There are times when you're really feeling your outfit and you decide it doesn't matter if the photos you take are blurry or perfect simply because you have to document the fact that you felt great and on point.

Current Favourites & Summer Essentials
Guess who's been buzzing all day because Spain is only three days away?
Still haven't packed, of course, but I've been planning my outfits so I guess that counts?
Even though it's gonna be brief, this little mini holiday is much needed. If I have to be honest, I've had enough of this crappy English weather – and I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the fact I'm from Italy.
I wanted to share a few essentials that I'll be bringing with me to Spain, which also happen to be a few of my current favourites.
These ASOS sandals are my absolute favourite at the moment. I've always been a black sandals kind of girl, but I have to say these ones are so gorgeous I had to get them before they sold out.
Bag is Zara of course and, if you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw it in my latest post. I said it before and I'll say it again, I've never been as obsessed with a bag as I am with this one.
Those amazing sunglasses are Quay Australia and I got the last summer in Topshop. I mean, they just scream me.
Speaking of Topshop, last time I was there my lovely boyfriend got me a silver necklace with his initial written inside the heart – it hasn't left my neck ever since (in case it wasn't obvious!)
And, last but not least, one of my staple essentials for summer is a good book. If there is one thing I can't stand is laying by the sea without something to read. But let's be honest, I'll probably read the one I've got in the photo before I even get on the plane.
Have you got any summer essentials and favourites? Let me know! X
Balmain x H&M
If you happen to be a fashion lover like me, you'll probably know that the new Balmain x H&M collection comes out tomorrow. Tomorrow. How exciting is that?!
I've been lusting over every single piece – I love the colours, the style, the textiles. Let's be honest, what's there not to love? It's Balmain after all!
I wrote a little article about it and I'd love it if you could check it out.
Hope you'll love the collection as much as me and, if you manage to get something, I envy you so so so much (student budget, woo-hoo)!

I have to say March wasn't too cold and that gave me a reason to start wearing my old Converse again and put some bright nail polish on my nails.
I haven't shop as much as usual but I've been loving some old classics such as the Topshop Joni Jeans – that I wear pretty much on a daily basis, and the Topshop MOTO Denim Jacket. Although it's not particularly warm, it's perfect for the weather we've been having in London lately, just enough to keep you nice and cozy.
On the make up front, the newest additions are the Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick and the Benefit Roller Lashes Mascara. Needless to say I love them both so much – otherwise I wouldn't have put them in my March Favourites, duh!
The Maybelline Lipstick lasts on my lips pretty much all day long and I already have most of the colours in the collection. As for the Benefit Roller Lashes I find it absolutely gorgeous on my eyes, my lashes look so long and full, it's just the perfect mascara for me at the moment.
The Brows pencil, Eyeliner and Foundation are old favourites of mine and I don't think I'll try anything new for a long time.
The new clothing items I've purchased this month are both from H&M and they're both stunning. The first one is the polo-neck top and it's, surprise surprise, striped! I wore it on my birthday and loved it so much I've pretty much worn everyday since then – no worries, I washed it first!
And the lace bra is so comfortable you don't even notice you're wearing it. Perfect for those lazy days when I don't feel like wearing a real bra – TMI?! Soz!
I've tried so many candles this month but the one I loved the most is the IKEA one in Vanilla, it just makes me want to eat vanilla ice cream every time I smell it – so so so good!
Last but not least, I couldn't have done a favourites post without mentioning my favourite person – aka Taylor Swift. The Perfume Shop had an offer on her Enchanted Wonderstruck perfume and I've been wearing it every day – so nice and feminine. And, of course, how can we not mention the stunning Vogue Cover she shares with Karlie Kloss on the march issue?! The whole article – and photoshoot!, is lovely and I really enjoyed it.
I really do hope the next Favourites post will include more summery clothes and accessorises – I can't wait for warmer weather.
Have you tried any of those products? What did you think of them?
March Wish List: Birthday Edition
H&M Suede Skirt (£99.99)
Michael Kors Bandeau Sweater (£315)
Zara High Heeled Bootie With Cut Out (£39.99)
Tiffany T Square Ring (£975)
Fendi Mini 3Jours Leather Tote (£1,670)
Since my birthday is next Sunday, I thought I'd do a little March wish list but birthday related. Obviously these are items I'd love to get as presents but that are quite too expensive for me considering my budget. I threw in some cheaper items though that I hope to purchase in the future – such as those gorgeous Zara heels, that superb H&M suede skirt and that beautiful Chanel Lipstick.
Also I think this would be a perfect birthday outfit for a night out, what do you think?
