Outfit - Total denim e top romantico

 Outfit - Total denim e top romantico 

Un total look in denim , per una giornata di corsa, senza il tempo di abbinare colori ;)  il jeans è forse tra le soluzioni migliori, assieme ai colori neutri , almeno per me. Sopra una camicia vintage, sotto un top vezzoso in pizzo, jeans tagliati consunti di H&M, zeppe, una borsa in eco croco, che stava bene con le scarpe. A ripensarci forse gli orecchini stavano bene con tutto tranne la borsa, così come l' orologio, ma non ci ho pensato troppo perché appunto andavo di corsa ;) anni fa comunque facevo abbinamenti ben più' stridenti ;).

Tornando al denim se già non avete a casa qualcosa di basico, trovate molte cose carine e accessibili su Asos se vi piace il tema ;) 

anche zeppe e borse sfiziose di colori naturali anche in ecopelle

( che non guasta mai) I top in pizzo si trovano molto facilmente nei mercatini estivi anche all' estero.

In fondo vi ho preparato una piccola selezione a tema ;) 

voi che ne pensate ? vi piacciono in genere i total look in denim ? 

e vi piace il mio look e la mia selezione ? 

baci! Amy

Press: Intervista sul blog di Pashion Victim - English version Interview on Pashion Victim

ITA - Buongiorno ! come state? ecco qui un progetto interessante in cui ho avuto il piacere dei essere tra le prime blogger coinvolte ;) 

era da un po' che ne ero a conoscenza ma solo ora vi svelo di cosa si tratta: una piattaforma per blogger e brand perché le collaborazioni siano frutto soprattutto della passione e dell' impegno di entrambe le parti ;) 

Pashion Victim , non Fashion Victim anche perché ci si deve credere in ciò che si fa, in tutto quello che si fa senza essere appunto vittime dei cliché o delle mode passeggere ma credendo anche nelle novità o in quello che si conosce meno. la parola PASHION è una fusione tra FASHION e PASSION ;) 

qui potete leggere la mia intervista : pashionvictim.com/new-in-amanda-marzolini-the-fashionamy

tra l' altro per la prima volta ho fatto una foto con la mano a "V" tra le più' comuni tra le bloggers, anche se non sono molto brava in queste pose ;) 

grazie a Matteo Margini e Andrea Beck Melegari 

se vi piace condividetela su Facebook e Twitter ;) fatemi sapere che ne pensate e grazie mille perché ogni risultato è merito di chi mi segue ;) un abbraccio! Amy

ENG - Hello ! here i am with another chapter about the growth of my blog ;)  a new project called "Pashion Victim", a website where brands and bloggers can meet to collaborate , i'm one of the first blogger involved in ;)

I'm back! With Instatravel Diary Part 1 - Paris

Bad blogger, bad blogger!

I am so so sorry for going MIA for as long as I have.  Paris/France was much busier than I thought it'd be (which was very nice for a change), and the only night I had access to a computer with internet was the night I had to pack my suitcase...

I had an amazing time, met amazing people (Nathalie, Olivier & Jeremy: here's looking at you), met my favourite Haute Couture designer Yiqing Yin and was blown away by her show (as well as backstage), ate incredible food (too much!), spent priceless time with my family, traveled to Champagne and Provence (and 2 days in London), did a spot of shopping (more on that sometime later), and just had an absolute blast!

I got back late last week and jet-lag has been horrendous (still is, especially since Lil Brigs #2 has been sleeping terribly too).  I have been meaning to share some of my 2,000 or so photos, but I accidentally deleted my Photoshop! With my pictures take in RAW form it'd take forever to upload them, so until I have that sorted, I thought I'd share some of my Instagram pics.  I still hope/intend on sharing my actual camera pictures (I took a few snaps of fashionistas I often feature on this blog!), and I know a few of you may have seen these already, but since not everyone's on Instagram, here is my first installment (in a reverse chronological order, just to be extra confusing - start from the bottom going from right to left):

So working from bottom to top, right to left:

