Verde oro
Il gusto del nuovo e del vintage
Have a colourful Xmas!
Oggi, dopo circa 14 mesi dal nostro ultimo incontro a Londra, mi sono guadagnata qualche ora in compagnia di una mia cara amica. La più graziosa e giramondo delle mie amiche, con un vero talento per il colore. Oggi però mi ha sorpresa presentandosi in nero e grigio, semplicemente una rivelazione! Scorci del bar dove ci siamo rifugiate a scartare pacchetti e fare una meritata sosta, tra giri per negozi e chiacchiere a ruota continua:
After this long, difficult winter
Well, I have to say that I've seen better seasons in my life. But now that spring is beginning to warm the hearts and the skin, I want to say good-bye to this long, difficult winter.
The pis you're going to see have been (VERY randomly) taken on the beach on a surprisingly hot and shiny late autumn Sunday afternoon.
BF, casual version.
In general he has a nice sense of style, I think. He loves sunglasses above all, which is very good, so he'll never have the guts to tell me "Did you reall nead new sunglasses?"
One of my favourite coats, which is already 10 years old and which I LOVE, both for its colour and for its model. This winter I've worn it often with contrasting colours, such as orange and yellow. Scarf taken from BF's closet.
Which is my foot? Which is yours?
Last year I've fallen in love with those black, flat shoes which remind me of those tango dancers. They are very comfortable yet neater than those everlasting-but-horrible sneakers. One of my best buys ever, sure.
My curls. They're SO longer that this, now!
When I'm too tired of what's going on, I just think of this boat near the beach but still far from its noise, and everything calms down.
My winter wish list
- a beanie hat (done: a brown wool one, but I'm still looking for a striped one)
- a pearl necklace (I just need to find the time to try on and choose one of my mother's, who's been looking for this moment since I was child!)
- a (couple of) bangle bracelet(s). I saw a pair of beautiful, plexiglass ones (one black, one magenta) last month. But I wasn't quick enough and when I went back they weren't there anymore
- a little black dress. Plain, simple, not too short. Never had one, I have to admit that. (Done: and finding it was even easier than I thought!)
- a plaid tailored coat (done: my bf bought it for me as a xmas present)
- a wool/cachemere v-neck fuxia cute sweater (done: I LOVE wearing it with black trousers, a pair of pumps and black/fuxia striped socks)
- blue velvet peep/lace up shoes (it's so difficult to explain what they look like...but they must be mine, even if they have suh a high and thin heel!!)
- black wool poncho (done)
- black cropped wrap cardigan (done: found a nice, warm one @ NaraCamicie in the middle of the autumn, and it matches perfectly with jeans or more formal outfits)

So, winter sales are beginning and I only have to go and get my dream strange shoes and to look for the bangle bracelets (which I won't find in here, I already know that). This could be good for my wallet. But it isn't, it really isn't: I'll end up buying(spending) too much, I feel it.
