DOLCE&GABBANA Jewellery video

Here's the Dolce&Gabbana Jewellery video by Giampaolo Sgura starring Bianca Balti and Simone Nobili. I think it's amazing. I love Bianca and the way she play the part of the typical sicilian woman of the middle twentieth century that carefully gets ready for her lover... 

Compared to Monica Bellucci, who's been the curvy protagonist of many Dolce&Gabbana adds, I think Bianca looks pretty different but still great into the shoes of a sensual woman of southern Italy...  Don't you think? 

Somehow, maybe due to my Sicilian origin (the golden chain I often wear is from my Sicilian granpa!), I feel really attracted by this kind of atmospheres and cultural context... 

It really makes me want to say ITALIANS DO IT BETTER! 

Love A

I'm taking the chance to publish these photos with beautiful Eleonora Carisi (joujou Villeroy). As you can see I'm wearing the golden chain I was talking about, and the atmosphere reminds me of some kind of Sicilian méange à trois ha! 

Hope you enjoy!

Milan 30th Oct

If you follow "The new dolcevita" on swide.com you might have already seen some shots about our Sunday morning walk in Milan... 

It was my bday... the day after the Hallowood party (<-click here to check the previous post about it) 

I think "HUNGOVER" it's clearly written all over my face in these photos ha!

We got up in the early afternoon (Considering that we went to bed like at 7 am after the party, I don't think it was too late) terribly hungry!

We quickly threw on some clothes from our messy attempt at organized luggages, and dressed up to go out for a sweet sweet "breakfast".... and of course I couldn't leave my camera home! It was my bday after all and I wanted to have some nice shots to remember such a happy time with my beloved best friend Lilian and lovely Marco who invited us over.... 

Hope you will enjoy the photos!

LOST&FOUND - #1

June 2010

____________

Your memory is a monster; 

you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. 

It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - 

and summons them to your recall with a will of its own.

 You think you have a memory; 

but it has you!

John Irving

The other day I was looking for a old project I made for uni last year. I switched on my desktop pc (which i haven't been using for a while, since I use my macbook all the time) and started browsing all my personal folders... For I wasn't busy enough (-.-) I ended up snooping around all the old photo albums I had organized by date...

I spent almost a whole afternoon checking out every single folder, recalling such happy times... I'm sure you know how it feels when watching old photos somehow you appreciate them much more! 

Feels like time gave them a added value...

I can remember when I was still at high school and was a real party animal! ahah

Autumn in Rome

Hello people! Here in Rome the weather it's still so beautiful,even if days are getting shorter and the weather slightly colder, it's still pretty warm! 

I think this kind of weather is the perfect one to make nice autumn outfit without wearing a coat! For me it's far better not to have too many clothes on... I like comfy outfit you know!

As you can see I'm wearing my brand new Maison Martin Margiela ankle-boots I was given as a gift by Run in 2, one of the coolest e-commerce you can find!

HALLOWOOD PARTY 2011

As I promised, here are some shots I took at Hallowood party in Milan. 

This party is one of the coolest during Halloween time! It's thrown (in part) by Fashion photographer Giampaolo Sgura and it became a yearly event in Milan.

When Giampaolo personally invited me I was quite flattered, and since I had heard of this party many times before, I knew everybody would have taken the matter of the costume-code very seriously.

This year the theme of the party was "MYTHOLOGY" . After a hard time trying to choose the right costume, I went for some kind of "Ares look" that turned to be ACHILLE to everybody else haha!

After a couple of phone calls to Swide we pieced together our look complete with a couple of special items from Dolce&Gabbana...

When we entered, the mix of glorious mythological costumes created blissful confusion as to who lay beyond the mask. A guessing game ensued; who was who? who was what?...
