<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m pretty sure all the bag addict out there spotted this cool little phone case in the hands of the models at Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion week last season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The inspiration is clearly the Petit Malle a bag created in 2014 by Nicolas Ghesquière. The shape is inspired by the maison iconic luxury luggage line, as the name suggests. So it took a minute to realize that the gorgeous pieces the models was holding on the runway weren’t clutches but actually phones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are constantly holding our phones as we do with a clutch so why not turn the phone case into a little work of art. In its 2.0 version it even had hear phones cover, that seems to be gone now . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As expected the price is a little bit off-putting...we're talking about 800-850 euros for the more simple designs but it's LV you know...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's definitely an edgy (not so) little item and I like it for it's uniqueness, do you?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
–</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sono certa che a tutte le fanatiche di borse non sarà sfuggita la deliziosa cover per iPhone che le modelle di Louis Vuitton tenevano in mano durante la sfilata della Fashion Week a Parigi la stagione scorsa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
L’ispirazione è chiaramente la Petit Malle, una clutch creata da Nicolas Ghesquière per il marchio nel 2014. La forma prende spunto dagli iconici bauli da viaggio della maison, come appunto suggerisce il nome. Infatti a primo impatto queste cover sembrano proprio delle borsette e mi ci è voluto un po’ prima di realizzare che quello che le modelle stringevano in mano era un telefono.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Siamo sempre con il cellulare in mano, quindi perché non impreziosirlo con una bellissima cover come questa, che nella sua versione 2.0 aveva addirittura ha un copri cuffie, che pare poi sia stato eliminato nella versione definitiva.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Come previsto il prezzo non è proprio alla portata di tutti, si parla di 800-850 euro per i modelli meno elaborati, ma dopo tutto si tratta di LV...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love taking care of my skin and I love to try new products so my skin care routine tends to change quite often. My latest obsession came from Selvert Thermal the famous<a href="http://www.selvertthermal.com/es/home"> Swiss cosmetic brand</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had the pleasure to try their new Régéneration Absolute Line, formulated with the most advanced technologies. It contains Snail Protein Extract to help repair mature skin or skin damaged by external agents. It acts at cellular level and give skin new elasticity, structure and luminosity. Awesome right?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Creme Regeneratrice it’s very hydrating, perfect to use during the cooler months especially if you have dry skin. If your skin is oily or combination I recommend the gel version instead. Easy to apply, it sinks into the skin very quickly leaving it hydrated and non oily. The snail extract it’s great to soften signs of hyper pigmentation and to achive a more luminous and firm look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Gel eye cream is rich but not heavy, helps to softens fine lines and gently hydrates this very sensitive area of our face. The packaging is very well designed, hygienic and travel friendly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last but not least I tried their Instant firming vials a true must if you want to look extra glamorous for a special event! You can use them as a base for your make-up and the result is truly amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can find these products in selected beauty salons. They are sold individually or as a beautiful gift set!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For more information you can visit Selvert Thermal website or contact them via email: info.selvertitalia@gmail.com.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mi piace prendermi cura della mia pelle e adoro provare nuovi prodotti, quindi tendo a cambiare spesso la mia skin care routine. L’ultima novità arriva da Selvert Thermal, la famosa <a href="http://www.selvertthermal.com/es/home">casa cosmetica svizzera</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ho avuto il piacere di provare per voi alcuni prodotti della nuova linea Régéneration Absolute, formulata con le tecnologie più avanzate, che contiene Estratto Proteico della bava di lumaca. Una linea mirata a riparare la pelli mature o le pelli che sono state danneggiate da fattori esterni, agendo a livello cellulare, donando alla pelle una nuova elasticità, struttura e luminosità. Fantastico no?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
La Crema rigeneratrice è molto idratante, perfetta da usare nei mesi più freddi specialmente se avete la pelle secca, per le pelli grasse consiglio invece la versione in gel. Piacevole da applicare, questa crema si assorbe facilmente lasciando la pelle idrata e non unta. Grazie all’estratto di bava di lumaca, aiuta a schiarire le macchie lasciate dai brufoli e in generale rende l’incarnato più luminoso e compatto.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Il Gel-crema contorno occhi davvero nutriente, non appesantisce e facilita la rigenerazione cellulare, andando ad alleggerire i segni di espressione. La confezione in tubetto è igienica e comoda da trasportare se viaggiate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Per finire ho provato le fiale flash tenseur anti rughe, un vero must per una serata speciale! Si usano come base e creano un effetto lifting istantaneo, dopo qualche minuto è possibile applicare il trucco e il risultato “wow” è assicurato!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Questi prodotti sono venduti nei centri specializzati Selvert, singolarmente o nel bellissimo cofanetto regalo!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It may be the first date or the millionth but it’s always nice to have that special time with your significant other and today I wanted to share with you my three tips to plan the perfect date night!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take your time and plan your outfit. Doesn’t matter if you’re going for a picnic in the park or a super fancy dinner, take all the time you need to make yourself ready. Take a bath and put on a mask (but remember this is not the time to experiment so stick with products you know) and pick the right outfit. Choose clothes that makes you feel good but don’t forget to be yourself! My favorite trick is to add an edgy bag, to the look that makes even the simplest of outfits pop!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make it special. Every date should be unique, pay attention to the details and make every date your own. Choose a meaningful location, for example I love the South of France and if you can’t physically go there you can try to recreate that kind of vibe for a home cooked dinner. Put on some French music, open a bottle of Bordeaux, a cheese platter and you’ll feel like you’re having dinner in Saint Tropez!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Go on a road trip! There’s nothing better than a little get-away. May it be a trip to the beach or a weekend away in Venice, changing your surroundings might add that extra umph to your date! You may plan it or just get in your car and drive wherever the night takes you. If you want to be extra fancy and impress your date you can rent a sporty car for the occasion. Recently I came across turo a website that allows you to <a href="https://turo.com/rentals">rent private cars</a> at a fraction of agency prices. Renting the car directly for its owner allows you to get the car of your dreams in a hassle-free, extremely easy way! You can get it just for one night or if you’re traveling, you can rent the car you need for the duration of your stay!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you liked it and please don’t forget to let me know if you followed some of my tips!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Che sia il primo appuntamento o il milionesimo è sempre piacevole dedicare una serata speciale alla persona a cui siamo legati e oggi voglio condividere con voi i miei tre consigli per organizzare la serata perfetta!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prendetevi il vostro tempo per prepararvi e pianificate il vostro look. Non importa se andate a fare un picnic o una cena elegante, assicuratevi di avere il giusto tempo da dedicare a voi stessi. Fate un bagno, una maschera purificante (ma mi raccomando, questo non è il momento per sperimentare, affidatevi a prodotti che già conoscete) e scegliete con calma il vostro look. Sia che scegliate un mise casual, che un outfit super elegante non dimenticate di restare fedeli a voi stessi e scegliere capi che vi valorizzano e vi facciano sentire a vostro agio. Personalmente mi piace aggiungere un tocco speciale ai miei look, che può essere una borsa colorata o un accessorio particolare.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rendetela speciale. Ogni appuntamento dovrebbe essere unico nel suo genere e penso che sia importante dedicare una certa attenzione ai dettagli. Scegliete un posto che abbia un significato, per esempio io amo il sud della Francia e penso che sarebbe carinissimo ricreare quel genere di atmosfera per una cena a casa. Mettete un po’ di musica francese, stappate un bottiglia di Bordeaux e iniziate servendo un piatto di formaggi francesi. Vi sentirete come a Saint Tropez ed il successo è assicurato!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Partite per un viaggio. Non c’è niente di meglio che una piccola fuga, che sia un fine settimana all’estero o una semplice gita ad un’ora da casa, cambiare aria aggiunge quel non so che di speciale! Potete pianificarla o improvvisare e se volete davvero fare colpo, presentatevi con un auto sportiva. Di recente ho scoperto turo un sito americano che permette di noleggiare auto direttamente dal proprietario, rendendo il processo nettamente più semplice e conveniente che tramite agenzia. In Italia non abbiamo una cosa simile ma al mio prossimo viaggio in America lo proverò sicuramente!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spero che il post vi sia piaciuto e fatemi sapere se avete seguito qualcuno dei mie consigli!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love skin care, probably even more than make-up so I’m always willing to try new products to see what’s good and what’s not. In the past months I added 5 new products to my skin care routine and I decided to share them with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My skin at the moment is not at its best, I have rosacea so it’s really irritated and prone to breakouts so I need to use very gentle products. I was in need of some sort of cleanser and I picked up Pschitt Magique from Garancia a foaming, micropeeling cleanser. It’s very delicate on the skin, smells amazing and it refines your complexion without irritating the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was looking for something to combact acne as well as fine lines and it looks like retion is the way to go! I chose Redermic R from La-Roche Posay and I tried to be consisten and use it every single night (you can apply up to twice a day). After a month I’m starting to see the first results and my skin appears less dull and the fine lines are not as noticeable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you use retionl on your skin you need to protect it from the sun so to get along with my retinol cream I got The Body Shop Skin Defence. It’s a 50+ sunscreen, very light, non sticky and it doesn’t break me out. Since the texture is so light you can apply it under make-up and the sleek packaging is perfect to throw in your purse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Sticking with sunscreen I picked up Hydrabio SPF 30 from Bioderma a moisturizing Spf in spray form moisturizer from. I think it’s a nice alternative to The Body Shop one and the fact that is a spray is definitely more sanitary. The mist is very fine, refreshing and pleasant to apply!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to eye creams there’s always some kind of controvercy, because apparently is quite hard to see a real difference. Well I tried Patyka Radiant eye contour and although is nothing revolutionary, it worked really well for me! It has a light texture, quite liquidy, moisturizing and very easy to blend. Keeps my under-eye area hydrated, de-puffed and soft.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amo i prodotti di skin care ancora più che i trucchi e mi piace provarne di nuovi, per scoprire quali sono i migliori (e i peggiori) sul mercato. Negli ultimi mesi ho cambiato la mia routine, introducendo alcuni nuovi prodotti che ho deciso di condividere con voi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Al momento la mia pelle non è al top della forma, soffro di rosacea che mi causa qualche brufolo e irritazione, quindi sono obbligata ad usare prodotti molto delicati. Partendo dalla pulizia del viso, ho scelto il detergente Pschitt Magique di Garancia. È una schiuma con effetto micropeeling, ma non contiene granuli ed è delicatissima. Ha un profumo delizioso e migliora l’aspetto della pelle senza irritarla.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stavo cercando un prodotto per combattere l’acne e qualcosa per diminuire l’aspetto delle linee d’espressione e pare che il retinolo sia la risposta ad entrambi questi problemi! Ho scelto il Redermic R di La-Roche Posay. Ho cercato di essere costante e applicarlo tutte le sere (si può utilizzare anche mattina e sera). Dopo circa un mese inizio a vedere i primi risultati e devo dire che la mia pelle appare più luminosa e compatta e le linee d’espressione sono meno evidenti.