The Fashion Interview: Giulia Boccafogli

Hello beauties
two little interviews in a week... I enjoyed so much doing them if you haven't noticed :D
I think that I told you several times about my admiration for Giulia Boccafogli, in fact here I had the chance to make her some questions, and today thanks to the beautiful online shop Lacrom, I share with you another interview to the very talented Giulia!
Giulia is an eclectic and histrionic designer, her pieces are unique and innovative and she is one of our proud newcomer designer, it's impossible not appreciate the particularity and the preciousness of her stuffs.
And two of the greatest things I like about Giulia, except for her unbelivable talent, are her humility and fondness, that make her one of the best person I have ever met.

A la recherche du temps perdu

Imagine...
it's Summer and you are away from home, on a holiday, in a big period mansion. You woke up early in the morning, dawn was just passed, there's a suffused light everywhere and you can't wait to open the window and breathe some fresh air watching the vineyard and... Suddenly, smelling the embrancing fragrances you have flash, an old memory cross your mind. Like in "A la recherche du temps perdu" when Marcel Proust had a childhood memory eating a madelaine, you saw yourself sniffing your arm in a shop and taking a bottle in your hand while saying "I want it" and that perfume was Figue du Vigne by Caudalie.
This Eau Fraiche was dedicated by Mathilde Thomas to the recollection of the Summer Sundays spent in La Lande island, in Garonne, where lives century old fig tree that borders the vineyard and where, under its shadows, the air is fresher and its aromas are amplified and combined with those of grapes and vines.
A bouquet made of cilantro and citrus, hearts notes of fig, Bulgaria rose and peach skin and closed everything woody white cedar, moss, reverbs of vetiver and cardamon.
I really love this fresh and fascinated fragrance, it will be my favourite Eau for all the Summer!
Did you already smell it? Do you like it? Let me know your thoughts!

Fashion Faves: Urania Gazelli & Benedetta Bruzziches

Hello beauties
it's time to confess that I'm a bags addicted, lover, obsessed... I like classic ones but also odd and sumptuous.
That's why, for this Summer, I'm totally in love with Urania Gazelli and Benedetta Bruzziches clutch! The first ones are very particular and perfect to make a simple outfit so playful and shining and the last are very sophisticated, glamorous and with a touch of eternal class.
Urania is a Greek designer and her plexiglass clutch are already beloved by loads of fashion victims such as Anna Dello Russo, Gilda Koral Flora and Chiara Ferragni. Colorful, futuristic and unique, I'm sure that these clutch will be the must-have in bags for the Summer.
Benedetta is a real and genuine Italian girl with a visceral passion for her work and her bags. When I saw her bags for the first time I really feel the passion through her pieces, very versatile and perfect both for day and night and for every kind of look...

Look of the day: Livin' la vida loca

Hello lovelies
how was your week-end going? Did you do anything cute?
Hands up who never heard Ricky Martin's song "Livin' la vida loca"! Ages ago I liked it so much and I think that is the right song for the Desigual attitude! They said that La vida es chula ( you can see the sentence in 3D also on my dress ) and so it's pretty cool livin' la vida loca, in the most loca way :D
You already know that I have a particular love for Desigual, so here's another stuff from my personal collection... This little dress is made particular by the combo of black-red-white with a sentence in the bottom of the item and I decided to wear only a red bag and round sunnies as accessories because the dress itslef was very eye-catching.
Hope that you will like it and let me know what you think!

Dusk by Maison Rana

Hello lovelies
one of the greatest chance that this blog gave me is to meet lot of fabulous people who few of them now I called friends. 
The very first person who believed in me and in The World C came from a far country, a mystical place where history and future run into and give birth to fabulous places like Dubai, Maison Rana  hometown.
Rana Al-Basri Mouawad is a very talented designer from UAE who made clothes characterize by freshness, sensuality and glamour. "Dusk", the darkest stage of twilight, is a capsule collection dedicated to the perfect Summer nights because Summer is not only Sun and day but also night life, parties and dusky chats with your beloved.
With this collection Rana went Over The Top, she went beyond the class. Dusk it's very different from last collections, always chic but more sensual, particular and very eye-catching. It has a strong impact on me, I see Maison Rana woman as a woman who wants to show her class with unique pieces, a strong woman who rules her own world, indipendent and fashionable. 
I fell in love with this capsule collection so it was impossible not share it with you my babes, me and Rana can't wait to know your thoughts!
And Rana... You are a really special woman, I have no words to explain how much I love you and how much I'm grateful to have found a person like you, a person that today is a Friend.

