The sun before the storm

Latest sunbeams before a storm befell on Florence.

Latest flashes of color before winter clothes will befall on my wardrobe.

T-shirt is another creation of mine. The garment was concepted when I worked for Koralline and I designed the print on it too.

Ultimi raggi di sole prima che la tempesta si abbattesse su Firenze.

Ultimi lampi di colore prima che indumenti invernali si abbattano sul mio guardaroba.

La t-shirt è un'altra mia creazione. Il capo è stato progettato quando lavoravo per Koralline e ho ideato anche la stampa.

On the road

It's all about simply no-color garments and two touchs of color.

While you're reading I'm on the coast making photoshoots, I work this weekend too! 

I need holidays...

Ho voluto giocare con semplici capi "incolori"e due soli tocchi di colore acceso.

Mentre mi leggete, sono di nuovo sulla costa per degli shooting fotografici, si lavora anche questo weekend!

Necessito di una bella vacanza...

Soft hippie look

For a walking in the afternoon I chose a soft hippie look. I can't wear bell-bottom pants because I've got too short legs and I don't like the way they look on me, so I chose another type of jeans with used effect. But if you're tall, you certainly look very good with them. They're very trendy as well.
The flowered blouse is a must for an hippie look: so, here it is! I love very much also the wide ones, which let your shoulders naked, but I don't have any yet in my closet. Have you seen some of them very nice with a low price? Where I can find it?
A pair of clogs (or wedges) and a cascade of long necklaces well matched can complete the look in a perfect way. I chose two different necklaces, both long and low-profile in shades of naturals and pink like the blouse.
If you want to add a touch of special appeal, I recommend you a wide brimmed straw hat: it's very cool!!!
PS: what do you think about this way to wear the belt?

Per una camminata di pomeriggio ho scelto un look hippie ma in versione soft.

An old fashioned top

How many among you have still got in their closet an old-fashioned top you've not been able to get rid of? One of those too short for actual fashion but very cool a few years ago...

I've got one in a golden lurex tissue, which would let my belly naked (and I'm 28 years old and do got a belly).

I've always kept there, in a corner of my closet, waiting an idea to restyle it. I didn't find it. But I've found the way to use it again: overlapping it on another longer tank top.

Even in these pics I find really delicate this combination of gold and light yellow: what do you think about?

Quante di voi hanno ancora nell'armadio un top demodè da cui non hanno saputo staccarsi, di quelli troppo corti per il gusto di oggi ma che fino a qualche anno fa erano cool?

It was just an illusion....

Here in Florence the summer heat of last days is over and now we're back in spring. Yesterday morning I woke up and I didn't know what to wear, so I decided to pick up from winter stuff this jacket I bought in Paris last year (very cheap, a real deal). During the day I put it off, but these pics were taken in the morning when it was colder.
(These flats weren't a good choice because they're very thiny and my poor feet had suffer a little bit of cold.)

PS: my eye circles testify how little I slept that night because of the strong wind.

Qui a Firenze il caldo estivo è terminato e finalmente siamo tornati in primavera. Ieri mattina non sapevo proprio come vestirmi e così ho deciso di vestirmi a strati, raccattando dalla roba invernale questa giacchina che ho comprato a Parigi l'anno scorso (mi è costata pochissimo, un vero affare).

Informal party

Last evening we were invited at a friend's home for her birthday. I chose a very simple outfit because of informal situation, but I wanted to give a touch of mine with details: red lipstick (this one is an orange red shade perfect for good weather), red patent shoes (with a low heel: at home are more confortable!), my funny panda ring and jeans rolled up at the bottom (I think this way gives you a perfect look with pumps!)
Other accessories I chose are really basic: a linear thiny collar, two simple bangles (one of those was added last minute). Gold was perfect with simplicity of black&white, don't you think?
So what? Was I suitable for a house party among friends?

Ieri sera eravamo invitati a casa di un'amica per il suo compleanno.

