Look of the day: Take a walk on my dark side

Hello beauties
the weather here is very sleepy and cold, sunny days are gone and what I'd like to do is staying in bed under my cozy duvet sipping an hot tea :)
The bad weather makes me think about the Baroque era and I really believe that this Desigual jacket has a real Baroque touch.
Dark and fascinating colors, embellished fabric and precious little details such as the crowns are turning back time and going straight to XVII century.
Black as the weather, gold as the luxury and red as the passion that flows through veins.
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Look of the day: Let Them Stare

Sometimes, in life, you have the chance to meet special people with a big passion and a huge talent who create unique and original stuffs.
The first time I saw a Let Them Stare piece I was really impressed and amazed because I can clearly saw the love that the sweet Anastasia put in made it. The precious fabric, the structureted, geometric and architectonic but very sensual shape make me feel blessed in wearing it.
Anastasia is an innovative designer who presents her tailored clothing line through her blog where she wears herself her own pieces.
An Indian-Israeli brilliant, eclectic and visionary artist with an histrionic talent who was nominated by Elle Japan one of the best dressed woman, Anastasia has fashion and style in her veins. I truly love her sense of glamour and her clothes are always eye-catching, never unnoticed with pure and perfect lines with a silent and eternal elegance.
Take a look and follow her journey on Let Them Stare because Anastasia is a name that we will hear for a long long long time in the fashion system!
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Look of the day: I love the way you are

Hello beauties
finally it's Friday and the week-end is just around the corner, any cute plans for next days?
After few very cold days, yesterday a shy ray of light peered out and I couldn't resist to wear a wool dress with short sleeves without a coat... Let's if tomorrow I'll be in bed with high temperature :D
I matched it with a same color beanie, my timeless Ray-Ban and a bag that I bought some time ago in one of the most beautiful vintage shop in Cote d'Azur. I really like France from Paris to Montecarlo passing by Alsace and Lorraine, Normandy and Brittany... I must plan a trip so soon because I really miss all these places.
Hope that you will like it, let m eknow what you think!

Look of the day: I'll let you come into my dreams

Hello beauties
Fall is came and so it's again that time of the year where the coats are the main characters of the looks and I must say that I'm obsessed with them :)
I love feeling warm and cozy, like a sort of protection, when outside the leaves are on the ground and the weather is a little sleepy, it seems we can live life in slow motion... But it's only an illusion because life goes faster than ever :D
For an happy hour with a friend yesterday, I wore a color blocked coat with a black faux fur collar matched with one of my favourite Gucci and a tired-girl-best-friend Prada sunnies.
Such as in "You've got a mail" movie, Fall makes me wanna buy "a well-sharped pencils bouquet" and start drawing :)

Look of the day: Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

Hello beauties
Have I ever told you that I love Shakespeare? I read all his plays and yesterday I finished reading for the second time "All's well that ends well" and one of my favourite quote in it is in act 1, scene 1 << Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none >> said by the Comtesse.
I think it's a so wise sentence and advice because by loving all we can open our heart to every person but trusting only a few it's a sort of protection of ourselves from who is not good with us and doing wrong to none help to spread love and not hate.
Do you agree?
My daily look was quite simple but elegant because I went to a work lunch out and I wore my wondrous GAS Pop Up jeans, emerald coat and bag and a faux-fur collar to give a precious touch to the whole look.
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Memories

Hello lovelies

These are the ones that, when I look at them, a smile always rises upon my face and I hope that they could make the same sweet effect also to you...
I'd love to know which is your favourite one and why, let me know!

Look of the day: Love is in the eyes

Hello lovelies
how was your week-end going? Hope everything was fine!
Yesterday I went to a birthday lunch in family, at home, with that cozy atmosphere that only people who truly love you can create and transmit you... The joy in eating all together, the friendly speeches, pure laughs and true embraces.
A simple outfit with a particular golden skirt that I adore and a velvet blazer, matched with one of my favourite Gucci bag and an oldie but goodie Zara necklace.
I really think that real Love lies in eyes, eyes tell the truth like the actions... Words sometimes tell lies, even if they are in a sweet shape, but eyes never do it. Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Look of the day: We love

Hello beauties
one of the must-have that should be in every girl closet during Fall and Winter is the coat, if you found the perfect one for you it could become your best friend during cold days.
Since I was a teenager I always had coats in my wardrobe but never found My Special One... Until few days ago!
I was in a shop and, just entering, my eyes were catched by a Desigual black and white coat but I first decided to take a look at the whole shop. After one tour I came back to the coat, I looked at it and took another tour of the shop, I came for the second time and I took another tour of the shop and, at the third time, I grab it and went in front of the mirror... It was love, it fit perfectly, I loved the print and I loved it so... Now it's mine <3
I told you my lil' story because I'd like to know if it ever happened also to you to enter in a shop, looking immediately at a stuff but decide to take a look around in the shop few times and, in the end, buy the first thing you saw :) 
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Look of the day: Beauty lies in simplicity

Hello beauties
how is your week going? Hope everything fine!
Yesterday was one of those evenings where the beautiful simple things were the best way to end an hard day.
I decided to put on a pair of comfy jeans, my fave lil' sweater ever by LEROCK,from F/W collection, and go to the cinema to watch The Smurfs 2 in 3D that was really funny :D
Beauty is in simple things, is in griping a box of pop-corn while watching a movie with continuous laughs due to your favourite childhood blue friends.
Don't you need sometimes a moment to enjoy the simple things of life?
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

I found in the inside seven products and now I wanna write you something about them!

