When you know you look your best and feel good about yourself, you’re more likely to project an air of confidence – something that’s especially important for progression in the workplace!
Of course, getting the dress code right for the office isn’t always easy, and these days an increasing number of companies are introducing a smart-casual policy that blurs the line even further.
The key is finding the right balance between personal style and dressing in a way that’s work appropriate!
What you need is setting up a great capsule wardrobe full of "easy to wear" basics!
That way, you can get dressed quickly and easily in the morning and then add a personal touch with your favourite accessories to complete the look!
My key basics pieces to suggest you are a pair of black trousers, comfy shoes and a peplum dress!

My key basics pieces to suggest you are a pair of black trousers, comfy shoes and a peplum dress!
A well-cut pair of classic black trousers is an essential basis for numerous great outfits for work.
They are neutral, so you can pair them with any shirt, blouse or jumper you choose, and they are far more appropriate for the office than a pair of jeans. Black trousers come in all shapes and styles, so pick out a pair that you love, whether it be super skinny or ultra-wide-leg!
You’ll get loads of use out of good-quality, office-appropriate footwear.
Comfy Ted Baker shoes are perfect for work: stylish and slightly quirky without being over the top.
Stick to your own individual style as much as possible and make sure that you select a pair that you love, as well as paying attention to the dress code in your office.
A good tip here is to err on the side of caution, so if your office follows a smart casual rule, opt for something fairly restrained. A good pair of shoes sets the tone of an outfit, so you’ll look like you’ve made an effort even if the rest of your outfit is relaxed and low key.
Bang on trend for autumn, the peplum dress is a great choice for work wear.
Take a style tip from Cheryl Cole, who was snapped out on the town in a double peplum dress in September.
A peplum adds an extra layer of fabric to smooth over the potential problem areas of hips and stomach.
It’s a good way of giving a nod to this season’s latest trend, while still looking smart and pulled together at the office!

This fall it's all about the Dalmatian!
Dalmatian spots add such a funny twist to the standard polka dots and are a great alternative to leopard print this season!
For a bold dalmatian outfit choose a dress, skirt or pants in this print and match it with minimal accessories!
Not brave enough for a total look?
Opt for subtle accents of this pattern with just one key dalmatian accessory (nails, cover phones or bags). Easy right?
Feel like Cruella de Vil and add a spot of Dalmatian to your wardrobe this winter!!
Yes or no for this trend?? Would you rock dalmatian print?
I wait for your opinions girls!! Let me know in a comment below! :)

Finally my favourite shorts from H&M Conscious Collection!!!!
I wanted them badly but couldn't find my size in shops! But at the end here they are and I can't be more happy!!! Since the look is a total nude I added vibrant accessories, Zara red heels and neon necklace!

I have been obsessed with geometric shapes lately, so when I thought what to do with my nails next, I went for the chevron design! It's easier than it looks, but I have to admit..you need a bit of patience to get it! I think the end result is worth it as I love how it makes your nails!
HOW TO CREATE:
Today another summer look with one of the most perfect summer color..aquamarine!
I had already showed you this beautiful one shoulder dress in a sneak peak post HERE.
I added a vintage Versace gold belt to underline and define the waist and also gold and shading blue earrings!
You know how much I love nails manicure, so for this soft aquamarine look I enjoyed to create a chevron manicure with the same color palette!
Let me know what you think of the final outfit!
Finally a proper outfit wearing my new favourite fringe studded shorts from Zara!
I totally love them because they immediately make me think at sun, freedom and good feelings!!
They really were a good sale bargain because since I got them I use them almost every day to create my casual summery outfits!

Also the chandelier top is a new Forever 21 entry in my wardrobe!
The best thing I like about it is that it can be really chic and elegant but also casual..it just depends on how you match it!!! ;)

White nails are a new summer obsession and I just love how they add personality to this outfit!!
Hope you like this look!
I went to the hairdresser to had my hair cut ( just a little bit!) and to adjust my ombre hair color and then I asked for some soft wavy curls..
I love the result so much!
Yes, I was featured on July COSMOPOLITAN (Italian edition) as one of the testers of the new launch PUPA Vamp Mascara!

Today I tried to recreate a very particular Chanel nail art, seen at their Haute Couture Fall 2012 Runway Show.
The idea is to give the classic French manicure a touch of new by using two contrasting shades on one nail!
HOW TO CREATE
The ultimate manicure trend is the Ring Finger Nails!
This new trend comes from the United States and thanks to its popularity among celebrities it's spreading really fast all over the world!

Summer is finally arrived and the days are getting hotter! It's finally time to stay outdoors!
I wanna enjoy the open air but I also want to protect my fair face from sun rays and UVA/UVB damages.

The solution to all my “troubles” comes in an orange tube:
a daily moisturizer, a foundation and a sun block, all in one!
What product I'm talking about??

It is no longer a mystery that I like to mix and remix neon clothes and accessories!
This time I chose this beautiful fluorescent pink tank top from H&M that I had already worn HERE.
Compared to the previous outfit, today I paired the top with a lace skirt bought a few months ago by Hollister.
I choose to wear
just one piece of neon clothing with a neutral color palette to make the bright
color of the top to be the true focus of this outfit!! Let me know if you like it! And to all of you, good weekend!!
p.s. In the last photos you can also see my super chunky phone case..
I know it's not the best of sobriety and semplicity but just for fun I like it!!!

After a long day of study, I took a walk in the evening to distract and relax me a bit!
It's so boring being at home with such a good weather!!
Here I'm wearing a sheer white blouse, perfect for this windy summer day! On my foot a pair of sandals that I love so so much..they have a black base but are entirely covered with blue sequins that shine in the sun!! Aren't they beautiful?? The earrings are another key piece of the outfit with their geometrical shape!!
Let me know what you think of the look!!! And good weekend to all of you!!
Yesterday night it was a very fun friday! I went with my friends to eat sushi that I love so so much and then we went clubbing!

Colourful and bright bikinis are the new trend for SUMMER 2012.
Orange, coral, lime, fuxia, emerald green and aqua blue are the hottest nuance to look for on florals, wild and geometrical prints! Ruffles are very cute and "IN" too!!
With a colored bikini you can't go wrong! They suit all skin type, from dark girls to the most pale one like me!
So grab your favourite one + a sun protection and you are ready for summer!!!!
All bikinis are from H&M (SUMMER COLLECTION 2012 and previous)
