Ceremony outfit

The occasion was the First Communion of my dear friend's son.

This might be an idea for your own occasions: this period is full of ceremonies, I know, and it's often so difficult choosing an apparel you'll keep to use more times...

I chose light colours, as white and powder pink, perfect for a warm day of final spring. The touch of solemnity is due to the golden rose envelope purse, to the height of heels, to pearls I've chosen for jewelry and for the sleeve importance. Those which seem like feathers are just frayed pieces of a fabric: this detail conquered my eyes and definitely convinced me to buy it!

Remember these occasions we're a little bit more bare: choose an appropriate intimate! It should not show through garments (white intimate is visible through white garments!!!), and absolutely it should not let spilling out hooks or straps: they're terrible! Today are available several types of bras wich are suitable for every kind of neckline: you just need to find the right one!

Have a great week, babies...

L'occasione era la Prima Comunione del figlio di una mia carissima amica.

Questa potrebbe essere un'idea anche per voi, per una delle cerimonie di cui questo periodo dell'anno è così denso: è sempre molto difficile, infatti, scegliere un abbigliamento che riusciremo ad indossare anche in altre occasioni...

Total white? With caramel accessories!

Hi, sweeties! Love this weather: it's perfect to keep your windows wide open, to take a walk among the fields, to let my hair dry naturally with warm air, to dining on the terrace under the stars and.... to dress up with total white as well!!

If you got any white dress, this is the moment to resume it from your closet! If you don't have it, no problem: you certainly have a few other white garments to match just like the way I did.

The miniskirt and the shirt are both made in linen/cotton fibers: I adore the rumpled look they got and the way  it makes you feel: so relaxed and free. Plus choosing the top and the bottom in the same fabric and shape, you can simulate a dress.

For all day long, I prefer mixing total white with casual style caramel accessories. 

A "precious" and important necklace, finally, pulls up the whole look by eliminating the carelessness effect risk.

Do you like the result?

Last note: under white blouses like this one, use a nude bra, not a white one, please!!! The white one is visible throughout!!!

Salve, dolcezze! Amo questo tempo: è perfetto per tenere le finestre aperte, per fare una camminata in mezzo ai campi, per lasciar asciugare i miei capelli all'aria, per cenare in terrazza sotto le stelle e... per vestire in total white!

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".

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...

How to wear the lemon print top

When I saw Stella McCartney's catwalk at first I thought it was uncommercial because of its prints of lemons and oranges (you can see the complete catwalk here): I thought it was too extravagant to be worn everyday.
But now summer is arriving and I ever more need bright colours and funny prints!
I'm in love with orange this period and the same is with lemon yellow. So, this is another still-life outfit with this colour!
This fantastic clutch is available on Dorothy Perkins.com at cost of 25 $ only!
I already proposed matching bright colours with naturals, I think it's a really cool combination, so here it is another one more! I own a similar beige eco-leather jacket (see it here) and I think it won't be difficult finding one at Zara. However, this one is by Burberry Prorsum.
You can use heels if you don't like wedges like these, which are by Michael Antonio and their cost is $100, but you have to choose a pair of pumps.
Minimal jewelry: use a unique necklace or a bracelet: this outfit is for daytime!

Quando ho visto per la prima volta la sfilata di Stella McCartney ho pensato che era troppo poco commerciale, con quelle stampe di limoni e arance dappertutto (puoi vedere la sfilata qui): ho pensato che fosse troppo stravagante per essere usata da noi comuni mortali.
Ma adesso che l'estate sta arrivando e io ho bisogno sempre più di colori accesi e stampe divertenti, mi sono ricreduta!
In questo periodo vado pazza per l'arancio e così anche per il giallo , perciò eccovi un altro outfit con questo colore!
Questa clutch favolosa è disponibile sul sito di Dorothy Perkins al costo di soli 25 $!
Ho già proposto di mixare i colori neon e quelli brillanti  con i toni naturali come beige e sabbia, ed è perchè penso che sia un mix veramente cool. Perciò, eccovene un altro! :)
Ho una giacca di ecopelle come questa, presa da Zara l'anno scorso (la puoi vedere qui) e penso che se ne volete una non c'è bisogno di prendere questa di Burberry Prorsum: dovreste trovarla nelle catene low-cost.
Potete usare i tacchi se non vi piacciono le zeppe (queste sono di Michael Antonio Studio e le trovate qui a $100), ma in quel caso scegliete delle semplici decolletée.
Siate parche di altri accessori: puntate su una singola collana o un bracciale: è un outfit per il giorno!

