In fact today is the second day of Bookcity, but it is the first for me. I remember last year it was raining cats and dogs and elephants, all the three days of the event. Believe me, it was a nightmare! Also because Bookcity is spread all over the city, and if you have to... Continue Reading →
How to wear a pair on ankle boots you are sharing with your sister. In Milano
I bought these ankle boots last winter with my sister. We were at the Zara main store in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, browsing through the items on sale, and we spotted these boots.

Maybe it is part of being fifty. Maybe it is just me. But after a day on some platform or heels my feet crave for flats!

How to dress when it is very hot, even in the early morning. In Milano
It is quite hot to be only the beginning of June... yesterday evening it was hard to sleep, so hot and humid it was. I managed to sleep, eventually, but I was very tired when the alarm rang! So I chose to wear something light and easy and white. The T-shirt comes from H&M and... Continue Reading →
