A cold weather outfit: I need my UGG boots !

$

aniye by sweater, UGG boots, Fashion and Cookies

I am a very chilly person and when I see some other bloggers wearing t-shirts and having bare legs in the snow, I know I couldn't make it. I know that we all expect a fashion blogger to be immune from low temperatures and catching colds...but it's not always the case, LOL !. I hate suffering from the cold weather, and this is also a good excuse to buy winter clothing and accessories ;-). In these pics I was in beautiful Kastelbell-Tschars and I was wearing a very comfortable and warm outfit !. I think it's my first post wearing UGG boots, in spite of me having bought them in many colors thru the years: beige, brown, black, grey and these ones, a sort of greyish green, the latest pair. I am obviously pro Ugg boots, especially for comfy/casual outfits, and when it's cold outside. What about you ?.

Sono una persona molto freddolosa e quando mi capita di vedere altre blogger che indossano t-shirt leggere e vanno a gambe nude nella neve, so che io non ce la potrei fare !. So che da una fashion blogger ci si aspetta la massima resistenza alle basse temperature...ma non sempre è così ! :-).
Il fatto che io detesti soffrire il freddo è, comunque, una ottima scusa per comprare molti capi e accessori prettamente invernali ;-). In queste foto, scattate nella bella Castelbello-Ciardes, indossavo un outfit casual molto caldo !. Credo sia il primo outfit che posto con gli UGG boots, nonostante io ne abbia collezionati di diversi colori nel corso degli anni: beige, marroni, neri, grigi e questi, una sorta di verde grigiastro, gli ultimi acquistati. Sono decisamente pro Ugg boots, specialmente per outfit casual e comodi e quando fa freddo. Che mi dite di voi ?.

A hat with ear flaps is perfect to protect from chilly wind ! The one you see here is from Subdued. The burgundy gloves are from Numph. The wool sweater is very warm and is from Aniye By. I love wool sweaters and I pay a lot of attention to the composition tags when I go for winter shopping !. The bag is my beloved Givenchy Pandora that you are learning to see often...you were warned ! ;).

Un cappello con copriorecchie è quello che ci vuole per proteggersi dal vento freddo ! Quello che indosso in queste foto è di Subdued. I guanti burgundy sono di Numph. Il pullover di lana è caldissimo e soffice ed è di Aniye By, adoro le maglie in pura lana e sono sempre molto attenta a leggere le etichette quando faccio acquisti invernali. La borsa è la mia adorata Givenchy Pandora che state ormai vedendo spesso...vi avevo avvertiti !.

When it comes to winter jacket, in spite of my love for coats, I NEED a duvet coat to keep warmer. My fave brand is Moncler, I am a loyal customer, you can see the one I bought from this 2012-2013 season in the last pic, model name is Nantesfur.
I am a lover of high heels, but I have to confess my feet get happy when it's very cold, just because they can spend a bit of time inside a comfy pair of UGGs !.


Ovviamente, portavo anche una giacca. Quando si tratta di giacconi invernali, sebbene io adori i cappotti, ho bisogno di indossare un piumino per affrontare le giornate molto fredde, e i miei preferiti sono quelli di Moncler di cui sono una fedele cliente. Potete vedere il mio nell'ultima foto, è della collezione di quest'anno, modello Nantesfur.
Sono una amante dei tacchi, ma devo confessare che i miei piedi sono felicissimi quando fa molto freddo e possono trascorrere un po' di tempo dentro un comodo paio di UGG !.

A grey jumper dress

Guess dress, studded pumps, Maison Scotch cardigan

After a casual outfit, here we are with a more sophisticated yet simple one, featuring a grey wool jumper dress from Guess, worn with a black cardigan and...a very dark lipstick !. Yes, it's a sleeveless dress...apparently it's been very hard for me to find winter dresses with sleeves, this year ! We took the pics without me totally wearing the cardigan to show the bodycon dress in detail.
I admit I would have appreciated a pair of sleeves attached to this lovely dress, but maybe it's because of the economical crisis striking all over the world, no sleeves = less wool and therefore, less costs to produce the dress ! Could this be or am I just overanalyzing ? ;-)


Dopo un outfit molto casual, eccoci quì un look più sofisticato ma semplice, con un abito in lana di Guess indossato con un cardigan nero e...un rossetto molto scuro !. Sì, l'abito non ha le maniche...per questo inverno è stata una vera impresa trovarne con le maniche ! Abbiamo scattato queste foto con il cardigan sulle spalle per mostrare meglio i dettagli dell'abito, che segue molto la linea del corpo.
Non nascondo che avrei apprezzato un paio di maniche incluse, ma forse tutto cià accade a causa della crisi economica che imperversa nel mondo...niente maniche = meno lana e, pertanto, minori costi di produzione per l'abito ! Può essere o sto solo analizzando troppo la cosa ? :-)

The cardigan is from Maison Scotch, I have a similar one in camouflage print bought a few months ago ! I am a lover of cardigans in every season, I keep collecting them because they are so useful !. The shoes are the Louboutin Pigalle lookalikes you had already seen, and the clutch is from Zara. see the little set I made below !.

Il cardigan è di Maison Scotch, della stessa linea di un altro cardigan camouflage comprato qualche mese fa ! Sono una fan dei cardigan, ne ho tanti e per diverse stagioni, sono veramente comodi !. Le scarpe sono quelle simil-Pigalle di Louboutin che avevate già visto, e la clutch è di Zara. Ho preparato un piccolo set, nell'immagine sottostante !.

What are you up to in these days ? I have been super busy at work, I am very tired and I have really difficulties at waking up in the morning (people following me on Twitter know it so well, LOL !).
In my (little) spare time, I have been to the cinema a few times and I am so happy I went to see "Les Miserables", I liked it SO much, I think I am gonna see it another time ! Have you seen it ? I am a big fan of musicals in general and this one went beyond my expectations :-).
I have also succeeded in doing a little shopping and I can only tell the black and white stripes trend has already got me ;-).


