The blue lagoon πŸ’™

Do you ever dream about a beautiful island somewhere in the blue lagoon? I dream about it even when I’m not sleeping πŸ’™. On my dream vacation last winter, I travelled to the two islands Maui and Honolulu, Oahu in Hawaii. It was soo beautiful! I’m always daydreaming to go with the waves. If in May or June I am stranded on an island in the blue lagoon, this is my summer luxury that I would take with me:

πŸ’™ La Perla mare: the swim collection is beautiful in blue, very suitable for il dolce far niente on a pure white beach.

πŸ’™ Choo’sΒ spring/summer collection is perfect for a summer expedition in the city or for exploring an island with classy Choo trainers and a small rebel bag in sand.

πŸ’™ Kopari beauty: I love all things coco from Kopari beauty, based on the caring sweetness of organic coconut oil.

πŸ’™ The spring and summer collections 2018 from Milano, Paris and New York are so beautiful and now available in the (online) boutiques. My daily luxury for the summer is inspired by the delicate dresses from Salvatore Ferragamo, Oscar de la Renta and Saint Laurent.

A lovely summer to you, wherever you’ll be πŸ’™ For moda, daily luxury and beautiful places, you can follow me on www.nickybianca.com and https://nl.pinterest.com/nicky_bianca/

Il dolce far niente in Italy πŸ’™Β 

Il dolce far niente in Italy πŸ’™ beautiful places in Italy to be lazy_

il-dolce-far-niente-in-italy

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, between summer sadness and winter blues, I need some days to sleep and chill a little. Some lazy daysΒ in a beautiful place in Italy would be a good idea! In Italy, il dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing, is a lifestyle. It is about living on a Mediterranean rhythm and loving the daily luxury in your life. The daily rituals have become a form of art in Italy, from a beautiful pizza margherita, the perfect cappuccino to raspberry icecream, from spending time with family, l’amoreΒ to dressing well. La dolce vita is celebrated in the little streets, boutiques, restaurants and homes of each Italian city. These are beautiful places in Italy to be a little lazy:

πŸ’™ Milano and il lago di Como. Even though Milano is known as a busy city, it is a nice place to visit the beautiful white Duomo, and to shop in the monumental Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, la RinascenteΒ and in Via Montenapoleone. For a day away from busy Milano, you need to go to Como at only half an hour distance. The view over il lago di Como is beautiful and you can go to romantic places across the lake, like Bellagio. IlΒ dolce far niente: you can sit on the rooftop of il Duomo to read a book and enjoy the view, visit Armani CasaΒ for some home inspiration, taste the delicious mozzarella dishes and pizzas at mozzarella bar ObicΓ , and try all the icecream you can find in Como.

πŸ’™ The lovely, little places on the 1920s beach in Viareggio all have nice entrances with wooden names. This is where the local Italian families go for a day on the beach. The place has a sweet scent that comes from the orange and pine trees. Along the seaside you will find the chique boutiques from for exampleΒ Liu Jo, Patrizia Pepe, Intimissimi, andΒ Atos Lombardini.Β In a two hour walk along the sea, you can go to Forte dei Marmi, another lovely coastal town in Lucca, Toscane. il dolce far niente: don’t miss all the boutiques in Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, go to a spa, and try all the icecream at gelateria Grom.

πŸ’™ La bella cittΓ  di moda_ Firenze is a beautiful city and home to many boutiques, musea, and restaurants.Β In Via Roma, Via dei Calzaiuoli, ViaΒ de’ Tornabuoni and Piazza della Repubblica, you will find the boutiques fromΒ Liu Jo,Β Tiffany and co, Luisa via Roma, Patrizia Pepe,Β Fratelli Rosetti, la Rinascente, and you can visit the Gucci museo.Β il dolce far niente: drink a cappuccino or cioccolato at CaffΓ¨ Gilli, visit the Liu jo store, visitΒ il giardino diΒ Boboli, try the mezzelune pasta at Fuori Porta, and pizza a taglio at Pugi.

Daily luxury s/s 2016: off shoulder

An essential daily luxury for the summer is definitely the off shoulder dress or top.

A beautiful blue (Sea), striped (Patrizia Pepe) or cool white off shouder top (Liu Jo, Tibi) in soft cotton on a dark blue denim Liu jo jeans creates a casual-chique outfit Γ  la Olivia Palermo. Lovely lace lingerie in white, blue and soft turquoise by Victoria’s SecretΒ andΒ IntimissimiΒ will look beautiful on bare shoulders. Secondly, a cotton off shoulder dress by Thakoon or ChloΓ© is both beautiful and cool πŸ’™. A soft cotton dress or top with bare shoulders has a beautiful and casual look, as it looks both dressed and a little sexy. You can wear your beautiful heels by Choo or Valentino, and still look casual, or dress it down with espadrilles, sandals or Choo trainers. You can’t miss with this summer essential!

Liu Jo s/s collection 2016

Liu Jo’s spring-summer collection 2016 is beautiful and cool πŸ’™.

The safari chic essentials in white, khaki and beige combine beautifully with the Liu Jo denim collection. For example, the white macramΓ© and cotton shirts with lace on a white, khaki or beige embellished Liu jo jeans or denim skirt is lovely for a khaki spring. Don’t forget to bring your Liu jo backpack in soft beige leather to complete your city safari.

Since 2008, the beautiful Liu Jo jeans have been an essential daily luxury for my summer and winter collection. Liu Jo’s denim collection becomes even more beautiful each year and seems custom made for me due to the small and comfortable fit. The sexy, low waist divine denim jeans with a light shimmer, the lovely white denim skirt and dark blue denim jacket with embellisments; that’s my Liu Jo denim for the spring and summer season.
