There’s a Special Smell in the Air

Fashion· Outfit of the Day

Last week I went back home to Rome for a couple of days. Every time I go back, even if it is just for two days, I always find that the air has such a different smell from any other place I’ve been to and it always takes me back to my childhood.

There’s a special smell in the air, a different smell for every season.

I remember when I was younger, and still living in Italy, I could always tell when Spring was coming, March brought that fresh, clean, floral smell into my room and every morning I couldn’t wait to go outside and  take a deep breath and enjoy the air.

There's a special smell in the air

I haven’t lived in Italy for about seven years now and every year I wish I could go back in March or April just to smell that special Spring air again.

We link special smells to memories and experiences we’ve lived through and some smells I wish I could bottle up and keep with me forever. Maybe that’s why some of us love perfumes so much. It’s a form of nostalgia and spraying a little bit of a specific fragrance around us makes us feel closer to a person, or better, a memory that’s been lost in the past.

Welcome

Ciao!

My name is Erika, I’m 29 years old, half Canadian and half Italian, I am proud of being both and I never introduce myself as only one or the other. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, but you’ll see me travelling all over the world. On this blog I’m going to share my own, personal style, my favourite beauty products and everything and anything I like or just feel like writing about. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay on my blog!

I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy ob I have a healthy (because I say so) / unhealthy obsession with scones! I have been looking and making scones for so long and I don’t think I’ll ever stop because scones are the best! Especially topped with clotted cream and jam 😍 all this to let you know I found really good ones in Toronto at @kittenandthebear and I recommend you go try them if you’re as passionate about scones as I am! Now… where’s my tea? 🤔…. ❤️ enjoy!

I spent the last 18 days with my family and friend I spent the last 18 days with my family and friends. I visited my favourite cities, laughed with some of my favourite people and enjoyed my beloved spring, sunny days. 
I left 18 days ago, doubtful and uncertain of the future and I leave soon full of hope. Now it’s time to go. But I go knowing that I will be back soon.
I also need to go check on my cat.
