TARTAN COAT AND A GOOD STORY

Tartan coat. In Milan the cold has arrived and here I am to wear the first coat of the season. This tartan coat is one of those “wrong” purchases. I bought it the last year in Rome, after a long time I was keeping watch over it, never buying it because I was not convinced at all. When I found it on sale I decided to buy it, because an extra coat is always useful. Later I have tried to match it with so many outfits, but it was always a failure. A few days ago, changing out my closet, I found it again and I took it in Milan with me, having a mind to wear it as everyday’s coat, going to the gym or at supermarket.

Two days ago I wore this outfit for a meeting and, being a cold morning, I haven’t any coat that matched. So I have tried my degraded tartan coat and…dahdah! As if by magic, the coat was perfect with the outfit, and it was also so much more stylish than I remember.

Now the coat, that from to be Cinderello has become a prince, has now the life it was worthing and it is considered a coat to wear in the best occasions. This good story has teached us that there is always a second chance in life and that women and fashion are so moody!

SANDALS SUMMER 2014 AND PINK PANTS

I am literally in love with these sandals. As you perfectly know sandals summer 2014 are these kind of slippers that we can buy everywhere, of any brand and in any store. My favorite one are my Marni sandals that I recently matched with leather leggings and transparent shirt. Those that you can see here are from Zara, I bought them in Rome few months ago, in times in which they were not already so trendy and this new mania was inn. I match them with a really casual outfit, perfect for those days in which we wanna show our style but even being comfy and relaxed. Pink pants are always from Zara and what attracted me was that they look so cushy. I think I will wear them a lot next summer. Next week, after this period that I was not feeling good, work in MIlan starts again. I really suffered those days doing not much. Many times, when you over work and you have no spare time, you desire a quite life, with no meetings and no responsibilities. Then, you realize that you are not able to stop working for a long. Work keeps your mind busy, it keeps you active and it gives you a boost to new goals. I think one of the most important things in the life is to fight for reaching a work that you love and makes you happy to wake up in the morning. After doing works that I hate, finally even I am making real something that I love, that gives me always more enthusiasm. I have to say that I am immensely happy.

ITALY HAS CHANGED, BUT ROME IS ROME

Happened to you to have to deal with someone that you can’t really suffer? I’m sure yes. The true is that I think to be a person with a nice nature. Obviously, I have thousand weaknesses, like everyone, but the true is that I do not show them to people that are not really near me. In the case I see someone once a month surely I do not show off the worst part of me, but I try to keep the conversation as much friendly and pleasant possible. Unluckily I found out it’s not like that for anyone. There are people that, even if they rarely meet you, do their best for madding their presence every time more revolting. That people that always have a dig at you, that talk vaguely referring things from your life. I do not understand this kind of person. Even because I do not understand which kind of advantage they take contradicting you all the time resulting only annoying. I know a couple of people like that.  You’ll suggest me: stop meeting them. They are part, we can say, of some relation that in the life are not a choice. Are that in-law relatives that you have to see once a month. I am sure what I am talking about, and that many of you will agree with me. So girls, how can we survive from this rapports that are forced by life and we wanna avoid? We have just to be outclass, emotionless and have pity for that people which goal in life is to bother you. Furthermore, what these poor people do not understand it’s that when we feel good with ourselves and what we do, no provocation in the world would hurt us, and poor figure are for those that spend their lives trying to irritate the others. That’s why girls I advice you to never return whose provoke you, ignoring them it’s better. In fact, you should feel pleased by them, everyone knows, envy is a great kind of admiration.

In the pics I show you the first of two days spent in the amazing Rome for few meetings. I have no words to describe the gorgeous city, that it’s a real treasure full of art and history. In any corner there is a masterpiece, it’s really a place that left you astonished for the disarming beauty. And, as you have seen on my INSTAGRAM profile, the food is delicious. Me and Save spent two lovely days, I hope to go there again soon.

BASKETBALL VEST, BE FEMININE WITH A NBA JERSEY

I know nothing about basketball and, before Save told me something about it, I didn’t know who Garnett was. For what I know now he is a really good player and this Basketball vest is from one of his past teams. It has been modified by using just the back part of the original jersey, creating a lovely waistcoat, nice to be worn both by men or women. It’s great for creating any kind of outfit, from a sporty (joggers, white tee and this waistcoat), to a rock one (skinny jeans, converse, tee and beanie or let you inspire by a totally rock’n roll look like this), from a feminine wearing high heels to a casual look. When I saw this waistcoat at Minimarket del Riciclo I was already craving for it. I thought that Dolce&Gabbana oxford shoes were the perfect match. So I created this outfit, that it’s a little bit different. I was looking for something comfy, feminine and fashion. I even wear my boyfriend jeans, a must have this season (if you don’t have them, go and buy one! Mine are from Zara) and a white shirt that it’s always cool. My advice it’s to try to play with a NBA jersey, obtaining a feminine result you’ll appear sexy as hell. I am sure that even your boyfriend will appreciate (but don’t cut his favorite vest for creating one similar to mine, or it will be a totally different story!). Today we are in Milan again for few meetings, and I haven’t decided yet what to wear cause it’s so cold. I hate it! In a bit of time any outfit will be sadly covered by a coat/parka. Uff!

FAUX FUR GILET AND LONG SKIRT

I really love faux fur gilet. I love generally faux fur. This is a cause really near to my heart. If I have to say what I really think, I will never be able to wear a real fur gilet. I saw many images of that poor animals grown in small cages in horrible conditions, that wait just for a slow and painful death. Terrible processes are used, to not ruin the fur that have to be sold. I am absolutely adverse to it, but I even can see how beautiful they are, that’s why since always I buy faux fur coats, that are really the same. Once they were absolutely awful, faux furs looked like death rats furs, they were impossible to wear. Nowadays faux furs are just alike to the real ones, and you save life and pain to many innocent animals. Anyway I wear one of my faux fur gilet for a working afternoon in Milan. It’s starting to be really cold and I am wearing it over a classic white shirt. I match it with a long skirt, Valentino rockstud flats and my “candy” Balenciaga bag. I love the result, because soft colors give a great contrast to a total black look. They create a nice rock look. You know how I love long skirts. I think this one it’s special thanks to the plissé. Long skirt are so feminine, perfect for everyone, and perfect when we feel not that perfect with our shape. They are able to hide legs defects. Beautiful and handy. Long skirt are officially my passion.
