C'est moi!
To start this weekend I'm posting this incredible advert for Miss Dior perfume. Isn't it adorable.? This is how I imagine Miss Independent in the Jo version. She's happy, free and carefree. And she loves sweets, pink and Paris. Me too.This weekend I may want to visit some monuments. There are some here which I haven't been able to see not because I'm not interested but because they're always closed (don't ask me for the reason!). This weekend though an important Italian Association FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) decided to open some of...

.. a day like these...
This week has been a very stressul one. It's all about work, time (never enough to do all the things you need to or want to do), tiredness (in order for me to feel good I need at least 8.5-9 h of sleep per night which is hardly ever doable), deadlines, classes, correction of homework, etc.... Plus this week one of my colleagues has come down with a flu and doesn't come to work and so we need to substitute her all this time... which means of course cancelling my private classes, postponing and then having to recuperate them etc...Then...

Let the Spring begin! : )
Today sth about fashion. I want to do some Spring shopping, have found so many wonderful things on the Net. Strangely enough, they're not only pink.... at least not all of them! They're turquoise and blue! I think these colours triumph this spring! A change has come?1) This lovely baby doll dress (Fredflare, $19,99)...2) ... that goes well with these cute shoes (Salvatore Ferragamo, $ 690,00, LuxLux)..3) ... and this sweet bracelet (Vivienne Westwood, €140, LuxLux)4) This nice skirt (Caterina, €120, LuxLux)5) This bag (Tod's, $1765,...

Wiosna!!! : )
That's the Polish word for "spring" : ) I'm soo elated the Spring has finally come! : ) Strangely enough, it doesn't look like Spring at all today. It's only 13 degrees here (last week the temperature reached even 20 degrees) and there isn't much sun.. Anyways, I'm happy. And here's one of the most sunny and spring-like images I have ever seen. That's the scrap of Anna Maria with Anna Maria in it. Anna Maria is one of my dearest friends from the secondary school. She's extremely talented and I've always believed she'll succeed. Here's...

Relax, Take it easy.
I'm sorry, I still haven't put the pics I promised. BUT the weekend is coming and I'm going to have some more free time. Speaking of which, my weekend starts today at 3.30 p.m. as just after work I'm meeting my friend for a coffee : ) Then I have one more private lesson at home (no worries, it's a piece of cake, this one) and then at 7.00 p.m. I'm meeting another friend on the Skype (she lives with her bf in Brussels now, and she's the one who got engaged last week). Thank God it's Friday. Seriousl...

Thoughts and plans
Yesterday there was my bf's Dad's birthday party. There was this delicious dinner (my bf's Mum is a wonderful cook), we had an antipasto (appetizer): a big tagliere of salumi e formaggi, and then this exquisite lasagne with vegetables.... and as a dessert... Tiramisù!!! Mmmmm everything was delicious... Then we handed in the presents. There were two books regarding some concepts of philosophy (my bf's Dad is a great "supporter" of Aristotle, he loves reading about the history of thought, he's very much into the philosophical and logical inquiry, etc), and some "graded reader" fiction books in English + CDs that I prepared...

Marriage, wedding, getting married...
Yesterday afternoon I received another invitation for a wedding. Yesterday evening I received an email from one of my best friends informing she got engaged last weekend... Wow. Wherever I turn, wherever I look or whatever conversation I hear, there's always uttered THAT word starting with an "M". I mean really. Ok, I am 27 and it's high time I started at least thinking about that. On the other hand, I live in Sicily where the average age of the couples who decide to get married is: 30-35 for women and 35-40 for men (no, I'm not kidding),...

Weekend = Work?
That's how I'd like to start my weekend tomorrow with my bf... Two relaxing days during which you can do absolutely nothing unpleasant or tiring. Days during which you can boost up your energy and prepare for the following week. Unfortunately the more we have, the more we want and so I'll start my weekend working and studying (I finally decided to take my final exam on April 17)... Hopefully Sunday we'll be THAT real weekend day... I cannot wait. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! J...

Money, money, money...
Today I have spent 3.694 euros. (Un)Fortunately it's not my money. I'm trying to imagine what I could buy or how to spend this sum of money if it was mine... Crazyyyy shopping in Milan? One romantic week in a de-luxe suite in London or Paris? 2 pure breed golden retriever puppies with pink and blue ribbons? I could go on and on... : ) Like to day dreaming at times especially when listening to songs like this one. Have a good evening, I'm going to prepare dinner for my Love......

Mamma mia, che bella!
Yesterday it was a really tough day for me. I got my brand new Smart scratched. Just a little bit on the corner. There was this stupid, irresponsible 20 sth year old guy convinced that I should give way to those one coming from the left... Yes, in England I thought. Anyway, having a bf who is a lawyer obviously helps a lot : ) But take a look what I found on the Net today... It's sooo sweet. Fiat is an extremely important make of car here. The new Fiat 500 is really cute. But this one?! Thais is a special model created (together with...

Etna!
I'm a big fan of skiing. I have started to practise this sport when I was like 4 or 5 years old. Then kept on going on my winter holidays every year, first with my parents, then with my friends and bfs. It may seem amazing but none of my previous bfs knew how to ski and they never really wanted to learn.. Horrible, since my love for skiing was too big to quit it and we usually spend the winter holidays separately... Then I came here and it really seemed that I closed this chapter of my life definitely. Everyone was saying: "Yeah, you...

A dream
One of these nights I had a wonderful dream... It was about a dog. I never really said that before but I always wanted to have a dog. First, my parents claimed that I was too busy with school and after-school activities (music, language classes, sport, etc.). then I started my studies + some part time tutoring and so I was never at home. Now, even though I have a terrace and I still love dogs, I can't let this poor creature stay alone 8 hours a day without any company... So now I'm waiting to have a big house with a garden where I could...

Weekend
It's already Tuesday today and I didn't have any time during the weekend to blog... Grr... It's hard to keep the pace... Anyway this weekend I went to a party. It wasn't just a party but a party after the graduation from the university of one of my bf's friends. Graduation is a very big thing in Italy, especially that in comparison with an ordinary European student, it takes the Italians approx. 2-4 more years to graduate... Yes, this is incredible... Instead of devoting 3-5 years to studies and then pass all the exams, forget about all this crap, and start a successful career, they usually put down roots fat the universities...

- Difficult to describe me really. Definitely I am very complicated and ambitious... an aesthete.. sometimes a complainer. Neverhteless I would like to become Miss Independent. But no big words like sacrifice, dedication, devotion, etc... After all, I am a normal working girl who likes to go out, do shopping and having fun with her friends.
