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!

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?

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?

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).

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".