Mood doesn't get up on heels today

Baggy pants and flats are not the best combination to me, because of my short legs, but some day I desire  to wear just this way: no skinny garments, no sensuality, no heels, no sofistications. Only natural hues, a pair of confortable shoes and a old shirt stole from my daddy's closet (this one has got his initials, as well!).
What do you think about? Can we enjoy sometimes a pause of total freedom? ^_^
How do you dress when your mood doesn't get up on heels?

Pantaloni larghi e informi e ballerine, me ne rendo conto, non sono il massimo per una che come me ha le gambe corte, ma ci sono certi giorni che l'unica cosa che voglio è vestire proprio così: no roba attillata, no tacchi, no sensualità, nessuna sofisticazione. Solo tinte naturali, un paio di scarpe comode e una vecchia camicia rubata dall'armadio del mio papà (questa ha ricamate perfino le sue iniziali).

Shopping weekend in Paris

Paris is amazing! You can find endless sqaures and immense avenues and also narrow streets and lanes dotted by all sort of shops...
My favourite area for shopping is Marais, where making shopping you can rest and take a cider in one of microtables you can find only in Paris..... I adore!!!!!!
Moreover, this city boasts a huge flea market and well stocked of vintage shops (where you can find anything, from a frayed man jacket to original 20's Chanel's jewelry). I have to say that I could see also original 60's furniture pieces and if I had not Ryanair's restrictions on hand baggage I certainly brougth them home!
However, I brought home a pair of  very confortable black frescolana trousers, à la garconne, black patent lether balerina shoes with a bow on the front, a short "hairy" grey jacket, finished with a silver chain (it seem like a Chanel's garment, but only for appearance, not for price!), a pair of black rubber rainy boots (just the one I'm wearing in these shoots) and a lot of vintage stripes and scarves (bought two euros each one!).
I must say in Paris I've really made best purchases I've ever do.
Besides, at flea market with only 20 euros I've buy some of trinkets I've already used to create bijoux I'll share soon with you...
Finally, I did buy up charms of Tour Eiffel shape! Just the ones they sell to tourists between Louvre and Champs Elysèes.... Soon I'll turn them into bijoux, too!!

Parigi è strepitosa! Trovi piazze sconfinate e viali immensi come stradine e viuzze costellate di negozietti di ogni tipo...
Il mio quartiere preferito per gli acquisti è il Marais, dove tra uno shopping e l'altro ci può fermare a prendere fiato (ma anche un sidro) a un microtavolino di quelli che si trovano solo a Parigi..... Io adoro!!!
Inoltre questa città può vantare un mercato delle pulci immenso e ottimamente assortito di negozietti vintage (ci trovi veramente qualsiasi cosa, dall'ultima giacca lisa da uomo a un bijoux Chanel originale degli anni Venti..). Devo dire che oltre all'abbigliamento ho potuto ammirare dei pezzi di arredamento originali degli anni Sessanta che se non avessi avuto le restrizioni bagaglio Ryanair mi sarei portata sicuramente a casa!
Degli acquisti però li ho fatti: mi sono portata a casa un paio di pantaloni di frescolana neri molto morbidi e comodi, à la garconne, delle ballerine di vernice nere con un fiocchetto in gros grain davanti, un giacchino grigio molto peloso rifinito con una catena silver (fa molto Chanel ma solo d'aspetto, non certo nel prezzo!), un paio di stivali in gomma neri (quelli che sfoggio allegramente in questo look) e diversi foulard e fasce vintage (presi a 2 euro l'uno!!!). Devo dire che a Parigi ho fatto gli acquisti più azzeccati, economici e riusciti che io abbia mai fatto!
Inoltre al marché des puces con venti euro mi sono portata a casa diversi oggettini che ho già utilizzato per comporre dei bijoux che pubblicherò prossimamente.
E per finire, ho fatto incetta di ciondolini dela Tour Eiffel! Proprio quelli che vendono ai turisti tra il Louvre e gli Champs Elysèe.... Saranno presto trasformati anche quelli in bijoux!!!
