Five years is a very important age, do you remember it? I’m not sure! I just had some flash of that time,which did not really have time. But if I look at Geneva, I try to imagine myself and smile.I wonder if I was never stopped like her, if I was capricious and stubborn, if like her, I never accepted a NO!Of course I know I was sleeping in my bed at five, I was used to sharing everything because I was living in a house with four other children who were my brothers,while the girl has everything for her: Attention, cuddles, instant responses to everything she need, space in the house, games, good things to eat.But sometimes I wonder if have everything and so much, it’s good or not…….For now I know that Ginevra is already 5 years old!And that she is living completely immersed in her world, made of dolls, where pink is reigning everywhere, where the girls are all her friends, while the boys not.She lives immersed in her world where she can say everything that comes to mind with an absolute truth, where a song she likes can trigger an explosive dance everywhere and she can turn into a singer;going to sleep is always a problem, but then getting up in the morning becomes the saddest thing in the world.Her world is made of afternoons outdoors or to color with the brushes or to the park.I look at her and often I think that I hope she stay so careless and cheerful, stubborn and intuitive.For her birthday we will have two parties: one with the parents to dinner outside and the other at the park with her friends!For dinner I decided to dress her with a total look signed Sarabanda, a brand that is getting more and more home and then because it develops a very fun collection where I can find a little bit of everything: from the elegant dresses to the more ones sports.I do not know where you are from, but in Vicenza I have influenced many friends and they are all very happy to dress their children with this brand!I hug you and soon.

April, the month of sweet sleep and I would sleep a whole week, but unfortunately I will not be possible: April this year brings Easter. We decided to go to Tuscany and Sunday will eat on the hills of Florence! We love Tuscany and I love especially Florence, that often has me on the occasion of Pitti: I can never enjoy it as I would like, but we hope to succeed with my family during the coming long weekend. Ginevra is already all excited and happy, of course, after assuring itself that at Easter, will have its Frozen egg! I don’t know about you, but I find very hard to find anything related Frozen or Winx (and as they do, these characters, to have all this power on girls, I’d figure it out …) His second thought was what he should wear for Easter dinner. Then his mom, super-sighted, she had already thought of buying on the site Sarabanda, her total look: of course it was not so ‘obvious that she liked, indeed, but Sarabanda has a great power in this……Thank god! I chose for her a faux black leather jacket, a t-shirt in cotton with red and blue flowers and a blue pleated skirt. My Ginny is delighted! Follow us in Tuscany, that we take you to see the beautiful places … soon. 

Qualcuno ha detto primavera ? Eh sì, ci siamo ! Oggi è proprio il primo giorno di primavera!Vi state per caso risvegliando anche voi ? Non è meraviglioso guardare la natura e vedere tutti questi ciliegi  in fiore ?

E’ il momento di restare cauti però, perchè lo so che non  appena arriva il primo caldo tiepido vorremmo già svestirci: invece dobbiamo stare attenti, soprattutto nei riguardi dei bambini . Ginevra dice spesso: Mamma fa caldissimo, toglimi la giacca e la maglia , per favore, fai presto ! Se li ascoltassimo sarebbero sempre poco vestiti che poi non sarebbe nemmeno sbagliata come idea , ma mai come in questo periodo dobbiamo imparare a vestire noi e i nostri figli a più strati o meglio, a cipolla… Per la festa di papà , Nicola ci ha portato fuori a pranzo e Ginevra ovviamente voleva essere bellissima per lui:  ho pensato allora che Sarabanda avrebbe potuto fare al caso nostro. Per lei ho comprato una bellissima gonna a righe bianche e rosa (il suo colore preferito) , una t-shirt in cotone con ricami e una giacca in eco pelle , ovviamente  rosa. Era molto felice (per fortuna, perché più cresce più ho problemi seri a vestirla) ! Non so se capita solo a me di riguardare vecchie istantanee da bambina e dire: Ma come cavolo mi vestiva mia madre ? La realtà era che non potevo aprire bocca e forse sono io ad essere troppo permissiva con Ginevra ? Si lamenta sempre ! E le scarpe sono strette e la gonna non le piace ect… Capricci su capricci perché vuole una giacca piuttosto che un’altra… insomma che noia ! Questi bambini moderni sono assai difficili da capire, per fortuna mi aiuta Sarabanda…. Buona primavera , a presto…

