The stars of Trisori

We are all very excited here at Trisori's headquarter and we thought to share this good news with all of you Trisorers!
On Wednesday night the gossip and press websites have been dominated by Alicia Keys Black ball. One of the guest was Pirates of the Caribbean and Frankenstein female lead actress( if you have not been to the national theatre to see this Amazing play... Shame on you!) Naomie Harris.
To our surprise and delight she was wearing Trisori's hard candy ring. She looks absolutely divine with it!



Love, Trisori

Some nights...

When I was 16 I started working in a local radio (called Radio Centro 99.7MHZ). I was running a lovely little radio program called "Love box". I know it sounds cheesy nowadays but back then and in the middle of nowhere in Sicily, the name was quite cool.
I miss that time of my life quite a lot as it was fun and I had the opportunity to enjoy people and music at the same time (it was a program in which you could request your favorite song and dedicate to someone too). Feel free to drop me an email and I will make sure to publish your chosen song in next blog!
All started on the notes of this song - The opening one!


I thought I share with you 2 songs which were very popular in Italy at the time.
Ligabue..

and
the 883!


I hope you Enjoy them as much as we all did back then. xx

Pleasantly surprised!!

I was given a Zoya nail polish recently and last week I decided I should give it a try. I must say I loovesss it!! It has stayed on so nicely for more than a week now!!! I don't even know how that is possible, because the last time I had a nail polish stay on for this long was when I had Shellac done; and that was just terrible as after it was taken off, my nails needed urgent HELP!!

My nails are very strong and barely ever do they break, but when Shellac was taken off I was left with something I had never had to do before - using a strengthening nail conditioner...

Anyways, lets get back to the good stuff!!

Not only did I get a million compliments about the shade of green, but the polish has stayed on perfectly for ever (in normal nail polish lifetime that is)! I am definitely going to get some more colours of Zoya nail polish, like my favourite red!

Marina,

Enjoy!xx

Prickly Cool

Sometimes the most simple things make a style. As Da Vinci said 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication' after all..

Today I spotted someone wearing a very pleasing combination of colours and to make it all come together I noticed a hair piece. Simple yet essential: a porcupine quill, black and white and very long sticking out on the side.

How chic. Honestly, this girl really pulled off the look with a red-orange combo; tanned shoes and this black and white hair thing.

I have not yet been gifted with the eye-to-camera power but I'm hoping the description can convey the effortless beauty of it all!

A picture of a porcupine quill to give you an idea - I was quite skeptical about sustainability but have found some plastic replicas in high street accessories shops.

Awaiting to spot you sporting stunning hair decorations in the next few months, my final word is: cool.

Yours Faithfully,

xoxo The Eye

How did you get into street art?I started painting and doing art since about 5 - it's always been somthing that I've loved.


What's your inspiration?When I was about 13 I started skate boarding and from hanging around on the strets it was just a natural progression from there.


What do you think of countries such as China where artists have been suppressed through communism?I think everyone should be able to express themselves through their art – even countries that have grown up with communism like China – art should be a freedom of expression.


What do you want to do in the future moving forwards?I want to continue to produce art – in particular over here in the UK – doing what I love. I think London has a lot to offer...


What if your favourite piece in this collection?Monopoly man on the British flag in the window of Graffik Gallery

Topshop's secret

They tried to keep it a secret but then they confessed they are very bad at keeping one.
The new Topshop's Secret Store is hidden away behind a Wild at Heart florist in the corner of the lower ground floor.
The new pop up shop is curated by London Fashion Week design duo Meadham Kirchhoff. The idea behind it is that customers will discover it by chance but we thought to share it with you as it's more fun to know things in advance (above all if they are fashion related!).

Inside this weird interiors filled with ribbons (coming from the ceiling) and flowers, there are some of the Topshop designs that never made it to production, Designer collaboration with top London and NY names, quirky headpieces and all the weird and wonderful gems of the fashion scenes. Prices start at £50 and go up to £350 for boutique dresses.

I would definitely go and have a look at what's on offer. You can snap a unique headpiece for less than £100, just in time for Ascott and the weddings season!

And if you really don't find anything to satisfy your fashion palate, The florist will sell customized flowers to you to make your home look pretty.

Who can say no to flowers and fashion?

Annie Hall has it all

Undoubtedly one of the best films ever, it recently aired on tv a few times and I felt compelled to watch it again. I could never tire of seeing it, the witty sarcasm always raises a smile and the acting is just outstanding. Woody Allen is a genius, at least in movie-making...ahem.

One aspect of the movie which has, however, just recently caught my eye *wink* is the styling of the goofy and sweet Annie Hall in person. Extremely contemporary, although it was filmed over 30 years ago!

Where to start...

1 - I particularly heart the floppy summer hat from the post-tennis scene. If we bring it into context now it works wonders with those flared jeans that are so ss 2011.

2 - Cross dressing perfection (see previous post) which she totally pulls off by looking feminine and edgy at the same time. The pants are baggy, the shirt is loose and she's even wearing a tie! 

3 - Natural and fresh makeup and hair, something of that effortless cool which I find very sexy. And bold!

We've seen a few celebs trying this look at home, with mixed results...one definite thumbs up goes to La Moss as usual for getting the look spot on: it's about relaxed and loose-fitting wear with a very flirty wink to the girl in you.

Think men's chinos or show some leg with a short baggy jean, team with a white shirt or slouchy white top and then the unmissable tie which could also be a simple knotted silk scarf.

To me the movie evokes careless freedom, the feeling that with a smile you can win the world over. It's a good feeling to have!

Yours Faithfully
