Spring haul .

HeyHey

How's the weather where you live? Because I'm Italian, and this country is known for the amazing weather...BUT not this year ! It rained constantly in the past two day, and since the fact it's supposed to be spring, this bad weather annoys me a lot !
Anyway, as I wrote at the end of my latest blog post, I still have some items I bought in the past month that I haven't showed you ! So...let's get started, shall we?

Clothes

◆ I'm starting with my favourite clothing piece at the moment, that is this super cute chiffon blouse in white, with a lace collar! How cute is that? I literally am obsessed with it !

Chiffon white blouse with lace collar - Privilege

◆ It doesn't look as good as it is live, but this sweatshirt it's amazing. It's longer on the back, it has this eiderdown seam on the floral print...it just includes several different details I like to have in a sweatshirt !

Jeans - Zara basic

◆ This is the other clothing piece I've been using non-stop since when I bought it in Prague. I like the color of it, the fact it has a detailed collar, and...it's a shirt so, I already loved it !

Peachy chiffon shirt with peachy details on the collar - New Yorker

◆ It doesn't really look good on me, because I have a large hips and a narrow waist, so when I wear it I look like a meringue. But I loved the material and, I have to admit, that the quality it's awesome!

(Sorry for the bad lighting but the sun was going crazy!)
Pleated high waist velvet black skirt - Oasap.com  

◆ They didn't cost much, and they look kinda bad in this picture, but I saw this same pare of short sweatpants in one of my favorite youtuber's video and I decided to get them, also because they really costed few euros !

Grey sweat-shorts - Store in Prague

◆ I rarely buy striped clothes, but this little navy and white striped tshirt i found at Bershka in Prague was absolutely perfect to pair with everything!

Beauty

◆ As you may know, I'm obsessed with this brand of mat lipsticks. I own 5 of them and I just can't get enough for how awesome they are! This color is a strong pink, not too bright because the mat effect reduces the brightness. 

Atomic red 19 mat lipstick - Deborah 

◆ When it comes to remove my make up, as first step I use this soap that it's just amazing! I rarely have to use more than one make-up remover wipe. And it also smells delicious !

Cleanser make up remover with rosehip from Chile - Bottega Verde

◆ As everyday perfume I used to have this particular fragrance, and I recently rediscovered it ! It smells really nice.

Aromatic myrrh perfume - Tesori D'Oriente

◆ Always from Bottega Verde, I used to have, for the winter time, this moisturizing cream that had honey extract or this one, with olive oil essence. For spring time I decided to go for something more ''refreshing'' so I picked up this flower moisturizing cream that it's really light and it's a good product.

Moisturizing cream for normal skin, flowers essence - Bottega Verde

Accessories 

◆You've already seen these sunglasses on Instagram or on the previous look book. I really am happy that I finally found a mirrored sunglasses in a nice shape that looks good on me! There are no plants drown on the lens, it's just the reflection of an fir in my garden.

Mirrored Sunglasses in Blue - New Yorker

◆ And last, but not least, this blue ring I bought at Pimkie when I was in Prague. I usually have troubles in finding the right 'ring size' for my fingers, but this one was an easy one, even to pick. I like the color of it and the shape as well !

Blue Victorian Ring - Pimkie

I hope you liked this blog post, as always. Sorry for the lack of links for some items, but several shops in which I bought these stuff don't really have a website where to buy the items. 

I wish you all a great weekend :)

Goodbye winter .

HeyHey

I got news ! Tomorrow, so on Monday morning, I will leave for my last school trip..yeeaah! 

As some of you may know, travelling is my biggest passion, with languages and photography. 

I literally couldn't wait to leave, these past two weeks were extremely tough because of thousands of testes and other situations that stressed me out. 

We are going to visit and stay for two days in Budapest and for the rest of the week we'll go in Prague. I've already been in Prague with my family, I guess it was 4 years ago, but I'm super excited to go there and visit all over again every spot of the city, because I really enjoyed it the last time I went. And let's face it: travels and holidays with parents are nice, but with friends and classmates they are even better.

I actually don't have here with me the paper with the excursion program, but when i'll be back i'll write everything about my school trip abroad. 

Since the fact I don't have anything else to say about this in this blog post, I want to properly say goodbye to the cold season, posting a couple of pictures I did on those two days when we had snow here.

