My beautiful Italian mama always incorporated silk scarves and bold earrings into her look. She passed that classic Italian look down to me which I’m so grateful for. I miss her every day. Thank you for another fantastic video. I’m a big fan! 🥰
As a SERIOUSLY addicted thrifter, I have to let you know that your channel has helped me par down alot. With today's circumstances I'm glad that I've purged, donated and gifted a ton of items. Thanks so much for your great content!
Not to knock French style, but I looooooooove Italian style. The Italian women(and men) have such a fantastic sense of beauty and it is so elegant. I ❤ these videos.
Tamira Bennett Volk What other people? My cheek bones are very high and the bridge of my nose is low. So they either dig into my cheek bones or sit weirdly on my face. It takes time for me to find a flattering pair, plus I wear a side swept bang. 😂 lol!🚨
You might want to check into Zenni Optical. You can order many fun Rx sunnies OR buy fun regular glasses and add a custom polarized clip on lens at the end of the order. The polarized clip-on adds just a few dollars more and most models seem to include that option. I found some wild and unique options. The site is easy to use and include your Rx and pretty economical. Some styles won't accommodate every Rx, but they'll tell you. I've had good luck. Hope you find something you like.
I used to only add accessoires on special occasions, same with a button up. Not anymore! Even with jeans and a basis tshirt, just add some nice jewelry and it makes the outfit complete! Thanks for the tips! 🥰🙏🏻
I love your "Italian Style" content! I live in Australia, but my parents are Italians. I've always struggled with my style but loved getting dressed up and now I realise it's because of my Italian heritage! Love your work, it's so inspiring please keep it up! Xx
I love your curated collection of accessories, especially that poppy flower scarf that you keep re-using in all kinds of outfits! As a French I share the love of scarves! Idea for another video: for me it's still unclear when I need to accessorize (add a belt or not, add a scarf of not) and I have trouble reaching the perfect balance (interest without overwhelming). ♥️
That beige pant with linen and the belt with the woven bag with silver is exceptional. I will need to rewatch this.🌹nice red bag in thr inner photo! Thx for sharing. J
Accessories take an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. They are the punctuation marks, the magic elixir and the piece that can really highlight the personality of the wearer. Needless to say, I really enjoyed this video. As I am older, in your beautiful mother's generation, I have quite a few accessories! I have upgraded my scarves thanks to The Real Real. I did purchase one beautiful Hermes scarf new at Neiman Marcus the year I was turning 50, but all others are from The Real Real. Belts are always a good idea for those who really want to control volume...as a petite...I need to control volume and cinching at the waist is a neat trick! Earrings...where to begin! I need to organize and edit those, but yes earrings are great ways to frame the face or continue a color from head to toe! Necklaces....long necklaces to break up tunics or dresses that don't have a pattern...to direct the eye to travel the entire silhouette. The neck loving necklaces....like my gorgeous ANA LUISA ALYSSA NECKLACE is perfect for that added glimmer that frames the face! Sunglasses! Yes... so many of those! As the decades pass...I have accumulated a few. The good news it...the frames come in and out of style and I have all of them covered. I added a pair of white sunglass frames...a pair in a round version and another in a cat-eye. I picked up a great pair of Karen Walker sunglasses at the Real Real years ago...love them! GREAT VIDEO and I love talking accessories! I also get into handbags...but that is another story! Bead Bag addiction vintage and new! OH AND SHOES! You need to do a video on SHOES AN BOOTS! Hats...Love those, too. My summer hats are large straw hats to protect my skin from aging...along with SUNSCREEN. It has worked (I wish I was thinking more of my hands in the past). I really love hats in Fall, Winter and Spring when the Chicago weather can go from pleasant to downright subzero Cold (you know about that). Again. GREAT VIDEO!
