Launched in 2012, #TEB has finally transitioned from a naive fashion blog to a young web magazine: mark this site as your ultimate source about the world of fashion & entertainment.

New columns have been added to the main scheduling, and the old ones have gone through a makeover, just like the logo and the blog layout.

In spite of these several changes, #TEB wit, passion and creativity are still there: whether we are talking about a red carpet coverage, a fashion show review, seasonal trends, beauty secrets or simply analyzing hot topics or giving you cooking lessons, #TEB voice will still speak its mind with no filters.

Time to meet the #TEB family:

STELLA 

Well, I guess that everything starts with me and my love for writing and fashion: I realized how deep my passion was, when I took my Economics degree, discussing a thesis about Coco Chanel & the development of the Italian fashion industry. #TrueStory

Creating this project has not been easy, but I am really proud of my little creature; watching how it is developing is quite entertaining and I believe I am not going to stop any sooner.

I might be the brain of #TEB, the one that got the first glimpse of the dream and worked hard day-and-night to make it come true, but believe me when I say that my ambition alone could not have make it without the support of the insanely talented people I am about to introduce you to…

PHRANCI

Basically the eyes of #TEB and one of my most trusted advisors.

I have fallen in love with her photography aesthetics, so natural and young, almost immediately, while she got captivated by the blog and the creative challenge it was representing. 

Beside providing beautiful photos, featured in the section #TEB Exclusives, she also plays a major role in the #TEB Essentials column, sharing her personal styling tips for the seasonal must-have.

See more of Phranci’s works on her personal blog.

MsD

The precious, original and fearless voice of the Fashion section. A real fashion lover: there is little she does not know about designers, fashion trends and models! She is the one that launched the Reality Check column, where basically no one is safe: it girls, designers, models, editors, celebrities…brace yourselves because she is the fashion police! Her main contribute is featured in the Fashion section, and more specifically in the following columns: runway, reality check, models on social media, and #TEB Essentials.

Keep up with MsD on Twitter.

CLAUDIA

We do not want to hide our Italian origin, but since #TEB needed to be comprehensible to everyone, I knew that the team needed to develop an international voice…and here comes Claudia, the international soul of #TEB. Sometimes I like to think about her as the English teacher of my dreams: beside managing the language of the articles, she is always by my side when it comes to do interviews (featured in the #TEB Exclusives section) or write beautiful posts for the blog. 

Check Claudia’s Linkedin profile.

LESLIE

He has the music in his blood, a beautiful voice, a heart full of ambition and has survived a national talent show: what else can I say to introduce such a talented friend? You first have met him on #TEB through an interview and a few articles, but now you will see him as a regular on the Music section. Each month he will entertain us with the hottest trends in the international music industry…oh and if you are lucky you might be gifted with an exclusive cover!

Keep up with Leslie on his Facebook page

MARTA

She is the one that helps us to enhance our beautiful self. 

Since her magic hands are the cherry-on-top of our photoshoots, we thought that it was a good idea to gift her with a real Beauty column, where she could deliver some beauty secrets or simply review the best makeup seen on runways or red carpets. Her creativity usually goes wild on Halloween, when she can create real cool and spooky masks. 

Keep up with Marta on her Facebook page

MARCO

The one that could resume #TEB with a dish.

After some funny and yummy interviews, Marco a.k.a Le Prince has officially become a regular on #TEB; where? In the new Food section of course! Each month our favourite pâtissier and cooking expert will delight us with a tasty and original recipe that you all can try at home! 

Get your aprons ready!

#TEB has evolved from a timid diary to a cool news blog, but more than this #TEB has become part of me and my family: I was alone when I started this journey 3 years ago, with no clue about where this could have led me or how much this would have changed me. It seems a playful hobby but running a blog is a real full time job: you need a lot of passion and determination not to be discouraged by the several challenges associated with it. 

