Multicolor pieces look good with golden elements

I've ever got many problms to match right way this skirt, which I owned since years ago. It's such a stunning (to me, of course) and striking skirt, so it's really easy to slip into "too much".
Friday evening, back from Rome, I finally was flashed by the right idea, the perfect fresh and youngish combination for a dinner with friends.
Light yellow tank top I've found at H&M is proving to be extremely versatile and useful for several outfits I will show you soon. And it was perfect also this time, miraculously taking the same shade of yellow of the skirt's stripes! In fact, when we got a multicolor garment like this skirt, the perfect choice is pairing it with something VERY basic which takes just ONE color, the UNLESS STRIKING one as possible (or the lesser extent one). This way we avoid the redundancy effect and we exalt the strongest piece without rendering it excessive.
I chose rose gold for accessories because I think metallized colors as silver and gold give something extra to multicolor outfits, much more that combining them with flat hues, and they take off the itch to find the right hue of yellow or red or blue to pair with we often don't have in our own closet.
I chose blue just for shoes. I was in doubt if wearing the golden ones, but these ones looked good for an informal occasion. In fact, when we dress up we often run the risk being too understated or too high profiled...
This way instead I felt perfectly at ease! What do you think about?

Ho sempre avuto non pochi problemi ad abbinare nel modo giusto questa gonna, che posseggo già da vari anni. E' talmente bella (a mio parere) e importante che è facile cadere nel "troppo".

Yellow on the beach

Oh, yes, it's still cold to go to sea... but saturday it was sunny and I felt good on the beach, enjoying the silence and my friends, relaxing in the breeze...
So I wore my new H&M bikini (composed by myself- I'm a fan of rematching bikinis) and I didin't forget to bring with me some piece to cover in case of wind.
Here it is! This was my freak outfit! Yellow is the colour this season that influences me the most, together with orange... And I find it perfect with denim and b&w stripes!
Don't you think?
I would like developing better the re-assembling bikinis topic, because I think it's a good way to change often the look on the beach too, without spending too much and purchasing new swimsuits...
Now I'm very busy and tomorrow I will be in Rome as well... So, will you have the patience waiting for a new post about that? :)

Sì lo so, è ancora freddo per andare al mare... ma sabato c'era un sole stupendo e io sono stata proprio bene in spiaggia, a godermi il silenzio e le mie amiche, a rilassarmi nella brezzolina...

Beige & blue

A Saturday afternoon very pleasant spent with a few friends walking in Prato...
After two hours my shoes started to hurt... ouch!
What do you think about my outfit?

Un sabato pomeriggio molto piacevole passato con pochi amici a passeggiare per Prato...

A few pics from my birthday

A very pleasant night spent with a few special friends in Florence... I missed my love Gab but he gifted 30 seconds of his voice via phone... :)
Despite of all unpleasant events, during last year I had possibility to re-build my happiness and meet such wonderful people like them. I feel so good now 'cause I'm surrounded by a lot of love! This is the most important thing to me.
Short note about my outfit: I chose sequins because of the joyfulness of the event, although it was very hot in the room and I immediately put away bolero. The clutch is a vintage piece very precious to me, 'cause it comes directly from my grandma's closet and I treasure it. About this, I have to show you another one, even more beautiful. I hope I will have the opportunity to show it off soon!
The rest of  apparel isn't very visible, but however I wore a simple pair of dark washed jeans and gold sandals, bought years ago at Zara, in keeping with the purse.
Sorry for short post and low quality pics, I promise you'll enjoy my usual posts soon!