Hi Lisa! I'm so glad you are still enjoying your necklace and LOVE your love and use of accessories! Yes - shoes and boots I think are their own category!! Couldn't agree more - and hats! Thank you so much as always for sharing your expertise and thoughts, always enjoy your comments! xx
Accessories are like salt to food:they make the taste. Inspired by your videos I have been using them to change the vibe of my styles and make a change and transition from for example classic to more edgy look. Accessories are small items that make a huge difference. Thank you for this video. I love Italian girl style. I love French style too, but I feel that Italian is more feminine. Looking forward to another video from you. Take care 🙂
Hmmm yes lots to think about. I think maybe they are winters and look great at the hockey rinks. I am a Spring so I hopefully can look good on the soccer field, ha ha. They also manage to look dressy when only wearing casual clothes. Thanks for replying.
Lovely and fun video. Gracie mille Alyssa! Years ago my mother gave me her box of silk scarves, including a small silk handkerchief that my father wore in his suit breast pocket that I wear around my neck, wrist or on the handle of my purse. Ciao bella!
oh wow i love the story of that scarf Jeannette! Thank you for sharing and watching, i'm so glad you liked the video. baci and have a wonderful week xx
Alyssa Beltempo OMG! It’s gorgeous! Classic design that’s hard to find. I’m in the Los Angeles area. When we’re allowed to go out again, I’m going to hit up some vintage stores. Thank you!
I’m italian and i have fun in looking this video! Everything true 😊 i wear the things you talk about but i didn’t know they were typical of italian style 😊
I sadly don’t have a lot of sunglasses, as mine are prescription, but I did choose a pair that would fit in with my general style 😊 I definitely need to make more use of all my scarfs.
You right I'm a big fan of sunglasses, belts and bags of course... I wil try to add some scarfs in my summer outfit, I just hope that in the meantime the lookdown will end soon. ( Sorry my English is really bad...)
I loooove the blouse you’re wearing at 2:49 with the rattan bag. What is the fabric? I love that it’s not stark white and stiff. I’d love to find a blouse like this in plus size. Great video!
Thank you so much! It's linen :) It's from a Canadian company called Power of My People and they go up to a 3xl so have a great size range. :) So glad you liked the video! xx
Recently new subscriber and I just love your approach to fashion and I've been wanting to elevate my style so these Italian and French videos are soooooo helpful and inspiring to me.
Hi Alyssa, I personally have always enjoyed vintage accessories. Used to use some of my mom's accessories that dated back to the 50s, and still do. One piece that really stands out are a pair of earrings in the shape of a large daisy, but so well made and delicate and great for Summer with a beautiful wide brim sun hat on a beach promenade, wearing a halter top.
I think I I have checked all the boxes with this one.....I am never without sunglasses, scarf or a beautiful Italian leather handbag.....GREAT VIDEO AS AKWAYS....STAY SAFE AND WEALTH......
Alyssa...I love your tips... this is the best video in internet about italian woman style !! please make another one talking about colors, fabrics, makeup ...pleaseee!! Thanksss
Alyssa, wonderful video as always! A different topic request!... Considering we should repeat clothes, basics should be more, few latest to keep it latest and yet harmonious, and we are using more natural fibres like cotton, silk, wool, cashmere, linen, usually how many washes these fabrics can withstand before they are to be discarded?.... Would be obliged if you can make a video on this
Hi Richa, I touched on garment care last week but this is an interesting question ... i really think it depends on the wearer and how you care for them, as well as the way the garment was manufactured itself so it really will vary from garment to garment also - person to person! Others will mend while others may want to donate/recycle ... will think more on this topic! thank you for watching and the suggestion!
Hola Alyssa! You mentioned if we can hear about hats, not sure if your visitors mentioned about making a video dedicated to hat styles. Cause yesterday my husband and I have mostly fedora hats we handle or 20's and antique models from the 30's wish I got it @ vintage swap meet stand 10 years ago...It will be awesome if you provide your wisdom, of course, by the way, I saw your add on your videos, That's great! Me "gustaron mucho"! thumbs up with the "shop in your closet" issue, very use full idea to rescue your tops and skirts and convert styles.
