The Ladybug has a vintage heart (dress)

The Ladybug Chronicles Heart Dress (1)

I need colors, I need love, I need air…I need smile, laughter, friends, kisses, hugs and all the things that I missed during this quarantine.

When I look at these old pictures taken by my colleague (who is such a bad photographer!) I still remember why I was laughing so hard (he was saying things that made me laugh and that I still remember but I can’t repeat here!) and I miss even the good times at work, because many of the people I work with are also my friends and I really enjoy spending time with them!

Today is the first day out, lockdown is over and I can’t wait to take pictures outside again and I decided to celebrate with this post!

This shooting started with another lunch in the Isola Design district in Milan, on the way back to work, when I saw another colored mural that I liked! It was perfect for my vintage outfit of the day:

  • A red, white and navy heart dress from Humana Vintage in Milan…I bought it during the opening of the new store in town because I loved the pattern, the colors and the adorable heart-shaped buttons!
  • A very old vintage red patent belt that I bought many years ago in a second hand store in Capri during a little weekend there when I still lived in Sorrento;
  • An amazing pair of Monet vintage earrings that I ADORE that I found at A Rebours Vintage in Milan (Lisa – the shop owner – is one of the greatest collectors in town!).

Taupe caged boots are an old Jeffrey Campbell pair that I use all the time (you may have seen them on me more than once!) while rings are from El Rana Jewelry and Francesco Tramontano.
