The holiday red cups have become a tradition at Starbucks.  My name is Daniele and I work with the creative design team. 

This year, we were inspired by the idea of people sharing their own stories and experiences to create the holidays at Starbucks. We used deco-inspired illustrations to create scenes that are open to the interpretation of the viewer – playful interactions between a cast of characters. The idea is to let people fill in the blank and make it their own story. And through all of our shared stories, the holiday spirit is brought to life.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season. 

Daniele Monti, creative director

 

I almost never realize the fact that november’s almost over and that the holiday season is about to start. This year, I felt all exited after the most delicious Toffee Nut Latte from Starbucks, because of the pretty red cup they use in winter.

The first time I noticed the red cup was 2 years ago, in Madrid, and as soon as I noticed the change I went inside to order a drink, so I could also drink from the christmas-Y cups, like all those people wandering around.

Spain is a very special place for me, not only because of my history with Starbucks, which also started in Spain. Barcelona actually.

I knew I had the best drink of my life as soon as I tasted the magnificent frappucino.

That’s the thing I love most about summer: my ability to drink as many frappucinos as I can (I’m a fan of the frappucino diet – it’s so easy – one frappucino a day – venti, of course – and no food whatsoever).

This is the official declaration of my love for Starbucks – whenever, whereever – because it makes you feel like it’s your own brand, and you can design it anyway you want…

 

So how about a cup of coffee?

When I look at this magnificent Burberry watch, I know what it’s like to fall in love…

oh yes… that’s what it’s all about

Meet my friend Ada. The moment I saw her rockin’ this outfit I knew I had to share it with you guys, it’s sooo modern rock’n'roll!

Of course she didn’t agree at first, but then again, all the good ones are hard to get, right?
I’m so glad she finally said yes and I can post this amazing outfit she wore for the “Girs rock” party!

And yes her T-shirt says “Because I’m Chuck Bass”

  I never really understood “boyfriend” trends. Why wear large jeans that (purposely) don’t fit you when skinny’s are always sexy? Why dress up in a man’s shirt when woman’s shirts give you a gorgeous shape?

By the time I wore my first man-sweater I had a revelation: it’s not about beeing sexy, it’s about feeling comfy…

Since I’ve always said “If it hurts it probably looks fabulous”/”If it doesn’t hurt it’s definitely horrible” (yeah, I don’t apply it all the time either) I was astonished to be so comfortable!

And that’s not the only discovery I made that day: I also found out how you can mix two huge trends: the “boyfriend” and the vintage converge in your dad’s closet! Or at least in my dad’s

Between Polo by Ralph Lauren Tee’s and YSL shirts (he’s soooooooo lucky) I found this cute sweater that can also be worn as a dress (but a short one of those). I remember it to be Castelbajac, but since I’m too lazy to check, we’ll just stay with the doubt…

Also, I must state the fact that I wasn’t wearing any make-up (it happens to the best of us) so I’d like to send a huuuuge THANKS to my friend, Alexis, for turning this pictures from “dead” to “publishable”.

If I could have any kind of bad romance in this world, this would be the one I’d choose. Having your marriage blow up right in front of you is a terrible thing and you’d never think it to be the subject of a fashion editorial. Guess again!

This photo shoot is the reason I loved Vogue America’s July issue. Styled by Grace Coddington (isn’t she the best?), this pictures make you want to look as stylish as Natalia Vodianova and Ewan McGregor while your life is breaking to pieces.

Oh, yes! I’d like me some “stylish disaster” please, since the road to deception is paved with this season’s Prada stilettos and the forever fashionable Hermes Birkin.

Far be it for me to underestimate the power of clothes, but this is what I truly love about fashion: the emotions and the power to transform yourself into everything you want to be!

Beautiful, right? Who wouldn’t dream of spending most of ss11 with this gorgeous Louis Vuitton sandals?

I have a confession to make: altough The Sartorialist was the first blog I started following, no one impressed me

as much as Tommy Ton… his shots are “something else”, and it doesn’t hurt that you can often see Anna Dello Russo

sightings on Jak&Jil…

Tomorrow is Andreea’s birthday and I have no idea what to wear… Sould I go for casual chic or should I go all the way

to drop dead gorgeous?

If there was only a special section in the national economy called “Money to buy clothes for your friends birthday”..

So off we go… let’s see what we can whip up untill tomorrow..

Remember the post I did a while back, suggesting how awesome it was to fade your hair?

Silly me, I didn’t notice my own hair was faded in due time..

And I was pretty bummed about the fact that I wasn’t a gorgeous blonde with brown roots…

Anyway, you might ask how I got my so-cool-and-naturally-faded hair…

well… it’s a combination of:

• wanting a change (but not knowing what change)
• beeing to cheap to go to the stylist                             
• not having any patience whatsoever                         

So I asked my friend to dye my hair red (I wanted a change like RIGHT NOW)!

And you know how in the movies usually it turns out great and the new colour inspires the heronie

to turn her life around in a New York minute? Well, you know, what happens in the movies stays in the movies!

So, I looked awful for pretty much all of  fall/winter 09 , and decided to wash my hair as often as I could

so the red would wash off, and never, i mean NEVER, to dye my hair again! So what seemed to be

a bad bad bad decision turned out in a surprisingly good way! I sure hope it stays this way

forever and ever or at least untill the faded hair trend fades…

I think that’s destiny’s way of wanting me to be fashionable at all times
