" When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim; Hath put a spirit of youth in everything. "

Hello lovelies!!!

It's Saturday night and I'm snuggled up on the sofa with my sister, eating Chinese food, chatting, laughing and watching many episodes of "Downtown Abbey"...I couldn't ask for anything better!!!

I've just come back from Florence, which is actually my native city, where I spent some days with my grandmother and my relatives that I hadn't seen  for a long time. 

The weather was wonderful, always sunny and warm, so I decided to take advantage of the many beautiful shops in the city centre to do some new purchases.

Spring for me is a really exciting moment , it means flowers, pastel colors, polka dots, shiny green and bright blue so, this time, my want to change has been satisfied with some items I really desired: 

1. a lovely red leather bag I bought in "San Lorenzo's Market"...I've always wanted a satchel like this so, when I saw it in the stand, I decided to make me a little gift!!!

2. a jeans blouse  and a blue one with white polka dots, to be matched with a blue skirt with two adorable pockets on the front;

3. a bright red lipstick...I'm not used to wear such an eye-catching colours, but sometimes we really need to go outside from our comfort zone, right?!! 

4. "Travelling to infinity"...after seeing the movie a few months ago I've always desired to read the book so,  when I came into the library, I felt that it was the right moment to bring it home with me! "Stoner" insted was a birthday gift and it really must be a remarkably good book!!!

What has been your spring best buy?

Lots of Love
