“It was those 3 words that saved my life.

It wasn't complicated, wasn't pre-meditated.
To you I'm dedicated,
Lets just go ahead and say it...
I love you...”                                                   > Cheryl Cole & Will.I.Am

Today's Swiss national day! All red :)

 

 

“And it’s wonderful to be giving with my whole heart
As my heart receives your love
Oh, ain’t it nice tonight we got each other
I am right beside you
More than just a partner or a lover,
I’m your friend
When you love someone
Your heartbeat beats so loud
When you love someone
Your feet can’t feel the ground
Shining stars all seem to congregate around your face
When you love someone….”                         > Jason Mraz 

I wish I was your favourite girl

Here's summer! and every outfit I 'd like to wear in those (summerly holiday) situations.....

 

 

“You got the tenderness that I've been searching for
Oh, I want some more
You got the sweet lips like I did never taste before
Oh, I want some more…”                                         > Dan Auerbach

 

I’ve left the cold of my winter for summer

Yes, summer and sun are finally there!

 

 

“And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Cooling out for the rope
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn over and over
The mountrains sigh…”       > Ed Sheeran

 

lucky day!

 ...and happy as well (I finished my exams!)

Means I’m coming home again

sparkling new year

I'm not that bling-bling, but, sometimes, glitter is necessary!
Happy new year!!

“...the lights are flashing

 Down in here tonight
 And some might exchange a glance
 But keep pretending to dance
 Don't act like it's not happening
 As if it's impolite
 To go and mention your name
 Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best...”             > Arctic Monkeys

"There's a lot of fairy tales while
It's a cold world outside
Oh anyway, it's gonna stay that way
So if I keep myself from moving on ..."            > Jake Bugg

fashion fall

This is my selection of items-I-like during fashion weeks...

 “When you’re happy from a dream

Is it hard to work out what’s real
Is the real over there
More vivid than here ever feels
We could love, we could love you
If you need somebody to love you
While you’re looking for somebody to love
Sweet love illumination
Sweet, sweet love elevation
Outside, fresh other side
But inside love, you will be alright
Sweet love illumination
Sweet, sweet love celebration…”    > Franz Ferdinand 

'back to studies' outfit

Black & White & Khaki  = end of summer outfit (and end of summer means that school year is beginning...even  if I only begin in two weeks haha)

"Darlin’ I don’t want to let you down

 But I can’t get the game with your rules
 Deep down I know I would mess it up
 Spend the rest of my days with those blues.
 Darlin’ I know you want it as much
 As much as I want it to
 Darlin’ I know for sure
 Pick up the pieces..."      >  Tahiti 80

"catch me if you can"...

... Shutter Island  Titanic  Inception  Gangs of New York   The Departed  Revolutionary Road  is my favourite film with Leonardo DiCaprio Y! So I'm very excited to discover this version of The Great Gatsby...besides that, 20's clothes seem to be amazing!!

 



Even if some songs are really good (Florence + The Machine, The XX,...), I'm quite disappointed by the soundtrack...I usually blog about what I love, but I think Beyoncé's Black to black is useless...

“He's my sun, he makes shine like diamonds

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will…”           > Lana Del Rey

Easter decoration

My mum adores decoration...here a selection of what she did for Easter.
Have a nice weekend and eat chocolate :)

"I saw a fox by the rabbit hole
You saw a prince from a fairy tale
He promised that he'd watch over you
He turned out to be the fox we all knew

If I've got to be true, what chance did you stand.
Take flight, turn tale, get out while you can.

Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back.
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can. Don't look back..."    > The Hoosiers



* nail polishes = Mavala, Essence, OPI

I see life in black&white

Hurts.
yes, again...
still a week!

I saw them live and their show has the same stark gloomy melancholic universe which is already present in their songs and the design of their albums.

Can't wait more!

 

 

"No love, no light, no end inside

And I’m looking for a miracle
And I’m looking for a miracle
But I hope, I pray, and I will fight
Cause I’m looking for a miracle
Cause I’m looking for a miracle

There’s a place I wanna go
And a life I wanna know..."   > Hurts

François Gabart, a distraction in my revision work

77 days ago, I wrote about the world tour sailing, the departure of  Vendée Globe.
And today, the first one (that is his first participation!), François Gabart, 29 (the youngest), is arriving. He will break a record too, finishing in less than 80 days.

So I wanted to congratulate him and all the other skippers, because they deserve it! and see you in 2016!

those news make me think about something else than my exams...

 

 



“If I knew yesterday what I know today, where would I be tomorrow

I won't let my soul slide away, I'd do whatever it takes
Coz this time's only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it

I got one life, one life, one life and I'm gonna live it right…”    > James Morrison

it’s the end of the road as we know it

What will 2013 bring?

 So, this is what I'm waiting for this year :

       Oh, and I forgot:

        7) 'The Great Gatsby' (with Leonardo DiCaprio (!!!) and Carey Mulligan), the 10th March

        8) The new film about Superman! (this summer, probably)

 



“If you should fall upon hard times

If you should lose your way
There is a place here in this house
That you can stay
If you should find romance
Go on and take that chance…”             > The Killers