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Se si usano prodotti contenenti retinolo, bisogna applicare una protezione solare. La mia scelta è ricaduta su Skin Defence di The Body Shop. È una protezione 50+ dalla formulazione leggerissima, che non mi ha fatto venire i brufoli, non è appiccicosa ed è perfetta da applicare prima del trucco e la confezione minimal è perfetta da tenere in borsa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Restando in tema di protezioni solari ho provato anche la Hydrabio Spf 30 di Bioderma, una protezione idratante in forma spray. La alterno alla Skin Defence e il suo formato spray rende l’applicazione on the go davvero facile, inoltre il prodotto viene spruzzato in maniera uniforme, con un piacevole effetto rinfrescante!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quando si parla di contorno occhi, le opinioni sono sempre contrastanti ed è difficile stabilire se il prodotto in questione fa davvero la differenza. Io ho provato quello il Radiant eye contour di Patyka e anche se non è niente di rivoluzionario mi sono trovata molto bene. La sua formula leggera è piuttosto liquida e facile da applicate, lascia il contorno occhi idratato, luminoso e riduce il gonfiore.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Could be Florence or its slightly retro vibe but I’m totally smitten with Gucci latest collection. My wish list is filled with their bags, shoes, accessories and I can’t really pick a favourite because I’d love to have one of each.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being a bag addict I’ve had my eyes on the Dionysus for a while. I love its edgy vibe, the thick chain, the embroideries and the bold, metal closure. It comes in lots of different sizes and color combinations so it’s quite difficult to chose. There are loads of other bags in the collection and a few backpacks as well. The Marmont is my favorite, it’s so girly and fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t get me started on the shoes…I’m love with their loafers and those with the heels are insane right?! I wouldn’t mind getting a pair of those or some espadrilles or a pair of embroided sneakers. So chic!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I leave the rest up to you! Do you like this collection as much as I do?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
–</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sarà l’aria di Firenze o forse il gusto vagamente retrò ma sono follemente innamorata dell’ultima collezione di Gucci. La mia wish list ne è praticamente piena: scarpe, borse, accessori e non riesco a scegliere perché vorrei ogni singolo pezzo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Essendo un’appassionata di borse, confesso di aver puntato da un pezzo la Dionysus. Adoro il suo stile moderno, la catena spessa, i ricami, la chiusura importante. Ci sono un sacco di misure e modelli diversi, tutti bellissimi, quindi scegliere è davvero difficile. Ma nella collezione ci sono moltissime altre borse interessanti, per non parlare degli zaini. Quello che preferisco è il Marmont, per un look spensierato e super femminile!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Non parliamo poi delle scarpe! La selezione di mocassini è pazzesca e i miei preferiti al momento, sono quelli effetto foiled, con il mezzo tacco, ma mi accontenterei anche delle espadrillas o delle sneakers ricamate. Sono davvero chic!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Il resto lo lascio al vostro giudizio! Questa collezione piace anche voi?</div>

I always loved The Body Shop, it reminds me of summers in London with my mum browsing through the shelves and smelling every single product in the shop. I was so sad when the store in Florence shut down and even though is not as satisfying now I shop on their website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every season they came up with new fragrances and the one that caught my attention was definitely Piñita Colada…sounds delicious right?! It smells like summer, like a walk on the beach, like a nice cocktail: I’m already addicted! I picked up the body butter and the shower gel both are incredible, to get along with that I also picked up the Wild Argan Oil shower gel, with is one of my favourite scents, perfect for summer and last but not least a sun screen. It’s the Skin Defence multi-protection essence a 50+ sunscreen for your face but unlike many others the formula is very thin, easy to apply and non-sticky. I’m loving it so far. The also included lots of samples that I can’t wait to get in the full size, especially Honeymania Body butter…I’m just saying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me know if you love The Body Shop too and which one is your favourite scent!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adoro i prodotti di The Body Shop, mi ricordano l’estate, Londra, i pomeriggi passati con mia mamma aggirandoci per gli scaffali e annusando ogni singolo prodotto. Mi è dispiaciuto un sacco quando il punto vendita di Firenze ha chiuso quindi adesso, anche se non è la stessa cosa, utilizzo il loro shop online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ogni stagione lanciano qualche nuova linea e quella che mi ha incuriosita di più è decisamente Piñita Colada…promette bene vero? Ha un profumo delizioso, che ricorda l’estate, la spiaggia, un delizioso cocktail: insomma un vero must! Ho preso sia il burro corpo che il bagnoschiuma e sono entrambi favolosi, ho aggiunto poi il bagnoschiuma all’Olio di Argan, una della mie linee preferite di sempre, super idratante e perfetta per l’estate. Per finire ho deciso di prendere una protezione solare per il viso. Si tratta della Skin Defence multi-protection essence ed è uno dei loro nuovi prodotti. Nonostante sia una protezione 50+ la sua texture è leggerissima, facile da applicare e soprattutto non appiccicosa. Mi sta piacendo molto e fino ad ora non mi ha irritato la pelle o fatto venire brufoli. Nella confezione che ho ricevuto c’erano anche un sacco di campioncini e ovviamente sto pianificando nuovi acquisti, come per esempio il burro corso Honeymania se vi capita, provatelo è davvero incredibile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a lovely night out with my Interior designer friend, chatting the night away while sipping a glass (or two) of Bordeaux. The place was recommended by Stig of course<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">:</span> The Vue is a trendy club with one of the most amazing views of Shanghai. Sting told me there was a surprise. Well it was true in fact there’s a big Jacuzzi in the middle of the roof terrace. Only in Shanghai... <br />It was just passed midnight and I didn't feel like going back to the hotel. The night was warm<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span>the Bund was close and I just needed a walk surrounded by the tall dark buildings. <br />It's weird how safe you can feel in a place like this even late at night and it's even weirder how I noticed an envelope on a bench along the way, maybe abandoned, maybe lost or forgotten. I kept walking pretending I didn't see it...then my Louboutin decided they needed to rest for while...them...not me: I’m just pointing that out.<br /><br />So I went back and sit down next to the envelope, with the same attitude you would have sitting on the subway surrounded by strangers, trying not to bother and to keep a distance but secretly trying to catch every movement. Eventually I broke the wait and took the letter in my hands. While I was opening it I felt like I was going to be punished and find some incomprehensible document written in Chinese. But instead…<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dear Love,<br />today there’s a beautiful unusual sun outside lighting up the bright blue sky, that rarely this city get to see. <br />Spring is just round the corner and its bright colors are slowly spreading like a sweet virus along the endless streets of the city. It’s a beautiful day in Shanghai.</span><br />But I feel like dead. In just a few hours I’ll be on that plane that will take me far away, far away from you, for a long time.<br />We already spent so many sleepless night talking, screaming, loving each other, discussing if it was right or wrong to take this<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">job</span></span> in Malaysia. I don’t want to keep <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">t<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">alk</span>ing</span> about this here since the decision has been taken.<br /><br />I had to take it. I couldn’t say no, not now, after all the sacrifices I made. It would have been a wonderful news, if only…if only…I haven’t met you, who changed my bitterness first into trust then into love. You changed everything.<br /><br />This sun should give me energy, It should make me the happiest person on hearth. So why? Why my sky isn’t blue? Why am I crying and not with joy? If only could you came with me…I know…I know…you can’t, not like this, not now. I don’t even know how long I’ll be gone. I feel like my life doesn’t belong to me anymore.<br /><br />I’m scared my Love. I’m scared time and distance will make us part and one day when we’ll meet again we won’t recognize each other. We will part ways.<br /><br />Promise me we won’t let <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">that</span> happen.<br /><br />You asked me to wake you up to take me to Pudong but you were so beautiful, sleeping so peacefully that I couldn’t.<br />I was a coward: I was afraid I couldn’t leave.<br /><br />Sleep my<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">L</span>ove</span>. We had the most beautiful, endless days. Now we have some really hard ones to face. But no regrets, no recriminations: we can still have a bright future. Together. We won’t let people tell us that life isn’t beautiful. We know is not that way because we, together are proof it is.<br /><br />Don’t stop dreaming Love.</i></span></span></div>

It was late night. I’ll never meet those lovers but after reading their story I really hope they’ll meet again and recognize each other…</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Avevo passato una piacevole serata di chiacchiere con un amico Interior designer sorseggiando un bicchiere (o forse due?) di ottimo Bordeaux. Il posto me lo aveva consigliato Stig, ovviamente: The Vue, un locale molto di tendenza sopra un grattacelo sul Bund, dalla cui terrazza puoi godere di una delle più belle vedute di tutta Shanghai. Stig mi aveva detto che al centro della terrazza avrei trovato una sorpresa. Era vero: al centro c’era un’enorme Jacuzzi circolare a disposizione degli ospiti. Succede solo a Shanghai. Era da poco passata la mezzanotte e non avevo voglia di prendere un taxi per tornare in albergo. La serata era piacevole e il Bund vicino, due passi all’ombra dei grattaceli spenti era proprio quello di cui avevo bisogno. È strano come sia possibile non sentirsi in pericolo in una così grande città la notte, è uno dei misteri dell’atmosfera di Shanghai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">È ancora più strano come e perché abbia notato sopra una delle panchine in pietra del lungo fiume una busta, forse abbandonata, forse persa o dimenticata. Qualche passo avanti cercando di non pensarci…e poi…improvvisamente mi sono resa conto che le mie Louboutin avevano bisogno di riposo…loro, non i miei piedi: sia ben chiaro.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sono dunque tornata sui miei passi, mettendomi seduta accanto alla busta, con lo stesso contegno con cui in metro di sta seduti tra sconosciuti cercando di non dare fastidio e di mantenere per quanto possibile le distanze, ma lanciando di tanto in tanto qualche occhiata indagatrice con la coda dell’occhio. Alla fine ho rotto l’imbarazzo e l’ho presa in mano. Mentre l’aprivo mi dicevo che la mia curiosità sarebbe stata punita con un documento indecifrabile in mandarino. E invece…</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Travelling is one of my favorite things to do and even though I'm
not too fond of packing I like to do it with style. This season the
major Maisons came out with some really cool travel collections that
I'm dying to add to my stash. Chanel have a whole travel-inspired new
collection with gorgeous canvas pieces which may not be the most
practical but are definitely chic. If you want something more
durable, they have a few leather pieces as well and don't forget to
check their bijoux, they're the cutest! Louis Vuitton added a new
jungle print to a few of their iconic travel pieces and I really love
the pink and red combo which adds a little something to these
timeless gems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Living in Florence I had to include Gucci and their new floral
print on canvas, which is gorgeous. There many different prints and
combination all unique, vaguely retro-inspired but with and edgy
twist! I can't wait to leave for my next destination and with all
these beautiful pieces I'll have a hard time picking my travel
companion! Which style is your favorite?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Viaggiare è una delle cose che amo di più ma vi confesso che
fare la valigia è sempre una tragedia per me, nonostante questo però
mi piace farla con stile. Questa stagione, alcune delle più
importanti Maison nel campo della moda hanno creato collezioni di
articoli da viaggio davvero bellissime e che non disdegnerei di
possedere. Chanel ha scelto come ispirazione proprio il tema del
viaggio e ha creato una serie di pezzi in tela davvero stupendi.
Riconosco che la scelta di questo materiale non è la più pratica,
ma se volete qualcosa di più duraturo ci sono diversi articoli in
pelle. Non dimenticate di dare un'occhiata alla bigiotteria, la
collezione di spille in particolare è deliziosa!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Louis Vuitton per la stagione, ha aggiunta una stampa Jungle ad
alcuni dei suoi pezzi iconici da viaggio. Mi piace la scelta del rosa
e rosso, che aggiunge quel qualcosa in più a dei pezzi davvero
intramontabili.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Vivendo a Firenze non potevo non includere Gucci e la loro
collezione a stampa floreale su tela: bellissima. Ci sono moltissime
combinazioni diverse, seppur tutte originali e il classico gusto
vagamente retrò si mischia ad un tocco più moderno e irriverente!