I have faced many storms alone, but this helped me overcoming my fears and meeting a group a people that would have changed my life forever.

I am so thrilled to be finally able to say that I have an amazing team behind my back. 

They are young, talented and love this blog as much as I do, in one way or another: Phranci and her beautiful pictures, MsD and her fearless tongue, Claudia and her amazing writing abilities, Leslie and his indeniable talent for music, Marco and his delicious dishes, Marta and her beauty secrets.

I mean it guys, you are the best!

I guess this is the reason that triggered my ambition even further: #TEB is no more my little fashion corner, but a real and fearless news blog that is not afraid to speak its mind about fashion and entertainment industry. 

If you are looking for fun, you are in the right place!

Think about #TEB as your best friend, the one that would never lie to you, the one that would tell you straight in the face:

2016 will be our renaissance: new juicy columns, new logo, new graphic, new articles and much more fun!

We will take a little time off from the internet to spend time with our families and beloved ones, but...

we will back on JANUARY 7th with a brand new look!

So keep an eye on us, because the best is yet to come.

BEAUTY TIPS by Marta #1

written by: Marta & Claudia

"Life is too short to wear boring accessories"

As much as I favour simple silhouettes in clothing, I have also proved to you my insane love for loud accessories and unique ones, perfect to enhance an outfit and your mood as well.

Need an example? Just take a look at your phone’s case: whether funny or not it does reflect your character and improve your mood anytime you look at it.

I have embraced this philosophy on a warm Sunday afternoon, when I dolled myself up for test shoots around the city with #TEB’s photography-talent Phranci: the light was good, the outfit on point, the camera ready…only my character needed an injection of confidence & casualness to strike poses in public and deliver good pictures!

How did I overcome shyness?

TOO LATE's accessories & 3 easy steps!

I know it sounds fancy, but there is no limit to the power of Made-in-Italy fashionable goods, take a look:

1) Music

To be honest the right playlist can even turn traffic jam into to your “happy place”: I have made my statement matching my earphones to my Clubber mod. single bracelet, the first music-jewel designed by Too Late.

wearing: CLUBBER MOD. SINGLE

2) Energy

Since starving will not take you anywhere, between takes I tried to enjoy a sweet juice (apple, carrot and ginger: my new essential!) and shift to a more romantic bracelet for the following pictures: chic butterflies at my wrist thanks to 2L8 LAB Voilà collection.

wearing: 2L8LAB VOILA' bracelet (mod. Butterfly Acquamarine)& 3D HANDBAG

3) Have Fun!

Working with natural light is beautiful but also challenging: do not waste time, because once the sun is gone there is no turning back! 

Sometimes the best way to avoid being stressed about the timing is to free your mind, smile and let your instinct do the talking...ok, ok, keep an eye on the Too Late's Mash-up slim lord wristwatch anyway! 

wearing: MASH-UP SLIM LORD wristwatch

As the sun went down we knew the shooting was over: time chill & plan the next project on my 2L8 LAB #SAVETHEDATE bracelet!

There are several ways to award yourself after a challenging day (in Blogger-land): popcorns+movie, some motivational quotes, online shopping, a night out with your friend...

(If you select the last option make sure to involve a Cosmopolitan!)

#TEB Shoot

Accessories/Jewels: TOO LATE

Location: Brescia

Visto che i week end frenetici stanno diventando un must della mia vita, giusto per non farmi mancare niente ho riempito il sabato pomeriggio con una gita a Castello Quistini a Rovato.

Motivo? Direi che un mercatino vintage è sempre un ottimo motivo per fare una gita fuori porta.
L'occasione di "Mercanti in Viaggio" si è rivelato uno straordinario pretesto e non solo per lo straordinario contesto di Castello Quistini!

Una giornata da passare con le persone care con gioia e amore 

To all of you: MERRY CHRISTMAS by #TEB  

*Special thanks to Dolce Impero and Phranci for the pictures!!