Una serata molto piacevole passata a Firenze in compagnia di pochi amici speciali... Mi è mancato Gab ma perlomeno mi ha regalato 30 secondi della sua voce via telefono.. :)
Nonostante tutti gli eventi spiacevoli, nel corso dell'ultimo anno ho avuto la possibilità di mettere le fondamenta della mia felicità e incontrare persone tanto meravigliose come loro e ora sono circondata da tanto affetto! Questa è la cosa più importante per me.
Piccola nota sul mio outfit della serata: ho scelto le paillettes per la festosità dell'evento, anche se in realtà faceva molto caldo nel locale e il bolero l'ho messo da parte immediatamente. La clutch è un pezzo vintage molto prezioso per me, perchè viene direttamente dal'armadio di mia nonna e la custodisco gelosamente. A proposito di questo, ne ho anche un'altra da mostrarvi, ancora più bella. Spero di avere l'occasione di sfoggiarla molto presto!
Il resto dell'abbigliamento non è molto visibile, ma a onor di cronaca, indossavo un semplice paio di jeans dal lavaggio scuro e dei sandali oro, comprati anni fa da Zara, in tono con la borsetta.
Scusate il post breve e la bassa qualità delle foto, vi prometto che i post a cui siete abituati torneranno presto!

In the garden

The garden of Gab's parents is incredibly beautiful and rich of flowers and colours and I couldn't resist: I had to take my outfit pics there before he left!
Always with me, my new Tuscany Leather Mary bag and this time I combined that with a trench, a pair of optical flats and a detail I'm proud of: this shantung scarf I bought in Paris at a vintage shop ( cost: 2 euros!!!!!). I wore it as an headband, tiying a bow on a side.
The ideal look was with a red lipstick, but I used this outfit to go working and a nude lipstick was better.
I enjoyed my White Night in Florence with my friends and we went to bed at 5 o'clock! (Oh my God, I'm not enough young anymore for this kind of things..!!) :)
The apartment where we stayed and slept was stunning, very luxurious!!! I couldn't believe to my eyes (you can find the pics in the last post).
And so, my sweeties, how did you spent this weekend? Are you relaxed? Or are you tired because of your wonderful nights? ;)
I would like to tell you I'm taking part in a virtual casting for the next Jean Louis David campaign. If you want to vote for me, click "I like it" in THIS LINK. Thanks everyone who will vote for me! :)

Il giardino dei genitori di Gab è incredibilmente bello e ricco di fiori e colori e non ho potuto resistere: dovevo fare le foto dell'outfit del giorno lì!

First outfit with my new Tuscany Leather handbag

Here it is my outfit of my Easter days: confortable flats to walk trough Florence all the time with my family, my new Tuscany Leather bag and my favourite blazer (I've got a lust for blazer since last year...).
I spent my vacations with them and I'm very happy to have seen my parents after two months... I miss them so much!
This morning my love Gab is flying to Mexico again and I already miss him...
I need all your substain to switch quickly to the next two weeks!

Ed ecco il mio outfit dei miei giorni di Pasqua: ballerine comode per camminare tutto il tempo per Firenze con la mia famiglia, la mia nuova borsa Tuscany Leather e il mio blazer preferito (ho una passione per i blazer dall'anno scorso....).

Re-use in new ways what you already own

A few days ago a group of friends asked me how I can change my outfit so often and find every day something new to wear: they thought I had an unlimited wallet... Well, I haven't. Indeed, I assure you that by working like everyone else and paying a mortgage, several bills, and car payments it's not easy and I often give up the shopping!

Sometimes people stop me in the street and ask me where I did buy that or this, or congratulate with me for my way to dress up. My friends consult me before buying something...

These observations and people let the idea of starting a blog rise in me: if I have something catching people ( which every people can recreate by themselves because I haven't got  an unlimited bank account ), well why not to make it availaible to others?

This blog doesn't illustrate red-carpet outfits or fab expensive bags: I trust in style due to your style and personality, not to your bank account! I've seen bloggers wearing their Birkin Hermes in an horrible way... Oh my God!

I like to throw anything away, unless it's decomposing! :) I love recycling, renovating, reusing, rematching old garments with new ones... A huge wardrobe is build guessed-purchase by guessed-purchase.

In short: I give you ideas, suggestions, sometimes a few tips: and you... copy, let be inspired!!

