Underground Tale

When the perfect life, perfect does not seem.. When the trappings, the attention to detail, tired .. When certainties that seem solid, flake, crumble, lose consistency, importance.. We take refuge in a parallel world to measure us although the truth is that, in the life of every day there are no castles, but skyscrapers, palaces. The palace is a sprawling city, the secret are actually underground subways.
In all those experiences in which our being is pushed to the limit of potential, and in addition, in those cases we understand that there is no detail goes overlooked, neglected. I speak not of the usual accessories, but all that is living.
In the everyday hectic passing we often lose awareness of what really matters, what really needs to be preserved, guarded.. Our happiness, our security, our person.

Alsteca sunglasses

21 grams is the weight that you lose when you die, they say that it is the weight of the soul. That light and impalpable feather remains between the here and now and the unknown, what will be once you cross that threshold. 21 grams is the weight of things done and those left open, the amount of breaths and sighs, the sum of all tears or smile, of every "if" and all "but". Of each door "open" or "slamming", of every love and every passion, every carelessness or distraction. 21 grams is the account of a life, sometimes lead, sometimes butterfly.

 21 grams, as the weight of a hummingbird, of a chocolate bar or five nickels one over the other. But what 21 grams are worth? And why 21? If it was a smaller number?

Can it save the result of so much wonder in something even lighter?

16 grams is the weight, not of my soul, but the new Alsteca sunglasses. The beautiful country has yet been able to surprise us, giving us another marvel!

The low weight would think of a weakness inherent in the product, but in the era of the technological advent "special effects" were not long to coming. The secret of these sunglasses, in fact, lies in polycarbonate, a material capable of high flexibility, innate strength and fracture toughness.

Un amore tra le nuvole

We travel for many reasons, for infinite interests, to work, to expand our knowledge, to find oneself, to find a contact with nature, with people. We travel for love, to be free, to live.
Everyone traveling in their own way and according to their possibilities, the important thing is to have the spirit to move, learn and discover. For some travel is a necessity, a desire that comes from the soul to be able to go to places you desire and discover new horizons.
"But the real travelers start to leave and just: hearts light, like balloons that only the case moves eternally, they always say "Let's go", and do not know why. Their desires are in the shape of the clouds."
I love traveling and this is well known, but may not know how I'm in love with planes and airports. I could spend hours and hours, lying on a grass, watching the white streak of a plane cut high in the blue sky, dreaming of being up there in the clouds of desires, live in some kind of latitude, meridian, parallel of this planet.
Airports are places of meetings of flying objects, that make you closer to the sky, always the goal of man. A meeting place for different people, people of all nationalities, cultures and religions, people everywhere. People leave and people arriving. People greet family and friends. People leaving for a long period or forever. People arriving for the first time in a place unknown to them.
The airport is full of life, of coming and going, full of happiness and sadness. The airport is one of those places where I would spend the days, so even without starting, just to watch the people, imagine their state, and to watch the planes ready for take-off, with the roll of engines that makes me so mad .
The airport is a mingling of travelers and dreamers, my place. In the airport you are already in the sky even before boarding the plane.

Bond Girl

A call in the middle of a yoga class. A new top secret mission.
A summer suit, a thin layer of red lipstick and big Yves Saint Laurent sunglasses.
A plane from New York to Los Angeles and a car ready to run away.
A birthday party, Ron's, Mexican businessman who, as they say in Italy, "played with fire too."
15.000 guests, all gathered in the garden of his villa, but among them are hidden infiltrators determined to make the poor Ron dancing to the sound of maracas.
Just missing him and the mission can begin. Bond, James Bond.

