new shoes - 19.90€

(h&m - 19.90€)

ENG

It all comes from an intellectual me, who wants to go visiting the Pinacoteca of Brera, hoping for a free entrance passing me off as an Architecture student - after all the major you attend is not written on the Politecnico pass. Well, it seems that at the ticket office of Brera a lot of students of the Poli have been seen, and they knew I would have been both an engineer (???) and a designer. And when they asked me to prove I'm attending Architecture, I had to slip away, just not to pay 3€ for the ticket (that I didn't even have). Sad and depressed, I decided  that the only way to take comfort was to go shopping. Accidentally, I bumped into these shoes by H&M: it was two years they were on its website, but I've never been able to find them in stores. Morale: to not spend 3€ for the ticket, I spent 20€ for a pair of shoes :D Anyway I'm satisfied... I think they're a great alternative to the more famous Jeffrey Campbell or to Superga, and maybe I rather like them a little more (pure belief), even though they'll last a little less (above all on my feet...).

when I grow up I want to be: ELEONORA CARISI

ENG

What are fashion, style, and class for me? On one hand they're a lot of bullshits created by magazines/expensive brands/people with a lot of money, on the other hand they're people like Eleonora Carisi, who surely has a lot of money but she found how to use it not to be expected nor ridiculous in any way (in reverse to other “fashion icons” who crowd the streets during fashion week).

When i'll be able to achieve the all-Italian elegance of this marvellous girl, please apprise me. My life will have sense. 

50 shades of yellow

ENG

In the end yesterday I went accidentally to Zara. While I was directed to the latest sales – cleverly put at the rear of the store – I wasn’t able to avoid looking at the new collection. It’s more than clear that the colour chosen for this spring is every inch yellow. From canary yellow to lemon, with shades of mustard. Better if matches with some shades of blue. So today I fell back on the stands of a flea market and… I found a pastel yellow sweater for 50 cents! When they say fashion returns… I’m ready for spring.

un mese per me

Exams finished! No idea on their results – obviously – but knowing I’ll can dedicate next month only to myself and to my thousand projects I have in mind (how many of them will I realize?) it’s enough, and this makes me enthusiastic. The weather is clearly against me and I suspect rain will have the best on my trusted weekend markets, which I haven’t been able to visit for so long. The fact is that I’m completely without money, but with an uncontrollable need (hahah) of new clothes. I think time and will to go through will finally help me fixing those items I bought with great (too much) confidence for few money in a vague (and useless) hope to tighten/shorten/modify them with my new super beautiful sewing machine. Will I be able to do it? We will see on the next days. In the meantime I’ll delight my first night of pure and cheerful freedom, and I’ll delete all alarm clocks from my phone.

To tell the truth, I am always me, so I already have a great list of all the things I have to do these days, among which going to the Sunday morning market at Navigli (if the weather allows me to). Visiting the tourist Milan, aboveall by walk, without destination and swiftness (that is the same as swearing, in Milan). Visiting the Pinacoteca of Brera: I’ve often been to the stationary shop ahead, but I’ve never entered the museum (scandal!). Reading at least two books from the beginning to the end – the first one will be for sure “The Master and Margarita”. Going to the gym for at least more than an hour a day, and in the moment my subscription will expire beginning again to go running seriously. Seriously. Seriously, it will never happen seriously. Making the very last round in the shops with sales up to 70%, hoping for the “stroke of luck of the season”, for that piece found for very few money in which nobody saw its potential, snobbed up to your arrival, and the reason you will be proud of until next season. To finally relax yourself the entire afternoon at the park, better if it’s a sunny day, thank you. Sewing something for me, from the beginning to the end and without excuses. Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, and sleeping until you feel bad, and having breakfast in bed.

fast lunch for 50cent

ENG

That moment, during your exams in which you don't even have time or money to cook yourself a real meal. Instant noodles come to save you. 1 minute microwave to boil 200ml of water and 3 minutes to make them absorb it and..lunch served.

I'm in love with these ones from Tiger, just 50cent per pack. I like to eat them with chopsticks to feel that exotic taste.

Aquel momento, durante tus examines, en el cual no tienes tiempo ni dinero para cocinar una verdadera comida. Noodles instantáneos llegan para salvarte. Un minuto en horno de microndas para hervir 200ml de agua y 3 minutos para que la absorban y... Comida servida.
