I'm DIYed and I'm back

 (that's not an artistic photo, it'ts just that my face was a total mess, believe me.)


Ok so I already know that I passed my exam, but now I'm waiting for the results...finger crossed!



The things I know for sure is that I had a lot of free time and lots of parties. Hell yeah, I needed it so much.
But I'm thinking about my future, too, because now that I have finished school I want to find out wich university suits me best... and I dreamed about studying at Polimoda in Florence since I was a child, but that's really expensive. We'll see.

More free time = more DIYs.
So, since I spotted some beautiful feather earrings everywhere but I couldn't really find a pair in store, I made them!
I used some super-fake black feathers (no innocent chickens involved!), a little chain and a empty earring base that you can find in any craft store or similar.

 It's very simple, 'cos I thought it was already something quite big and important itself, so I didn't want to let it become "too much".
Maybe you can see it better down here:

Ok I wasn't inspired by Gwyneth, or Vanessa Hudgens

but by this girl right here, the queen of all the feather earrings, the one that maybe made people talk about them, the beautiful and creative Romi from the Showtime series "The Real L Word":

One day I'll create an earring even bigger than hers!

Have a nice week!

Off for a while

I'll be absent for a while, like just two weeks, I think...
just two words: FINAL EXAMS.   So frightening.
I'm graduating, I'll be done with high school in a few weeks! But first I have to do my last sacrifice: disappear from the whole word and study hard. 'Cos in Italy you don't have a huge party for your graduation, but you have a huge exam instead, which is not just a tradition because you really may fail it and have to repeat your last year of school. HELL NO! I HAVE TO PASS IT.

I'll be missing you all,
wish me luck!

And this is the last photo of me "alive", during my last night out (my b-day, too) before studying.
If I disappear forever, could you use this pic for my "missing" leaflet, pretty please?

When you can't use Polyvore...

 (the first drawing should be similar to me and to what I wore today: H&M black knitted cropped sweater, denim shorts and black leather belt)
When you're in school and you're really bored, you really feel like you're needing to express yourself, but you can't! So this is what I did during my French class, looking out of the big window that is next to my chair.
Oh gosh I needed Polyvore so much, but fortunately I had a pen, pencils and some ideas!
