Shirt dress

Today I am in my shirt dress : simple, classic, comfortable!

Once again I couldn't resist to have something only mine and so, I shorten the sleeves and added the flowers ...

Then I wore  a rope belt 

(which, if you carefully look at the picture, matches to the handles of my O Bag )

Here I am!

Don't you think that a shirt dress is absolutely perfect in summer?

While I was walking in the morning to avoid too high temperatures, 

I came across this beautiful gazebo.

Probably it was placed in the square for an  exhibition .

Of course, a well trained blogger's eye can recognize at first sight a photogenic place!!

:-)

I have some more shirt dresses  in my closet.

They seem to be O.k. this year here!

 

The perfect shape of understatement ...

(from an Italian magazine )

My look at the seaside

Some days at the seaside made me feeling  in the mood for wearing bright colours. So, when I saw the dress in a shop, bought it right away!

The price was very good and the fabric  made it  perfect in hot days 

( the little holes allow the pass of the air )

I matched it to coral colour 

which is one of my favourite combination at the moment.

Then  bought a  nail polish in the same shade of my earrings and lipstick

for a very holiday look!

At my home in the  Ligurian hinterland I keep some accessories which can come in handy during the vacations . 

Since  when I arrive I have been not wearing them for a long time, I feel as I were just back from a day of shopping!

In fact both the sandals and the bag are not new, nevertheless I couldn't wait to wear them!

Here you can see the whole ensemble! I probably won't wear the dress when I will be back in the city because it is too short, but here no one seems to notice its length!

The only problem, as ever when I am at the seaside, is my hair! 

 Not a big problem in any case, some days of full relax, and then I will take care of it.

 Not now,  not today ...

Some rest

Everyone has his favourite time for some summer rest. For me it is in July : the month is not as hot as August, and I have a lot of time before going back to work. Together they are the perfect ingredients to enjoy  spare time!

I like going to the  city of Cuneo which is not too far from where I live . It's a nice city.

Besides, there is at least a very good reason for a brief visit.

Are you wondering what it is? Well, my answer is...because there I can enjoy what I call my "perfect breakfast" !

Do you have a perfect breakfast?

Mine takes place in  pastries. 

( you can imagine what kind of breakfast I am thinking of ... not the proper one when you are on a diet!  )

In Cuneo, when I have the time, I don't miss the pleasure of a sweet break!! 

 When I was there, the other day, I decided for a walk. This is a very tidy city. And the inhabitants always find the way to make it really cozy and hospitable!

(Those chairs were so beautifully placed that I didn't dare sit on them! )

I found funny decorations in some streets

( Another touch of local creativeness ) 

At the end of the tour, I felt ready for my breakfast. But the worst disappointment was around the corner : my favourite pastres, where they sell the most delicious kind of chocolate pastry, was closed.  

They were on holidays.

Of course it was a pity, but I could have my breakfast in a different place.

I hope that you too are enjoying the summer!

( In any case I will go again, just to glance ... maybe they will be back from holidays ... )