Che avete fatto in questi giorni ? Io sono stata super occupata al lavoro, sono abbastanza stanca e ho difficoltà nell'alzarmi al mattino (e chi mi segue su Twitter lo sa bene, ahah !). Nel mio (poco) tempo libero, sono stata al cinema diverse volte e, tra i vari film, sono molto contenta di aver visto "Les Miserables", mi è piaciuto tantissimo, così tanto che credo andrò a vederlo un'altra volta ! Voi lo avete visto ? Sono una grande fan dei musical e questo è andato oltre le mie aspettative :-).
Sono anche riuscita a fare un po' di shopping e per ora posso solo dirvi che la moda delle righe bianche e nere mi ha già conquistata ;-).

New in: Stella McCartney sunglasses

Stella McCartney sunglasses, Zara coat

My love for sunglasses is well known, as I am wearing them in most of my posts. To me, sunglasses truly are part of the outfit and also something I feel very comfortable with, since my eyes are very delicate and can't stand direct sunlight very well. Let me introduce you to my latest pair of Stella McCartney Sunglasses, courtesy of Sunglasses Shop !. The sunnies arrived so quickly since my order, with their fancy case and in perfect condition ! This webshop has truly the best service among all the online shops I have experienced until now !.

Il mio amore per gli occhiali da sole non è un mistero, anche perché li porto in quasi tutti i post di questo blog. Per me, gli occhiali da sole sono parte integrante di un outfit e anche qualcosa che uso per comodità, dato che i miei occhi delicati sopportano a fatica la luce diretta del sole senza lacrimare. Oggi vi presento i miei nuovi occhiali arrivati da poco da Sunglasses Shop, sono di Stella McCartney !.
Gli occhiali sono arrivati velocemente dall'ordine, nella loro custodia, ed in condizioni perfette ! SunglassesShop ha davvero il miglior servizio tra tutti gli shop online che ho provato fino ad oggi !.

Usually cat eye Sunglasses suit my face shape pretty well, so when I picked those up I was almost sure those frames would look nice. This time I went for a pale color, also cause I have plenty of dark colored sunglasses and I needed a change !. Stella McCartney 4038 Sunglasses turned out being a great choice, they also have them in other colors, if you wanna give a look !.

Solitamente, gli occhiali dalla forma un po' retrò, "da gatta", stanno bene con la forma del mio viso, per cui ordinandoli online ero quasi sicura di non avere brutte soprese. Ho scelto un paio di occhiali dalla montatura chiara anche per cambiare un po', dato che di occhiali scuri ne ho già tanti ed inoltre amo questa tonalità di rosa. Se volete dare un'occhiata a questo modello e ai vari colori disponibili, ecco il link: Stella McCartney 4038 Sunglasses.

In these pics I am wearing a burgundy Zara coat, a new mini skirt from Zara (new collection) and my beloved Givenchy Pandora bag.
Ankle boots are from Iro (see details below) and on my nails I am wearing Dior nail polish "Gris trianon", love it !.


In queste foto indosso un cappotto di Zara color bordeaux, una mini presa da poco da Zara (nuova collezione) e la mia adorata borsa Givenchy Pandora.
I tronchetti sono di Iro (i dettagli nella foto sottostante) e sulle unghie porto lo smalto di Dior "Gris trianon", che adoro !.

It seems that the leather sleeved jackets trend is here to stay, together with the aztec print one, and I am happy about it. Sure, everytime I enter into Zara I am tempted by so many things, I just can't help it !. I've been wearing layers of clothes under this coat because the air is still too chilly, the coat is not very warm, not to my standards however ! Spring, where are you ? I need you !.

Pare che la moda delle giacche con maniche in pelle (o eco-pelle) sia quì per restare, stessa cosa per la stampa azteca, e a me non dispiace affatto. Di sicuro, ogni volta che entro da Zara è un attentato alle mie finanze, con gli arrivi continui, non resisto proprio !.
Indossavo strati di maglie sotto al cappotto di Zara, non è abbastanza caldo per queste temperature, e non per i miei standard, comunque. Primavera, dove sei ? Ho bisogno di te !!!.

Moschino sweater, Prada bag, Fashion and Cookies

Are you getting ready for Valentine's day ? Are you going to celebrate it tomorrow ? I do think that love should be celebrated everyday, but I am gonna celebrate it with my lovely hubby going on a dinner after a long day of work, I have more than one reason...I am happily in love and my name is Valentina ;)...I think I should get two presents for this reason, right ? Ahah :D. I am not going to post about presents suggestions for tomorrow, I have already sent my personal suggestions around as a subliminal messages to my love...ahahah. Instead, I have decided to post pics of a simple outfit with a sweater I like so much, it's from Love Moschino and it features a girl in cat eye glasses, same shape I use to read in my everyday life. Isn't it cute ?.

Siete pronti per San Valentino ? Lo festeggerete domani ? Io credo che l'amore vada celebrato ogni giorno dell'anno, ma festeggerò San Valentino con il mio adorabile maritino dopo quella che sarà una lunga giornata di lavoro...ho due motivi per farlo: sono felicemente innamorata e mi chiamo Valentina ;)...pertanto, credo proprio che dovrei ricevere due regali per questo motivo, giusto ? Ahaha :D. Non posterò idee regalo per domani, ho già mandato messaggi subliminali al mio amore in proposito, so essere diabolica, ahaha ;) Invece, ho deciso di mostrarvi un outfit semplice con un maglione che mi piace molto, di Love Moschino, raffigurante una ragazza con occhiali "da gatta", quasi identici a quelli che uso io nella vita di tutti i giorni. Non è carino ?.

