Happy Creepy Halloween!

Halloween! For a lot of people it's the most exciting holiday because we can dress up as we want, expressing ourself with the most sexy and creepy costumes.
In my country, Halloween was never a big party, when I was little we didn't even know what Halloween was! Till my English teacher explained the event at school and one of my friends organized a little pijama party for Halloween. I still remember the little witch hat, dark nail polish and lipstick that my mom bought for me! Ah I loved it!
Now, Halloween is kinda a big thing also here in Italy! Lots of parties and lots of costumes, but we will never be at the same Halloween-level of UK or USA!

Let's see what celebrities chose to wear for this fun and creepy night!

That's a METter of fact

YES! The Met Gala always bring amazing dresses.. and it's always fun see how people can interpret the theme of the event. This year, the theme was Manus X Machina: Fashion in the age of technology exhibition, which was co-chaired by Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and Apple executive Jonathan Ive.
Let's see how the guests see theirselves in the future of fashion!

Oscars 2016

The Oscars! The most expected event of the year!
The event where the best performances in the cinema scenario are awarded and the best dresses are showed up to the world.

VMAs 2015

Summer is almost over and big events are coming back!
Last night was VMAs' turn, hosted by Miley Cyrus who we all know would have been amazing!
Miley rocked a lot of bolding outfits durinf the night and they were... particular!
On the red carpet she wore a full diamond custom Versace "dress" and boots, Judith Leiber bag and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
Jeremy Scott was in charge for all her outfits and we can say that he almost not dresses her.. her outfits were almost non existent but it's Miley and this is her style now. She has a fantastic body so there's nothing to be ashemed of.
Just one thing.. I'm a little bit uncertain about her blonde dreads... Mmmh.

 

 

 

Could Taylor Swift miss the VMAs? Of course not! Taylor brought with her, her entire Bad Blood girl squad composed by Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt, Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Serayah, Mariska Hargitay, Lily Aldridge and Karlie Kloss. It would have been amazing if they wore their Bad Blood outfits!

I was not so impressed by Taylor's outfit to be honest; she wore an Ashish black and gold top and pants, with Christian Louboutin shoes, an Ofira ring and Lorraine Schwartz earrings.

Cara chose a starry and sparkling Saint Laurent dress with Stuart Weitzman shoes. Lily Aldridge wore an Alexandre Vauthier couture dress wth Edie Parker clutch, Jen Meyer Jewelry earrings, Anita Ko bracelets and Stuart Weitzman heels.




Karlie wore a simple orange long dress with some flat gold sandals. Yes Karlie! I like that she often wears flat at the events instead of heels. Hailee chose a white Stella McCartney jumpsuit with Jill Milan clutch and Jennifer Fisher gold neck cuff.



Selena wore a Calvin Klein black long dress with Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, Ara Vartarian bracelet and Aquazzurra shoes.

Gigi Hadid was super tanned and she wore a bright yellow Emilia Wickstead gown with golden sandals. Martha Hunt wore a black Georges Chakra Couture LBD with sheer short sleeves.

Taylor during her acceptance speech quoted the famous "Imma let you finish" of Kanye West! ahahahah

 Pharrell and his wife were so cute on the red carpet wearing matching denim outfits and shoes.

 The It model of the moment was there too, Emily Ratajkowski wore Altuzarra dress and she matched it with high knee boots.

 Demi Lovato chose a skintight pink mini dress with nude heels.

During her performance of Cool for the Summer with Iggy Azalea, Demi wore a custom bodysuit and boots with a Georgine fur.

Amber Rose surely wanted to make a point with her outfit with all those insults on her tight bodysuit.
Later she stated "when you're wearing your instagram comments". I think that is really sad that Amber need to wear something like that to make other realize that often people are so mean on the internet and also outside. It's so easy tell someone is a bitch or a faggot.. it seems so innocent but instead is really hurtful.

