Long hours

Hi everyone!
How's your week been so far? Mine's been extremely stressful - organizing our event is taking every minute of my (free) time and I've been working all day and all night. Today was a bit more of a "calm" day, which means that by now (10:00 PM) I don't have anything to organize or to prepare and can finally devote some time to my blog. Well, this is just showing you guys my outfit of the day - when you have to run a lot between different places and long hours, comfort goes first. I feel like lately leggings/jeggings and oversized tops are getting sort of my signature look - probably because it's the best way to look somehow stylish but still be comfortable. What do you guys wear for long and demanding days?
Wish you all a nice evening!

Ciao a tutti!
Come vi è andata fin'ora questa settimana? Devo ammettere che la mia è molto più impegnativa che pensassi. L'evento che stiamo organizzando richiede ogni minuto libero e sto lavorando giorno e notte. Per fortuna oggi era una giornata un po' più "calma" - il che vuol dire che in questo momento, alle dieci di sera, finalmente non ho niente di particolare da organizzare o da preparare e quindi posso finalmente dedicarmi al mio blog. Vi faccio di nuovo vedere un paio di foto del mio outfit di oggi - quando c'è da correre tanto e lavorare ancora di più, la cosa più importante per me è essere comoda. Quasi quasi mi sembra che ultimamente tutti i miei outfit siano composti da leggings/jeggings abinati con dei maglioni larghi. Probabilmente perchè è il miglior modo per stare comodi nonostante di portare un look abbastanza "stiloso". Voi cosa indossate per le giornate lunghe ed affanose?
Vi auguro una buona serata!

Sorry guys but I had the weirdest face expression ever!!

By the way, thank you to everyone who subscribed and/or left comments! It really means a lot to me and motivates me to keep going with this. I promise I'll check all of your blogs - with this event coming up it's not easy and it might take me until it is over, but I'll try my best! Thanks a million again!

Lazy Sunday

Good evening everyone!
Everything alright? For me not at all - tomorrow I start school again and I really lack motivation. A part from take-away McDonald's I spent my day at home studying and later watching tv with my mum and my sister. I kind of needed a lazy day before this stressful week starts - on Saturday my prom is taking place and it needs to be organized perfectly. Since it was such a calm and relaxed day I wore also an outfit that is just as laid-back: a pair of jeggings, a comfy oversize-sweater and my black studded lace-up boots.
Have a good night guys!

Buonasera a tutti!
Tutto bene da voi? Da me no, per niente - domani riprendo con la scuola e dire che ho zero voglia sarebbe un eufemismo. Un salto da McDrive a parte, ho passato il giorno dedicandomi alla mia tesina per la maturità e più tardi guardando la tv con mia mamma e mia sorella. Ho passato una giornata calma e tranquilla prima dello stress che arriverà questa settimana causato dal mio ballo di maturità che si terrà sabato. Il mio outfit è altrettanto sciallo: un paio di jeggings, un maglione comodo e degli stivali robusti.
Buona serata!

Stormy days

Hi everyone,
how are you guys doing? I have a terrible cold and the weather outside is rather stormy, so I was most of the time inside. I actually only went out for dinner with my mum - I wanted to wear my new, nude heels, but right before I could step outside the door I noticed that it was starting to rain/snow, so I put on a pair of boots instead, which unfortunately you can't see on the pictures 'cause they'd been taken before, but I posted a picture on Twitter/Instagram where you can see them. Besides that, the outfit-pictures are not perfect at all, I absolutely need to figure out a way on how I can take better pictures. Any tipps? :)
Have a nice evening
xx


Ciao a tutti!
Si, ho deciso di rendere il mio blog bilingue e spero vi piaccia. Voi come state? Io ho un raffreddore tremendo e il tempo non è il massimo, perciò ho passato la maggior parte della giornata a casa. Per cena sono uscita con mia mamma e volevo portare le mie nuove scarpe (che vedete nelle foto), ma proprio nel momento in cui stavo uscendo ho visto che era iniziato a piovere/nevicare quindi per forza mi sono dovuta mettere un paio di stivali più resistenti. In foto non si vedono, ma più tardi ho caricato una foto su Twitter/Instagram. A parte questo, non sono affatto soddisfatta dalla qualità delle foto dei miei outfit e devo davvero trovare un modo per scattare delle foto più belle... Avete qualche consiglio per me? :)
Vi auguro una buona serata e spero di rivedervi presto qui!

What I wore on New Year's Eve

Hi everyone,

first of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I hope you guys had a great evening and a nice start into 2012! I spent the evening at a friend's house together with my boyfriend and some friends - we had great food, lots of drinks and of course also a lot of fun! In the previous post I've shown you guys my new dress, which I ended up wearing last night and this is what it looked like:

New arrival!

