Milano style

Hello beauties
one of the best things to be in Milano during the fashion week is to see how people express their style.
Classic, eclectic, elegant, dark, sexy or strange everything is accepted during those crazy days. For a part, Fashion is the only reason why they are in the city but for other the only reason is appear, only want to be photographed by famous magazines or only attended shows and events to say " I was here". The world is beautiful because is various :)
I made some pics during Rebecchi and Cristiano Burani shows to people who impressed me the most :)
Hope you will like them!

Massimo Rebecchi fashion show

Hello lovelies
one of the shows I like the most during this fashion week, maybe because he's one of my favourite stylist, was Massimo Rebecchi one.
I went to attend the show with Carlotta and Delfina, my allies during these days in Milano, and we had the pleasure to watch it in the front row. I really enjoied the F/W collection and I made some pics with my brand new Canon EOS M that I like so much.
The collection was characterized by a classic, refined and elegant mood that are expressed in each single seam. The main colors were blue, plum, gray, purple, various shades of green and red with several prints. A few forays into the catwalk for the man who, as always, stands out for class adapted to modern times.
We also had the pleasure of taking pictures with him and exchange a few words … In addition to the great designer as he is, Massimo Rebecchi is a person of extreme courtesy, kindness and sympathy and I had proof that the inner spirit of the designer is in any way reflected on his creations … In fact, what we could see on the catwalk are clothes that do not need to be extravagant, with bright colors, strange shapes or importable to be appreciated but rather are popular precisely because of their portability and extreme elegance.

Hope that you will like the pics even if someone are blurred :)

Look of the day: A green Milano fashion week

Hello lovelies
today is the last day of Milano fashion week and I can't wait to show you all the pics that I made, stay tuned next days for loads of images for you :)
Today I'll show you the look for the workshop with Canon and Camera della Moda where me and my "partners in crime" spoke about our thought about fashion and blogging. 
I made the pictures outside in front of Palazzo Giureconsulti and in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the weather was not so great, it was snowing so much :( So I choose to wear my new Giovanna Nicolai coat matched with my fab MèDusa bag and... boots! I know heels will be better and more fashionable it's not so good running under the snow with 13 cm killer heels even if I had my pair with me and I wore them during the workshop :DDDD
Hope you will like it, don't forget to tell me what your thoughts :)

Daniel Wellington watch

Hello lovelies
sometimes I like forgetting about time... Don't know what time is it and living as our body would love to live... not a specific time eat, only when I'm hungry, not a specific time to sleep, only when I'm sleepy, but obviously when you work this is impossible because life is scanned by necessaries hours.
The first time I saw Daniel Wellington watches I said to myself " Okay, I could also go to sleep with it on my wrist <3 " and definetely that's amore!
Also the story behind DW watches impressed me... Daniel Wellington founder, Filip Tysander, during a trip met a fascinated stylish and relaxed gentleman who always wore a Rolex on Nato straps, named Daniel Wellington. This man, with his class and eternal style, inspired Filip to design his own line of watches dedicated to him and to his love of wearing Rolexes on Nato straps. And DW watches are like their muse... timeless, classy and elegant.
And when I saw this one with pink, blue and white stripes I think I found the right half of my apple... watches speaking :D
Don't you think they are so beautiful? Let me know what you think!

Trussardi My Land

Hello beauties
I was born as perfume lover and addicted and I have a big personal collection. Had anyone read "Perfume" by Suskind? I'm like Grenouille nose:) I love fragrances for man and woman and I use both for me. And okay I can't stop buying the ones I like, do you know if exists a perfumes rehab?!?
Trussardi My Land is at the moment one of my faves and it's dedicated to man. I find My Land very sensual... This is due to citrus head notes mixed with violet blossoms and lavender, strong cuir and powerful woody notes.
Also the golden packaging and the bottle impressed me... Gold like ancient times lived in a modern way and the bottle, designed by Antonio Citterio, is an art triumph. Bottle's lines are framed by a leather band that displays the Trussardi crest with the phrase "Genuine Leather Made in Italy". The shading and nuances of the leather differ on each bottle because are handmade, which makes each one unique and exclusive. 
My Land has six nominees at the 24th Perfume Academy awards and guess what? If you like so much this fragrance as me you can vote for it here or at Coin and La Rinascente corner.
What do you think about this fab fragrance? Let me know!

Eyes on: Gilda Koral Flora

Hello beauties
last year I started a new column named Eyes on where I introduce you to people who impressed me a lot under a fashion point of view. Main characters of last posts were Laura Farrant and Sarah Jones, today I'll write about a 100% made in Italy Gilda Koral Flora.
Gilda Koral Flora is the digital PR of the Heaven of the shopaholics Runin2 and brands researcher. She worked as assistant buyer and communication manager for the best shop in Bari " Mimma Ninni" and she is the blogger behind Thank God it's Friday, that is more than a blog it's G's diary in the fashion world .
I'm so in love with her street style and with the work she does, I think she one of the best fashion-speaker in Italy and she really knows how to rock clothes and accessories.
And, last but not least, she is a beautiful girl.
What do you think about her? Don't you think she's so fashionable?