Nuxe Nirvanesque: it's the first facial cream by Nuxe with "Botox Like" effect. Thanks to four floral active principles, it hydrates and smoothes down the skin having effect on expression wrinkles. With natural scent, it should me used day and night.
Equilibra color protector shampoo: with special plant complex Phytosinergia, it nourishes and helps to make hair stronger.
Equilibra against loss shampoo: it prevents hair loss and makes hair stronger it too.
Equilibra hair conditioner: like the shampoo, it has the special plant complex Phytosinergia. It makes hair softer and more easy to be brushed with its creamy texture, improving the flexibility.
Helan eye pencil: Medium soft texture for this elegant dark green eye pencil, with E vitamin and precious waxes, it's very long lasting. I already tried it and I'm very satisfied!
Elf shimmering facial whip: it's a shimmering gel that gives lot of brightness to skin without leaving the skin oiled. Take a nut of product and lay it on cheeks, eye and lip that gives an illuminated touch.

Look of the day: Life is a journey

Hello beauties
how was your week-end going? Hope very relaxing, here in my hometown rained for almost 48 hours :[
Few days ago I spent some days in Milano for work and I used, for the first time, my brand-new Desigual trolley. It's the perfect luggage to stay away from home for few days, it's big enough and spacious, and I like it so much!
I wore one of my favourite dress for the F/W by Manila Grace, in technical fabric, matched with an high-waist belt my Malloni, boot, Stefanel bags and my beloved Giulia Boccafogli new collection earrings.
I wanna remember you, just in case you didn't do it, that are only few days to sign the European petition to say Stop to Vivisection, a cruel and painful practice committed to poor animals in labs, simply here ... Give your voice to animals who don't have one!

Look of the day: Last Summer night

Hello lovelies
Fall is almost here with its cold weather and the sound of the creepy leaves under our feet, do you like this season?
Few days ago, when the sun was shining and everything was warm, I wore one of my favourite little white dress by one of the most talented Italian brand, Gazèl.
Gazèl garments are always so sophisticated, with a particular allure full of elegance and everlasting class... I recently saw the new F/W collection and believe me it's so classy and fascinating.
I matched this pure dress, with flowers embroidered on it, with a pair of midi-heels shoes in black and white color block by Roberto Della Croce, a simple lil' bag and Dior sunnies.
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Look of the day: Proud to be Italian

Hello beauties
loads of you already know that I'm Italian and today I wanna celebrate two of my favourite IT designers ever! I'm so happy and proud to be born in this country and I really hope that every of you could have chance one day in life to come here... To enjoy "bella vita", food, art, places that seem painted by a painter and our friendly culture!
Someone told me years ago "Fashion was born in Italy" and this sentence is totally true associated to Emilio Cavallini and Giulia Boccafogli.
Emilio Cavallini is the designer loved by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Tilda Swinton, Gisele Bundchen, Olivia Palermo, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Blake Lively and Alexa Chung to mention someone, and his breathtaking pieces were in Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, Teen Vogue worldwide editorials. He recently launched a capsule collection for Opening Ceremony with actress Chloe Sevigny, made of skirts, dresses and hosiery. I really like Cavallini's eternal pieces, touched by a charming beauty, characterized by sinuous shape, excellent fabrics and fascinating elegance.
Giulia, you know, I love her since ages, I wrote about her several times and every time my passion for her grow and today you can see with your eyes the perfection of her totally handmade pieces.

Look of the day: Missoni fashion show

Hello lovelies
during past Milano fashion week one of my biggest dream come true. Since I was child I dreamt over Missoni ADV campaign and over their zigzag dresses and this year I had the chance to attend their catwalk at the Fabbrica del Vapore <3 I was super happy... No no not super, much more! 
So I wanna completely dedicate this post to Missoni with some ( few in reality! ) pics of the catwalk, my outfit and people outside the show :)
The new S/S 2014 collection has a strong ethnic touch and was thought for a woman who loves to travel phisically and mentally, such as Angela Missoni said. The prints were the legendary Missoni geometric ones, with a huge number of the iconic knitwears in the show, but also some Japanese pop ones, with a large use of fringes. The palette of colors was composed by violet, orange, turquoise, blue and black and white color block.
Special mention to the shoes that were the typical Summer sandals, with high and low heels and embellished with metal knots and colorful bands.

Look of the day: Embrace your inner light

Hello lovelies

after showing you some events that took places in Milano for the fashion week, today I wanna share with you another outfit that I wore during the project with Canon "Get the look with Canon" where, as one of their official bloggers, I made styling for some girls who joined the contest!

As a Desigual obsessed like I am, I wore a brand-new dress from the F/W collection, that I really like because is a modern reinterpretation of the classic LBD. In blue, it has colorful circles, women shapes and a white flower that give a strong visual impact to the dress.

I matched it with a preview of the funny Biribag, the new coming IBirikini bag, that will be sold in shops from March 2014, and with my super beloved El Rinconcito de Zivi earrings that are totally handmade with paper! 

Can you believe that sweet Zivi has created those beauties from paper?! She is so talented, here you can see the other pair I get from her and I highly recommend you to take a look at her amazing stuffs also on DaWanda here!

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