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Non vedo l'ora di partire per il prossimo viaggio, anche se con
tutta questa scelta darà difficile selezionare il bagaglio da
portare con me! Voi quale stile preferite?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every year it's the same story as we approach the warmer months we feel the urge to get in better shape. We go to the gym, even start a diet and we try to find a great cream to makes things easier (and faster). I'm always interested in trying new products because I think that the right ones really makes the difference in the appearance of our skin so I was very excited when I was contacted by Selvert Thermal to lear about Corporelle. It’s their newest line of body products and it’s targeted to improve the appearance of certain areas of our bodies. Its advanced and effective formulation contains thermal water with silicates, trace elements and bio saccharides.<br />The line is clinically tested and suitable for very sensitive skins. It is, as they say, “tailor made” to adapt to each customer’s need and offers a range of products that you can combine to fight directly the problem the concerns you the most. The products are aimed to fight aging, improve the skin elasticity and flexibility while prevent dehydration.<br />They are sold as a dual pack: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />- Pack Slimming: Renovating Exfoliating Serum + Anti-Cellulite cream. <br />- Pack Push-up<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">: </span>Renovating Exfoliating Serum + Firming Push-Up cream<br /><br />First of all let’s talk about the packaging! I love it! It’s practical yet very chic…plus it’s pink.<br />I got the chance to try the Push-up pack and I was particularly intrigued by the Serum. In fact this is not just a serum, it’s an exfoliant as well and combines these two elements in one tube which is brilliant!<br />You’re supposed apply it twice a week on clean, dry skin and massage until it has completely absorbed. Do not rinse and follow up with the second step. For me it was the Firming Push-up cream that I applied on my trouble areas two times a day with circular motions until it completely absorbed.<br /><br />Both the products have a nice, clean, luxurious scent, that is not overpowering and a light, fast-absorbing texture that makes application really easy. After the application your skin feel smoother and instantly appears more compact. I’ve been trying these products for about two weeks and I can see my body is definitely firmer and more toned which is amazing! Of course you should follow up with some sport a balanced diet. Selvert Thermal is definitely a brand I trust and they created another great line to make us look better and feel better instantly!<br /><br />You can use these products at home but they also introduced four new in-Salon treatments. Selvert Thermal qualified experts will guide you to design your tailor made treatment, adapting it to your individual needs, combining the different masks and products designed to reduce, drain, tone, regenerate and get rid of stretch marks.<br /><br />I recommend you to visit your local Salon and get your hands on these products asap!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">È sempre la stessa storia, ogni anno con l’avvicinarsi dell’estate sentiamo il bisogno di migliorare la nostra forma. Andiamo in palestra, ci mettiamo perfino a dieta e soprattutto cerchiamo quel predotto miracoloso che possa aiutarci a sveltire il processo. Come sapete mi piace sempre provare nuovi prodotti, quindi sono stata entusiasta quando la Servet Thermal mi ha contattata per parlarmi della loro nuova linea di prodotti per il corpo. Si chiama Corporelle ed è una linea di prodotti mirata a migliorare gli inestetisimi che colpiscono alcune zone del nostro corpo, attraverso una serie di trattamenti e prodotti “tailor made” per soddisfare le necessità di omniuma di noi.<br />Sono prodotti dalla formulazione avanzata ed efficace, che contengono una base di acqua termale con silicati concentrati, oligoelementi e bioscaccaridi.<br />La linea è clinicamente testata ed è adatta anche alle pelli più sensibili e i prodotti promettono di combattere i segni dell’invecchiamento cutaneo, migliorare la flessibilità e l’elasticità della pelle, combattendo la disidratazione e migliorandone l’aspetto.<br /><br />Hanno pensato ad una linea di trattamenti professionali da fare in Salone e ad una linea per l’autocura domiciliare che vengono venduti in un dual-pack:<br />- Pack Slimming<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">: </span>Renovating Exfoliating Serum + Anti-Cellulite cream. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Pack Push-up<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">: </span>Renovating Exfoliating Serum + Firming Push-Up cream<br /><br />Per prima cosa parliamo della confezione! La adoro! È pratica e chic allo stesso tempo…in più è rosa, devo veramente aggiungere altro? Ho avuto la possibilità di provare il Push-up pack e la cosa che mi ha incuriosita di più e senz’altro il siero. Infatti non si tratta di un semplice siero ma <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">accomp<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">agna alla funzione idratante <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">delle<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></span></span>proprietà esfolianti, combinando insieme la funzione di questi due elementi, semplicemente geniale! Va applicato due volte a settimana, sulla pelle asciutta e pulita, massaggiando fino al completo assorbimento. Non si sciacqua e si procede con il secondo step, che nel mio caso è la crema Push-up, da applicare due volte al giorno, mattina e sera, sulle zone da trattare, con movimenti circolari verso l’alto.<br /><br />Entrambi i prodotti hanno una profumazione molto gradevole, pulita e raffinata che non è <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">per niente invasi<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">va</span></span>. La consistenza è leggera e il prodotto si assorbe facilmente, rendendo l’applicazione piacevole e veloce. La pelle è subito più liscia al tatto e appare visibilmente più compatta. Sto utilizzando questi prodotti da circa due settimane e sono molto soddisfatta dei risultati, vedo la mia pelle più tonica e rassodata. Ovviamente a questo va aggiunto un po’ di esercizio fisico e una dieta equilibrata.<br />Selvert è un marchio di cui mi fido<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span>che crea sempre nuovi favolosi prodotti per farci apparire e soprattutto farci sentire istantaneamente più belle!<br /><br />Come vi dicevo potete usare questo prodotti a casa o recarvi nel vostro salone di fiducia per provare i loro nuovi 4 trattamenti che si accompragnano a<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ll<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a linea Corporelle</span></span>.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- The secret <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to the </span>perfect orzo is patience and temperature. Take a large cup, fill it with water and put it in the microwave for at least 4 minutes. When you take it out, the water should be boiling hot. Meanwhile take another cup, I recommend <a href="https://www.pantone.com/pantone-universe">Pantone</a> 186, my favorite kind of red, add two or three generous teaspoons of orzo, the organic kind, a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of cocoa powder. Pour the water slowly in the cup and stir frantically until it's all blended. If you've done a good job you'll see a nice foam on top. If you have a sore throat just add a drop of grappa or any hard liquor you can find in the mini bar.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- I don't get why you're talking about patience. It takes less than 5 minutes to make.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 5 minutes to make, 20 to drink, unless you want to burn your mouth. Oh and there's one last ingredient: a nice chat in good company of your choice. There! Enjoy. A couple of butter cookies would be ideal but unfortunately I couldn't find any here in the hotel.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sounds like a regular conversation with a friend. One of those nice chats you would have in your pajama watching Breakfast at Tiffany's for the millionth time, with your favorite Pantone mug in you hand.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But it's not.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's 5 a.m. almost dawn. In a little while the first sun lights will make their way through the thick, eternal fog, lighting up the buildings on the Hong Kong coast. We just got back to the hotel after partying like crazy a<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">t</span> Dragon-i one of the most popular clubs in town.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's typical for Stig on a business trip. When he's home you can find him sleeping on the sofa at 10.30 p.m.. He says his critical hour is in between 10 p.m and 11.30 p.m.<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> but</span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">t</span>his just happens on a national level. In fact when he crosses the ocean it's a whole new story: he never sleeps, he forget to eat and he (almost) lost that typical sadness in his eyes.<br />Anyhow no matter what, after a concert he has to have his hot orzo cup.<br />Even in Hong Kong where is crazy hot and humid. Very humid. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Freaking</span> humid. And hot.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We said goodbye with the promise to meet in Italy in front of the Music Academy where he rehearse every Thursday night, in that ni<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ce </span>place when they make tapas and sangria, to talk about Shanghai and what this trip lefts us. We had to change plans.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But let's take a step back to when I went to get my Chinese Visa for the trip and they sent me back because there was some kind of stupid paper (no one ever told me about) missing. Of course when Stig went to get his, without the stupid paper of course, the appointee, out of the blue, started singing “Recondita armonia” from Puccini's “Tosca”. At that point Stig offered to join in for a duet, telling the lady he's an opera singer. Of course she loved Opera, she grew up in Shanghai and she worked for the major Opera houses all over China. I'm sure by this point you all have figured out that Stig came out of there not only with his Visa but with a long list of contacts of directors of the main theaters in Shanghai, Bejing, Hong Kong and of course I hated him for that. This kind of things just happens to Stig.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So he and his partner were at Pudong airport , handing their luggage in when he got a call. There was a non-scheduled concert in honor of Bernstein and the tenor who was supposed to sing Maria from West Side Story was out of voice. When sending out his presentation email Stig attached the demo of two songs and one of them was Maria. Destiny does exists.<br />I was just getting out of a club in the French Concession when he phoned me:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Houston we have a problem. Hong Kong. Tomorrow. Concert. Panic. Business partner gone. Hotel is on the theatre. Flight is not. In 6 hours.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Six hours later I was on the flight. This time it was my turn to “be Stig”. I always dreamed about visiting Hong Kong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- You're performance was great and given the circumstances it went smooth.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Yes I'm quite pleased. I studied this piece last summer and then I have to leave it behind to prepare for Boheme, which I'll be performing in three days as soon as I land in Italy. Even though it has an uneven rhythm, what's difficult about Maria in not just the technique but the interpretation. The character finds love, true love, real love and nothing looks the same anymore: names, colors, sounds...Maria...Maria...Maria... Say it loud and there's music playing, Say it soft and it's almost like praying… Isn't the love we lost with innocence the one we all would like to find? It was the love I thought...I thought...<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- ...You thought?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Never mind. Do you like my orzo?<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Better drop it. I can see that sad look back in his green eyes.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Do you think the director liked you?<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- I hope so, they told me there are some auditions in August in Singapore for a new production...since I'll be there...who knows...<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- It's good news.<br /><br />- Anyways let’s talk about something serious did you know that our hotel is next to a very exclusive place?<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Really?<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Wyndham Street…down this way there's<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> a</span> <a href="http://www.bothos.com/">Bothos</a> store. I<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">s</span> where I fell in love with <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">th<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eir amazing backpacks</span></span>. I almost got one on my way to Shanghai.<br /><br />- Yes and I remember you didn't get it because...the Bonastre backpack you saw in Luisa Via Roma made your heart pound...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Definitely. Too bad the price almost made it stop...but you know the price for those kind of things...I really like Bothos backpacks though, they're so edgy, soft leather, nice fabrics and <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the on<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">es</span></span> I <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">fancy</span> are always sold out online...you can only try <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to find them in</span> store and there's only one store in<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the whole wi<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">de world</span></span>...and it's down this <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">street</span>... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Would he be able to<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span>resist the temptation? The store was opening at 10.30 a.m and it was just 5.30...<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was a beautiful dawn<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and</span> the golden rays of the pale sun were reflecting on the windows of HSBC. In this little oriental corner, so chaotic yet so exciting, you can walk down the <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">street</span> so early in the morning feeling like you're in the busiest street of London.<br />But this is another story so...till next time.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Il segreto per fare un ottimo orzo sta nella pazienza e nella temperatura. Prendi una tazza</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> molto grande, la riempi d’acqua e la infili nel microonde, per almeno 4 minuti. Quando la </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">tiri fuori devi vederla bollire ben bene. Nel frattempo hai preso un’altra tazza, io consiglio </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">una <a href="http://store.pantone.com/it/it/">Pantone</a> 186, il mio punto di rosso preferito, in cui hai messo due o tre abbondanti </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">cucchiaini di orzo, quello biologico, un cucchiaino grondante di miele e un pizzico di cacao </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">amaro in polvere. Alla fine ci versi l’acqua, lentamente, mentre freneticamente mescoli. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Capirai di avere fatto un buon orzo vedendo la cremina marrone che si forma in cima. Sei </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">hai un p<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">o'</span> di mal di gola aggiungi un goccio di grappa o altro super alcolico a piacere che trovi nel </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">frigo bar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Perché dici che uno degli ingredienti è la pazienza? Ci vorranno al massimo 5 minuti per </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">prepararlo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 5 minuti per prepararlo, 20 per berlo, a meno che tu non voglia ustionarti. E poi manca </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ancora l’ultimo ingrediente: due buone e rilassate chiacchiere in compagnia, a piacere. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ecco a te: buona degustazione. Un paio di biscottini al burro sarebbero la morte sua, ma, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">purtroppo, non sono riuscito a trovarli qua in albergo.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sarebbe un dialogo normale tra amici. Sarebbe una di quelle chiacchiere rilassate da fare in pigiama</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. Sarebbe una serata da passare a vedere Colazione da Tiffany per la milionesima volta con la tazza </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pantone in mano. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sarebbe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ma sono le 5, è quasi l’alba. E tra poco i primi raggi di sole tenteranno di farsi strada nella fitta e </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">perenne nebbia, illuminando i grattaceli sulla costa di Hong Kong. Siamo appena rientrati in hotel dopo avere </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">festeggiato al Dragon-i, uno dei locali più frequentati della zona. È una tipica scena da Stig in </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">trasferta. Quando è a casa in Italia puoi essere pressoché certa di trovarlo che dorme sul divano </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">del suo studio già alle 22.30. Lui sostiene <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">che il suo </span>orario critico è tra le le 22.<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">00</span> e le 23.30. Ma è una </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">regola che vale solo nei confini nazionali. Quando attraversa l’Oceano non dorme, dimentica di </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">magiare, perde quella venatura amara tipica del suo sguardo. Ma non rinuncia all’orzo bollente </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">dopo un concerto. Anche qui ad Hong Kong, dove è dannatamente caldo e umido. Molto umido. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fottutamente umido. E caldo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ci eravamo lasciati con la promessa di rivederci in Italia per andare in un carinissimo locale dove </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">fanno tapas e sangria, proprio davanti alla Scuola di Musica dove prova il giovedì sera, per </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">raccontarci quello che Shanghai ci aveva lasciato addosso. Abbiamo anticipato.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Un passo indietro: quando sono andata io al Consolato cinese per richiedere il Visa per la China </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">sono stata rispedita a casa perché mancava una fotocopia, di cui nessuno mi aveva parlato. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Quando è andato lui, senza fotocopia, è capitato che la responsabile dei V<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">isa</span>, nel momento in cui </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">se lo è trovato di fronte, senza ragione, abbia cominciato a canticchiare “Recondita armonia” da </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Tosca” di Puccini. Al che, candidamente, il sorpreso Stig si è offerto di fare un duetto, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">dichiarandosi cantante lirico. Non sto a dirvi che la Sig.ra è una melomane. Non sto a dirvi che il </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">buon Stig è venuto via dal Consolato con il Visa, e già per questo l’ho odiato, e con le mail dei </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">direttori artistici dei teatri di Shanghai, Pechino, Hong Kong. La Sig.ra è cresciuta in Cina. La Sig.ra </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ha lavorato per i teatri d’Opera. Succede solo a Stig. