Ecco qui quindi una guida ai regali per qualsiasi tipo di amico/a, compagno/a, mamma e papà...e ricordatevi che ognuno di noi si merita il regalo giusto per Natale!

FASHION

Shall we star with a bang? Ok! The first gift was pick from our boss Stella, a show-stopping burgundry faux fur coat (1). For your diva-like friend. A good alternative could be a chic faux fur stole, like this one from Zara (4).

According to MsD coffee-table books are a great present for anyone: with a luxurious book of iconic photos, you won't fail to impress even your most choosy fashion-lover friend.

Moreover there is no fashion-addicted who doesn't love Marc Jacobs! If you are on a low budget, on marcjacobs.com you will find many accesories, like these (3), for less than $ 50.

Vogliamo iniziare col botto? Ok! Non per niente questo primo regalo è stato scelto dal boss Stella, una ecopelliccia LPA rosso sangue (1) che fa certo passare inosservate. Per l'amica diva.
Una buona alternativa potrebbe essere un'elegante stola, sempre in eco-pelliccia (molto chic quest'inverno), come questa di Zara (4).
Per la nostra MsD i coffee-table books sono un ottima idea regalo per chiunque. Non mancherete di far colpo nemmeno sui vostri amici più 'difficili, regalandogli un lussuoso libro di foto (2) che hanno fatto la storia.
Tra le fashion addicted presenti sicuramente tutte amano Marc Jacobs. Se avete un budget ridotto, su marcjacobs.com troverete molti accessori (3) a meno di € 50.

BOOKS

Who doesn't love books? The answer: nobody! In particular, this book (5) will warm up your winter evenings sitting next to the fireplace - approved by Claudia!
Let's be honest - I am not the only insane person who buys large amounts of Moleskine and then never uses them because they are too cool, do you agree? Maybe yes, I am alone; however, don't do that with this Harry Potter limited edition Moleskine (6).

Chi non ama i libri? La risposta è: nessuno! In particolare questo libro (5) sarà un'ottima compagnia durante le serate invernali accanto al fuoco, approvato da Claudia!

Ditemi la verità, non sono l'unica pazza che compra Moleskine a non finire e poi non le usa perché sono troppo belle? Probabilmente sì, voi non fate lo stesso con questa edizione limitata di Harry Potter (6).

FOOD

The kitchen is #LePrince's kingdom, so he is the perfect person to advice us on presents related to the cooking world. The first one is for meticulous people: a colour-coded chopping board set, which helps reduce cross-contamination of food.

If you want to go big, this KitchenAid Stand Mixer is for you! It is marvellous: thanks to its elegant glass miking bowl, you will be able to see what happens inside it, while whipping the cream for your hot chocolate!

La cucina è il regno di #LePrince, quindi chi meglio di lui può elargire consigli sui regali? La prima idea è per i precisini alla Carlo Cracco, una serie di taglieri (7) ciascuno dedicato ad un cibo particolare, così da non mescolare i sapori! Se invece volete fare le cose davvero in grande, questa planetaria KitchenAid (8) è spaziale, grazie alla ciotola in vetro potete vedere tutto quello che succede all'interno mentre montate la panna da mettere sulla cioccolata calda!

MAKE UP

Marta had so many gift ideas for the make up section, and she finally choose this kit Urban Decay (9) - don't mind the cost, just buy it! Uh, that was a present for others...if you still have money left, this smoky eye kit (10) is waiting for you!

Marta aveva una lista infinita di idee per questa guida ai regali natalizi, su questo oggetto si è dimostrata un po' titubante, ma non chiedetevi quanto costa questo kit Urban Decay (9), regalatevelo e basta! Ah già, queste sono idee regalo per gli altri, se rimane qualche soldo questo smoky eye kit (10) fa al caso vostro!

MOVIES & TV SERIES

For those of you who are more interested in TV series, here it is the first Christmas' gift idea (11). Winter is coming, if you know what I mean, and you should be prepared in your sofà with pop corns and a hot blanket. And if outside it is snowing and your feet are freezing, here's the perfect Christmas present that can match your request not to go out shopping and warming you feet! Directly on Amazon you can buy Star Wars Slippers (12) for you and your best friends!