And there we are.. for the first time in forever (omg, I watched Frozen too many times!), I didn't like Chrissy Teigen's outfit!! Usually I love Chrissy's style but this time.... mmmeh.

 Kylie Jenner wore an amazing sand Balmain mini dress with coordinate sandals.

For the after party Kylie chose another piece from Balmain which is a stretch knit cutout mini dress. I love it!!

Nicki Minaj chose a stunning sheer and gold long gown.. WOW! She was beautiful!

Nicki performed two of her songs and later she was joined on the stage by Taylor Swift, with whom she had a little feud on Twitter in july. Nicki and Taylor then singed together one of the latest hit of Taylor, Bad Blood.



When Nicki got on the stage to accept her award, she had a little something to say about Miley who previously mention her about racism  in some inteview. Slaaaaayyy

Now, let's pass to my favourite outfits of the night.
Rita Ora, FKA Twigs and Vanessa Hudgens were stunning!
Rita chose an amazing black Vera Wanf custom dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Stuart Weitzman. It's so beautiful with all those long feathers on the skirt.
Twigs wore an Atelier Versace gown with corset and Eva Fehren jewelry.
These outifts were really classy and audacious but so beautiful.

 

 Vanessa Hudgens was a fairy with her old rose Naeem Khan dress with Stuart Weitzman shoes and an Edie Parker bag. She rocked some Jacquie Aiche earrings, rings and necklaces, bracelets by Norman Silverman, Effy Jewelry, Le Vian, Pasquale Bruni, and Casa Reale.
Everything was perfect, from the dress, to her hair to her accessories, cast on her hand included!

Should we talk about Justin? Yeah.. Justin rocked his new haircut and he was handsome! Usually I don't like Justin Bieber and his look but this time he wore a nice outfit: shirt, jeans, boots and leather jacket. Simple but effective.

Later he performed his new song What Do You Mean and after that he bursted crying. *weird*

 

 We need to mention also the "official announcement" of Kanye West.
At the end of his acceptance speech, which last about 20 minutes rambling speaking about life, here's the bomb!

Was he serious?????

 This year the VMAs were a little awkward.. maybe too many  resolved and "pick fight" feuds, but if it was without them... What kind of VMAs would it be????


Talk to you soon

Sorry for my english.. I'm still learning

When your World is fallen Apart

Today I want to share something really personal about me.
All it came yesterday when I read a bad news about a celebrity.
Taylor Swift told to her fans that her mother has been diagnosed cancer.
I like her, lately I like some of her songs, I like most of her style, she's nice and I share her taste in british men! (ahah) But I can't say I'm one of her biggest fan. I don't know why but I really felt empathy with her.

Maybe because I perfectly know what she's feeling right now.
You should know that my mom works abroad and I can see her just 2 or 3 times a year due to my studies and her work. Last May, she got a very bad flu, but she couldn't recover from it and she didn't know why. She decided to come back home to be cured and at the hospital they said it was just a bad flu. Two days after she went back to the hospital because she couldn't breathe and they finally found something. 
I can remember the exact moment when my dad called me and said that my mum was diagnosed with leukemia, and not a easy one. I was in another city for study, I threw something in my suitcase and took the train to come back home. It was the worst and longest journey of my life.
I still remember it was the 23rd of May, 4 days before my birthday and my life stopped. You can't imagine how I felt when I saw my mother laying in that bed.
I had the misfortune to handle this situation with insensitive doctors, they called me and my dad to tell us she had this serious form of leukemia and also a kidney failure, and she was dying.
My entire world stopped and fallen. My mom, my life, my reason of living was dying in front of me. I am really close to my mom and the thought of losing her for me was more than devastating.
It was strange but the first thing that came to my mind was "my mom will be not able to see my children", and it's not something you think when you're just 22.
That night I think I could die with her because my heart was bursting with pain.
Luckily we moved her to another better hospital and she began chemotherapy. I remember when my dad asked me to tell mom that she had leukemia, I don't even know how I was able to do it.
Thank God she recover a little and she's walking through this difficult travel, chemotheray, transplant, side effects. Believe me I didn't know she would fight like this. I think she's the strongest person I know.
Reading about Taylor Swift's mom make me think that she made a really remarkable gesture saying all to her fans. When someone has cancer, it's almost a natural reaction to hide the illness but there's nothing wrong share your feelings with people you care.