I have decided to style the sweater with simple jeans and my Guess by Marciano ankle boots, same collection of my wedged pumps you had already seen. See them better in the pic below !. As a bag, I opted for my green Prada bag.

Ho deciso di abbinare al maglione un semplice paio di jeans e i miei tronchetti con zeppa di Guess by Marciano, della stessa collezione delle deco che vi avevo già fatto vedere. Potete vederne meglio i dettagli nella foto sottostante. Come borsa, ho optato per la borsa di Prada verde.

I added a touch of red nail polish, as always, just a few minutes before going out...do you also do that ?. I am often in a hurry for everything...to be sincere, also now I am a hurry to go to the hairdresser, LOL !.
I wish you all a good Valentine's day for tomorrow, and if you aren't in a couple, never forget you can still be in love with yourself, so this means you can still pamper yourself and remember that being on our own is surely better than be with the wrong person, and that we have to enjoy our days at the best we can :-).


Ho optato per uno smalto rosso classico, applicandolo, come spesso mi accade, solo pochi minuti prima di uscire...capita anche a voi ?. Vado spesso di fretta per tutto...sinceramente, anche adesso sarei di fretta perché devo andare dalla parrucchiera ;-).
Vi auguro un buon San Valentino per domani e anche se non siete in coppia, ricordate che potete sempre essere innamorati di...voi stessi, ovvero potete coccolarvi come meglio preferite e ricordare che starsene per conto proprio in alcuni momenti è sicuramente meglio che stare con la persona sbagliata, bisogna trarre il meglio da tutte le situazioni :-).

Trend alert: Marc by Marc Jacobs see through bags !

See thru bags, Marc by Marc Jacobs clear bags, Fashion and Cookies

See through bags are one of the hottest trends for Spring-Summer 2013, I have the feeling we'll see them a bit everywhere ! There are plenty of transparent bags around, but my absolute fave ones are these ones from Marc by Marc Jacobs. This brand went for a clear front panels so there's a right compromise between a trendy transparent bag and our need for privacy. I don't think I could pull off a totally transparent bag, but a bag like the ones you see above, there is the chance to display just one or two items of choice and to hide the other things from people's view. Add to this that they are totally cute !.
I am proud to introduce my newest bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs clearly top handle bag, it was gifted to me by hubby for Valentine's day (subliminal messages DO work, believe me !)...red like passion and very trendy, can you tell I am happy ? :-).


Le borse trasparenti sono uno dei trend più "hot" per la Primavera-Estate 2013, sento che le vedremo ovunque ! Ce ne sono tante in giro, ma le mie preferite in assoluto sono queste di Marc by Marc Jacobs. Il brand ha scelto di optare per i pannelli frontali in pvc trasparente, lasciando quindi un giusto compromesso tra la trasparenza e il bisogno di privacy. Non credo indosserei una borsa totalmente trasparente, ma con una borsa come quelle che vedete nella foto, c'è la possibilità di "mostrare" solo uno o due accessori, lasciando gli altri oggetti al sicuro da sguardi indiscreti. In più, sono decisamente carinissime !.
Sono orgogliosa di presentarvi l'ultima arrivata a casa mia, Marc by Marc Jacobs clearly top handle, regalatami dal maritino per San Valentino (i messaggi subliminali funzionano !)...rossa come la passione e alla moda, ovviamente non poteva non rendermi felice ! :-).

Taking pics to this kind of bag isn't too easy, especially in the house ! I have displayed my iPhone just to show you how it looks. I can't wait to wear this bag, I think it will look lovely with jeans or even with a cute dress, plus I love the bright red color and the softness of the leather !. I am usually very fond of large bags, and I am just happy this one isn't too small to carry my essentials :-).
What objects would you display in the clear front ? A fancy wallet, mobile phone, a pair of sunglasses or maybe your lipstick for a quick retouch ?.


Scattare foto a questo modello di borsa non è facile, tra le mura di casa ! Con l'iPhone vi rendete conto di quanto spaziosa sia. Non vedo l'ora di portare questa borsa con me, credo che starà benissimo con i jeans ma anche con un bell'abitino, poi adoro il rosso brillante e la morbidezza della pelle !. Solitamente uso borse grandi, di questa mi piace il fatto che - seppure di dimensioni contenute - sia abbastanza spaziosa per portare tutti i miei oggetti "essenziali".
Quale oggetto mettereste in vetrina nella tasca trasparente ? Un bel portafoglio, il vostro telefono, gli occhiali da sole o, magari, il rossetto per un ritocco veloce al make up ?.

A cute dress is the easiest way to dress up...no skirt and shirt to match, just a bunch of accessories and we're ready to go out !...This knitted 60s style dress I had the luck to find in a boutique has front pockets, a turtleneck and a pop of one of my fave colors: purple !. The brand is called "handmade".

Un bell'abitino è un modo facile e veloce di vestirsi...nessuna gonna e camicia da abbinare, basta qualche accessorio giusto e siamo pronte ad uscire !...Questo abito in pura lana anni '60 che ho avuto la fortuna di trovare in una boutique ha due tasche frontali, collo alto e unisce al nero un tocco di un colore che amo: il viola !. Il brand si chiama "handmade".

I matched the dress with my Gaia d'Este suede and leather boots you had already seen and just to add some more color, I opted for my blue cobalt Balenciaga City bag. I love this bag so much and soon or later I'd love to give it a "sister"...maybe in coral pink ! ;-).

Ho abbinato all'abito i miei stivali in camoscio e pelle di Gaia d'Este che vi avevo già mostrato e, proprio per aggiungere un altro tocco di colore, ho optato per la Balenciaga City in blu cobalto, alla quale prima o poi vorrei dare una "sorellina"...magari in rosa corallo ! ;-).

