Lorde became a royal

Don't you find it strange when a new singer comes out, and he's so talented and so fresh you just want to squeeze all of their creative juices right out of them?

Then, steadily but surely, the talent gets a backseat to a show of perennial commercialisation where everything you loved about the character to begin with gets buried under a ton of designer clothes, wild cars, even wilder antics and etc, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love designer clothes and ... well, I love designer clothes and everybody is pretty much free to lead any possible life they wish to, but.

But you should be careful about what you opinionated on the aforementioned articles in order to attract a horde of fans.

Here's a piece of an interview with my fav, Lorde, from Rookiemag just a little over a year ago.

"It was a very convincing Tumblr URL. Tumblr gives me anxiety and I don’t use it anymore, but I enjoy following yours. You have some fashion stuff on there, and I am interested in the way you think about style and the way you dress.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been into clothes, but not really labels—that’s kind of only been in the last year or so. It’s something I’ve always cared about. I used to just constantly thrift and make stuff and cut stuff up and borrow my dad’s stuff and borrow my little brother’s stuff and all that jazz. I guess that approach means that I’ll wear something from 1992 to a red carpet event because I have no concept of “this is current” or whatever. It’s just, if something is cool, then it’s cool. A lot of ’90s fashion isn’t simple, but, for example, Kate Moss in the Calvin Klein ads, or a white T-shirt and black pants, just that kind of clean, powerful aesthetic—that’s what I’m really drawn to. I recently bought this Acne jacket. I’m gonna go put it on. I’ve just started buying kind of brand-y stuff, but I get too scared because I’m like, “This is so expensive, I can’t justify it.” But I bought this Acne jacket and it’s so awesome. Hang on. [Runs off to get the jacket and returns wearing it]"

And this is Lorde, clad in Chloé at the Chloé Paris fashion show.She became a royal?She clearly got over whatever she was feeling about not buying expensive labels.Next up, crazy cars, trashing an expensive suite at an even more expensive hotel with bestie Taylor Swift (this is pure imagination, but bear with me) and french-kissing Cara Delevigne for Burberry.Sidenote: I know she looks amazing and she is a whiz kid deserving of laurels and nothing else. But she should have at least gone to see Valentino!

Sunday fun day - DIY polka dots potted plants

I am a very crafty person. This being said, this skill of mine is sometimes responsible for small little work of arts (this is usually when I'm working with kids in my classes) and sometimes (to be read many times) responsible for epic fails.
I woke up this morning feeling particularly crafty and had been thinking about repotting some geraniums for quite some time now but hadn't really gotten around to doing it because of...well, everything.
And this is what happened.

And this is how I did it.

My all-things-green pie

Have I ever told you about my obsession with green food?

You know how kids hate green food when they're young? I wasn't one of those.

Apart from my early obsession with shoes (I insisted on buying a pair of red patent mary-janes despite they were a shoe-size too small, and this was when I was 2), I have also loved to cook, watch cooking or eat the results of cooking. I was on the side of chubby for most of my childhood, adorable chubby mind you!

With a pastry chef grandma, I got lots of practice, but what generally makes sense to me cooking-wise, has never really made sense to my grandma. She likes greasy, buttery things that Dr. Oz would shriek at the mere sight of the recipe. Don't get me wrong, I like my crazy grandma food every now and again, but I'm usually on the side of healthy, light, easily-digestible, green!

And this brings us to today's recipe!

My city-girl, easy-to-do, all-things-green, gluten-free pie

Happy Women's Day!

Happy Women's Day!

Between studying and daydreaming about Valentino's rockstud patent leather kitten-heel pumps in yellow, I got these from my Mr. Mystery. 

And girls I don't know about you, but flowers are my second favorite thing after shoes and photography. Well, third favorite thing.

So I treated my man to an awesome Sunday lunch with asparagus tagliatelle and orange&spices cod. Of which I completely forgot to take a pic of. (Insert forehead slap noise)

But I will cook them again and be back with photos and recipes!

Until then, have a wonderful day with wonderful people and way too many flowers!

Kiss and Peace

No screwing around, please!

Shopping has been very unnappealing to me lately. I will admit the fact that being virtually broke has seriously dented my fashion addiction, but I'm missing desire here,guys.
I have not yearned for a jacket, dreamt of a shoe or tried out just for the fun of it any dresses since I saw Versace for H&M.
And ha!, no, it's not Donatella's fault for my recent fashion-challenged self. Her clothes weren't that bad.
It's just that every shop I go into has a lot of dull clothes, colorless, many shapeless (and don't give me the whole "they're supposed to be that way"), a lot too expensive for their quality, and basically almost all the same. It's weird.

I got all googley eyed when I saw Chiara Ferragni's shoes only to remember (insert forehead slap noise here) that I already own a pair of glitter shoes. They're called Miu Miu baby mary-janes (I have to take a pic and put it up here) and I'm already completely in love with them, hence the dying need to own a pair of Ferragni's shoes disappeared. Something along the lines of my perfect black pencil skirt when I broke up with an ex that had some of my clothes at his place... Ever been there?

Well, anyway, I've been out soul shopping (aka scouting things I'll buy just as soon as I can afford them) and I haven't awed and ooed once. Maybe a dress (but I have known of it for about a month so it doesn't count) and some shoes (old flame, died early because they didn't have my size, but I still visit them).
I don't know if it's just me. Labels and brands (not high fashion, top labels, we're talking about normal, average, mall-friendly labels) seem to have but just one designer which they happily share and pass around in a twisted fashion orgy, giving birth to the same ugly offsprings.
You see, when it comes to fashion, I'm conservative. No screwing around, please!

Something for the eyes, Something for the ears

Good morning!

Woke up to the windiest morning ever, did my yoga, ate my oatmeal, cuddled my adorable pooch and got down to business.

Another day of studying in the life of our SuperSinister.

But this bad weather got me thinking.

I don't have many beauty tips but the few that I do have have been thoroughly tested and girl-sans-standby-makeup-artist proofed.

I have mixed skin so I have to take care of my skin with different products.

I have just recently discovered this, may I call it, wundercream for my eyes.

It's tiny yet surprisingly sufficient, sufficiently hydrating yet not at all sticky and it costs a fraction of what I used to be paying for big brands.

This is a pic

I know it doesn't look like much but trust me, it amazing!

If you follow this link

Wunder eye cream

you can get all the info you need (P.S. At the bottom of the page you will find other international pages, this is Italy's)

On another topic, I just bought myself some ear candy that I have been dying to wear!

They look like something my mom would have worn on a night out when she was my age (actually she even admitted to owning a pair or two at some point).

I was thinking of pairing them with a black sweater, black skinny jeans and black, over-the-knee, leather boots.

I will come back with a pic as soon as that happens.

There's some other wild friend stories to share but that will have to wait for now.

Back to the studying.

Kiss and Peace