(Canon 1000D - basic lens 18-55mm)

 I did this from my bedroom, it was an amazing view! Of course I spent the whole afternoon in the garden taking thousands of pictures, but here i'm going to post just this one, because for me it's so...cozy! My blog already has a ''spring theme'' because this is my favorite season. I don't like shorts and bikinis, and that's why i always had a bad relation with the summer time, and, on the other side, I don't like winter that much, although, I have to admit, I'll miss hot chocolate and tea, my big hot duvet and snow.

I'm glad to see that there are more of you reading what i write, i hope i'll have a proper feedback in the comment below as well ! Have a nice week ! 

The headphones' world .

HeyHey

I'm writing this blog post really quickly, because I should go upstairs and study English for the literature test I'll have tomorrow and for philosophy oral test.
Lately the only one thing that I can do for hours and hours...is listening to music. On Christmas, as you probably read in this blog post, I got this big white pair of headphones, that i really wanted because I saw something like this on Cassie in Skins Pure: if you don't know who she is or what i'm talking about...you better start watching Skins, you don't know what you're losing! It's one of my favorite tv series ever!
In any case, the fact that I can isolate myself so often, helps me relax. I've been spending many afternoons and evenings alone at home, in some cases because i had to study, in others because i was tired. I always find myself that little spot in my daily life in which i can reflect on several things; why did i give dieting? should I save money for a better DSLR Camera that can make video as well? Should i restart working out? When am i going to finally take my drive license?...these are just some of the things that i need to figure out in my life, I don't want to write a whole page about them of course.

When I have my headphones on I can think about my problems and, at the same time, I can escape from them, some ways. Not quite sure why I need this so bad, I just know what to sit and think about these things it's basically one of those things i can't give up doing. 

The song you can listen to in the video at the beginning of the post is my favourite song at the moment, it's the only one that can give my mind that little push it needs to start ''sailing''

What do you do when it comes to your personal space for thinking ?

Turning 19 .

HeyHey

On February the 17th was my birthday! Yes, although you're almost one month late, you can also wish me happy bday commenting below, I don't mind about the timing, i appreciate the wishes (i'm joking! ahah). So i turned 19 on a Monday, and since the fact that Monday is the worst day to party, i decided to have a small aperitif-dinner with some friends at my place on Sunday evening. We had something to drink, as white wine, aperol etc. I felt so sophisticated and rich: i'm not both but on my birthday i felt like i could act as if was. It may sounds stupid but after the 4th season of Gossip Girl...you need to feel in that way ahah. After that we had a proper dinner with rice and meat, served as in a buffet. I had fun during the whole evening and we waited all together until midnight, you know, just to give sense to the evening (it was not my birthday for the whole time ahah) and after the cake and the presents almost everyone left because the day after was Monday, hated Monday. 

I unfortunately don't have any picture of the evening, I don't really know why. I have a picture of the dress i wore, here it is. It was my mum's present, since the fact that as dress it not that cheap! The shape of it it's amazing and also the yellow was not that bright, kinda mustard, loved it. Sorry for the water-closet in the background but i realized I didn't have a picture of my outfit until when i decided to go to bed so I used the first mirror i found, unfortunately was the toilet's one.

The main birthday present i got was this Canon lens, the 50mm. I wanted it for so long. It's not the best one in terms of value for money, but it was until one or two years ago. It's not expensive in fact and let me show you guys some pictures i did with it. Also the other pictures i did for this blogpost are made with the same lens that, i think, i won't be able to remove anymore! I'll use it constantly, it's amazingly good.

Few days ago my grandparents came over and they brought me their presents (in collaboration with my other relatives). I'm not the kind of person that often wears belts and particular scarfs, I often chose average, monochrome ones, but i'll try to wear both the presents i got.

I wear this belt on an average grey sweatshirt from ThinkPink with a brown leather jacket on. 

This green scarfs with black chihuahua printed on it it's from REACT. I find the metal box really cute :3

I liked my presents, maybe some of them are still on their way. Some friends of mine, in fact, live in other city so when i'll receive something i'll update this blogpost, or maybe i will  just re-write a new one, as an haul post...we will see.

Hope you liked this blogpost with a new quality for photography ! Have a nice weekend everyone :)

Recycled sweaters .

HeyHey !

What's up guys? tell me everything you want, even the most stupid thing in the world...but comment below please! I reached those 300 visualisations last week (that already grown to 334 *.*) BUT i feel like i want to hear your real opinion on what i write. I suck at school when it comes to write compositions (even in italian), i hope this aversion fro writing doesn't reflect in my blog posts as well, get it? (a bit complicated to explain in my own words).