I have a Lancome lipstick that is as purple as this dress, so I had the chance to wear it. It's a simple outfit and I do not have much to add, but sometimes leaving it simple is truly the best thing (not all the time, sometimes I love to exceed !).
Speaking about simple things, I (finally) worked a bit on the layout of this blog and now it loads faster and finally, the most important thing, threaded comments DO work, this means I can easily reply to your questions directly on the blog ! I was so annoyed that with my custom made layout threaded comments didn't work, they are important to communicate with you !.


Ho un rossetto di Lancome dello stesso viola, per cui ho pensato di metterlo con questo abito. E' un outfit semplice e non ho molto da aggiungere, ma a volte la semplicità è la miglior cosa - per me non sempre, in quanto mi piacciono anche look più "complicati" ;-).
A proposito di semplicità, finalmente ho lavorato un po' sul layout del blog e ora si carica più rapidamente e, inoltre, la cosa più importante, le risposte dirette sotto ogni commento funzionano, il che significa che posso facilmente rispondere alle vostre domande direttamente sul blog ! Ero così frustrata perché il mio precedente layout non consentiva una cosa tanto semplice ma essenziale per comunicare meglio con voi !.

Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs too hot to handle tote
How are you doing ? It's been a very busy week for me and I am just so happy we're almost at the weekend ! It's time for a new outfit post, featuring a Marc by Marc Jacobs olive green wool dress that I bought some time ago. I love the design of the collar, of the shoulders, and the shirt cut and the olive green color !.
You can also see my crazy fold over Asos boots again, I love them more and more also because they are different, because buying them has been a matter of impulse and an act of courage, because they are the kind of shoes you either love or hate.


Come state ? Questa è stata una settimana molto impegnativa per me, fino ad ora, e sono felice che siamo arrivati quasi al fine settimana ! E' tempo di un nuovo post outfit, con un abito in lana di Marc by Marc Jacobs comprato un po' di tempo fa. Mi piacciono molto il taglio del collo, delle spalle e il taglio "a camicia" di questo abitino e il suo colore verde oliva !.
Potete, inoltre, rivedere i miei pazzi stivali di Asos, stivali che amo sempre più proprio perché sono diversi dal solito, perché comprarli è stata una scelta coraggiosa, in quanto sono il tipo di calzature che si amano o si odiano, senza vie di mezzo !.

I decided to go for olive green opaque tights that also helped me to keep warm, and went for a light woolen top under the dress. I matched my burgundy "Too hot to handle" Marc by Marc Jacobs tote and a burgundy chain necklace from Byba bijoux. I like the result because the colors look good together.
I think this dress would look good with a pair of flats (not my usual style, but they would look nice), with stiletto pumps (gotta try it), with biker boots or even UGGs. What kind of shoes would you choose ?.


Ho deciso di optare per calze coprenti dello stesso colore dell'abito, verde oliva, che mi hanno anche aiutata a mantenermi al caldo, e ho indossato un top in lana leggero sotto all'abito. Ho abbinato la tote bordeaux "Too hot to handle" di Marc by Marc Jacobs ed una collana a catena sempre in bordeaux di Byba bijoux. Mi piace il risultato ottenuto per via dell'insieme dei colori. Questo abito starebbe bene anche con con un paio di ballerine (non il mio stile, ma ci starebbero bene), con un paio di pumps dal tacco a spillo (da provare), con biker boots, con gli UGG. Voi con cosa lo abbinereste ?.

The highlights of my day was going to the movies to watch "Anna Karenina". I loved that movie, Keira Knightley was amazing in it and the director did a very good job. I love going to the movies so much, it relaxes me a lot. I prefer watching tv series at home, but when it comes to movies I love going out to the movies. What about you ?.

Il momento migliore della mia giornata è stato andarmene al cinema a vedere "Anna Karenina". Mi è piaciuto molto, Keira Knightley è stata bravissima e il regista ha fatto un ottimo lavoro. Mi piace molto andare al cinema, mi rilassa. Preferisco stare a casa a guardare le serie tv, ma quando si tratta di film mi piace "gustarmeli" davanti al grande schermo del cinema. Che mi dite di voi ?.

fake fur coat, Fashion and Cookies

Fake fur vests and jackets are so trendy, this year, we've seen them on so many bloggers, celebrities and in fashion magazines. When I ordered my fake fur from Chicnova, I was aware mine would be very colorful and therefore a bit crazy. Here it is, my outfit wearing my new faux fur coat with knitted sleeves, shaped as a cardigan !.
I decided to give it a rock vibe, wearing it with studded biker boots, skinny pants and a green striped beanie. My hubby said I looked like a green cute parrot, LOL.


I gilet e le giacche in ecopelliccia sono molto di moda, quest'anno, ne abbiamo visti tanti indosso ad altre bloggers, a celebrità e nei giornali di moda. Quando ho ordinato la mia pelliccetta finta su Chicnova, sapevo che sarebbe stata un po' eccentrica, dato il colore.
Ecco, dunque, il mio outfit con la nuova giacca in ecopelliccia con maniche in lana, che sembra più un cardigan dal design !. Ho deciso di dare al capo "peloso" un vibe rock, indossandolo con biker boots borchiati, pantaloni skinny e un cappellino a righe nei toni del verde. Mio marito ha scherzato dicendo che gli ricordavo un pappagallino verde...per tutta risposta ho minacciato di andare a votare insieme a lui vestita così ! :)

I decided to wear my Sodini necklace from last summer, I thought it would look good with this outfit cause it has the same color of the fake fur jacket !. What do you think about faux furs ?. Would you wear a faux fur coat that looks almost identical to real fur or would you rather go for some crazy color, instead ?. My answer for now is easy...I own a leopard print fake fur jacket and now, this one...both are faux, with no doubt ;-).

