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. 

Yellow dress from Zara - Peter Pan collar (gold and black beads)  from Hotice

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.

Blanket from Butlers -  Lamp from IKEA

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 :)

An inspiring door .

HeyHey ! 

I know, it’s definitely been a while since when I last wrote here, but I have good reasons!I've been sick (and I still am); I have sore throat, cough, cold, headache…all the germs family was together, but temperature strangely didn't show up! I was also waiting for all my birthday presents + some orders I did on the internet (that were not here yet) so that I could make pictures and write blog posts about them. Although i didn't write here, i made those pictures :3

Since when I stayed home on Monday, I started watching movies and tv series nonstop. Now, the 5^th season of Gossip Girl I downloaded it’s over, I watched all the movies in my pc…so I decided to write down this blog post ! Finally ahah!

Several time, in other blog posts, I mentioned this bedroom’s door I have that I consider so special. I pasted there quotes, sentences and posters about things I like. There’s even a coke label with my name on it and a Sourcy Vitamin Water’s one in blackberry flavor. I love that drink, too bad we don’t have it in Italy. There’s just a bad IMITATION of it -.- .

It may or may not be interesting for you to read about this, I just wanted to show you this thing, It’s something creative I do and that I want to show you guys. Maybe one of my readers does the same thing, and I’d be glad to see some pictures of your creative spot in your bedrooms!

Here’s the picture of my door.

Basically what I do with those papers is to stick them behind the door. There I can see them every time I’m on my bed, when I’m studying at the desk and also when I sit on my pouf (I guess there’s no English translation for this one) to read and listen to music. To read them that often will probably make them part of my way of thinking, I hope.

Rereading them after a while makes me realize also what are the quotes that really should be important in my life and those that shouldn't. For example, the last time I wrote here, on this blog post, I was thinking about a quote from Janis Joplin’s song. I found myself disagreeing with that so I removed it.

Should I write a blog post about the quotes I remove or that I paste on my door? I think it may be interesting to think and write about them. If you comment below there may be also a confrontation, we could talk about it !  Have a nice week everyone, stay tuned for the next blog post, that hopefully will be in the weekend!

Such a nice Owl - Duolingo .

HeyHey

Today i want to write about an amazing app i discovered thanks to Beckie0 (check out her YouTube channel, so different and so special. Subscribe!). While i was reading one of her tweet i found out about Duolingo. Obviously i'm talking about the app but there's a website connected to it. What you do on this website is basically learn languages for free. There are not as many languages as on Livemocha (yes, i tried this one too trying to learn dutch ahah) but on Duolingo you can practice always and as much as you want. If you don't understand they explain you and starting from your language you'll be able to learn the basic element of a new language. At the moment i'm learning spanish from English (i couldn't find from italian on the app ahah) and i need to say that i find myself really motivated to keep learning. 

This is my profile, you can add me searching for Fede_RS 

If you want to learn French, English, Portuguese or Spanish, i higly recommend this app. I did not talk with this website at all, i'm not  publicizing anything, I just want to let you know that there are lots of way to learn languages and that you should never stop. 

This time i was really brief, wasn't I? Comment below telling me what are the languages you like the most and why! :) 

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!

Christmas presents .

HeyHey !

Well seems like the last time i wrote here was in 2013...so HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :D !

(I'm late also this time, i know ahah). I celebrated New Year's Eve in Rome with some friends of mine. Unfortunately for the fact we were staying there for few days in the apartment of my friend's brother (that was not that close to the center),  i prefered not to bring my camera, so the few pictures and videos i did during that night were made with my iPhone. Rome is 2h30minutes far by train/car from my city so i think i could go there another time to shopping and take pictures with all the calm of the world. The christmas holidays in general went really good, had some love-trubles  this week that made me feel a bit down but i'm recovering. Since when i went back to school i started doing lots of activities that includes running 3 afternoons every week, two acting class/lessons, scout, studying for school and drive license etc. I'm a busy woman, so i have no time to think about a missing boyfriend ;)

Sooo as i wrote on my last post i would like to show you some of the presents i got for Christmas this year to give you inspirations for future christmas or birthday presents. I did not received them on the 25th. Here in Italy we also do celebrate on the 8th of December (the Virgin Day) and on the 6th of January (The Befana or Epifany). Other countries do not have those two festivities. 

✦ Pair of socks from my mum. They're kinda high (just a bit above the knee) and they have a cute little bow  on the inside that looks like jeans material.

✦ I already had a pair of gloves for touch screen, i bought them at Primark last summer for one euro or something but they were not as hot inside as these are. I love them!

✦ My friend Sofia bought me these two products from Kiko. I already had a burgundy nailpolish from the same brand but since the fact i'm a clumbsy person i broke it, don't ask me how, i can't remember/explain. About the gold eyeliner, let's admit i can't go any further than mascara and eyeliner when it comes to eyes-makeup so this time i decided i was going for something a bit more particular that i could use during christmas time and also for an evening out to make it a bit more special ! You can fine both the products at the store.