Someone said spring? Ah yes, here we are! Today is the first day of spring! You were awakened by chance too? Is not it wonderful to look at nature and see all these cherry blossoms. It ‘s time to remain cautious, however, because I know that as soon as it comes first hot, we would like everyone already undress. Instead we must be very careful, especially among the children.  Ginevra often said: Mom is very hot, please take off my jacket and the shirt, please, hurry! If we listened to them, they would always be too little clothes (which would not even be mistaken as an idea), but never as in this time we have to learn to dress us and our children thicker or better, as an Onion !!!!For Father’s Day, Nicola took us out to dinner and Ginevra obviously wanted to be beautiful for him! I thought then that Sarabanda could have done the job. For her, I bought a beautiful skirt and white striped pink (her favorite color), a t-shirt in cotton with embroidery and a faux leather jacket, of course pink. She was very happy (thankfully, because the more she grows, more serious problems to dress her up)! I do not know if it happens only to me to cover old snapshots as a child and say: But how I wore my mother? The reality was that I could not open my mouth! Maybe I’m being too permissive with Ginevra? Always complains! And the shoes are tight and the skirt does not like ect … Whims of tantrums because they want a jacket over another ………How boring!These modern children are very difficult to understand, fortunately helps me … Sarabanda. Good spring….See you soon

All attentive and sitting watching the most talked parade of the Pitti Bimbo 84: the time of the event was the celebration of Y-CLU’ who sent down his children from a high platform about to announce that they were coming from another world.In fact the child YCLU ‘just comes from another historical period: strong recall to the 80 in each head. The brand plays with colors to play down light or heavy garments.The college style dominates the karmesse with two styles for excellence: American for applications and the British for punk-rock style that always know how to be fair and present. The English call is strong in garments with gray and blue colors, with asymmetric cuts from the new fit.Great is also the return of graffiti and black and white, neoprene clothes and knitting plush.Camouflage becomes flower and animal prints, always with a reminder of the 80 years, it becomes a classic for leggings that are worn under oversized sweaters.The jerseys are tartan tone on tone and effects and moulinè shades.The college style is renewed by the colors like beige and military embellished with pearls.Accessories are fun and offer additional bon ton and elegance.

L’inverno si avvicina, ma sinceramente qui da noi in Veneto, tarda ad arrivare!  Abbiamo trascorso alcuni giorni molto belli in montagna,  poi nel week-end vi racconterò della nostra biciclettata, prima però vorrei raccontarvi quello che ha indossato la mia Ginevra.  Sì, vi ho parlato spesso di quanto lei sia difficile in fatto di abbigliamento, qualcuno ha cercato di dirmi anche che è  colpa del fatto che lavoro in mezzo alla moda e la porto alle sfilate&co. 

Credo anch’io che un pochino ne sia  influenzata , ma sono anche certa si tratti del  suo carattere e della sua natura, perché diciamoci la verità: Ginevra non mi rende in nulla le cose semplici, ma anche se ora devo dannare un po’ , avere un carattere così forte nella vita la aiuterà molto. Mia madre mi ripete sempre che è uguale a me quand’ ero bambina e quindi ora ho solo da imparare da tutta la pazienza che lei ha dimostrato di aver avuto con me. Per andare a Merano ho infilato nella valigia di Ginevra un bel vestitino color rosso bordeaux che dicono sia proprio il colore dell’ autunno 2016/17, come si dice ? Un must have ! Il vestito mi sembrava perfetto per la cena in albergo: frequentiamo spesso posti eleganti e quindi era perfetto per una delle nostra serate.A lei è piaciuto tanto per via del fiore e del ricamo. Per uscire e stare quindi all’aria aperta ho preferito farle indossare, anche se non era  freddissimo,una giacca tipo parka con cappuccio in pelliccia in eco-pelle …e meno male che anche per questa è stata felice.  Ogni tanto le dico che la manderò a stare per un po’ in Africa con i bambini che non hanno nulla, vediamo se poi torna a casa un po’ ridimensionata. Ah,  dimenticavo il suo look è tutto firmato Sarabanda. Buon week-end a tutti. Vi abbraccio.

Winter is approaching, but honestly to us here in Veneto, long in coming! We spent some very nice days in the mountains, then the weekend will tell of our bike ride, but first let me tell you what I wore my Ginevra .Yes, I have often spoken of how much she is difficult in terms of clothing, someone tried to tell me that it is also the fault of the fact that work in the middle of the fashion and the port to parades & co. I also believe that it is influenced a little bit, but I’m also certain it is of his character and of his nature, because let’s face it …. Ginevra does not make me anything in the simple things: now I have to condemn a little ‘, but having such a strong character will help a lot in life. My mother always repeated that is equal to me quand ‘I was a child, and so now I only have to learn from all the patience she has shown to have had with me. To go in Merano I put in the suitcase Ginevra a pretty dress burgundy color that say it’s just the color of the ‘2016/17 autumn, as they say? A must have! The dress seemed perfect for dinner in the hotel: frequentiami often elegant places and so it was perfect for one of our serate.A she liked it so much because of the flower and embroidery. To exit and stay outdoors so I preferred to wear them, although it was not cold, a parka type jacket with hood in faux fur skin … and thank goodness for this was happy. Every time I say that I will send to stand for a while ‘in Africa with children who have nothing, let’s see if he comes home a little’ resized. Oh, and her look is all signed Sarabanda. Happy weekend to everyone. I hug you.

