Christmas week



It was a cold day last Sunday
 but I still had to buy the last presents and then take photos for the post
 so I made my way to the city with hopeful intentions 


But, in the craziness of Christmas time  things turned out to be different ...


So I got my photos at home 
( with bad light which of course  means bad photos )

Gattinoni 

I was wearing a long dress, the jacket  a warm coat 
and a pair of my booties. 


Plus a big pair of earrings 
( I am trying to make something like ... a D&G style ! )


I think that I have a lot to try yet, but they are lightweight and colourful.


I promise good photos next time ! 


BEST WISHES ...

    Hi,Fiona! Many thanks for your comment. For the earrings I got inspired by the 2013 D&G Summer collection:colourful and very Sicilian style!!

      I live in the North West of Italy next to the city of Turin but my father is from Sicily. It's a place that I know well ...

      I am surprised that you know Montalbano! I love the serie...I only wonder how they could translate Sicilian idioms...

    I've never seen Santas on motorcycles, Dan! I so hear what you're saying on taking photos inside, though. Those earrings are lovely, and how cute is that reindeer! xxx

      I spend a lot of time observing famous (or just beautiful) jewelry on the net or in real and then try to make it my way ... a relaxing way to spend spare time. I am glad that you like!

    I am with Suzanne.. the moose is adorable. And you are elegant as always. A very beautiful dress, with or without the jacket. Still adding the modern touch with your booties. Well done. The earrings are indeed resembling the D&G ones. I think yours are better, more stylish, less Caribbean. Which is better for winter. Is the dress black or green? Is the lace at the V-neck from the dress or are you wearing something lacy underneath?
    Merry Christmas to you and to V, my dear friend.

    I know what you mean about indoor photography Dan. I avoid it all costs and would even put up with windy or dull weather instead of the gloom of indoors! Your dress is really lovely, and I like your shoes too - it's a cute outfit. The Santa's on motorbikes is a great shot!
    Wishing you a wonderful Christmas x

      You must be a good photographer to get quality photos indoors, and I surely am not!! I should follow your habit and take pictures only in the open air...

      Best wishes to you Anna!