Another informative Video Alyssa thank you, I too need prescription sun glasses however I use the sunglass readers from Costco, and can sit by the pool and still read a book. You get two pairs for $20, they come in different strengths,and the styles are quite flattering and up-to-date I find. Can’t go wrong!
Wonderful video, thank you. I would have appreciated advice on hats and headwear for summer as, due to modesty, hair loss and / or personal style, they are a significant staple of many women's everyday wear. Ciao from the UK.
Omg Alyssa I just love your style, I’d love to look as cool as you. You have this effortless glamour and class like French and Italian women .... trés chic! 🥰 xx
Love hunting leather goods at thrift stores. I found a unique red purse made in Spain for 5 dollars - 1 small ink stain on the inside of a handle but otherwise in perfect condition with stitches intact and no scuff marks. I have a couple of silk scarfs from China I got as gifts but haven't worn them much as they don't go well with my skin tone so I may tie them around a Panama style hat this year. Please make a hat video. Thanks and hi to kitty.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video thankyou Alyssa. I've noticed whenever i'm out and about in summer and wearing sunglasses i receive more compliments. I love love love the silk scarf you have tied to your handbag!! I now tend to be holding my bags in the crook of my arm rather than over my shoulder. So i've had to invest in a couple of smaller bags. It gives a classier look to any outfit i think. Cheers and have a great week. Bev xx
Alyssa, thanks for the great style recommendations for accessories. I never thought about sunglasses as a way to spruce up my outfits. I also LOVE scarves and I relegate them to Winter and Fall but will pull my lightweight ones out now. It will be nice when we can finally get out of the house! Be well!
I love the Italian style. It’s funny, the handbag looks exactly like the one Sophia Petrillo has in the sitcom The Golden Girls. She’s an old lady from Sicily.
Can you talk about belts and how to wear them? I have wide and skinny belts and as I was recently decluttering my wardrobe, I put my skinny belts away for another time. Then I see you wearing a skinny belt with that lovely lavender dress. I have just kept out my medium size belts, thinking the others were out of style for current fashion. But then I noticed your wide scarf which you used as a belt and I thought, what a great idea. So when should you choose what belt to use?
Hi Alyssa! Thanks to you, I learned the power of accessories, from pendants, to a scarf! that little details change a wardrobe from stylish, to bad choice garments(a quite LOL )haha Happy Wednesday gil! we're in the middle of the week! yeah!
Hi Alyssa, I love your videos. Ihave a question regarding sunglasses: I wear prescription sunglasses and can be pricey. What do you suggest for acquiring a variety of sunglasses when one has to wear prescription which are changed out every two years. Grazie. Hugs. Cindy
Hmmm this is a great q - can you wear contact lenses? I wear glasses but am able to keep a lot of my old sunnies by wearing them with contacts ... Another thought could be simply getting the lenses swapped out with your new Rx vs buying a whole new frame ... I'll come back to this if I have other thoughts it's a great q :)
@@AlyssaBeltempo Thank you bella. Unfortunately, contacts are not an option and for me, part of the fun of a new prescription is purchasing a new frame. Such is life . .. Enjoy your Sunday. hugs, Cindy
If you are in the United States, check out Warby Parker. They do Rx sunglasses in a variety of styles at relatively reasonable prices. They have a smattering of physical shops, but really they live online and have a quiz to help you choose shapes and they give you an opportunity to try before you buy. (Maybe other countries have a similar vendor? I don’t know.)
I don't own any sunglasses as I don't believe in them but can see how they can accentuate a style. I have a lot of bags (most of which are vintage) but I get lazy changing them out and so end up with the same one all the time. Time to up my game.