Ho deciso di indossare nuovamente la mia collana Sodini della scorsa estate, pensando che potesse andare bene con questo outfit per via del colore, uguale a quello della giacca in ecopelliccia !. Cosa ne pensate dei capi in ecopelliccia ?. Indossereste una giacca "pelosa" che sembri una pelliccia vera o preferireste scegliere qualcosa di smaccatamente falso, magari dal colore un po' pazzo ?. La mia risposta - ad oggi - è facile: ho una giacca in ecopelliccia a stampa leopardata e ora questa...entrambe sono false senza ombra di dubbio ;-).

With all these green shades, I decided to opt for a black handbag - in this case, my Balenciaga Work tote. The Jucca striped beanie was also a problem solver...when we took these pics it was so windy, and without a hat my hair would have been all over my face ! ;-). I've been looking for a total black simple beanie, I am open to your suggestions !.

Con tutte queste sfumature di verde, ho deciso di restare sul colore nero per la borsa - la Balenciaga Work. Il cappellino rigato Jucca è stato, invece, anche ottimo come soluzione al problema vento...senza il cappello, anziché un pappagallino, sarei sembrata il Cugino It, con i capelli tutti davanti al viso !. A proposito, sto cercando un beanie tutto nero, se avete suggerimenti fatemi sapere !.

I am all excited about the Academy Awards Ceremony ! What about you ? Les Misérables is my fave movie among all the nominated movies, together with Tarantino's "Django Unchained". Unfortunately, most of the times my fave movies don't end up with the Oscar, LOL...but I do enjoy the red carpet and the ceremony. The latest movie I watched at the movies was "Gangster Squad"...I fell in love with the make up and the clothes of this movie, and went to buy another red lipstick and a new eyeliner...but this I will show you in another post !.

Sono curiosa di sapere come andrà la cerimonia degli Oscar ! Che mi dite di voi ? Les Misérables è il mio film preferito tra quelli "nominati", insieme a "Django Unchained" di Quentin Tarantino. Sfortunatamente, spesso le mie aspettative circa i vincitori vengono deluse, LOL...ma mi piace molto guardare il red carpet e la cerimonia. L'ultimo film visto al cinema è stato "Gangster Squad", questo sabato...mi sono innamorata del trucco e degli abiti di questo film, e sono corsa a comprarmi l'ennesimo rossetto rosso e un nuovo eyeliner...ma di questo ne parlerò in un altro post !.

crystal iPhone case, DS Styles, Fashion and Cookies

I have already told you about my love for mobile phone cases, especially for cute ones, in a dedicated post. Today I want to show you a new, sparkly add to my iPhone cases collection !.
I got sent this lovely personalized bling crystal phone case from DS Styles. This webshop offers an amazing wide range of phone and iPad cases and the thing that caught my attention was that they make wonderful mobile phone and iPad cases encrusted with Swarovski crystals, even customised with your initial or your own name !.
I wanted mine with my initial, and here it is, with a "V" ! It has a touch of pink that I really like and a sparkly silver background, it goes perfectly on my white iPhone 4S and it came with a beautiful box, a velvet pouch, a certificate of authenticity and even a tiny bag with a few crystals that can replace the eventually missing ones.


Vi avevo già parlato del mio amore per le cover per cellulari, specialmente per quelle particolari, in un post dedicato. Oggi voglio mostrarvi una nuova, luccicante aggiunta alla mia collezione di cover per il mio iPhone !.
Ho ricevuto questo adorabile case personalizzato e ricoperto di cristalli da DS Styles. Questo webshop offre una incredibile varietà di cover per telefoni e per iPad e lavora molto con veri cristalli Swarovski, personalizzando i case, volendo, con iniziali o con il vostro nome !.
Io volevo tanto un case con la mia iniziale, ed eccolo, con una "V" ! Ha un tocco di rosa che non guasta mai e il fondo argento, abbinandosi perfettamente con il mio iPhone 4S bianco. E' arrivato perfettamente imballato con una bella scatola, una custodia in velluto, un certificato di autenticità dei cristalli adoperati e persino una bustina contenente dei mini cristalli di ricambio !.

I love the perfect fit, the fact it's really very sparkly and that this crystal encrusted case looks so luxurious unlike many other encrusted cases I saw, add to this that shipment was quick and perfect, result is that I think I will soon place an order for an iPad cover !. I suggest you to visit DS Styles and please, notice that DSstyles is holding a monthly Swarovski case giveaway in DSstyles official page !.

Mi piace per la perfetta aderenza al telefono, per il fatto che i cristalli sono veramente luminosissimi e perché il case "tempestato" ha un aspetto veramente lussuoso rispetto ad altri che ho visto in giro, inoltre la spedizione è stata veloce...penso proprio che presto ordinerò una custodia per il mio iPad !. Vi suggerisco di visitare il sito DS Styles, tra l'altro, anche perché hanno un giveaway per poter vincere una cover con Swarovski ogni mese !.

Maxi skirt and fake fur vest

There are outfit posts that should be tagged as "the husband series", meaning the ones my hubby had "something" to say about. Maybe you already heard about his avversion for fake fur items. Well, as you can imagine he wasn't too enthustiast about this black fake fur vest I bought at Stradivarius. Add to this, he's not fond of maxi skirts !.
Obviously, the result of his avversion was the following: amused to channel this modern version of Anna Karenina, I wore it anyway and even asked him to take pics ! Enjoy :).


Ci sono post outfit che dovrebbero essere taggati come "the husband series", ovvero quelli "segnati" dal caro maritino. Forse avevate già letto circa la sua avversione per pellicciotti e affini...beh, potete immaginare il suo entusiasmo verso questo gilet nero di pelliccia finta comprato da Stradivarius. Aggiungeteci che non è un fan neanche delle maxi gonne !.
Ovviamente, il risultato della sua avversione è stato il seguente: perfettamente a mio agio in questa mise un po' da Anna Karenina dei nostri giorni, l'ho indossato lo stesso e ho pure avuto la faccia tosta di chiedergli di fotografarmi ! :).


