E-shop Lifeincurl: finally on the web!

I've got the pleasure to announce that my first shop on Etsy is born! You can purchase now all the pieces created by me ^_^

I designed this mini collection during latest months, searching and assembling with care and love for details textiles and othe materials purchased in European cities during my travels... 

Encouraged by you and your lovely comments on this blog, I created these precious and unique scarves, in wool and silk, in deep and mysterious colors, warm, soft and very large, so they're gonna allowing you to wear them in every way you like: as scarves or shawls.

Do you remember the first one? While I was creating it, it was published just here so seen all the enthusiasm you and my friends demonstrated, I decided to create more and sell them.

Every piece is totally crafted and has been created with much love and textiles that are no longer in production, so every scarf is unique and precious: there are only three pieces, all available in my new e-shop.

If you're gonna buy one, remember to keep it with as much love as I did to create.

The first piece of the collection - you can see in these pics taken by the talented  Sara Mautone  - is already available here, shipping all over the world. Be fast, because only for this week (until 21st of April) delivery charges are free!

Next days I will add more pieces, so stay tuned on this blog and my Facebook page!
Please, let me know what you think about that!

Kisses, Sara.

E' stata lunga ma ce l'ho fatta: finalmente, ecco che il mio primo shop online su Etsy ha visto la luce! Vi potrete acquistare i pezzi creati da me con le mie manine, a partire da oggi ^_^

Ho progettato questa mini collezione nei mesi scorsi, ricercando e assemblando con cura e attenzione per il dettaglio i tessuti e i materiali acquistati in giro per l'Europa durante i miei viaggi... Stimolata da voi e dai vostri adorabili commenti su questo blog, ho pensato a delle sciarpe uniche e preziose, in lana e seta, dai colori profondi e misteriosi, calde, morbide e molto grandi, che vi permetteranno di indossarle come più vi piace: come sciarpe o come scialli.
Vi ricordate la prima? Mentre nasceva, ve la mostravo qui, e visto l'entusiasmo che ha suscitato in tutte voi e nelle mie amiche, ho deciso di crearne delle altre e di metterle in vendita.

Ogni pezzo è stato creato con tanto amore e in modo totalmente artigianale, con tessuti non più in produzione, perciò ogni sciarpa è preziosa: ne esistono solo tre e sono tutte acquistabili sul mio nuovo e-shop.

Se deciderai di acquistarne una, ricordati di custodirla con lo stesso amore che ci ho messo io a realizzarla!

Il primo pezzo - che vedete in queste foto scattate dalla talentuosissima Sara Mautone - è già disponibile per la vendita a questo link, con spedizioni effettuabili in tutto il mondo. Affrettatevi, perchè solo per questa settimana (da oggi fino al 21 aprile) le spese di spedizione in Italia sono gratuite!

Nei prossimi giorni verranno aggiunti molti altri pezzi, rimanete aggiornate, vi terrò al corrente di tutto su questo blog e sulla mia pagina Facebook!
Non manate di farmi sapere cosa ne pensate!!!
Baci, Sara.

Tortoiseshell

This year the coolest sunglasses, I think, are the tortoiseshell ones. I saw them on the nose of several of my favourite fashion bloggers and now I want them too! :)

In fact, the offers of this item are multiplying and it's very difficult deciding. There are some squared, rounded, in shape of teardrop, with blue lens, or fumé.

What's your favourite one?

Quest'anno gli occhiali da sole più cool, a mio avviso, sono quelli stampati tartaruga. Li ho visti sul naso di molte delle mie fashion blogger preferite e ora ne voglio un paio anch'io! :)

In effetti, le offerte di quest'articolo da parte delle varie aziende si stanno moltiplicando ed è molto difficile decidere. Ce ne sono di squadrati, di tondi, a goccia, con lenti blu, lenti calde o fumé.

Qual è il vostro modello preferito?

There's nothing like taking care of ourselves

When we're tired and disappointed, when we are alone or just sad, when we wouldn't prepare something to eat and we would turn off even singing birds... It's just the time we have to take care of ourselves and tickle our sense of beuty: let's light two candles, let's choose a nice and quiet place, let's enjoy a colorful and healthy dish, let's surround ourselves by fragrant and amazing things... that's a gift for ourselves!!!

The other evening it was just the way I felt and so I chose my favourite place: the terrace, at my new lavender table, with two lanterns which create the right atmosphere... and I felt good!

Good going of the week, my sweeties!!!

Quando siamo stanche e deluse, quando siamo sole o semplicemente tristi, quando non avremmo voglia di prepararci da mangiare e vorremmo spegnere perfino gli uccellini che cantano...