Super colour eyeliner 101 (KIKO)
Nailpolish 286 (KIKO)

✦ I got an iPhone 5S !! NO, I'm kidding, it's a white chocolate one my mum bought us (my brother had one as well)! Let's face it, it looks kinda real also from the picture! 

✦ My dad bought for every member of  our family one of these bracelet. They all have the infinity symbol (in differente colours) and with the he paired different senteces, the best one for every person. In my case he said that i'll be always part of the family even when i'll work/live abroad. I find it really special.

Infinity bracelet by Cruciani

✦ One thing i'm always asking for is USB key, when it comes to give someone my pictures for a work, or to take school some files etc. I know it looks stupid as present (i needed one for the fact mine are all with few GB and i needed one with quite a lot of space) but you can always search for a particular shape of USB key, my brother got one that looks like a small Asterix (from Asterix and Obelix). Ships, Pigs, Bows, Cupcakes...a USB from the outside can look like a thousands different things.

✦ I wanted this book for so long. I love the previous two books Khaled Hosseini wrote and when i discovered that aanother one was published i couldn't wait to read it. I have the italian version so the original title would be ''And the Mountains Echoed''' . Right now i need to read some books for school but i'm sure that when i'll be free to read whatever i want to i'll be able to read it in a couple of days ! Can't wait! 

And the Mountains Echoed - Piemme

✦ Since when, in 2010, i visited the Beatles Museum in Liverpool during a study trip, I discovered my enourmous love for The Beatles ! Last year i received for Christmas an amazing book that describes their stories, showing pictures and old posters for events where they were invited to sing etc. The calendar that i always have in my bedroom since 2010 is from The Beatles, this is the one i got this year.

✦ This is nothing particular at all and it may seem awkward as well as presents. Since when i saw one of the latest video from Zoella i fell in love with a dress she has, the one with a white collar and a plaid print/tartan print all over it. When i discovered she got it at Primark, shop that we don't have over here in Italy, I kinda gave up on the ''tartan passion'' of the moment. To cheer me up my mum bought this set of breakfast placemats and with them she paired it with those cute napkins with a christmas fantasy on it. 

✦ I'm not that into jewels i guess but this bracelet i had it's really cute and the particularity of it is that it's completely made with recycled tin and, for this reason, it's so light! I can pare it with everything i want and i can even wear it at school because it's simple.

✦ Way before christmas i went to Yves Rocher to buy myself some products. Under the Christmas tree (just to have some other presents to unwrap) i ''found'' these two products you can find in the stores. This is the second time i buy the mattifying powder because when i bought it the first time...it was love at first sight. About the lip balm i can say it works really well and it smells delicious! 

✦ My cousing gave me this set of navy gloves and beanie. The particularity is on the shape of the gloves (they're knobs, if this is the right translation) and on the material. These are the softest gloves ever, they are made with fake blue fur. 

Set gloves and beanie - H&M✦ This is the best present i had this year! I wanted a pair of big headphones since this summer but i decided to wait untill christmas. I love this white pair sooo much! I've been looking for something like this for a long time, they were not that expensive as well and they looks like Cassie's ones in this picture from Skins Pure.

✦ I bought this shirt before christmas, so it should have been part of a 'Haul' blogpost but i didn't buy many itmes that time so i decided to include it here as Christmas present.I've been wearing this a lot, because i like how these two colours perfectly matches together, i can use with shirt on everything. 

Green and blue shirt - Pull & Bear

✦ This is, as well, something i bought before christmas. I needed a big over sized sweater with a light colour and i found this creamy one at H&M. It has, in the textures, some gold strings that gives it a particular look. I really like it! 

✦ At Pull and Bear i also burgundy blazer with a cream coloured cloth on the inside of the sleves that can be showed if you turn them on the end. I paired this blazer with black dresses for parties or also with jeans ans simple tshirts for an aperitifs with friends. It looks good on everyone and with everything. It makes me thinner than what i am because it's a bit longer than the average blazer, it perfectly hides my curvy hips. 

Basic burgundy blazer - Pull & Bear

✦ A friend of my mum, who now lives in Milan with her family, came over as every christmas holiday and she kindly brought me this spring t-shirt with half sleaves. I've never been in a good relation with striped clothes. Once i heard a woman saying ''Oh dear, if you are fat the stripes will make you look even larger than what you already are''. Since that day i've never bought something that even had the smallest stripe. But since the fact this t-shirt was a present, i decided i'll give it a chance when i'll lose enough weight.

I finally did this blogpost! January is almost over and it was going to be ridicoulous to write something about christmas in February.  Sorry i couldn't fine some products online but you know, they were presents and there was no price written on the tems. I hope you liked what i wrote, that i gave you some ideas for some presents. I'm planning on writing other interesting blogposts soon. 

Thank you for the 300 visualisations i reached yesterday! It seems like i'm not that bad at writing or entertain people.  I'm happy about this blog and i'll keep writing here. 

(Correct my mistakes pleasee)