Zara maxi skirt
Subdued burgundy top
Stradivarius fake fur vest
Loriblu ankle boots


Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses
Carla G belt
La fille des fleurs studded clutch
Dior nail polish



This burgundy maxi skirt from Zara had been waiting for quite a long time in my closet. I decided to match it with a simple burgundy long sleeved top and to add a leather soft belt. The studded bow clutch from La fille des fleurs was a present from my mum.

La maxi gonna bordeaux di Zara ha aspettato per diverso tempo nel mio armadio prima di essere indossata. L'ho abbinata ad un semplice top dello stesso colore e ho aggiunto una cintura in nappa nera. La clutch con fiocco e borchie è un regalo di mia madre, ed è di La fille des fleurs.

Ankle boots are from Loriblu and you saw them already. I opted for a bold make up, dark lipstick and black nail polish, for a more dramatic effect. This outfit is sure not for everyday, it's a bit eccentric, but as always in life it depends...it's totally simple and normal compared to the outfits we saw at New York and Milan Fashion Week, LOL !.

I tronchetti sono di Loriblu e li avevate già visti. Ho optato per un make up deciso, con rossetto scuro e smalto nero, per un effetto più "drammatico". Sicuramente questo outfit non è per tutti i giorni, è un po' eccentrico, ma come sempre nella vita tutto è relativo...potrebbe essere veramente semplice e normale se lo paragonassimo ad outfit visti duranti le Fashion Week di New York e Milano !.

Orange cardigan and...sunglasses !

orange cardigan, cuissardes, black beanie

I was going to simply add some pop of color to a black outfit with an orange cardigan, but before going out I had another of my great ideas for "the husband series": why not adding a pair of orange sunglasses to add some fun to the whole outfit ?.
So, I put my big sunglasses on and smiled at my husband. He smiled back, commenting that my sunnies were a bit weird and saying they wouldn't surely go unnoticed, even more because we weren't directed to Fashion Week but to a simple restaurant (his words !). I knew he wasn't going to like my idea, and probably also a couple of friends ;)...but since in life you have to go after what you want and usually we want what we shouldn't have...I went out with my big sunnies and I confess I had some fun ! ;-).

Stavo per limitarmi ad aggiungere un tocco di colore ad outfit principalmente nero indossando un cardigan arancio, ma prima di uscire ho avuto un'altra delle mie brillanti idee per "the husband series": perché non aggiungere anche un paio di occhialoni arancio per rendere l'outfit più spiritoso ?.
Ho inforcato i miei occhialoni e mi sono presentata, sorridente, a mio marito, che ha ovviamente avuto da ridire sul fatto che gli occhiali fossero eccentrici e si facessero notare un po' troppo, tanto più che non stavamo andando alla Fashion Week ma ad un semplice pranzo (parole sue !). Sapevo già che non avrebbe approvato e con lui probabilmente un paio di amiche ;)...ma siccome nella vita si desidera di più ciò che non si dovrebbe avere, sono uscita con i miei occhiali strani, e mi sono anche divertita ! ;-).

I like orange so much, and I was happy to notice it's trending also in new Spring/Summer collections. This cardigan is from Only and the color is very bright, love it !. The bodycon woolen dress underneath is from Elisabetta Franchi and it features a removable brooch shaped as a bow.

Mi piace molto l'arancione, e sono stata felice di constatare che è un colore molto di moda anche per le collezioni Primavera/Estate. Questo cardigan di Only è di un arancio molto acceso, lo amo ! L'abito in lana aderente a coste è di Elisabetta Franchi ed è semplice, ha solo una spilla removibile a forma di fiocchetto.

I decided to use for the first time my Zara perspex bag featuring a striped pouch inside (see details below). As boots, I went for cuissardes leather boots, in my shoe closet from a long time.

Ho deciso di optare, per la sua prima uscita, per la clutch in plexiglass di Zara (i dettagli sotto), che ha una pochette a righe bianche e nere all'interno. Ho indossato dei cuissards di pelle nera, da parecchio tempo nella mia scarpiera.

I was also wearing a black beanie, you can see it in some of the pics. As lipstick, I went for one of my fave MAC lippies: Vegas Volt.
At the end of the day my hubby got used to seeing me wearing these sunnies and he said he had changed his opinion... Mission accomplished ! At least, until next time...;)


Portavo anche un beanie nero, che potete vedere in alcune foto. Come rossetto, ho scelto uno dei miei preferiti di MAC: Vegas Volt.
Alla fine della giornata, mio marito si era abituato a vedermi portare questi occhiali e ha ammesso di aver cambiato opinione...Missione compiuta ! Almeno fino alla prossima volta...;)

striped sweater, black and white outfit, Givenchy bag

Stripes, more stripes combined with and black and white outfits: we are ready to see them everywhere (and wear them) for this Spring ! Before wearing my striped tees I already bought for warm weather, I had the chance to wear a Nolita striped wool sweater, for a transitional outfit...still a winter one but looking to warmer times !. A casual look for a walk on the beach, where the only pops of color were my red Dolce & Gabbana lipstick and my nail polish.

Righe, righe e ancora righe, insieme ad outfit in bianco e nero. Siamo pronti per vederne ovunque, questa Primavera ! Prima di poter indossare le mie t-shirts a righe, delle quali ho già fatto provvista in vista del bel tempo, ho avuto l'occasione di indossare una maglia a righe di Nolita, per un look "di transizione"...ancora invernale, ma in direzione Primavera !. Un look casual per una passeggiata sulla spiaggia, dove gli unici tocchi di colore erano il mio rossetto di Dolce & Gabbana e lo smalto sulle unghie.

