For all "HIM" lovers, today is the official heartagram day.. One more reason to celebrate. However, since it was saturday and we were all free, we went out in a restaurant to grab some lunch. On our way to get there, we had several stops so that we could snap these photos.

Today I was wearing for the first time my DIY peacock clutch.. If you want to see the step by step tutorial, click HERE.

For a long time I've been carrying the design of this clutch in my head and I finally managed to find some time to make it. I had this banana colored, faux leather fabric left, and I wanted to make something out of it. I got inspired, gathered my tools, started from work and this is what came out. 

I'm not sure why I chose a peacock theme, I guess I just wanted to bring out some color and make it somehow colorful. 

The following photos are a step by step tutorial!

This one is my school's miniature model I made with a classmate as a school project. The project's main idea was to create something that could be added to our school's museum we are now building. Even why the high school were I study is one of the oldest in town, sadly we didn't have a museum until now. Others contributed with informations about Kostandin Kristoforidhi's artistic life  (the person after whom is named my school), or school's achievements through years.

Among several topics we chose to recreate the building of our school in smaller sizes. Sleepless nights, tiring days, but in the end the result was what we had in mind since from the beginning. (However, I'm sure we wouldn't make it right without daddy's indications. He's an artist and knows things better.)

I wanted to do this so badly because we're leaving next year for university and this will always remain in there. And secondly because this is so going to be attached to my "dossier jaune" when to apply for architecture.

Today, with a group of other students we had the chance to visit, guided by an italian history professor, different places in Elbasan that we see almost everyday but little do we know about them. It took us a whole day to get around our castle and learn new things about it. Tiring but fun too, except of the raining part though.

Yesterday I found in my grandmother's closet this purple shirt. I spend lots of time in her closet actually! She was very stilysh at her time, and fortunately she hasn't given away her clothes like other people normally do. 

I thought it needed some rearrange as it was way too purple, so I gave it a new color, a golden one. Now it looks better I think.. 

Italian people have an expression: "Natale con i tuoi, capodanno con chi vuoi". 

Last night it was New Years eve and I stayed home with my family until midnight, waiting for the new year to come. We ate dinner near the chimney while watching TV as well. Our menu for the night was rice, turkey, meatballs, french fries and different salads and for dessert bakllava. Though we didn't eat much I'm sure I've gained a few pounds because of the greasy dishes.

And then, on the stroke of midnight hour I went to a party with my friends.
