White Christmas

WISHING YOU A HAPPY WHITE CHRISTMAS!

Christmas time

Yesterday I went to La Montecchia Golf Club for a Christmas lunch. I ate lots of refined deliciousnesses, especially the dessert. But also the rooms were wonderful, plenty of beautiful Christmas decorations. And I was happy to wear my new dark green velvet dress, short and high-waisted, with some little darts on the neckline. It is definetely my favourite winter dress and I think that I will wear it also for Christmas day.

Ieri sono stata al Golf Club La Montecchia per un pranzo di Natale. Ho mangiato un sacco di prelibatezze, specialmente il dessert. Ma anche le sale erano meravigliose, piene di decorazioni natalizie. E sono stata contenta di indossare il mio nuovo abito di velluto verde scuro, corto e a vita alta, con alcune piccole pinces sulla scollatura. E' sicuramente il mio vestito preferito per questo inverno e penso che lo indosserò anche il giorno di Natale.

Boring afternoon

What do you do when you are at home alone and bored while outside it's snowing? Well, I found the solution taking some shoots by myself. I wore my favourite waistcoat in white eco fur, velvet leggings with high heels boots and a black and white eco fur scarf and I joke with the camera. Do you like the result?
P.S.: Yes, I went to the hairdresser, do you notice?

Cosa fate quando siete a casa da soli e vi annoiate mentre fuori nevica? Beh, io ho trovato la soluzione facendo degli autoscatti. Ho indossato il mio gilet preferito di eco pelliccia bianca, leggings di velluto con stivali a tacco alto ed una sciarpa bianca e nera di eco pelliccia e ho giocato con la macchina fotografica. Vi piace il risultato?
P.S.: Sì, sono andata dal parrucchiere, si nota?

The last show

While everybody's going back and forth for Christmas presents, yesterday I went to Venice for the last season's show in La Fenice theatre. It was an unusual opera from a Daniel Pennac novel. For this event I chose my brand new eco fur with sleeves and neck in natural wool. This makes it less heavy and in the meantime more fashionable. I assure you that I was really warm despite it was a frosty day. For the inside I wore a nice wool dress in green-brown-gold colours with satin finishing touches. Make up in the same colours, handmade earrings, some rings and gold nails complete this outfit.

Mentre tutti stavano impazzendo per le strade in cerca dei regali di Natale, ieri sono andata a Venezia per l'ultimo spettacolo della stagione del teatro La Fenice. Era un'opera insolita tratta da un racconto di Daniel Pennac. Per l'occasione ho scelto la mia eco pelliccia nuova di zecca con maniche e collo in lana naturale. Questo la rende meno "pesante" e nello stesso tempo alla moda. Vi assicuro che stavo veramente calda, nonostante la giornata ghiacciata. Per l'interno ho indossato un grazioso abito in lana in fantasia verde-marrone-oro con rifiniture in raso. Trucco nelle stesse tonalità, orecchini fatti a mano, alcuni anelli ed unghie dorate completano il look.

Cats

Wednesday I saw Cats, one of the most famous world's musical. I was so excited to see the famous Jellicle cats and the show was great, even in the Italian version. Below you can find some photos.
For this event I wore my first eco fur of the season: my grey eco fur classic style. Beneath of it, there was a simple white shirt with a "rounded" cardigan, fasted not with usual buttons, but with a clip used for hair. Trousers are smooth made with raw-wool. All clothes are handmade. At my feet lace-up loafer shoes in man style. Because of the rain I took some shoots inside. Enjoy!

Mercoledì ho visto Cats, uno dei più famosi musical del mondo. Ero così eccitata di vedere i famosi gatti Jellicle e lo spettacolo è stato grandioso, anche nella versione italiana. Sotto potete trovare alcune foto dello show.
Per questo evento ho indossato la prima eco pelliccia della stagione: la mia eco pelliccia grigia modello classico. Sotto, una semplice camicia bianca con un cardigan "rotondo", chiuso non dai soliti bottoni, ma con un fermaglio per capelli. I pantaloni sono morbidi e fatti di lana grezza. Tutti gli abiti sono fatti a a mano. Ai miei piedi mocassini stringati di stile maschile. A causa della pioggia ho dovuto fare le foto dentro. Enjoy!

Warm grey

In this cold winter it's simply great wearing warm clothes, such as this grey wool sweater. It's warm and cool because grey is one of this winter's main colours. Look at my new suede boots and bag: they seem made for this outfit. And they are sooo comfortable!
About the contest: hurry up, it's coming to an end!

In questo freddo inverno è semplicemente fantastico indossare abiti caldi, come questo maglione di lana grigio. E' caldo e di moda perché il grigio è uno dei colori principali di questo inverno. Guardate i miei nuovi stivali scamosciati come la borsa: sembrano fatti apposta per questo look. E sono cooosì comodi!
Riguardo al concorso: sbrigatevi, sta per finire!

