Betsey Johnson dress

I keep finding new dresses to wear in my closet, still from my time spent in New York. One of them is this lovely Betsey Johnson dress, a tiny floral printed dress I got together with another one I had already worn in a previous post.
I think it's the perfect lenght for such a tight dress, and the chiffon belt can be tied up on the front or on the back. Betsey Johnson is an american fashion designer well known for her very feminine, extravagant, colored style, and her love for pink. I like her style and I remember spending an awful lot of time into her flagship store !.


Continuo ancora a trovare nuovi abiti da indossare nel mio armadio, risalgono al periodo trascorso a New York. Uno è questo adorabile abito di Betsey Johnson, a fiori, che avevo comprato insieme ad un altro abito a rose blu già indossato in un post precedente.
Credo che la lunghezza per un vestito così aderente sia perfetta e la cintura di chiffon può essere legata sia sul davanti che formare un fiocco sul retro dell'abito. Betsey Johnson è una fashion designer americana nota per i suoi abiti ultra femminili, spesso a colori sgargianti, e il suo amore per il rosa. Mi piace molto il suo stile e ricordo di aver trascorso un sacco di tempo nel suo monomarca !.

Cold weather didn't allow me to say goodbye to tights, at all, so decided to stick to my beloved black tights even wearing new spring pumps from Fabi.
The bracelet from lafilledesfleurs added some floral fun to the whole outfit :-).


Il tempo ancora freddo non mi ha concesso di abbandonare le calze, così ho confermato il mio amore per le calze coprenti anche se le ho abbinate a scarpe nuove, primaverili, di Fabi.
Il bracciale di lafilledesfleurs ha aggiunto un tocco floreale all'intero outfit :-).


The nail polish I am wearing is a pumpkin color from a new brand, MTJ, I have found a shop in Sorrento that sells it and I have bought a few things: 3 nail polish, 2 blushes and one lipstick.
The quality of this brand seems excellent, I wanna show them to you and I think I will do it in one of my next posts !.
In the pics I am sticking to one of my fave orange lipsticks ever from YSL. I have found out that I like wearing orange lipstick even without a tan, I think it adds glow to the whole face. Do you own or use orange lipstick ?.


Lo smalto che porto è un color arancio zucca di una nuova marca, MTJ, ho trovato un negozio a Sorrento che vendeva questi prodotti e ho comprato qualcosina: 3 smalti, 2 blush e un rossetto.
La qualità di questi prodotti sembra eccellente, voglio parlarvene presto, in uno dei miei prossimi post !.
Nelle foto ho sulle labbra uno dei miei rossetti arancioni preferiti di YSL. Ho scoperto che mi piace usare il rossetto arancio anche senza abbronzatura, credo dia luce all'intero incarnato. Voi avete o adoperate rossetti sull'arancio ?.

Lady in Mint


I am back home after my Easter holidays in Sorrento. The surprise I got in my Easter egg was so much, too much rain !. In one of the few moments of not rainy weather, I dared dressing like a Lady in mint, mixing some of the trends of the season: a peplum skirt from Zara, a lovely contrast collar shirt with dots from Romwe, mint colored tights and cobalt blue heels from Icone. I was in the mood for something different and bold !.

Sono tornata a casa dopo le vacanze di Pasqua trascorse a Sorrento. La sorpresa nel mio uovo di Pasqua è stata sicuramente tanta pioggia, troppa ! In uno dei rari momenti di non pioggia, ho osato un outfit da "Signora in menta", mixando alcuni dei trend di stagione: una gonna peplo di Zara, una adorabile camicia dal colletto a contrasto di Romwe, calze color menta e pumps color blu cobalto di Icone. Ero dell'umore giusto per qualcosa di diverso e particolare !.

I had bought that cute bag from Zara a while ago, but didn't use it yet. You can wear it as a clutch or use the chain as a shoulder bag. I wish I could learn to bring less things with me in my bag so that I could use smaller bags more often, instead I am a kind of a control freak that needs everything handy !.
After all, if I cannot influence the weather forecast and stop the rain, I can at least illude myself to have full control by stuffing my handbag !.
I am really in love with this Zara peplum skirt and you'll surely see me wearing it also with a more "normal" outfit, I was thinking about a white shirt, how would you style it ?.


Avevo comprato questa borsetta da Zara un po' di tempo fa ma non l'avevo ancora usata. Si può indossare come clutch o usare la catenella per tenerla a spalla. Vorrei tanto imparare a portare meno cose con me nelle mie borse per poter usare più spesso borse piccole, invece sono una maniaca del controllo che deve sempre avere tutto a portata di mano !.
Dopotutto, se non posso controllare il meteo e impedire di piovere, posso almeno illudermi di avere il pieno controllo riempiendo la borsa !.
Mi piace molto questa gonna peplum di Zara e mi vedrete sicuramente indossarla anche con un abbinamento più "normale", stavo pensando ad una camicia bianca, voi come la abbinereste ?.