You are amazing I like your style so much... I am watcing you because im too close to your fashion style... Congratulation again for your fashion ideas you give us Many kisses❤️
How young are you ? You are a beautiful Italian like me ! Love your style ! I can’t wait to dress up again ....sick of all my athletic clothes and lounge wear lol. Love thrift stores !! They are the best !!
Beautiful looks and great ideas as always! Could you please share what is the white button down shirt you wear when you talk about purses? Thank you 💓💓💓
Hi Elena! It is from Power of My People - it is the linen friend - proper fit style. I believe my discount code still works if you're interested: ALYSSABELTEMPO :)
I have been experiencing a lot of problems lately when it comes to wearing earrings. It seems I have developed high sensitivity if not allergic reaction to gold. Do you have any advice on how to prevent that from happening? I'd really like to be able to enjoy my gold and pearl beauties. Thanks!
I have enjoyed you channel for quite some time. I watch for your styling tips and how to use things I already have as opposed to constantly buying new. Lately however, it seems as the climate here has changed, with every “tip” is an accompanying sales pitch... thank you for the wonderful videos of the past, I wish you much luck and success going forward, but it is time for me to move on to another slow fashion stylist.
Hi Joyce, thank you so much for sharing your feedback in a kind and encouraging way. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry of course, to see you go and understand you need to seek out content that works for you! :) Although none of the mentions today were sponsored, these days I've been getting more questions about brand recommendations so try to include them where I can, as well as highlighting brands that I want to support through this pandemic. Either way, your comment provides food for thought and I hope you are staying well and healthy. xx
hmm is it still the smaller part of your body in comparison to chest and hips? I think if you still have the same proportions you can still rock a belt ... it's difficult to tell without seeing you in person ...
Such a lovely video, Alyssa! Thank you, bella! Well done as always...Beautiful ideas and examples - much appreciated. 🥰🌼💖 Did you enjoy a glorious Sunday weather in Ottawa today? Everyone was laying on every single patch of grass here in TO. Was lovely to see the city come alive....xoxo N
Hi Natalya! I'm so glad you liked it! :) We had beautiful weather today and yesterday - so glad you enjoyed it too in TO. Looks like we're back to winter this week though - haha - stay safe and well and have a wonderful week! xx
that rattan purse though!!!!!! glorious!! perfect for you and suits all those looks!! my hubby loved watching this one with me!!! he loved the camel/white/cream looks!!!!!! also, GOOD ON YOU for keeping your slim figure while quarantined!!! its inspiring!! 👍😁
Yes, I still have a silk scarf from my nonna. Yes, real silk. No, doesn’t match my undertone at all. And Yes, I definitely will start wearing it as a belt or tied round a handbag’s handles. Thank you, Alyssa! 🤗
Hi Vivette! I'm so sorry I didn't know it had sold out - that must have just happened! I thought it was such a thoughtful mothers day gift too which is why I mentioned it - I'm so sorry i'll find out if there are plans to bring it back into production.

Not to knock French style, but I looooooooove Italian style. The Italian women(and men) have such a fantastic sense of beauty and it is so elegant. I ❤ these videos.
Also - I think Italian style is more fun than French, which is lovely but can feel kind of repressed.
So helpful. My daughter brought home a silk scarf from Italy on her travels, and now I have ideas on how to incorporate into my wardrobe. Thank you.
Awesome looks ! My sunnies have to be Rx though. I don’t get to have fun like other people. 😎
Oooh yes I lost my only pair of Rx sunnies and am really missing them!! Thanks for watching Tamira xx
Same boat, but my Rx sunnies are a classic pair of Anne Klein tortoiseshell frames with dark lenses. My husband calls them my “Sophias.”
Tamira Bennett Volk What other people? My cheek bones are very high and the bridge of my nose is low. So they either dig into my cheek bones or sit weirdly on my face. It takes time for me to find a flattering pair, plus I wear a side swept bang. 😂 lol!🚨

Same here with Rx sunglasses. I don't get to change them out to match my outfit.

