A dear garden...


MAX-MARA group

Hello! A hot, summer afternoon here  and , despite the heat, I have decided to wear a shirt ( which for me is one of the most unconfortable things to wear in summer! ).  It's a linen, turquoise one with a ribbon to tie on the front. Since the shirt has no sleeves it is bearable! I have also  a silk, grey skirt on. 

                       

Today my sister has come to see me and we have decided to walk and reach a dear place to take some photos...

           

There, a lady has helped  to show my neckace

           

The place in 1700 was  a manor house surrounded by orchards. Recently it was restored and around the garden ( which in part is a courtyard ) overlook some apartments.

                         



It is a special, dear, place to me because my parents live there,


and  my mother spends most of her time in the garden...

  1. Beautiful on many levels. The bright blouse with your grey silk is a lovely and vibrant contrast. The tie on the blouse shows your figure beautifully. Plus to live in such history, the oldest building in my area was built in the 1890's. Looks like your parent live in wonderful place with garden that would be a delight to tend.

    1. Minnesota must be a wonderful country as your photos reveal, but so different from Italy. I like also modern architecture, and all the buildings you share in your blog.

  2. Dan the place looks beautiful and full of charm. If your parents also live there, sure you still like more.
    Ancient gardens with stone statues seem always a nice place.
    Your blouse is very pretty.
    It is true that they warm, but I feel great and combines great with gray silk skirt.
    You look beautiful.
    Kisses

    1. I am glad that you like the place, in hot days it is fresh and quiet.
      I usually wear dresses because I find them more confortable than shirts and skirts.But my blouse has a summer colour which I like...

  8. Lucky parents... What a beautiful place.
    And you look lovely too. That shirt might be less comfortable than a T-shirt, but is looks so elegant. Very nicely combined with that pretty silk skirt.

  10. Such a peacefully beautiful garden - it's no wonder your dear mom spends much of her time outside in it. I'd really want to do the same if I had a garden even a fraction as lovely (we live in a condo and don't have a backyard - I miss having one, it's been many years since my last).

    Your outfit is wonderfully sophisticated and beautiful. I just adore that shade of vibrant turquoise blue. It's one of the happiest colours in the world to my mind.

    Wishing you a gorgeous Monday & week ahead, sweet lady!
    ♥ Jessica

  11. Hi Jessica, I live in a condo too, so no garden for me. I would like to have a terrace!
