Italian Trends | Glossybox.it

Glossybox Italia has been recently introduced to the Italian market. I had come across many blogs posting about this cute and adorable little box and its products. At the time it was not available in Italy. This month I recently discovered that the Glossybox trend has taken off in Italy! I do know that many countries offer it, so if you are able to try it out, I highly recommend it.

Today I received the February Glossybox, my first, and it was very exciting receiving it and unpacking it.

The little box contains the following products:

1. Neve Cosmetics|Pastello – Eyeliner

2. Bamboo|Kendi Dry Oil Mist – Protects hair from heat styling tools, adds shine, and strengthens.

3. Prima Spremitura|Shampoo Normalizzante – Olive oil nourishes hair by adding shine and smoothness.

4. Prima Spremitura|Crema Fluida Idratante – Olive oil body cream makes your skin supple and soft.

5. Prima Spremitura|Sapone All’olio D’oliva –  Olive oil soap that nourishes the skin.

Let me know what you think of Glossybox.

Have a wonderful day!

Me Love Jessica Simpson Heels

I have fallen in Love with Jessica Simpson‘s footwear collection!! When it comes to shoes, I love to explore and be a bit daring. Sometimes I like to put on a pair of bright pumps or really high wedges! Whatever I have on, it sure makes me feel special. A great pair of shoes need to make you feel like you are flying! And boy do I sometimes feel like I am flying, I actually start to think that I might be the next Wonder Woman!!

Back to Jessica Simpson’s gorgeous shoes, they come in such a variety of shades and shapes. You can choose from high heels to wedges and much, much more. You will also find solid, vivid, and bright colors. That is what I truly love most about her collection, how she uses a lot of colors. I wish that I could find her line of shoes here in Italy, that would be amazing to just go to the store and buy a pair of her oh so gorgeous shoes.

Here are a few of my favorites that I came across on Heels :

Jessica Simpson Cecity – Plumberry

Jessica Simpson Sheri – Cloud Burst

Roma | Villa Borghese

Today was a wonderful day in Rome. It was sunny and a great day to go to Villa Borghese, a beautiful park in the city center. I really recommend you visiting it when you come to Rome. We decided to rent a couple of bikes and had such a great time! I wanted to share this post with you all cause the sights are truly breathtaking, and so many ideas came to mind while I was there for some great fashionable photo shots!!! Hopefully I will be able to put up some posts soon with some Roman fashion with shots taken in this magical place.  I hope you enjoy the pics and let me know what you think.

Afterwards we headed to this nice little caffé, next to the Colosseum for an aperitivo.

We had a nice prosecco, with orderves and macaroons.

Don’t forget to also stop by here when you come and visit.

Have a wonderful day!

The Sweetest Inspiration

Piazza della Reppublica – Roma

I wanted to take this moment or post to express how I feel about being a part of the Blogger World.

I started this blog to write about the things that I Love and that make me smile. But as I started to read and browse through so many wonderful blogs, I thought, “Wow everyone is so inspiring.” Each blog I have come across has something exciting to tell and express on so many different levels.

I have come across individuals who have motivated me to chase after my dreams. Others have inspired me to be more creative and giving. All this was transmitted to me by the words that I read or by the pictures that captivated me and allowed me to see things in a different perspective.

Thank you to everyone that is contributing to this memorable journey that is allowing me to grow and appreciate life so much more.

“In Bocca al Lupo a Tutti!”

Kurt Geiger Eye Candy Spring/Summer 2012

Finally the moment I have been waiting for!!! Kurt Geiger Spring/Summer 2012 Collection!!!

Kurt Geiger….. My feet have been forever faithful to KG! He is my favorite shoe designer!! I came across his masterpieces back in 2005 and it was Love at first sight! And the best part is that his shoes never go out of style. You can always match it up with something in your wardrobe and look fashionable!!!

You must know that the quality of all his shoes are so worth the extra buck. I usually don’t spend a lot of money on a pair of shoes, but I do make an exception for theses beauties. I believe that sometimes it is good to invest in some quality shoes, especially these!

I love the new collection, it is filled with lovely pastel colors, brights and metallics as well as lots of peep toes. While browsing the new collection on http://www.kurtgeiger.com/, I decided to look at the rest of dazzling shoes on display. I added an extra few below for your pleasure!

Enjoy!

Give your feet the pleasure of meeting Heaven!!

Sprinkle A Little Color Onto Your Winter Heels

Rome, February 15th, 2012

As the sun warms up in the city of the Romans, I start to think of all the shoes I can start to wear! It has been a bit difficult since this fabulous city was struck with inches of snow. But now that it is starting to melt away, it is time to grab a pair of heels and strut your stuff down the Spanish Steps.

It is important for you to know that during the winter months in Rome everyone tends to wear the usual suspects: black, brown or gray. But I am a true believer that colors are not only for the warm, hot months but also for the cold months as well. Some of us stick to more traditional colors and others set the trend and show everyone that a little color in the Winter brings a lot of sunshine to melt those wintery blues away!

Take a look at some of the most wonderful and colorful shoes that I came across on http://www.heels.com/ and http://www.missguided.co.uk/. Each pair is bound to give your wardrobe a touch of sunlight.

Bebe Shoes Clover – Plum Suede

€80.00

Steve Madden Angels – Magenta

€121.00

Shazet Strappy Peep Toe Platform Heels – Green

€36.00

Hanlie Bow Peep Toe Platform Heels – Cyan Blue

€36.00

Balis Suede Platform Court Heels – Orange

€34.00

Enjoy tomorrow’s cold weather with a bit of zest!

Remember adding a little color to those dull winter days can make your day!

FEBRUARY BLUES

Hi Everyone!!!

It has been a while since I last wrote an entry!!! I am so sorry! I told myself that this year I would start this blog and see it through!!!

Rome has been and seen quite a lot this last week. It has undergone a dramatic change in climate. From cold moisty nights to a snowy blizzard that filled the daily Roman life with white crispy snow and a change in wardrobe.

But for some reason this weather has made me very intrigued in a variety of blues! From baby blue to royal blue, I want them all in my wardrobe. As mentioned in an earlier post, I am cherishing and adoring also a variety of dresses. And there so many lovely dresses in the color BLUE!

I highly recommend http://www.asos.com, a faboulous site that carries so many dresses and other fashionable items in this great color. Not only, but you can find a great range of affordable to more expensive items. Whatever your budget is, you are bound to find an adorable item.

I recently purchased the ASOS Lace Waisted Dress with Contrast Lining and I’ve just been notified that I should be receiving it tomorrow!!!!

ASOS Lace Waisted Dress with Contrast Lining – €27.95

ASOS Midi Dress in Soft Chiffon – €29.35