Urban chic

We're the new metropolitan people: we need something confortable but not shabby; everyday we go to work, or school, we front business meetings and then we go grocery shopping, get a drink with friends, we like to be trendy and cannot squander the money, we move all the day in cars, trains, buses, tubes and we always have to be presentable, 'cause our own apparel is our first business card which could open us many doors or close them....
We need colour, 'cause we're tired or stressed, and dress up colors is a good theraphy. We need feeling confortable as much as feminine.
Well, I try everyday to give an answer to all my needs (I think they're yours as well).
The clutch, I know, isn't the ideal bag for our daily journey, but we can bring one into our big shoulder bag :)
This is the outfit photographed by the staff of "TuStyle" magazine, you saw it yesterday, and here they are all the details you asked me.
Join it!

Siamo le moderne abitanti delle città: abbiamo bisogno di qualcosa di confortevole senza scadere nel trasandato; ogni giorno andiamo al lavoro, a scuola, affrontiamo incontri di lavoro e poi andiamo a fare la spesa, a prendere un aperitivo con gli amici, ci piace essere trendy e non possiamo spendere una cifra, ci spostiamo tutto il giorno in auto, in treno, in bus, in metropolitana e dobbiamo sempre essere presentabili, perchè il nostro abbigliamento è il nostro primo biglietto da visita che può aprirci meravigliose porte e o chiudercele in faccia...

Powder pink and burgundy

I lately discovered this colour combination I think it's delicious and sofisticated and gives an allure so retro and delicate: powder pink matched with burgundy (called by me wine).
The perfect outfit for a not too formal evening: I wanted to enhance this retro look by choosing pieces as this small embroidered damask clutch (purchased a few years ago at Accessorize), the satin goddess top, the ring with small beads and two simple necklaces with a thiny chain and a single pendant. The first one is renowned by you. The second one is my recent creation: I found this little clock at the flea market in Paris for a trifle price (as you can see there's "chloè" written on the dial!!! Anyone can tell me if it could be the mytical "Chloé" label from Paris catwalks???). Then I simply mounted on a chain and added a clip. I like it so much!!!
And what about you? Do you like it?

Ho scoperto solo recentemente questo abbinamento di colori che trovo delizioso e sofisticato e regala un'allure retro e delicata: il rosa cipria abbinato al burgundy (che io chiamo anche vino).

Lumberwoman

Another working outfit, one of these make you feel confortable but not trivial, with jeans and a few accessories in caramel shades.

What do you think about? Would you use it every day?

Un altro "outfit da lavoro", uno di quelli che ti fa sentire comoda ma non banale, con i jeans e qualche accessorio nelle sfumature del caramello.

B-day party

A birthday party for which I have rummage among my winter stuff because of the cold weather.
I've found this dress I didn't wear for a long time and I matched it with black garments and accessories.
I decided for my new prune lipstick (what do you think about?) and a light brush stroke of pink blush and the result was nice to me.
What do you think about?

Festa di compleanno per la quale ho rovistato tra le cose invernali dato il freddo che fa.

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.

How to match the flowered dress

Do you remember this pic? I took it from Glamour Italy for inspiration in this post.
Now I found some cute pieces we can use to reproduce the same outfit in a cheaper key.
The denim shirt is a cult piece of this hippie style season as well. So, if you already have one in your closet, you're advantaged. I'm trying to fix up.

Vi ricordate di questa immagine? L'avevo presa da Glamour Italia per ispirazione in questo post.
Ora ho trovato dei pezzi molto carini per riprodurre lo stesso outfit in chiave più economica.