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Proprio mentre lui e socio erano alla consegna bagagli per prendere il volo di ritorno a Pudong, gli </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">arriva la chiamata. C’è un concerto di gala fuori cartellone, in omaggio a Bernstein, e il tenore che </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">avrebbe dovuto cantare Maria da West Side Story è senza voce. Stig aveva inviato in allegato alle </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">mail di presentazione due brani, di cui uno era Maria. Il destino esiste. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ero appena uscita da un locale nella French Concession quando mi ha chiamato:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Houston abbiamo un problema. Hong Kong. Domani. Concerto. Panico. Socio partito. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Albergo pagato dal teatro. Volo a carico. Tra 6 ore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sei ore dopo ero anche io su quel volo. Questa volta ho fatto io la Stig. Ho sempre sognato di </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">visitare Hong Kong. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Hai fatto un’ottima performance, considerando le circostanze è andata decisamente bene. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Sì, sono abbastanza soddisfatto. Il brano l’ho studiato la scorsa estate, giusto </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">per ampliare il mio repertorio, per poi accantonarlo perché fra tre giorni ho Boheme, appena atterrato in </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Italia. La difficoltà maggiore di Maria non è tanto tecnica, che comunque c’è, specie nel </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ritmo tutt’altro che lineare, ma piuttosto interpretativa. Il personaggio incontra l’amore, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">l’Amore grande, vero, puro. E niente è più uguale a prima, tutto cambia: i nomi, i colori, i </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">suoni…Maria…Maria…Maria… Say it loud and there's music playing, Say it soft and it's </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">almost like praying…Non è forse l’amore perduto con l’innocenza e che tutti </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">affannosamente e senza più sperarci vorremmo incontrare? E’ l’amore che </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">credevo…credevo…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- …Credevi?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Niente. Ti piace l’orzo?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Meglio non insistere. Quella venatura amara è tornata <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">nei suoi occhi verdi</span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Al direttore sei piaciuto? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Spero di sì, mi hanno detto che ci sono delle audizioni ad Agosto a Singapore per una </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">nuova produzione…chissà…visto che sarò lì…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Questa è una bella notizia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Ma parliamo di cose serie: sai dove si trova questo albergo?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Non ne ho idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Wyndham Street…a 300 metri da qua c’è il negozio di <a href="http://www.bothos.com/">Bothos</a>, dove mi sono innamorato di </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">quegli zaini fantastici che stavo per prendere all’andata…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Sì, e mi ricordo che non lo hai fatto perchè...</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">perchè lo zaino nero a sacca di Bonastre che hai visto da Luisa Via Roma ti ha fatto </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">innamorare. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Sì, peccato per il prezzo, molto meno amorevole...Anche se si sa che l’esclusività si </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">paga...Però anche questi sono molto particolari, pelle e tessuto, e on line quelli che </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">piacciono a me sono esauriti...li trovi solo se restano in negozio, e qui c'è l’unico store </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">esistente al mondo. A trecento metri da qui...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Avrà saputo resistere alla tentazione? Il negozio apriva alle 10.30 ed erano solo le 5.30...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Era un’alba bellissima, che rifletteva i raggi dorati di un pallido sole sulle vetrate dell’HSBC </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">building. In quest’angolo d’oriente, così caotico, così stimolante, puoi passeggiare nel primo </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">mattino per i marciapiedi sopraelevati, avendo l’impressione di trovarti a Londra nell’ora di </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">punta.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ma questa è un’altra storia. Alla prossima avventura...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When it comes to skin care, face masks are definitely one of my favourite items and I really enjoy trying and d<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">i</span>scovering new ones! So today I want to share with you a selection of some I tried quite recently and some old favourites of mine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/glamglow">GlamGlow</a> Super-mud clearing treatment: This is definitely a staple in my stash. It's a mud mask that has a gritty texture but it's not too harsh on the skin. It's great to unclog pores and clear your skin without stripping it. If I feel like my skin is irritated I just use it on certain areas (like nose, chin and forehead).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/caudalie">Caudalie</a> Purifying mask: I think I'm on my thir<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">d</span> tube and this mask is a must in my skin care routine. It's extremely gentle and clears the skin without irritating it or stripping it. You can use it twice a week and you can really see a difference and it's great to calm irritated, spotty skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/">La Roche-Posay</a> Hydraphase Intense mask: This is great if your skin need that extra bit of moisture. It's clear, very hydrating and portable so it's amazing to use on long flights or when you're traveling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/boscia">Boscia</a> Luminizing black mask: I pick this up when I was in Shanghai and I'll be sad when it's gone. It's a thick, black, peel-off mask. Great to minim<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">i</span>ze pores, remove impurities and make your skin more radiant. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.sephora.com/peter-thomas-roth">Peter Thomas Roth</a> mini masks<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">: </span>This mini set of three masks is great to test the brand out and my favourite is definitely the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. It smells great and has a grainy texture that is not too harsh on the skin but it cleanse and brightens it. The </span>Cucumber Gel Mask is perfect for the warmer months, it's refreshing and de-puffing while the Rose Stem Cell mask has a nice jelly texture and hydrates, firm and plump the skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Talking about sheet masks my favourites are the ones from <a href="http://whenmask.com/">When</a>. They have a almost gel-like feel and they really are a quick fix after a night out or a long flight. Next time I get the chance I'll be sure to stock up on them. Next I have <a href="http://www.innisfreeworld.com/product/productList.do?catCd01=UA&catCd02=UAEE&catCd03=UAEEBB">Innisfree</a> masks, for the price they're very nice but in store they don't have any other writing than Korean on the packaging so it's quite hard to figure out what you're getting so I recommend you to look them up online. The ones I got are Hyaluronic acid one and clarif<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">y</span>ng one both really nice. Even though I don't have the packaging left to show you (but you can see it <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/04/shanghai-where-to-shop-mini-shopping.html">here</a>) I tr<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">i</span>ed the Rice mask from Tony Moly. I love the brand and this mask is supposed to brightens and tightens your skin and it did a really nice job on mine, plus is very gentle which is always a bonus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There you have my round up on masks guys! I hope you liked it and let me know your favourite so I can try them out!!</span><br />

La mia preferita è senza dubbio la </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. Ha un profumo buonissimo e una consistenza granulosa che rimuove le impurità, senza essere aggressiva e rendendo la pelle radiosa. La </span>Cucumber Gel Mask è perfetta da usare quando fa caldo, proprio per la sua formula in gel, sgonfia e rinfresca il viso.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ma parliamo d<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">elle maschere in tessuto, di gran moda al momento, le mie preferite sono decisamente quelle di </span><a href="http://whenmask.com/">When</a>.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
We’re not going to get away with this Stig. They're going to kill
us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Chill. I know what I’m doing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
I might be wrong but I feel like this time you took it a little too
far.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stig
is not answering, maybe he hasn't even heard me. It’s too
concentrated trying to understand what’s going on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We
are in a small space, looks like a boiler room, barely illuminated by
an old, dusty, yellow light dangling from the ceiling. We hear a
knock from behind the walls. The two Chinese guys in front of us nod
to each other and one of them bend to open a small wooden cabinet
door. I see an arm coming out, handing out a black bag to one of the
guys. The smell of mould is so strong I can feel it in my nose and
I’m shivering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
That’s our stuff. Said Stig.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I
feel a knot in my throat. What a stupid way to die, in a boiler room
in the middle of Shanghai. I think it’s unfair. It’s all Stig’s
fault. Just a few hours before I was in taxi, dying …of laughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just
outside the Mint (<a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/04/blue-moon.html">remember</a>?) in the middle of the street we met this
lady, around 45, talking nonsense in a language which was a mix of
English and German. She couldn’t remember where her hotel was and
she was trying to find someone to share a cab with because she didn’t
have enough money. Stig and his partner, as the true gentlemen they
are, kindly offered to bring her back safe and sound. In the taxi she
told us her name was Anna and let me tell you that was a pretty long
ride, since the drunk lady was undecided between three different
hotels. She was a hostess for KLM, she was on a three days break in
between flights. She spoke a little bit of Italian and she loved
Celentano. Yep, a German hostess in Shanghai started singing out loud
Prisencolinensinainciusol like a real fan girl. At the fourth time
the Chinese taxi driver joined us singing the choirs: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g6YxkSqL20">PARARA’!PAPARAPA PA RA PAPA’</a>! Singing Celentano out loud in a taxi…only
in Shanghai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We
left Anna, fresh like a rose drown in Gin, in front of the building
she believed was her hotel. Hopefully. But before getting off she
just threw herself at Stig, caught unprepared for once, squishing him
against the taxi window. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Beautiful baby green eyes, if you give me your business card I’ll
call you tomorrow and I’ll introduce you to my colleagues. They are
younger than me…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We
saw her crawl out of the taxi and disappear in the hall. To this day
Stig never said if he ended up meeting those KLM hostesses but
judging from his witty look I bet he definitely did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After
a few hours, early afternoon, we went to one the famous Shanghai fake
markets. I can’t really stand knock offs but Stig kept saying a
place like that was a must see and it would be fun to browse the best
place in town where you can learn everything about negotiation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once
we got in I was astonished: it wasn't a shop, it was more like a
mall…a fake mall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
ground floor is all about travel cases, every size and color mainly
Samsonite, MCM and Rimowa, some of them are so well made you really
need to look close up to spot the difference with the real deal. On
the second floor there's clothing: Belstaff, Polo, Diesel,
Chanel…every popular </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">brand
you can immagine, on display on lousy mannequins and sold at insanely
cheap prices…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But
the good stuff is on the third floor: glasses, sunglasses and watches
all fake of course.. You can get a designer frame with prescription
lenses for something like 40 euros. In less then an hour your glasses
are ready and you can leave the market with you fab pair of (fake)
Tom Fords. Some stalls are cheaper then others but the quality drops
dangerously.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here
and there you can spot paper notices stuck on the wall, advising you
that is strictly forbidden to buy fake merchandise sold inside of the
market…if they say so…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I
found Stig checking some watches at the “Original Pagnerai”
stall. The smug vendor tries to close the deal offering a very good
price. Stig stays calm and told the man the quality is not the best
and when copying they should at least try to get the name of the
brand right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We’re
about to leave when the man tell Stig to follow him to show him some
more watches. “Great quality” he assures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oh
damn curiosity…Stig cannot resist. We follow the chinese guy down a
hallway and get to the lift. Inside we found another guy, I assume
he's the partner of he first one. He unlocks the access to the 5th
floor and press the button. The more we go up the more I get nervous.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When
we get off the lift I found myself in a very different place: lots of
hallways and closed doors. No stalls, no windows, no vendors, no
nothing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We
follow them and I can hear the echo of our steps down the hallway. We
stop in front of one of the doors. They open it and we enter what
looks like a boiler room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No
sounds, no one around and I’m not sure if it’s a good or a bad
thing. At this point I’m pretty sure we’re going to get robbed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">...So
we’re back to the hand holding the black bag, very Addams family
style. One of the men opens it: Rolex, Panerai, Tag, Piguet and they
all look pretty good quality…in the darkness of the room. Stig
starts an intense negotiation for one of the Rolex.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Stig you don’t even wear watches…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
I know but at this point I need to negotiate for a while. It would be
disrespectful to leave straight away. Given our position I wouldn’t
mess with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Great! Now I’m definitely feeling better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stig
say he found the watch he likes. Price 3.500,00 RMB that quickly
drops to 1.100,00. He doesn’t want the steel wristband but the one
in crocodile. The guy said it can be done but he needs to get it
somewhere. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He
tell us to come back in an hour go to Chen glass shop and ask for
Yong Lu. He wants some money in advance but Stig is firm: cash on the
barrel. Deal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When
we finally get out of the building in the blinding light of the day,
once again I ask myself if it was just a dream. At this point it’s
a given for me in this city.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
You didn’t buy anything in the end. I’m impressed!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
To be honest I came here for the fun of the negotiation, to see how
farI can get. I didn’t really need anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
I don’t think there’s another place like this in the whole, wide
world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Well actually there is! I heard there’s a nice market in Singapore.
The first time I went there I didn’t have time but I’m going back
there next august and for a longer period of time so…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
You and your partner never stop uh?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
We like it this way and there’s this restaurant in Kallang Road
next to our hotel where they do the best Chili Crab in town, it was
there that I fell in love with…but I’ll tell you about this
another time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, enough for today. I’m pretty happy I made it out of the Fake
Market alive…this time.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stig
non risponde, forse non mi ha neppure sentito. È troppo preso a
cercare di comprendere </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">cosa
stia accadendo di preciso.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Siamo
nella penombra di un piccolo stanzino, forse il locale caldaia,
appena illuminato dalla luce giallastra di una vecchia e flebile
lampadina che penzola polverosa dal soffitto. Da dietro una delle
pareti sentiamo bussare . I due cinesi davanti a noi si danno un
cenno di assenso con lo sguardo, poi uno di loro si china in basso e
apre con una chiave uno sportellino di legno. Da questo spunta un
braccio che porge un sacco nero al suo interlocutore. L’odore di
muffa mi è entrato sotto i vestiti e aumenta i brividi lungo il
corpo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Ecco la roba – mi fa Stig.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mi
sento un enorme groppo in gola. Penso che sarà una morte stupida, la
mia, in un locale caldaia in un palazzo nel cuore di Shangai. Penso
che sia una cosa profondamente ingiusta. Ed è tutta colpa di Stig. E
penso che qualche ora fa ero su un taxi a morire sì, ma dal ridere. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Usciti
dal Mint (<a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/04/blue-moon.html">ricordate</a>?) avevamo incontrato in mezzo alla strada una
Sig.ra sui 45 che farneticava, un po' in inglese <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">e</span> un po' in
tedesco, di non ricordare dove fosse il suo albergo e cercava
qualcuno con cui dividere il taxi perché aveva finito i soldi. Stig
e socio, ultimi baluardi della cavalleria in terra orientale, si
erano fatti carico di riportarla sana e salva all'hotel. Durante il
tragitto, non breve visto che l’ubriacona era indecisa tra tre
diversi nomi d’albergo, venne fuori che Anna, questo il suo nome,
era una hostess di KLM ed era in pausa per 3 giorni tra un volo e
l'altro. Parlava anche un po' di italiano e adorava Celetano. Sì, la
hostess tedesca in trasferta a Shangai si era messa a cantare
Prisencolinensinainciusol come solo una fan della prima ora sa fare.