Sunday brunch

Yesterday I had a brunch in my favourite restaurant: the Kofler. I ate fresh salmon and tuna: delightful. Here is the outfit for a relaxing rainy Sunday: black turtleneck under a violet wool dress with vintage belt. Simply and confortable, but in the meanwhile chic.

Ieri sono andata a pranzo nel mio ristorante preferito: il Kofler. Ho mangiato salmone e tonno freschi: delizioso. Ecco l'outfit per una domenica rilassante e piovosa: dolcevita nero sotto un abito di lana viola con una cintura vintage. Semplice e comodo, ma nello stesso tempo elegante.

Ballin

About a month ago I visited the Ballin store (what a shame don't have my camera with me!) and I tried this ankle boots: I think that my feet never felt so comfortable in all the entire life! Leather was so soft, instead of  the hight heels (I think 12-14 cm, but the plateau helps!). Anyway I think that they are really chic with the black bow on the back, instead of in front of the shoe as usual. Also the bow is the distinguishing mark of the maison, for sure for this winter. Note the pochettes well mixed with the shoes and the boots in leather + lapin, my favourites. Ballin is an international brand and it's all made in Italy: maybe you could add some items for your Christmas whishlist!

Circa un mese fa sono andata allo store di Ballin (che peccato non aver avuto la macchina fotografica con me!) e ho provato questi tronchetti: penso che i miei piedi non si siano mai sentiti così comodi in tutta la loro vita! La pelle era così soffice nonostante il tacco molto alto (penso 12-14 cm, ma il plateau aiuta!). Comunque penso che siano veramente molto eleganti con il nastro nero annodato dietro, anziché davanti come nelle altre scarpe. Inoltre il fiocco è il tratto distintivo della maison, almeno per questo inverno. Notate le pochette perfettamente abbinate con le scarpe e gli stivali pelle + lapin, i miei preferiti. Ballin è un marchio internazionale, ma è interamente fatto in Italia: forse potete aggiungere qualcosa alla vostra lista dei regali di Natale che vorreste!

Leggings mania

I have to admit it: it's a real mania! Leggings are everywhere, in every colour, fabric and pattern, weared with sweaters and jackets, shirts and boots. They are comfortable, nice, warm, funny and made you look skinny. So why don't wearing them? There is no reason! Which ones do I prefer? But the Just Cavalli ones, of course!

Lo devo ammettere: è una vera mania! I leggings sono dovunque, con qualsiasi colore, tessuto e fantasia, indossati con maglioni e giacche, camice e stivali. Sono comodi, belli, caldi, divertenti e ti fanno sembrare più magra. Quindi perché non indossarli? Non c'è alcuna ragione! Quelli che preferisco? Ma quelli di Just Cavalli naturalmente!

Brocade + fur

When I saw this coat at the f/w 2010-2011 fashion shows I thought: that's wonderful, I would have me too! But it's definetly a dream. Anyway Roberto Cavalli, as one of my favourite fahion designers, never cease to amaze me. Look how the brocade fabric is perfectly mixed with the border fur in opposite colours (in the first photo), or in same colours for a modern/classic look (in the second photo).

Quando ho visto questo cappotto della collezione a/i 2010-2011 ho pensato: è meraviglioso, mi piacerebbe averne uno anch'io! Ma è un sogno. Comunque Roberto Cavalli, uno dei miei stilisti preferiti, non finisce mai di stupirmi. Notate come il broccato è perfettamente abbinato con il bordo in pelliccia a colori contrastanti (nella prima foto), o nella stessa tonalità per un look più classico ma comunque moderno (nella seconda foto).

Country style

Spending an afternoon in the country in this season coul be risky: you could find lots of rain and cold or a shy sun and warm temperature. I was lucky: that's why for this outfit I wore, starting from below, skinny velvet trousers inside leather boots, as properly said modern style. Then, above, a simply white shirt whit a leather belt and jacket with bat-wing sleeves, all vintage. The jacket, the belt and the boots are all brown, like the chestnuts colour.

Passare un pomeriggio in campagna in questa stagione può essere rischioso: si può trovare un sacco di pioggia e freddo oppure un po' di sole ed una temperatura tiepida. Io sono stata fortunata: ecco perché in questo outfit ho potuto indossare (partendo dal basso) pantaloni di velluto skinny rigorosamente dentro agli stivali, come comanda la moda del momento. Sopra una semplice camicia bianca con in vita una cintura di pelle ed un giubbotto con le maniche a pipistrello, tutto vintage. Il giubbotto, la cintura e gli stivali sono tutti marroni, come il colore delle castagne.

