Resting in the sitting room

 I am just back from work, and I am going to enjoy a quiet afternoon at home

I will sit on my sofa and switch on the tv ( always have a look at catwalks ), my pc (to surf on the net ) and my tab ( to hear if a comment arrives!)

Now I have my first problem to solve...The colour of my pants isn't red, neither pink or orange...

How do you call it in English? In Italian we say malva colour...

...in any case, I find it delightful! It goes welll with blue,

but also with creamy hues.

I wanted to match it with a similar shade necklace...so, here it is! Made last week!

My earrings aren't the same colour, but I love them because

I bought  in my honeymoon in Paris about 27 years ago ( how time flies!! ) and have recently found them back in a drawer!

I started the post saying that I was going to spend a relaxing afternoon at home

and, ad far as I can see, 

another guy has  just had the same idea... ( don't worry, old Bangio is o.k. he is just planning something very important to do tomorrow! )

Sales...

 A winter, cloudy day, and I need some colours to bright up my morning. Luckily, sales have recently brought into my closet a cardigan ( Max Mara ),  yellow, this time, and a pair of slim fitted pants ( Max Mara ). Did I need them?

the answer for me is YES. ( If it makes feel me good and helps economy... why not?! )

In any case, nothing new over here! 

This is the cafe' where I have just taken my photos, in the quiet room upstairs

which overlooks the city. Everything looks so gray outside...

...but I need just two spare hours to have a quick look around...

...and think I made an unmissable bargain!!

Vintage details...

I had some time last week, so I spent an afternoon combining clothes together. I like doing it and besides, if I do, I find it easier in the morning get ready quickly.

Since I am a shopping addicted, in my closet I can find almost everything.Also a vintage bag which I didn't remember to have!

A vintage bag is a little tresure! So I needed to  find another vintage accessory to match it!

And, of course I find something in my closet! This bracelet is a present my sister gave me last year

I don't often buy vintage, but  in a flea market you can happen to find something really cute

Which is worth buying...

And here comes the last part of my story...last Saturday, while I was in the city, I saw this pair of earrings (vintage again ). I couldn't miss them because  they would be perfect with my bag and bracelet!

And here I am, wearing my new treasure...isn't it easy to be happy??

I hope you too had a nice week ...

New purchases and old ones

Making a post is sometimes a quite hard task for me, since it requires three things that aren't too easy to put together

First of all I choose a  location, which can be a nice background for the photos ( and I must say that I like old houses which have a delicate elegance )

Then I wear something which makes me feel confident with

Today it is my Max Mara coat ( I know, I know, you  have already seen it ) and pants ( not new,  but I think I haven't still posted them! )

Of course I don't buy new clothes or accessories for each post!

And there are hundreds of ways to mix and match items...

... if I have, I wear something new ( like this bracelet,

and my pair of earrings ).

Accessories can add a special touch to an outfit! Now my post is ready!

SENSE CORBATA.../NO TIE...

Today I want to dedicate my post  to Josep Maria, who has recently decided to stop posting (and whose blog, Sense corbata.../No tie..., I miss very much )

For the occasion I have decided to wear my little black dress, a red stone necklace which I made myself, a little cross body bag and my pair of Armani black booties.

Other blogger took the same decision...isn't that wonderful how the internet  can allow people to get in touch and create a net of posts dedicated to a dear person?

There is an extra accessory you can't see on my coffee table...well, that isn't exactly an accessory... but, don't you think that a drop of perfume can complete an outfit, telling a lot about the person who is wearing it?

Mine is Eau legere by Bottega Veneta...

and, since I am a curious person, I am wondering now what is yours!

In love with flowers!

Do you believe? We are in the middle of winter and I feel as if spring were coming!

But I am wearing one of my coldest coats

(Max&co.)

with my favourite booties !(Emporio Armani)

The solution, as usual, comes out of my closet

Where I can find almost everything, including a floral blouse  ( which I am wearing today with one of my wollen collars ) (Twin Set )

If only I think that American bloggers are under a thick layer of snow...

...brrr, I feel frozen!

(...better to put  again my coat on!!)

Today...art!

I have been celebrating for some days with relatives and friends, and, as that means also long lunches and dinners ( look at my waist, do you think my coat is a bit too tight today? )...

...I decided to have something different. So I went to town  and spend a morning visiting a museum

MAO is the Oriental Art Museum of Torino

For the occasion I put on my light colour dress ( Max Mara ) with a silk shirt         ( Seventy )

At my back you can see the Japanese garden which is just at the entrance of the museum

Isn't this face a real beauty?

The place is a XVIII century building

Which I find as wonderful as the museum 

I hope you will enjoy the visit just as I  did...visiting a museum has been my way to start the new year.

Happy 2014!!!
