Elvis is looking at me!!!



Below, my Elvis brooch is looking at me while I'm looking at my Elvis postcard. We're basically always lookin' at each other, The King and I ;)
******************************************************
Mentre Elvis (la spilla) mi guarda, io guardo lui (sulla cartolina).
Ci guardiamo sempre, insomma :)
.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you but I'll say it anyway: I adore this Elvis brooch from Rétro Chérie. Look at that pompadour, those sideburns and those lips!!!
I knew he was mine, the millisecond I laid eyes on him <3
The music note earrings are pretty gorgeous too, right? :)
Inutile dirlo, ma lo dico lo stesso: Elvis con il suo ciuffo, che mi guarda...
questa spilla di Rétro Chérie è da sogno!!!

Elvis and Me

In case you haven't noticed, I'm ''slightly'' obsessed with Elvis :) 
Here's a collection of (a few of) my pictures with The King:
******************************************************
In caso non aveste notato, sono ''leggermente'' ossessionata da Elvis.......
ecco alcune foto di me con il Re del rock'n'roll:
^My favorite place is on the couch, with Elvis! ;)
^Il mio posto preferito in assoluto è sul divano, con Elvis!

A Rockin' New Year

Happy New Year guys and dolls!
How did you celebrate? I sure ate a lot.
Then I sang a few tunes and played my beloved Elvis records.
This is what I wore on New Year's Eve:
******************************************************
Buon Anno a tutti!
Come avete festeggiato?? Io ho mangiato e mangiato.
Poi ho messo i dischi del mio cantante preferito ;)
Ecco come mi sono vestita la vigilia di Capodanno:
A ''resting'' pose. Swinging them arms and legs around is hard work, you know!

Here's to a rockin' 2016!

A snack with The King

Having worn my Elvis apron-dress today, I just had to make something from 
The Presley Family Cookbook. This book is full of Elvis' favorite southern dishes. 
Since I had some wholewheat bread and natural peanut butter in the house, 
I decided to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
 I have to say, Elvis and I share the same taste in food!! <3
Though I have a big appetite, I'm a pretty lousy cook... 
I think my sandwiches turned out all right though. 
What do you think, are they fit for a King? ;)
Visto che oggi mi sono messa il mio grembiule-vestito con Elvis dappertutto, ho tirato fuori il ricettario della famiglia Presley e ho prepararato dei tramezzini con burro d'arachidi e banane. Una delle pietanze preferite di Elvis! 
Che ne pensate, questi panini sono degni di un Re? ;)

Elvis Presley Inspired Outfits - How to dress like The King!


Elvis Presley is an eternal icon who left a huge imprint on the world and continues to inspire millions, consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously (yes, even after fainting ;)). I bump into teenage boys on the street with pompadours soo reminiscent of Elvis. Then on TV, Elvis' songs are blasting in commercials and just the other day I was watching the movie, ''Garfield'' where even the orange cat gets his hair done like Elvis! He says ''Well thank you, thank you very much ladies and gentlemen,'' while executing a karate move :) To say I love Elvis, is an understatement. He's my number one idol, my number one source of inspiration. Here are three Elvis inspired looks: 


1.) Total denim look
This look never goes out of fashion. It seems this is a recent trend but it goes way back! Here is a picture of Elvis in the movie, Roustabout (1964).

It's so easy to recreate this look! I got my jeans shirt and men's style, lace up shoes from Oviesse (a low-cost Italian store). My jeans are from Zuiki, another low cost clothing brand. I wear these three essential items so often, either together or separately. A black guitar is an optional accessory ;)

2.) Relaxin' on the couch, Elvis style
For this comfy outfit, you'll need a white bowling shirt, light colored pants and white shoes. My bowling shirt from Cruisin' USA is baby pink, with a black collar while my vintage pants are light apricot and they look exactly like Elvis', right?? As for the shoes, I couldn't find my saddle shoes, so I just wore white socks :)

3.) Jailhouse Rock outfit 
You'll need the darkest jeans and denim jacket you own, a striped tee and black shoes. Swing your hips and you'll be dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock in no time!

I can't promise you any pictures of me wearing Elvis' stunning, gold lamé suit or his iconic white jumpsuit, but stay tuned for more Elvis inspired style! :)

Dire che amo Elvis sarebbe un eufemismo! Lui è il mio idolo, la mia fonte di ispirazione. Il re del rock and roll è un eterna icona che ha lasciato un segno nel mondo e continua tuttora ha ispirare milioni di persone, sia coscientemente che inconsapevolmente. Camminando per strada mi imbatto sempre in ragazzini con ciuffi che ricordano Elvis. In TV, si sentono le canzoni di Elvis nelle pubblicità. L'altro giorno guardavo il film, 'Garfield' su Italia Uno e perfino il gatto arancione imitava Elvis!!! :) Spero che vi siano piaciuti i miei tre look ispirati a Elvis!