Pure il taxista cinese alla quarta volta che cantava lo stesso pezzo
si era messo a fare i cori assieme a noi: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g6YxkSqL20">PARARA’! PAPARAPA PA RAPAPA’</a>! Un taxi nella notte di Shangai che urla al cielo un pezzo di
Celentano…può succedere solo a Shangai. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Abbandonammo
Anna, fresca come una rosa annegata nel gin, davanti a quello che
aveva riconosciuto come il suo albergo. Probabilmente. Prima di
scendere dal taxi si avventò su Stig, con lei sul sedile posteriore,
e lui, una volta tanto preso alla sprovvista, sgranò gli occhi
mentre lei col suo peso lo schiacciava al </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">La
vedemmo rotolare dal taxi con classe ed eleganza e sparire dentro la
hall. Ancora oggi Stig ha la bocca cucita sulla questione e non ha
mai confermato o negato se l’appuntamento domenicale con le hostess
della KLM ci sia stato veramente. Ma i suoi occhi sembrano lasciare
intendere che ci sia stato e si sia divertito molto.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fatto
sta che poche ore dopo, nel primo pomeriggio, andiamo in uno dei
famosi fake market di Shangai. Io, per natura, non sopporto la roba
contraffatta, ma Stig insisteva nel dire che un posto del genere era
troppo divertente a prescindere, perché è la più grande palestra
mondiale della contrattazione. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Una
volta entrata rimango basita: non è un negozio, è un intero centro
commerciale del falso. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Al
piano terra la valigeria: trolley di tutti i colori e le misure, per
lo più Samsonite, MCM e Rimowa, fatti in alcuni casi talmente bene
da richiedere più occhiate per trovare le differenze dalle
originali. Al secondo abbigliamento: Belstaff, Polo, Diesel,
Chanel…tutti i marchi più in voga a prezzi di cenci, accanto a
cenci veri su manichini che, nella loro ottica, dovrebbero essere
esempio di eleganza…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Il
bello però è al terzo piano: orologi e occhiali di tutte le marche
conosciute, rigorosamente fake. Montatura e lenti graduate vendute a
poco meno di 40 euro. In meno di un’ora le lenti sono pronte e puoi
uscire con il tuo Tom Ford vero fake. Alcuni negozi fanno prezzi
ancora più bassi, sui venti, ma hanno l’aria di potersi rompere da
un momento all’altro con il solo sguardo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Qua
e là, sulle pareti, sono affissi cartelloni della Polizia locale che
avverte che è severamente vietato acquistare e vendere materiale
contraffatto all’interno del centro commerciale…Se lo dicono
loro…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trovo
Stig che sta curiosando tra gli orologi sotto il cartello “Original
Pagnerai”. L’attento venditore cinese lo incalza, promette ottimi
prezzi. Stig non si scompone, osserva serio chi gli parla e risponde
che la qualità è bassa e dovrebbero fare più attenzione almeno nel
copiare il nome del marchio. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mentre
stiamo per uscire veniamo rincorsi dal tipo di prima. Dice a Stig di
seguirlo, che ci sono orologi che vuole fargli vedere. “Perfect
quality” ripete come un mantra. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Si
sa: la curiosità è femmina. E in questo Stig è la più femmina di
tutte. Seguiamo il cinese per un corridoio laterale al pianterreno
fino all’ascensore. Dentro troviamo un secondo cinese, socio
evidentemente del primo, che schiaccia il tasto 5 sulla pulsantiera,
dopo avere girato la chiave per sbloccare la selezione. Incomincio a
preoccuparmi. Sempre di più man mano che i piani aumentano.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Aperte
le porte dell’ascensore mi trovo in un ambiente diverso dagli
altri. Ci sono solo corridoi e porte chiuse. Niente banchi, niente
vetrine, niente venditori. Seguiamo i due. I nostri passi risuonano
secchi e rumorosi lungo gli ambienti vuoti che percorriamo. Arriviamo
ad una porta uguale alle altre. La aprono e ci troviamo nell’ombra
di quello che sembra essere un locale caldaie. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Non
ci sono rumori. Non avverto la presenza di alcuno nel raggio di 100
metri. E non so se sia una buona o una cattiva cosa. Sono piuttosto
certa verremo derubati, quanto meno.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ed
eccoci alla mano, in stile famiglia Addams, che porge la borsa nera.
Uno dei cinesi l’apre: dentro ci sono Rolex, Panerai, Tag, Piguet
che, apparentemente, al buio della stanza, sono di ottima qualità.
Stig incomincia a contrattare furiosamente con i due per il prezzo di
un Rolex.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Stig, ma tu non porti orologi…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Sì lo so, ma ora che siamo qui devo almeno contrattare per un po’.
Sarebbe offensivo per loro volere andare via subito. E, visto dove
siamo, non mi sembra il caso di farli arrabbiare. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Ecco, ora sono molto più serena.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Con
un colpo da maestro Stig dice di avere individuato il modello che gli
piace. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Prezzo 3.500 RMB che calano velocemente a 1.100. Però, ed è
la nostra via di fuga, non lo vuole con il braccialetto in acciaio,
lo vuole in pelle di coccodrillo. Il cinese dice che si può fare ma
deve dargli il tempo di recuperarlo. Ci dice quindi di tornare tra 1
ora da Chen, il negozio di occhiali, e di chiedere di Yonglu.
Vorrebbe un anticipo ma Stig è granitico: prima vedere cammello poi
dare denaro. Affare fatto.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Quando
ci ritroviamo fuori, con la luce del giorno che martella le pupille,
mi viene il dubbio, ed ormai è una costante da quando sono a
Shangai, di essermi sognata tutto.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Sei riuscito a non comprare nulla, mi stupisco di te. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
In realtà qui ci vengo perché mi diverte contrattare con i
venditori, vedere fino a dove si può spingere una trattativa. Ma non
avevo bisogno di nulla. </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Non credo esista un posto uguale al mondo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
In realtà pare che ce ne sia uno molto interessante di elettronica
nel quartiere cinese di Singapore. La prima volta che ci sono stato
non ho avuto abbastanza tempo per andarci ma a metà agosto devo
tornarci, e questa volta per diversi giorni…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Ma tu e il tuo socio non vi fermate mai? </span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-
Siamo fatti così, e poi c’è questo posto in Kallang Road accanto
all’albergo, dove fanno i Granchi al chili più buoni che abbia mai
mangiato, ed è lì che mi sono innamorato, quando ho incontrato…Ma
è meglio parlartene un’altra volta.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sì,
per oggi basta così. Mi basta avere portato la pelle fuori dal Fake
Market. Per questa volta.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Who doesn't love Ladurée? Well I certainly do and I love to collect their little Ladurée boxes and keep them on display in my room. So when I heard the brand is coming out with a new design in collaboration with Kerrie Hess I was very excited! Kerrie Hess is an extremely talented (and well known) Australian illustrator, her works had been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Talter to mention a few and she collaborated with brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade. Basically I'm pretty sure you have seen her works somewhere. I adore the fresh, springy, pastel colors she used to illustrate these limited edition Ladurée boxes and I can't wait to grab them all!! The collection will be available in Ladurée stores by the end of April. Do you like it? Which one is your favourite?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Chi non adora le scatoline colorate di Ladurée? Un vero sogno per i golosi e per chi, come me, apprezza l'estetica e la cura dei dettagli. In camera mia ho una vera propria collezione di queste famose scatoline, specialmente le edizioni limitate che sono sempre bellissime. Potrete quindi immaginare la mia felicità quando ho saputo che Kerrie Hess avrebbe collaborato con il marchio. Per chi non lo sapesse, Kerrie Hess è una famosissima e talentuosa illustratrice Australiana le cui illustrazioni sono apparse su riviste come Vogue, Harper's Bazaar e Talter (per citarne alcuni) e ha collaborato con marchi prestigiosissimi, quali Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade e via dicendo. Insomma sono sicura che avrete visto le sue illustrazioni da qualche parte! Adoro i colori pastello e lo stile fresco e primaverile che ha scelto per illustrate le scatoline di Ladurée! Saranno disponibili nei negozi Ladurée alla fine di Aprile! Io non vedo l'ora di prenderle tutte e voi? Qual è la vostra preferita?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's Spring and I'm a very girly mood...as you can see from my wish list. Lately I've been obsessed with Self Portrait, their clothes are so on trend right now. I love how the do girly with an edge and this mini, lacy dress is to die for!! I find you can never have enough black pumps and these Gianvito Rossi's are a true staple, perfect on every occasion and season. Mansur Gavriel new clutches are lovely, very sleek and minimal as you'd expect them to be a nice addiction to any look really. Usually I don't go crazy for sunglasses but these from Chloé are just up my street, so elegant and chic!! A nice ring like this one from Mejuri and a nude lipstick (Very Victoria from Charlotte Tilbury of course) and you'll look just fab!! April is my birthday month and if someone is looking for gift inspiration...I'm just saying... ;P</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">È Primavera e mi sento più femminile che mai...come noterete dalla mia wish list. Ultimamente sono fissata con Self Portrai, marchio inglese di grande richiamo. Adoro i loro capi estramente femminili ma grintosi allo stesso tempo come questo mini abito in pizzo!! Trovo che per un bel paio di tacchi in nero, non sia necessaria giustificazione e questi di Gianvito Rossi, sono un pezzo intramontabile che si abbina perfettamente a qualsiasi look. Le nuove clutch di Mansur Gavriel, sono stupende, semplici e minimali come il resto della collezione di questo brand: un vero must!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Di solito non impazzisco per gli occhiali da sole ma questi di Chloé sembrano fatti apposta per me, sono così eleganti e chic!! Un bell'anello come quello di Mejuri, un rossetto nude (si parlo di Very Victoria di Charlotte Tilbury) e il nostro look è completo!! Aprile è il mese del mio compleanno, quindi se qualcuno volesse prendere ispirazione...faccio per dire... ;P</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They say in life never say never...and oh well I'd never said I would ride a motorcycle. Not only did I ride it guys, it was one of the most exciting things I've ever done in my life. It happened by chance, one of those things you didn't plan. One of my friends (for those of you who are wondering...yes it's Stig of course...if you have no idea what I'm talking about please read <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/03/stormy-weather-in-shanghai.html">here</a> and <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/04/blue-moon.html">here)</a> is a biker and he was kind enough to take me along on one of his <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rides</span>. We went to Raticosa a passage in between Tusacany and Emilia Romagna, a true destination for bikers. The road is a masterpiece of curves and amazing landscapes, where you truly understand what freedom is, swiping your way up, at hundreds miles speed. Curve after curve, your body so close to the ground you feel one with the mororbike. It was a beautiful, sunny, Spring day perfect for a ride. There's really nothing like it and the more you go, the more you never want it to end. It's like going on a rollercoaster <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and</span> you are the one dictating the rules. I feel like this is just the beginning of some kind of journey and I can't wait for my next ride and of course I'll bring you along ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Si dice "mai dire mai"...e io mai avrei detto che sarei salita su una moto. Non solo ci sono salita ragazzi, ma è stata una delle esperienze più incredibili che ho fatto in vita mia! È successo per caso, una di quelle cose che non pianifichi, che non ti aspetti. Uno dei miei amici (per quelli di voi che se lo <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">stassero</span> chiedendo...ovviamente si tratta di Stig e se non avete idea di cosa stia parlando vi consiglio di leggere <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/03/stormy-weather-in-shanghai.html">qui</a> e <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/04/blue-moon.html">qui</a>) è un motociclista ed è stato così gentile da permettermi di accompagnarlo in uno dei suoi <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">giri</span>. Siamo stati al Passo della Raticosa, una vera meta per i motocilisti, che si trova a metà tra la Toscana e l'Emilia Romagna. La strada per arrivarci è un vero capolavoro di curve, incorniciato da un panorama mozzafiato, dove si capisce davvero cosa sia la libertà correndo a 180km orari. Curva dopo curva, il corpo vicinissimo all'asfalto, si diventa un tuttuno con la moto. Una bellissima giornata di primavera, sole, clima perfetto per un giro in moto. Non c'è davvero niente di comparabile ed è un'esperienza che non vorresti finisse mai. È come andare sulle montagne russe, ma allo stesso tempo essere quello che detta le regole. Questo è solo l'inizio di un bellssimo viaggio e già non vedo l'ora di imbarcarmi nella prossima avventura, dove ovviamente vi porterò con me ;)</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lancôme recently launched a new range of lip products called Jucy Shakers. They look like mini cocktail shakers indeed and they're lip glosses. Like a true barista you're ment to shake them and then dab them on the lips, the consistency of this product is quite unique, it's kind of bouncy, very smooth and moisturizing. The gloss is unlike any other and it's very comfortable to wear. The shades are all very pretty and you get quite a nice selection of colors, each one have a different color and a different scent. The pigmentation is light but you can definitely see the color on the lips (especially with the darker shades). After the gloss wears off you are left with a subltle stain on your lips. I got the shade Boom-Meringue which is a lovely, sheer pink.</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I think this product is really cool, another great concept from Lisa Eldridge, Lancôme creative director. Definitely go check them out and shake, shake shake ;)</span></span></h3>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Lancôme ha recentemente lanciato una nuova linea di prodotti che si chiamano Jucy Shakers. Sembrano proprio dei mini shaker per cocktail ma in realtà sono dei lip gloss. Il prodotto va agitato, proprio come farebbe un vero barista e quanto la formula è amalgamata si picchietta il prodotto sulle labbra con l'applicatore. La consistenza del gloss è davvero particolare, molto elastica, si applica in maniera facile e omogena sulle labbra con un risultato finale davvero carinissimo! I colori disponibili sono tutti molto belli e si va da colori quasi trasparenti come quello che ho preso io "Boom-Meringue" a colori più scuri, che ovviamente hanno una maggiore pigmentazione, ognuno ha una profumazione diversa. Una volta svanito il gloss, sulla labbra rimane una leggera tinta.