Mercato Monti post for Ramp1885

Here is a post I did for Ramp1885

One of my favourite Sunday outings, is a trip to Rome’s Monti district. It is bursting with quaint cafes, vintage stores and little art galleries. It is especially wonderful in winter, to wander around the narrow streets, grabbing  a slice of pizza, while on a mission to find a cosy bar and a big glass of red wine, to help  warm you up.
Almost every Sunday’s, there is the Mercato Monti (Monti Market), which is a great place to get away from that winter chill outside. My equivalent to Aladdin’s cave, antique jewellery sparkles along side funky handmade iPad covers, in rare, tweed fabrics. You can find the talented designs of local Rome artists, such as guitar picks fashioned into earrings and rings and old Levi jeans cropped, studded and printed, each in a unique way.
 t’s the perfect place to find that vintage, designer handbag you have always dreamed of or even a quirky gift to bring home, for the friend who already has everything!

In a way, Mercato Monti, is a good representation of Rome. The old standing along with the new. Rome is thousands of years old, but it continues to amaze, both tourists and Romans alike. It is an ancient beauty, in a modern world.

My Roman Subject

Sometimes it's nice to be behind the camera, instead of awkwardly squirming infront of it. So in a reversal of roles, I took some pictures of my boyfriend Lorenzo in his new vintage, suede bomber jacket, with a thick collar. I loved how excited he was to find it, and then how he HAD to put it on straight away.
We picked this up recently, on a Sunday spent in Rome's Monti district. I love this area, as it is full of vintage shops and little cafes, perfect for some red wine to warm you up and keep you going on your bargin hunting.

Thats all for now,
Love Dani xx

WILDFOX Clueless Lookbook 2013

'As if !' 'Whatever!'..... One of the most iconic movies of the 90's has been recreated for the WILDFOX Spring lookbook 2013. These photos have made me think of the first time I saw the movie, and the awe inspiring closet of Cher. The image of her deciding what to wear, from her computerised closet, has stayed with me to this day, and is still an aspiration of mine !
No one else can make white knee socks and backpacks look so good !
Thats all for now,
