Chanel N5 con Audrey Tautou

I am hooked to YouTube, so bad! I should be designing more softshell jackets with illustrator, but instead I am looking for Chanel ads. This is the latest one of Chanel N5 parfym with Audrey Tautou. If you have been following my blog or if you know me... I only wear Chanel parfym (Allure Sensuelle) and I am a hopeless dreamer... Enjoy!

I need to admit something that happened today. I think that it is kinda like from the movies. I was walking with my friend in Via Sant`Andrea (the street of Chanel store...) and a gorgeously dressed man walks past me. I stop talking and just stare at him. He walks past me and I turn around to look at him (I never do that), he turns at the same time and looks at me. I am stunned... I walk a few steps and I still need to see a peak of him, so I turn to look behind. I find him turning around and looking at me at the same time. I continue smiling with my friend but I am still thinking that it was something strange... ;o)

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

They raped the most beautiful song in the world!!! I love Italian language, but this... NO!!! This is a reason why I never watch tv here; it is all dubbed. I couldn`t stop laughing when I heard this version. Normally I am close to tears when I listen to this song in English.




I lived one year in Canada and I saw a lot of movies there. Pocahontas- movie was the last one I went to see there when it came out a decade ago. ;o) It has a lot of sweet memories, but this version... Original you can listen to here.

Viaggiare e sognare

Katariina left me a challenge a few weeks ago about places in the world where I would like to travel. I knew that the list would be long (because I am a dreamer) so here we go...
This picture is from Maldives, white beaches and perfect peace. Places like this in the world which I wanna see are Fiji, Bali, Bora Bora, Seychelles, Mauritius... the list sees no finishing. In one of these paradise islands I wanna get married. ;o)

I love Italy and that is why I live here. Already only here would be more than hundred places where I wanna go. Positano, Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri & Napoli- coast is one of them. Then comes Cinque Terre, Ancona, Sardinia, Alassio, Portovenere... All the gorgeous volunteers that want to take me around Italy this summer, please contact me directly. ;o)

I have a friend from Corfu, Greece. He said that his home is worth seeing. I truly believe that. One day I will come to see you Stefanos. Maybe you will show me your Athens home as well???

I have dreamed of going to Marrakech, Marocco. There is something dreamy and mysterical in the city. I am slightly scared that I will be sold to somebody`s 15th wife as an exchange of camels, but I guess it is not possible, right? Hih...

Cape Town, South Africa I wanna see as well. From there it would be so easy to go for a safari...

My German friend used to live in Istanbul and he told me to visit the city one day. This 5 star hotel in the Asian side of the city is in my eyes extremely beautiful... I almost booked a trip there this March.
I want to see the blossoming cherry trees in Japan in the spring time and visit Tokyo.

I was once in love with an Argentinian boy, Marcos. He will always have a place in my heart and one day I will visit him there. I need to pay the visits back what he made for me in Finland. Buenos Aires is a place to see...

I adore China or then it is just the places that I have visited there before, Hong Kong and Beijing, that made an effect on me. Shanghai is still a city where I will travel one day to eat well and buy silks for my future collections...

Kenya and Tansania/ Ngorongoro.

New York. See Katariina, this challenge will become expensive for my future husband... And these are only a few places in the world that I wanna see. I would love to see Australia as well. If I book a trip there I will let you know for sure. ;o) Kinda horrible to see now afterwards that my love/longing for the sea is so strong that all the places are next to it.

Perso

I think that my affection* to Michael Bubble started when I heard his song "Home" here in Italy. This one is an other beautiful song from him. It kinda descripes my feelings at the moment. I feel strangely melancholy...

* I like to play it with repeat atleast 20 times in a row... ;o)

La vita pigra

Since last weekend my motivation has been slightly lost for working. My mind is drifting in some other planet and I can`t concentrate on anything. This isn`t good... I still have a ton load of work to do before the end of June. My place remains like circus; customers coming and going (though now they are entering the sauna, +45c already inside), fabrics, pins, clothing and dust everywhere between the winter collections I am working with...still.
Yesterday one of my beautiful Israelian customers came for a surprise visit with her good male friend to bring some fabrics. I was so pleased to see them after I had been sweating inside the whole day, wearing only my sweatpants and a tanktop. My face was shiny after sitting outside for 30 minutes trying to get a bit tan to my mozzarella white skin. Did I mention that there is a construction going on in the courtyard and they always start to use the rock drill 7.30 in the morning?

Despite of that noice I slept in (again) this morning. I woke up for a phonecall from my school. Ups! My life is a mess honestly, but today finally I made it downtown to get some cosmetics that I ran out a few weeks ago. I was shopping with my dear Teemu. We went to Mazzolari, great place for everything you need of beauty products, close to San Babila. I didn`t wanna go to La Rinascente`s Sisley- section cause the ladies working there are bitter. So now I found a new place to spend my money, 350€ (suicide).
The service was absolutely great and I even got myself a facial for next week. Great!!! Can`t wait for some pampering.

I found out an other thing today. It is summer here (+33c)! I only spend my time inside working, so no wonder I am white as milk... Great day; got my necessary cosmetics, chatted with some friends, got hopefully some tan and will for sure spend the coming night working cause I have avoided it until now. Damn!
