Through the glass

Hi, dearest! Today I am not the subject of the post...

I want you to follow me and my assistant through Turin

Luisa Spagnoli

and have a look at the window shops with us

Marella

in search of  ideas for spring.

Max&co.

The new slim fit  trousers caught my attention as they make a modern look.

Patrizia Pepe

 And talking about modetn outfits, I noticed a golden pleated skirt matched to a jacket with red details and an oriental style print.

Gucci

It seems that we will see a lot of red  here!

( I should definitely add some red in my closet ... )

Marella

( Or this delightful black and white dress very my taste! )

Marella

Do you like getting inspirations by the shop windows?

p.s.

I hope you enjoyed the tour ...

Curls

Like many women with straight hair I love curls.

I think they add a feminine accent but I have always found it difficult to make them myself

and besides, they generally  last only a few hours on me...

But I think that now I have found the solution!

I bought a new curling whose name sounds like a promise!!

I want to inform you that this is not an advertisement. I simply desire to share something which solved my problem ( probably there are many other devices around that work as nicely as this one! )

Once I solved the  problem with hair, ( women often have  biiiiiig problems with hair!! ) the other day I could concentrate my attention on clothes and decided to wear a grey striped t-shirt and checked skirt ( both old and already posted )

which I brightened up with a colourful scarf 

(a gift from my friend Greetje )

Les copains

A grey jacket can give you a severe look, but not with a curly hairstyle ... I think I  will use often my new curling !

Matchy matchy

I missed last week's post

 

But I wasn't able to prepare one and, besides, the bad  weather and the many rainy days we recently had, didn't help !

In fact my idea was to share something I bought in the end of the season sales and I didn't want it was ruined by the rain!!

I love Armani's style for the discrete elegance of his pret a porter collections,

 for the perfect shapes and the sophisticated shades of colours

(well, I could add many other reasons of course )

When it stopped raining, I found a place which could be a background for the photos

Not in Turin this time, but in the small city where I live

I decided for a sweatshirt and a blue checked shirt underneath.

The shirt is nice but has got ribbons which I don't like when tied up in a bow, and so I often  leave untied...

If you are wondering what is the stuff that I am  wearing around my neck...here it is the answer:I made myself this scarf to match my shoes and bag !

you know, I am in a creative phase at the moment! 

More details on my next post ...

Happy S. Valentine's

Weekend by MM-Armani

Do you like my skirt and soft bag?

I have discovered neoprene fabric just recently and immediately felt in love with 

it...

Only a few fabrics can keep the shape this way!

Breil

While you are watching at my modern necklace, please, notice how relaxed I look : photography can lie so well!

We are having very low temperatures here

Aquascutum

And this is how I keep myself warm!

Quite a difference, isn't it?

... Now, look at my back ...

... I like how they prettify shop windows this time of the year ...

Happy ( late ) S. Valentine's day!

I wish you too spent a lovely day...

Post with effects!

Hi! A post with special effects today

just for fun

and to take a look at the world in a different way!

 

Faux colours to make a winter day look less gray.

In any case ... who can know which  is the real one ...

My old  bag is beautiful with or without  special effects!

Furla-Marella-Prada

By the way ... for those of you who are wondering what is the real colour of my outfit, here it is!

P.s.

Have you ever posted with special effects?

New and old

Les Copains

Let's start with the new : my coat.The end of the season is the best time for purchases, and  I could buy this piece for the third part od its initial price ... 

Short, checked, black and white, egg shape.

I have a fancy for checks!

And It goes with my brown trousers!

Max&co.-Marella

Then comes the old : can you believe that my sweater Is about ten years old?

It is.

Morellato

Old also my necklace. 

Pearls generally add a very classic accent , but this is not the case...

Coccinelle

Old also my bag, but quality items can last very long!

I took the photos at Eataly:a sort of supermarket which sells only selected food. You can also eat there, drink a beer or just a cup of coffee or taste  an ice-cream.

A last photo before I go ,  have ... good end of the season picks, girls!

( if you like )

Sooooo cold!

It had been a cold week here! 

And I had heard that  they were having bad weather in many parts of America too, included NYC.

The TV was transmitting pictures of streets covered with snow ...Brrrrr!

With low tempereratures, Saturday I was not in the mood of going to the city and preferred a lazy afternoon at home ( which also included taking photos ).

I could stay warm, enjoy some quiet hours and style the clothings  I would  have worn the following day.

 As you know, low temperatures don't help to be stylish! 

I took it easy and chose my accessories.

Silver, and copper are not bad together ...

 the  bag

Thick tights and  ( high heels ) shoes 

Marella

pink Tshirt underneath a (new )  sweatshirt. 

Green, with pale pink astract flowers. 

Tomorrow I will go out early, I promise!

Don't you feel that home is the best place to stay in  very cold days?
