About what's in my bag!

«Study - Train - Eat - Sleep - Repeat»

Well that was my (rather involuntary) motto of the last weeks.. My days were - and still are - totally stressing, full, tiring... and just exhausting. But yeah, I guess that's what you get when you try to pair college and ice-skating.

Anyways, I'm back! Once again.

Of course I'm really sorry for my absence, so don't worry, I'm still alive and I'm fine.

At this point I wish I could tell you that a LOT happened in the time I didn't blog anymore.. but well, truth is - all that really happened is that now - it is officially winter. Time for hibernation!

About a trip to Italy.

Hey my beautiful readers! This was actually supposed to be a really quick post about my trip to Italy and what I bought there, but it seems like I've got a lot of pictures haha..
Anyways, like I mentioned in my last post (here) I've been to Italy for a few days! We stayed at our relatives's house, but unfortunately, the weather was really bad.. So instead of shopping in the city of Milano, we went to a lovely shopping-mall instead.

About fall clothes.

Hey my beautiful readers! On the weekend I finally went shopping for autumn!
Most of the clothes I bought are from Zara - okay, basically all clothes I bought are from Zara.

Well this mostly has three reasons:

• I'm a poor student who can't afford any expensive brands
  (Not that Zara is that inexpensive by the way - not at all.)
• Where I live, there doesn't exist any Forever21 or anything. Our shops (which I actually can afford) are basically restricted to Tally Weijl, Zebra, H&M, Only, Zara, and. that's. it.
• I don't like our Tally Weijl and Zebra and Only that much to be honest.
• Pants from H&M don't fit me most of the time. 

So how you might have recognized - it's quite hard to shop for me here! Haha - yes of course I'm over exaggerating a little bit, but in common I don't really like shopping in Switzerland. Because of the shops, yes, and also because here, everything is unbelievable (& unreasonable) expensive.

Well I will survive in the end. And note that I'm only talking about the place where I actually live.

About a touch of blue.

I'M BACK! Don't know how many weeks passed since my last post.. but definitely too many. 

I've never been so busy in my life. I didn't have any spare minute, not even on the week-ends! 

But it feels great to blog again... And guess what? This is my last week of school before autumn break! 

You know what that means, right? I HAVE LOTS OF FREE TIME! 

Soo please please excuse me for my big absence, I'm going to bomb you with posts and comments now!

Now, really important:

About dungarees and its history.

This summer was or is all about dungarees. Since Switzerland isn't the most fashionable place on earth, or at least it's not as fashionable where I live, I searched long time for my perfect jeans dungarees.
But I finally found them! Although not in Switzerland - in Italy.

When I first wore them to school on Monday, right when school started again, everybody in my class looked at me like 'what the hell is she wearing'.  Like I already mentioned the place where I live is not fashionable in the original sense, you're like over-dressed with a pair of dungarees here, but honestly, I don't give a damn.

But - don't missunderstand me! There actually are people who dress very fashionable here too, just that everyone other doesn't understand that it is fashion then. Sounds a bit complicated maybe, to sum up I can say that if you don't want that people talk about you where I live, you better dress lovely but also really simple.

About summer days 2013.

I'm not a fan of studying during summer break, but this year I really had to learn something:

You don't always get what you want.

Well, to be honest, four weeks ago, right after I returned from my amazing trip to Paris, I didn't expect my holidays to turn out like this.

I had booked a beautiful hotel in the Toscana, and I had already made lots and lots of awesome plans with my friends.
But well, destiny doesn't always play by your rules, and so it happened that one day before my flight, a really close relative of mine fell into a deep coma. As you know I'm Italian, but I currently live in Zurich (Switzerland), so we had to cancel the flight and the hotel to drive to our relatives in Italy and support them. 

What followed were one or two (I don't really remember anymore) weeks spent at the hospital. There actually was only a little hope that she might wake up, but eventually, she didn't wake up anymore. She left us.

I'm actually feeling a bit weird to share these personal things on this blog, and I might delete this post in the future, but I wanted to let you know why I didn't blog for so long. Fact is - I haven't had any internet. Sorry.

About a quick journey through Paris. Part III.
