My Friday "phrase of the day" - well-behaved women rarely make history. Well, it doesn't mean that I set my "Dr Jekyll vs. Mr Hyde " darker side off the leash every Friday but it's definitely the day when I let myself sleep a couple minutes more, daydream at the office just for a minute or two (shh...), and no workout today (banzai!).

My Friday treats. A cheesy bacon and potato omelette and French toasts with peanut butter (who said it's just for kids). A treat for my mind and soul – a book on architecture I never had time to start reading: The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard.

My Friday look. It's a bolder look. And it usually takes less time to come up with something more daring than all smooth and simple. Hmm ... is everyone like this or it's just me? I won't wear any career killers but some of my choices for Friday are a no-no for Monday. Today it's a bit softer look but more appealing and flirtatious than usual, a lovely look not only for a Roman goddess but for a down-to-earth girl like me . A mocha off the shoulder dress with chunky, romantic antique jewellery. Kind of a sneak peek for my colleagues and friends at upcoming attractions for this Friday night.

My Friday song. See-Line Woman (also Sea Lion Woman) - a cover of a traditional American folk song by Nina Simone, or a more recent cover by Feist. Love its rhythm. It sets the right pace for the whole day and night, and makes me want to use my feminine charms, at least to give it a try:

Have a great weekend, everyone. Amo venerdi!

*The word for Friday in Italian venerdì is derived from Latin dies Veneris - "day of Venus".
