When I travel I don’t like to live the place only as a tourist, just following a map, going to museums and seeing only the monuments. I think that the better way to discover a place is just to walk on streets without a specific destination in mind and without any map to follow. It’s the only way to discover and understand
the true spirit of the city, to see the way the locals lives it. During these walks you will discover the true gems, hidden from the eyes of tourists, like this small courtyard.
It was like entering a magical place, the entrance door was all ruined and it seemed that it couldn’t hide behind so beautiful and quite place. The courtyard had everything painted in shades of red / orange with small and damaged steps leading to the apartments and earthen pots with plants everywhere and there were also two cats, one red and one black.
The look consisted of a few pieces recently purchased and other must-haves that you have seen many times in other outfits. The embellished skirt by H&M is amazing, although black and simple cut it caught all eyes thanks to these little sequins flowers. I combined it with mustard-colored jumper and leather jacket from The Kooples, a must for the fall.
Quando viaggio non amo vivere il posto soltanto da turista seguendo una cartina, andando nei musei e vedendo esclusivamente i monumenti. Credo che per scoprire veramente una città bisogna semplicemente passeggiare per le strade senza una meta precisa nella mente e senza un percorso esatto da seguire. Solo così si potrà capire il vero spirito del posto, vedere il modo in cui la vivono gli abitanti. Durante queste passeggiate si scoprono delle vere gemme, nascoste agli occhi dei turisti, come questo piccolo cortile.
Sembrava di entrare in un posto magico, il portone dell’entrata era tutto rovinato e non sembrava proprio che dietro poteva nascondersi un posto così bello e sereno. Il cortiletto era tutto quanto dipinto nelle tonalita del rosso/arancione con piccoli scalini rovinati che portavano agli appartamenti e vasi di coccio con piante sparsi un pò ovunque e c’erano anche due gatti, uno rosso e altro nero.
Il look era composto da alcuni pezzi acquistati recentemente e altri must have che avete visto diverse volte in altri outfits. La gonna decorata di H&M è uno spettacolo, pur essendo nera e dal taglio semplice attira tutti gli sguardi grazie a qui fiorellini di pailettes. L’ho abbinata alla maglia color mostarda e il giubbotto di pelle di The Kooples, un vero must dell’autunno.
