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: 

If you have Instagram, please follow my brand-new account @nomoneyforhighfashion. I follow everyone back!

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.

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).

A quick journey through Paris. Part ll.

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.

«Paris is always a good idea.» 

- Audrey Hepburn 

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..
