Mix&match

Let us free to mix and overlap; let's experience, let's broke schemes and let's overcome our fear to dare. Let's write our personal rules and make shopping in instinct, without thinking "how could I match that?" and "isn't it too excessive?"... then let's take the pieces from our wardrobe and let's start to mix and match our new look.
...It's spring, the ideal period to renovate ourselves!
Kisses, Sara.


Sentiamoci libere di mixare e sovrapporre, sperimentiamo, rompiamo gli schemi, sconfiggiamo la nostra paura di osare, riscriviamo le regole e facciamo shopping d'istinto, senza pensare razionalmente a "cosa lo abbino?" e "non sarà eccessivo?"... poi prendiamo  i nostri pezzi dall'armadio e iniziamo a comporre, pezzo dopo pezzo, il nostro nuovo look.

...E' primavera, quale momento migliore per rinnovarsi?
Baci, Sara.

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.

Toledo

Back in Italy with lots of pics and a river of emotions flowing inside... I had such wonderful travel mates, with whom I spent unforgetteble time. So I wonder to say thanks to them: Claudia and Carlos, I'm really proud to have friends like you!

I really love this opening picture: Claudia and me seem like Thelma and Louise on the road :)

For the visit in Toledo I chose an outfit I tried during my travel in Croatia (do you remember?) which I love so much. I changed just something.

Toledo is a charming medieval town not far from Madrid, whose particularity is the moresque style you can find in the facades of bricks, in the caracteristic doors which inspired the whole arabic architecture and in the flashes of colors of decorative ceramic azulejos.
Enjoy this bunch of pics and see you tomorrow with my Madrid shopping tour results ;)

Tornata in Italia con una montagna di fotografie e un fiume di emozioni che mi scorre dentro... Ho avuto dei compagni di viaggio mervigliosi con cui ho passato dei momenti indimenticabili. Per questo li ringrazio: Claudia e Carlos, sono veramente orgogliosa di avere due amici come voi!
Adoro la foto di apertura di questo post: Claudia ed io sembriamo Thelma e Louise on the road :)

Trieste

In the way for home, we got a little stop in Trieste, Italy and Gabriele catched this bunch of amazing pics I want to share with you.

Havee fun!

Sulla via verso casa, abbiamo fatto una piccola fermata a Trieste, in cui l'occhio artistico di Gabriele ha catturato questi magnifici dettagli che ho voluto condividere con voi. Se vi piacciono, potete vederne molti altri CLICCANDO QUI e diventando fan della sua pagina Fecebook.

Buon divertimento!

Like a sailor

Talked about these cleaver shoppers yesterday in THIS POST.

Now here it is the outfit I thought to match them. I think they are perfect not only to go shopping but for the beach as well. 

I got a lot of fun taking these pics... that's all!!! :D

Vi ho parlato ieri di queste shoppers intelligenti in QUESTO POST.

Ecco quindi adesso l'outfit che vi avevo promesso per abbinarle. Io le trovo perfette non solo per la spesa ma anche per la spiaggia.

Mi sono divertita un monte a fare queste foto... questo è tutto!!!! :D

Yellow and stripes

This is an outfit I used a few weeks ago. I didn't take pics of this, but I liked it very much, so I wanted to do it now. You may have already seen this combination of black&whit stripes with yellow in other blogs: in fact it's a very trendy matching (do you remember? I posted something about that in this post - CLICK HERE).
Yellow is now booming up magazines, stores and streets and I don't find it hard to believe: I feel so good when I wear it! And what about you?
You miss something yellow in your closet? Take a look at this shopping selection on Style.it: you may find just what you're looking for!

Questo è un outfit che ho usato qualche settimana fa. Non avevo fatto foto, ma dato che mi piaceva molto, ho voluto farle ora. Potreste aver già visto questa combinazione di righe bianche e nere col giallo su altri blog: in effetti, è un abbinamento molto trendy (vi ricordate? Tempo fa avevo postato qualcosa del genere in questo post - CLICCA QUI).

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...

Stripes all season long

This year I've got a lust for stripes. I already bought a miniskirt (see it here) and a tshirt (see it here) but already owned two sweaters (take a look here) and a dress (check it here). I can't stop !!! :(
Here they are my new sneakers purchased on TheOutnet.com for a trifle... Do you like them? Tomorrow I will show how I paired them to go to beach...
Prada spring/summer 2011 collection influenced very much this season's trends and fashion. But this designer wasn't the one on catwalks to propose overlapped and multicolored crazy mixed stripes.
Here it is a selection of pics from catwalks to take inspiration from.
There are four rules to match stripes this season: full color, all over, crazy mix.
Have fun!

Quest'anno ho una voglia irresistibile di righe. Ho già comprato una minigonna (guardala qui) e una tshirt (guardala qui) e già possedevo due maglioncini (guardane uno qui) e un abitino (questo qui). Non riesco a fermarmi!!! :(

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!!!

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.

Stripes

As you can see browsing through every fashion magazine, stylists publish many looks inspired to wonderful Prada spring/summer collection and many of those are very amazing but less wearable than people can do every day. Here it is a striped look you can easily wear every day, to go working as well (just like I do).
Today it's raining so you can see booties and light garments in the same outfit: I can say it's a good solution for this weather. What do you think about?

Come potete vedere sfogliando qualsiasi rivista di moda, le proposte per la primavera/estate si ispirano molto alla meravigliosa e originalissima collezione di Prada, proposte che risultano stupende ma molto poco portabili nella vita di tutti i giorni. Ecco qui invece un look creato con le righe che potete facilmente ricreare anche voi e utilizzare ogni giorno anche per andare a lavorare (proprio come faccio io).

It's a rainy day and I make e-shopping!

Today is a rainy day here in Florence, so all we can do is stay at home and make relaxing things: reading, listening to music, making shopping online :D !!
I have already spotted a few days ago a shopping bag in cognac real leather, on a site  suggested to me by my mum (yes, that's right: she's very advanced, she makes e-shopping since several years, and she discovered and experienced it before me and also suggests new sites that I didn't not know .... she's a legend!)
The site is Tuscany Leather and you can take a look here.
Plus they offer a free serice of customizing bags and I certainly will enjoy it!
For now I will not tell you which bag I've chosen... Would you guess...?


Oggi è un giorno di pioggia qui a Firenze, perciò tutto ciò che possiamo fare è starcene a casa a fare cose che ci danno relax: leggere, ascoltare musica, fare shopping online :D !!

St.Tropez

St.Tropez by Sara Gambarelli featuring pleated twill pants


This is a summer look, inspired to St.Tropez.
I was thinking: how to match the same old b&w stripes tee in a new way?
So, this is the result. Tell me what do you think about.


Questo è un look estivo, ispirato a St.Tropez.
Pensavo: come combianre la stessa vecchia tshirt a righe bianche e nere in un modo nuovo?
Ecco, questo è il risultato. Ditemi che ne pensate.
