LIFETIME

Just got home and I had to quickly write about this girl, Darlene. Today I spent the whole day with her trying to make up for all the dates we couldn't go on with each other. We usually meet on weekends and that's quite often if you think about it, but in my mind I feel like I took her time for granted and now, she's leaving to Davao, Philippines in two days time. Only couple of minutes ago I bid farewell to her and I burst out crying. I've only met her in the beginning of 2015 but I can safely say that she is one of the most genuine, kind, lovely and inspiring people I've ever known. We didn't have much time to chit chat or hang out during her stay here because of work and school but with all the hugs and cuddles we shared, she knows she holds a special place in my heart. Earlier, she handed me a short letter before separating, all I can say is that I'll miss her more than I could have imagined. 

God bless you Darl. I'll miss you

The most modern neighbourhood in Milan would definitely be Porta Nuova or better known as Garibaldi. It's an area where offices, shops, little cafès and few skyscrapers can be found (even one that resembles the Burj Khalifa). The color of this area is mostly grey due to it's modern buildings, but it's surprising to know that right in this area, there's also the "Bosco verticale" that adds a big touch of green at the surrounding! Garibaldi has definitely become one of my favorite places to just relax and sit around chatting with friends while enjoying a cup of tea; and the last time I visited, it happened to match my monochrome outfit!

Last night the time officially changed and I'm now writing at 3.55 pm when it's supposed to be 2:55. Lack of sleep and one hour less in the day are not doing me good for this weekend. The sun outside though, it's making me want to eat a Vanilla Cookie ice cream! Gotta go!

Today I'm bringing the reknown "instagram throwback" to Larosamarie to share a shoot we did few months back. 

It's so amazing to see how many changes happen in a matter of few weeks, the style, the hairstyle, how the day pass by and the emotions you feel. Changes are good but it makes me realise how time goes by so quickly that sometimes we can't fully acknowledge and appreciate what's going on in our lives yet. We wake up every morning and suddenly is bedtime again. I wish time could slow down sometimes...

DENIM 3.0

Spring is finally approaching as the weather has been quite good to us citizen of Milan. The breeze is nicely cool and the sun is keeping us warm enough. I absolutely love the winter season and wearing big, long coats and bundling up with scarves and beanies but I have to be honest, it feels nice to finally ditch those big coats and finally wear something light and layer thinner clothes. Denim is definitely the fabric to go for this nice mild temperatures. 

I brought my outfit up to the next level by not wearing only denim jacket and pants, but also carrying this recycled denim bag pack which is one of the "challenging" pieces for my uni's project (click here to know what I'm talking about). Who say you can't wear three denim pieces all at once?

As you guys may or may not know, I am a Communication student who has always loved doing creative things such as sketching, styling clothes, making collages, making scrap books and so on.

By majoring in communication, it never crossed my mind that I could do something creative during my years in uni. Sometimes I wonder what if I just applied for a fashion / design university: I guess I'd have huge eye bags for not sleeping enough, but I'd get to play with a bunch of materials, let ideas become real and create something! Of course, these are all dreams / regrets that I have in my mind but finally I got to do something interesting this time! For a class I got to create an actual blog and post content of my own. Me and colleagues opted for a fashion blog, where we would style challenging pieces. I had to style a purple, blue and turquoise rucksack. It isn't anything crazy but considering it wasn't really my style it was a bit challenging putting a satisfying outfit (from my perspective) together, but I did it and here are the results!

I have to be honest. Back in the days, I used to be the girl who would bring EVERYTHING in her purse. In fact I would hate small purses where I couldn't even fit my wallet. I felt the need to bring products that I might need just in case something will happen: hand cream, hand sanitiser, perfume, the whole make up bag, comb... I can go on and on. Now I'm all about the crossbody bag and the clutches. The less I bring, the better.

I guess that my bring-everything-compulsive-disorder is due to the fact that I wasn't confident enough with myself. I'm still not confident enough, but I'm slowly working on it. Why was it connected to my confidence, you might ask. I just thought that the 'more' things I brought to 'take care' of my self, better and prettier I'd feel. It was the opposite. Throughout the day I'd pile on more make up, powder, mascara, lipstick, but the more I put on, the less pretty I'd feel. Often it'll be the opposite: I would bring my whole make up bag and never touched up, 'cause I thought, if someone's really pretty then she doesn't need to touch up nor to put on make up. TEENAGERS PROBLEMS. Always obsessed about looks. During my teenage years, I remember that at one point I wished to be shorter, skinnier, I hated my lips, nose, eyes, skin; basically I wanted to change everything. But that's because during our early teens, our body changes as well as our facial features. It is the time where we go from kids to young adults, physically and mentally. That is why. Thank goodness maturity, realisation and acceptance comes quickly afterwards. We see ourselves all the time, that's why we get sick of ourselves. That's when clothes-fashion and make up-beauty come in. We need those to polish our selves and give us that little push we need to help accept us.