Yes, hats! Especially now on sunny days I change out what hat I am wearing to serve two purposes: keeping the sun off my face and as a style element.
Sunglasses = exclamation point of your outfit...love it! Great analogy Alyssa 👍...I'll remember that.

I never saw a denim blouse styled so elegantly. I am shocked ! Wow 😲.
Thank you so much Michelle!
That lavender dress is to die for! Anyhow, thanks for reminding me of the power of a belt in an outfit. Time to dig out mine!
I am still bad at mixing and matching accessories and I underestimated for a long time how much it does for the look. Very good video.
Love this, it inspired me for my style when we visit Italy the end of September
Yesss..I have at least 50 pairs some sunglasses. Many are from the 80s n 90s (yes I saved them that long
Amazing! Love how you've kept your sunnies! Those styles are so on trend right now - you can definitely shop your closet! xx

Alyssa Beltempo Rumor has it that some hot air is going out of the handbag 👜 market in the next few months or so. I will be watching intently 👀. ❤️

But then I noticed your wide scarf which you used as a belt and I thought, what a great idea. So when should you choose what belt to use?
Love the bags. Your fur baby is getting big. I need to do more with my scarfs.
Thank you Antoinette! Yes he is! haha Thank you for watching xx
That lilac dress on you! whoah
I so enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!!
So glad you're liking them! xx
Hi Alyssa! Thanks to you, I learned the power of accessories, from pendants, to a scarf! that little details change a wardrobe from stylish, to bad choice garments(a quite LOL )haha Happy Wednesday gil! we're in the middle of the week! yeah!
Hi Alyssa. Bev again. Could you please do hats on another video and beach/vacation wear Italian Style etc. ? ?
I never thought about styles of sunglasses that way! What a great tip, thanks!
Hi Alyssa, I love your videos. Ihave a question regarding sunglasses: I wear prescription sunglasses and can be pricey. What do you suggest for acquiring a variety of sunglasses when one has to wear prescription which are changed out every two years. Grazie. Hugs. Cindy
My dilemma as well. With my prescription glasses run $700-800.
Hmmm this is a great q - can you wear contact lenses? I wear glasses but am able to keep a lot of my old sunnies by wearing them with contacts ... Another thought could be simply getting the lenses swapped out with your new Rx vs buying a whole new frame ... I'll come back to this if I have other thoughts it's a great q :)
@@AlyssaBeltempo Thank you bella. Unfortunately, contacts are not an option and for me, part of the fun of a new prescription is purchasing a new frame. Such is life . .. Enjoy your Sunday. hugs, Cindy
@@TheDriftwoodlover The glasses definitely make multiple pairs cost-prohibitive. Let's see what Alyssa comes up with. Happy Sunday! Cindy
If you are in the United States, check out Warby Parker. They do Rx sunglasses in a variety of styles at relatively reasonable prices. They have a smattering of physical shops, but really they live online and have a quiz to help you choose shapes and they give you an opportunity to try before you buy. (Maybe other countries have a similar vendor? I don’t know.)
I don't own any sunglasses as I don't believe in them but can see how they can accentuate a style. I have a lot of bags (most of which are vintage) but I get lazy changing them out and so end up with the same one all the time. Time to up my game.
Hi from NYC! What brand is your stunning rattan handbag? It looks thrifted and designer, and particularly great in your hand! Thanks in advance!
Hi there! It is vintage with no brand unfortunately! I've linked to a similar one in the description box:)

Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful looks and great ideas as always!
Could you please share what is the white button down shirt you wear when you talk about purses? Thank you 💓💓💓
Hi Elena! It is from Power of My People - it is the linen friend - proper fit style. I believe my discount code still works if you're interested: ALYSSABELTEMPO :)
Alyssa Beltempo thank you so much! 😃
Perfect and beautiful video 🇮🇹😘
Would you be willing to share which bras you wear? I have a similar shape and find it incredibly difficult to find undergarments that fit well.
