This post is to talk you about my new ripped jeans and why I had to copy Chiara Ferragni (the iper-famous fashion blogger, ndr). Yeah, the truth is that I bought these skinnies after seeing her wearing them... I hesitated for a while (of course I don't like to copy like a dummy), but then decided to buy them, they are too perfect not to have them in my fashionista closet.  

As an excuse for this guilt of plagiarism, you have to know:

1) I have been looking for a pair of ripped skinnies for a long, long time, I have some slouchy/tom boy distressed jeans, but, as you know, I do prefer a more feminine style. 

2) I also have a crush on JBrand jeans, their fit is fantastic: slimming but very, very comfy (pretty a rare balance to be found). 

3) I like to show you in my posts what I really like and I'm wearing in my daily life, not only something really original but working well just for a photo post.

4) ...it's almost impossible not copying Chiara from time to time, voluntarily or not, she is very good in wearing everything is new and trendy (and in a massive variety... thanks to all the fashion collaborations/promotions she is doing as part of her job) 

Last Sunday, I styled these skinnies with one of my favorite scarf and green "guerrillera" cap (from a trip to Cuba) plus my leather biker jacket. 

More for you, if you mind: I found these skinnies online at ShopBop (they were less expensive than at Net-a-porter), their delivery from US to Italy was really fast (3 days) and without any customs problem... (which is not always the case when ordering online on a US site for a delivery in Europe).

I hope you like this outfit and my brave outing... ;-)

It's (finally) spring! E' (finalmente) primavera!

I adore to buy shoes, but I hate buying shoes I won’t use … so I always try to reason with my heeled desires and buy right shoes that I’ll wear with confidence over and over again and won’t just fill, unused, my wardrobe closet…. So I was rather disappointed about being able to wear only a few times the pair of fab Casadei booties (4.7 in) I bought about three months ago, because they are in suede and I didn’t want the no-stop rain we had here in the North of Italy to stain their perfect shade of gray…  

So last Sunday, in order to celebrate this (finally) sunny springtime, I matched these booties with my spring mood and two of my new season buys: the JBrand shorts I talked you about and this floral 3.1 Philippe Lim shirt in silk. I find this shirt has class: it’s very temporary, and effortlessly chic, with a gentle floral print, a tender revival and very trendy this season also for shoes (if you like floral, picking some floral items could be a good idea to make your  wardrobe flavor spring :-)). I completed the outfit with a Moncler trench (easy)and some Wolford leggings. Do you like my outfit?

Adoro comprare le scarpe, ma detesto comprarle per poi non usarle… così cerco sempre di informarmi, ragionare e venire a patti sensati con i miei desideri da shoe addict in modo da scegliere delle scarpe che indosserò con soddisfazione più e più volte e che non finiranno inutilizzate e polverose ad ingombrare il mio armadio... vi ho già accennato alla mia idea di cost-per-use nel mio post dello scorso 2 aprile... Così, mi spiaceva aver indossato solo pochissime volte dei fantastici tronchetti di Casadei, tacco 12, che avevo comprato tre mesi fa...sono in camoscio in una bellissima tonalità di grigio e temevo di rovinarli con le piogge no stop che abbiamo avuto in questi ultimi mesi... :-(

Così domenica scorsa per festeggiare l’arrivo della primavera ed il ritorno del sole ho pensato di indossare i miei tronchetti con due dei miei nuovi acquisti primaverili: gli shorts di Jbrand di cui vi ho parlato nel mio post del 2 aprile ed una camicia in seta con stampa floreale della collezione SS13 3.1 Phillip Lim. Trovo che questa camicia sia molto chic, in modo naturale, senza nessuna ostentazione, con un taglio molto morbido e rilassato ed una stampa floreale molto bella (il floreale è un revival tenero di questa stagione, anche per le scarpe... se vi piace e non l’avete già fatto, l’acquisto di un capo od un accessorio con questo tipo di stampa, può essere una buona idea per rinnovare il vostro guardaroba...). Ho completato il mio outfit con un trench leggero di Moncler (ok, easy) e dei leggings coprenti di Wolford, verso sera è ancora fresco... vi piace il mio outfit?