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?

Long flowered dress

Finally it's arrived the season for long and fluttering flowered dresses!!! And finally, I decided to buy one for me too, tempted by price as well (this one is by H&M, 19,90 €).
What can we match it with?
At first, I have to say I used this outfit from the morning (without the necklace) to the evening. For the evening we certainly need something on our shoulders, so here it is the denim jacket (but we can use a light denim shirt, kept open in the front, as I already shown in THIS POST).
The real trouble to me are shoes: although I think flat sandals are perfect for this kind of dress, my height (163 cm) don't allow me to walk without cleaning the ground with the bottom of the dress... So, getting up for 5-6 cm is a must... Excluding jewel-sandals and heels, the only one solution are wedges, in particular the cork ones, that I adore. For who doesn't know, cork wedges were a wonderful invention by a great italian artisan, Salvatore Ferragamo, in Forties, when shortage of raw materials because of the war forced the genius to try out new materials for his shoes.
The only thing I got a doubt on is the snake textured clutch... Would you give me an advice?

E' arrivata finalmente la stagione degli abiti a fiori lunghi e svolazzanti!!! E finalmente mi sono decisa a comprarne uno anch'io, invogliata da un prezzo imbattibile (questo costa 19,90 euro, da H&M).
Con cosa lo abbino?

Photographed by "TuStyle In the City"

(ph.: courtesy of TuStyle magazine)

As I promised you, these are some pics from my little shooting in Florence with "TuStyle" magazine (see their Facebook page here), who decided to take pics from the street during the "TuStyle in the city" event. And I'm very honoured to have been photographed by them!!! :)
Do you like my outfit? If you want, you can appreciate it directly on their page, HERE.
See you tomorrow with the rest of the outfit pics!

Come vi avevo promesso, eccovi qualche foto del mio piccolo shooting fotografico a Firenze con la rivista  "TuStyle" (trovate la loro pagina Facebook qui), che ha deciso di fotografare i look direttamente dalla strada con l'evento itinerante "TuStyle in the city". E io sono molto onorata di essere stata fotografata da loro!! :)

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!

New in

Yesterday I spent a nice evening with the staff of the italian magazine "TU STYLE", who organized an happy hour just here in Florence and I was invited so I had the honour of a talk and a picture taken together the director! Yessss!!! :D
Soon they'll publish the photos on their Facebook page, stay tuned for updates!
And now, here it is  the new entry in my closet!! Do you remember? I was looking for a pair of platform pumps like these (in THIS POST) and I've found them up on DOROTHY PERKINS.com.
I chose a colour I needed (I already own lots of black heels). What do you think about?
Tomorrow the first outfit with them! ;)

Ieri sera ho passato una piacevole serata con lo staff della rivista "TU STYLE", che ha organizzato un aperitivo proprio qui a Firenze a cui sono stata invitata, così ho avuto l'onore di chiacchierare e farmi una foto nientepopodimenoche col direttore!! Proprio così! :D
Presto pubblicheranno le foto sulla loro pagina Facebook, non perdetevi gli aggiornamenti!
E adesso, ecco a voi la new entry nel mio armadio! Ricordate? Stavo cercando un paio di decolletée con plateaux come queste (in QUESTO POST) e le ho finlamente trovate sul sito di DOROTHY PERKINS.
Ho scelto un colore che mi mancava, avendo già molti altri tacchi di colore nero. Che ne dite, vi piacciono?
Domani, il primo outfit con loro! ;)

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....).

Wonderful gift from Tuscany Leather

Do you remember THIS PURCHASE I made a few months ago up on the site Tuscany Leather?
Now the site is completely new and shows a large quantity of types and colours to choose. Quality is renowned (who doesn't know the leather tanned in Tuscany?), delivery times are short and personalization is for free!
The bag I bought immediatly became my ideal companion for my everyday outfits and loosing time.
Well, now I've got two bags in real leather by this label! This one is a wonderful gift I receveid on Saturday! :)
And I've got a large smile on my face...!
The colour is stunning, the bag has high quality finishing and many compartments inside (very useful for all women like me who keep in their own bags a high quantity of sundries we can't able to find if necessary).
I've got my name impressed on the bag as well! Later you'll see the first photos of the bag in an outfit of mine!
Meanwhile, tell me: do you like it as much as me?

Vi ricordate di QUESTO ACQUISTO che feci qualche settimana fa sul sito Tuscany Leather?

