From facing our closet demons: “I never find what I need” or “I’m late, I’ll just wear sweatpants" to addressing new life phases, new roles and lifestyles, we go from excitement to frustration, limited resources or time, it’s time we start receiving compliments for who we have become

What we wear is our first unspoken language.

With your own personal touches, you will reconcile your feelings with your wardrobe and reconquer the zest to reinvent your outfits according to who you want to be that day. You deserve to wake up charged with that drive to feel empowered and confident and wear what makes you so.

In writing the book,I captured the essence, extracted the ingredients to give everyone the tools toappreciate the sophistication of the simple things, indulge in exquisite food, travel with curiosity, soak-up in culture and knowledge like a lizard under the sun but wear SPF, embrace imperfections, never go out without your fragrance, humor.

Those are on the surface what the Italian way is, or like Sophia Loren put it with wit

Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti.

Italian style is meant to be enjoyed, like one of the incomparable Mediterranean sunsets. 

Be warned, there is no perfection and that’s the best part, it’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Also, the book isn’t a rule guide, it’s just an inspirational attempt at opening perspectives and tweaking old habits that may potentially change your life.
