Everything less than 4 $ Clothing and Beauty Haul @ Forever21

Who doesn't like to shop good items on a super low budget? 

Forever 21 is my go to store when it comes to unbelievable prices for good basics. 

I love their 1.90$ cami  (Link) and here in the photos you will see my favorite basic v-neck top that only cost 3.80$!  (Link ) 

I also enjoy their beauty section a lot too. They always have good things for cheap prices. I ended up getting some make up wedges ( the best ones to apply concealer when you do not want to use a make up brush  Link ), black simple hair ties ( i do not know where the huge assortment i had went, is there a hidden place where they all hang around? Link ) , a hair brush since my old one that i use to brush my wet hair died (it was on sale at  the time i purchased it but now is back to its original price , Link  ), a super fabulous face massager ( i use it to delicately scrub my face and wash my make up brushes too , i love it! ) 

I was so happy to see how all the items were so cheaply priced. I will definitely be stocking up on more t shirts and camis when i need to stock up next time. I really loved the quality of them. For being so cheap they are very very comfortable, breathable, good quality and quite durable. 

If you are on a budget or want just some extra basic tops check them out!I got  mine in red, black and white and i love pairing them with casual outfits overtime. They hold up very good when washed. 

Insider tip: if you go on store you will find only a very limited amount of colors and sizes. I always prefer to get them online. This theory has been proven all the times i tried to purchase the camis since they are only available on a handful of colors and 1-2 sizes and online is so hard to choose instead.   

What are your favorite stores for basics or when you do not want to spend too much money on ?

Back to school outfit + How to get 5 extra minutes of sleep every morning !

Fall is slowly coming up and all the back to school shopping is driving all the parents and kids crazy.
Going to the mall these days consists in seeing exhausted parents dragged all over the place in the constant look of the perfect outfit or latest and highly needed piece of stationary.
For school i have always liked to be dressed comfortably but always well put together and with some trendy pieces.
My strategy to achieve looking good but always getting those extra 5 minutes of sleep every morning was to get my outfits ready before going to bed. I would leave all the cloths folded on a chair with all the accessories already picked so all i needed to do in the morning was to get dressed and have breakfast!
When it came to make up i used to do a simple concealer, mascara, blush , powder look. I never tried to achieve a perfect winged eyeliner on a 60 seconds timer. Too much stress.

This sweater from Oasap represents a perfect statement piece to wear. My goal in school was to always wear a simple outfit but to have at least one statement piece. Make it a particular shoe, necklace or top.

I was extremely lucky my school never had a dress code or uniform rules. Expressing ourselves with cloths/ fashion  has always been a staple of my life.


The top in the first photo may be considered a little too risky for school but all depends on how hot it is in the place you live. I personally always like tops that have graphic designs.

Outfit: Pink& Black

I have always had a big aversion for pink but recently I am reconsidering it and this outfit is a good proof. Summer weather recently is getting out of control. One day is super hot and another is super cold. 

I have been having this shirt in my closet since this winter ( it was on a huge clearance and i loved it, i had to get it and just wait for the perfect day to wear it). 

Luckily for me that day my hair decided to cooperate and look good in photos ( thanks Batiste dry shampoo for the extra volume effect).

The shoes are my newest summer favorite: Toms ! I like this model because they look a little more chic than regular Toms due to the "lace/crochet" design. They look amazing both with dresses and pants!

Ho sempre avuto una grande avversione per il colore rosa ma ultimamente mi sta passando e questo outfit ne è una prova.
Le temperature estive stanno dando i numeri ultimamente. Un attimo fa un caldo assurdo e quello successivo si patisce invece il freddo.
Comprai questa camicia in inverno e  l'ho tenuta appesa nell'armadio tutto questo tempo aspettano il giorno e il clima adatto per indossarla. Finalmente quel giorno è arrivato.
Fortunatamente per me quel giorno è arrivata e i miei ricci indipendenti hanno deciso di cooperare e  per una volta sono stati al loro posto ( ringraziamo lo shampoo secco di Batiste per l'enorme volume offerto).
Le scarpe sono un nuovo acquisto azzimatissimo per l'estate: toms! Le adoro perché sono molto versatili e comode. La trama uncinetto le rende perfette sia per look molto causal che un po' più impegnati e soprattutto vanno benissimo sia con pantaloni e gonne/vestiti.