Be different, Be Divissima

Hello beauties
the Sun is shining and the weather is so good so I'm sure that lot of you are already ready to go to the beach.
For this 2013 Summer it's time to treat yourself with a new bikini and I found a fabulous shop that sell the cutest ones I've ever seen... Divissima!
Divissima is a 100% made in Italy brand known everywhere for its Micro Bikini and for its appreciated beachwear, characterized by the playful colors and the sensual shapes.
Also dresses, accessories, lingerie and jeans make Divissima the greatest Italian online shop  for the woman who wants to show her sensuous side in the most fashionable way.
As some of you know, I'm a pink lover so when I saw this bikini for the first time it was love at first sight and I can't wait to wear on the beach :)

Look of the day: The first time I saw you

Hello beauties
finally Summer is here! Yay!
So yesterday I wore my brand new Sheinside floral dress, that I love so much, for an happy hour with my bestie.
I love everything about this dress... The shape, the fabric and the pattern make it my ideal dress! I had already planned to wear it all Summer long because it's so particular and pretty.
As accessories I used a white bag, big sunnies and sandals, all very simple because the dress itself is the main character and too strong accessories would have made the whole look a real mess.
Hope you will like it, let me know what you think!

Look of the day: Honey to the bee

Hello lovelies
one of Summer 2013 trends is definetely the stripes. They are everywhere, from clothes to bags passing by shoes and all the fashionistas in the world have almost one garment in their closet.
When I saw this dress for the first time I was fascinated by the stipes combo of pink and white and by the empire shape and when I take it in my hand my friend immediately said " OMG! Take it off, you'll seem Maya the bee!". I don't know if it exists outside Italy the cartoon Maya the Bee, maybe it has another name, and it has a body with stripes like these but black and yellow, I have a silly friend :D
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

The new era of shopping online

Hello lovelies
these years are the consecration of the shopping online. Internet is the Cockaigne, the place where you can find whatever you want whenever you want... It's 3 AM and you can't sleep but you are thinking about that Zalando blouse you saw the morning before and Ta Da two clicks and the blouse is yours!
And what else is better than having coupon code to save money? Esaldi is the greatest site to find great deals to grab your favourite items with some discounts!

Look of the day: Dream as if you will live forever

Hello lovelies
how was your week-end going? Did you do anything cute? Mine was very relaxing :)
On Saturday I went to an happy hour with my best friend and I decided to wear my new simply chic Gazèl white dress and a LEROCK waistcoat. 
I really like this last one because it's not the common denim waistcoat but is very particular thanks to the embellished collar and I love it matched with the pure Gazèl dress. I think that combined the waistcoat with an eccentric dress would have given a "too much" and "too bad" result, so I prefered softened it with a sheer dress.
Hope you will like it, let me know what you think!

OPS! I did it again

Hello lovelies
as you know I'm an accessories maniac and it's a long time that I like OPS! Objects bracelets!
Loved by all the fashionistas, OPS! Objects created the famous chain bracelt in resin with a big heart-shaped pendant in silicon in a huge range of colors or in polka-dots.
For this S/S OPS! Objects gave a new birth to the iconic Tennis bracelet, that became a must-have thanks to the tennis player Chris Evert who during a match had imposed to stop the game in order to find all the diamonds of her bracelet that was broken in the game and so the name Tennis :)
Completely revisited, the OPS! Objects Tennis bracelet has a silicon mould with a push and pull clasp and with 31 Swarovski capped in a polycarbonate core, ready to be on the wrist of every fashion victim!
After the OPS! Love I did it again and I fell in love with these Tennis, I can't wait to have my own arm party full of them <3
Don't you think they are so pretty cute?

Look of the day: I dreamt of magic

Hello lovelies
finally it's Friday! Do you have any cute plans for the week-end?
Yesterday I went out for lunch with my mum and I decided it was the time to wear my brand new Zara dress.

Hope that you will like it and let me know what you think!
