Merry Christmas from Santa and me! Buon Natale! Ho incontrato Babbo Natale oggi!! ;)

Hello cookies,

I bumped into Santa Claus today and found out that he is very modernized or 'motorized'! This red motorbike I'm sitting on actually belongs to him...I guess he has so many gifts to deliver that his reindeers aren't fast enough! :)


Mentre passeggiavo oggi al centro, non credevo ai miei occhi...chi ho visto?? Babbo Natale!! E ho scoperto che si è modernizzato! Mi sono seduta sul suo motorino rosso...beh, sarà che le sue renne non sono veloci abbastanza!! ;)

 

 

 

I love gingerbread cookies so my mother, my friend and I spent the entire morning making these delicious cookies using lots of spices...what a lovely smell!

 

 

Adoro gli biscotti a pan di zenzero quindi mia madre, mia amica ed io abbiamo passato tutta la mattinata a farle, usando molte spezie...che profumino!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS....VI AUGURO UN FELICISSIMO NATALE!

When in Rome...

Roaming around Rome

....Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair....just like this song, I love to wear flowers in my hair. Have a nice weekend!

Boots and Bordeaux

I'm going through a bordeaux phase, here is a jacket I got from Camaieu, a real bargain, and it is nice and warm too.  Tights from Calzedonia

It's been raining quite a lot here in Rome so I had to go and get myself a pair of rainboots  to prevent my feet from getting drenched!

Who says you're too old for Mickey Mouse?... Non si è mai troppo vecchi per topolino!

Necessity vs luxury

We fashion bloggers post about our  clothes, shoes, make-up etc. and sometimes we forget that there are places where people have no access to new clothes, shoes and other necessities. One association which helps the poor is the TRAPANI PER IL TERZO MONDO ONLUS  www.trapaniperilterzomondo.it
They have built a school in Madagascar and they send doctors and medical assistance.  The association also collects used clothes, accessories, toys and shoes and then ships them to the needy in Madagascar. 

Here we are, sorting, folding and packing clothes which will be shipped to Madagascar.

Me with other volunteers.
