WAITING FOR SANTA: A day on the Duomo

Hey everyone, today i would like to share with you guys an outfit of the day i shoot few days ago when my best friends came to visti me in Milano.
If you happen to be in the city on a clear blue sky day i highly recommend  to go on top of the Duomo like we did; the view is breathtaking, it's one of the very few times you would be able to see the mountains that surround Milano. The contrast between the concrete of the city and the daintiness of nature is truly beautiful.
I managed to climb the 200 steps that take you on top in my Burberry stiletto boots, quite an achievement!
I kept my outfit and makeup very simple, the only accent of extravagance is the Arctic Monkeys beanie.
I hope you guys will like it :)

Ciao a tutti, oggi vorrei condividere con voi un outfit che ho scattato non molto tempo in occasione della visita dei miei migliori amici a Milano. 
Se doveste trovarvi anche voi a visitare la città un giorno e foste così fortunati da beccare il cielo terso, vi consiglio di salire in cima al duomo. La vista è impagabile, si riescono a vedere le montagne che circondano la città ed il binomio paesaggio urbano-naturale è incredibile. 
Non so come ma sono riuscita a scalare i 200 gradini che portano fino alla cima con degli stivaletti a lancia Burberry, ne vado abbastanza fiera. 
L'outfit in se è molto semplice esattamente come il makeup, l'unico accento stravagante è forse il beanie degli Arctic Monkeys a cui sono molto affezionata. 
Spero vi piaccia :)

WAITING FOR SANTA: RedEnvelope and Rigabelle

Hello everyone, wow it's already the 12th of December, this month is flying by, the next thing you know its' going to be Christmas day!
Today i would like to introduce to you two cool companies that i have recently discovered.
Have you ever had a friend or a relative that lives far away from you but that you still wanted to buy a gift for? It's always difficult to wrap it pretty and ship it hoping that it will get there on time; it really takes a lot of time.
Rigabelle and Redenvelope are companies that help you find the perfect gift for your special someone and then ship it to them wrapped up in a stunning packaging.

Rigabelle is a company established in March 2013, they are specialized in very unique high quality gifts. You pick the price range, gender of the receiver of the gift and his preference and they will chose some items to send. Rigabelle is all about the surprise, you don't know what you are getting so if you are not very good a choosing presents but you still what to get someone a nice present, this is the website for you.
I had the chance to ask them a few questions about their website and stuff because i was very curious to learn more.

HOW DO YOU SELECT THE ITEMS TO INCLUDE IN THE GIFT?

1. We're doing our best to choose the presents according to the survey that person is filling out before payment. Also it's a never-ending search for new and creative from all over the world from different brands and Handmade masters.

WHEN DID YOU START THE COMPANY AND WHY?

2. Rigabelle was established in 2013 March. We love gifts which bring satisfaction, we create personalized gifts and always appreciate the highest quality. That's how Rigabelle was born.

WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO BUY A RIGABELLE GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS?

3. We recommend Rigabelle to anyone who knows what he/she is looking for. If you want your present to be original, creative and fits taste, with no doubt you have to choose Rigabelle.

If you like to chose the presents yourself that i would recommend Redenvelope; it's a company that through a werbsite allows you to pick from the wide of items they offer to find the perfect gift to your special someone They have something for all ages; from beauty, to food, to fashion, even home decor. Everything gets wrapped in a pretty red box, that's why is called Redenvelope, and shipped in time for Christmas eve.

Unfortunately Redenvelope only ships to the U.S. while Rigabelle ships worldwide. If you know any other companies like these, let me know in the comments don't below also let me know if you have ever used one of these two companies. Have a great day!
