How to make your cheap clothes look fashionable

Do you ever go to street markets and rummage through the stalls in search of a special bargain? How many low cost garments have you bought and never worn? Well, it happened to me, because the cheap prices often invite and the opportunities should not be missed. But it’s not always like this.
Low cost clothes could really prove to be a small failure, due to the bad seams or to the shape which is not always perfect. Fortunately there are accessories like scarves, belts, bags, which, if well paired with the whole look, can turn the most simple and anonymous piece into a unique and really trendy item. Do you want to know how? Well, discover it on the dedicated page of the blog, the one about low cost clothes!

Four sporty chic looks you won’t miss

Good morning, dear readers! Here I am, after the two operations that have changed my life in the last 10 days. I missed you, but I was very weak and couldn’t write any posts. Now, after the tagliatelle and the special dishes by my mother, the cappelletti by my friend Gra, I’m no longer a zombie and finally I’m here, sitting in front of the computer, to torment you with what is blowing in my head. Sporty chic, this is the topic of today, a comfortable and elegant style that for me in these days is a real necessity, since my belly does not get along with my beloved, shrink to fit, faux leather pants. This style is truly unique, perfect for the over 40 woman who is always running and splashes every day like a rocket towards a super-challenging day. And if there is a way to do it with a suit in a refined and special fabric, with fantastic sneakers, well, we are all happier. … Discover the sporty chic looks at the dedicated page.

Autumn Winter 2017/18 colour trends

Red, yellow, blue and green are some of the autumn winter colour trends, in the brightest shades that seem to contrast with the grey of the colder days. Like they’ve came out from the palette of a capricious painter, who is anxious to use deep and bright colours and leave the shades we were used to, like brown, black, white and grey, behind. I must admit that at first, I was really shocked, I didn’t like at all those colour trends, especially in this time of the year when I usually behave like the natural light, in a more softly manner, that leads me to look for pastels or faint colours. And I couldn’t bear the idea of changing a whole wardrobe. Thus, I finally decided to follow a more moderate way, the one that doesn’t waste all my savings and leads to smaller investments, those in accessories which are closer to my idea of colours in full winter. It could be a bag, a scarf, a belt, or a jewel… Keep on reading at the dedicated page about the colour trends.
Animalier spotted, yes or no?

When I was about 20, 25 years old, my friends and I used to criticise those women who wore anything similar to the coat of wild animals and we sentenced them to the circle of hell for “those who liked excess and were over a certain age”, that is to say the women that began to adorn themselves with showy accessories at every new lit candle on the cake. On my 35th birthday, a spotted foulard by D&G came out of a present, whose wrapping was spotted too. … Keep on reading at the dedicated page to animalier prints.
A beautiful hat

There’s a department store in the town of Rimini, where I used to go with my schoolmates, when the lesson finished before due time because the teacher of the last hour was absent. Among the departments we couldn’t miss there were the makeup and the hats. The last one was my favourite because I found it funny: as a volleyball player I used to wear sports outfits all days and the only makeup item I liked wearing was a lip gloss. My dear friend Nico, who has always had good taste in clothing, would bring me to the hats department and there we usually enjoyed ourselves, trying on any type of hats. … Keep on reading at the dedicated page to the the hat.
The foulard, how to wear it without strangling yourself

I love the foulard. I really go crazy about everything that wraps my neck … maybe you’ve already read it in one of my posts. It’s the touch of personality that signs the outfit. And I’m very sensitive to the cold. That’s why I need foulards and scarves… but also the countless colours and fabrics they are made of!!! It really seems that beauty has the upper hand over health. Who would have thought it? And unfortunately, in my closet, there’s always one missing … the Perfect one. Maybe it’s hidden under the huge stack of its brothers, maybe I’ve not met it in any shop windows yet. But when I find it, I’ll have to be able to wear it with style. Yeah, but how do you wear a foulard? I hope you won’t think of turning it simply around your neck! To avoid any strangulation of style and instead to give the right respect to the features of that object of desire, including the unique printed design and the precious fabric it is made of, which drove you to squander a part of your salary, I thought I could share some useful tips with you.
