Turning 20 !

Good evening everyone !

After (almost) a month from my birthday I decided to write down a proper blog post on how I spent the 17th of February and what I've received as presents.

On Monday 16th I had an important exam. It went really well, so the following day was going to be really relaxing and perfect anyway! 

When I woke up I decided to take a bath, thing that I rarely do. For this special occasion I decided to use for the first time ever...a bath bomb. 

I've never really use one of them before and, in fact, I was so excited when I received one for Christmas. This one is called ''Granny takes a dip'', and it turns your water in dark pink, almost burgundy in my opinion. It smells delicious, a mix of ginger, pepper and lemon (as it says on the description of the product).

Than I decided to treat myself...again. Although I'm terrible when it comes to cook, I tried to make myself some pancakes, and they turned out pretty good. I honestly don't think that the recipe  I used was the original one, in fact I found it on GialloZafferano.com, an Italian cook website. If you have any suggestion, please comment below and let me know. 

The rest of the day I was busy doing different things, it was Tuesday after all.
I properly decided to celebrate my birthday on Thursday the 19th, inviting over in my country house few friends. It was a really pleasant evening ! I was wearing a simple plain blue dress (although in the pictures it seems purple), with long sleeves and that turned out to be a little bit too short for me, after taking it to the seamstress.

In order: Andrea, Giacomo, Federico, Davide, Gioele, Mario, Andrea, Giulio, AnnaMarta, Ilaria, Sara, Sofia, Valentina, Giorgia, Lucrezia, Chiara, Lorenza, Elia e Guido.

As I previously wrote, I'd like to show you the presents I received. I'm not doing this to show you what I've got and brag about these things, I'm only trying to give you some ideas if you'll want to make a gift to someone.
I have no idea about the prices because, as I sad, they were presents. I also apologize for the multiple location used to shoot the pictures, I took them in different days, whenever and wherever I could, so that's why.

Stockings and socks from Calzedonia. 

I'm obsessed with Adidas' classical model. I've been buying a pair of this since when I was 8, and luckily this year they released that old model I love, and I was so happy to finally find my number ! - Adidas Stan Smith

Bracelets from DonnaPiù

Plain basic grey and black tshirt - Fortini Sport 

Henri Cartier-Bresson - Clémént Chéroux (Contrasto Editore) - Grazie Leo :)

Lighters with letters on - Diddi was the surname I used to introduce myself when I was a child, because it seems like Federica was quite a long word for me to pronounce !

Hope you enjoyed this blog post, I wish you all an amazing week end!

Back from Gallipoli !

HeyHey

How are you guys doing? I hope everything's fine and that you're all enjoying summer as much as you can ! As I probably wrote on my last blog post, I say probably because I haven't been around for more than a week and I can't remember, I was on vacation in the south of Italy for 10 days with some friends.

We had a small but cute apartment in Baia Verde, the beach-party side of Gallipoli, an amazing city!
We had the average vacation you can expect from 7 people that are finally done with high school and exams! We partied almost every night, we went in discos, we danced on the beach...we had a great life!

Saying this I'm basically confessing that I didn't had my camera with me the whole time, I took picture with my iPhone and the ones I took with my Canon, that I'm going to post here, are from the ancient part of Gallipoli, the center of the city that is absolutely stunning and that we visited with calm during the last two days.
If you want to check the ''party picture'', I'll leave my friends' instagram accounts and mine below.

The kind of apartment where we stayed during the week

This little boy spent a couple of days at our place, and we called it Prajo (as the disco ''Praja'' where we often went)

Al little bit devastated and without make up

A typical dessert in Gallipoli, the Spumone

Typical bread, called Puccia. Inside you could add everything (I went for tomato, mozzarella, tuna and potatoes salad) 

What about your vacations this year? Would you ever consider Gallipoli as a place where to spend your holidays? :)
