As I was thinking (procrastinating) today, I was trying to understand hate. I honestly don’t. I’m not going to go all white knight and pretend I love everyone and everything because hell I don’t! There are people that drive me mad only by opening their mouth, but that doesn’t mean I’ve ever wished something bad happened to them or hurt them deliberately, it’s such a childish thing to do. When you dislike someone I find the best thing to do is avoid them. At all costs. It’s so much better than filling your head with negative thoughts that at one point start consuming you. Also trying to understand that person or find something that you like about them helps, but it’s a little harder and to be honest it hasn’t worked too many times for me.
Now that I think about it, I don’t see the point of negativity at all, being it aimed at yourself or others. It would be so much easier for everyone if there would be less fake smiles and hatred and rivalry but the world we live in is, sadly, way beyond ridding itself of those.
I’ve got a lot on my mind right now and sadly can’t write up a proper post. Thoughts are mingling in my head, I’m anxious and happy and stressed out and tired all in the same time, it’s safe to say my mind’s a mess. I promise I’ll wrap up something good soon, after I finish with my finals! Are you stressed out by school too? :) Continue reading →

Hello, saylor!

|

I had such a lovely day today, even though I’ve been on the run and still am, barely had 15 minutes to edit the photos and write something up. It’s been so sunny and the air was filled with the scent of blooming chestnuts. A gush of wind and it was raining tiny white and pink petals. Too bad most of them are so tall, I’d love to be able to climb in one and read or just laze around in the shadow, surrounded by all the pretty flowers…
People have been so nice today, too (well, most of them, the amount of dumb comments, obscene yelling and whistles when I ride my bike is infinite). At school when I was in the bathroom, doing my lipstick, a little girl came to wash her hands, then she stopped, stared at me in awe and said “Woow, you are so beautiful”. I melted. Then a cashier told me I look like snow white and I burst out giggling like an idiot. Compliments from strangers are real day brightners.

Easter Blues

|

I’ve never been a big fan of religious holidays because we always got invaded by all kind of guests or we had to visit them and yaddla yaddla. I always felt awkward during those social gatherings (still do), but since my parents divorced we usually spend them only with the family so it’s a lot more intimate and there’s no “I have to make a good impression and not embarrass my parents” pressure, which is good. My family already knows what a crazy spazz I am so…
In September I felt like an eternity of never ending torture and boredom begun because of the school start and now I can’t believe there’s only one more month left (June doesn’t count). As the cliche goes, time flies. I’m shaking with excitement as I’m thinking about what this summer has in store. Do you have plans for this summer?

Bang bang, my baby shot me down

|

My face is melting off as you’re reading this, scratch that, my whole skin is crawling off my bones from the heat. I actually had to move in the bathtub while editing the photos because of the heat. Here’s a little colder, but still.
The shirt I’m wearing is the second one I’ve received from the lovely Choies. As I said in my previous post (about them) they’ve been super friendly and professional, my package came in almost less than 24 hours from receiving my shipping confirmation. The fabric is sheer and soft, perfect for hot summer days even though it’s long sleeved. I can’t wait to combine it with a really colorful skirt, you can play around so much with contrasts with this one :) Do check it out here.

Sweet Spot

|

I’ve always had a thing for embarrassing myself, for as long as I can remember. Now that it’s finally warmer and sunnier there are more and more people on the streets, so much so that I’m considering going with my bike on the street instead of the pedestrian walks due to the non-existent bike lanes in my city, but I’m saving that rant for sometime else. My point is that the more people are around to see me fuck up, the more plain humiliating my fuck up gets. Yesterday, when I wore this outfit, was a brilliant, sunny day, the type of day in which everyone goes out for walks. I was out myself, to meet with a friend and have a stroll in the local Botanical Garden and I was in a hurry when I noticed two gorgeous guys approaching. They were both staring at me (everybody was, I guess the bow was a little too much) and as they passed me by, they smiled. I smiled back, cockily even. Then I slipped, I twisted my ankle and threw myself against the building on my left so as not to fall on my hands and knees before the guys. In that moment I just closed my eyes waited for them to pass me so I could lay down on the ground and wait for it to swallow it together with my shame. My cheeks are burning from embarrassment as I’m typing and I wish I could hide under the blanked and avoid coming out for a while.
Ok, I might be exaggerating a little bit, I mean, there are way worse stuff happening in this world, I know, I know, but I feel terrible about it. Hopefully my fuck up will make you feel better about anything embarrassing you’ve been through today :)

Spring Princess

|

Today was one of those days when everything went wrong, but then I got a pack from Ax Paris and honestly nothing bad mattered anymore (ok, my blisters are still bleeding and I can’t walk properly, but still). I wanted a simple, white dress for spring and summer that could both be worn for a stroll in the park and with the proper accessories to something more formal. To be honest I didn’t imagine I’d find something like that, but here it is! Honestly, the pictures on the site don’t do it justice, I was so happy to find out it’s so much fluffier and the lace details are much more obvious live. Even mom said it’s one of the most gorgeous dresses she’s ever seen and she’s super picky.

Blue Öyster Cult

Lately I got hooked up on Supernatural. It might seem natural to someone who doesn’t really know me yet for the ones who know how much of a pussy I am, it might be strange. I actually wanted to start watching it for a long time, but I’m afraid of the darkness, of heights, of small spaces, of spiders and I could go on and on and on. Continue reading →

Over the hills and far away

There are nights when I sit here and watch the empty draft wondering what to write about. Sometimes I feel like writing my thoughts and opinions about hundreds of issues but then I remind myself that I’m not confident enough to do that. It’s not that I care that much about people judging me, or what they think about me, it’s more the fact that I’m not comfortable with sharing my thoughts with only god knows how many people. Life (even though I’m still pretty much a kid) taught me that people will always use your words against you and judge you to their liking without trying to get to know the real you. I got used to keeping most of my thoughts to myself and my closest friends simply because I came to the conclusion that my profound side is only for the ones who show that they want to see it. Even so, I might come off as vain and shallow by talking only about clothes r the weather or sharing tiny details from my daily life, I guess you can never please everyone, can you?

Prim & proper: Valentino RTW Fall 2013

|

Let’s be honest, wasting time on the internet has become, sadly, one of pastime or procrastinating activities. Especially at night when you don’t feel like sleeping nor doing anything else, so you keep on scrolling (I remember seeing a picture once on which wrote “I wonder how many kilometers I scrolled”). One of my favourite ways or wasting my time on the internet is looking at pretty things I know I (most likely) will never have. Usually I end up drooling over haute couture collections or eerie sceneries or delicious sweets. One of my greatest finds these days while avidly browsing for inspiration was Valentino’s ready to wear collection for this fall. I know, I know it’s a little bit early, for some of us it isn’t even spring yet but I couldn’t help myself.
The collection made me think of a fairytale in which a nun shape shifts into a princess (I have a weird imagination, I know). I haven’t been that far off the hook, though. Piccioli declared that the designers had been looking at the “calm and serene portraits of women”, paintings by Vermeer in particular, “We wanted to catch the same spirit of private sensuality,” he explained, “something very spiritual and poetic—women as new Madonnas.”
