Frequency festival 2012

Hey kings+queens! I know, I know, this post is beyond overdue! In my defense, in the past month I got back to england, moved in my new house and started uni again.

But let's transfer back to August shall we? From the 14th to the 19th I returned to Austria for FREQUENCY FEST!
How to describe those four days? Minus the absolutely disgusting and uncomfortable camping, some of the best four days ever. We met some incredible people (and crashed at their house to shower!) who also got us backstage to meet Erol Alkan, and got through the insane heat and lack of sleep with lots of cocktails, sprinklers, and early morning swims in the river.

We saw some sick bands including The Killers, The Black Keys, Ed Sheeran (all in a row, swoon!), The Cure, The XX, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, The Dandy Warhols, The Hives, Hot Chip, Placebo, Block Party, Lykke Li.. just to give you an idea!

The Killers

The Black Keys

The Hives

Early in september my mum, stepdad and I drove all the way from Rome to England, stopping at Cinque Terre, Genova, Geneva, Lyon, Reims, Paris and London. It was suchhh a cool road trip.

Somewhere in Switzerland

Going back home to Rome for a weekend next week! I've lost a lot of weight, I need my mamma's cooking asap! Look out for amazing food photos with my film camera.

Lots of love,

A midsummer night's post

Finally back to updating, on the terrace with a view of the sun going down behind the beach, drinking some almond milk.. this is the life!

Three weeks ago two of my high school friends came to visit me in Italy. In Rome I brought them sightseeing, made them try the best food in town, made piña coladas by the pool and at that perfect time of day when the sun is setting and the sky is a beautiful pink we drove around in my convertible Fiat 500 in search of the perfect aperitif spot.
We then traveled to my beach house in Southern Italy and spent an incredible beachy weekend there. More fantabulous food ensued, of course.

We then flew back to Vienna, where I finally got to see more of my high school friends. Such a laid back, spontaneous, dessert-for-lunch, perfect summer-chilled week! We beat the heat by travelling to nearby lakes, mountain tops and adorable smaller Austrian towns. We also did some Geocache treasure hunts through the city, you should check that website out, it drove us a bit crazy but so much fun!

I am now back in Southern Italy, but guess what? I'm off to Austria again in four days for the FM4 Frequency festival!

The Killers, The Black Keys, The Cure, The XX, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, The Hives, Placebo, Hot Chip, Lykke Li... and so many more!

Beyond stoked! I flipping love festivals. Give me a day when I get back to recover from the 4 days of camping but expect a massive, fun post about that when I get back!

ps. is Some Nights by Fun the soundtrack of your summer? Because it is for us! What's the soundtrack of your summer '12?

Vacanze romane

Summer is here and I couldn't be happier. I finally developed my analog photos and I am so happy with them.

It's almost 40 degrees in Rome, but I am lahvin it. I've spent the past couple of weeks living what I like to call la dolce vita in Rome. I've watched the Italy vs Germany game at the German ambassador's house with the entire German embassy, the mayor of Rome and a bunch of news channels were there as well. First of all, winning in the enemy's house was glorious, muahahah! Secondly, it was one of the most beautiful and glamorous houses I have ever seen. And after the game, Rome went absolutely wild and we drove around in our convertible Fiat 500 waving a huge Italian flag and dancing and celebrating with complete strangers on the street. Viva l'Italia!

Other than that I have met a cousin of mine from Argentina that I had never seen before and showed him around, been called crazy for roaming around the city in the killer heat taking photos to finish my analog camera, drove to Abbruzzo (eastern Italy) for a day and ate lots of incredible ice cream and, of course, my beloved cacio e pepe.

Now I'm enjoying the beach in southern Italy but going back to Rome next week as a friend from Vienna and one from Madrid are coming to visit me and we're vacationing around Italy! And then I'm off to Vienna. Super stoked!

Off to catch some rays again! Hope you're all having a kickass summer,