Outfit: A Big Nude Skirt

HIII!!!!!

It was definitely love at first sight between me and this skirt. 

I was going trough the sale rack at H&M when i saw it and i just couldn't resist. I had already so many outfits in my mind when i saw it. 

The price tag made me fell in love with it even more: 9.90$. 

I decided to create a nude-white outfit with a long slowly skirt and a white top. 

I paired all with my pointed studded stilettos. 

They are very comfortable and i can walk in them for hours. 

I wore this outfit to a friend's graduation.

I really enjoyed the entire experience very much. 

CIAO!!!!!!

E' stato decisamente amore a prima vista tra me e questa gonna. Ero alla ricerca di qualcosa di simile da tantissimo tempo e stavo quasi per saltare di gioia quando l'ho trovata mentre passavo in rassegna il reparto saldi di H&M. 

Il prezzo poi è stato ciò che mi ha fatto decidere di prenderla subito: 9.99.

Ho deciso di creare un outfit sui toni neutri e bianchi. 

Ho abbinato a tutto le mie decollate basse nere . 

Sono tra le scarpe più comode che possiedo e riesco a starci per ore senza soffrire.

Outfit Details: 

Tops Marshalls (9.90$)

Skirt (9.90$) 

Belt H&M (9.90$)

Shoes Oasap ( gift)

Huge Sweaters Keep You Warm

Winter is FINALLY over, and i still can't believe it. 

Cant' wait to start using all my cute dresses and heels and bikinis. 

I wanted to salute this winter with my most used outfit: this huge sweater by H&M . 

I got it on the sales for just 7$. Still can't believe it. 

It's a very thick, super overside one. I always try to belt it because i don't like the baggy look it gives when you are just wearing it plain. It gives to the upper body  no shape. 

I so put this super old belt of mine from H&M too and some skinny jeans from a brand i never heard before: Kult.

I decided to pin to the sweater a nice small pin too to give some touch of color and justify the lack of a necklace.

Wedged sneakers have been a staple these days, they all make the outfit looks more put together

I used this outfit so many times during this winter for university or simple running errands kind of day.

Outfit: Army Green & Light Pink

Hello!!! 

Friday has always been my favorite day to share outfits. 

Pink as always been one of my least favorite colors, but everything changed after i saw this beautiful delicate shade of pink at H&M. 

It was love at first sight and i already had tons of ideas on outfits with it. 

The one i am showing you today has a combo i never had used: pink & military green. 

They go very good together and the pink gives to the strong military green color a delicate touch .

Soft and strong: the definition of a my personality. 

I had to take the photos inside this time since it was very very cold outside. 

Spring and summer need to come asap!

I hope you won't mind the awkward background. :)

Ciaoo!!!!

Venerdì è sempre stato il mio giorno preferito per condividere con post sui miei outfit. 

Il rosa è sempre stato uno dei miei colori meno preferiti,ma tutto è cambiato quando ho visto questo malignino da H&M.

E' stato amore a prima vista e subito ho cominciato a pensare ai diversi abbinamenti che potevo fare. 

Quello che vi mostro oggi è un abbinamento che non avevo mai osato prima: rosa cipria e verde militare. 

Si accostano molto bene insieme e il rosa da un tocco delicato all'intenso verde militare.

Delicato e forte allo stesso tempo, un po' come me. 

Ho dovuto fare le foto al chiuso visto  il ritardo dell'arrivo della bella stagione.

Non vedo l'ora che il bel tempo arrivi.
