I met Rachele a few years ago when she was a student here in Milan. She charmed me off my feet with her bubbly personality, and I was immediately impressed by her brilliant, unique style. She's not the trendy type, she often opts for, elegant, beautiful, whimsical or custom tailored dresses. I would say that her style is a sort of "rich minimal," Simple and straightforward, yet full of lovely details and usually cut in a gorgeous silhouette. You can see for yourself in the outfits she chooses for our little shoot. Now please join me in getting to know her better.

Monday is the toughest day of the week for me. I always need something inspiring to get me to sundown. Like this pic of Viviana wearing a super pretty sundress. It's the kind of thing that I would love to throw on this evening for a pre-dinner aperitivo (which I probably will desperately need since I leave for vacation in four days and have tons of work to finish). And don't worry, I totally noticed her gorgeous accessories. They too, will totally help soften Monday's edge. 

What do you do to get through Mondays? A ten mile run? Kickboxing? 100 Laps in the pool? A massive breakfast of eggs and pancakes. Brownies, cookies, gelato at lunch? Or Vodka by 7pm?  Lol.  Happy Monday!
Xx, Tamu

Last night Tommy Hilfiger Milan hosted a little Summer cocktail on its gorgeous terrace to toast the upcoming Italian Summer vacation season. I bumped into Eva (the crown queen of sequins), and fell in love with Ilaria Chiavacci of vanityfair.it who nailed her neon-centric look. The fête was the perfect way to celebrate being home after my quick trip to fantastic L.A. Thanks T.H.!

You've seen Giulia here on ATPB before. In fact I've known her for at least six years now, and we've become pretty good friends. Beautiful, as sweet as that first chocolate chip cookie that you tried as a kid, free spirited, kind and extremely stylish, I would love for you to get to know her better. Please enjoy and Happy Monday!

















Name: Giulia Tordini

Occupation: student - fashion communication

Passion: travel, music, food

Hometown: Civitanova Marche, a small town by the sea. To be more precise, my house is on the top of a hill, surrounded by cornfields or sunflowers, it depends on the season.

Current Town: Milan

Favorite City: New York, Paris
Favorite places to shop in those cities
New York- Opening Ceremony, Alexander Wang, Equipment, Assembly, Love Adorned.
Paris- L'Eclaireur, Colette, Shine, Isabel Marant. 
And all my "secret" vintage shops I discovered during my stay in both cities.

Favorite place to eat in New York and Paris
New York- Freeman's, Indochine, Cafè Gitane, Public 
Paris- Derriere, Chez Omar, Davé, Hotel Costes, La Perle in Paris

What do you do to get your day started: I drink two big cups of coffee while listening to good music, and when I start dancing in the closet, it means that it worked.

Favorite Breakfast Food: Buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup, strawberry compote, bananas and, why not, nutella. Then coffee, coffee and coffee again.
Favorite Food: Pasta is my favorite, but I eat everything and love discovering different cuisines, even if I think I've tried them all.
Fruit: Mixed Berries (better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream)
Favorite Breakfast spot: Da Sissi in Milan.

What's your beauty routine: No beauty routine. Just be natural. Little make-up and messy hair.
Skin: Every day and night I use facial and body creams chosen just for me by my beautician after an accurate analysis of my skin.
Where do you cut your hair: I'm waiting for my hair to grow. The last last time I cut my hair was two years ago in NYC at a friend's place. It was the first time that I met him and he turned out to be a hair-stylist. Upon laying eyes on my curls, he told me "Baby, you need help with your hair". Now he is a great friend.
Nails and other personal grooming: I'm obsessed with getting manicures and pedicures. My nails have to be prefect everyday so much that I prefer doing by myself: short and red is my favorite.

Any style rules (for instance you only wear black shoes): Be at ease.

What do you do before you go to bed: smoke a cigarette and call my mum.

What are your plans for the Summer? My plan for this summer is to not have plans. It's unusual for me, but I decided with some friends to spend August together, it doesn't matter where. I'd like to visit the south of Italy, like Sardinia or Sicily, better if by boat. We are so lucky here in Italy to have such amazing places, we don't need to go far away. Of course just girls.
Favorite Summer drink? Mojito. Refreshing and perfect for the summer. 
What's your favorite Summer outfit? Cropped tops with high waist skirtS and lovely jumpsuits with floreal printS, easy to wear. Shoes: kjacques flats and espadrilles.