1. Cool flooring at London's 'Duck & Waffle'
2. Cool bottles hanging from the ceiling of 'Duck & Waffle'
3. Haute Couture show invites
4. View from the apartment in Le Marais (opposite Martin Grant's 'institute')
5. View from the apartment in Le Marais
6. Backstage pass to Yiqing Yin's Haute Couture show
7. View from my bedroom
8. What I wore (Saba top, Zara skort, Nike & Chanel reissue)
9. Inside Dries Van Noten's flagship store
10. Plaid at Dries Van Noten
11. New collection at Dries Van Noten
12. Late night gateaux
13. Outfit (Chloe dress, Dries Van Noten clutch)
14. Outside Grand Palais - Chanel Haute Couture
15. Heading to Stephane Rolland's Couture show
16. Backstage pass to Stephane Rolland
17. Waiting for bus to go to Julien Fourne's Couture show
18. Beautiful invite to Oscar Carvallo's Couture show
19. Late night dessert at the apartment
20. Outfit worn to day 3 (standing outside for Serkan Cura's Couture show - 3.1 Phillip Lim rosette dress, Isabel Marant Betty sneakers & Chanel bag)
21. Serkan Cura 'Constellation'
22. Instavideo of the Serkan Cura show
23. Lunch - melted goats chevre salad
24. Backstage at Yiqing Yin's Couture show 25. Ditto

Music Event !Oggi a Napoli, la Musica Dance Elettronica di NERVO al VODAFONE UNLIMITED PARTY

Music Event ! La Musica  Dance Elettronica di NERVO al  VODAFONE UNLIMITED PARTY a Napoli 

Il duo australiano Nervo animerà la notte dell’Arenile, oggi 30 luglio

Buongiorno a tutti! Oggi vi parlo di un evento molto interessante a cui a causa di impegni di lavoro non potrò partecipare , però lo condivido ugualmente con voi perché è top!  e poi le protagoniste le adoro ! sono autentiche icone di stile a cui chi ama  la moda pop, rock e indie non può' resistere !!! Siete di Napoli ? siete nei dintorni stasera ??? allora fa per voi ;) 
Si tratta di Vodafone Unlimited Party evento che già aveva toccato Gallipoli ( altro luogo da vedere ) 
ebbene ora il  Vodafone Unlimited Party arriva il 30 luglio all’Arenile di Napoli. L’evento Vodafone Italia, segue il concorso lanciato e promosso sul web. Lo scopo è di portare grandi artisti internazionali in tre località marittime italiane , con musica, divertimento e atmosfere suggestive ;) S e avete la fortuna di essere a Napoli e dintorni oggi proprio non ve lo potete perdere! 

si propone portare musica, divertimento e grandi artisti internazionali in tre località marittime italiane: dopo Gallipoli e Napoli, l’ultima tappa sarà a Fregene il prossimo 4 agosto. Se infatti non riusciste per stasera è bello sapere che c'è un altra occasione ;) 

Volete sapere chi sono i protagonisti  musicali ??

 Il duo australiano Nervo, loro hanno esordito con David Guetta nel 2009 ;) ( anche lui mi piace molto !!) 

dopo gli esordi al fianco di David, le ragazze hanno saputo conquistare la vetta delle classifiche dance internazionali con il singolo 2013 “Hold On”. in fondo al post vi metto anche dei video musicali dei loro brand che sono davvero favolosi e anche il mio genere musicale preferito  ( dance elettronica ).

Oltre al duo Nervo , saranno presenti sul palco anche alcuni DJ made in Italy: Daddy’s Groove é un giovane e promettente trio proveniente proprio da Napoli, celebre per le esibizioni come resident djs al Pacha e all’Ushuaia di Ibiza ( e scusate se è poco !!) La serata sarà invece aperta da Congorock, producer leccese conosciuto per i suoi remix e per i suoi trascinanti DJ Set e Pink is Punk, duo milanese che ha firmato l’apertura degli ultimi concerti di Jovanotti negli stadi.  qui un LINK YOU TUBE

La serata di Napoli - così come successo a Gallipoli e il prossimo 4 agosto a Fregene - sarà presentata da Max Brigante di Radio 105

L’inizio dell’Unlimited Party è previsto per le ore 20.00, l’ingresso é gratuito e aperto a tutti. Tutti i Clienti Vodafone potranno godere di un trattamento da veri VIP, con ingresso agevolato e accesso ad aree dedicate, per godere al meglio dello spettacolo.

Per informazioni sugli Unlimited Parties e sugli artisti che si esibiranno nelle tre serate del tour è possibile consultare la pagina facebook www.facebook.com/vodafoneunlimited.

vi metto una serie di foto, come detto delle Nervo e del precedente evento di Gallipoli ;)
