So the beautiful, stylish and funny Esther has once again graced me with an award! I have really taken my own sweet time with posting this, but I really really do appreciate it :) <3

Thank and link the person who awarded you
Write 7 random things about yourself
Spread the love to 15 other bloggers
What you probably didn't know about me:
I love mushrooms
I am addicted to the tv-show ancient aliens (among other conspiracy and mystery shows, books etc.)
I am fascinated by serial killers (NOT in a creepy way. In more of a criminological approach)
My dream is to study social anthropology paired with development studies.
I love debating! (yes, I'm a bit of a nerd sometimes)
I first got a crush on my boy because I love the beatles and so does he, AND because he has these glasses that look like Lennon's classic round ones (some argue that he looks like Harry Potter...haha:)
I have recently started to notice that I spend far more time with boys than girls. It's just so much less complicated!
Despite having a coffee date with one of my closest friends and getting to spend heaps of time with my bf I have to admit that this has not been the best of days. I'm all sniffly and achy. I must be coming down with something. The funny thing is that my bf loves it when I get a bit ill, since he gets to baby me and bring me food and tuck me in (yup, he has more of a maternal instinct than I will ever have!). And that's exactly the kind of luxury I got to experience today. The food: his mums home made meatballs and mushroom sauce (YUM!) and lots of cuddles and trashy tv.
His mum gave me some mushrooms to take home as well (she always treats me with food :) so I made some of those for dinner and then enjoyed a HUUUGE lollipop shaped like the white house (it seemed like a good day to treat myself).
Here's my ootd and other randomness of a tired mind:
Lindex knit and H&M denim jacket over a vila maxi dress with MONKI booties :) A nice, warm and comfy outfit.
A UNICEF bracelet that my friend (the one I saw today) bought for me :)
And my beloved ELLIFANT!
Autumn is very officially here: dad turned on the central heating. I love how it hums next to my sofa :)
While I was studying for History I got really into watching documentaries and I haven't stopped. Some of the most interesting ones were those on Egyptology. As I was watching a particular one about Cleopatra I got really inspired a gorgeous big necklace. Imagine my astonishment when I happen to stumble upon quite a similar one at the fleamarket! My expression must have been priceless :)
SO yesterday I played around with the theme and wore that beautiful necklace as an accent to the most simple outfit and accentuated the effect with heavy eye liner. Super.
Speaking of yesterday...It was meant to be a night in, but we ended up going over to H's friend's house for poker night. WAY TOO MUCH FUN. I am beyond flattered that they asked me to join them, since I've only met some of them a couple of times. Anyways, they were all so very friendly (and some of them quite grown up...shocker :P!) and even though I was the only girl in a group of 10 or so, I never felt left out for one second. However, I didn't join in on the poker since I tried once with S and an M&M's set and we just ended up eating everything. I think they took me in really nicely so I look forward to seeing the lot of them again!
Thrifted knit, Zara chinos
Preppy little vintage shoes
And my lush jewellery. You might also notice how pathetically short my nails are: that's what you get for soaking in the tub for just a bit too long a few too many times :P
I love it :D Today I had my exam and I think it went rather well. More importantly today was my parents' 23rd anniversary and we celebrated it with a huge 3course dinner (tomato soup,mushroom risotto and panna cotta...Italian:). After all of these busy weeks of just grabbing a bite to eat it was so incredibly relaxing to sit down and catch up with everyone while actually enjoying what I was eating :P
Afterwards I pampered my mum by dying her hair.
I got a new idea for a nail DIY, so I'll try to produce it for you lot within a week.
I'm going fleamarketing tomorrow as a treat to myself :)
Just over a week till the October break and my trip to Italia to see la mia bella ragazza, friend since preschool and fellow blogger: Benedetta (check out her blog about photography and life :)
Since my sister became a veggie the rest of my family has been doing a lot of that too. As lovely as the idea is...I'M SICK OF IT. I miss steaks. So tomorrow H promised to BBQ or fry up something delicious for me :)
Simple and comfy outfit for the exam day: little knitted cardi, bf jeans by Levis and a (bo)red t-shirt.
This spectacular choice of slogan for the day seemed to cheer up one of the supervising teachers :P
I topped the look off with vintage style (*cough CHEAP COPY cough*) sunnies
and ofc my trusty ballet flats (THANKS S!!!!)
I couldn't be happier now. You guys contribute to a lot of that.
I haven't been commenting back as much as I'd love to, but you've still kept in touch and that means heaps :) I am slowly inching closer to normal. I still have one itty bitty test to study for and then I'm totally set for at least another month :D
I'm having an angsty-panicky stress situation about tomorrow's exam and taking it out with mr. Morrisey's ingenious lyrics! In some strange way all this sinister music actually makes me smile (I'm a fan of dark humour in general).
I've been so silent and boring in the fashion department lately because of all of these exams, I just feel spent... I hope that an intense pampering weekend with mr. Silly H will re-energize me and get me back to my normal and hyper state ( How could it not?).
JUST ONE EXAM MORE :D And I'm done for a little while (I still have several course exams, but they don't really make a big difference :P)
Ah the feeling of wailing along to the glorious morbidness. "And if a double-decker bus, Crashes into us, To die by your side, Is such a heavenly way to diiiiiiiiie!" . I swear, today I'm like something out of a really bad rom-com.
I cannot wait for that sigh of relief after tomorrow's exam :)
