Summer Festival Looks Styled by Sonia Verardo

Hello beauties!

I have a new styling video for you guys!

I worked on this project for StyleMeTV, the theme was Summer Festival Looks.

I put together 5 different outfits that I believe are perfect for summer festivals, because a lot of them are styled with DIY pieces (old "rags" that I made trendy again!), lots of colorful & statement accessories...I think these outfits are really hip, just perfect for listening to some good music, enjoying life & having fun! :)

What do you think?

Which one is your favourite outfit?

Leave me your comments!

Don't forget to check out my styling video, where you can find out more info on all the clothes that I'm wearing in these pics!

Thanks for watching!

Love from Italy, have a beautiful summer!

FASHION: Two New Looks!! (Edgy Rocker Chic & Cute Office Style)...plus a mini haul& fashion ramblings...

Well hello!

It's such a bad weather here in Italy, rainy & dull grey...

I'm off work so I haven't got much to do but play with my new clothes (that I bought on this past winter sales) & create new looks, film a video...

...& later possibly do some housework (ahem!)...

My fashion video is already up & you can watch it HERE ;)

Here are the outfits that I put together:

I'm wearing:

• Men's shirt: H&M
• Basic cotton long top with lace: H&M
• Leather look leggings: Pimkie
• Faux fur bag: Pull & Bear
• Skull print T-shirt: H&M (young boy dept.)
• Belt: H&M
• Rocker/chic inspired bold bracelet: Imaty's fashion factory
• A random selection of dark green & black glass bead bracelets: H&M

I'd say, this second outfit is ideal for work/ office (if you don't have a strict dress code,obviously)...

I'm wearing:

• Bow print blouse: Pimkie
• High waisted skirt: Pimkie
• Black cotton leggings: H&M
• Grey wool coat: H&M
• Faux fur collar: H&M
• Ballet flats: just a no name brand, bought in a local shop here in bella Italia! ;)

I also stocked up on some basic tights (these tear so easily, one can never have enough!!), basic cotton tops & cute scarves that I found for only 2-3 €!!

I wear scarves as a fashion accessorie almost all year round (in spring& summer I'll wear the light material ones, of course!), so I was happy to get them on sale for such a steal!

Overall result- I really like this casual look for every day:

Basic cotton top
by Pull & Bear.
Great clothing item for casual
outfits & for layering!

My casual outfit :

• Basic cotton top: Pull & Bear
• Scarf: Pull & Bear
• Baggy fit jeans: Pull & Bear
• Earrings: a local 1€ store
• Tights are by Pompea.

Which one of these outfits represents your personal style the most?

I'll talk to you soon girls, big kiss from Italy,

Fashion & Style: My Grey Dress From Zara (OOTD)

Hello girls!

On this past sales I got tons of amazing deals!

 (Like you don't already know, lol, I don't talk about anything else these days...)

 One of them was definitely this grey dress by Zara collection.

It was almost 80% off, so I didn't mind buying it in a size M, when I actually am a size S, or XS :)

Because of the model of the dress, I believe I can pull off a nice outfit even with a size/two sizes up than my usual size.

In most cases, I'm not discouraged at all if I don't manage to find my size: I should say, 70% of the cases, I find out that I can wear other sizes as well and make them look pretty cute on me! 

I love wearing this dress with my cropped dark grey jacket (by Zara), with my grey ankle high slouch boots, or a simple black leather biker style boots...

... or with a girly ballet flats! (now that spring is aproaching, I'll wear this combination more often. Currently it's still too cold here to wear ballet flats sighh...)

Don't miss out on my fashion video, where you can see all these footwear& more styling tips ;)

I accessorized my dress by layering the necklaces: I'm wearing my dainty gold necklace with heart shaped pendant and two angel pendants (gift from my Grandparents& my Dad when I was just an infant), my silver fairy necklace& the bold metal necklace that I inherited from my hubby's relative.

I just love layering these necklaces!
:)

How are you dressed today?

Here are my outfits:

Outfit #1
Styling my new lace shorts...

I got these lace shorts at Jennifer fashion store
 for only 9 €!
Lace is a hot trend right now!!!

An oversized white basic top is
from H&M
(I got mine in a size M)

Aren't these the cutest earrings ever?
These totally complete the styling! I'm loving them :)

Lace trend is currently a very hot trend& if you can, definitely go& buy something that has got a lace details or it's made entirely out of lace! It can be shorts, skirt, top, or just an accessorie, depending on your personal preference!

This is the trend that we're going to see still very IN during the upcomming spring& summer season.

Outfit # 2

A polka dot shorts is a very cute clothing item, but be careful how you style it.
Just a simple, solid colour sweather, shirt or a cardigan as a top part of the outfit,
will do! :)

Aren't shorts a great piece of clothing items to wear all year round?

In winter& fall pair them with tights or leggings to stay warm!

Outfit # 3

Bohemian chic inspired dress,
12€ at Pimkie store.

I'm loving these earrings, they go so well with this
bohemian inspired styling!

I'm definitely a girl who feels very at ease in a bohemian chic inspired outfits, so

this is one of my favourite styling.

The dress that I showed you here is a dress that I'm going to wear a lot during the spring& summer months.

Outfit # 4

During the sales, I stocked up on my basic
T-shirts in every colour possible! ;)

Outfit # 5

Leopard print T-shirt is from
Bershka 4.99 €

I got these earrings in Croatia years ago,
I love them& I think these are perfect for the outfit with
a leopard print top& a dark blue jeggings!

I hope you guys like my fashion/styling ideas!

Have fun styling yourself pretty :)