Autumn has arrived, and year after year I seem to come into your toes, gently and always giving a gentle warmth and colors just wonderful. At times it turns into a madcap season, the mild temperature suddenly turns into arctic cold and then come back to give warmth … and then how to dress? But above all, how we dress our children? Ginny I dress like me, that is … A onion! T-shirt long sleeve sweater, trousers or a skirt. Usually with her skirt I wear the socks are easy to remove if the temperature rises. Do you remember that I told you of them bought online fanciful clothing, signed Sarabanda ? Behold, today I wanted to show you my choice for her! Yes, I dressed just onion. You like it ? I love the blue and the lines and then is not that wonderful coat with that taste a bit ‘retro? !! I got caught so much the hand that I also bought an ecological gorgeous fur coat! What can I say, I love to go shopping for her … Let me know how you are and what you do wear this sweet autumn to your children. I hug you.

Le bambine amano i vestitini e da mamma di femminuccia lo so bene:  conosco pochi casi di bimbe maschiaccio. Oggi vogliono essere tutte vestite  come principesse,  il loro colore è il rosa, il viola o come dice Ginevra, il Fuffia (fuxia) .

Per Ginevra cerco abitini che la proteggono il più possibile dal freddo . Nel corso della mia ricerca mi ha regalato molta soddisfazione l’azienda di abbigliamento Nyani che crea abitini in  caldo cotone misto cashmere, meglio di così ! I nostri  bambini sono molto più esigenti rispetto a come noi eravamo da bambini, ma  è anche vero che anche noi mamma e lo siamo molto di più rispetto ai nostri genitori. Ognuna do noi oggi sè molto attenta ai materiali e ai tessuti, da dove arrivano e la loro qualità. Per lei ho scelto un abitino morbido e colorato che può essere indossato anche come  maxi maglia; io l’ho abbinato a delle calze pesanti e visto che le stampe sono già molto divertenti e alla moda, sono riuscita a farle scegliere dei colori più neutri e semplici, distraendola dal solito rosa.  E dato che c’ero, le ho acquistato anche una  gonna. Se curiosate sul sito di Nyani, troverete altri abitini e gonne colorate. Sono molto felice di aver scoperto questa linea a misura di bambino e soprattutto per mamme soddisfatte.

The girls love the clothes and the sissy mom I know: I know a few cases of girls tomboy. Today they want to be all dressed like princesses, their color is pink, purple or as Geneva says the Fuffia (fuchsia). Much easier to dress in the summer, but in autumn and winter as you do? Ginevra I am looking for dresses that protect it as much as possible from the cold. In the course of my research has given me great satisfaction the company Nyani clothing that creates dresses in warm cashmere cotton, much better than that! Our children are much more demanding than how we were as children, but it is also true that we mamma e we are much more than our parents. do each of us today itself very attentive to materials and tissues, where they came from and their quality. For her I chose a soft and colorful dress that can be worn as a maxi jersey; I have combined with heavy socks and saw that prints are already a lot of fun and fashionable, I was able to let her choose the most neutral and simple colors, distracting her from pink usual. And since I was there, I also bought a skirt. If you browse on the Nyani site, you will find other dresses and colorful skirts. I am very happy to have discovered this child-friendly line and especially for moms met.

A tal proposito ho scoperto un brand tedesco di cui mi sono perdutamente innamorata. Sto parlando di NYANI. Uno dei motivi per cui scelgo un brand piuttosto che un altro è sicuramente il materiale con  cui è sviluppata la collezione che deve andare di pari passo, anche con un prezzo accessibile.  Ecco perchè NYANI da questo punto di vista mi ha subito conquistata. NYANI è un brand che nasce a Monaco di Baviera e veste i bambini da zero ai dodici anni. Il materiale dei loro capi è fatto di cotone organico, cashmere accogliente o morbido misto cashmere-cotone. Il brand tra l’altro ha sviluppato una collezione di Toys & Gift molto carina e simpatica dove il Bretzel (pane tipico tedesco ), rimane il pezzo più forte. Oggi per Ginevra ho scelto il loro Dirndl il capo per eccellenza che in Germania, Austria, Svizzera e Alto Adige viene ancora oggi  indossato dalle bambine e donne nelle occasioni formali. Da quando siamo state in agosto a Merano, Ginevra continua a chiedermi di poterne avere uno tutto per sé…… ed ora eccola accontentata!!! Sopra il vestito tirolese le ho abbinato un golfino di lana misto cashmere con seta, che trovo a dir poco meraviglioso.Amo questo genere di brand perché mi da la sicurezza di una qualità unica e di una vestibilità moderna e chic. Nei prossimi giorni, vi mostrerò altri look che ho scelto per la mia bambina. A presto.