Where I keep my bijoux

As many of you already know,  I love recycling things, and change their destination of use. For exemple, I'm realy proud of this idea to re-use glasses to keep my earrings and rings. You have to choose a glass with large top and fill it with coloured gravel or sand.... Then you can embed your rings in and hung up your earrings along the edge.
Do you like the result?

Come molti di voi sanno già, mi piace molto riciclere le cose cambiandogli destinazione d'uso.

How to wear a striped tee

A couple of ways to wear striped white&black tees has been illustrated by me in other older posts (you can find them HERE, HERE and HERE).
Now I'm showing you a more glamourous way, perfect for the evening as well.
Obi belt and skirt are from Gucci Spring / Summer 2011 collection, and I know, it isn't a cheap choice! In fact, I'm looking for a gold obi belt like this and actually I didn't find it yet. (Have you seen a similar type a little bit cheaper than this one?)
Striped tee is by Moschino but you can easily find a similar one in every low-cost shop (it's the trend of the season of course!).
These shoes are by Chiara Ferragni but you can find a pair less expensive than these on Asos.com or AkiraShop!
Enjoy your Easter, sweeties! Take care of your silhouette!!!

Un paio di modi di indossare le tshirt a righe bianche e nere sono stati illustrati in altri post (per esempio QUESTO, QUESTO e QUESTO).
Ma adesso ve ne mostro uno più glamourous, adatto anche per la sera.
La cintura obi e la gonna vengono dalla collezione primavera / estate 2011 di Gucci e, lo so, non è stata proprio una scelta tra le più convenienti! Infatti sto cercando una cintura obi oro simile a questa dappertutto ma finora nulla! (Voi ne avete viste di meno dipendiose, in giro?)
La maglia a righe è di Moschino ma confido nella vostra risparmiosità di fashioniste oculate e sono sicura che ve ne andrete a cercare una più economica in una qualsiasi catena low-cost..
Queste scarpe sono di Chiara Ferragni ma se ne può reperire un paio meno costoso su Asos.com o AkiraShop!
Buona Pasqua, dolcezze! Prendetevi cura della vostra silhouette!!!

Rock soul

Yes, I've got a rock soul. I feel a little bit tomboy, but with heels, of course!
Here I was wearing a long printed tee, very rock, with a pair of used effect jeans and details in black and silver. My hair surely helps me in the look!
Tomorrow it's Easter and my parents decided to come and visit me: they will be here in a few hours (great! I'm very happy!!!!). And how you're gonna spend your Easter?
I would remember you can follow me also on Bloglovin' : a simple and useful network which helps you to keep track of all your favourite blogs. Try that!
You can enjoy my Facebook page too: you will find many extra contents. Share it!
Thank you for following me so lovely and cover me of compliments !!! You're fantastic!!!

Sì, ho un'anima rock. Mi sento un po' maschiaccio, ma pur sempre sui tacchi !!!

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.

Shall I do that?

What do you think?
I found them at Benetton. The price is affordable and I'm very attracted but I didn't buy them.
What do you say? Shall I do?

Che ne pensate?
Le ho trovate da Benetton. Il prezzo è alla mia portata e ne sono molto attratta ma non le ho ancora comprate.
Voi che dite? Dovrei?

Pop!

Pics from my loose Sunday afternoon, before the party.
This necklace is another gift from Mexico by my love Gab (isn't him so lovely? ^_^)
What's more, I also stole his scarf to cover better: I might have a relapse...

Foto dalla mia domenica pomeriggio in libertà, prima della festa.

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.

Personal shopper - Florence

Who follows me on Facebook already knows I'm ill so I will publish no new outfit post for a while.
As I promised you, here there are a few of precious addresses which will guide you in shopping if you're planning a vacation in Florence. Let's go!

Chi mi segue su Facebook sa già che sono malata e che non potrò pubblicare nuovi post di outfit per un po'.
Come vi avevo promesso, ecco qualche prezioso indirizzo che vi guiderà nello shopping se avete in programma una vacanza a Firenze. Andiamo!

Colours!

Colors are among us! :D
Shops are invaded by shocking pinks, neon yellows, bright greens, joyful oranges.... Color is all around! What a beauty!!
This is a bunch of pics I took on Wednesday, when I was in Florence for an "hunting tour": hunting pics, ideas, purchases, inspirations....
Now enjoy these pics, tomorrow I will tell you where I've been! :)

I colori sono tra noi! :D
I negozi sono invasi di rosa shocking, gialli neon, verdi brillanti, arancioni gioiosi... Il colore è tutto intorno a noi! Che bellezza!!