Taylor wrote this yesterday:

"Just so you know…
Hey guys,
I’m writing to you with an update I wish I wasn’t giving you, but it’s important and I’m used to sharing important events in my life with you. Usually when things happen to me, I process them and then write music about how I feel, and you hear it much later. This is something my family and I thought you should know about now.
For Christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her gifts to me be her going to the doctor to get screened for any health issues, just to ease some worries of mine. She agreed, and went in to get checked. There were no red flags and she felt perfectly fine, but she did it just to get me and my brother off her case about it.
The results came in, and I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer. I’d like to keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know.
She wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle… Or peace of mind in knowing that they’re healthy and there’s nothing to worry about. She wanted you to know why she may not be at as many shows this tour. She’s got an important battle to fight.
Thank you for caring about my family so much that she would want me to share this information with you.
I hope and pray that you never get news like this.
Love you.

Taylor "

I really appreciated the fact that she felt she had to share it with her fans.
I hope everything is coming back normal and good for her and for all the people that are facing and handling such a horrible situation like this.

Be brave, strong and never give up!

That's all for now

Talk to you soon

Brits, my love

This period is so full of events and awards that I can't keep up with all of them but I love this time! There are such glamorous outfits, events and performances! and speaking of witch... Tonight there was the Brits!!
As you may notice I have a little (be honest, it's huge) crush on Britain. I don't know why, but I love England and most of the british actors, singers, personalities or bloggers are amazing to me.
Maybe because of their charming accent!

By the way.. Brit Awards! My favourite performaces were Taylor Swift with “Blank Space” even if she was scheduled to perform her latest single "Style" (hint hint to Harry), the Grammy awarded Sam Smith with “Lay Me Down”, the amazing  Ed Sheeran with “Bloodstream” and my Take That with "Let in the sun". Ahh Take That! I loved them since I was 4 years old and that means that I was a crazy fangirl since a very early stage.. ahah. My mum always remember me how I was crazily singing to Relight my fire, which was little bit inapropriate for a child! ahah


Taylor on the red carpet wore an amazing Roberto Cavalli Atelier dress, Charlotte Olympia shoes, and Lorraine Schwartz jewels, but during the performance she wore Kaufmanfranco with Christian Louboutin booties and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

However, the nominations were a lot!
For the British male solo category won Ed Sheeran who also won for the best British album with his latest X , for the British female solo won Paloma Faith.

For the British group won Royal Blood , British breaktrough  won the revelation and Grammy awarded Sam Smith.

For the best British Single with Capital won  Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars with ‘Uptown Funk", that song is captivating!
The british video of the year was won by my beloved One Direction with "You and I", who sent their record label "dad" Simon Cowell to take the award since they are in Japan for their On the Road again tour.

For the International group category won the Foo Fighters and for the International Female and Male won Taylor Swift and Pharell Williams respectively.


But we should talk about Madonna's performance! She performed "Living for Love" but at the beginning of the song she fell! Poor Madonna!

 The highlight of the night for me was seeing my childhood icona: the Spice Girls, or at least two of them. Sporty Spice aka Mel C and Baby Spice aka Emma Bunton. Oh, they're so grow-up!
I think I molted their tape whrn I was little! ahah I literally loved them!

The best dressed for this occasion was Rita Ora, who was nominated for Best British Video with "I Will Never Let You Down”. Rita wore a gorgeous shimmery gold jumpsuit by Zuhair Murad.

 That's all for now


Talk to you soon
