Jump!



   ❤ Moschino 
  
   Here is my first outfit post from Italy. We found this beautiful spot to shoot our photographs and I thought about trying one 'classic' blogging pose...the 'jump'! Every blogger who respects themselves has done the 'jump' at least once in their blogging life. In spite the lack of originality, I really like the effect of the 'jump'. It makes photos look instant happy, whimsical and jubilant. Still, it was difficult to capture the photographic moment, because of me, laughing about...all the time! 
   I am also holding my lovely new wallet, which I purchased in a small, estimated since 1931, boutique in Siena, Tuscany, named 'Falchini', which made my purchase far more memorable and important to me. I just love it when people compliment on something I wear and I have the chance to tell them "Well, it's from Siena!". It is also an anniversary gift from the man behind the camera, so it is really precious to me. 

 p.s. Have you seen my first streetstyle post from my trip? During the week, I'll be back with more from Italy!

Style in Italy.


Peoplewatching.

   Introductory note: Please, wait  a minute and don't jugde me from this subtitle. I will get back to it later on.

   If you are following Red Rose Cheeks on facebook, you propably already know where I have been the last couple weeks: Italy. Ahh, Italy! What can I say about the beauty of it, the food, the ice-creams, the people? If you have ever been there, you might as well understand what I am talking about. It has this undefined 'aura' that you just feel. On my latest post on facebook I told you (maybe 'warned' is a more suitable word here) that my massive number of photos taken on my trip required a series of different posts, divided by theme. Therefore, we will talk more about Italy in each post. 
   Now, back on that subtitle. I thought of the word "peoplewatching", inspired by the term birdwatching. I thought of it as an alternative outdoor activity. Heh, I am obviously kidding. Or not? Dou you happen to do this? I like watching people passing by, noticing what they wear or how they wear it, and mentally memorizing the details that I would like to incorporate in my clothing one day. I believe it's something of a "Sartorialist" bug, or of any other streetstyle blog. After all, what's the difference between scrolling down and down a streetstyle page and live-watching people's clothing choices on the street?
   So, here it is, my first (of many to follow) post from my vacation in Italy. It is the first partly streetstyle post I have ever done, so go easy on me and let me know what you think! 



   What I loved about style there? The fact that older people were nicely dressed. With their trench coats (we experienced mini showers all day long) and their hats. I loved the fact that they wore hats. I wanted to photograph every person I saw wearing a hat! And carrying an umbrella. And riding a bicycle... I loved that for the first time I walked in an exlusively Miu Miu boutique (you know my passion for this brand!). By the way, did you know that there is a Gucci museum in Florence? And a Salvatore Ferragamo museum? I also loved the fact that women dress chic, wearing simple clothes but adding just one expensive touch , but not in the obvious, extravagant way; always in muted style. And, of course, I couldn't leave out those two sweeties wearing their colourful raincoats, brightening up the streets of Florence!

Shorts ans Socks.



  A bit Chloé. 


   Once I saw these leather-like shorts and the frilly white top, a certain Chloé look popped in my head and I just knew they would make a nice match together. Romantic and edgy at the same time? Done. 
    Cute ankle socks paired with heels tend to be one of my favorite habits lately. I want to enjoy this trend as much as possible, before I take the socks off and enjoy the summer in bare feet! Summer is almost here, yeiii! 

   p.s. Currently rejoicing my vacation in Italy, so please excuse the absence of frequent posting. A post full of Italy is promised to come up soon!

dent' elle ♥



   Romance, fragile lace, polka dots, mashmallow colors, pretty details...if your heart falls for them, then you are going to love dent'elle. A greek fashion brand that is making it's first steps, but with many dent' elle lovers already.
   If you are following Red Rose Cheeks for some time now, you can see why this brand has become one of my favorites. I am propably checking their Facebook page for new arrivals far more often than the regular! I believe that's a great success, especially for a greek brand. We all know that we should support Greek designers when we can. I am not saying "always" because I know that less expensive fashion is available everywhere around- but it is at least equally fulfilling to have a unique handmade piece of clothing that you really love.
   Maybe a dent'elle piece is waiting for you!
