Just a Book? I Think Not
Call it my fashion bible, style lovers. Mom got it for me. Have you seen the books on Missoni? Have you read about the fabulous Margherita Maccapani Missoni? Everything comes alive - the vivid striped patterns of skirts, the zigzags of scarfs and the bikinis? Hello. Every doll should be that dolled up poolside. Talk about turning some heads. Giacomo comes to mind… Ok. I’m back. And I’m hooked more...
I Have Nothing to Wear
Not really, but that’s how I feel sometimes when I see my mother in full fabulous mode. I mean… can you say hottie? Explains why boys always wanted to come over to hang out at my house. This is a woman who looks elegant when she rolls out of bed, so when she dresses for an evening out, it is an experience you don’t want to miss.

With style,
Ciao!
Date Night

He one hundred percent gets an A for effort… but the tie didn’t match. Instead of bumming him out, I suggested the skinny tie under the guise that it was Mom’s favorite.

Blocked Again!
It’s official, we’ve got color-blocking fever here in Varese. Today, as I stood in the garden procrastinating before going back to my shelf life, I noticed beyond the many rows of shrubbery a girl in the distance wearing a vibrant yellow dress, blue shoes and a red bag while standing against a bright red wall. So fabulous my glass eyes started to fog up.
With style,
Ciao!
