#AtypicalPlaces with Desigual

One evening in August and a gallant date. The sun prepares to set, the light soul and a gust of wind that moves the hair, pulled back into a high ponytail, and emanating floral notes to my every step. A trail that can tickle all the strings of a human being, like a sweet melody that comes out of slender hands, gracefully, skim harp, line after line.
A modern city, decided by the characters, which is preparing to rejoice in the happiest hours. Elegant and refined, like Desigual dress that I wear for the occasion, decorated with many romantic flowers black & white.
Two souls meet, hands that touch and intertwine. A kiss and a smile.
A romantic dinner by candlelight, in one of my favorite restaurants, one of them with a breathtaking view made for dreaming.

In viaggio con ASUS Zenbook

A train and a plane to take. A new destination is waiting for me.
Travel as discovery, emotion, adventure, passion.
To leave is the most beautiful and courageous of all actions. Maybe a selfish joy, but a joy for who knows how to value freedom. Being alone, without needs, strangers, foreigners, and yet feel at home anywhere. I only need a suitcase to fill with stories, memories, and an ideal companion: my ASUS Zenbook, ready to collect my thoughts, my feelings, my photos, to keep me company during the entire trip. Light and thin, reliable and dynamic, load up to 10 hours, elegant and sophisticated design.
When I travel I like to be comfortable but not give up a touch of elegance, the same one that belongs to the ASUS Zen philosophy. A #ZenOutfit in preppy style with the shades of blue and red, like the sea and the sunsets that will surprise me once reached at destination.

Le colline e un cardigan rosso

The wind that shakes the barley, time passes slowly, confuses the past and transforms the present. The breath punctuated by the beating of the heart that winces for every wonder. The peace of a Sunday in the hills, in the silence of nature again in bloom. The colors of spring. The nostrils quivering sniffing the aromas. The thoughts that are lost, hill to hill, in the handful of curves, sinuous as the body of a woman, and then dive and rid into the blue sky. The feeling of being good in your own skin. A communion between earth and soul.

The view is lost on red roses, fiery passion, as voluptuous lips full of desire. Eyes bounce to the sky, a boundless blue, framed by an aura of silver light. The cherry trees are in bloom, dyed of a pure pink as the skin of a child. Meadows of a green so intense, like precious emeralds, to speak for itself without hope of passing from similarities. A gentle sun, with its warm rays, hugs and warms you only how would be the arms of your beloved. It smiles to you, transmitting you its own happiness. And you spare parts that smile with the same happiness.

Come un soffione

I would really like the "OFF" button to turn off the brain. But seriously. I do not say always, but sometimes, it would be great. It would benefit all of us. As when I silent my smartphone. But no, it talks and talks, and think, think. Shut up! Sometimes it's worse than a boring and grouchy boyfriend.

If I had to portray the thoughts that I have on my mind, they would have the shape of a head. Fireworks, indeed a real fireworks show, which takes the principle from the center, it branches to the star and get light on the balls, stroking the surrounding air.

As the heads, would be enough to blow over, to certain thoughts, which are colored and inflamed, to let them disperse here and there. Light, as if they were bubble blower.

Princess goes to the country

 
"It is not easy to walk alone in the countryside, without meditating on something." C. Dickens

We always run away from something. Even if escape is never the answer to our problems.
 Sometimes I am pervaded by the desire to escape from the city, from its noises, its hectic and stressful life, to hole up for a few hours in the hills or in the country, to listen in silence interrupted only the sounds of nature. That silence, broken by the roar in the background of a stream or by the chirping of birds, in which the brain is free to roam to the best shores.
That place where you breathe again, savoring every "step" of that complex biochemical process. Feeling the air entering the body, nourishing cells and tissues, to cross it completely. Stopping to hear those beats punctuated by heart that sometimes is felt "strongly" to remind us that, after all, is always there with us. Even when we forget it.
Nature always is the cure, with her calming effect. A peace for the senses and the soul.
 The simplicity of small things is the cure for all evil, seize them in all their beauty and know how to appreciate it helps us to measure everything biggest that can happen.

