Front door

While last time, I have been attracted by the view of flowery balconies,

today it is the turn of my front door...

a bit unusual, but XIXth century's buildings have entrances which quite  differ from those in  new buildings.

For the post I have brushed up clothes and accessories I already posted

( but in totally different outfits!!! )

and added four bracelets ( of wood, metal and gemstones ).

Nothing really new today. But, wait a minute...

... I made this pair of earrings a few days ago, hence they are totally new for you!!

So, long, new earrings to share! 

And, finally, please note the sign next to the front door. It advises, in latin, to be aware of the dog  

In fact someone is keeping an eye on my home:very dangerous to go ahead!!

:-)

Days off ...

National holiday in Italy, and having three days off, we decided for a weekend to the seaside

The weather was fine and some people were having a swim

For me just sunbathing as I am waiting for warmer water... which means at least the end of June!

So, with plenty of time, I lifted up my eyes and admired the varity of the balconies

beautifully enriched with flowers

of different kind...

I walked through the city on block heels

wearing a new pair of earrings ( husband's present from Expo )

Awaiting to show a tanned skin soon!!

:-)

Denim and uniforms

Les Copains

A casual look for me today. Denim never goes out of fashion!

My black bag

and a pair among my favourite shoes.

A nice morning in the city for a coffee sitting in the open air where I can see peole passing by ... ( which is something I really enjoy )

Men in uniform always attract my attention and their elegance never is out of fashion too!

They are very kind  in Italy, and ready to help!

These last two are wearing traditional uniforms not in use anymore. ( what a pity I wasn't fast enough to shoot them at the front ... )

Back to my dress ... and a little secret ... 

... It is sleeves now, but wasn't when I bought it!

For me fashion is born to be personalized!!!

:-)

My nest ...

Hi! 

Probably I have already told you that I am a fan of design furniture , in any case, today I want to dedicate my post to ... my armchair!

(Yes, you have read well )

Of course for me is very special...

 When I want to comfortably relax after a day at work or enjoy an evening at home and surfing on the net ( I have a lot to do with my blog!! )

it can be a chaise-longue!

When I happen to have a guest ...

It becomes a real, comfortable bed!

If you consider the fact that my home  isn't as big as an  old castle, you can get why I have bought an armchair which just takes a small place, and can have extra uses !

Vanity by FUTURA

My armchair is my soft, warm nest! 

Have you got a place that you specially like,  at home?

I have been working hard!

At last my clothes are neatly hung into my wardrobe  again and I can find (almost ) everything.  I also found things I have been looking for long!

Armani-Marella

Surely, those of you who have recently moved house know what I mean:

Boxes everywhere and and a lot to do!!

to say nothing of the help I had to provide to the bricklayers in order to have the flat ready for the day...

But now that the worst has gone, I can slowly go back to my habits!

The Bridge

And you can't imagine how glad I feel for that!

Old Mr. Bangio,  had  very stressful days too in seeing  all that  mess around

but now he has realized that, whatever the house, there always  is a little place for him  by me ...

What can two friends share?

SHARE ...is the first word which comes to my  mind

When I think about the four days I have just spent with Greetje

( of No Fear of Fashion )

who came to Turin 

We shared the sun and pleasant Spring in the city, eating in  the open air 

We chatted sharing thoughts and feelings.

Of course we also had  nice days of  shopping together!!

We found and tried  dresses, and shared our passion for fashion.

We  laughted and had fun, as only old friends can do!

( This post is dedicated to her... )

Found!

It has been a fortnight full of emotions for me, and they haven't  always been pleasant ones...

As many of you remember I have sold the flat were I live 

but now, at last, I have found one with the sight over the old roofs that I was looking for ...

And, do you know what does follow a dream mean??

A lot of extra work and worries!!

By the way, have you noticed what I have in my left hand?

I have made up my mind and bought a pair of short sight glasses!

Here it is on me :

now I can catch all the beauty around  and, I feel ... I am ready for new emotions!!
