A vintage dress boutique in the Roman gardens

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

As you know I’ve got a little passion (very little!) for everything that is vintage…so when I saw this photo shooting by Eleonara Sebastiani, a photographer based in Rome who I simply adore, I was nearly in tears and I did not know which dress to choose from.

They all come from Esterita’s shop VintaChic, a little shop in Rome which sells and rents vintage dresses…Esterita has a fashinating story. She started collecting vintage dresses when she was very little – from her mum and aunts – and then when she was older she started travelling and buying dresses in Europe and US. After working for many years as a costumer designer in US, Esterita moved back to Italy where she opened the Vintage Chic. Now she has a collection of hundreds of dress from different eras and type…I’d love to go to visit her shop…I know I could spend days in there trying all sorts of dresses!!!

I love this cocktail dress from the ’50s – pink chiffon with satin inserts and belt.

This is another jewel from the ’50s! and probably my prefered one. I love the colour and the skirt made of a lot of lace and tulle frills.

A glamorous bride at the Royal theatre in Parma

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013

Hello girls!

Would you like a bit of glamour today?
I found these fabulous photos by Stefan Giftthaler in Vogue Sposa  and I thought to post a few of then in our blog…I think they are simply fab!!!
They were taken in the Royal Theatre in Parma, city famous for being the home town of composer Giuseppe Verdi.

So this photoshooting is a sort of celebration of the old music tradition of this city which is not often included in the most popular tourist destination, but which can be the perfect spot for music lovers!

And now…the fabulous bride…I’ve added details of dresses and accessories below each picture…enjoy!

The dress is by Eddy K., a bridal dress manufacturer based in Milan which I’ve just discovered!

A very elegant mermaid shape dress enriched by lace and beads by Manuel Mota for Pronovias.

This is my preferred one, because it has a vintage touch which reminds me the ’30s – ’40s…The dress is by Jenny Packham.

The first dress is by Ian Stuart Bride and is made in satin and tulle. I love everything of the second dress by Tosca Spose – the simplicity of the satin wide skirt, the big beads applications as well as the lace top!

What about this hairdo??? Simply fabulous! I also love the choker by Marion Godart!
