Here are my latest finds and news from style, fashion, film, design and beautiful living.
Don’t they look like magical scarves? 813. Ottotredici (Eight thirteen). Even the name seems to have a magical connotation. It’s in fact composed of the birth dates of the brand’s owners, Paolo Panerai and Annalisa Giuntini, 8 and 13 February respectively. They founded 813 in 2009, with the intention of creating a unique garment that could transmit emotions. Seeing their beautiful accessories, I realize that their task wasn’t impossible. Using noble fabrics, cashmere and silk, and innovative workmanship, a new technology of digital print, they created a poetic collection of multi-use scarves, every one of them being rigorously made in Italy, a condition for guaranteeing excellent quality. I don’t know about you, but all I can think of is how I would wrap myself in one of these fabulous scarves, and the upcoming summer is the best time to play with the styling, just like in this whimsical campaign.
• I’ve already posted about this on my Facebook page, but it’s too defining a conversation not to share it here too: Nicolas Ghesquière on why he left Balenciaga.
• All eyes on Cannes: the film festival kicks off today. Here are the films in competition this year. The president of the jury is Steven Spielberg.
• I love this style at any age concept COS came up with.
• Chic and comfortable: Madewell Transport Tote
• I can’t resist the combination of horseshoes and beautiful stationery: Olivier de Sercey, Paris. View their entire collection.
• I’ve promissed myself to make this almond milk recipe this weekend.

Funny that I am just eating some almonds while reading your finds for this week, Ada. I like that black transport tote a lot, I think it is time for a new black back in my wardrobe, I have only one from Musette and it is a bit fancy, so this one found by you is perfect. The idea of endless silk scarves is beautiful and the Italians know what they do, I am sure that the touch will surprise me as much as those images. However, these days I am looking for a man silk smart scarf and it seams the market is not helping me at all. Kisses
I cannot remember hearing about this brand before. What an incredibly interesting campaign – love it! Am I being too greedy when I say that I simply want all the scarves?!! Every.single.one.of.them.
I had seen the stationery on your Pinterest and fell flat for it, of course. That COS concept is fantastic; just one word: Respect.
Fabuloso. Funnily enough my friends and I were talking about scarves the other day and how they have to be mobile enough to lie flat against your neck and body (especially me as I have a short neck) These ones look so flattering, am loving all those blue and green ones. Up until now I’ve only dabbled Chan Luu ones but these are tempting
what creative and stunning photography for scarves. i want to be one of those girls and be draped in those beautiful scarves, scarves falling from the sky. the texture is so well translated as well and the little glimmers of each design makes me want to see them all in person. what a fabulous campaign.
i have to admit i am nervous to see the great gatsby. i love baz, but i am still uncertain. i am certain however that leo is perfect. xx
Christine, I also have mixed feeling about The Great Gatsby. I’m keeping my expectations low, but I admit I am curious.
Love all your links Ada! Those scarf images are beautiful! I’m supposed to be waiting to see The GG with a friend, but I may break down and have to see it before then. Also that Almond Milk sounds delicious!
Hope all is well,

I dind’t know the 813 brand and they are Italian! Not to mention the COS initiative: another reason more to love that label! Ada, thanks you for sharing this great style discoveries!
