It’s not just her Cindy Crawford-esque mole that’s made Italian concept owner Eleonora Carisi stand out from the fashion crowd, but her individual state of mind and style has left us wanting to know more too.

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?
When I wake up I like to see what’s going on outside my window, then I have a cup of green tea, eat some Greek yogurt and then I can think about my day. I love to take time for me before everything starts.

What are your everyday wardrobe staples?
It’s depends on what I have to do, but in my everyday life I usually wear a basic t-shirt and skinny jeans – it’s comfy for going around the city!

What books are on your beside table?
The Happiness Project. My best friend Cristina bought me it for my last birthday and day-by-day I discover new things to do to be happy.

Do you have an everyday motto?
Free to be you, of course. This was my motto when I opened my shop 10 years ago and it’s still my personal motto today too.
Where’s your favourite place?
Right now, it’s the place where I’m with him.
What does style mean to you?
Style for me means having good taste.

In what ways do your Italian heritage and culture influence your style choices?
There is romanticism with a touch of sadness. This is typical of Italians, like me, who live in the north of Italy. Not forgetting, the influence of Italian music like Patty Pravo, Mina and Lucio Dalla. Everything is about ‘la dolce vita’.

Why did you start writing your blog?
I was writing on another platform about new designers and I felt the need to write about fashion – something more close to my world. So I opened my own platform for talking and writing about everything.
