Hey everyone!
Despite this being one of the toughest weeks ever – my finals are just round the corner – I always find some time for the blog:) Just yesterday one of my best friends introduced me to Polyvore.com, this amazing site where you can create outfits like the ones I posted! It’s like a drug now -
As I said, I shared here on Voglioperdertempo (for the non-Italian speakers, the name of the blog means “I wanna waste my time”) all the looks I created thanks to Polyvore, but I thought I should also spare a couple of words to explain to everyone the reason of my choices:)
Let’s start from the one I called “Carpe Black” (“carpe diem”- “carpe black”, yes, call me nerdy, I find it witty! and at that moment no other name for the set occurred to my mind) : well, if I had 3,000 euros in my wallet I guess that’s how I would use them! I absolutely love the sheer lace blouse by Philip Lim, black is probably my favourite color and I find that top extremely classy and elegant yet not at all “old-like”. The vast majority of the people I know always associate classy/elegant to old-like, that is far from being true, in fact the vast majority of the people I know have no taste at all. The bright pink pants totally fit my mantra, wear colors, you will shine of a new light. The shoes are an ever green, Louboutin, do I really have to add something? As the blouse is not just a plain black one( 450$, of course it’s not just a plain black one…) I wouldn’t add any necklaces, though if you absolutely can’t live without one, try to keep it simple. The clutch is perfect, I’m a big fan of skulls right now, I still LOVE life, but they kind of take my rocker side out, I feel strong and confident!
“Immortal black”: I pinky promise I’ll start using other colors as well! This look is not just for a walk down the road, it’s for a special night! The dress is very short, you could add leggings to cover up some skin!I really like this outfit, the clutch is amazing – I love how it shines - though my favourite thing has to be the ring, I’d wear it everyday – I really do have this thing of wearing my favourite stuff over and over again till it falls apart -
“For a Stylish Woman”: hey, you see? I kept my promise, this outfit is suuuuuper colorful compared to the other ones! When choosing the jacket and the pants I thought of what my mom would wear and I came up with this… she’s a very eccentric person while I’m not – though I understand it could seem differently -, I really don’t like it when people stare at me because of the way I’m dressed. The short-cropped jacket is very feminine and I think it looks nice with the kind of baggy Gucci pants. I have two pairs of Rayban wayfarer shades, if you don’t have any yet I suggest you rush to the closest store and get them in your favourite color! From what I’ve seen feather earrings this year are a must, I still don’t know what I think about them to be honest, I wouldn’t want to look like a parrot, but everyone seems to like them and they’re not that bad in the end, at least not the ones I chose for this outfit!
” I love Biker Boots”, I really do. Since till this last look I had only used heels and I rarely wear them, I thought I was kind of fooling myself, this is why I started the outfit with a pair of black Belstaff leather boots. Here in Florence the weather is torturing me, I’m an atypical Italian and I really hate summer and these boiling days, despite my personal opinions though I had to face the truth: it’s time for shorts and tank tops. I can hear a feeble voice at the back of my head screaming “noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, please, noooooooooooooooooo”, but there’s nothing I can do about it, as I said, it’s time for spaghetti t-shirts and teeny tiny mini skirts. This gets us to the point, I chose a pair of white lace shorts to go with the boots because I admit summer has come but I’m just not QUITE ready for sandals, yet - also, in case the temperatures get cooler you have the Topshop jacket to save you!Amazing, huh? I am absolutely sure one day I’ll have enough money to afford a Chanel bag, and, when that day comes, I’ll be the happiest person on the planet. I added the Yves Saint Laurent agate necklace - I dream of having that too – just to give the look that special something I still haven’t found a word for, what do you think?
Which is your favourite look? Do you like them?

Necklaces on a red background-28
Hey everyone!
my twelve year-old-brother and his friends are in the other room screaming like crazy and there's no way I can study with this noise, so what to do? a new post, of course; and where to find the right material? in my mom's closet, of course.
These are some of her necklaces, hope you like them!
This is my favourite one, it is kind of heavy but I absolutely love it!
This one is also very nice in my opinion, I loke the way the white pearls stand out on a tanned skin in the summer:)
This one is by Angela Caputi, an Italian designer.
These are several ones, my mom and I got the kind of ethnic ones from an Indian guy here in Florence who made them himself, the turquoise one comes from Bangladesh and I got the black and gold one in London!
This one is sooooo cute!I love it!!!
which is your favourite?
I have no idea why all my pictures end up having a red background, I guess it’ll have to be a tradition from now on!

A bit of shopping with my daddy:)
Hey everyone!
This morning was so much fun, really!I'd like to say it was the BEST morning of my life, but I can't, the best morning of my life has to be when my parents bought me all the Dragon Ball dvds. I've never been happier. Though this morning exceeded my expectations, and it's enough.My dad took me and my twelve-year-old brother, who literally was a pain in the neck, to a local street market. There were loads of stands that had interesting stuff: I saw some vintage items(bags-one really looked like one of my mom's - belts, sunglasses, scarves etc), toys and comics - for a moment I went back to my childhood - then there was food and CANDY, books and furniture. However the one stand that immediately caught my attention was the one selling FABRICS. It had so many different ones, silk, cotton, a bit of everything, plus they were raising money for a charity organization so it was for a good cause. The Lions Club PonteVecchio was making some money to train guide dogs, I HAD to buy something.
These are some pictures I took:
(My dad is the one man in the middle!)
This is what I bought:)
I thought I could make out of the super-bright-yellow one a kind of loose jacket and a pair of shorts, out of the pink one a summer dress and I still don't know how to use the light purple one, any ideas?!
I was assured the Queen of England has a dress made of the SAME fabric! exciting huh?
I love this pink, and it’s so soft to the touch!!
This baby over here is torturing me, I really don’t know what I could make out of it, maybe a skirt?
I’ll use these two silky ones to make a two layer maxi dress, good idea?
How was your day?was it as nice as mine?
