Winter Suit: restyled Chanel like jacket, black trousers and yellow pump shoes

I had been looking for a pair of yellow shoes for months... These are ochre, more than yellow and perfectly match the outfit put together on a rainy day. Pollini brand, with 2 cm plateau and 2 cm heels.
I found them on www.yoox.com and it was not that easy to find them as it seems that this color is not one of those on fashion for the winter season 2013/2014.
The jacket, Twin-set brand, is a Chanel like one, only, more resembling a studded leather jacket. Detail in the pic below, the marquetry with  flowery black lace which you can hide with a zip. Trousers are Gold Case, crepe for a high waist model with folds on the the front. Perfect outfit to go to work, elegant  with the classic white shirt and nonchalant.

Ice Tropez and Saint Tropez shopping

What a surprise! Driving with hot weather towards Saint Tropez, we noticed a lovely vignoble along the way and decided to stop to have a rest, hoping to find some refreshments there.  We were right, the nice guys of what we thought to be a bistro and was instead a Vinery show room, suggested their new product, ICE TROPEZ. It is a delicious cocktail made of Rosé wine and white peach flavor,  the best to drink in Cote d' Azur. It reminded me of Bellini di Cipriani, our famous Italian drink, created in Venice. 
The windows of the shops in Saint Tropez are originally assembled with stunning furniture elements, however I could not find anything special or trendy for the summer season. The gipsy like fashion is evergreen, no matter if you are a princess or a waitress, gitane you have to dress ! You might wish to check what is really on fashion on Pure, the ultra posh Saint Tropez magazine http://www.pure-saint-tropez.fr

Dolce&Gabbana eye shadow quad - Femme Fatale

Could you think of a more exclusive make up than the Dolce&Gabbana one? Luxury object in your clutch for glamourous events. There are more than 16 combinations available to be selected. The nuance I chose for me is Femme Fatale. The most suitable one for a dark-eyed woman. It intensifies your look and enhances your charme. Maybe because you are aware you are wearing Monica Bellucci's make up? For sure you will have something in common with her, after you will have purchase this beauty object.

English Breakfast - Twinings


There is nothing better than a cup of tea, especially if the tea bag is a Twinings special blend selection. Some of the winter limited edition, among them Rose Garden, my favorite. For a  tea on fashion!

Christmas Gifts Tiffany La Duree Macarons and Crisis


That's the Tiffany's Christmas Tree at Excelsior, the prestigious mall for those rich people living in Milan, who can afford purchasing there. I could take pics, at least. The long queue to get the famous return to Tiffany collection items, in silver, makes these jewels something incredibly precious, even if  not exclusive, as a luxury object should be.
This time I went for macarons: 

you can have six for 14 euro, their delicious flavor lasts for hours in you mind, as if memory was a sixth sense to maintain the perception of the taste. Believe me, it is worth  investing money in the experience of buying La Duree macarons, the sweets boutique most chic in the world. They are exclusive. They come from Paris, fresh and fragrant everyday (yes, I am aware, they are not Km 0, just like the Sacher torte I bought in Bolzan few years ago, that is why, to contribute lowering the impact of CO2 emissions, I have started baking them at home. They will not be french, but you cannot deny they are not original :)

Shopping in Venice and spritz in a Bacaro

                       

What a surprise to find so many stylish shops in Venice! Not only masques and fragile glass objects this time. Wandering along the narrow calli and campielli, in the Accademia's area, just behind the Peggy Guggeneim's museum, I found the stole and the scarf of this pic, together with smaller accessories, like clips and earrings, all made in this boiled wool fabric which can be modelled according to your own taste.
After shopping go to a typical bacaro to have the famous spritz, or prosecco accompanied with the unique finger food (just like the spanish tapas, really similar), we found a really nice one behind the Rialto Bridge area, called Cantina Do Spade in calle do spade 19, San Polo. You cannot miss it.http://www.cantinadospade.it/, we have been told it is one of the oldest in Venice.

Bonya Red - My new Chie Mihara's shoes


I know, we are approaching winter, the coldest season, however I could not resist, I could  not help buying these marvellous sandals., red Christmas I would say!  Just to fight the Crisis, purchased as an exception, as a Christmas present.
At first I had some doubts about the heels, too high for me... However the incredible softness of the sole, fit for my feet, reassured me and I can wear them with nonchalance, at home, waiting for the sun! Thanks again, Chie!
