Reunion in Scotland

This weekend I practically crossed the country by train; I spent a weekend in Scotland to reunite with five of my closest friends from high school.
I had the best time, it felt just like the old times, we all cooked dinner together, hung out on the beach, made cake, had brunch at a farm, strolled in a cemetery at night, and probably ingested 16,000 calories each. We like to believe fat during a weekend with friends doesn't count.
St. Andrews was super tiny but really quite charming, and it was surprisingly much sunnier and warmer than down south.

The second set of photos is from a day out in London I went on by myself last weekend (I visited the National Gallery, Buckingham Palace and checked out a few Fashion Week events) + the Promenade magazine launch in Brighton, for which I am the street style editor (check out the magazine here).

Breakfast at King's Cross

Super busy these weeks! Though I just got back, I'm flying to Rome at 4 am on Saturday. So excited to be home! Been really homesick lately (mostly for food). 

Expect updates,

My weekend back home in Italy was slow, warm, and completely revitalising. Here's a few snaps I took with my dad's old camera.

A week ago I was supposed to visit my stepsister in Germany but my flight got cancelled. Still made the most out of the trip to Heathrow and had a stroll through Harrod's, South Kensington and the London Eye instead.

Almost forgot! I have the most exciting news.... I'M MOVING TO PARIS NEXT SEPTEMBER!!!
Words can't describe, the excitement is unbelievable.

My housemate and I on Halloween

Busy week ahead, I'm taking photos at the Brighton Vintage Fair tomorrow, have a fashion show on wednesday and going to Cambridge for the weekend.

Hope you're all having sweet autumns and had a frightening Halloween,

Luminous and wired

After some very upsetting times and quite a bit of drama with my flatmate (we were supposed to go to the Coventry on tuesday), yesterday I ended up going to London to see Coldplay at the Emirates stadium.

Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. As you may already know, I am the ultimate concert junkie and I've been dying to see Coldplay for so long, but I knew this was going to be an entirely different experience.

Because of my last-minute change I got a seating place. At first I was bummed but, turns out, it was actually better that way. I just want to skip to the best part of it all; the glowing wristbands.
Every single one of the 58,000 people in the stadium got a wristband that would light up automatically during the show. There was one moment as they were playing Charlie Brown, when for the first time they turned all the lights off and turned all the bracelets on. Okay, guys, the entire stadium gasped from the beauty of what was in front of us; the pictures don't even explain and the magnificence of the sight is hard to explain in words, but just try to imagine 58,000 coloured lights glowing and moving around in the pitch dark as Coldplay is playing in the background.
I've only cried from beauty twice in my life; once was in 7th grade camp in the Sahara desert where I saw the most incredible sky and the Milky Way, and the second time was last night.
It was so incredibly beautiful! And it was HUGE!

Coldplay didn't just make a marvelous musical show (as they would, with their flawless music!) but they also created an insane visual show with the wristbands, actual fireworks, confetti, balloons, blow up butterflies around the stadium...
There were people of all ages, families with kids, elderly couples, couples of 50 year old friends, all there chanting to The Scientist and Viva La Vida and Fix You (my god, Fix You made me an emotional wreck!) and I found it all touching and super adorable. I jammed and sang along to every single song so loud I'm surprised I still have any voice at all! It's been 24 hours now and I am still freaking out.

The entire 24 hours yesterday were wonderfully perfect, it was such a fun day and I wish I could thank Coldplay for an absolutely unforgettable night.

Looking awful and cold but really really happy

This week is Brighton Fashion Week and I had tickets to a fashion show today but woke up way overtired from yesterday so I decided not to go, whoops!

A busy week ahead, an exam, packing my room and then flying back to Italy.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my previous post, keep the suggestions of what you'd like to see next coming!

Weekend in London

I just got back from a weekend in London, where I saw my friend Anna who I hadn't seen since July. I just wanted a break and to spend a nice day out.

We went out for a nice lunch and went to the markets of Spitalfields and Brick Lane. There were so many cute vintage things and incredibly cozy-looking cafés! (And an awesome record store where we took the photobooth picture).

The weather was absolutely dreadful though, so we headed to Topshop on Oxford street. Considering as it's one of my favourite places and I consider it like the eighth wonder of the world, I was quite disappointed by everything there. In the end I only found a pair of creeper-ish white sneakers I've been wanting for a while.
Also, we FINALLY stopped by King's Cross on my way back to the station and got a picture with Platform 9 and 3/4. Awkward but totally worth it.

I took a bunch of fisheye photos but we'll have to wait to develop them to see them.

PLEASE leave suggestions of what you'd like to see on the comments (like would you like to see the street style photos? Or anything else about me or anything? Let me know.)
