Those iconic red lips
1:10 AM
Hi guys! When we want to make a statement we could certainly go for a sparkly pair of Louboutin or a diamond necklace but if you want to play on a budget you can choose something to accessorise your smile: the perfect iconic red lips!
There are lots of make up brands out there so I thought to give you some tips on which lipsticks to choose: these are the ones which are said (and I approve) to be the best!
Sephora rouge cream lipstick - red 04

Rimmel Kate lasting finish

Mac - ruby woo
www.maccosmetics.com
YSL Rouge Pur Couture - golden lustre

Tom Ford - cherry lust

Sinner 90 percent pigment lipstick

Hope you find this useful! Let me know in which occasion you will be wearing those bright red lips!

Healthy Gelato!
11:46 PM
We all love ice cream, or being Italian I should properly call it gelato! It really satisfies any sweet cravings but of course it's full of sugar, milk and sometimes even gluten.
I decided to try a recipe to make a healthier dairy and gluten free version of it and share it with you! Here it is, it's unbelievely simple and only contains 3 ingredients. It makes one cup of gelato so you can calculate the proportions if you need to make more!
1 banana, chopped and frozen
2 teaspoon of row almond, peanut or pistachio butter
chocolate chips
All you have to do is blend them together with a powerful blender and the gelato is ready! Make sure you keep it in the freezer.
This is the plain version of it, if you want a little bit more flavour you can feel free to add cinnamon, melted chocolate, Greek yogurt, chopped nuts, berries or anything really!
Hope you enjoyed, let me know in the comments!

Healthy lunch/dinner ideas!
1:14 AM
Hi guys!
Lately I've been trying to eat healthier and choose types of food which provide more energy and give a boost to my metabolism!
Being aware of the different proprieties of the food we eat is really important and can help you from avoiding mistakes you don't even know you're making.
I decided to show you a few ideas which are both lunch and dinners that I've been eating lately: I tried to make them as healthy and balanced as possible!
Salads ideas:
1. boiled spinaches, avocado, stir fried yellow peppers and tuna
Steamed shrimps, egg whites omelette with pepper and nutmeg, avocado and a slice of whole grain bread
Cooked surimi, stir fried shrimps with parsley and boiled Brussels sprouts.
I hope you found this post useful and that you can be a bit inspired by my ideas!

Salads ideas:

2. boiled spinaches, stir fried cherry tomatoes, avocado and cooked surimi with a sprinkle of parsley
Steamed spinaches mixed with egg whites and tuna and a side of stir fried mushrooms with onion and parsley
Egg with mushrooms and parsley and a side of oven baked asparagus and green beans
Stir fried red peppers and tomatoes with one egg with tuna on top
Whole pasta with homemade sauce: yellow peppers, tomato sauce, one melted anchovy, a few drops of aromatic vinegar, a bit of sea salt and olive oil to cook.
Optional: I also made a topping sauce to add more proteins to the whole meal! It's totally optional! You can make it with a bit of margarine, one teaspoon of cheese of your choice (I used fresh italian parmisan cheese but you can use any other cheese or tofu), two table spoon of any milk of your choice and a bit of sea salt and nutmeg. If you want it to be a bit more creamy you can add one single tea spoon of whole or plain flour (make sure to sift it out).

Fashion thoughts: from past to future
5:29 PM
Hi guys!
The other day I was thinking about some old fashioned memories that came in my mind after watching the style changes which happen these days.
Do you remember when our mothers or grandmothers told us not to throw away clothes because "maybe they will come back in fashion"? It happened all the time to me!
What we all used to do was probably throwing them in the bottom of a drawer and forgetting about them.
But of course, fashion industry is so unpredictable that decided to revive piece of clothing that we would have never thought to be even close to be seen around again. Just think about skater skirts, bow ties, sneakers combined with smart dresses and, expecially for us 90's kids, crop tops and bell-bottom pants!
I personally love this way of getting inspired by the past while creating the style of the present and the future; it's like adding a new story to every piece of clothing.
I've always liked wearing my mother's or my grandmother's clothes because it almost felt like wearing a piece of them and a piece of the experiences, laughs and emotions they lived and felt while wearing them.
As I once read in a book, it's like wearing the dress who has been to the ball and in which somebody danced all night.
Fashion is something that you can only live and create and you can't really explain but I think that keeping a piece of the past in some of our beautiful and new style ideas of the future will make them even more meaningful; at the same time I think that beside them there are fresh, unique, and more and more creative styles which have to be in the front row as well! They keep us from getting bored and from having lack of originality!
I got inspired doing a couple of moodboards for a scholarship contest, so I decided to share them here too! As you may notice one of them has personal pics taken by my family or by me!
Hope you enjoyed and let me know what you think of fashion revivals and which ones are your favourite!

LACE DREAM
11:16 PM
A super super quick post uploaded from my iPhone just to show you the lace dress I am wearing to my close friend's party.
I wanted to keep it simple but classy so I dressed it down with a pair of ankle booties and then wore a chain necklace!
I was feeling romantic so I decided to braid my hair and wear a really natural make up!

My old Polaroid :)
1:46 PM
This morning I was trying to decide which new camera to buy and I started thinking about my old Polaroid: I remember when my brother and I were little and we used to take photos of everything with our Polaroids and hang them around the house.
Hope you're having an amazing start of the week, remember to start every day smiling!

DIY CHANEL ESPADRILLAS!
4:27 PMHello! Today I have a DIY project for you: in the past months I've been loving all the espadrillas by Chanel, expecially the black ones with the straw sole and the leather logo and I thought they were funny to make! So here you find the tutorial step by step!
- Get a pair of espadrillas which are similar to the Chanel ones that you like the most
(local store, 15 €)
- Take a piece of fake leather and cut out two Chanel logos
-Do the same thing on a really thin fabric and make some fringes around the border to give a distressed effect
-Now sew them with the leather ones
-Glue them on the espadrillas with a hot glue gun
Et voilá!
Hope you enjoyed!
