Barefoot Tonight

I can't wait to spend my evening drinking cocktails on the beach, barefoot.
Enough said! :)

(my mom's vintage lace shirt - probably from the latest 70's // studded jeans shorts - Criminal Damage // sparklin' stone necklace - H&M)

Styling a Miss.

Last week my friend Giulia decided to participate in a beauty contest, so I helped her with mak-up, hair and clothes: I was her stylist!



Girls from all over Italy participated and Giulia passed the first selection, but then she didn't win the crown. Anyway she was the one with the best and bigger fans club!


<-- her "elegant" oufit.
Dress from her wardrobe, my rose bracelet and key necklace, from New Look.



And here's Giulia with number10 (the second on the left) during the "casual outfit" part of the contest, with other gils that were participating:

wearing ankle boots, basic white t-shirt and vintage jeans jacket from her wardrobe, my golden chains from H&M and vintage brown bandana.
I also managed to look after every detail, so I did her a nail-art too, using H&M cracked nailpolish and a simple gray one from Essence:

Too bad that she din't win, but it was a very funny and crazy night so we enjoyed it anyway!

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:

Not inspired yet? Have a look 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!
