Etsy Christmas Mega Gift Guide



Have you started your Xmas shopping yet?! I did, just few small things, I don't have many gift to give but I'm totally in the mood for Christmas shopping. I won't use lots of words to introduce you in this very huge gift guide, but if you have still no idea what to buy or add to your Xmas wish & gift list take a look at the creations I've found for you on Etsy I'm sure you'll find something for you and for your family and friends.
My first purchase is from Kerri of Tenthings , few lucky clovers for friends..love them and love the idea to give a little bit of luck to my beloved ones!

Is Grunge Dead?!




...the answer is no!! From catwalks to fashion editorials to streel style grunge or new grunge is still on, plaid shirts, boots, messy hair, chunky jewels, so inspiring and the perfect combination of rock& fashion that I adore. I'm very "grunge" in the last weeks is what I feel omre comfortable and good on me to match my style and my self. I was a kid in the 90's and I loved my Dr.Martens , jeans mini skirt and ripped tights, even more because I loved the music ( I grow up with rock in every "shades"..) and because I used to attend to a catholic school were we had to wear a stupid navy-blue uniform , so the rebel in me loved the trend of rip jeans tights shirts, skulls everywhere , rock bands tees (that my dad stole from me for the concerts!!) and tons of jewelery that at school I couldn't wear. Just yesterday I've watched one "iconic" 90's movie, Singles, with Matt Dillon, Bridget Fonda and Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell the Alice in Chains..you must watch it it's such a great movie and so much inspiration!!



That's the best 90's song (IMO) from Singles performed by the best 90's grunge band ever, the Alice in Chains : Would?




RIP Layne Staley


That's some of my fav "new grunge" items from Asos, I've bought some of them, waiting for my Xmas list to get the others!!

Apologies & Thanks




I’m very very honored, My Way got 3 awards this week, and 2 in the past weeks that I must post . I’ve been an horrible blogger, it’s a month now that I come back from my vacation and I still haven’t found enough time to write a decent post and share the awards. I’m so happy that you still read and like my “baby” I need to take more care of it and to read more yours (..I read almost everyday yours but in office I can’t comment and sometimes I can’t see pics..stupid internet policies..). I want to use this post to share with you my feelings in those past weeks and why I’m lacking of inspiration etc. As maybe many of you already know I’m planning to move to south of Italy and leave Milan, that I’m having some problems with my job due to finantial crisis and that I’m always a “rebel” so I need to find always a reason to be upset or to complain!! Things are not going well, with my job is a nightmare, we are in 3 now (we were in 8..) and still not sure about our future here, I’m looking for a job in Rome or somewhere in Lazio the situation is hard, very few jobs and too many people that need them. Before moving I need to rent my house and fix many many things, it’s not so easy now it was easier when I was broke and young..I miss those days. Things are getting very hard and slow that I’m feeling so stressed and down, sometimes I panic and can’t see an happy ending..I really really really don’t want to live here anymore, it’s more that hate it’s a necessity to move now, and time dosen’t help..I feel that I’m loosing my life here without nothing to do , without a goal or a reason to stay and wait, I don’t need to wait but I have to because things don’t depends on me only, hate it.
It’s like when I’m not in love with somebody anymore..I leave I don’t try to make things work because I know they won’t. So now I know that my mind and my heart don’t belong here anymore and I need to change..but when?? I’m very frustrated , it’s like to make 2 steps forward and 1 backwards
.very frustrating. Sorry about this but this is the reason why lately I don’t have time and inspiration to blog as before. I spend most of the time trying to fix the situation and to find a solution and time runs so fast that scares me..
Maybe I need to spend more time relaxing here, my blog and yours really help me to relax and to stay positive, but it’s a vicious circle , when I’m feeling blue, stressed and depressed I don’t or I can’t realize that beeing more “blue” won’t help the things to be better. it’s like with chocolate or wild shopping you know that too much will be bad for you but you can’t stop !! Btw, I was (and sometimes still) thinking to quit my blogs but it won’y help me to fix anything..so thank you very very much for beeing always a great inspiration for me. I’ve announched an halloween giveaway few posts ago but I can’t make it now, it will come I promise, it’s something that will be great for many other occasions too..sorry sorry sorry .

Random Sunday



Happy Sunday!!

It's cleaning day here, I must clean and check my closet , so I've started from my pc and I've found some of my fav pics in a lost usb key..I hope you'll love them as much a I do!! So have a great sunday & an amazing week, love eat drink cry laugh dance..make something that you love!!!






















And I cry and no one can hear
Inhale the blinded eyes that see
The chaos bring the pitiful to me
Even though I'm wide awake
I will in blackest night
And I wait for you
It's cold in here, there's no one left
And I wait for you
And nothing stops it happening
And I knew I'd cherish all my misery alone

And I wait staring at the northern star
I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
He's so cold he will ruin the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the northern lights
Kneel into the frozen lights

And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried 'cause you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows all that's cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude?
They run to the pines
It's black in here, blot out the sun and run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And I knew the fire and the ashes of his grace

And I wait staring at the northern star
I'm afraid it won't lead you very far
He's so cold he will win the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Feel their hearts, they're cold and white

And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
Oh, tear his heart out
Cold as ice, it's mine

And I wait praying to the northern star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the northern lights

And I pray begging to the northern star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the northern lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
Feel their hearts, they're cold as ice
