A little report of what I’ve seen this morning. I’m planning an adventurous escape followed by a roadtrip to Coachella with these two bunnies and the beaver because I don’t like at all to see them in cages. On the other side, I love to see that pink little Smeg washing machine caged in the store, probably because I’ll never be able to afford one (or a flat where to place one..), so I just delight myself staring at it and dreaming of my little kitchen with my pink little Smeg washing machine (note, the store guy today invited me to get in  to take a better photo.. He must have noticed me staring at the fridge a few times from the street..)

Un piccolo report di quello che ho visto questa mattina. Sto pianificando una fuga rocambolesca seguita da un viaggio on the road verso Coachella con questi due conigli nani e il beaver perche’ non mi piace proprio vederli in gabbia. Invece, amo vedere quella piccola lavatrice rosa della Smeg ingabbiata nel negozio, perche’ probabilmente non potro’ mai permettermene una (o un appartamento dove piazzarla..), quindi mi trastullo semplicemente guardandola e sognando la mia piccola graziosa cucina con la mia piccola lavatrice Smeg rosa (nda, il tizio del negozio oggi mi ha invitata a entrare per fare meglio la foto.. Deve avermi notato li’ ferma qualche volta a fissare il frigo al di la’ della vetrina…)

Since here it’s still full of snow, I put together and photographed an outfit for this cold weather.. I hope you like it! (And yes, what you can see under it is real snow.. Wasn’t that easy to get everything dry after this, ouch!) I thought of something to protect from the cold like the white faux fur (vintage @Camden Market, London) and the cat ears hat (Lazzari), but also about the wish of keeping warm at home and treat ourselves: a bit like Alice in Wonderland and a bit like Lolita (lingerie by Topshop and hairclip sequined bow by Orelia@Topshop), with the right accessories to not get lost in this cold (vintage compass @Covent Garden Market on Mondays, London, and faux pink reptyle purse, vintage @Spitalfields Market, London).

Poiche’ dove mi trovo e’ ancora tutto sommerso dalla neve, ho creato e fotografato un outfit per questo tempo gelido.. Spero vi piaccia! (E si’, quella che vedete sotto i vestiti e’ proprio neve.. Non e’ stato proprio un idillio asciugare tutto dopo le foto!). Ho pensato a qualcosa per ripararsi dal freddo, come la pelliccia ecologica (vintage @Camden Market, Londra) e la cuffia con le orecchiette (Lazzari), ma anche alla voglia di stare al caldo a casa a viziarsi un po’: un po’ Alice in Wonderland e un po’ Lolita (completo intimo Topshop e clip per capelli con fiocco Orelia @Topshop), con gli accessori giusti per non perdere la bussola tra i ghiacci (bussola vintage @Mondays Covent Garden Market, Londra, e borsa ecologica rosa di rettile, vintage @Spitalfields Market, Londra).

The Full Versace for H&M Collection: My Picks

Tags

accessories, bags, capsule, chains, clothing, collection, Donatella, dresses, fashion, Gianni, glitter, hm, jacket, jewellery, jewelry, leather, leggings, line, menswear, November, palms, prints, shoes, skirts, studs, style, Versace, womenswear

Here are some of the Versace for H&M looks:

And Here are my picks (note: I had to choose a few because I said picks, but I’d actually get the whole collection if I could, it’s incredibly good and recalling both the contemporary and the heritage Versace classics, from accessories to dresses):

Bags: from left £99.99 and £69.99

Accessories: from top, silk scarves £24.99 each, bracelet £12.99 and necklace £34.99

Clothing: from top, leather jacket £149.99, leggings £24.99, skirt £69.99 and faux fur waistcoat £39.99

Dresses in silk, from left £129.99 and £79.99

Then I chose two very Versace pieces: the black one (£79.99) is really Gianni, it reminds me of the black and gold buttoned and pinned pieces with a over the knees lenght wore by Linda and the supermodels of the 90’s. The yellow one (£129.99) reminds me more of the Donatella creations, especially for the short A-line and the bright lemon colour:

The black ones: the leather one (£179.99) is the iconic piece of this collection, also worn by Donatella in the previews, and the other one (£49.99) is a very versatile piece:

Shoes, £79.99:

I especially liked blazers (this one below is £99.99) for guys:
