Latest


Pret-A-Manger saves my life almost every day. Today though, as I was trying to pay, the cashier had to give me a really really bad news: No More Credit. DISASTER.

After several calls to Italy, turns out my beloved credit card had been cloned and my money stolen. Everything is sorted out now, I am going to get everything back in a couple of days. But God, that was a bad news!

On the other hand: my boyfriend is getting here on saturday and staying until next tuesday. I can't wait to see him. Everything seems so right when he's around me, and he actually made my day saying he was going to stay for 3 days.


REMEMBER: EVERYTHING ALWAYS TURNS OUT FOR THE BEST.

All Tomorrow's Parties.


I can't remember where I took this quote from, but it was definitaly worth capturing in a picture. This could be the introduction to one of my future works. Crazy fun, desperation, damage, affection, solitude.. I have got loads of ideas.

Discovering The Waterfront.


One of my tasks for uni is that of having to re-design an album cover. I have picked Discovering the Waterfront by Silverstein, one of my favourite ever. My work will also be inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's paintings and by an architectural work I had the pleasure to during my visit at the Saachi Gallery; that of Richard Wilson (20:50) which I suggest you check out -or better, go and see.

This is just an outline of what I am going to follow for my project, it was done in class today using Photoshop in about 20 minutes. More, I want to refer back to Shel Silverstein's childrens books, to give the album cover a lot to talk about. I want it to be like a story, and be able to explain every single detail of it. I believe supporting ideas and decisions is essential for my purpose. I'll keep you updated!

My Goal.

The main thing in my mind is Central Saint Martins.
I have to get there as a Product Design student, I mean.. I HAVE TO!
I have never been ambitious, but this is just something I am obsessed with day and night and night and day. That would mean everything to me. Maybe that is also one of the reasons why I decided to set up this blog: keep a collection of daly inspirations, thoughts and anything that can help me to achieve my final goal.
As I told one of my lecturers on the fist day of uni '' If I don't get into CSM I might as well go back to Italy next year ''.
Any kind of suggestion -or support, will be greatly appreciated!

We Work, You Party!

What a great thursday night.
We happened to be around Brick Lane last night, and randomly ran into an amazingly colorful window with loads of washing machines inside. Loud music. Free drinks.
Good looking girls are always allowed everywhere for free, right? (this is my materialistic side talking lol). This was for the launch of a new kind of party which has- not surprisingly, taken over the US. The concept is not bad at all and pretty fun: get your clothes washed while having a drink and dancing with your mates. Socializing is the key word.
I wish I had taken some pictures, hopefully some will be uploaded soon on the event's website.
Party hard!

Saachi Art Gallery.

They were also making sketches.



Day spent at the Saachi Art Gallery. So much inspiration..





''We wish we could look like them''.

It is was difficult to decide which installation I liked the most. Though, I have to say the most impressing was that by John Wynne in which he used 300 loudspeakers, a pianola and a vacuum cleaner to create a unique piece of art, which I would love to re-create in my future home -obviously, space permitting.


I suggest you check out his website for further information.
