A Sicilian Summer.

  Getting inspired. 

   Since my recent trip to Italy, I was dreaming of going back this summer. Maybe visiting Sicily, Portofino, or the Amalfi coast...Ah, dreams! Everyone has a right to do them, right? My dream outfit for walking around those places would definitely be from Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer collection. Every year I find myself being amazed by the couple's collection- first it was the flowers and the plaids, then the lace, then the fruits and vegetables... I don't care if they are 'predictable', as many think...I love them! This year I fell in love with the striped fabric paired with crazy, crazy prints (here and here). So, this was my inspiration for this last summer outfit post.

   Tell me, do you happen to get obsessed with some pattern or theme every fall or spring?

   Blues and Jewels. 

   I always liked blue. It was only over the last few years that I realised my true love for it, in every hue and every form. My crush started with the electric blue, continued with the baby blue and was finally completed with the navy blue. It is classic, easily combined and very chic. And for people like me who are not particularly fond of black, it is the perfect alternative. I believe it is the ideal canvas for adding some statement jewelery, without being overdressed. 

   Talking about jewelery, these holidays have been very generous for me, as I got my hands on some trully unique pieces. I enriched my collection with beautiful, beautiful necklaces and rings and I realised (once again) that someone can find little treasure pieces anywhere! Who would have thought this necklace is from Oysho?

   Back to blogging issues, this cold weather makes it rather difficult to be outside, let alone for a proper photoshoot. My  freezing hands are the proof! What I feel grateful for, though, is this pink house that has been a great spot for me and Red Rose Cheeks over the years, as you can see here and here. It has the number 4, like Privet Drive. If you don't know what this is, then congratulations, you are definitely not a Harry Potter freak.

 
   Enjoy this sunny Sunday to the very most!

Ode to Prada.

   After falling in desperate love with anything Prada this season, from the car print crop tops and the boxy jackets to the high waisted pencil skirts and the embellished detail work -if you are wondering how many times a person can stand watching editorials full of Prada looks, well it turns out many!- I couldn't resist acquiring these earrings from H&M. I am looking forward to styling them with something fresh and pretty!
