While all the Net rants and raves about the style of Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen, I always drool over the outfits of Serena’s mother, Lily Van Der Woodsen. I love her character (absent-minded and indecisive yet strong, prim yet rule-breaker: she’s a woman of contrasts), her complex personal story, the [...]

Being a fashion (photography) nerd, I’m always looking for new photospreads by my favourite photographers.

The passion I have for everything Versace has been a part of me since my childhood. Glamour, celebrities, exotic settings, supermodels: all [...]

This is my first post written in English and I’m pretty excited about it.
I’m not new to blogging, because I’ve been having a blog (in Italian) since 2002, but now I’ve decided to give it a new start, here on WordPress and with a different language.
