I haven't written a bilingual post for A LOOONG time so here we go! I finished reading the book 'Revenge Wears Prada' few days ago and as I went through the last sentence I realised that for all the time I've been reading it I imagined it visually, especially when it came to what the characters were wearing. So, even if we'll have to wait for the movie adaptation of the book, here my take on the outfits :-)
I've created them almost 'by the book' with few adjustments on the way. Not going to give away the plot but I'll put each outfit in its context. Plus at the end of the post my review of the book.
P.S. The outfits are those wore by Andrea.

Non ho scritto un post bilingue da TAANTO tempo quindi eccolo qui! Ho finito di leggere il libro 'Revenge Wear Prada' qualche giorno fa e appena letta l'ultima riga mi sono reso conto che per tutto il tempo non ho fatto altro che immaginarmi visivamente cio' che era stampato sulla pagina, in particolare quando si trattava di cio' che i protagonisti indossano. Anche se dobbiamo aspettare un po' per la realizzazione del film, mi sono cimentato nel creare gli outfit del libro :-)
Li ho messi insieme in maniera 'libresca', fedele al libro con qualche piccolo aggiustamento. Non vi racconto la trama ma vi metto ogni aoutfit nel suo contesto. La mia opinione sulo libro a fine post.
P.S. Gli outfit sono quelli indossati da Andrea.

My review of the book.
Maybe it's because I was expecting more Miranda and more of her bitchiness, maybe because I was expecting a more fashion related events, maybe because I was expecting more behind the scene drama but I was quite disappointed and bored by the book. The most entertainment moments are the ones in which Emily is in it with her acute sense of business, fashion sense and sharp comments. The whole development of Andrea's life, the wedding, her married life and the baby are lame and flat and it is a big shame that Miranda doesn't have a bigger role in the development of the plot :-(( Let's hope that the film version is more glamorous, fashion driven, dramatic, full of Miranda and Emily than the book.
La mia opinione sul libro.
Forse perche' mi aspettavo piu' Miranda e piu' della sua acidita', forse perche' mi aspettavo piu' moda ed eventi legata ad essa, forse perche' mi aspettavo piu' dramma da 'dietro le quinte' ma sono stato abbastanza deluso ed annoiato dal libro. I moneti piu' interessanti sono quelli in cui c'e' Emily con il suo acuto senso degli affari, il suo gusto per la moda ed i commenti caustici. L'intero sviluppo della vita di Andrea, il matrimonio e la bambina sono noiosi e piatti ed e' un p[eccato che Miranda non abbia un ruolo maggiore nello sviluppo della trama :-(( Speriamo che il film sia piu' glamour, dettato dalla moda, drammatico e pieno di Miranda ed Emily.
A low cost dress to beat the crisis? Here it is the Minimum Wage dress at £3.68! Great concept, great name, great colour but I'm not sure about the design and the wearability. Have a look by yourself at SheLikes.com and let me know your opinion ;-)
