Victoria Beckham Re-Works The Pantsuit

I just love Victoria Beckham.
Her fashion sense is always so completely on point.
I found this on Vogue.com and loved it.

Check out how Vicky B turns the pantsuit on it's ear and makes it super sexy and super slick:

The pantsuit, a favorite of women globally—and made most famous by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton—is having a renaissance this season.Victoria Beckham, whose flagship Dover Street store just opened in London, was spotted arriving stateside in New York yesterday. And instead of slipping into one of her fanciful frocks, the designer chose to rework the standard suit into something fresh. The cut is precise, and with the trousers hitting just at the ankle, the pants are leg-lengthening, especially when paired with sleek stilettos. The jacket thrown over her shoulders gives Beckham an air of sophisticated cool, while a crisp, button-down neatly ties the look together.

Sicilitudine

Sicilitudine

… and I am happy to think that I now carry in my soul a picture of Sicily, that unique and beautiful island, which is clear, authentic and complete…

Goethe

Giardini Naxos, Sicily

From the first step I took on this hauntingly beautiful island, from my very first breath, I was completely enamored of her. And there has not been one day in my life since then that she hasn’t crept into my thoughts. 

Taormina, Sicily

The screensaver on the inside of my eyelids runs a slideshow of spectacular Sicilian vistas when I go to sleep, and sometimes the all encompassing need to get back there defies reason and dominates all thought.

Castelmola, Sicily

This largest island in the Mediterranean is truly unique. It is like a giant mosaic made up of thousands of vibrant and exceptionally hued tiles, impossible to put together, yet alone each is magnificent, complex, and exceptional.

Taormina, Sicily

View from Forza D'Agro, Sicily

Visually astounding, her shores are lapped by the bluest of seas – the Mediterranean, the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian.

Sicily

 The architecture and the cuisine have been layered by a history of being conquered. The Greeks, the Carthaginians, Roman, Arabs, Norman and Spaniards all ruled Sicily over the millennia and left their mark, their flavor, their influence, weaving a rich and brilliant tapestry that is equally beautiful and brutal.

Ortygia. Sicily

Sicilians have a hard history. The rich were magnificently rich while the poor toiled in abject poverty. They were repeatedly heavily taxed to pay for someone else’s wars, throughout time their men drafted to fight the ruling country’s battles. Although since the unification they are Italian, they are first and foremost and to their collective core, Sicilian. As a people they have pride and resilience, are at times stoic, in some ways isolated from the mainland, theirs is a Sicilitudine

 Castelmola, Sicily

Yet invariably Sicilians smile the deepest of smiles.

At times more North Africa than Southern Italy, Sicily is maddeningly beautiful, a culinary dream, it is mysterious and moody, incredibly sexy, and feels vaguely dangerous with it’s rumbling volcano and it’s air of mystery.

Sicily is everything.

To take on this magical island all you need is a good map and a sense of adventure…

Street Cred Taormina

Sicily's beautiful Taormina is a great place for people watching!

I kept an eye out on what the locals were wearing...

Street Cred Capri

Capri is so endleasly elegant.

So long as you get away from the tourist areas.

When the cruise ships unload their voyagers the fashion meter drops to the appalling level.

This time round it was tourist hell, so the sharply dressed were harder to spot, and when you did find them the view would invariably be blocked by a bus tour or another influx of cruisers.

But here is some of what I did see

Flat gold sandals and a romper

She owned it with that lip

Bored at work

More gold sandals

Big hat, flat sandals, cell phone

Beach ready

Waitress chic

Check out the colors on this dude!

Street Cred Amalfi Coast

I love people watching in Italy, especially seeing what people wear as they go about their daily lives.

Here is some of what I saw on the Amalfi Coast. Italians make everything seem so chic and glamorous.
