Editorial #3: Of spring, new trends & other stories

So without anyone noticing it, it’s April yet: this 2016 is going fast. However I don’t mind the arrival of Spring: I got tired of padded jackets, of continuous rain, of hats, of wind. It was the time to change air and the wardrobe with it. Obviously we are all running towards the discover of new trends; there is a secret pleasure in the trends discovery: there is who needs to say his own opinion, who needs to show how he/she interprets them, who needs to seem an outsider going against them, but most of us goes to Zara and buys the dress/jeans/shirt/whatever that best imitates the latest trends and lives well for the rest of the season.

Editorial #2: Of resolutions, couture & other stories

I’ve written only two post on the blog since the beginning, and the third one is the second editorial. My constancy sucks, that’s true: I wished to write after the beginning of the new year but two delirious weeks made me lost the sense of time. So funny. However it’s February and I can begin writing again since I have completely disregarded my 2016 good resolutions and since the haute couture has just paraded in Paris, so we’ve a lot of things to talk about.

3 styles for your Christmas decorations

One of the Christmas customs I love more is decorating home. The decorations help creating the xmas atmosphere, but there are a lot of decorating styles you can choose between: here I’m going to share with you my three favorite ones. All images are from Pinterest, one of my favorite social: you can check out my board here.
NORDIC CHRISTMAS Lately minimalism is very cool both for dressing and for interior decor, so if you love neutrals colors, black, white, gray and so on, nordic style is perfect for you:
  • the table is white and geometric, tissues are precious but opaque and candid, at the center there is glass centerpiece with pinecones and white candles;
  • the home is decorated with minimal Christmas tree, drawn on the wall or composed of photos, the garlands are minimal and are hanging from the ceiling and there are pine branches with black and white;
  • Christmas packs are wrapped in white opaque paper whit slim natural or black rope.

Editorial #1: Of fears, dreams & other stories.

The first blog post is always terrifying and all those who opened a lot of blogs as I did know how scaring it is. We are all stuck with the same fear: the one of seeming stupid and feeling completely inadequate. But the first blog post is really embarrassing and all the perfectionists like me procrastinate the moment of opening with tons of stupid excuses such as “the about me page isn’t ready yet” “maybe I could find a better design” or the evergreen one “I haven’t got enough time”. The perfect, brilliant idea the procrastinator is waiting for won’t never arrive; then there will be the last e book to read about blogging, the study of the perfect moment for posting and the social design to perfect. But that’s the moment to stop all this.