Hi girls,

in my town there is just one decent clothing shop and a few days ago, I saw a really pretty dress there which I wanted to try and eventually buy today. They turned however out to not have my size anymore so I tried on a couple of other dresses and came across this one... It doesn't actually look very special when it's just hanging, but once you put it on it's amazing: It shapes the body in a really sexy way. I'm quite sure that I'm going to wear this dress for NYE even if it's not sparkly - but it containes some lace and as you guys might have noticed, I'm obsessed with lace!

How to: Go stylish, comfy and warm through winter vacation

Hey guys!
It's been quite a while again which is due to the massive amount of family get-togethers in the past days - winter vacations are always like this: You eat a lot, it's freaking cold (at least where I live) and you spend lots of time with your friends/family. This is why I thought I'd create these four stylish, warm and comfy winter outfits to give you guys an idea of what you could wear during this period:

This is a very basic outfit, for when you're just hanging out at some friend's place with a nice movie and hot chocolate. As you guys might have noticed, I'm huge on jeggings - I think they are just the most comfortable way to look stylish. This winter boat-neck sweaters and tops are really in, which is why I chose this one - it actually is from Gucci, but honestly, you can find them everywhere! As for shoes, flat ankle boots are one of my big loves, because it's amazing how versitile they are; you can wear them during summer and during winter with really everything! Since it's probably quite cold, you don't want to forget about a nice scarf. This outfit would look great with a long, golden necklace - other than that, I'd keep the jewellery simple. When you go to a friend's house, you want a nice purse, that's not too large, but still fits everything you need - the Speedy by Louis Vuitton is a great choice and talking out of experience I can say that it is a wonderful bag! And last but not least: Don't forget about a pair of nice and warm socks, 'cause I find it kind of rude to walk around in shoes in other people's houses, even when it's cold.

A-lined dresses and skirts are really in this season - and I am in love with them 'cause they're extremely feminine and comfy at the same time. By adding a warm, cropped sweater you not only add a warm layer, but also another trendy piece. I love the way cropped sweaters accentuate the waistline - if you really want to emphasize this part of your body, try adding a narrow belt. Knit over-the-knee socks are sexy and really warm at the same time - depending on where you live you can either wear them on your bare skin or above some tights. Some lace-up ankle boots complete the look - if you want to create the appearance of longer legs, try sticking with the same color as the over-the-knee socks. A beanie and a scarf will keep you warm and add another bit of playfulness to this outfit. 

This third idea is a great outfit for shopping with your girls and also for a date with your special other. As I said, A-lined skirts are very fashionable - if you do however for any reason not like them, you can always go with a short and tight pencil-skirt. I love large stripes like the ones of this sweater - make sure you tuck the sweater into your skirt and if you choose the A-lined skirt, then I recommend adding a waist-belt to emphasize the narrow waist. In order to keep you warm and cosy, you can layer a wool or cashmere coat over the rest of the outfit. For this, I'd wear some normal semi-opaque black tights and above them, some knee-high socks with some playful detailing i.e. bows; this makes your look really unique and sexy. I've already chosen these shoes for another more formal outfit a few posts ago - this time I wanted to show how you could wear something preppy for everyday. I would recommend keeping the jewellery simple but definitely visible, using for exemple a long gemstone-necklace. A nice pair of leather gloves, a big bag and some cat-eye sunglasses and your ready to go!

This last outfit is what I'd wear when it's really cold and there's nothing you actually can do besides staying inside at someone's place playing video games. I chose a pair of simple skinny jeans and a large, warm cashmere-sweater. This is really simple, so to add a bit of colour you could try going with a patterned scarf; here I've used a big leo-scarf. Depending on your preference you can layer a coat or a down-jacket on top - my personal experience is that down is warmer than any other fabric, which is why after many years of coats I've switched back to down-jackets. There's nothing warmer than UGG-boots and unless it is snowing (they are kind of slippery!) they are my No. 1 go-to shoes during winter. Since this is just a house-outfit, I'd avoid too much jewellery - this necklace is perfect, 'cause it's simple and elegant at the same time. A pair of warm house shoes is the perfect choice to look cute and keep your feet warm.

Which one do you like best/is most your style?

Hope you guys have an awesome vacation!

What I wore on Christmas Eve...

Hi guys,

to all those of you, who celebrate it: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I've just come home from my grandmother's house, where we had dinner and celebrated with most of my aunts, uncles and cousins. As always, I really enjoyed this nice get-together - I have a quite large family, so it doesn't happen too often that I get to see almost all of them at once.
In my previous post I showed you a few ideas of mine of how to wear lace on Christmas Eve - here is, what my festive lace-outfit looked like:

Dress: Zara - Cardigan: Mango - Watch: Calvin Klein - Sandals: Stuart Weitzman - Necklace: Tiffany & Co.

Hope you guys are having a great time with your families too, whether you celebrate Christmas or not!

xoxo