About my outfit today, I was searching a new way to match this skirt I purchased 5 years ago and I've found that by matching this old top and completing the outfit with a few accessories that reflect the colours of the top: a flower among my curls, a coloured bracelet, shoes in tone...

Collar is due to the kind of top's neckline and to the richness of decorations: so it's linear and close to neck.

What do you think about? Do you like the result? My boyfriend (who has picky) liked it...

Qualche giorno fa un gruppo di amiche mi ha chiesto come faccio a cambiarmi così spesso di outfit e a trovare sempre qualcosa di nuovo da mettere: pensavano che avessi un portafogli infinito... Beh, purtroppo non ce l'ho! Anzi, vi assicuro che lavorando come fanno tutti e pagando un mutuo, delle bollette e le rate della macchina non è facile e le rinunce sono tante!

Autumnal outfit for a spring day...

I know, I couldn't go out yestarday, 'cause I'm still convalescent, but I did it. I had to do a few things I couldn't delay again.
So I covered myself as much as possible and I went out. This outfit seems taken from an autumnal post, but in fact, the weather these days doesn't allow me to do better.
Have a nice Sunday!

PS: please, don't take inspiration to match this orange nailpolish with similar lipsticks: it's horrible!!!! (I had to scoot)

Lo so, non potevo uscire ieri, perchè sono ancora convalescente, ma l'ho fatto. Dovevo sbrigare alcune commissioni che non potevo più rimandare.
Così mi sono coperta il più possibile e sono uscita. Questo outfit sembra tratto da un post autunnale, ma in effetti il tempo di questi giorni non mi permette di fare di meglio.

i want to break free

Forgive me for this absence... I've been spent a wonderful Sunday among grasses, trees, blue sky, kissed by light of sun and in peace with the spirit of the world! 
This place is in Tuscany, close to the Pieve of Romena, an amazing old church where you can find reconciliation and peacefulness with the Whole Soul of the world. If you're planning a vacancy in Tuscany, add this stage to your itinerary, believe me!
Here there are some of the lots of pics we took. My spirit today was free from conventions, so I matched freely leopard with red sneakers! What do you think about?
Have a peaceful and joyful week!


Perdonate la mia assenza... ma come vi dicevo ho passato una meravigliosa domenica in mezzo a prati, alberi, cielo azzurro, baciata dal sole e in pace con lo spirito del mondo!

Life in technicolor

Spring is really warm this year, I need some sea time...

Unfortunately as usual every year, the time of seasonal change has come... :(

I'm destroyed thinking about this because I won't change the place of my garments in the same closet (I haven't got a real closet indeed), but I will have to bring my stuff in the garret, which is an hard work... ohiohiohi.... what a bad Saturday I'm going to spent! 

Give me support with your toughts....

La primavera è veramente calda quest'anno, e io ho bisogno di un po' di mare...

Spring light

There's something romantic in this spring light.... I can't wait the warm and organize some dinner with friends on my terrace.
What do you think about my new vintage necklace?
Saturday I was walking in the center with my friend Claudia and there were many stands of antique items, so my eyes were catched by this locket and its pink stones among a hundred of those... It had a good price as well so I couldn't resist..... Isn't it so awesome?

C'è qualcosa di romantico in questa luce primaverile... Non vedo l'ora che arrivi il caldo per organizzare qualche cena con amici sul terrazzo di casa mia.
Che ne pensate della mia nuova collana vintage?

Eye-catching necklace

Bought this necklace in a handicraft shop in Gallipoli several years ago, but I have to say every time I wear it always makes its good look, it catches eyes and makes me receive lots of compliments... So again this morning in the center.

Today it's sunny! this light enhances the colour of these Zara pants I purchased a few days ago (do you remember?)

And so, guys and girls: what are your plans for the weekend?

Questa collana la comprai in un negozietto di artigianato a Gallipoli, nel Salento, diversi anni fa, ma devo dire che ogni volta che la indosso fa sempre la sua bella figura, attira molti sguardi e mi fa ricevere un sacco di complimenti... Così anche stamattina, in centro a Prato!
