Terracruda Winery - Spumante Brut Rosé

This is the spumante brut I like to drink when in the Marche province for Vacations. We found it by chance while wandering among the hills between Pesaro and Urbino. Everything is set up in my little garden to taste it at its best: the right flutes and shabby chic table cloths and accessories

"Marche Wines DOC and IGT from Cantina Terracruda born in one of the most picturesque areas of the Province of Pesaro and Urbino. Cellar in Fratterosa. Grapes are vinified to ensure the quality of a wine without compromise. Fine wines that are born in a territory to be discovered between the Montefeltro and the sea" from the web site

If you visit the Cellar, you will be surprised to see how everything is simply enchanting. There is a little tasting corner on the main hill dominating the valley, where you can comfortably taste the wide variety of etiquettes produced and contemplate the landscape from the ample window with a magnificent view.

My new Chie Mihara's Dubi Red shoes

Thank you again Chie for these spectacular, stunning, adorable shoes. They are super comfortable with the hidden plateau, which makes the shoes even more elegant with the addition of the adorning  ribbon in evidence. As it might be noticed, my purchases are almost of the past seasons. My being "on fashion" these times has acquired a different meaning. I believe I am more up to date buying,by saving, the past seasons models at half-price, more than anticipating the fashion mood by buying new models and this for each brand I love. This is all many of us can afford. And, you will be surprised to discover that with Chie Mihara's models, we are always on fashion!

British trend at Portobello's

Portobello road. Rainy day in London, wet as usual, even if in May. No way to walk in a jungle of open umbrellas and to shelter from rain, I came across a stand full of gaiters. I was so curious, as I had not seen them around for ages and not of this kind, that asked to try them on. I was enthusiastic of the effect on my legs so that I decided to get the ones in this pic. How British! 

Autumn Outfit in green: Zara dress, Borini open-toe suede shoes and vintage eco fur

Zara seems to have its models cut on real women curves. I am so proud I can wear a 38 that I even dared purchase a pencil dress. It renders the figure slim and shaped. It is so easy with a dress, you just need to add few details which will give elegance and embellish this simple item. I chose a vintage fur, found at Brick  Lane Market, http://www.visitbricklane.org, and a pair of leather gloves, same camel color.

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 !
