Portrait of a lady: Viviana Volpicella

It will be easy for you to spot her in the Brera district in Milan with a pair of Miu Miu heels at her feet, a Prada striped clutch under her arm ,a sun-kiss skin and a beautiful smile...her best accessory.

Fashion for sunny days!

Non c’è che una stagione: l’estate. Tanto bella che le altre le girano attorno. 

L’autunno la ricorda, 

l’inverno la invoca, 

la primavera la invidia e tenta puerilmente di guastarla. 

(Ennio Flaiano)

We LOW shopping: Brogues

Everything has started by coincidence when designers presented during their fashion shows  items stolen from his closet: first a soft blue shirt made of cotton or linen ,then the maxi tee whit his favorite band upon it (memory of a concert he saw a long time ago) , the comfortable boyfriend jeans and finally the brogues.

I'll be your personal trip advisor: Budapest part 2

I hope that today you're not powerless because of the first part of our tour...there are so many things left to see...

I'll be your personal trip advisor: Budapest part 1

A map in one hand and marshmallows to drawn in chocolate in the other one...i'm here in front of my laptop selecting pics and spots to suggest you!

Budapest...two cities in one divided by the Danube slow flow...really close thanks to the bridges which link them but distant at the same time becuase of the clash of past and future.

Eternally suspended between East and West ,Budapest was first a Roman colony and then Turkish...finally it was really influenced by the House of Hapsburg...you don't expect a city like this:elegant and well-kept but detached at the same time.

A real Polyvore set!

Warm and sunny days...hours and hours spent walking and sightseeing , taking picture of everything like a Japanese but back home i realized that i took very few pictures of my clothes...forgive me i'm not a shot great lover and i escape the flash the fastest i can!!! 

However in some photos it's possible to see the outfits chosen for the other day in Budapest!

True voyagers always say "let's go!"

But the true voyagers are only those who leave 

Just to be leaving; hearts light, like balloons, 

They never turn aside from their fatality 

And without knowing why they always say: "Let's go!"

Those whose desires have the form of the clouds, 

And who, as a raw recruit dreams of the cannon, 

Dream of vast voluptuousness, changing and strange, 

Whose name the human mind has never known!

(Charles Baudelaire)

Back home!

Landed in Naples after a flight from Budapest on the pinkest plane in the world...I hope you'll forgive me for my absence, i'll make it up with lots of posts and pictures!!!

Now i have to return to my luggage...someone has to unpack it!!! :P

Stay tuned!XD

Ready to go!!!

I'm going to Budapest for somedays...i'm sorry but i have to leave my blog all alone...i promise to come back with lots of pics, lots of funny things to tell you and maybe some new clothes to show you!!!

See you soon

xoxo 

Raffy

Per qualche giorno sarò costretta a separarmi dal blog...parto per Budapest ma prometto di tornare piena di foto, di cose da raccontarvi e spero anche di vestiti da mostrarvi!!! 

Baci 

Raffy

Save the date!

Put together the resistant nylon and the soft and flexible rubber sole ,all declined in a myriad of colors from sunny yellow to the blue crashing waves of the Atlantic through the golden sandy beach of Copacabana!

What am i talking about???

We LOW shopping ♥ : Trench

Here we are with the weekly column "We LOW  shopping" and this time the main character  is the spring coat!

Leamland

2000 sq to go far and wide in search of the cult piece to include in our closet: Imagine...you walk through stand and sculpture shelves, take the Miss Sicily by Dolce & Gabbana with its white ,summer and innocent lace which reminds us of the trousseau hidden in our grandmother's trunk, you caress that colorful and soft jersey tunic by Misson which is drawing the crowds ,you try those woven leather sandals by Gucci on...yeah that's true maybe they're too high but you will look great hanging out with your friends!!!

Scarf-obsessed!

Summer is progressing really really slowly...a few and shy steps forward and back to hide behind big and gray clouds!
To face this capricious weather there's nothing better than a soft scarf around our necks to match to our trench or leather jackets...scarves do give a special twist to every outfit!
Here you are some pieces of my collection directly from my closet...

Vitamina C

There's scent of summer in the air...our color desire increase more and more and all we want is to enlighten our aspect with an energy explosion!

Orange color comes to help us strongly showing up in our closets...one of the most fashionable colors of this season from bright bold orange to delicate peach!

Suitable for a total look or a simple accent to give a fresh touch to our clothes...Enjoy and taste this fruity color!

There is only one Kate in London!

Doe-eyed, clean face, androgynous body, a casual and detached attitude typically British are her tools of the trade...since 1995 when Calvin Klein chose her as the star of the famous but criticized advertising campaigns for the launch of Obesession perfume.

We LOW shopping ♥ : cross-body bags

You're resting leisurely on your soft couch eating some sweet chocolate and reading your favorite fashion magazines or you're sitting at your desk netsurfing during your breaks... then you spot it: the object of your desire!

Belli ,bravi e made in Italy!

Actors lining up for castings and auditions enclosing their hope in a "we'll let you know"...then thare those who  have made it!

They had their great occasion after cameos and small partes on television...how was it possible??? thanks to their charisma, to their expressive power, to the energy with which they bring to life characters existing only in scripts!

Here you are some of the most talented italian actors! What do you think about them?

Smalti: Full color!

Not only bags ,shoes, eyewear but also nailpolishes become true accessories to change everyday together with our clothes in order to complete our looks!

Nailpolishes in colors from classic reds to subdued one through the vitaminic yellow, green, orange, lylac and blue...to feel rock, glam or classy according to our mood!

Here you are some of my favorites nailpolishes and some wishes hoping that they will be soon in my collection! ;-)

Qui qu'a vu Coco?

Stubborn, free, rebel, determined, smart...Coco Chanel made her name legendary linking it to the class of a pearl necklace ,to the revolutionary charming chemise dress and to a delicate fragrance.

If life gives you lemons then you make a lemonade!

One of the colors that best represents summer is certainly yellow...intense, sunny ,vibrant. it gives a boost of postive energy to every look to be colored from our head (with wide-brimmed hats and vitamin sunglasses) to our toes(with wedges and sandals)!!!

In short wearing outfits which remind us of the sunlights ,even a simple detail, can make the difference and help us to feel in a good mood...ready to shine???