Romantic holidays

 
"Where are you going, miss?" -he said- "Let's go see the sea?"
Her eyes, at the mention of what has always been her great love, the sea, lit up with a light so intense that it was day.
After coasting along the entire coast, with the wind that fluttering the scarf on that warm July and distributed her smiles to everyone who passed, the car stopped at the destination.
 He got out first and, like a true gentleman, opened the door. Red ballerinas sprouted from the black Cadillac and with small graceful steps, she appeared, romantic and graceful in those shorts that showed the waist. They walked along the harbor, exchanging smiles and sweet words, then sat down on a bench to watch the sunset. He hugged her gently and she, in that warm embrace in which she dropped, looked at the sea, through her black sunglasses, sighed and thought, "I'll be back at midnight, like Cinderella, to where I'm processed, and it will be the end of a fairy tale". Or just the beginning.

L'intramontabile trench

All wear it, but few know the origins and history of its birth. Who I'm talking about?

The trench! Who does not have a trench raise the hand and be ashamed at least a little ;)

The trench coat was born in 1901 on the battlefields to live on the catwalk and become a must-have in the wardrobe for men and women. Before we wore only between one season and the other, it has now become the base item to hang out with, without any other.

To make it famous in the female closet is the fascinating Greta Garbo in the film Destino, in 1928, becoming a must-have for any woman with style.

It was worn in fact, on the big screen and not only, by many stars like Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe and Katherine Hepburn.

A passe par tout item for the day and the evening, depending on how you wear it: an elegant suit, a trousers, a skirt -better a pencil-, but also an evening dress.

For my afternoon formal, but not too much, I decided to combine it with a pair of blue pants with a white and blue striped shirt, a colorful scarf and red geranium shoes in contrast. What do you think?

Business Break

Ever since I was a child I always had a fixation for the "career". I always said I would become one of those women of power, maybe the manager of a multinational company or a lawyer super stylish in stilettos (red sole of course) from a judgment to another.

However, there is always a but, the toga and the briefcase 24h have never been in my DNA, which has always preferred the white coat since primary schools. So, as in the lab has never seen a biologist in white coat, heels and Louis Vuitton to the arm, I'm happy to do the business woman blogger lunch break ;)

Another day. Another choice. Another coat.

 
That life is made of choices is known to all, and in this there is nothing revolutionary or special. We are forced to make choices every day, since we are small. Some consciously, others unconsciously. We spend most of our time to choose. From when we wake up, we are constantly faced with the crossroads, having to choose between the usual breakfast biscuits or Galletti, with those grains of sugar that, soaked in milk, become irresistible. In front of the wardrobe, in the eternal indecision of that secular phrase, "What do I wear?". And then lipstick, red or pink? The perfume, handbag etc. And these are all crap.
Yet we are subject to this continuous cycle of changes that life offers us and we have to face.
We make sure that life turns around to our needs and we get angry every time someone decides for us forcing choices that we do not share.
All the choices that we do not take,  determine a turning point in our lives. But if we could follow people that we were not? If we could tag along them, and then above all listen, talk together, invite them to dinner, what would really happen?
Choose is not only bound to figure out what we need and make sure to get it, it is also, and above all, linked to the fact to understand and choose the people we want to be and who we want to become.
It's only when you know what you want that you do not take everything that passes. So then life upsets you the plans the same.

Coat as a dress

I hate the fog, perhaps most of the rain. And even more I hate photos when THERE IS fog, my hair becomes worse than a scarecrow (no kidding). Consequently, for a SUPER MEGA OBSESSED by perfect canopy, like me, it touch the tragedy mixed despair, mixed cosmic hysteria.

However, fog or no fog the world goes on even in those days, and I can not always "refuse" to leave the house. So when duty calls, a nice coat, worn as a dress, gives me all the warmth and comfort that I need. Or almost. Although the alternative of staying at home, warmth with perfect hair, is always the best! ;) 

Fur & Denim

These are not my best photos. Definitely NO.

