Fausto Puglisi launch party @ Dante5

Hello there love-bugs, it's been a while since my last post but i had to move back to Milano and you know how stressful moving can be ;)
The last day before driving back to Milano i attended a launch party for the new Fausto Puglisi's F/W collection. I've always been a huge fan of his work, i love the way he cuts the dresses, it's sexy but elegant at the same time and the way he can embellish them is poetry.
The party was hosted by Dante5, a pretty popular high-end boutique in Bari. I had a lovely time and i had the possibility to meet in person Anna Dello Russo, she was wearing a pair of red and gold Prada sandals to die for.
The collection it self i really liked, the fil rouge was red and black tartan, a pattern i particularly love wearing, embellished by his signature decorations.
Let me know in the comments down below if you like the outfits he designed and if you do which one is your favorite!

Buondì a tutti, è passato quale giorno dal mio ultimo post ma ho avuto veramente pochissimo tempo libero essendo dovuta tornare a Milano per iniziare le lezioni in facoltà e se anche voi siete nei club degli studenti fuori sede potrete ben comprendere quanto sia disagevole tutto ciò.
Durante il mio ultimo giorno a Bari ho partecipato al party per il lancio della nuova collezione di Fausto Puglisi. Sono sempre stata una grande estimatrice del suo lavoro, adoro il taglio che riesce a dare ai vestiti, sono sexy ed eleganti allo stesso tempo per non parlare del modo in cui riesce a bilanciare perfettamente le applicazioni su di essi. 
L'evento è stato organizzato da Dante5, una celebre boutique barese. Ho passato un piacevole pomeriggio ed ho anche avuto la possibilità di conoscere personalmente Anna Dello Russo, indossava un paio di sandali Prada rossi e dorati meravigliosi. 
La collezione presentata da Fausto Puglisi era molto interessante, il fil rouge era il tartan rosso e nero, uno dei miei pattern preferiti, ovviamente arricchito da dettagli e applicazioni simbolo del suo stile. 
Fatemi sapere nei commenti qui sotto cosa ne pensate della collezione e qual'è il vostro outfit preferito.

Mmmh-muffins

Muffins are one of the easiest thing to bake, anyone can make them! But making the perfect muffin, thats a all other story. The perfect muffins has that amazing golden "tanned" color, it's a little crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. I aways struggled to get the inside moisture; i read hundreds of cookbooks, watched every possible cooking show on TV but i just couldn't get it right, it always ended up being dry.
One time, i was on a rush so i didn't have much time to blend the ingredients nicely together, the butter in particular was a little chunky. I decided to ignore that and keep going. I didn't have very high expectation due to the lack of time but when i took them out of the oven it was magic. They were the perfect cold color and perfectly moisturized inside. The chunky butter prevented the batter from drying, creating an heavenly tasting little treat.
Long story short, i wanted to share with you this little trick and my favorite chocolate chip recipe.


Ingredients for 6 muffins:
-200g of flour
-100g of white sugar
-1tbs of baking powder (or whatever you use to leaven)
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-2 eggs
-milk (add until you get the perfect consistency, not too runny not to thick)
-1 teaspoon of salt
- 100g of chocolate chips ( you can add more if you want)
-100g of butter

1- in a bowl mix together the flour, the sugar, the baking powder and the salt.
2- add the eggs and the milk slowly while mixing. I think it works best if you use just a regular whisk and no electronic devices. 
3- add the vanilla extract and then add little pieces of butter. Stir until you get your butter chunks the size of a small bean. 
4- add the chocolate chips 
5- poor the batter in the muffin cups and cook for 20min (180°)

To check if the muffins are ready before the 20min, take a toothpick and poke the muffin down to the centre, if it comes out clean and the muffins have a nice golden color, they are ready!
This is my regular chocolate chip recipe, if you want me to write the healthy recipe, please let me know :)

Enjoy!
