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…)

An Outfit in the Middle of the Snow

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).

Vintage Wonders: My Moon Boot

Since ’90s are back, I had to show you my old pair of Moon Boot that I had to wear today, since I am in Italy these days and it’s endlessly snowing. These mountain boots generated a real craze in the beginning of the ’90s, and since then they became some of the most loved brands of boots for skiers and mountain lovers. At that time I just didn’t want a “common” type in just one colour: I wanted the most different, most colourful ones! (I’ve always been a very simple person since forever). And so I did find what I wanted, and I’m absolutely surprised, I must admit, now that I’m getting them out of the closet, that they are perfectly on trend for this season in an aztec graphic, one of the print trends of this winter and for the upcoming Spring 2012. Don’t they look awesome? They always make you feel like an astronaut stepping on the moon when you wear them, and they are still as comfortable as I remembered! Here’s their website, in case you are in a renewed Moon Boot mania like me

Poiche’ gli anni Novanta son tornati di moda non potevo non farmi vedere i miei vecchi Moon Boot che ho dovuto indossare oggi, dato che mi trovo in Italia in questi giorni e sta nevicando senza fine! Negli anni ’90 questi doposci avevano scatenato una vera e propria mania, e da quel momento sono diventati alcuni dei marchi piu’ amati per chi scia e ama la montagna. All’epoca io comunque non volevo accontentarmi di un modello “comune” in un solo colore: volevo il piu’ diverso e il piu’ colorato (la solita personcina semplice). Cosi’, dopo averli trovati, ora mi ritrovo sorpresa a rivederli tirandoli fuori dall’armadio, e a scoprire che sono in una stampa aztec, uno dei trend di questo inverno e della primavera del 2012. ..Non sono fantastici? Ti fanno sempre sentire come un astronauta che mette piede sulla luna quando li indossi, e devo dire che sono ancora comodissimi come ricordavo. Qua c’e’ il loro sito, in caso, state ripiombando nella Moon Boot mania come me

The right way to wear them in the city when temperatures are arctic is with leggings, a big faux fur and a nice hobo bag to hold everything we need during these – very comfortable – winter expeditions on the way to work..

Quando in citta’ le temperature sono artiche l’ideale e’ indossarli con leggings, una grossa pelliccia (finta, ovviamente), e una bella hobo bag per contenere tutto quello che ci serve in queste -comodissime- spedizioni invernali verso il lavoro..

Merry Christmas Everybody!!
