Dress your best - Day 1

The first feature I decide to play, for Dress your best week, were my eyes.
It's kind of complicated to highlight eyes with clothes - I like to play them up wearing black eye-liner, but this wasn't about make up.
My eyes are very dark, and my skin very fair (I am a light-skinned mediterranean type), so to play up my eyes I decided to wear something dark on top - which would create a contrast with my light skin, hence would highlight my dark eyes. I thought the dark necklace would be a nice complement to the outfit.
Don't know how successful I was... Here is the result:


Shirt - Zara
Top - NY&Co
Arm wrap - random Store in Rome
Jeans - Killah
Boots - Doc Marten's
Necklace - Target

I had to wear jeans and be confortable for band practice. Plus, it was cold and rainy, so my choices were pretty limited...

Tried to take a closer picture of my face/eyes, but this was the best result - it kinds tries to give an idea...

Taking Stock

Image
  After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary. The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day! So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock! Making:  eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven. Drinking : water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks! Watching : videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross ! Reading : Minimalism , by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though! Enjoying : working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even

BDIB - Arm Party!

Image
  This is my second time participating in the Bloggers Do it better series.  This time, the theme is " Arm Party ". And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!
