Window Shopping:Shoes in FLORENCE,ITALY

Florence is a treat for fashion-food-art lovers! This city has the most beautiful houses ever with doors as high as 20 feet and windows the size of doors in India! The grandeur makes your jaw drop in awe. Besides architecture, the curious shopper will find his heaven too.The famous leather market of Florence is world-renowned and is definitely a competition to Dharavi , not because it has great prices but because it has the most vibrant shades of bags and shoes made from leather. If you ask me why I am not featuring that market here, its a simple reason- I almost rushed through it as i was running out of time and i was so engrossed I almost forgot my camera! In this post I will take you through high-street shops in Florence. Though you may find the regular shops like OVS, Accessorize, I am taking you through some special ones here. Lets get some shopping inspiration!

Fall/Winter 2012 inspiration

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” 
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

And then you would laugh - Its already nearing December!

True that, but how could you miss the charm of the autumn woods?
The crisp bed of orange leaves that extends a welcome carpet?

Whats more? These color palettes suit the Indian skin-tones really well !

Have a look at the Hermes Fall/Winter 2012/13 Campaign here:

This outfit ' Orange Blossom wood' is an inspiration from the lovely landscapes in Autumn.

LACE in winters !

Lace in darker hues in Winter adds a vintage chic to your look.
Afraid you will catch the cold?
Fret not, wear a skin colored warmer inside and let the faux skin show :)
Or you can choose a Lace fabric that is a wool blend just like the one I am wearing!

Tribal accessories

Generally , lace is associated with all things delicate from thread-like gold chains to

gleaming pearl ribbons.

Break the routine with chunky tribal jewellery in earthy hues like orange,tangerine,crimson red,maroon,chocolate brown and the like.

Leather for the weather

Just when winter is nearing ,it only makes sense to invest in stylish leather footwear.
They not only protect you from the cold but give a rustic feel to the look!

The bag featured here is a rare find in leather.And hence gifted to a special person.
Though i would like to buy the same for myself too!
Swap the boring browns /blacks with brilliant pops of Orange,turquoise or Red leather!
For people who prefer not to use leather- go for Faux leather footwear/bags.

Can't get enough of this orange beauty!

Side swept hair aren't that difficult to carry after all!

To warm up this fall/winter look, add a dash of your favorite lipcolor in Orangey-red.

Baby Lips in winters

Winters demand you take special care of your lips.
Do not forget to religiously slather your lips with balm before you kiss goodnight.

Before you apply your lipcolor swipe a layer of balm and let it settle for healthy looking lips.
After a few minutes ,apply your lipcolor .See the magic !
Make sure your lipbalm has natural ingredients especially beeswax.
