Exciting news: I'm Spreadingcolor's social ambassadress!

Hello guys!

I have a very exciting announcement to make: I became SpreadingColor's social ambassadress and will be promoting their style and updating you with their fashion news, on my social medias!

I couldn't be happier, because this opportunity came in the right moment: I had just seen "The True Cost" documentary, that talks about our consumist's society and fashion industry polluting our planet and exploiting workers in the poor countries. It was a true eye opener, and, even though I know I'm not going to be able to change drastically overnight, I started to be more aware of my habits as a consumer and being more consciouss about my impact as a fashion blogger, on other consumers.

I really wanted to team up with smaller brands and local producers and support them in their effort to do business in a correct, ethical way (this is something, you may remember, that I've already done in the past, by promoting local italian manufactures). 

When SpreadingColor approached me, I instantly knew I wanted to work with them!
Their focus is producing a great quality items: Pieces that will last in your wardrobe for years to come! And this is exactly what I want to do from now on: Buy less, but buy better quality items!
Their clothes are made in Italy, and I support them 100%.

Now let's talk a bit about the brand:

Spreading Color's theme is to bring fashionable, colorful, elegant and unique clothing for women. They are inspired by the fashion of South America and Eastern Europe, as these countries tend to have a very colorful lifestyle and way of dressing. They want to bring more color to people's lives and want to make it easier for people to find color, in fact they will achieve this by only offering color in their store!

The store will have a grand opening next Saturday 29th of April. so show them some support by checking them out & spreading the word about them on your social medias!
In collaboration with SpreadingColor, for this occasion, we prepared a 15% discount for all my viewers/readers! At checkout, enter the coupon code SONIAVERARDO

Right now, I'm loving their "Piu Piu" dresses!
Here you can see the "Piu Piu" Paisley Dress "Sunset Kiss" and  the "Piu Piu" Red & White Dress, both made in Italy.

From their store's offer, I picked the gorgeous "Piu Piu" Red & White dress. I can't wait to show it to you guys, how it fits and how I style it!
This is going to be one of my most worn pieces this Spring!

To celebrate the launch of their store, SpreadingColor is now giving away 20 € gift cards to the first 500 subscribers to their mailing list!

So hurry up, there's only 11 gift cards left! All you need to do is sign up to their newsletter by entering your e-mail address ( more details here!).

Yeay! I hope to bring you soon an outfit post feat. SpreadingColor's bright & "happy" clothes!

Stay tuned for more!

My jewellery line, Pika jewellery: Behind the scenes!

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend and that you managed to relax and have fun!
Mine was quite busy at work, but today I slept long and got plenty of rest :-) I love Mondays!
In today's post, I'd like to present you the whole "behind the scenes" of my jewellery line!
As I promised back in December, when I was launching my jewellery line, I wanted to introduce you to the person who is behind the whole process of making Pika jewellery!
So today you get to meet Mr. Mario Scaglione, an italian craftsman with a long tradition in making jewellery. I visited him in his workshop/ studio, and interviewed him, and we also showed you how he handmakes my jewellery line!

You can also subscribe to my youtube channel, if you haven't yet,  here! It means a lot! :-)


In this video, the whole accent is on quality and unique designs. I teamed with Mr. Scaglione because I wanted to promote the "Made in Italy" and the local production!

U danasnjem postu predstavljam vam cijeli proces proizvodnje moje linije nakita! 
Kao sto sam vam i obecala prije mjesec dana, kada je moja linija nakita i sluzbeno bila objavljena i  pustena u prodaju, predstaviti cu vam osobu koja stoji iza Pika nakita!
Vodim vas u radionicu gdina. Maria Scaglionea, zlatara/ obrtnika iz okolice Padove, sa dugogodisnjom tradicijom izrade nakita.
Sa njim sam obavila mali intervju, a pokazali smo vam i na koji nacin on rucno izraduje Pika nakit! 
U ovom projektu naglasak je na kvaliteti i jedinstvenom dizajnu.
 Promoviram "Made in Italy", lokalnu proizvodnju  prepoznatljivu po stilu i kvaliteti, a koja je danas sve vise zasjenjena masovnom proizvodnjom i potrosnosti robe iz Kine.

Christmas Gift Guide: Italian Quality and Style with Pelletterie Zubiolo

Past week, my blog was welcomed by the family Zubiolo in their lovely store situated in the centre of the town Mestre in Italy.
I'm doing a series for my youtube channel called "Christmas Gift Guide", where I'm visiting stores & interviewing craftsmen in Italy, presenting you their products and hopefully giving you some inspiration as to what could you give as a gift to your beloved ones!

In the new video that I uploaded on my youtube channel, I presented you the italian store "Pelletterie Zubiolo", owned by Zubiolo family, since 1946.
I met Mrs. Lorella, who was very friendly & kindly agreed to an interview! Together, we picked out some of our favourite items from the store, that we think would be an awesome Christmas gift!
I thought presenting "Pelletterie Zubiolo" to you is a great idea, because they sell high quality products and most of the things they have in their offer (bags, belts, gloves, wallets, shoes...) are actually designed by them, and handcrafted in Modena, Italy by a craftsmen with a long tradition in this field!


Don't miss out on this video, because in it I'm bringing you a lot of warm Christmas atmosphere from Italy ♥♥

You can find "Pelletterie Zubiolo" on facebook!

"Pelletterie Zubiolo" wishes to all my readers happy holidays, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! ♥♥

Prosli tjedan moj blog bio je u posjeti poznatom talijanskom ducanu "Pelletterie Zubiolo", smjestenom u srcu grada Mestre u Italiji.
Obitelj Zubiolo docekala me sa osmijehom i srdacnom dobrodoslicom!
U sklopu projekta kojeg snimam za svoj youtube kanal, a radi se o idejama za bozicne poklone, posjecujem ducane i obrtnike u Italiji, koji su se istaknuli svojom ponudom i kvalitetom. Zajedno iz njihove bogate ponude izdvajamo predmete za koje mislimo da su odlicne i originalne poklon ideje, te da bi vam mogle posluziti kao inspiracija.

Gdja. Lorella koju sam imala prilike intervjuirati u mom bozicnom videu jako je simpaticna i ljubazna osoba! Odmah je pristala sa mnom odabrati najljepse ideje za bozicne poklone iz "Pelletterie Zubiolo" ducana :)
Kroz smijeh i "cakulu" uspjele smo sloziti zanimljiv video prilog za vas!

Meni je bila velika cast biti ugoscena u "Pelletterie Zubiolo" ducanu, iz razloga sto se ducan istice dugogodisnjom tradicijom (otvoren je od 1946. god.) i kvalitetom.
Vecina predmeta u njihovoj ponudi (torbice, remeni, novcanici, rukavice itd.), njihov je dizajn, a za njih ih izraduju obrtnici iz Modene!

Nadam se da ce vam se video svidjeti, kao i ove fotografije (zasluge idu StileItalia fotografu!), a "Pelletterie Zubiolo" i ja zelimo vam lijepe i sretne blagdane, Cestit Bozic i Sretnu Novu godinu! Puse iz Italije ♥♥
