Fashion and the city (Perth)

I probably sound redundant but my cultural backgroud only makes me think about fashion as something elegant, a little bit sophisticated and very feminine (talking about women's fashion!).

I am in Perth since the 1st of December and I have seen some kind of clothes that are not fashionable at all. I would like to start from the very bottom...Shoes (my "not so secret" passion!)...The "must have" of this summer seems to be a sort of, especially seen in white,  sandal with short and big square heel (you just should  ban that!) or a chunky wedge ...A photo can explain better what I'm talking about...

Sorry but even the red nail polish on your toes can't make these shoes sexy and feminine!!!

Short high waist pants  are also very popular and, to be honest I'm not completely against them but your body has to be in a perfect shape to wear them...otherwise don't do it, please!

Walking around the city you can also see lots of fluo clothes (tops, pants, dresses...), I know it's summer and the sun makes our souls brighter but, I'm probably old school, I still prefer a little black number!

Anyway this is only my modest point of view not a bible at all!

My honesty makes me say that I've also seen many really nice dresses, the only (big?) problem is they are very expensive. In Italy it's much easier to find good quality clothes for an affordable price. Could it be a sort of suggestion to think about?

Skiing, snowboarding and relaxing...

As I told you in my last post, tomorrow I will start my first new year's resolution...enjoying my life more and more every day!!! You are maybe guessing what I am going to do...
This season of the year is perfect to jump into the car, drive a couple of hours north-east of Rome and reach Abruzzo with its altitudes and its little towns...Roccaraso is Italy's third biggest ski resort and the most popular in Abruzzo, with 70 trails and a vertical of nearly 700 metres. Nearby Campo Imperatore and Rivisondoli are both higher.

I'm not a snowboarder...yet...but another resolution could be learning new sports! Anyway you can enjoy the mountain even if you are not a skier or a snowboarder... White and beautiful landascapes will make your soul warm...and spa (or Thermae) will make your body warmer!!!

Can't wait to be there!!!

Relaxing getaway

After Chtistmas holidays, full of many lunches and dinners, we all need a relaxing weekend, a romantic getaway!

I'm now trying to plan the best weekend ever but I'm also experiencing the hardness in doing that!

First I would like to find a cheap but chic place;
Second I would like a place easy to reach on Friday night after a long day at work;
Third...I would like to be sure that I'm not going to make any mistakes...

One good thing of being italian and living here is that wherever I go I'm sure to see beautiful cities and fantastic landscapes...That's already a good start!!!
Florence or Siena with the "sweet Chianti hills", Pisa with the magic pendant tower, Venice with the lagoon and, above all, arts and history everywhere!

Maybe to really enjoy my weekend I shouldn't plan it...I mean I should leave it in "Destiny's hands"...or in my husband's hands!!!

Anyway planning or not planning it I'm sure it will be great and relaxing...no work to do, no dogs to look after, no house to clean...I will be spoilt like a princess!
