Travel Account: Oslo

There has always been a part of me that, despite the obsession with fashion and more contemporary matters, has been fascinated by Ancient Nordic pagan culture. Myths and stories told by legendary poets about the heroic adventures of Vikings, Gods and terrible giants, permeated with a mysterious and magical aura given by their deep connection […]

A Fairy Tale In The Making…

Once Upon a Time there was a girl with messy hair and flowery skirts who liked writing and clumsily doodling on colourful notepads filled with photographs and seemingly worthless pieces of paper that carried her silly, happy memories. She loved collecting what other people thought was useless crap, and treasured those little talismans impatiently waiting […]

G&Ts, New Girl and Job-Hunt-related Stress

It has been ages! I know…I disappeared on a wild boozy holiday to Bulgaria, got lost and never came back…until now…well…on the blog at least. My super pale skin is a tangible proof of my Scottish summer. What an interesting and fun one, though! So, yeah. I have been nicely busy. Seeing some cool shows […]

Scottish Weddings, Post-Job Interview Thoughts and more Insanity

No, I’m not dead…yet…Slowly going through some hectic times..and fighting with a suddenly slow laptop…After experiencing a few days in Aberdeen and probably the most alcoholic night I’ve had in a while, here I am. I survived my first proper Scottish wedding ( No, it wasn’t mine!). It was super fun! I managed to forget […]

The Eternal City, Sardinia and Utopian Dreams.

7 months. That’s how long I was away from Sardinia for. Probably the longest since I moved away. Long enough for my little cousin to turn 6 months old without me meeting her. Long enough for my mum and dad to start thinking about disinheriting me and complaining. Frequently. Long enough for my little sister […]

Big Brothers, Intense Movies and Modernist Heroes

Overwhelmed. It is probably my favourite word in the English language. I think I remember stumbling across this word, while studying Virginia Woolf and James Joyce for the first time in high school. I have always loved modernist authors, even though I have always found them hard to read -having a passionate Literature teacher helps, […]

Macaroni Pies, Random Rants and Broken Beds.

Today is not a good day. My mental instability has reached its highest peak in a ‘long’ time and I am currently in the best (or worst) Bridget Jones version of myself (Disney jammies, fluffy socks and Cher soundtrack included – don’t judge-) Why not to indulge in a bit of a rant and following […]

Milano, Milano, Milano.

I must admit I got quite obsessed with my last holiday destination. I just cannot stop talking about it. You know when you get annoyed at those people that, no matter how unrelated the topic of conversation is, they wouldn’t stop talking about that place they have lived in or being on holiday to and […]

Learned Lessons, Red Wine and Moving Forward

I am not long back from a fun, culturally committed weekend in Milan , where I went to visit one of my best friends. The chronicles of the adventure will come at some point, don’t worry! After having been ‘stuck’ in my lovely Edinburgh for about 5 months, I finally managed to get away. So […]

Spoonfuls of Nutella, Wedding Dresses and Valentine’s Day.

I have basically spent most of my evening off trying to decide whether to order pizza or going to the shop and buy some sort of super creamy, extra calorific chocolaty cake. Exciting life and first world problems. And yet, here I am, a few hours and a 10′ pizza later, holding a teaspoon and […]
