It's finally the weekend!

Hello everyone!
This week, celebratng the beginning of summer sales here in Italy, I'll be sharing with you my summer must-have trends that you are probably seing everywhere at the moment!

LACE-UP SANDALS
These are another favorite of mine: both in the short and in the knee-high version. They are pretty, confortable and so boho! Just put them on and you'll look like you just came home from Coachella. 

FLATFORM SHOES
I recently got myself a pair of these shoes and now I cannot live without them! They look amazing with every sporty outfit and they will be my go-tos this winter as well, when i will be pairing them with skinny jeans and leather jackets.
Obviously the original ones are from Stella McCartney, definitely out of my budget, but SOO cool!


VINTAGE T-SHIRTS
Sometimes I just feel like wearing a pair of denim shorts with a soft, oversized and printed t-shirt and, even though these are better looking when bought at thrft stores, sometimes you can find extremely cool ones in shops and websites. I recommend buying shirts with the logo of your favorite bands, brands or films, just so that they can represent your personality a lot better.

PLATFORMS AND WEDGES
It's summer and, who doesn't love partying and going out with this gorgeous weather? Problem is, feet HURT. These shoes are the solution: extra high but super confortable heels. I love platforms because they literally look good with everything: go for a wooden or espadrilla heel for a boho outfit and for a black or metallic one for an edgy look.

SLIP DRESSES
These dresses are such a staple to me! You can get them in the longuette version to have a sexy. lingerie feeling or you can choose the short one for a relaxed but still sensual vibe.
I think they also look really cool with sneakers, baseball caps and denim jackets if you prefer edgy looks or you can pair them with heels and rep lipstick for a date night.


RED LIPS AND TANNED SKIN
Last but not least, how could I forget about makeup! Glowy and tanned skin looks so good with bronze eyeshadow, eyeliner, long eyelashes, bushy eyebrows and red lipstick. Brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Mac, Nars, L'oreal and Maybelline ROCK these looks and you can achieve them copying what has been seen on the runway.

Today, my parents and I decided to go out and take advantage of this beautiful summer day to visit Lake Maggiore, which is more or less two hours away from our city.
We left early in the morning and, after asking for directions to several people, we finally got to Villa Taranto, a beautiful, huge botanical garden in Verbania.
Useless to say, the place was beautiful: not only the plants and the flowers were unique, but also the view on the Lake was astonishing. The sun was shining and the temperature extremely high, but the experience was definitely worth the sweat.
Since it was so hot, I decided to go for a breezy outfit, wearing one of my most recent buys: this grey, almost silver wrap body by Zara. I paired it with distressed dark denim shorts, a lace bralette and flat sandals to keep it confortable.

Last week I went to the seaside for the first time this year and I obvioulsly had to get some new bikinis for the occasion!
So here are my brand-new swimsuits...


This is the first bikini I got in the open-air market in Riccione, so I'm not going to be able to link the same exact one but I'll try to find a similar piece for more or less the same price (5 euros!!)
It is a beautiful cobalt blue strapless bandeau top I paired with a Primark black bikini bottom with blue and light green details that I got a couple moths ago in the UK for 6£... I love how well they look together!




This bikini top is a really cool one because it actually looks like a crop top more than a bra!
I got it from HM last year but this style is such a bestseller that the shop is still selling it right now; the bottom is from the same market I mentioned before and I got it for 5 euros!


As you can see, I loved the blue top so much that I also got it in this turquoise color. This one had its paired bottom in the same color and I bought the whole bikini for just 10 euros!


THIS ONE: Oh My God, I just L O V E it! I got it yesterday from H&M and it is awesome. It's avaliable in this print, in a floral one, in black and in white; both the top and the bottom are 4.99 euros each so I definitely had to get it.
Even though at first the print didn't convince me, as soon as I put it on I fell in love: it'll look so good with a tan!


It was a tiny bit more expensive (14.99 the bra and 12.99 the bottom), but still really cheap. The "oriental" print, the embroidered trim and the silky material are so unique, I couldn't pass it up!