All great ideas!
Thanks for watching Becky!
I love love my Alyssa necklace . Goes with with everything
Thank you so much for supporting i'm so glad you like it! xx
Grazie !!!
Di nulla bella! xx

Photos are a must
I have been experiencing a lot of problems lately when it comes to wearing earrings. It seems I have developed high sensitivity if not allergic reaction to gold. Do you have any advice on how to prevent that from happening? I'd really like to be able to enjoy my gold and pearl beauties. Thanks!
I have enjoyed you channel for quite some time. I watch for your styling tips and how to use things I already have as opposed to constantly buying new. Lately however, it seems as the climate here has changed, with every “tip” is an accompanying sales pitch... thank you for the wonderful videos of the past, I wish you much luck and success going forward, but it is time for me to move on to another slow fashion stylist.
Hi Joyce, thank you so much for sharing your feedback in a kind and encouraging way. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry of course, to see you go and understand you need to seek out content that works for you! :) Although none of the mentions today were sponsored, these days I've been getting more questions about brand recommendations so try to include them where I can, as well as highlighting brands that I want to support through this pandemic. Either way, your comment provides food for thought and I hope you are staying well and healthy. xx
Great video! I always love watching your videos!!
You nailed it succinctly, Alyssa. 🙂
Ahhh... Gio Engelbert is right next to Olivia Palermo as a true style icon for me! So glad to see her included in your vid. Great work as usual!
YES - those two are always on the top of my style inspo list! xx
What do you recommend if your waist is no longer slender? I used to have an hour glass shape, but as I age I no longer have that definition?
hmm is it still the smaller part of your body in comparison to chest and hips? I think if you still have the same proportions you can still rock a belt ... it's difficult to tell without seeing you in person ...
Such a lovely video, Alyssa! Thank you, bella! Well done as always...Beautiful ideas and examples - much appreciated. 🥰🌼💖 Did you enjoy a glorious Sunday weather in Ottawa today? Everyone was laying on every single patch of grass here in TO. Was lovely to see the city come alive....xoxo N
Hi Natalya! I'm so glad you liked it! :) We had beautiful weather today and yesterday - so glad you enjoyed it too in TO. Looks like we're back to winter this week though - haha - stay safe and well and have a wonderful week! xx
that rattan purse though!!!!!! glorious!! perfect for you and suits all those looks!! my hubby loved watching this one with me!!! he loved the camel/white/cream looks!!!!!! also, GOOD ON YOU for keeping your slim figure while quarantined!!! its inspiring!! 👍😁
Thank you! One of my favourite thrifted finds :) So glad you both enjoyed it thank you for watching! xx
Your hair looks extra lovely today! : )
Love the wicker bag, shown early on- can you share the brand?
Thank you! It's vintage - no brand unfortunately! I have linked to a similar one in the description :)
Yes, I still have a silk scarf from my nonna. Yes, real silk. No, doesn’t match my undertone at all. And Yes, I definitely will start wearing it as a belt or tied round a handbag’s handles. Thank you, Alyssa! 🤗
Amazing! So nice to hear you still have your nonna's scarf Liliana :) Thanks for watching! xx
What is the color of the pants in the minute 2:51?
Hi Alba, I would say it's a bright tan colour... Thank you for watching!
Is there a winter edition?
You are just so cute and so fun. I love your videos!
too kind thank you! xx
Love this vid!!! ♥️
The necklace: according to the website it is sold out! I wanted it as mother’s day gift. :(
Hi Vivette! I'm so sorry I didn't know it had sold out - that must have just happened! I thought it was such a thoughtful mothers day gift too which is why I mentioned it - I'm so sorry i'll find out if there are plans to bring it back into production.
Alyssa Beltempo yes, it is sold out and waiting list of more than 470 people. I checked it this morning.