This wool sweater is very comfortable and the lenght is perfect to be worn with leggings. I was wearing Pimkie leggings and my latest sneakers purchase, studded sneakers from Ash. I love them !. As bag I opted for my Givenchy Pandora, super comfy and roomy, with a super soft leather. Here below you can see more details of the shoes.

La maglia a righe in lana è molto comoda e di una lunghezza adatta ad essere indossata con dei leggings. Indossavo leggings di Pimkie e ai piedi il mio ultimo acquisto in fatto di sneakers, quelle borchiate di Ash. Le adoro !. Come borsa, ho optato per la Pandora di Givenchy, super comoda e capiente, oltre che di una pelle morbidissima. Nella foto sottostante potete vedere meglio le scarpe.

A no brand statement necklace completed the casual look, together with a black beanie and my trademark sunglasses :-). You will see me wearing red lipstick very often because lately I have bought three red lipsticks I adore (I would like to post about them, we'll see) !.
The one I was wearing in these pics is from Dolce & Gabbana and is from the "Monica" collection, inspired by italian beauty Monica Bellucci. I simply adore this very hydrating lip color and the vibrant shade - it's called "160 - Italian Monica".


Una collana vistosa (no brand) ha completato questo look casual, insieme ad un beanie nero ed al mio "marchio di fabbrica", ovvero gli occhiali da sole :-). Mi vedrete spesso portare rossetto rosso d'ora in poi perché di recente ho comprato tre rossetti rossi che adoro letterlamente (vorrei farci un post, vedremo) ! Quello che porto in queste foto è di Dolce & Gabbana ed è della collezione "Monica". Lo adoro semplicemente, è molto idratante ed è un rosso molto luminoso, il colore si chiama "160 - Italian Monica".

Before ending this post, I have to say how much I liked the movie "Silver linings Playbook" ! I know it was out in November in the USA, well it's finally at the movies here in Italy and I really liked it a LOT, it got me laughing and also it moved me. I like going to the movies even more than I like to go shopping, it means I like it a LOT !. Sure, it's less expensive than shopping...maybe that's why hubby is so happy to go to the movies with me ? ;)

Prima di finire con questo post, devo assolutamente dirvi quanto io abbia adorato il film "Il lato positivo" ! So che è uscito già lo scorso novembre negli USA, ma è finalmente nei cinema in Italia e mi è piaciuto davvero tanto, mi ha fatta ridere e anche commuovere. Andare al cinema mi piace anche più di fare shopping, il che significa che mi piace MOLTO !. Di sicuro, è un passatempo meno costoso dello shopping...forse per questo mio marito me lo propone sempre più spesso ultimamente ? ;)

March is being such a crazy month...the weather is sunny when I am in the office, and suddendly very rainy when I am out ! I suppose many of you are, just like me, tired of wearing winter clothes...but it's not warm yet, so my way to express my happiness when I am out on a sunny day is to add some vibrant color to my outfit, and this Custo mini dress has it all: a fun print, vibrant colors a 60s inspired shape !.

Questo mese di marzo si sta comportando in modo pazzo...c'è il sole quando sono in ufficio e, improvvisamente, inizia a piovere quando esco ! Credo che la maggior parte di voi sia, come me, stanca di indossare abiti invernali...ma non fa ancora abbastanza caldo, per cui il mio modo di esprimere la mia felicità per essere fuori in una giornata di sole è aggiungere dei colori accesi al mio look, e questo mini abito di Custo ha sia una stampa divertente che colori che definirei "energizzanti", oltre ad un design molto anni '60 !.

Fuchsia and red mixed together are a combo that I have always liked, I think they are flattering to pale skins as well as tanned ones. This cute dress made me think about my color block Marc by Marc Jacobs bag as soon as I tried it on, so it's natural this was my choice for the outfit. On my lips, I had another of my latest red lipstick purchases, this one is from Givenchy's latest collection, another great red lipstick. You had been already warned about my red lips addiction !.
On my nails I had Chanel "Graphite" nail polish.


Il fucsia e il rosso mixati insieme sono una combinazione che mi ha sempre affascinata, credo inoltre stiano bene sia a carnagioni pallide che a quelle più olivastre. Questo abitino mi ha fatta pensare alla mia borsa color block Marc by Marc Jacobs non appena l'ho provato, pertanto la scelta per l'outfit è stata veloce. Sulle labbra, avevo un altro dei miei ultimi acquisti in fatto di make up, della collezione Givenchy, un altro ottimo rossetto. Vi avevo già avvertiti circa la mia recente ossessione per i rossetti rossi !.
Sulle unghie avevo "Graphite" di Chanel.

The taupe wedge boots added the "neutrals" part to the outfit, balancing it a bit. I love them, they were on sale at Patrizia Pepe and I had to have them, so soft and comfortable, they are a bit large on the leg but with a button on the side to make them smaller, and so I did for this look. I opted for dark grey opaque tights. I am gonna use those boots in Spring, even with lighter tights and also with jeans.

Gli stivali con zeppa color talpa hanno bilanciato l'outfit con una parte "neutra". Mi piacciono molto, li ho trovati in saldo da Patrizia Pepe e li ho dovuti prendere, sono super morbidi e comodi. Il modello è largo sulla gamba ma hanno un bottone laterale che permette di renderli maggiormente aderenti, cosa che ho fatto per questo look, optando per calze coprenti di colore grigio. Userò molto questi stivali in Primavera, anche con calze più leggere e con i jeans.

