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.

Bonjour my lovely readers! Today I will take you on a really quick trip through my Paris suitcase, the things I bought there and what I wore!

If you haven't yet seen my other two posts about the trip, click here for the first Post about Paris, or here for the second post!

Well, first of all I wanted to show you what I bought last year (!) in Paris. (Mainly from Abercrombie & Fitch, Zara, Levi's and the bag on the picture below is from Bershka).

So finally I managed to prepare the second post about my quick trip to Paris!

In this first post here I already showed you my aunt's house on the Champs Elysées, the Opéra, lunch at Printemps, the Eiffel Tower by day, Notre-Dame and Pont des Arts.
Take a look at this post if you haven't yet!

So the first destination I'd like to show you today is:

A quick journey through Paris. Part I.

Okay. I'm literally, deeply, madly, crazy, hopeless in love with Paris.

If you've read the "Lory's Story' page"  on my blog (well, I don't think you did) you might know that my aunt lives there directly on the Champs Elysées, and I visit her once in a year. 

Paris is the biggest inspiration I've ever seen in my life. I love the buildings, the people, the mentality, the chicness, the fashion.. just everything. Except the food and the weather of course. The food is awful. 

When I first visited Paris a few years ago, the love to fashion as a real art grew inside of me. 

I don't really have the words to describe what this city does to me, but it's the reason I'm obsessed with fashion and books about fashion.

So if my parents ever complain about me spending a fortune for books about the story of fashion.. well.. blame my aunt with her apartment on the Champs Elysées.

Anyways, I went there several times now, but I'm amazed by this city every. single. time.

So I'd like to show you my few days in Paris with this (and other one or two posts which will come later).  The weather was actually amazing (30 degrees every day, it was unbelievable hot), which was a real surprise because it rained everytime I went to Paris except this time.

About a wedding in Milano!

This week I went to Milano to attend my cousin's wedding! He and his wife know each other for 11 years now, and they actually met in Great Britain in their teenage years.. So they decided to make a wedding inspired by the awesome country where their love started.
They married on Saturday the 6th July, it was far over 30 degrees, and everybody sweated as hell! Nevertheless it was an amazing and unforgettable day!

Very un-traditional for Italy, they didn't marry in a church, but outdoor..

About a crop-top, and my long-awaited-freedom.

Oh I can already smell the summer holidays! Freedom! I can't even believe it, IT. IS. ALL. OVER! 

Today I had my last chemistry test and that's it for this school year, and I'm so overwhelmed, so happy I could cry! I didn't even know what to do with my spare time this evening! Okay well maybe I did. I searched for something to wear for my boyfriend's diploma celebration on Thursday, which was more difficult than expected! 

Anyways, the conclusion of this post will definitely be: I need to go shopping! 

The color of success!

(Mint-) Green - the color of success, nature, life and luck! At least it's what Google says.

But one thing I know for sure: Because of its femininity and softness it's the perfect color for summer and spring!

This is absolutely my favorite color right now and I'm so happy I found some mint-green pants in Como (Italy) last week! 

And at this point I wanted to add the standart "Sorry for not posting that much, I was too busy with studying, school exaggerates it at the moment!" I'm glad the stress is more or less over for this week so that I can show you some (improvised and very bad - sorry for that) pictures of one of my mint-green outfits!
