L'ombre et la lumière

No, don't think I go out wearing just a blazer on when it's cold. This pic is from last week, when the weather was more pleasant than now.

No, non vado in giro solo con la giacchetta con questo freddo. La foto è di mercoledì scorso, quando effettivamente c'era una temperatura molto mite.

Knitted coat

Sometimes a garment can improve our days.
For exemple, when it's cold outside and all we need is a hug, the heat of a soft knit coat - with no zips, no buttons, just pinned on the front with a large brooch - could means a lot and it could make you feel protected expecially when you can't afford to be weak and you have to pull out all the grit you've got.
At least the cold wind is no longer an enemy.

Alle volte un vestito può migliorarci la giornata.
Ad esempio, quando fa freddo e abbiamo bisogno di un abbraccio, il calore di un cappotto morbido di maglia, senza zip, senza bottoni, solo con una grande spilla a riunire i lembi, può fare davvero tanto e farti sentire al riparo soprattutto quando non puoi permetterti di essere debole e devi sfoderare tutta la grinta di cui disponi. Almeno il vento freddo non è più un nemico.

How to dress cool in a cheap way: Celine ankle boots

Hi, girls!!! I'm innaugurating a new section of the blog today, I guess you're going to like it as much as I do (please, leave me your comments and impressions below!!!). 

To be fashion doesn't mean spend a lot of money anymore: thanks to low cost chains, we can easily being trendy, and my skill will be choosing cult items among designers' proposals and finding the cheapest alternative, so you can decide if saving your money or making an investment.

I exactly called the section "Save or invest" :)

You will judge!

Buongiorno ragazze! Inauguro oggi una nuova sezione del blog che spero vi piacerà quanto piace a me (lasciatemi le vostre impressioni, grazie!!!!).

Essere fashion non vuol dire più spendere una barcata di soldi: grazie alle catene low cost, possiamo facilmente essere trendy e il mio compito sarà quello di selezionare i pezzi cult tra le proposte degli stilisti e trovare l'alternativa più a buon prezzo, così che potrete liberamente scegliere se risparmiare o fare un investimento sulla qualità.

Per l'appunto, ho intitolato la sezione "Risparmia o investi" :)

A voi l'ardua sentenza!!!! :)

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!

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?

Among the ruins

Hi, guys! 

Today I'll show you really special pics that my friend Marina took in a dilapidated housefarm (maybe an abandoned factory).

As soundtrack I think that "Tango di buona speranza" by Riccardo Tesi goes perfectly with these pictures, and I invite you to listen to here (it's the first song on the list .... amazing!).

Enjoy and happy listening!

Buongiorno, ragazzi!

Oggi vi mostro delle foto veramente speciali che mi ha scattato la mia amica Marina in una cascina diroccata (forse una fabbrica abbandonata).