Per i fanatici delle serie TV, ecco qui la prima idea regalo (11). Winter in coming, se sapete cosa voglio dire, e dobbiamo essere preparati sul divano con pop corn e copertina. E se fuori sta nevicando e i nostri piedi sono congelati, ecco il regalo ideale che unisce la voglia repulsione per uscire al freddo con la necessità di tenere al caldo i piedini! Direttamente da Amazon le pantofole di Star Wars (12) per voi e per i vostri amici!

TECH

Though it is not hi-tech, it definitely is trendy: with this Michael Kors Fuji Instanx Mini 70 (13) you will have a fashionable gift for analog photography enthusiasts; you can buy it only in Michael Kors shops!
Last but not least, the nicest present ever: the Unicorn Powerbank (14), which combines unicorns' loveliness with the need of having your mobile phone always charged.

Non è che sia proprio tecnologicamente all'avanguardia, ma sicuramente è di moda! Con la Fuji Instanx Mini 70 targata Michael Kors (13) avrete in un colpo solo un regalo fashion per gli amanti della fotografia analogica. Si trova solo nei negozi Michael Kors! Infine ho lasciato il regalo più bello di tutti ovviamente. Unisce la bellezza degli unicorni alla necessità di avere il telefono sempre carico, ecco l'Unicorn Powerbank (14)!

Good shopping to everyone!!

FALL FASHION 2016: #TEB ESSENTIALS

source

#TEBcrew 's fashion team is back for some trendy advice about your back-to-office style: take a seat and enjoy some fashion pills by Stella, MsD & Phranci!

Stella

When Summer is over and we step into Fall, the first thing I need to buy is a pair of boots: it doesn't feel like Fall untill I wear my new boots. This year on the top of my wishlist there are these colorblock suede over-the-knee boots from Stuart Weitzman, which are perfect to throw on either with skinny jeans or with a mini skirt.

I was also looking for a new bag: something different and luxurious, but spacious and comfortable at the same time... Basically this leather Medusa backpack from Versace.

Finally, I have to admit that it keeps getting harder to resist Gucci. For me the highlight of the Fall collection is this silk reversible bomber, with the Gucci garden print on one side. Flowers, butterflies, ladybugs, birds, bees, beetles and the kingsnake: there is no doubt that this bomber will make any look a showstopper. Who said that Fall is the most boring season?

MsD

As I have already told you about my obsession for bomber jackets in my latest post and I had also picked a bomber jacket for my previous Fall 2015 wishlist, I decided to commit this new wishlist to three other key pieces for the new season.

Let's start from the bag: since the arrival of Alessandro Michele as new creative director of Gucci, the Italian brand has been literally everywhere. So why not investing some money on an Italian timeless bag from one of the most popular brands now and ever? Some Gucci bags are too extravagant for me, but I fell in love with this simple one. I think this color is amazing for every season.

Let's move to the second key piece: a pair of Yeezy boots. The brand might have no history in comparison to Gucci (sorry Kanye!) but it is one of the most wanted brands at the moment. If you love these boots as much as I do, but you are not willing to spend a lot of money for something that will probably lose its value very soon, then I suggest you a much cheaper alternative for only £39.

And finally my third piece: a wrap skirt. Whether it's a mini or a midi skirt, I think this style is very easy to wear and suits every occasion. Just make sure to pick a high waisted one: it will make you look taller!

Phranci

In every single wishlist I represent the "dark side" of the style: always extremely comfortable, sporty and easy and also this time I will not deny myself. Starting from the Asos Jacket, I love the military trend, I think is so versatile. In this case the "boyish" print is embellished by a nice mirror tape trim.

If you are looking for something more elegant, look at this Burberry version - so stylish.

Personally I am a huge fan of Adidas shoes, in particular Stan Smith and Superstar models, but this time I was looking for a...shiny version! Nothing better that a Metal Toe Cap version (there is also the copper one, but I prefer the white one) to not go unnoticed this fall.

Honestly I don't remember a wishlist without a bag, a black bag. Bags are not like clothes, you don't have to have a certain shape to wear this accessory. And a black bag is not difficult to match with any kind of outfit. That's because I have chosen this J.W. Anderson medium Pierce bag. Because of the dimension (my bags are a sort of black hole where I lose everything: coins, receipts, car keys...) and because of the huge and punky closing piercing.

I have to admit that the alternative to the bag was a pair of cat-eye sunglasses but, let's be honest girls. Summer is officially over.

SUMMER FASHION: #TEB ESSENTIALS

#TEBcrew 's fashion team is back for some trendy advice about your summery style: take a seat and enjoy some fashion pills by Stella, MsD & Phranci!

