Valentine's day recap

Yesterday the FABruary style challenge suggested to wear lace. Which I did. Only, I didn't take a picture of it, since I left in a rush and didn't come back home 'till 10:30 p.m. I wore the same top as here, only with white jeans. It's the only lace piece I own, both for winter and summer, so my choice was easy!

 

Wow, this picture is from March 2011, it looks so strange to me. And I still own, wear and love all these clothes! It migh mean two things: either I am in a style rut, or I chose my clothes very wisely, so that I love them for years. I like to think it's #2.
So, after a rough start of the day, things got worse when I had a really bad argument with my boss, which made me cranky the whole day.
Things started to improuve when I got home. I found some chocolates with a sweet note from my husband:

So we had some chocolate before going to band reharsal. Then we went out for drinks, and then decided to pick up some pizza to have for dinner.
Once we were at the restaurant we decided to stay there instead of taking out pizza. So we even had dinner out.
By the time we were home I was exausted, but happy.
Because, you know, I have a confession to make: that was the first time I went out for dinner on Valentine's day!

Sounds like the day really did turn around. Your husband was sweet to leave the note and chocolates. :-)

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!