Cocorose Ballerinas

Spring brings with it, along with colorful jackets and pretty dresses, one of the most classic women shoes: the ballerina. Pretty, versatile, comfortable (?) and chic, for several years has established itself as a must-have ALMOST for all.
I say "almost" because the ballerinas, or you love it or you hate it. They are often accused of failure to femininity, but what is it? As it's true for many items and accessories, just know how to match and can be really very bon ton, especially if enriched with "precious" details as my Cocorose!
I admit, I hardly go down from the top of the heel 12, but sometimes I am forced to do it, especially if I wear a miniskirt.
As you will understand (I hope), I'm a lover of elegance ergo one that NOT approve the combination miniskirt (I speak of those mini mini) + heel 12. So those rare times when I decide to wear a skirt above the knee, the choice regarding the shoes, inevitably falls on the ballerinas and their elegance of yesteryear. The times of sobriety and simplicity, those of Audrey (Hepburn) to speak.
And you? Which school of thought you belong? Ballerinas yes or no? Vote! ;)

Volevo fare la (rock?)STAR

From when we cross the threshold of the kindergarten, all cute with pigtails, the apron and the backpack, how likely a child begins to understand something of this unknown life that will change 100 million times, we are bombarded, for years and years and years, from that awkward, boring and banal question: "What do you want to be?"
"But what do I know, let me play!" I think this is the true sentence that dwells in the tiny brain of a child of 5-6 years, hidden from the answer of what will probably be the job of the month, or period of the week.
When I was little I wanted to be a singer, as well as a Princess of course, then I changed my mind and I wanted to be an astronaut. Can you imagine someone like me to float in a spaceship? I do not!
For a time I also wanted to be a veterinarian, I have always loved animals (reptiles and insects excluded).
Going in elementary school came the mania of the dancer, I wanted to get to dance at La Scala in Milan, recurring dream for all girls who wear a pink tutu. And so, off to take classes in ballet and modern dance until almost 18 years.
Growing up obviously the ideas were not yet clear. For a time I wanted to become even dentist.
Then the streets were fortunately only 3: 1) stylist 2) doctor (most of all) 3) hostess. All I have to say very interrelated ;) Great Desi, you have clear ideas. Now I have already 25 years old, still do not know exactly what I want to do when I grow. Try to ask me!
What do you do when you grow Desi?
The answer is always the same: TRAVEL!
Yes travel, the only certainty that I have!
Perhaps, at this point, I should really become a hostess..

La tela dell'anima

Feelings and emotions are an integral part of human intelligence.

We are like impressionist painters intent to transfer emotions on a canvas, the canvas of our souls. We paint smells, fears, feelings, people...memories.

We are the artists of our lives.

In the framework can be described all the sensations that a writer can tell through words.

A canvas that contains colors launches emotions, unleashing a storm in the soul of the observer of feelings and memories. Why we are so, souls in the swing on a land of memories.

Green leopard shoes

Green and animalier. A perfect combination that embodies what are the trends of this fall. The green and its shades (here), for what concerns the trendy colors according to pantone, and animalier shoes (I talked about it here). 

If the shoes are Alberto Bressan spotted with shades of green, I made the center! In fact I own, as they say, two birds with one stone;) 

What do you think? Do you like this secretary/lawyer outfit?

Pencil skirt & Borsalino hat

The pencil skirt is always a classic bon ton, as well as a symbol of femininity. 

Caresses and enhances our forms without exceeding in the vulgarity. 

A true timeless classic but super versatile. Impossible not to have one in the closet! 

As you know I was at the Fashion Week in Milan and one of the outfits prepared but not worn (I still wonder why), provided for the pencil skirt with a lace corset, a big hat to create a bit of mystery and finish coat on shoulders. All strictly black! 

Needless to say that I love (in all languages) the result ;) 

And you? Do you like it?

PEARL JEANS

A shower of pearls has dropped to bring fresh air, along with shoes and elegant details. For a casual look, but also very bon ton.
These are the ingredients of a Monday afternoon, what do you think of my looks?
Waiting for your comments :)

New Year's Eve: SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND

Hello and Happy New Year!

So how did you spend the night more "sparkle" of the year? Did you have fun?

I do a lot, I organized a party at home with friends and then we went to the disco to dance all the night.

For the occasion, I could not SHINE and I wore a white dress with sequins all over and a touch more "aggressive" I decided to go with it shoes leopard pony.

What do you think?

Waiting for your comments and I still wish you all the best for a happy 2013!
