La settimana di natale a Rauma

The christmas week in Rauma has been busy. Visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of time. I was hoping to have time to sleep, eat, do sports, watch movies and start with my accessories collection, but all that was too much to ask. Like you can guess... sports and schoolwork has been the last things in my mind. Hih...

On Tuesday we went for x-mas lunch with my family and my aunt and oncle. Vanhan Rauman Kellari was okay, except the service. Well, christmas time...

On the 24th, the christmas eve, we always go to the market place to hear the city mayor`s speech. It is nice to meet all the old friends there.

My dad and I in front of the museum. The weather was chilly even without snow.

A view from my grand parents window in the Old Rauma.

In the evening after dinner, we have a tradition to go to the graveyard to light up canddles for my grandparents. It is always so beautiful there... though I was hoping it to be white this year. Maybe next year.

On the 26th my little brother has his nameday and we always make a strawberry cake for him. Nam...

Ritorno a casa per natale

I arrived home to Rauma last night from Milan. My daddy picked me up from the airport and on our way from Helsinki, we got stucked in to a terrible weather. It was raining/ snowing and finally in Rauma it was white. I was so excited that I started to take pictures 2 in the morning. Hih... tired, I know! ;o)

Already early Monday morning we had to leave to Turku, to my old home city, because I had a dentist appointment... No more snow on the way, damn!!! I managed to see a few of my best friends in the short time and witnessed little Benjamin becoming an adorable little boy. He was so cute! I wonder if I could write to Santa and ask one of those packages as well. Blond hair with brown eyes, please. Screw the career in fashion business and working in the spring fashion shows. Hih...Maybe not!!!

Contraddizioni in Italia

I had a rather interesting Friday... I got mails that I had been waiting for and I got errands done. Maybe here is future after all in this racing city. Here in Italy are so many things that drive me nuts, but some others which I just adore and can`t live without... :o)

I met my friend briefly for coffee. Every single day when walking to school I pass by this amazing coffee and I never have time to stop there. On Friday we enjoyed our 6€ tea there. Nice! We also stopped by in Louis Vuitton and while waiting for the service, we got offered champagne. I think that I need to go there more regularly... just for the bubbling. ;o) I had a hairdresser as well, but when going there as agreed, it was fully booked. They fitted me in somehow... luckily, but when paying of my treatment they ripped me of big time. When do these Italians learn that if I get shity service I never return there...

After the hairsalon I went to buy some leggins from Calzedonia. I was already afraid when entering there, because I knew there would be lady service and my dread was totally right. The worse service ever in this country. So from now on I buy my leggins from somewhere else. While taking pictures from the tram, some nice gentleman offered to take a picture of me. Nice! On my way home, I stopped to buy some parmiggiano for my dad and got treated like a princess in my favourite corner shop. The owner is always so sweet to me. So here is my point again, I just can`t decide whether to like here or not... Maybe when flying to Finland on Sunday night for vacation, I get some things straighten up in my mind...

L`ultimo giorno prima la vacanza

Last day of school before the vacation, which comes perfectly in time... We all need to sleep and rest so badly. The last class we had on Tursday was Mario`s patternmaking. In the beginning of the class we were 6... and in the end just the three of us; Monica, Daniela and I. (I bet we were the teacher`s dream class... ha haa)

We wanted to celebrate the beginning of the christmas break with a nice cena in Brera with some sparkling... We had great time again. ;o)

Piazza La Scala looks always amzing with all the lights and I can`t stop taking pictures when I pass it by.

Fila presenta Love Match

On Wednesday evening we planned to go to the charity event & party which was organised together with Wallpaper-magazine and my school. We were kinda glueless what it was until we got there, to Villa Necchi Campiglio. We founded out that three of our former students had designed T-shirts to Fila and they were presenting them there.... and hoping to sell as many as possible. Luckily the gorgeous male models updated us with the info. ;o)

Before the evening we had a full school day and the exam of Digital design. Feeling partly already on vacation, restless and lacking motivation to study, we sneaked out from Andrea`s class to La Rinascente for aperitifs. The laughter was easy and even easier when we travelled to the event with Mariana and Noni by bike.

This picture and my friends` faces are amazing... When we saw this picture we became so loud, almost hysterical. I am sure the entire Nottingham Forest- bar heard us. ;o) I am so sorry girls this is here, but it is just too funny.

The gang; Daniela, Mariana, Noni, Monica and me. Noni isn`t travelling anywhere... that is just a normal schoolback for us.

Later we made it to this famous bar that we had heard to make delicious coctails. It turned out to be a great place to meet interesting people... Kippis girls!!! (Cheers!)