</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Questo prodotto mi è piaciuto moltissimo, un altro bel colpo da parte di Lisa Eldridge, direttore artistico della maison! Vi consiglio di provarli la prossima volta che passate in profumeria! Shake, shake, shake ;)</span></span></h3>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pantone Spring/Summer shoes collection is out! If you remember back in January I was invited to the preview of their <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/01/pantone-universe-footwear-capsule.html">Fall/Winter collection</a> and they kindly sent me some of their shoes to try on! I got the Australian Open tennis shoes in Phantom and a pair of Kilimanjaro in the color Twilight blue. Both pairs are really amazing quality, so full of details and extremely comfortable yet stylish. The shape is classic but with an edge and the incredible Pantone color palette gives them that unespected twist that allows you to create your own iconic look. I can't wait to style them and show you in an outfit post which hopefully will be up soon! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Note to the reader: So here we are again...I know a little tight but...you know...are you ready for another chapter of my Shanghai stories? You know how it works...play the song, pour yourself a drink. This time I'll make it easy for you, I suggest a Cosmopolitan (<a href="https://it.pinterest.com/pin/45880489924490185/">here</a> you can find the recipe). Cheers!</span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sometimes globalization rimes with homogenization. It’s a given with its ups and downs. Think about it, nowadays with Gps and mobiles we are always connected and we willingly gave away a little bit of thrill for comfort.<br />When I left for Shanghai I knew I was going to see super tall buildings, lights always on, the unbreathable air, those clubs just designed for us foreigners to enjoy. I knew the names, I saw the pictures on Google, I was ready.<br />Then on Friday Stig and his partner landed in Shanghai on their way back from Hong Kong. He took the weekend off before going back to his crazy work schedule and of course he wanted to get the best out of it. I met him at the Linx, the “it” club of the moment. Dark interiors, techno music pumping at insane volume, waiters hectically bringing champagne crates from one side to the other. I checked the label just to make sure, since there were so many bottles in front of me that I thought it was Fanta Lemon. Ok no, it was champagne.<br />I found Stig on the dance floor, trying to play cool surrounded by a group o<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">f</span> models and in a second <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">was</span> in the middle of the room holding a glass of champagne. He was with a bunch of people so I said hello trying to get their names…impossible, the music was way too loud. Me on the dance floor of this club in Shanghai it all felt so…global…like something I could do at home, I wasn’t impressed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After a while I saw Stig talking to his partner and then he told me: “Out of here in 15. Next stop Bar Rouge.”<br />Those two together are a strange couple: true gentlemen that can go crazy in a snap.<br />Bar Rouge: a huge terrace with red lights facing the Bund. The music is definitely nicer here, you can dance and the cocktails are quite nice. I don’t know how Sting and his partner get us in skipping the very long line and without paying of course.<br />I saw that place online, through the pictures and let me tell you that view if quite something. While I was still soaking in what I had in front of my eyes I heard a voice “In 15 we go to Mint. C’monnnn!”. I saw Stig with a Montecristo cigar in his hand. I was about to ask but I decided not to. Sometimes ignorance is the way to go.<br />Ok at that point things begun to get challenging, my Gianvito’s are pretty comfy…as comfy as a 5inch heel can be. I was not really into that crazy night anymore but complaining wasn't an option.<br />“We are friends of D.” Stig partner said to the long legged Kill-Bill-like girls outside the club, they have a list of those lucky ones who can get in. The Mint is a very exclusive club, it even won I don’t know what kind of World prize for that. I already spotted their hateful look and I started feeling a bit out of place.<br />“Who’s D.?” I asked<br />“He’s the boss”<br />“Do you know him well?”<br />“Never seen him in my life but he's friend of a friend…”<br />One day they’ll get caught and the bail to get them out will be insane.<br />When we finally got in I reluctantly had to admit that the club was really cool: dark as the others but definitely classier, with an edge, not tacky. My eyes start to wander and I saw a long corridor who led to the dance floor. The corridor was in fact an aquarium with real sharks in it. Ok I’m impressed now. So I was back on track surrounded by a mixture of exotic beauties from all over the World. I realized Sting & Co. are not behind me, last time I saw them they were chatting like old friends with two Australian girls, probably they’ve never met before.<br />It was almost 3am and the club was still packed when I felt someone grabbing my arm.<br />“You have to see the best part of the club” said Stig<br />“If you mean the bathroom, I already checked it out. Pretty awesome uh?!”<br />“Bathroom? I’ll use this again as a joke. Come on.”<br />On the opposite side of the entrance there was another room which is actually a pretty fancy restaurant. Now it was pitch black and I hold onto Stig’s arm in a desperate attempt not to bump into something.<br />Now I can see it, out of the blue a big window where you can see Shanghai skyline. Stig grabs a table so we can sit and admire this stunning view. We can hear the music, quite far away now and in that dark silence we both got lost in our thoughts.<br />“The night I first arrived in Shanghai they brought me here for dinner. The buildings were all illuminated. I was stunned. I was running away from a very deep pain who had been chasing me for a while and seeing all this in front of me give me the will to be amazed again, to be curious, to explore. The first smile after a very long time. Seeing it all again now, even though the lights are off gives me the same kind of emotion. This is what I love about this city: it can makes you feel like this even in a club <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">when</span> is the least thing you'd expect.”<br />“Are those ghosts gone now?” I tried to ask.<br />“No. But I found Shanghai again” he replied still looking outside with his face illuminated by the moon. Yes there was a full moon that night. Hit and sunk.<br />Things like this you can't really see on Google. Maybe nowadays the beauty of discovering a place is not just by visiting it but through the feelings and experiences of those who lived those places before you did.<br />We stayed there in silence for a little more until we heard Stig partner screaming “In 15 minutes Zapata!!!”.<br />But<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> we'll talk</span> about that and the drunk hostess we found outside the Mint another time…</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Spesso globalizzazione fa rima con omologazione. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">È un dato oggettivo, con i suoi vantaggi e i suoi svantaggi: i viaggi sono meno avventurosi, anche solo comparandoli a vent’anni fa ma, sapere che dovunque andrai un gps o una rete cellulare prendono, dà un senso di tranquillità per il quale cediamo volentieri un pizzico di brivido.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Perciò, quando sono partita, sapevo già che avrei visto grattaceli, fari di luce che bucano il cielo nella notte, che avrei trovato un’aria pesante da respirare, che sarei stata in certi locali, quelli che sembrano fatti apposta per venire in contro ai gusti occidentali. Conoscevo già i nomi, avevo già visto le foto su Google. Mi sentivo preparata. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Poi venerdì è atterrato Stig, di ritorno da Hong Kong con il suo socio in affari. Aveva due giorni di pausa prima di riprendere il turbinio dei suoi impegni a Shanghai e il venerdì voleva divertirsi il più possibile. Lo raggiungo al Linx, locale che ultimamente va molto forte ed è frequentato anche da cinesi. Arredi scuri, musica tecno fortissima, casse di Champagne che vengono portate in teche trasparenti da una parte all’altra del locale in un turbinio di raggi laser verdi che fuoriescono dai cestelli di ghiaccio. Controllo bene l’etichetta perché la quantità di bottiglie aperte davanti ai miei occhi mi fa venire il dubbio che siano forse bottiglie di fanta lemon. No, è proprio champagne. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Stig è già al centro, che ballonzola fingendo di non curarsi del gruppo di modelle vicino a lui. Due secondi di convenevoli e mi ritrovo anch’io al centro con un bicchiere in mano. Saluto con un cenno le persone che sono con loro e di cui non riuscirò mai a sentire il nome là dentro. Io, a Shanghai, al centro di una discoteca come se avessi attraversato l’oceano per fare ciò che potevo fare anche a casa: omologazione, pura omologazione.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Dopo poco Stig si consulta con il socio e mi fa: “Tra 15 minuti fuori. Si va al Bar Rouge.” Quei due messi insieme sono la strana coppia: gentiluomini di altri tempi che quando rimangono fuori si comportano come se non ci fosse un domani.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Bar Rouge: una grande terrazza con luci rosse che si affaccia sul Bund. Musica commerciale, decisamente più ballabile per i miei gusti, e cocktail non improvvisati. Con Stig e socio, non so come ci siano riusciti, saltiamo tutta la coda senza neppure pagare. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Anche quel posto lo avevo conosciuto in foto, e devo dire che la vista è decisamente da cartolina. Mentre ancora sono in contemplazione di quello che ho davanti ai miei occhi sento la solita voce che mi dice “tra 15 minuti si va al Mint, gasseeeeeeee”. Vedo che ha in mano un grosso sigaro Montecristo in mano. Prima di fare qualche domanda mi freno. A volte è meglio non sapere.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ok, la serata incomincia a farsi impegnativa, le scarpe di Gianvito Rossi saranno comode a loro modo, comode come può esserlo un paio di tacchi a spillo di 12cm. Non ho molta voglia di continuare questa notte brava, ma oppormi non servirebbe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“Siamo amici di D.” fa il socio di Stig alle feroci Kill Bill dalle gambe lunghissime che tengono la lista dei “prescelti” che posso entrare nel locale. Il Mint è un club esclusivo, che ha vinto non so quali premi a livello mondiale tra i club del suo genere. La sua puzza sotto al naso mi era già arrivata alle orecchie prima di partire. Non mi sento molto a mio agio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“Chi è D.?” domando</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“Il capo” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“E lo conoscete così bene?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“No, mai visto, ma è molto amico di un amico”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Prima o poi li beccheranno. E dovrà essere pagata una cauzione salata per farli uscire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Arrivati al piano nobile, devo ammettere che mi è dispiaciuto dover constatare che, in effetti, il locale era molto bello: nuance scure come gli altri, ma con maggiore classe e un tocco estroso qua e là, misurato, senza divenire kitch. Giro lo sguardo e noto che il lungo corridoio che porta al salone dove si balla è illuminato dalla vasca dell’acquario che corre lungo tutta la parete. Accidenti, non era uno scherzo: c’è davvero la vasca dei pescecani. Ok, lo ammetto, sono colpita.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ed eccomi di nuovo in pista, in un coacervo di diverse bellezze e nazionalità, per la maggior parte occidentali. Ormai vado avanti per inerzia. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Stig & Co. non sono vicino a me, l’ultima volta li ho visti che parlavano amabilmente con due australiane, probabilmente mai viste prima, come vecchi amici.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A un certo punto, erano ormai quasi le 3 e il locale non accennava a svuotarsi, mi sento prendere per un braccio. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“Devi vedere la parte migliore del locale” mi fa Stig.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“Se sono gli arredi dei bagni ti avverto li ho già visti, molto belli”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“I bagni? Questa battuta la rivendo come mia. Vieni.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Dalla parte opposta a quella da cui eravamo entrati c’era una sala gemella, utilizzata come ristorante costoso. Ora era tutto spento e rimango aggrappata al suo braccio nella speranza di non inciampare clamorosamente in qualche cosa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ed ecco, inaspettata, dietro un muro, la grande vetrata sullo skyline della città. Stig avvicina un tavolo su cui ci mettiamo a sedere, in contemplazione. La musica dell’altra sala è in lontananza e nel buio quasi silenzioso ci chiudiamo ognuno nei propri pensieri.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“La sera che sono arrivato a Shanghai la prima volta mi hanno portato subito qua a cena. I grattaceli erano tutti illuminati. Rimasi folgorato. Stavo scappando da un dolore che mi seguiva da tempo come un rumore sordo e vedere tutto questo davanti a me mi ha ridato il gusto di stupirmi e la curiosità di scoprire, di vedere. Il primo sorriso dopo tanto tempo. Rivederlo adesso, a luci spente, mi dà ancora le stesse sensazioni, ma anche pace. È questo che mi fa impazzire di questa città: ti permette di provare certe sentimenti anche dento un club dove ti aspetti ben altre sensazioni.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“E ora i fantasmi sono svaniti?” mi azzardo a chiedere.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Silenzio. Forse non dovevo chiedere.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“No. Ma ho ritrovato Shanghai” risponde lui, senza distogliere il volto dalla luce della luna che illumina dolcemente la notte. Sì, c’era pure la luna piena. Colpita affondata. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Non c’è omologazione per un’esperienza del genere, non c’è foto, non c’è realtà virtuale che tenga. Forse oggi il gusto della scoperta non sta più nel vedere i luoghi, anche se lontani. Sta nell’avere il dono di conoscere i sentimenti e il vissuto delle persone che per quei luoghi ci sono passati.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Rimaniamo così, in intimo silenzio, ancora per un po’, fin quando il socio di Stig non arriva urlando “tra 15 minuti Zapata!!!”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ma di questo, e della hostess tedesca ubriaca trovata all’uscita del Mint, parleremo un’altra volta…</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">It's been a while since my last favourites post but this past month I discovered some true gems and I wanted to share them with you! As you can see we're mainly talking about skin care. In my recent trip to Asia I had the chance to try some new products and test out new brands such as Boscia. I always heard good things about this brand and I have to say it's true, their products are awesome. I got the <a href="http://www.sephora.cn/product/208508.html">Luminizing Black mask</a>, one of those thick in consistency that you peel of after 30 minutes. It remove all the dirt, un-clog pores and brightens your complexion! I'm hooked! Next I have a cleanser from InnisFree which is a Korean inexpensive brand very popular in Asia. They have many different types but I went for the <a href="http://www.innisfreeworld.com/product/productView.do?prdSeq=10737&eventSeq=0&catCd01=UA">Minimum Facial Cleanser</a> which is targeted for sensitive skin. It's a foam, very gentle that cleanse your skin without stripping it. Talking about make-up I was on a mission to find the <a href="http://www.sephora.cn/product/450121.html">Laneige BB Cushion</a> and I went to Sephora specifically for it (and ended up spending too much money with lots of other stuff). I'm sure by now you've seen this kind of products before, Lancome makes a great one for example but Laneige was one of the first brands to release it. It's a BB cream with SPF 50 that provide a very natural look. Considering it's a BB cream the coverage it's insane and sits on the skin beautifully. If you like a natural look you would love it. In that packaging you get a flat sponge for application and a refill which for the price (around 45 euros) it's a great deal. The only downside is the color selection so if you have the chance try to go to a store to try them. Next I have a lipstick from <a href="http://www.unebeauty.com/en/products/make-up/lips.html">Une</a> one of my favourite natural brands. It's in the shade R02 and it's a gorgeous "your lips but better" shade, very hydrating and lovely with any makeup (or non) look. My fragrance of choice is from Byred and it's <a href="http://byredo.eu/rose-of-no-man-s-land-eau-de-parfum-100-ml">Rose of No Man's Land</a>, it has notes of pink pepper, Turkish Rose Petals, Raspberry Blossom, Papyrus and White Amber. Definitely give it a sniff if you find yourself near their counter. For jewelry I wore load my Céline knot bracelet in rose gold, nothing to say it's just a gorgeous piece that add a touch of humph to any look. Last but not least I'm obsessed with <a href="http://funko.com/collections/pop">Funko Pop</a> figurines! They have so many, based on Cartoons, Tv series, Movies...and they're all so cute! Check out their website...I promise you'll want one too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I hope you like to post and I wish you all a great Sunday!