My Italian Wedding

Hello ladies!
How are you today?
How did you spend your Valentine’s Day?
As for me I got completely amazed by Nina Zilli’s dress she wore yesterday evening at San Remo Festival, simply fab!

Yes I know, I should have spent my Valentine’s watching the oldest song festival in the whole world, but I quite liked look at the dresses and hairdos of the singers – leaving abroad sometime I feel I’m cut off the new fashion trends…

The Italian singer, well know for her vintage and pin-up like look, chose a nude colour dress with tulle and drapes by the famous British stylist Vivienne Westwood. I love the red shoes with high platform too!
Her teased hairdo was a tribute to Amy Winehouse, cool!
Looking forward to see her look tonight…

By the way, her new song Per sempre (Youtube video) is really nice!

Hi girls,
I hope you are doing well!
It has been a very busy time at work in the last couple of weeks…so to keep my mind free this week end I decided to have a break and spend my time doing some DIY!
Music, an old lamp and a bit of creativity have been the ingredients for this afternoon bricolage section at home.
I got an old lamp from my mum’s which, I can’t believe, was the bedside table lamp she bought when she got married around 35 years ago…
I gave it a dust and then I thought I wanted to make it more modern and contemporary – a little scrubb to take off all the yellow and gold painting and then I used a white paint for the stem.
Then I went to Ikea where I bought a black and white floral patterned shade…

This is before the restyling!

After a DIY afternoon listening Gotye, my new idol!!

Since the lamps are two I will try something different (and hopefully better!) for the next one! Keep tuned!
