Shades of blue

We are made of thoughts, memories, emotions. We are made of water, atoms, moments and waited.

We are made of love. Thoughts, actions, ideas, movements, experiences. Bodies. The subject is love. We are made of intertwined hands, whispered kisses, stolen breaths and sighs donated.

We are made of desires and dreams that make us not sleep, of energy, of stardust.

We are made of words, words never said, of missed opportunities and unsent messages.

We are made of too many "if", "maybe" and "but." We are made for a few people. And often, we do not meet or we meet when it's too late.

We are made in the image and likeness of everything around us and in ourselves we enclose the exact same secret, the exact same law.

We are like the sky, made of millions of hues. Eternally changing, subject to endless complications and combinations. A set of circumstances, or totally fortuitous or planned in the minimum terms. A well-designed chaos. The perfect storm.

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.

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?

Spring time

"A day without laughter is a day wasted" so said Sir Charlie Chaplin.

Give me some tulips and I will be the happiest and smiling person in the world, I might add.

Did you know that tulips represent true love and for a declaration of love should give a bouquet of red tulips (perhaps with a Luca Barra jewel).

Although many are convinced that the flower that symbolizes love is the rose that is not entirely true: the true symbol of perfect love, honest one, eternal, selfless, and I would add also rare, is the tulip, at least according to what that the ancient legends and popular literature passed us.

The name "tulip" comes from turkish "tullband" headdress, turban, probably because of the characteristic of this lovely flower.

According to an ancient Persian legend, the oldest of those who see the tulip as the protagonist, this was born from the drops of blood of a young boy who committed suicide following a terrible disappointment in love. Even in the famous collection of fairy tales "The Arabian Nights" the tulip is associated with love: in fact, according to the accounts, the sultan dropped a red tulip at the foot of one of the women of the harem to show them what was the chosen .

It was later in the sixteenth century that this beautiful flower gained great popularity in Turkey, during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent Ottoman sultanate, from whose court were brought first to Vienna, then in Holland and England, and finally in the arms of your princess for cheer and perfuming her spring days, dreaming about a #fugaromantica in Amalfi Coast.

What has the romantic getaway? Got to do and how, as we entered a few days in the season of love and Luca Barra knows how to make us dream!

Marzo, i tulipani e il mio DW

The morning of March and the fresh tulips. The breakfast in a quiet corner of the city that reminds me so much the sunny Tuscan hills, with their expanses of sunflowers and old farmhouses transformed into estates. The smell of coffee and freshly baked croissants that blends with that of flowers just bought.

The silence and a moment of peace found in that concert of questions and emotions, positive and negative.

The passing time, always too fast or too slowly, but never as we want. I feel it, it's scanning the beats of a new season. A renewed spring, slowly, it's renewing me.

About time and scanned minutes, I remind you that until March 15 you can use the discount code thefashionprincess for the purchase of your favorite Daniel Wellington!

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.

Mannish shoes

"Desi, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Of course! The last time it was like a bolt from the blue, I did not understand anything... I still remember the excitement *-*
Shiny black leather and not over the top... Yeah, a few weeks ago, I fell in love! "
???????????????????????????????????????
Girls, I'm talking about shoes! Finally, after years and years searching for the perfect lace-up, I found it and it was Love with capital L.
The shoes in mannish style are trend autumn winter 2014-15 of most successful this year. Edgy models and elegant shapes inspired by the symmetry typical of men's shoes, which have, however, new life in the collections of the most famous fashion maison in the world.
The lace-ups are a must for the season to be comfortable, stylish and glamorous at the same time. And as a lover of elegance that I am, male and female (as you noted), I could not resist and I went down to ten centimeters (mom, you know that miracles do happen!) to come back down to earth.

Colori d'autunno

Autumn and its shades from yellow to red, still immersed in a bright green frame.
A total black outfit with accessories from the colors of the leaves and shoes in leopard print pony, as it wants to tip the season. A song in my head and a mixture of peace and thoughts drawn on my face. Today it goes like this...

Pencil skirt

Here's the look that you saw in the preview on Instagram (@desireedaloia) and that you particularly liked.
Lately I'm obsessed with suspenders, I admit. I've tried them in all ways but with the pencil skirt is the look absolute favorite!
What do you think? Waiting for your comments!
a big kiss

Blue night

 One Friday evening between friends, chat, cocktails and laughter.. lots of laughter!
A bit like the Sex and the City girls ;)
A look black as night, broken and turned on by a burst of electric blue.
What do you think?
A big kiss and happy Sunday :)
