 26 weeks






Last weekend it was incredibly hot here in northern Italy. We spent Sunday afternoon in Arona, by Lake Maggiore.
We had coffee in the amazing restaurant were we got married… it was so romantic…. Everytime I’ll go there, a little tear of emotions show up. It was the best day of my life and I could not help having overwhelming feelings of love, joy, fun, sweetness and magic!

I am 26 weeks and the size of my belly is still small (not complaining at all!). I am doing great and couldn't be happier!

I am pretty busy these days. As usually is in my crazy, happy life.
Therefore I haven't yet show you my Valentine's day outfit.
I would call this my 'bodycon' dress. Which I wore with super high heels, a camel coat and a clutch.
Jewellery were just one diamond necklace
(and of course engagement and wedding ring).
 

 

 How did we celebrate this special day?
well, special for us as this was the first Valentine's day as a married couple...
He treated me with:
breakfast in bed with fresh croassaint
sweet at lunch
flowers
romantic dinner at a castle

I was looking for an incredible pair of shoes for my wedding and this was one of my favourite choice.

But as I got married in July and temperatures would be quite high here in Italy, I thought a pair of rubber shoes would not be so comfortable to be wear all day.

Neverthless, they are amazing! Don't you think?



best time ever

8.00 AM, quiet lake, warm weather, smell of flowers, happiness all around!


I am a woman on a mission!

Thursday, 7 July 2011



Sunday was the perfect Summer day! Not too hot, the skirt was clear blue and everywhere there was a blooming of vegetation. We spent the day at the lakes (we have 7 around, yes, 7!) and here I am in Lago di Comabbio.

Domenica scorsa era un perfetto giorno d’estate: non troppo caldo, un brillante cielo azzurro, e dovunque una rigogliosa vegetazione. Abbiamo trascorso la giornata ai laghi (ce ne sono 7 in zona, si, ben 7!) e qui sono sul lago di Comabbio.



What I was wearing:

H&M dress,
Dulce Rubio wedges (wore here),
Elena Mirò handbag,
Bijou Brigitte sunnies,
Guess bracelet watch




Yes, but what were we doing at the lake not wearing a swimsuit or doing sports?
Well, we’re searching for the perfect wedding location!!! YES, we are going to get married next year (no date set yet but it will be a Spring wedding). All keep you posted with news.

Si ma, cosa stavamo facendo al lago, visto che non indossavamo un costume da bagno e non stavamo praticando nessuno sport?
Eravamo alla ricerca di un luogo da sogno per il nostro matrimonio! Si, ci sposeremo l’anno prossimo (non abbiamo ancora una data ma sarà in Primavera). Vi terrò informati con le novità.








I have accessories in tune of today's mission! Primark white flower ring, white BlackBerry, white Elena Mirò handbag

Love is in the air...

A few weeks ago, my best friend Samatha got married in sunny and warm Tuscany. B/f and I have spent three days sightseing, helping the bride and her family and enjoy the nice life.

To keep thing short, I'd like to share with you my wedding outfit. I was meant to splurge on a fantastic dress but as I do not have any other wedding to addend this year, I chose something I could wear again.

This is an H&M dress, with a tulip skirt and an elestic waist band. Very comfortable and light, perfect for the hot weather. I've match it with this short sleeve jacket (tupertu) with this lovely stones details and a bun. Matching sandals (C&A) and fashinator and clutch (Accessories). Perfume Dreaming by Tommy Hilfiger and Smile (mine).


Qualche settimana fa si é sposata la mia carissima amica Samantha. Un matrimonio celebrato nella bellissima e soleggiata Toscana. Paolo ed io abbiamo bighellonato 3 giorni, aiutato la sposa e la sua famiglia con gli ultimi preparativi e ci siam goduti un po' di relax.

Senza starvi a raccontare tutto, voglio farvi vedere come ero vestita alla cerimonia. Volevo puntare su un vestito grandioso, ma non avendo altri matrimoni o particolari eventi da festeggiare quest'anno ho optato per un vestito da poter riutilizzare, che con i giusti accessori potesse fare una bella figura al matrimonio.
Il vestito é di H&M, con la gonna a tulipano, cintura elastica in vita, una generosa collatura sia davanti che dietro.

Comodo e fresco, perfetto per la calura di quei giorni. Ho messo una giacca a maniche corte con pietre sul collo e al posto del bottone un fiocco (tupertu). I sandali hanno le stesse pietre della giacca (C&A), il fashinator e la borsetta sono di Accessories. Il profumo é Dreaming di Tommy Hilfiger e il sorriso é mio.

Qui con il mio amato, bellissimo, adorabile, dolce futuro sposo o , se preferite, fidanzato, Paolo.



















Samantha wore an amazing wedding dress from Demetrios International. Her friend Wendy, an incredible and talented dressmaker added her personal touch. Infact the vintage veil (that belonged to Samantha's mothers) was gently cleaned and restored by Wendy. Swarovski crystals and sequins were hand sewn to emphasis the lace pattern. In addition, another layer of tulle with hand cut edging was attached at the crown to add volume and to update the style.

Wendy's design skills have been used by TV and theatre productions and bridal shops across the UK, check on her web site!


Samantha indossa un meraviglioso abito di Demetrios International. La sua amica Wendy, stilista e sarta talentuosa e unica ha curato personalmente il restauro del velo che apparteneva alla mama della sposa. Sono stati ripresi i ricami aggiunti a mano dei cristalli Swarowski e aggiunto un secondo velo che sottolienasse il volume e aggiungesse un tocco più moderno.

Wendy realizza o rinnova abiti di nozze ma non solo; ha lavorato per il teatro e la TV realizzando esclusivi abiti per gli spettacoli più acclamati della Gran Bretagna, visita il suo sito!

What a marvellous Saturday at the lake (Maggiore)!
The air was crisp but the sun was warm and soft.
Winter colours have amazing shades of blue and camel with splashes of green.
Hope you'll enjoy the landscapes.

The Sartorialist

Nop! we have not yet set a wedding date. But why should I wait to start looking at wedding dresses?

How fun can this possibly be?

Here is what I am looking for:

  • nothing that look like I am wearing a meringue oris too big (I am already big)


  • maybe something that with few changes I would wear again


  • pure white for sure


  • something simple and stylish (as I want to focus on accessorises)



  • what kind of dresses did you wear for your wedding or would like to wear?
