ONCE UPON A TIME

Even if I could seem a granny I wanna talk about cartoons on air when I was a child. I started thinking on it last night while I was going back home after dining with my sister. She was singing Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” theme. She was Belle and I had to complete the song with the Beast parts (older sisters are always arrogant!). It has been shocking how, after so many years, we still remember the whole lyric, surely because we saw it thousand times. Once Disney used to produce not simply cartoons, but real pieces of art. Plots, sketches, dialogues and song were make to be forever and to remain in children’s heads at least for a year, when the new cartoon was out. However, they were so awesome that are in our heads for the whole life. Cartoons like “The Lion King”, “Aladdin”, “Hercules”, I saw them so many time to wear out the tape, and I was never bored to watch them. They were totally different one with the other to be unique was essential. I am not still talking how gorgeous were for us, little girls, the Princesses. Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Aurora were our idol, always beautiful, kind and elegant. Their clothes were a dream (the name of my blog come from it) that all of us were looking for Carnival, and what about their amazing boyfriends? Always awesome and rich (that Princesses were not stupid at all!). Now that cartoons don’t exist anymore (here it is the granny!), there are just business production, made for earn as much possible and them be lost after few months. Love story now are amongst monsters, worriers or aliens. All the same and that magic has disappeared. That’s why I stopped and I thought how lucky I am, even if old, I’ve been a child when cartoons were the most beautiful, that will be with me for the rest of my life.

In the pics my second outfit in Rome, that I wore for a truly important meeting. How amazing is this city?

COLORED COAT: SEASON MUST HAVE

Colored coat, both bright and pastel shades, are no doubt this autumn/winter trend, and I sincerely I found them awesome. They are able to make you shine, and independently of the rest of your outfit, you’ll look super fashion. There are anyway combinations that I love more and few secrets that will make you gorgeous with your new coat. Firstly you have to dose the colour: if you have a colored coat play with contrasts. In my case I wear a strong pink coat so I opted for a neutral colour outfit. A dark colour outfit would have been great too, with colours like black or dark blue, pastel colours are forbidden (it’s autumn by the way). Your choice: or a big contrast with two strong colours or white and grey shades, to give to your coat a leading role. Rule number two: if you have a coat like mine try to play it down. Particularly if it’s pink try to make it less sweet with rock/chic details, I opted for boots, bag and bracelets all studded. In the case you feel romantic you can wear it with colored flats. The contrast with high heels black booties or studded décolleté like Laboutin. The bag. I like playing with the shades: for example I wear a strong pink coat and I match it with a light pink bag, if your coat it’s dark blue a Tiffany colour bag it’s the perfect match, with a bright green a mint colour bag. Another choice it’s to match a strong colour with a strong colour and a light with a light one. For the make up warm colours are  the top for during all the autumn and will let your coat burst out all his colour and bright. Talking about hairstyle I hope you’ll be more lucky than me, that during raining days I can just wear a chignon to avoid the cat lady frizzy hair effect! Following just these few devices you’ll be wonderful and you’ll obtain a perfect runway look.