Stella

Summer fashion to me is all about 3 statement adjectives: comfortable, sexy and timeless. As I plan my upcoming vacation (USA here I come!), I already know what won't be missing in my luggage: classic denim shorts, like this one from One Teaspoon, a chic one-pice swimsuit (my ongoing fashion crush) by Norma Kamali for special pool-paties and sky-high lace-up wadges (Michael Kors), perfect to upgrade any look, from day to night.
A classic set, yes but you know me: if it's timeless, it's the right choice!

Imagine this: your toes in the sand, the sound of sea weaves, the taste of a fresh cocktail...

I think this Zara limited edition dress would definitely fit the scenario.

However, if you you are planning to pass your holidays at work, than this pretty Lazzari shirt should be your daily must-have! Check out the Lazzari website: there are a lot of interesting clothes, especially for romantic girls.

Last but not least a cool leather backpack: not so "summerish", yes, but I'm desperately looking for one! Zara had two nice versions, but they went out of stock like...immediately!

This college-inspired one is a good alternative to those high-end and too expensive Michael Kors/ Givenchy/Moschino designed leather backpacks.

For me Summer = Sea, so for this season's wishlist I picked three key-pieces for a holyday by the beach. First a crochet bikini by She Made Me, in my opinion the best brand for crochet bikinis. Then a pair of playful pom pom sandals, which I would style with a white cotton mini dress. Pom poms have been a big trend lately, with famous brands like Aquazzurra or Dolce &Gabbana using them to decorate their flat or heeled sandals and even bags. Finally a pair of colorful silk shorts. These Dolce & Gabbana shorts are the perfect choice for a holiday in Capri or Taormina!

SPRING FASHION: #TEB ESSENTIALS

If your favourite clothing shops are starting to confuse you with thousands of so called "spring trends", then you are in the right place.

Illustration by Hayden Williams

Let's be honest, we don't really need to revolution our entire wardrobe every season to fit a specific seasonal trend; sometimes what we really need is a trendy key-piece to glam up our personal style.

Agree? Then, check out some spring shopping advice from #TEB's glam team!

As you know, when it comes to fashion I am all about statement pieces and timeless ones: never waste your money if it is not worth it.

This season seems to be all about fringes & lace-up sandals...(Groundbreaking) I dare you to find anything different on the market right now.

Just to be clear, I am not a fan of festivals-inspired fashion: basically because it doesn't fit most of our daily occasions. I mean, spring is much more than Coachella, isn't it?

However I have found out a compromise: take the best out of festival fashion and turn it into something more metropolitan and chic. That's why I have included fringed skirts and heeled lace-up sandals in my spring essentials list: original pieces that should be part of every woman's wardrobe.

Last but not least a classic trench coat, which I can describe just as "money well spent!". This is a timeless coat that applies to almost any kind of personal style, from the more casual ones to most chic ones: this is one of those fashion design you would never regret buying.

Miu Miu sunglasses are a must for every fashionista. There are so many iconic models to choose from. I really like these pale green sunnies with a '70s retro vibe. They have big round frames and pentagonal-shaped lenses.

I have a thing for light aqua nail polishes (I even believe that they make your hands look more tanned, if this makes sense). YSL created this lovely pastel jasper green shade, called 'Peace Green', for the Spring 2016 'La Laque Couture' limited edition collection.

I also picked a pretty playsuit with floral appliques, which is from an Aussie label I'm currently obsessed with: Alice McCall.

Brace yourselves girls: we are in THAT time of the year when every gym owner makes a lot of money because of your dreams of a perfect bikini body. But what about the look? It has to be comfortable when you are working out but also fashionable and as to distract people at the gym from the fact that you probably are sweating like a pig. First of all I've chosen Adidas floral leggings: it's a good choice if you don't like to show your bottom with a supershort pair of...shorts. In my opinion Under Armour is one of the best athletic brand. Do you remember the stretchy shirt Chris Evans wore in the first scenes of "Capitan America: the Winter Soldier"? Yeah. Under Armour. This bra will embrace your chest and will help to keep all in place; but please, don't forget this is a bra, you have to wear a top on it. Last, from the top to the shoes. I have a crush for Nike shoes because they are so colorful and cushy. These in particular are recommended for fitness and training. Don't forget to choose your shoes depending on the type of sport you want to perform. Ok. Now you can go and burn down that fat around your paunch!
