Like Kate Bosworth, I like to match a floating pleated skirt with a jersey tee and sporty platforms. I often dress like this, it’s a bit romantic, a bit casual, oh wow it’s really sunny today and I’m still wearing yesterday’s necklaces. It’s a nonchalant look that finds the last touch in the details. The chained mini bag, the tortoiseshell big sunglasses, the thin necklaces and the berry colours of the straps on the trainers.

E’ bello il mix di Kate Bosworth di gonna plisse’ fluttuante con tshirt di jersey e trainers con platform. Spesso anche io vesto cosi’, un po’ romantic, un po’ casual, ma quanto sole c’e’ oggi e ho ancora addosso le collane di ieri. E’ un look nonchalant che trova il tocco finale nei dettagli. La mini bag con catena, gli occhiali con montatura tortoiseshell, le catene sottili e i colori di bacche degli strappi sulle scarpe.

Here’s a set to get the look:

Ecco il set per chi vuole un look dello stesso stile:

Zara pleated skirt, Ash trainers, Chloé mini bag, The Row tortoise shell cat eye sunglasses available at ssense.com, Lord & Taylor 14kt. yellow gold pendant.

Gonna plisse’ di Zara, trainers Ash, Chloé mini bag, occhiali da sole in tortoise shell di The Row da ssense.com, ciondolo in oro giallo 14 carati di Lord & Taylor.

Photos I took at the Vintage Market (“Mercatino dell’Antiquariato”) in Milan (on Alzaia Naviglio Grande and streets nearby, last sunday of every month) and Alice (last photo), vintage lover.

The “Local” Tip: Some stall holders may shout at you telling you you can’t take pictures.. Don’t get too worried and take a couple quick shots: there’s not a specific reason for them doing it, they’re old and not use to the modern life and don’t understand at all how much their business could be helped by your images the internet!

Foto dal Mercatino dell’Antiquariato a Milano (si trova in Alzaia Naviglio Grande e nelle stradine adiacenti l’ultima domenica di ogni mese), e Alice (nell’ultima foto), una vintage lover.

Il consiglio da Local: Alcuni venditori alle bancarelle potrebbero intimarvi di non fare foto.. Non preoccupatevene e fate un paio di scatti veloci: non c’e’ una ragione specifica per cui lo fanno, sono solo un po’ anziani e slegati dalla vita moderna e non capiscono quanto potreste aiutare i loro affari con le vostre immagini su internet!

Festival season is almost there! in April the legendary Coachella will have an awesome (it really sounds so from the line up) 2012 edition, and I’ll post here and there some inspiration for your outfits (.. Because you’ll go to one at least, right?). A large, cozy and not too warm (supposively you’ll dance and sing and walk around) sweater is a passe partout for every festival. It will keep you warm in the english muddy festival weather or when the sun goes down while the bands are playing (.. I can’t wait for this moment!). Today I’m showing you some photos I took the other day of some grungy pieces at Brandy & Melville in Milan: american flag sweater and shredded denim shorts. They do a bit of Kate Bosworth at the last Coachella, plus this season’s grunge mood. This look goes with hi tops sneakers or suede mocassins, friendship bracelets and sunglasses with a thin line. ..And you, have you already chosen your style inspiration for next summer’s festivals?

Festival season is almost there! Non vedo l’ora. Ad Aprile sara’ il leggendario festival di Coachella ad aprire le danze con una grande (lo dico perche’ dalla line up e’ proprio questo che mi aspetto) edizione del 2012, ed io postero’ qui e la’ alcune Inspirations per gli outfit (..Perche’ andrete almeno ad un festival nei mesi a venire, no?). Una larga, comoda e non troppo calda (perche’ si suppone che ballerete, canterete, e camminerete su e giu’) maglia e’ un vero passe partout per ogni festival. Vi terra’ al caldo nel melmoso clima dei festival inglesi o quando il sole tramonta sulle band che suonano (.. Non vedo l’ora!!). Qua sotto potete vedere lacune foto che ho fatto l’altro giorno di alcuni pezzi grungy da Brandy & Melville a Milano: maglia con bandiera americana e shorts strappati di denim. Fanno un po’ Kate Bosworth all’ultimo Coachella, aggiungendo il mood grunge di questa stagione. Questo look si completa con stivali-mocassino o sneakers alla caviglia, friendship bracelets e occhiali da sole dalla linea leggera. ..E voi, avete gia’ scelto la vostra ispirazione per i festival della prossima estate?

Both graceful and charming animals, light and nonchalant of gravity, they can be found this spring not only in the lovely weather, but also as prints on dresses and accessories.

Entrambi animali affascinanti e pieni di grazia, leggeri e noncuranti della gravita’, si trovano questa primavera non solo a prendere il bel tempo, ma anche stampati su abiti e accessori

Below, photos I took today of my bird ring in white and yellow gold: it has been made from the shape of a cheap ring I really liked and that got all ruined. My parents found a jeweller that could redo the same ring in gold.. If you wonder why they cared this much to do so, it’s because they call me “little bird”.

Sotto, un po’ di foto che ho fatto oggi al mio anello con un uccellino in oro bianco e giallo: e’ stato ricavato dalla forma di un anellino di scarso valore che mi piaceva molto e che col tempo si era tutto arrugginito. I miei genitori hanno trovato un gioielliere che rifacesse lo stesso anello in oro.. In caso vi chiediate come mai si sono presi cosi’ a cuore questa storia, e’ perche’ mi chiamano “uccellino”.

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).