I see me like a whale, with a full moon instead of the face. The libra marks always the same number.

I seem too angry and instead when I took these pictures I was cheerful.

But there's one thing I like: the outfit. What I really like, simple but with that something extra.

There are several ways to wear fur, for the day I prefer to wear it with jeans and heels, in this case not too high, for a casual and glam outfit at the same time.

And you? What do you think?

Max Mara coat

A camel coat, as the trends of the season want, with a midi skirt and the new Ray-Ban aviator I showed you here.

Ready to get on that plane, with unknown destination, with a sophisticated look and a bit retro fashion cadet.

October, 19

An autumn walk on a soft blanket of dry leaves.
The smell of roasted chestnuts and a sudden desire for Christmas, red and a chalet in the mountains.
A "Witch" hat (Halloween is approaching :P) and a warm vests in Mongolian fur.
A pair of jeans and a white shirt.
And then, the bag that every woman should have in their collection of bags: the famous Louis Vuitton speedy. What if you still do not know, the trunk bag is the must have bag for this fall (I'll get better in a week, however, take note).
And one more a quote, hoping it will be one of those true:
Do not confuse your path with your destination. Just because it is stormy now does not mean that you are not directed toward the sun.

A new Tartan

From Scotland with love, tartan, famous plaid fabric, confirms itself the star of the season, mixing and reinventing itself with new trends. 

And if fashion wants all us in the beautiful and mysterious Scotland, we just have to leave...oops... to play! 

Not to give into the mix, now granted, tartan-animalier, I decided to match my tartan dress with two trendy colors of this season: the red sangria and the famous burgundy. 

What do you think?

INSTA-PRINCESS #60

Green dress

A little green dress, whose shades will still be trendy this fall/winter, and the Violavinca coral pumps. 

A meeting between the marine and terrestrial world's. Coral and crystal clear waters meet with green and blooming lawns. 

When fashion does miracles....Just to feel a little mermaid (unfortunately, in the closet of Fashion Princess appeal lacks a maxi green dress, but I'm gearing up;)) or a fairy of the woods! Of course, in modern times;)

Gonna di pelle e camicia di jeans

A black leather skirt, a denim shirt and a pair of sneakers for a comfortable, not too hot, Saturday afternoon. 

After a long autumn as leather garments have accompanied us as a "second skin" during our days, the leather skirt is a timeless and chief probably, in spite of the heat, remained one of the trends this summer. 

For me, the best match is the one with the denim shirt, a winning combination! 

Jeans and leather go to a wedding! Do not you find? 

And what do you do? Forsake the skin in your wardrobe until next fall or challenge each other warm?

Caramel

"Good, come out naked! And then you get sick!" These are the words of my mother when, in the evening, after taking these photos I went to her (prepared) with my Bambi eyes, saying "mamiiiiii... it hurts my throat".

Her answer was quite obvious, but it goes well..you know, if you want to look beautiful must suffer a little! 

But it was worth it right? I love this outfit!

The red skirt

If I asked you what you did on S.Stephen, do you remember? Yes, that's December 26th! 

Quiet, I'm not crazy and not willing to make you an interrogation ;) 

That afternoon, in a break from the endless lunches and dinners (thank goodness that it takes at least 8 months before repeating them :P), I was already thinking about spring and renew the wardrobe by shopping at Zalando. 

Exaggerated? Maybe! 

Finally then, after a few months, last week I was able to show off both the jacket and the skirt, matching them with a pair of sneakers to make the outfit less elegant and obvious.

What do you think? Waiting for your comments!

Flats 1 - Hells 0

And then you wake up one day and the impossible happens, I would not say a miracle, but something really weird. 

I wake up and the first words that I speak are "no heels today!" 

Imagine the astonishment of my mother feeling utter those words from one who, if she could, would go to sleep with the heel 12! 

Yes, a look with the usual chic soul but with the flats, gold like the rest of the details. 

Strange but true it did not even snowing ;)
