All Grey Party Look

Hi and Happy Monday! Christmas is near and last weekend I was so busy shopping for the last presents and going to Xmas parties. Well, I guess that's a nice kind of busy! On Friday night I went to a party and I opted for a casual and cozy look with jeans and a sweater, but I added heels for an edgier touch. I also painted my nails with this lovely shade of green which reminded me of the color of Christmas trees LOL. What do you think of this look?

Have a great week!

Love, Fede

Deck The Halls

Hi! Are you into the Christmas spirit? I am indeed! I spent the past week decorating and I wanna give you a glimpse of my home and my decorations.

This is the tree!

Before:

After:

This is the Nativity:

I'm very proud of my decorations and ornaments because many of them have a history. Whenever I travel to a new place I like to buy a new ornament, that way I build my own Xmas memories and traditions. Let me show you some of them.

This is from London, I got it at Harrods

This is from Denmark

This one's from Maui, Hawaii!

This is from Vermont

New York!

The wooden tree is from Bali, Indonesia

And you? What is your Xmas tradition?

Gingerbread Cookies

Hello! How are you doing? I'm doing great! In Italy we just had 4 days of Holiday and since I was in a very festive mood I decided to make cookies. And what says Christmas louder than gingerbread cookies? It was the first time for me to make these cookies and I followed this recipe. I didn't do gingerbread men, I did gingerbread Christmas trees and hearts LOL. I love the smell of spices in my kitchen and the taste too. Ley me know if you try this recipe. They turned out delicious!!! This is the result, see the picture!

Healthy Avocado And Banana Smoothie

Ciao everyone and Happy Monday!

Christmas is near and today I want to share a healthy breakfast recipe that will help you staying in shape this season, and it's also delicious! It's an avocado and banana smoothie. I am intolerant to milk so I used soy milk, but you can use all types of milk.

Here it is:

1 avocado

1 banana

soy milk

1 tbs brown sugar

Blend it! The nice thing is that it's really creamy! Let me know if you try it!

Have a great week!

Fall Jacket + New Hat

Ciao! Sorry for my long absence, I have been so busy lately and had no time to write. I wish I could tell you what has been going on in my life lately but right now I can't. I can only tell you it's something really big and I think I will be able to reveal it by the end of this month. Can you be patient and stay tuned? Hope so!! Well, fall is here finally, weather is chilly and I could finally wear the hat I got at Topshop in London. I paired it with this jacket from Aspesi, I love the color, it reminds me of falling leaves. Hope you guys like my look. I promise I will keep you updated on my bis news. Have a great week!

Jean Jacket

Hi! Weather is still nice here in Milan, but going out for dinner at night I needed to put on a jacket. I've had this one for ages and I hadn't worn it for so long. I'm so happy I took it out of the closet. This is my look, do you like it?

Have a great hump day!

Coral Red Mani

Hi and happy monday! These are the last days of summer, and I still want my mani to be bright and fun even though I'm back to work. I chose this color by OPI, the name is My Chihuahua Bites, which is so perfect and fun because I own a chihuahua named Chloe, but she doesn't bite Lol! What do you think of the color?

Have a great week!

Love, Fede

Back To The Gym

Hi everyone! I previously shared that I love to swim, but I also love to keep fit by going to the gym. It's a great way to release tension and stress from work, and I feel so much better after a good workout. My gym look needed an update though, I had been wearing the same top and leggings for years. So I went on www.hm.com and got these items at a great price! Do you like the look?

Have a great week!

Love, Fede

London

Ciao! How was your summer? Mine was wonderful but I wish it lasted longer. I miss when I was a student and I had 3 months holidays, now I only have 3 weeks and it's really unfair! LOL

Well, I can't complain, because I really enjoyed visiting London, catching up with old friends who live there and of course shopping! London is such a beautiful and vibrant city, you never get bored! Then I went to my family's beach house for 2 weeks and I just relaxed, enjoyed the sun, sand and sea.

I want to show you a few pics of London, I will write a better post in the travel section very soon.

Have a great week and welcome back to the city, for those of you who, like me, just got back home.

Love, Fede
