensive but cool: QuantaVillage (Affori)
4) American Bookstore, a lovely place to find all your favourite authors! (cairoli)

Song Addiction of the Month: Fernando Pando, the Virgins


I simply can't stop listening to it and Private Affair.

I was pushed and shoved down the street in a bus fume haze
They're building for a new day
What will become of you and me
My love

I want to shout from the roof and all these things they just don't do
Will they wait for me and you
Gonna leave us both behind
Oh girl

She said, "Man I don't want to play around with words,
I just want to lay with you.
I can't solve the problems in this world
It's breaking my brain in two."

Hey baby don't you know
Our dreams they are the same
I'm waiting on you
I want you for your time
They promised you a lie
I swear it isn't true

Lately I can see your skirt
Cause we're growing up
Then if you changed your hair
You'd be good enough
Kids I used to know that died
Now they're not around
I wonder what they think of life
When they're looking down

Want to walk to your door
So I head from the store
And I ring on your bell
And I see that you're home
So I wait for a while
And I look to the sky
But nobody comes

Back on my feet
I went straight to the place
Where we were when you said
All the words that you meant
For me then
Do you still feel them now?
Well I can't see how you do
But I hope that it's so

She said, "Well I know you and I we're getting high,
But it don't have to be this way.
Baby I don't want to say goodbye,
But it's all that I have to say."

Hey baby don't you know
Our dreams they are the same
I'm waiting on you
I want you for your time
They promised you a lie
I swear it isn't true

Lately I can see your skirt
Cause you're growing up
Maybe if you changed your hair
You'd be good enough
The kids I used to know they died
Well they're not around
I wonder what they think of life
When they're looking down

Get Chucked! New Fall/Winter Converse Campaign


Still don't know if I like this new campaign from John Varvatos style & the photographer Ryan McGinley.
It has something that sounds wrong for me.
Too many elements maybe.. and a wrong male model.
Get Chucked!

the sunSet


à l'aide, originally uploaded by theo79.

enjoy my last set on flickr
dedicated to the end of the day and human relationships.

Lampedusa, just try & buy!


Just back from one stunning & refreshing week in Lampedusa, a small island below Sicily, actually situated 205 km from Sicily and 113 km from Tunisia (almost Africa!It's very hot but windy)
For Geography, History & co enjoy Wikipedia :)
Some pics to let you know that you HAVE to go there.


It's simply heaven, with beautiful sea, lots of fishes swimming all around you and the warmest local people you could find.

ElectroSuggestions:
Rent a motorbike or a scooter, you can't live without in the island.
Have dinner (once, cause it's a little money consuming) at Gemelli Restaurant, near the old harbour (and airport). Fine Fantasy cooking but surely worthy.
Enjoy the sunset@ Cala Croce happy hour (Tunéz), drinking superior white wine & tasting arancini



Fly with Alitalia (myair is frequently very late, the airport is smaller than my house!)
Have a boat trip (one day, from 10 am to 6.30pm). Surely the best way to explore the beautiful coast and small beaches. There' s also a disco-boat where you can dance during the trip!
Go to Isola di Conigli Beach, Cala Creta (my fav) & Cala Croce.

Both in Creta&Croce, there are small chiringuitos & resto near the beach for amazing lunches & breaks, in Conigli bring water & food with you cause there is nothing to buy in place (neither services of course, it's a natural reserve).

me and the sea during the boat sailing trip

We stayed at Le Villette di Baia Grecale, really cozy and perfectly located to enjoy the island.

Breakfast was included and served in a really nice restaurant near the beach
Other suggested places:

Ntoni Restaurant (Cala Madonna) cheap and cozy
13.5 Happy Hour in Via Roma (the main street in the small town centre). Great for gelati too(& pianobar hehe)
Polpo Escondido (near the old harbour)
Nautic Restaurant
teste pazze hairdresser (just in case!)