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">È da un po' che non parlavo dei miei preferiti, ma nel mese passato ho scoperto alcuni prodotti interessanti che non potevo non condividere con voi. Durante la mia recente visita in Asia, ho avuto l'opportunità di provare alcune nuove marche, come ad esempio Boscia. Ne ho sempre sentito parlare molto bene ed ero curiosa di testare se i loro prodotti fossero effettivamente così buoni. Beh è confermato, alla fine la mia scelta è ricaduta sulla <a href="http://www.sephora.cn/product/208508.html">Luminizing Black mask</a> una di quelle maschere dalla consistenza pastosa, completamente nera che si applica sul viso in uno strato generoso e poi viene via tutta insieme. Rimuove le impurità, i punti neri e lascia la pelle morbida e luminosa. Il prossimo prodotto è di InnisFree, marchio Coreano dai prezzi contenuti, molto popolare in Asia. La scelta è davvero infinita ma alla fine ho preso il <a href="http://www.innisfreeworld.com/product/productView.do?prdSeq=10737&eventSeq=0&catCd01=UA">Minimum Facial Cleanser</a>, pensato per le pelli sensibili. È un detergente in forma schiumosa, davvero delicato, che pulisce la pelle senza irritarla.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Ma passiamo ai trucchi, durante il mio viaggio avevo una missione: trovare la <a href="http://www.sephora.cn/product/450121.html">BB Cushion di Laneige</a>. Sono andata appositamente da Sephora (dove ho speso un sacco di soldi...ma questa è un'altra storia) per trovarla. Sono sicura che avete già visto questo genere di prodotto, per esempio anche Lancome ne ha una ottima, ma Laneige è stato uno dei primi marchi a metterla sul mercato. Si tratta di una BB cream in forma compatta che si applica prelevando il prodotto da una specie di cuscinetto con una spugnetta piatta che trovate nella confezione. Per essere una BB cream la coprenza è incredibile e il risultato finale è bellissimo, quasi air-brushed. Il prodotto ha una protezione 50 e costa circa 45 euro, nella confezione trovate anche una ricarica che secondo me lo rende un ottimo affare. L'unica pecca è la selezione colori, quindi se avete la possibilità provateli prima. Per quanto riguarda il rossetto la mia scelta ricade sulla <a href="http://www.unebeauty.com/en/products/make-up/lips.html">UNE</a>, marchio naturale che adoro, il colore R02 è stupendo, idratante e naturale. Un vero must!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Parlando di profumi, quello che ultimamente adoro e <a href="http://byredo.eu/rose-of-no-man-s-land-eau-de-parfum-100-ml">Rose of No Man's Land</a> di Byredo. Ha note di pepe rosa, petali di rosa della Turchia, fiori di lampone, papiro e ambra bianca. Se vi capita di passare in una profumera che vende il marchio, dovete provarlo assolutamente! Come accessori il braccialetto con nodo di Céline è uno dei miei pezzi preferiti di sempre, così semplice e chic da rendere speciale ogni look. Per finire mi sono appassionata ai pupazzetti di <a href="http://funko.com/collections/pop">Funko Pop</a>, delle figurine che rappresentano personaggi dei cartoni animati, serie televisive, film...insomma la scelta è infinita! Date un'occhiata al loro sito e vedrete che ne vorrete uno anche voi!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Spero che il post vi sia piaciuto e auguro a tutti una buona domenica!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Let's talk about shopping. Shanghai is big, full of malls and to be honest after a while they all start to look the same. So depending on what you're looking for you should definitely have a plan.<br /><br />If you're into beauty and skin-care you're in the right place. There are tons of different beauty shops and my favorite are <a href="https://www.watsonsasia.com/">Watsons</a>, <a href="http://www.innisfreeworld.com/">Innis Free</a>, <a href="http://eng.etonymoly.com/ext/bbs/board.php?bo_table=shop&sca=PHILIPPINES">Tony Moly</a> and <a href="http://www.sephora.cn/">Sephora</a>. Sephora carries a few interesting brands that are hard to find in Europe like Boscia, Laneige, Stila as well as many widely available brands such as Lancôme, Dior, etc. but they have specific ranges of products exclusive to Asia. Most of them are sunscreens and whitening bases because having a bright, light complexion is a must in Asia. You cannot leave Shanghai without a few sheet masks in your suitcase. I mean you can find them basically anywhere! I went a little bit crazy in that department...and I have a huge skin care post coming up so keep your eyes peeled for that!<br /><br />The annoying part is that in most of the shops they don't really speak English and on the packaging there's no other language than Chinese or Korean...so it's quite hard to pick the right product for your skin...but the staff is really friendly and they'll try to help you as much as they can.<br /><br />Talking about fashion <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/cn/shop/">Uniqlo</a> is definitely the most popular chain there, great if you're looking for basic pieces at affordable prices but if you deeply love fashion the true gem is <a href="http://www.xintiandistyle.com/en/">Xintiandi Style Shopping Center</a>. It's not you're average Mall, there you can find an amazing selection of independent brands and really cool, unique pieces both from Chinese and <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">i</span>nternational designers. If you're tired of big Malls take a stroll in the French Concession, one of my favorite parts of Shanghai. The area is filled with small boutiques, where you can find amazing jewelry, clothes, home decor as well as cafes and Bars where you can rest while enjoying a drink with your friends.<br /><br />Last but not least you should absolutely check out the fake markets. There's one for <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">t</span>echnology, one for glasses and sunglasses where you can get a pair for about 30 euros and yes, <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">you can have your eyes tested for fress! </span> There's also another one where you can find a little bit of everything including clothes and accessories. I went there with my friends who had been there before so they taught me a few tricks and it was really funny to found myself in such a quirky environment!<br /><br />At one point I <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">found myself in the middle of</span> the craziest negotiation ever...one of my friends was looking for a new phone and he knew this Jimmy guy at the market...so we where there...they even gave us a bottle of water (serious business makes you thirsty) both my friends started the negotiation and after a while the counter was crammed all kind of electronics you could imagine. Then out of nowhere <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I became part of <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">the game</span></span>...all the three of them were tring to convinc<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">e</span> me I needed a new phone but that didn't happened <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">in the end ;P</span>. We went back to the hotel with Jimmy to arrange <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">the deal</span> and while we were sipping a delicious Mango Bellini in the lounge, he got a phone call...he sold my friend the wrong phone...so they had to go back to the market to exchange it for the right one. At that point the market was closed, but hey no big deal, you enter the empty and dark building and voil<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">à</span>...it all worked out fine eventually!!...for those of you <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">who a<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">re wondering...yes one of them was Stig of course and if you enjoyed rea<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ding ab<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">out our <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/03/stormy-weather-in-shanghai.html">crazy stor</a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/03/stormy-weather-in-shanghai.html">ies</a> in Shanghai don't forge<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">t to check back on <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">b<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">l<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">og next monday for a<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">nother chap<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ter!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </span></span><br /><br />Well I could go on for hours because there's so much to share about this city but I hope you enjoyed the post!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Ma veniamo allo shopping. Shanghai dicevamo, è una grande città, piena di centri commerciali...e ad essere onesti dopo un po' inizieranno a sembrarvi tutti uguali. Quindi a seconda di quello che state cercando, vi consiglio di fare qualche ricerca preventiva e di prepare un piano, onde evitare di perdervi. <br /><br />Se vi piacciono make-up e skin care siete nel posto giusto! Ci sono infatti tantissime profumerie e negozi che vendono prodotti di bellezza. I miei preferiti sono <a href="https://www.watsonsasia.com/">Watsons</a>, <a href="http://www.innisfreeworld.com/">Innis Free</a>, <a href="http://eng.etonymoly.com/ext/bbs/board.php?bo_table=shop&sca=PHILIPPINES">Tony Moly</a> and <a href="http://www.sephora.cn/">Sephora</a>. Da Sephora troverete alcune marche interessanti che non si trovano facilmente in Italia, come Boscia, Laneige, Stila e moltissimi marchi diffusi su larga scala come </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Lancôme</span>, Dior, ecc. che hanno prodotti esclusivi per il mercato asiatico, per cui vi consiglio di dare comunque un'occhiata. Per la maggior parte si tratta di protezioni solari e prodotti per schiarire la pelle, visto che in Asia avere una pelle candida è un vero must.<br /><br />Ovviamente non potete andarvene senza mettere in valigia almeno un paio di maschere in tessuto. Diciamo che io mi sono lasciata prendere leggermente la mano...infatti ho in arrivo un post dedicato alla skin-care che vi consiglio di leggere se siete curiosi di saperne di più si questi prodotti!<br /><br />L'unica pecca è che nella maggior parte dei negozi non parlano Inglese molto bene e sulle confezioni le indicazioni sono quasi sempre solo in Cinese o Coreano...quindi è piuttosto difficile scegliere il prodotto giusto...devo dire però che il personale si ingegna per venire in vostro aiuto e che con qualche ricerca preventiva il problema della lingua può essere aggirato.<br /><br />Parlando invece di moda, la catena più popolare è decisamente <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/cn/shop/">Uniqlo</a>, ottimo per trovare capi basici e di buona qulità a prezzi contenuti ma secondo me la vera perla è il centro Commerciale <a href="http://www.xintiandistyle.com/en/">Xintiandi Style Shopping Center</a>. Al suo interno troverete una selezione incredibile di capi ricercati e originali, sia di stilisti Cinesi che <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">i</span>nternazionali. Ottimo posto per scovare nuovi trend e prendere ispirazione. Se vi siete stufati dei Centri Commerciali, <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">po<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">tete</span></span> fare un giro nella French Concession, una delle mie zone preferite di Shanghai. Qui troverete tantissime, deliziose boutique che vendono gioielli, accessori, vestiti, articoli d'arredamento unici e originali. Il quartiere è pieno di café e Bar dove potrete fermar<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">vi</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">per una pausa</span> e fare due chiacchiere con gli amici davanti a una birra o un caffe.<br /><br />Ultimo ma non meno importante, non dimenticate di fare un salto ai vari Fake Market. C'è quello dedicato all'elettronica, quello specializzato in occhiali, dove con poco più di 30 euro vi portate via la montatura con le lenti graduate...e sì vi misurano anche la vista. Per finire c'è quello dove trovate un po di tutto, dalle valigie, alle borse ai vestiti. <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">C</span>i sono stata con alcuni amici che ci erano già stati, quindi mi hanno messa in guardia sulle possibili fregature e insegnato alcuni trucchetti. Ma anche solamente per dare un'occhiata vi consiglio di farci un salto, non capita tutti i giorni di trovarsi in un ambiente così strampalato!<br /><br />Vi dico solo che mi sono trovata ad assistere ad una delle negoziazioni più assurde che abbia mai visto! Uno dei miei amici stava cercando un nuovo telefono, quindi ci ha portato da Jimmy un ragazzo che lavora al mercato dell'elettronica. La cosa è andata per le lunghe e mano a mano che il tempo passava il bancone si riempiva sempre più di oggetti di elettronica di tutti i tipi: cuffie, cellulari, carica batterie, ecc. Ci hanno perfino portato delle bottigliette d'acqua (perché si sa, le migliori contrattazioni mettono sete). I miei amici erano presissimi a contrattare davanti al mio sguardo incredulo e divertito e ad un certo punto, senza che nemmeno me ne rendessi conto...in tre stavano cercando di vendermi un telefono nuovo...alla fine non ci sono riusciti ;P. Dopo un oretta tutti contenti siamo tornati verso l'albergo insieme a Jimmy per finalizzare <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">l'acquisto</span> e gli ultimi accordi. Stavamo sorseggiando un delizioso Mango Bellini, nella lounge quando Jimmy riceve una telefonata...aveva dato <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">al mio amico</span> il telefono sbagliato! Che fare quindi? Si torna al market...che però a quel punto era chiuso, ma nessun problema anche se il luogo è deserto e le luci sono spente...si entra lo stesso e in mezz'ora era tutto risolto!!<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> ...<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">p</span>er chi di voi se <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">lo stasse chiedendo...s<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ì uno di loro <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">è Stig ovviamente e se <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">vi è piaciuto leggere le <a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/03/stormy-weather-in-shanghai.html">nostre avvent</a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="http://missfunnyface.blogspot.it/2016/03/stormy-weather-in-shanghai.html">ure</a> a Shanghai, </span></span>vi aspetto lunedì per <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">il prossimo capitolo</span> ;)</span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br />Potrei andare avanti per ore a raccontarvi di posti e situazioni, quindi capirete quanto è stato difficile fare una selezione. Spero comunque che il post vi sia piaciuto e di essere riuscita a darvi qualche buono spunto se vi troverete a visitare Shanghai!</span><br />

