Europe Dreaming


It has been two years since i've set foot in Europe, and the withdrawal symptoms are getting worse. But alas, in a year, I will be heading back with my darling boyfriend, and my god I am so excited! 















13 Questions

Welcome, welcome, welcome! This is me, Bella, your humble narrator speaking to you. This is my third blog, i've had a few, and none have truly fulfilled what I had hoped to do. I envision a fashion blog, one that exudes old world style with a modern touch, to show the power of class in a world where it barely exists. But lets face it, nobody wants me to examine every moment of my life, so i have decided to answer 13 personal questions I have been asked, in a hope that I can give you a snap shot of me.

1. What do you order at Starbucks?
Honestly?  A grande caramel frappucino with whipped creme, possibly the unhealthiest thing on the menu, but christ it's good!
2. What's one thing in your closet that you cannot live without?
That is such a tough question. I pride myself on my labyrinth of a wardrobe. I very rarely chuck out any of my clothes because I believe that at some point, it will come in fashion again. This mantra has proven very correct as i still wear a dress i wore when i was nine. But, if i MUST, it would be my formal (prom)  gown. It is a stunning mauve tule gown in Carla Zampatti's wedding collection. It is one of the few things I would grab if there was a fire in my house. 
3. What's one thing that most people probably wouldn't know about you?
I was a dancer for ten years, I was meant to leave school and become one professionally, but the school started weighing the students, and I knew it was my time to leave. 
4. Name one thing that you want to do before you die.
Ummmmm, set up an orphanage or a school in a third world country. 
5. What's one food that you cannot live without?
Anchovies, seriously. 
6. What quote/phrase do you live your life by?
No quote in particular, but anything Marilyn Monroe or Oscar Wilde has uttered is pretty essential. 
7. What do you like and dislike about the blogging community?
I love the blogging community, it is an open space free of judgement which allows people to create friendships internationally. 
8. What's your number one most listened to song on iTunes?
Happy Ending by Mika
9. What kind of style would you define yourself as having?
Italian Riviera/ clean cut/ classical style. 
10. Favorite number
(12)
11. Two hobbies
Reading fashion bloggs and sewing. 
12. Two pet peeves
Racist people in denial and people without a moral compass. 
13. Guilty Pleasure
Dance Moms on Foxtel, I live for Abby Lee Dance Company!


So that is a little bit of me. I hope you enjoy what you have read as there will be much more to come. Welcome again, and please stay a while...