Speaking about tights, I have something to ask you: I would like to hear your honest opinion about nude (skin toned) tights. I think all of us had a few pair of nude tights , but in the past few years I kept reading many criticisms about them, but I am confused because I saw a variety of bloggers posting outfits with nude tights and getting a lot of compliments anyway. Are nude tights a fashion crime or not according to you ?. Or does it just depend on how you style them ?. I prefer black tights and I wish I didn't suffer for the cold, but since Spring is getting near, the temptation of wearing nude hoisery is strong, and I am confident enough to think I could style them in a decent way (LOL)...shall I do it or avoid them at all ? Let's discuss this !.

Parlando di calze, ho qualcosa da chiedervi, vorrei conoscere la vostra opinione sulle calze color carne, velate. Credo che tutte noi abbiano avuto almeno un paio di calze color carne, ma negli ultimi anni si leggono molte critiche negative a riguardo, ma sono confusa dal fatto che ho visto diverse bloggers postare outfit con calze color carne e ricevere molti complimenti. Le calze color carne sono un crimine della moda o no, secondo voi ?. Forse dipende solo da come si abbinano ?.
Io preferisco sicuramente le calze nere e coprenti, anche se spesso vorrei non essere tanto freddolosa, ma siccome la Primavera si avvicina, la tentazione di indossare calze velate effetto nudo si fa forte, inoltre credo in me al punto da illudermi di poter avere un aspetto decente comunque (LOL)...dovrei provare o desistere del tutto secondo voi ? Parliamone !.

Brave enough to wear: Givenchy look alike boots

zara jacket, Givenchy lookalike boots

A grey day can turn brighter when you are wearing new boots, this is my personal motto. The boots I am wearing in this outfit are very inspired to Givenchy's fold-over knee boots, so trendy this season. Those boots are very controversial: the whole fashion web was torn between fans and people saying they are ugly and that not even a top model could look good in them. I obviously was a fan, as soon as I saw them for the first time.
Plus, before this happened, I have seen people dissing Lita boots, and I have decided to buy them anyway. I have seen people hating UGG boots, and I think they are the comfiest winter boots ever. I have seen people saying wedged sneakers were pure evil, yet I had a couple and love them...do you think some people saying they disliked those boots could stop me from trying to wear them ? Of course NOT ! :-).


Una giornata grigia può diventare più luminosa indossando stivali nuovi, è un po' il mio motto personale. Gli stivali che indosso in questo outfit sono molto ispirati a quelli di Givenchy, molto di moda questo inverno, stivali che hanno diviso il web del fashion tra fan sfegatate e gente che diceva che sono brutti e che neanche una modella professionista potrebbe riuscire a valorizzarsi indossandoli. Io, ovviamente, ne sono stata attratta, da subito.
In più, prima che ciò accadesse, ho letto di gente che parlava male delle Lita, e ho deciso di comprarle comunque. Ho letto di gente che odiava gli UGG, invece ne ho una piccola collezione e li trovo comodissimi. Ho letto di gente che parlava male delle sneakers con zeppa, come se fossero il male del mondo, invece io ne ho due paia e mi ci trovo bene...quindi, credete che qualche critica agli stivali di cui mi ero invaghita non appena visti potesse fermarmi dal procurarmene un paio ? Ovviamente no ! :-). C'è così tanta gente che porta le Hogan Interactive, dopotutto...il male è altrove, ahahah :-P.

I have to say these boots from Choies surprised me very much. When I ordered them, knowing I couldn't afford the real ones (about $ 1700) and that I'd rather spend the money for a real Givenchy bag instead that for boots I'd probably wear only a few times, I was fearing they were bad quality. Instead, and for $ 168, they are comfortable, their leather is very soft and they look very much like the "real" thing. I usually refrain from buying copies of real designer things, this is the only time I really "sinned", but that was my only way to free myself from the obsession of wearing such loved and hated boots. My husband was grateful and proud of me for choosing Choies over Givenchy, because he thinks these boots are a bit of a "man repeller" footwear and, of course, for the price of the real thing...I told him I am saving up to buy an Antigona bag and suddendly the day turned grey...for him ! LOL :-).

Devo dire che questi stivali di Choies mi hanno sorpresa moltissimo. Quando li ho ordinati, sapendo di non potermi permettere i veri Givenchy (circa $ 1700) e che anche potendo avrei speso simile cifra per una vera borsa Givenchy anziché per stivali moda da indossare pochissime volte, avevo la paura di trovarmi davanti ad un prodotto di cattiva qualità e di fattura pessima. Invece, e per $ 168, non solo sono comodi ma sono di una pelle morbidissima e sembrano molto come quelli "veri". Di solito, non compro mai copie esatte di accessori di famosi designer, questa volta ho "peccato" ma era l'unico modo di liberarmi dall'ossessione ricorrente di provare questi tanto amati e odiati stivali. Mio marito mi è stato grato per aver preferito Choies a Givenchy, sia perché questi stivali sono un po' da "man repeller" che per il prezzo di quelli veri...io gli ho risposto che ho risparmiato per comprarmi una "Antigona"...ed improvvisamente la giornata è tornata grigia, ma per lui !.

I have already worn these boots with miniskirts (dark opaque tights) and leggings and they are too comfortable to be true. In these pics, I matched them with a black Zara jacket from new collection, a pair of skinny jeans and a Zara envelope clutch. On my lips, another vibrant red, this time from Chanel, "Coromandel". That's all for today, I am ready to read your comments and in any case do not worry - my stilettos will be back shortly !.

Ho già portato questi stivali anche con minigonne (calze nere coprenti) e leggings e sono fin troppo comodi per essere veri. In queste foto, li ho abbinati con una giacca nera di Zara della nuova collezione, un paio di jeans skinny ed una clutch a busta sempre di Zara. Sulle labbra, un altro rosso acceso, stavolta di Chanel, "Coromandel". E' tutto per oggi, sono pronta a leggere le vostre opinioni ed in ogni caso non vi preoccupate - i miei tacchi a spillo torneranno presto !.