EMAs special

Yesterday, as you know, the MTV Europe Music Awards took place in Madrid: lots of stars and singers walked the red carpet, (not) all shining and wearing fantastic clothes. Here you are some of the best clothes I've seen during the evening: surely the award as Best Dressed goes to... Eva Longoria, presenter of this year, that changed clothes at least ten times during all night with dream dresses. A special note goes to Rihanna: she wore a wonderful dress, but was she getting married?

Black leather... and a hat

Great coming back of the leather in this winter! That's why I rummaged in my wardrobe and took out my black eco leather trousers. This is a classic piece but I match it with my new ankle boots (please note the little fur on the border!) and a long wool sweater, all black. To make all less serious I add a borsalino hat with some sequins, one of my preferred hat. So, in this outfit I wear leather and fur, two of the main trends in this winter, and also some glitter on the hat.

Black & white

Sunday I went to Venezia to see an opera in La Fenice theatre: L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti. It was a fantastic and funny show, in spite of the weather: it rained cats and dogs from the morning until the evening. That's why there are no photos of the outside, but only inside the theatre in this post (and sorry for the bad quality!). On this occasion I wore a white wool dress with all black accessories. The only touch of colour is a dark blue nailpolish that seems nearly black. Look at the beautiful belt and necklace: it's all vintage!

Red or not red?

Everybody knows that for next winter red is one of the main colours. But not everybody knows that red is not one of my favourite colours. Anyway when I see this pattern I had no doubts: it would be perfect for a pair of  jeans! Look at the opposite stripes on the pockets: I love them so much! I match them with a simple white shirt under a sweater in the same colour: this pattern is important and it's not necessary adding other relevant clothes.
The last photo is a tribute to the wonderful nature that is often better than human beings.

It's rainy days

In these last days it seems that winter finally arrived: lots of rain, cold wind and low temperatures seem never ending. That's why I found some photos of f/w 2010-2011 fashion shows where artists show some proposals that seem perfect for these days. Maybe someone could think that they are crazy, but what is fashion without a touch of madness?
Waiting for a little bit of sun to make photos of my new purchases, tell me what you think about these "rainy styles".

CLASSIC BY LUCIANO SOPRANI

Animalier trend

When you talk about animalier you mean leopard and tiger prints, fur, lapin, cavallino, etc. And for this winter it seems a great mania all over the world. So, few words about it and look for this wonderful items: most of them are accessories, but there are also some clothes. I love over all Gucci  fur coat, Ralph Lauren boots, Chanel fur bag and Wunderkind hat!

SILK DRESS WITH ANIMALIER PRINT IN WHITE, BROWN AND GREY BY GUCCI

Flowers again?

Today I try to mix animalier print, a "must have" for this winter, with jeans on which I attached some flowers. Note that jeans are clear and flowers are brown dark: this made colours contrast, but in the mean time it's perfect with the animalier print. Don't you think?
It's a wonderful sunny day, unusual for this period, but we have to enjoy it because soon will arrive winter, cold and grey. Thinking about that, yesterday I bought some eco fur to made a brand new coat... Are you in hurry to see it? Take it easy guys!

Simplicity

If you want to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon, relaxing and joking... well, look is important too: you have to feel completely comfortable in your clothes. That's why I wear a striped shirt with jeans and gold sequins flats. To make this outfit less casual I also wear long necklace and bracelet Guess by Marciano, a brand new present. It would be perfect also with gold stuffed flats by Giuseppe Zanotti. I love them!

Flowered jeans accessories

Referring to the flowered jeans post, these are the accessories I find perfect for that outfit: blue leather ankle boot by Sergio Rossi with shoe laces and 10 cm heel perfect with Old School Hobo bag by Guess or if you prefer with Alviero Martini bag. Definitely a dream!

At La Fenice theatre, Venezia

Saturday I went to Venezia (Venice) to see Rigoletto opera by Giuseppe Verdi at La Fenice theatre.
It was a fantastic day: instead of the announced rain, there was a shy sun and it was hot for this season. Even the show was wonderful: it was a performance in a modern point of view of the Rigoletto opera, directed by the great maestro Myung-Whun Chung.
For this occasion, I wore a black shantung tailleur with a white T-shirt under it. Bag and shoes with high heels were compulsory, all in black.
In the end there are also some photos of Venezia and beautiful La Fenice theatre. Enjoy!

Ready to start!

Here I am, me too in the world of blogs. It was a long time since I thought to write in a blog, but now I am ready to start. I’ve always been interested in fashion world and obviously I am a fashion victim. Here I’ll talk about fashion and style, but always in a original way that is Corinna’s way.
For this first fall’s days I wear flowered jeans, an important pattern for this season. I love them because this pattern made jeans unusual and recognizable everywhere. I match them with a shirt and a cardigan in the same colours.
