la prima puntata della nuova serie di GG..può sembrare stupido ma avevo giusto bisogno della serata perfetta "gelato e serie televisiva" con un amico. e l'ho avuta del tutto.

Pifebo grows
Hi everyone it's been some days now from my old post, I'm settling down to a new routine so I'm sorry..I was thinking about blogging during a big part of my days, especially since I've found some great inspirations out there!!

this spot is dedicated to my friends from Pifebo (again!) that surprised me in a marvellous way this time when I went visiting their new shop in Monti area.
the first thing to say is that they gracefully adjust to the new neighbourhood changing a little the style of the shop itself from the first one (via dei volsci 101b, Rome).

in this new corner, red as the previous one, you will find as well gorgeous vintage finds with a maybe more chic/ elegant/ stylish/ designed point of view mixed with the entertainment that has always been the specialty here at Pifebo's!
But now stop with the chattering and let's move to the pictures!!





























..and here is where I've fallen in love



...with it



a gorgeous esagonal LANVIN little bag..it was the same red of the walls!!!

so, I hope you'll like some of the pictures, I was so distracted from everything in the room that the camera practically shoot the photos alone!
if you do like what you see and you accidentally come visit Rome :
step 1 : let me know
step 2 : go and have a look yourself!

Day & Night

Some weeks ago weardrobe organized a "Day to Night" contest that really inspired me. Unfortunately I wsn't able to participate but I've continued to think about it so today I would like to present my personal Day & Night point of view:

17 by pluriball featuring Dorothy Perkins

Alberta Ferretti Sheer chiffon tunic
Micheal Kors silk georgette kaftan
Paul and Joe Sister Pollux knitted tunic
Patrizia Pepe ec wool long sleeve tunic
Cream vestale tunic dress by Paul and Joe Sister
Side button tunic by Yuki for topshop
Lime tuck frill silk tunic dorothy perkins
Aqua drape sleeve tunic dorothy perkins


I think Tunic is one of the excellent ideas that recently arrived in our daily fashion. You can choose among so different types (and prices!) that you can be comfortable (see H&M choice) and girly (dorothy perkins's aqua drape tunic, paul and joe's knitted tunic), stylish and (yuki for topshop) elegant (micheal kors' or dorothy perkins lime tunic), chic (alberta ferretti, paul and joe's cream tunic) or even ecofriendly(patrizia pepe)!
you can change from day to night just take off eventual leggins or with a different shoes choice (for me wonderful stella mccartney's ballerinas and gorgeous laboutin!!) and -obviously- matching bags and accessories:)

what do you think about it?

new vintage find

on sunday I was walking through a market


















getting friends with old ladies is so fun. we kinda have similar tastes.

yesterday: Utagawa Hiroshige 's exibition- here in Rome



I was so surprised by the space and architectural organization of the museum, there was a really japanese atmosphere! even the girls working at the museum were wearing kimonos!!
so, today's inspiration is dedicated to kimonos (old and new).

for the find of the day : Anna Nipponica makes kimono dresses using pure silk and the best quality kimono with gorgeous prints. it is a wonderful story between a grandmother and her granddaughter and their outstanding kimonos.





and, finishing, one picture from my trip to Paris last year..

RANDOM

First part of this "random" post is dedicated to WAIST; some selected ones from random -of course- search on the web

I would love to have her waist

probably too small




obviously a 50's vintage must be

and now according to my new label RANDOM a picture found while I was looking for waists..so beautiful I couldn't resist to paste it here even if out of theme
