TOMORROW: TV

 Tomorrow I have to go to Rome to record an episode of   a tv show. The role I have to perform is of a upper class pharmacist, bon ton and snob. The costume designer asked me to bring some outits of mine for that role.

Domani devo andare a Roma per girare una puntata di uno show televisivo. Il ruolo che interpreterò è quello di una farmacista upper class, bon ton e snob. Il costumista mi ha chiesto di portare qualche outfit da proporre per il ruolo

Even though I don't like nylon  tights, on tv they are much better. Those I usually wear (covering) make legs looking like Frankestein's ones!

+

Always wear high heeled shoes on tv, specially if you are 165 cm tall!

Navy blue outfit

dress outfit

Trousers outfit (this is not my fav but I'll bring it as an option if they want my tattoo on the foot covered)

I'll bring with me also a burgundy jacket. They will provide all the accessories, the hair dresser and the make up artist.

I'm so nervous. I hope I'll do it good.

Porterò con me anche una giacca bordeaux. Loro mi forniranno di tutti gli accessori, del trucco e parrucco.

SOno molto nervosa. Spero solo di fare bene.

Stay calm

Stay under a good light

Stay Stylish!

FIVE EASY PIECES

I don't know if it is for the age, the autumn, the will of change, but I feel to be stuck in one of those periods where opening the wardrobe it's impossible to find something nice to wear. Does it ever happen to you? Everything sucks (sorry for the word but it's the only one that can translate the feeling), it seems to wear always the wrong thing , never good for the occasion. Not to mention the big bottom staring at me in front of the mirror, the big belly so big that seems it can talk, the falling arms, and whatever else.


Non so se è l'età che avanza, l'autunno inoltrato, la voglia di cambiamento, ma mi sento impantanata in uno di quei periodacci in cui si apre l'armadio e non si sa mai cosa mettere. Vi capita mai? Tutto fa schifo (scusate la parola ma traduce esattamente la sensazione), ci si sente sempre vestite fuori luogo, mai adatte all'occasione. Per non parlare poi del culone che ci si vede davanti allo specchio, della pancia che improvvisamente ci sembra tanto grossa da parlarci, delle braccia cadenti, e chi più ne abbia più ne metta.
 
So I decided to face this unhappiness with reasoning and asking myself: what is that I don't like? Which style I'd like to represent myself? What can I do to change this moment? Still I haven't found the answers, but for now I'll keep it simple, and I'm sure I'll find them

This is How I keep it simple...
WITH 5 EASY PIECES


Quindi ho deciso di affrontare questa "infelicità" con raziocinio, e domandarmi: cos'è che non mi piace? Che stile vorrei mi corrispondesse? Cosa posso fare per cambiare questo momento? Non ho ancora trovato le risposte ma per ora la farò semplice e sono sicura che le troverò. Questo è come tengo sotto controllo la situazione:
CON I 5 PEZZI FACILI

The slim black sweater: it's perfect with everything and it makes my neck looking longer

a new skirt: over the knees, with high waist. It makes my legs looking longer and my bottom looking slightly smaller. And it is new which make my mood "looking" better!

a male hat: it gives personality

Stockings: they give a new chance to an old outfit

High heeled confortable and shabby chic shoes:  when I don't like what I see in the mirror the only thing left to do is adding 10 cm to that image. At least I look taller!!

Do you have your 5 easy pieces you take refuge in during these moments?

Anche voi avete i vostri 5 pezzi facili, nei quali vi rifugiate in questi momenti?

IS THERE A TIME TO SAY: NO MORE OF YOUR KISSES?

Surfing among blogs I discovered this amazing one: Kissssing. 
No need to say I completely fell for Kissssing...actually I fell for kissing many years ago. That's why I decided to write a post not about fashion, clothes, make up and so on but about kissing. But after all isn't kissing the most -a la mode thing? IT IS!!!

It never comes a time to say: "I'm so tired of your kisses, let's kiss no more". The more you kiss the more you want to kiss. The more you are kissed the more you want to be kissed. It helps in all the tangles between lovers and all the conversations between them should start and should end with a kiss.
The first kiss is something impossible to forget, and butterflies in the stomach the moment right before a first kiss are the best thing ever.
"Give me every time our first kiss, and I'll never forget you..."

Stay Kissing
Stay Kissed
Stay Stylish!

LAMIJA, KEEP ON CREATING!

An other stylist I've been impressed by (always taking inspiration from Vogue September supplement) is the extraordinary talented Lamija Suljevic. This is what she writes about herself: I was born In Bosnia and I had to flee to Sweeden with my family when I was 5 years old, because of the war, We never spoke about it during my childhood and I think fashion design is my way of dealing with everything I went through. I took inspiration from old Blakan traditions, my upbringing, and I felt it was time to tell my story, to create my honest, poetic and timelessly wearable handwork.

Sempre attingendo dal meraviglioso inserto di Vogue September, un'altra stilista mi ha colpito moltissimo: è la straordinariamente talentata Lamija Suljevic. Ecco che cosa scrive di se stessa: Sono nata in Bosnia e io e la mia famiglia ci siamo dovuti trasferire in Svezia quando avevo 5 anni a causa della guerra. Durante la mia infanzia non ne abbiamo mai parlato e credo che la moda sia il mio modo di rapportarmi a tutto ciò che mi è capitato. Prendo inspirazione dalle tradizioni balcane, la mia educazione. Ho sentito che era giunto il momento di raccontare la mia storia, di far nascere la mia opera, onesta, poetica e senza tempo.

I think this russian doll style is so beautiful, and Lamija accomplished her goal: to bring  a poetic, honest and timelessy wearable handwork.

Keep on creating, Lamija!

Penso che questo stile da bambola russa sia stupendo e che Lamija abbia raggiunto lo scopo che si era prefissata: una creazione poetica, onesta e senza tempo.

Continua a creare Lamija!

MAGENTA LIPS

Surfing on Style.com I found this great magenta lipstick. I want to recreate this look.

 This is what I used 

1: I applied Mac's Madly Magenta cream color base. Not a lot actually because it's really strong and really mellow.

2: I blended with a vary pale pink eyeshadow. I used Kiko, but every eyeshadow will be perfect. I put it because it helps to flatten the Magenta color.

3: with a tiny brush I put some fuchsia lipstick (here it's from YSL, but every brand it's fine). This helps to build up the color on the lips

4: I patted some bright orange blush on my lips. Orange softens magenta but mainly patting some blush/powder on the lipsticks will it make last all night long.

This is the result:

There is a difference between the original picture and my result, this is because something was missing and that is:

Mac's Magenta Pigment

I think it goes straight to no. 1 on my make up wish list: awesome!

Stay Magenta
Stay up all night long
Stay Stylish!
