Shark Attack Travels // Ascoli Piceno: Day 4 + 5

The reason why I skipped 2 days of photographs is because I was stuck inside, collecting votes for the competition in which I could win a vintage Chanel-bag. My best friend Dario spent 3 days at my aunt's restaurant back in Belgium, asking every single client that entered to vote for me. He's such a sweetheart and I bought him a nice Thank You-gift, but I can't tell you what it is, because he reads my blog! I ended 2nd in the competition and I want to thank everyone who voted for me!

We went to Meletti to drink a crodino yesterday, which is a 100-year-old bar and used to belong to the Meletti family, famous for their anisette. After that, we went straight home. It started to rain again, so it wasn't fun to stay outside.

P.S.: Sorry for the repetitive bag and shoes. Flying with Ryanair comes with tons of restrictions, so I hate to limit myself to one bag and two pair of shoes (my Chloé boots and Chanel espedrilles). A nightmare for every blogger!

Shark Attack Travels // Ascoli Piceno: Day 1

Hi from Italy! 

Yes, I'm finally here again with my mom and my sister. I haven't had the chance to visit my family for 10 years, so it definitely feels good to be back. I'm staying at my mom's cousin's house and I'm glad I'll be able to update the blog during my stay, even if it takes forever with the slow Internet connection.

My family lives in Ascoli Piceno, a medieval city located in the middle of Italy's east coast. During our arrival and the first part of our first day here (which is today) it was warm and sunny, but now it's raining cats and dogs. We went for a walk around the city and it feels surreal to be here again. Plus, as a history lover, it's perfect to be surrounded by Roman bridges and medieval buildings. I already ate too much, by the way: white pizza with corn, stuffed olives (olive ascolane), risotto, frozen yoghurt, mini pizza on the go and we still have dinner tonight. 

I already tried to snap as many pictures as possible. I'm so proud to show you the beautiful city I can call my temporary home again.

Personal // Help Me Win A Chanel Bag

I'm usually not one to ask / beg for votes, but when Chanel is involved, shit gets different! I've been selected to participate in the Labellov x Belmodo-contest and do you see the pretty yellow Chanel baby above and below? Well, it could be mine if I get most votes by the end of May 12.

All you have to do is go to this page, click on the picture with my name (Krizia Schiavone) and hit that blue 'Vote'-button. It all just takes a couple of seconds, but it would mean the world to me!

Thanks, sweets!

Money VS Budget // Nicholas Kirkwood VS Zara

When I spotted these colorful lace-up sandals at Zara, I immediately thought of the Nicholas Kirkwood for Peter Pilotto-collaboration. It's clear that Zara's designers took inspiration from the collection - laces in the front, zipper in the back, cut out shapes plus the black and white pattern - but it's not an exact copy. Just the way we like it, right?
