My first Fashion Beauty Friend Friday!



Today I am taking part in my first Fashion Friend Beauty Friday, created by Katy Rose at Modly Chic. This week's questions were inspired by one of her posts.

1. As a someone who writes/blogs about fashion, have you placed yourself into some sort of blogging category?
Not really. I post outfits and sometimes some thoughts on fashion, but I think I am far from being a "fashion blogger".

2. What keeps you from or encourages you to label yourself as a certain kind of blogger? 
 I started this blog just to write whatever came to my mind, stuff that was happening, thoughts I had in a specific moment. A creative place to be myself, I guess. I still want this place to contain everything that is "me", whithout limiting it to a particular cathegory.

3. When picking blogs to read and follow are you drawn to ones that indicate a certain group or way of thinking/being? 
I find myself more and more drawn to blogs about "normal people" - which means, people I can relate to, who have lives comparable to mine, with whom I have something in common. I don't go seeking a particular cathegory, but I read a lot of fashion and cooking blogs, plus some "general life" ones.

4. Do you think there are benefits in labeling yourself or others? 
It's very comfortable: everything seems safer and under control if you can put it in a specific "box". But life and people are much more varied than a label, a label is limiting. I think nobody can really define his/herself only by one or several labels. We are many "things" at once.

5. Agree or Disagree - We're all just people; we don't need all the labels. 
Definitely agree. The world is more fun and free without labels!

I completely agree what you mean about everything being easier with everything labelled. Great post :)

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!