a green concussion with basil and vodka, delicious and doesn't really

prima di ordinare.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Night. I was wandering around the streets of Shanghai…what can I say? I always dreamed about visiting this city, so modern yet so full of contrasts, it was one of those nights to keep in mind once I’d be sadly back home.<br /><br />But…a friend of mine, a musician, called me around midnight. We'll call him Stig. He just finished singing and he doesn’t felt like coming back to his hotel: “Want to see a place? Ok meet you in 20 minutes in front of Element Fresh in Xintiandi. Then we can walk there, it’s not close but it’s nice outside.”<br /><br />I have to admit I was slightly worried: this guy is a bit…say…unpredictable and "it's nice outside" meant 7°.<br />After just about half an hour of cit chats I found myself in front of a shop selling cook books and household products. Oddly enough it was still open. He red with amusement my doubtful look.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With the daring face typical of all Opera singers, he whispered something to the clerk behind the counter. This lean guy, nodded with a blank face and turned to a library full of Chinese cook books.<br /><br />I thought he might want to buy one for me, even though I didn’t quite got why, since we’ve know each other for a while and he knows I don’t really cook…<br /><br />and then the magic happened: the lean guy slid the library along the wall, like in Young Frankenstein and revealed a narrow corridor, with red brick walls, barely illuminated. It can’t be real, I couldn’t believe it. My friend whispered in my ear “Hold your jaw, it’s not all yet.”<br /><br /><br />The corridor led to a top floor where I found myself in a small bar, wooden furniture and amber lights. We were in a sort of small club, where you can have a drink while listening to jazz music. In the hearth of Shanghai this place makes me feel like I’m in New York during Prohibitionism.<br />Amazing.<br /><br />The room <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">looks</span> already full<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span>with the few customers who were <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">alre<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ady in</span></span> in. We kept running the wooden stairs but after a few steps we had to stop. The stairs ended on a blind landing. <br />He told me to “Push the map on the wall” and so I did: I placed my hand on an old map of Shanghai, faded by the time and something clicked: the wall moved and we enterd the privèe.<br />An even smaller counter, a bar-woman behind it and six stools. The warm lights made me feel at ease and the sound of a Sax warmed up my ears. Moments of astonishment mixed with happiness.<br />I was in a movie and no one told me about it.<br />The bar-women looked very young, she has delicate features but she handled the shaker with confidence behind the counter.<br /><br />Her name is Faye, she’s Japanese and she’s the Bar manager. She told me they don’t just make drinks, they prepare real cocktails, elixirs of pure joy for your eyes and palate. The products they use are top quality, meticulously measured to create their special recipes, most of which are secret.<br /><br />The decor is not casual: the nuances of the wood, the lights, the interiors, the aged metal of the counter…everything is designed to make you feel like who’s behind the counter is not just an element but the main character.<br /><br />At this point I’m game and I order a Charlie Brown, so well presented that I almost feel bad to taste it. <br /><br />My friend plays Humphrey Bogart and ask for “the usual”, even though he points out that is a “Stormy Weather”. <br /><br />When I saw Faye serving him the drink with a coaster that looks like a music score I get why we chose a Stormy Weather. He likes to be stylish even with his drinks.<br /><br />What can I say? In a place like this where the lights are not strobing and the music makes conversation easy, time goes by so nicely but unfortunately relentlessly.<br /><br />An hour later on a taxi, on my way back to the hotel I asked myself if it really happened, wondering if it was just a dream. Then I look down at the playing card with Charlie Brown & C. still in my hands and I convinced myself that yes, it happened and if one day I want to go back there it wouldn’t be a problem I wrote down the address on the back of Stormy Weather coaster…<br />What? Do you want it too? No way, it’s too easy, you have to ask <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Stig</span>…</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sera. Una passeggiata randagia per le strade di Shanghai...che dire? Per me, che ho sempre sognato di visitare questa città così moderna e così piena di contrasti, era già una serata da conservare per i momenti un pò tristi, una volta tornata. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />E invece...un amico musicista mi contatta verso mezzanotte. <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Lo chiameremo Stig.</span> Aveva appena finito di cantare e non aveva voglia di rientrare in albergo: “Ti va di vedere un posto? Ok, tra 20 minuti davanti Element Fresh a Xintiandi. Poi ci arriviamo a piedi, non è vicinissimo ma stasera si sta bene fuori”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Ero un pò preoccupata, lo ammetto: il tipo è un pò imprevedibile e la serata calda di cui parlava segnava sul termometro 7 gradi.<br />Dopo poco meno di mezz’ora di chiacchiere mi trovo davanti ad un negozio che vende casalinghi e libri di cucina. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">È stranamente aperto. Lui legge divertito il mio sguardo interrogativo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Con quella faccia di bronzo che solo un cantante lirico può avere, bisbiglia qualcosa al commesso dietro la cassa. Questo, un ragazzo smilzo <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">dal</span>lo sguardo imbambolato fa un cenno affermativo col mento e si volta verso la libreria con sopra i volumi <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">di </span>cucina cinese.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Vorrà regalarmene uno penso, anche se non ne capisco il motivo, visto che ci conosciamo da un p<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">o'</span> e non ho mai cucinato...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Ed ecco che inizia la magia: lo smilzo fa scorrere la libreria verso sinistra, lungo il muro, come fossimo in Frankenstein Junior, facendo apparire un corridoio stretto, poco illuminato, con pareti di mattoncini rossi. Non è vero, non ci credo. Il mio amico si avvicina al mio orecchio e mi fa “aspetta a perdere la mascella, non è finita.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />In effetti il corridoio porta al piano superiore, dove mi ritrovo in una piccola sala bar, arredata <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">con</span> legno caldo e luci ambrate. Siamo in una specie di piccolo club, dove si servono cocktail e si ascolta musica jazz. Nel cuore di Shanghai un posto che fa tanto periodo proibizionista a New York. Fantastico. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />La saletta è già piena con i pochi avventori che vi possono entrare. Continuiamo per le scale, ora di legno, ma dopo pochi passi dobbiamo fermarci. La scala finisce su un pianerottolo cieco.<br />“Push the map” mi dicono è così faccio: appoggio la mano su una vecchia cartina di Shanghai ingiallita dal tempo e faccio scattare il meccanismo: la parete scorre e siamo nel privèe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Un banco ancora più piccolo, una sola barman dietro il banco e 6 sgabelli. Il Sax mi scalda le orecchie, la luce mi rilassa. Attimi di attonita felicità. Sono dentro un film e nessuno mi ha avvertito.<br />La barman dietro il bancone sembra giovane, lineamenti dolcissimi ma movimenti decisi ed esperti con lo Shecker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Si chiama Faye, è giapponese ed è l<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>a</i></span></span> Bar <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">m</span>anager. Qui non si fanno bevute mi spiega, si preparano veri cocktail, elisir di puro gusto non solo per il palato ma anche per gli occhi. I prodotti usati sono solo i migliori, le dosi studiate, rigorose e, in alcuni casi, segrete. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Anche gli arredi non sono un caso: le nuance del legno, delle luci, della tappezzeria, il metallo invecchiato sopra il bancone...tutto è pensato per catapultarti nell’atmosfera in cui chi sta dietro il bancone non è un elemento ma protagonista. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Ormai immersa nel gioco ordino un Charlie Brown, tanto ben presentato che quasi mi dispiace berlo. L’amico fa Humphrey Bogart e chiede il solito, precisando poi però uno “Stormy Weather”. Quando vedo che Faye glielo serve su un sottobicchiere su cui è stampato uno spartito, Stormy Weather appunto, capisco perchè ha scelto quello. Stiloso anche nei cocktail, lui.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Che dire? In un posto così, così pieno di personalità, dove le luci non sono laser e la musica agevola <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">invece di impedire, la conver<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">sazione</span></span>, il tempo scorre piacevolmente, rilassato. Ma purtroppo inesorabile.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Poco più di un’ora dopo, mentre in taxi rientro in albergo, mi chiedo se è stato un sogno. Poi guardo la carta da gioco con sopra Charlie Brown & C. E mi convinco che sì, è successo. E se un giorno avessi la possibilità di tornarci, non avrò problemi: l’indirizzo me lo sono segnato sul retro di Stormy Weather...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br />Come? Lo volete anche voi l’indirizzo? Neeeeeee, troppo facile, dovete chiedere a Stig...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Spring is <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">finally here</span> and I'm ready to ditch my boots and heavy coats and soak in the colorful, pastelly vibes of this season. A new season comes hand in hand with closet clean out...and I don't know about you but it freaks me out every single time. I live in a small space, my closet is tiny and things get crammed so easily!! Recently I learned about MakeSpace, an <a href="https://makespace.com/locations/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">on-demand storage</span></a> service that uses technology to help you declutter your life. Amazing right?! They provide you with free bins and wardrobe boxes for you to pack the items you'd
like to store. They pick up, store, and deliver your stuff back when you want so you never have to visit a storage unit again. It's so convenient and they even have an app which makes things even easier! You should absolutely check out their website and I swear you (and your closet) won't regret it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So for this season I'm excited to bring back 7 staples that you cannot miss in your wardrobe!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Let's be honest I tend to wear all black during Winter but in Spring I feel more playful and I can't wait to pop on some colors!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">2. </span></b><u><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Trench Coat</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The best part of warmer climate is wearing a trench coat. To me a trench look so classy and effortless, you can wear it day and nigh and always look perfect. Plus is light to carry around!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">3. </span></b><u><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sandals</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ok I know in Spring it's still kinda chilly but I love wearing high heeled sandals on a night out and you can kind of get away with them now...without having your toes completely freezing!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As I was telling at point 1 for me Spring means color and there's nothing cuter than a colorful clutch! You can lighten up any look or play contrast with your outfit!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I wear them all year round but now there's actually a chance to experience a sunny day and it makes a whole of a difference isn't it? So pop you're trendy sunnies out and enjoy life!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">La primvera è <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">finalmente arrivata</span> e sono prontissima ad abbandonare stivali e cappotti pesanti per godermi l'atmosfera colorata, dai toni pastello di questa stagione! Con il cambio di stagione, arriva l'immancabile cambio dell'armadio...e non so voi ma per me è sempre una tragedia. Vivo in uno spazio piccolo e il mio armadio è minuscolo, quindi le cose tendono ad accatastarsi facilmente. Di rencente sono entrata in contatto con MakeSpace, una compagnia che offre un <a href="https://makespace.com/locations/">servizio di storage</a> attraverso un sitema tecnologico ed innovativo e ci aiuta a ordinare la nostra vita. Fantastico no?! Portano a casa vostra tutto il necessario per inscatolare le cose che volete mettere via, le prendono, le mettono in magazzino e ve le riportano quando volete. Hanno anche una app che rende il processo davvero semplicissimo. Dovete assolutamente visitare il loro sito e vi prometto che fare il cambio dell'armadio non sarà più la stessa cosa!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ma torniamo a noi, per la primavera ho deciso di condividere con voi 7 pezzi irrinunciabili in qualsiasi guardaroba!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">1. </span></b><u><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Vestiti colorari</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Sarò sincera, durante l'inverno, mi vesto principalmente solo di nero ma in primavera mi piace sperimentare con i colori e non vedo l'ora di tirare fuori dall'armadio i miei abitini colorati! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></b></u></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">2. </span></b><u><b><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Trench </span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Quanto le temperature si alzano, la cosa migliore è inssore un bel trench. Per me è un vero classico, sempre chich, perfetto sa di giorno che di sera e in più leggerissimo, quindi facile da portare in giro! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Ok

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Come dicevo al punto 1 per ma la primavera rappresenta i colori, e non c'è nulla di più carino di una clutch dai colori pastello! La potete usare per illuminare un look, o giocare con i contrasti. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Boxer braids are are the new thing if you want your hair to be on fleek! Born as a fashionable way to keep the hair out of your face while you're working out, it quickly became popular in the star system. Kim Kardashian (and North) was among the first to sport them and well now you can see them anywhere! It's not the easiest look to achive but I love it and I'm definitely going to attempt to recreate this look. You can find a tutorial at the and of the post if you want to try this hairstyle yourself! I hope you like it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Le Boxer braid sono il nuovo trend in fatto di acconciature! Nate come un modo di tenere i capelli in ordine e lontani dal viso mentre si fa sport, sono presto diventate di tendenza tra le star. Ovvimente Kim Kardashian (e North) non potevano mancare tra le dive che hanno resto questo look ancora più celebre. Ammetto che non è facilissimo da ricreare, ma voglio comunque provarci e se voleste provarci anche voi, vi lascio il link ad un tutorial alla fine del post! Spero che vi piaccia!</span></div>
