what on earth is going on?

1) cute Joseph Gordon-Levitt and beautiful Emma Watson looking amazing together at the Oscars' ceremony!

2) absolutely gorgeous prints from Peter Pilotto x Target!

3) new video clip from Arctic Monkeys : 'Arabella' which is so visual and retro...

4) new (and super easy) way to do my nails!!

5) Foster the People are back! How is this new album?  Torches was INCREDIBLY enjoyable and  I love every single song. This one sounds different even if there are some great tunes, like "Ask Yourself", "The Truth" or "Are you what you want to be?"(maybe I'll make a review soon!)

6) weather isn't warm enough to wear summer dresses, so I draw them...

7) my mum began to bake fantastic (and delicious) cakes!!

 'Cause the outside world doesn't need our help tonight

Drunken satellites in the orbit of our earth

In the gentle night little whispers draw us closer …”    >  Tired Pony

It's a cold world outside
Oh anyway, it's gonna stay that way

To decorate cupcakes : I use cream cheese  (flavored with melted chocolate or raspberry juice) less fat than butter cream...or you can melt some white chocolate with butter and add some icing sugar.

Rock'n'Rain

Blue sky doesn't exist since my last post and it is still raining... Nevertheless I am lucky for 2 things :
1) there are at least 50 shades of grey (haha, I didn't mean to) in the clouds. That's so beautiful, I think!
2) I still live in my parents' house and my dad has a huge collection of CDs and vinyls and I completely enjoy listening to them during the whole afternoon, with a cup of chai tea, some raspberry chocolate and a book (If you could see me now by Cecelia Ahern, for example)!!!

This is the list of tracks that combines songs I've discovered and really like and the favourite ones of my dad(OK, there are so many more for him ( I didn't have time to listen to everything...), but I choose one per artist that we really appreciate)

"We get the dreams that we deserve
The magazines that we deserve
Page one and three that we deserve
The joy and the pain that we deserve
The sun and the rain that we deserve
The material gain that we deserve
We get what we deserve
...
We get what we want if we really want it
We get what we want if we're really honest
You know what you are
You know what you want
You know what you deserve..."   > Marillion

ciao bella!

Holidays are almost finished...but these are some  Italian souvenirs  from this summer.

Toscany is a very beautiful place with a lots of lovely towns (Pisa, Sienna, Lucca, Firenze, ...), weather is warm and food is so delicious (pasta, ice-cream, pizze and olive oil... yum!)!

And satisfaction feels like a distant memory

And I can't help myself,

All I wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"
