A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND OCCURRENCE AROUND MY WAIST . .

We just came back from Italy. My old home. Still the place where I would like to live May to September at least! Yes, I love the warm weather and anything even close to a beach and the seaside. What do I do when I visit home? Spend as much time as possible with my family and my girls. One of my tattoos is dedicated to them ‘parte di me‘. I also try to relax reading. My favourite holiday writer? Will you all judge me if I say Madeleine Wickham, pen Sophie Kinsella? 🙂 My London life is so hectic that I love to abandon myself to the universe created around the novels of bestselling Shopaholic series. I am currently reading the Wedding Night! I find myself laughing when I read her novels and that’s exactly what I want from a holiday reading. 
Talking about me and my time off. Here are some photos taken in our London back garden. (Still my long hair and highlights – new haircut and colour on my Instagram @nickyinsideout). Together with spring, I re-discovered one of my checked shirts. It’s always one of the first piece I wear during the change of winter to summer closet. Having been wearing it so much (and having thought of getting rid of it so many times and then regretted the decision after few minutes), I am now wearing it around my waist. Ending at the same place is now often my denim jacket and my sweaters. This time paired with distressed denim and a tee. I always tend to put together effortless, casual outfits not too feminine.
Comfy? Always. Girly? Not for me.

A SUNNY DAY IN LONDON

Here is a simple, yet stylish and easy to wear outfit that I find simply beautiful and wore this week. 
White shirt, distressed denim and converse. 
This is a gorgeous and very usual set I love to wear on my day off!

Also, I am wearing my new MaxMara necklace which you probably have seen already on my Instagram, if you follow me (here).

FLASH SPHERE DON’T CARE

. . ermmh, I actually do! Not completely sure a manager can present herself at work tomorrow with flashy blue-green shimmering nails. But today I got completely carried away by this Essie Naughty Nautical. On Sunday we will be in Italy so my mind is already crossing white summer outfits . . forgive me!!

CHANGE OF SPOT

In my last post I wrote about Nicky vs London weather 0-1 (here). But the flu didn’t pose a threat to me heading to the Netherlands for a long weekend already planned for months. So I went. Gradually I got better and we spent 2 days at The Hague, where my boyfriend family lives, and the rest of the time in Amsterdam. 

Below, I proudly present you my new Celine purchase (and the very quick outfit I put together that day – being still sick) which of course I absolutely adore.

You can see the rest of my weekend pictures on my Instagram. Follow me @nickyinsideout.

YOU TRICKY LONDON

I should know better after all these years in London. Am I a cold season lover? Nope. I was born and raised by the Italian seaside. So at least I should be cautious. Also the cold and rainy weather lower my spirits. In fact, at the first raises of sun and the calendar tells me it’s mid April. Here I go all sleeveless and in a denim jacket. Like I would do back home indeed.  

I live in a country where girls go around almost completely unclothed. It is not a myth, believe me, the English do not feel the cold. The day, they go around in stocking and pumps. In the evening, micro dresses, no coats, no jackets, no tights. 
Not speaking about the Dutch. During winter time, my boyfriend jumps on the bike, still with wet hair! Leaving me in shock. And I in all this? I wear a t-shirt for a couple of days in the sun and I am sick. I am not expressing a criticism. I admit. I ‘m envious!

Did I think this year would be different? Yes! Like I do every year. 
Did I ended up in bed with the flu? Yes! Like I do every year.
You tricky London! 
And me? I never learn.

On a different note, some of my looks were published today by the online magazine LOOK. So if you like my blog and my pictures it would be really nice to vote, it only takes few seconds! Grazieee 🙂
