Even if here is the snow, I feel that spring is coming. It's not so clear, but you can see little and hide signals like little shy flowers, tweets bird, longer day and a shiny sun. It's time discover a new skin!

I wear a Velvet Elisa top and wool scarf, black jeans vintage.

In this winter I made a lot of creations, but the most difficult was the pink coat. It took me one month of work, but at the end I'm very proud of it. I adore the pink color and the tulip shape. This is the perfect dress to say goodbye to the winter!
I wear a Velvet Elisa coat, vintage hat and accessories, Casadei pumps.

A few days ago it was my birthday, Velvet Elisa get older but less wiser. Anyway  it was a great day, not only for the number of the years but also because I spent this day with my dearest and coolest friends!!!

How can be related a country landscape with triangular and abstract shapes pattern? Nothing, I like to photograph my new dress in a fabulous villa near Padua. Living in the country I think it's so full of satisfaction, because it's so link to the the cycle of nature. But now This is not my habitat.
Thanks Joseph for pics!

How can I define my 2012? It was the year of yes, but, however ... the three words that I always say. It  was the year of ideas, intuitions and bitter answers. I don't want to make a list of good intentions for 2013, just because I'll not respect it.  I want to have free rein for my future. Thanks to everybody who trusts in me. HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELY PEOPLE!

See you in 2013!!!

I know that 2013 will be the colour of the emerald, but I'm never go off yellow colour, I still wear it in spite of any trend. So I'm just thinking about how I can be cool wearing yellow?A skirt is the solution!

Christmas time is here, like the Peanuts theme. I just finished helping my mum to prepare tortellini for Christmas dinner and now I am going out with my friends to drink brulè in the city centre and listening good music. Every clash has been closed out the door. Merry Christmas!

The end of 2012 is approaching and it is time of the annual budget. What I've done in this year? What's next for 2013? Here is the velvet calendar the best way to start a new era!

Last Saturday I discover a new series on SkyTV, Pan Am. It tells the life of four hostess that work for Pan American World Airways during the Sixties. I really like the style of these girls, so polite, flawless and very Sixties, when the shape of woman was enhanced by clothes. I really like long pencil skirt, chaste blouse and the lovely gloves and hats. In this picture I seem to be one of the Pan Am hostess. Welcome on board!

This is a precious jewellery, the sewing machine of my mum. Surely It is older than me and I'm very affectionate to it. I remember when I was a child, that I observed my mum's sewing clothes for all the family and also for me. Now I'm the one who continues to use it. But recentely it has some problems: when I do zig zag it makes a strange sounds and last time it stopped to sew!!! What can I do now? It needs of a overhaul, but I cant' stop sewing for so long time. I need of a solution....

Dear sewing machine don't give up!

It's winter time and in these period I like to stay inside, drink hot tea and take care of my hyacinths. These pictures are 1 years old and they are took by Giuseppe in his place. I remember I was very talkative that afternoon, I think I talked for hours, I really don't know if Giuseppe's listening to me, anyway He took beautiful pictures!

December's arrived, and also the snow. I'm preparing for Christmas time and the end of the world.....

This is the view from my kitchen where I can see the Dolomites Mountains. I love the landscape in winter!

Here are some interesting stuff that I found at vintage festival. I was attracted by flowers, fabric patterns, bag and more and more....

Thanks Elena for posing!

Vintage Festival is an interesting place because, it seems to be in a completely different place instead of Padua, a quite normal city in the North-East of Italy. There are so many kind of people that probably you'll never meet in a normal day of the week.This is why I took some pics!

 Although the style rockabilly was the most popular, I was surprised to also find some ethnic elements like turban, that I simply love, and strong colors such as green, also in the hair like londoners do, and the red ,in my opinion a must for blonde people for this season.

Finally Vintage Festival is here! I'd been waiting for a long time this event. It 's a fair that takes place for a weekend (14-16 September) in the center of Padua and is an excellent opportunity to find cool stuff and buy interesting things. It's a place to see and be seen.

More info on Vintage Festival

Dolomites are beautiful in September, and this is the best period to hike out. During this weekend there will be a shining sun. Could be the last weekend of summer and I live the moment. Goodbye summer!

It's just a little to understand that began school. If yesterday the streets were empty and at 8 o'clock you could hear only the church bells in the distance and I could ride my bike to work almost in the middle of the road in absolute peace, today the city was a jungle: aggressive mothers in suv looking for parking, screaming kids and the usual traffic. I liked to think a style for this particular day full of expectations.