Today I want to talk about fashion and especially fashion kids! What do you think? Although this summer I stopped a bit with the blog (we all need to recharge our batteries !!), I can assure you that I have never stopped working, and above all to make ricerca.A this regard I found a German brand which I was madly in love. I’m talking about Nyani. One of the reasons why I choose one brand over another is definitely the material it has developed the collection that must go hand in hand, even with an affordable price. That’s why Nyani from this point of view has been conquered me. Nyani is a brand that was born in Monaco of Bavaria and as the children from zero to twelve years. The material of their leaders is made of organic cotton, cozy cashmere or soft cashmere-cotton. The brand among other things has developed a collection of Toys & Gift very pretty and nice where Bretzel (typical German bread), remains the strongest piece. Today I have chosen Ginevra for their Dirndl the leader par excellence in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol is still worn by girls and women in formal occasions. Since we were in August in Merano, Ginevra keeps asking me to be able to have one all to yourself …… and now here she is satisfied !!! Over the Tyrolean dress I paired a wool cashmere sweater with silk, which I find to say the least meraviglioso.Amo this kind of brand because it gives me the security of a unique quality and a modern fit and chic. In the coming days, I will show you other look I chose for my little girl. See you soon.

Ma ditemi care amiche, non vi capita mai di trovarvi per un caffè veloce con le amiche per poi stare ore sedute a chiacchierare tanto da perderci delle ore ? E ditemi, di cosa parlare? Il primo argomento di cui io parlo con le mie super girls sono i figli, banale e ovvio no?

Ma non c’è nulla di più importante… Passando poi per un argomento più easy ma essenziale si cade solitamente sulle scarpe con i tacchi . Perché bisogna sempre tenersi aggiornate ! (Non dimenticatevi mai di indossarli, nemmeno quando avete un passeggino da spingere  e tre figli per mano!)  E poi ? Di cosa parlate ? Parrucchiera, estetista, diete…Ecco, noi stiamo ora a parlare di gioielli. Mamma quanto ci piacciono e ormai sapete bene come adoro il brand di Roma1947. A tal proposito ho fatto vedere loro l’ultima collezione che ho acquistato. Si chiama Segreti  ( che coincidenza, no ? Chi meglio delle amiche non conosce i segreti dell’altra?) . Questa collezione nasce per chi ama le perle e i loro segreti fonte di un’energia intrinseca,  per una donna elegante e delicata , ma che sa essere sempre discreta quando deve.  Le mie amiche sono state entusiaste del mio nuovo acquisto e voi? A presto… un abbraccio.

But tell me, dear friends, it will never happen to find for a quick coffee with her friends and then spend hours sitting chatting much to lose hours? And tell me, what to talk about? The first argument of which I speak with my super girls are the children, banal and obvious is not it? More … But there is nothing more important … Moving on to a more moderate but essential topic is usually falls on shoes the heels . Because you have to always keep up to date! (Never forget to wear them, even when you have a stroller to push and three children by the hand!) And then? What are you talking about ? Hairdresser, beautician, diets … Here, we are now talking about jewelry. Mom what we like and now you know how I love the Roma1947 brand. In this regard, I showed them the latest collection that I purchased. It’s called Secret (what a coincidence, is not it? Who does not know the best of friends? Secrets of the other). This collection was created for people who love pearls and their secret source of energy inherent to an elegant and delicate woman, but always knows when to be discreet. My friends have been enthusiastic about my new purchase and you? See you soon, a hug

And ‘Monday and the only argument I can brighten the day is definitely talking about kids clothing, especially if the brand in question is Monnalisa. What struck me about this brand is the fact that although they are famous for their princely robes, they were able to develop a collection for Spring / Summer 2016 more street and rock, which is not so simple and obvious … In clothing we sailed since I was 15 years old and I assure you that not everyone succeed. But this company is famous around the world for its ability to amaze. Ginevra, in the first outfit, wearing a full white dress, sleeveless, polka dot beige, with a ribbon embellished with rhinestones at the waist and skirt, to be more conspicuous, it has under a clear tulle. The shoes are made of cotton, worked lace damask with a bow and a flower, very comfortable and very soft. A classic and elegant outfits typical DNA Monnalisa: to be worn with my little girls at a party or an imported ceremony. Ginevra loves to feel a little ‘princess. The second outfit is rather more innovative: street and rock of course, perfect to move freely composed of a tank top and lace leggings in a lightweight and comfortable cotton. The tank top in the first photo is under a stretch denim jacket and leggings under a skirt in tulle with satin bow that serves as a belt. The sneakers wearing Ginevra are perfect and in tune with the rest of the outfit, comfortable and read the resume of the jacket rhinestones. The color of this total look is a blue sky and prints of tank top and leggings are funny and entertaining. Recall the summer, the most important and precious season for every child.