Hello lovelies

Valentine's day

Hello beauties
Valentine's day is just around the corner... The day of Love and I always thought about it not only as a day dedicated to engaged couples but a day for every kind of love. Dad or mum to child, between friends, to an animal... but we must not only show our love February 14th but every day. My dad gave me a shirt where it's written "Remember to say I love you at least once a day"... the best sentence read, it's a wise truth that we often forget because we live stressful and fast lives and one day, when it's too late, the people of our heart pass or go away we realize how stupid we were. If that time I would have told you, if I would have hug you in silence, if I would have kissed you one more time.
This is the time to act, not tomorrow but today! There's nothing wrong in showing love to people we love...
And why don't give a little gift to our lovers? Here's a little selection of some sweet presents I found on Internet but all things if made with heart are always beautiful <3

Shining like a star

Hello lovelies
yesterday I told that I would love to share with you a big good news but... I need a little more time to tell it :D
I really like sparkling look or accessories that make an outfit shining! They make everything more bright so... yuppieeee for sparkles :D
So past days I surfed loads of online shops and I found a little glitter world that really fascinated me... obviously, yes to sparkle but in few doses, not everythin-glittering-like-a-Christmas-tree :)
With a simple look: big yes to shoes or clutch or jewels with bling bling!
With a brilliant outfit: simply shoes and accessories!
We should be rembered for how we make a basic outfit breathtaking and not rememberd for how we make a clown outfit ;)
Here is my selection of the best bling stuffs I found, let me know what you think and which is your relationship with glitter!

Look of the day: Even in the dark you can find light

Hello beauties
first of all I would like to write you THANK YOU for your comments in last post, you were really sweets and your words made my day <3
Some days ago I found a piece of paper where I noted some sentences/quotes that I liked and, actually, I like them as well so if you read some "strange" titles in my next outfit posts don't worry I've not become completely crazy :) I only re-post them here if I find some connection with the look  :)
The main character of this outfit used for a walk is, without doubt, the Desigual coat ( another Desigual one here ), where dark colors are predominants but are deaden by the red. I really like this kind of coats because are very particular and so I decided to style it with simple trousers in order to not appear "too much", do you know what I mean? :)
Hope you will like it and wish you a great week beginning!

One love

Hello beauties
you know that I always like to write about "frivolous" things that we all love but this time... this time I'd like to write you about someone that I really love so much because I think that together we can change things.
I don't know if you already know the story of Spanish perreras... Perreras are kennels but not "normal" ones, they are lager kennels where dogs ( and also cats)  after 15 days of stay are killed in the most inhuman ways, such as through thrashrings or alives in crematoriums.
I won't publish pics about what I saw on Internet because are too cruel views but this is the first time that I would like to ask you a favour.
Here in Italy there's an association that do its best to save all these poor souls from certain death Una cuccia per la vita. I won't ask you money because I don't wanna enter in your economic life and I'm sure that if you have the chance to do it you will do it, but to share... To share what they do and to fight these deaths. Together we can do it, I really believe it... Like their Facebook page, share on your Facebook wall their campaigns, tell your friends about what is happening in Spanish kettels ( especially Granada Dog House ), Tweet it and if you want search associations in your nation that helps Spanish volunteers.
Sorry if this page loose its happiness, but every day I try to share with you something about me and to show you Carolina's happiest side... but Carolina is also this. This is very important for me... And I say THANKS to you in advance for what you will be able to do <3
Bisous

Une histoire d'élégance...

This is a story of elegance, class and eternity.

In XIX century a young girl, Sofia, grew up in Russian upper class... then she moved to France and married Comte de Ségur becoming Comtesse Sofia de Ségur who is known worldwide, until our days, as one of the most beloved children's books author.

The label Comtesse Sofia is so an homage to this figure of woman full of intelligence, taste, solid traditions never forgetting how be fashionable.
Comtesse Sofia’s luxurious scarves are all made in Russia by Russian artists and all the quality controls are done in France... But these items are not only simply "scarves", they are pieces of art, are pieces that tells stories in every single fiber and the echo of Sofia de Ségur is perceived when you touch the soft material, when you inspire the smell of the fabric or when you watch the quivering colors.
Every scarf is inspired by different places, creates a different atmosphere and tells a very romantic love story, very refined and elegant from one scarf to another. As you know I live in Italy and I was very happy to discover that they dedicate a scarf of the new collection to Italy called " Roman Holiday" :)
And because Valentine's day, the day of every kind of love, is near, these scarves are on sale till February 12. 
I highly suggest you to take a look at  Afternoon on Carmine street because the main colors are red and pink, perfect for Valentine's day :)
Don't you think that they are stunning arty items? Let me know what you think!