So yesterday i was looking for high-waisted skirts and shits on website as Romwe and Sheinside. Basically I noticed that the biggest part of the sales are on the so called ''over sized sweaters''. To be honest with you guys, i find nothing interesting in the sweathers/jumpers they sell, often they're particularity is just the fact they look bigger on our bodies, there's no peculiarity in colours, fantasies, patterns * I'm talking about average jumpers as this one, not about sweatshirts *

Looking at those clothes i realised that i could have the same effect with on of my dad's old jumper. Of course they look oversize on me, they're quality is really good and i don't have to spend money!

These are the sweaters I personally LOVE at the moment. They have nothing special, except for the fact they're basic and big :)

I did this collage using Picasa...it was hard, believe me!

Since the fact that these jampers are my dad's and that he is 54...I don't think you can find these same sweaters but the poin is that you should try and ask you dad, uncle or even your mum if you're smaller than her (my mum is 1,60 and i'm 1,70...my shoes number is 39, she has the 37...we exchange basically nothing -.-). 

These are some of the jumpers i picked up, others i don't use are really beautiful but they look enourmous on me, and in that way i look ridiculous! I like all of them; the first one has a pattern similar to the ''nordic'' and ''christmassy'' ones that are in vogue at the moment, the blue one is perfect with shirts under it and the last one i like how simple it is with those two white lines. They all look great with leggings. I usually pair the first with (false) black Dr. Martens, the second with my (false) Timberland boots and the third one with brown UGGs.

The brand of the blue sweaters should be Conte of Florence and the beige one is from Henry Lloyd.

I hope you'll soon go steal something on your dad's closet! If you find something you can modify as well i suggest you to watch this quick DIY done by one of my favourite Youtuber, CutiePieMarzia (she is italian as well! : D)! Comment below, even correcting my grammar mistakes (I'm absolutely sure i made some, so you've work to do ahah). Thanks for reading!

Photo contests .

HeyHey!

How are you? I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I know i'm late but i wish you MERRY CHRISTMAS in any case :) I think i will write a post showing you some presents my friends and family gave me this year, so maybe i can give you some ideas for future gifts (Christmas and bday ones).

But today what i want to do is to show you two pictures I made to take part and ofc try to win two different photo contests.

● The first contest i took part was organized by Assicity, an association composed by young people from my city who try to create events such as christmas markets in the main square, parties during the whole year, Halloween included, or summer games. Everyone likes these events because my city is small, medieval and mainly famous because of St.Francis, churches and other religious things. To keep the tourism alive no one really thinks about the young people who lives in here, there are no special occasions for us to meet and party.

In any case, this association, to finance other events, this year decided to print a calendar that was going to have 12 different pictures, one for each month. To find original photos they decided to organize this contest, where the main theme was 'Red'.

This is the picture i sent to take part in the competition.

Made with Canon1000D, edited by a friend of mine with a program i don't know
but that is better than mine for sure ahah

The pictures were not judged by photographers or by the members of the association but they were uploaded on Facebook on Assicity's page (without the names of the authors) and they were voted by all the people who were fan of the profile. Mine was one of the first 12, so it was selected to represent November on the calendar that are available since Friday 27th till Sunday 29th.

The pictures i sent had worse colors than the ones i posted up there but was really similar; i decided to upload here the one that a friend of mine edited to make it more lightfull, and i find it really nice in this way.

● The second contest i took part was organized by my school. On the last day before christmas holiday, the 21st of December, this contest was over and the people who won the writing contest (with poetries and stuff), the drawing contest and the photography one, received a little award that was a small present (a frame i guess).

I unluckily didn't win, but i'll show you below the pictures i did for the theme ''Violence against women''

Canon 1000D

To make this picture as i was creating it in my mind, i organized my own photo set at home and, as model, i chose my cousin Lorenza (you can find her on Twitter). If you are wondering... the hand is my brother's ahah just saying !

To be completely honest with you guys, i didnt really like these two pictures. I'm sure i've done better ones, also for other contests. I personally like street photography, i like to capture the moment and the geometrical shapes around me. When it came to build my own pictures, i really didnt know what to expect, i mean both the pictures are not natural and i was not sure if send them or not. I did and i'm glad i did in any case (either i win or lose) ahah

Write what you think about the pictures in the comment below, i'll be glad to hear your opinion of them :) have a nice day everyone!
