FALLING DOWN / LIL PEEP & XXXTENTACION

By Leave a Comment

“Falling Down” is such a beautiful song and the fact that both Lil Peep and XXXTentacion tragically died before it was released makes it kind of melancholic. In case you don’t know, Lil Peep died of an accidental overdose in November, 2017  while XXXTentacion was shot dead during a robbery, last June. They were only 21 and 20 years old. And it’s so sad.

The two musicians didn’t recorded this song together, they never worked together while they were alive. The song was originally titled “Sunlight on Your Skin” and it was an unfinished song, result of a collaboration between Lil Peep and singer and rapper iLoveMakkonen. XXXTentacion recorded his verses as a tribute to Lil Peep.

I love rain and I love songs that talk about rain, or mention it. So, “come let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down” sounds so sweet, to me.

This post made me think about starting a journal, which is something that, wrongly, kind of makes me feel like a teenager. But I keep reading it’s such a good and useful habit so I think it’s time to consider it. {on Sea of Shoes}

An interesting article about the controversy about Dolce&Gabbana and China. Please, take time to read it and remember how many celebrities have been banned by the Chinese government. And the infamous “slave sandal” simply refers to a footwear worn in the Ancient Rome, called this way for its lacing. It’s a popular way of saying, in Italy. It’s more or less the same of gladiators. {on Dazed}

RECENTLY INSTALIKED

While I’m trying to work on my lack of consistency on Instagram, I consistently like a lot of photos, with my own hands and not using a bot. What I like is what I actually love and I often wonder if people who use bots realize the kind od photos and people “they” like and follow, because some are kind of embarrassing. Unfortunately, Instagram itself is responsible of this activity, even more since the change of the algorithm. I’m sure that by the time of New Year’s Eve IG will keep on showing me people having great time on Christmas.

Anyway, these are some photos I recently liked on Instagram and yes, I love dogs!

These red shoes.

WHITE RABBIT / JEFFERSON AIRPLANE

By Leave a Comment

Few months ago I was browsing through Bloglovin’ and read a blog post about “The Handmaid’s Tales”, a TV series I will probably never watch, because of the dark plot that tragically doesn’t seem too unrealistic, nowadays. The post also told about the beautiful soundtrack of the series and “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane immediately caught my attention. I didn’t remember the last time I listened to it. Later, I found out it’s a song used in many TV series, like “Big Little Lies” and “Strange Things” (I haven’t watched many TV series, recently).

It’s great that old songs like “White Rabbit” (which was released in 1967) can reach young audience or people who are not into the band’s genre. Jefferson Airplane were a rock band formed in San Francisco and they are considered among the pioneers of psychedelic rock. You may know another of the band’s most famous songs, titled “Somebody To Love”.

Rolling Stone ranked “White Rabbit” among the 500 greatest songs of all time. I think it’s kind of mesmerizing, it’s hard to listen to it only once. I chose two videos for you, the first is audio only, in the second you can see the band playing but the quality of the sound is not good.

WHY YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT DEACTIVATING YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

By Leave a Comment

Two years ago I read a blog post with one of those cliché titles that work so well and make you want to click, one with the words “hack” and “happiness” (am I the only one who can’t resist to the word hack?!?). The hack was very simple, but effective. To be happy, but I’d rather say to feel less flat, you simply had to remove the Facebook app from your smartphone. The reasons totally made sense. At that time FB was full of news about Brexit, US election, the Syrian war and much more. Not exactly joyful topics, and most of all worse than the apple of discord. So why keep on reading depressing news and opinions?

The post was pretty convincing but I made up my mind only few weeks later, after I got involved in a late night crazy, useless conversation on a Facebook group that only made me nervous. I realized how toxic Facebook was becoming and I removed the app from my smartphone. And trust me, my “social health” improved.

Since I’m insomniac, I have the bad habit to check the phone before going to sleep; sometimes I simply organize/delete photos or write a note, but I usually check Instagram and watch the stories of my favorite accounts. I know that checking devices before going to sleep is not heathy and prevent you from having a good, restoring sleep (smartphones emanate blue light, which is perceived by our brain as a light associated with the awakening), and I’m working on this bad habit but staying away from Facebook, most of all before falling asleep, makes a difference, I swear.

While Instagram is still a kind of happy place (even if I feel like it’s increasingly becoming like Facebook one update at the time), the social network has become the perfect place for controversy, polemics, hate, ignorance, rudeness, do-goodism, and intolerance. It’s the reign of unsuited people, that’s how I call them. And I don’t want to deal with them. They don’t deserve my time, they don’t deserve your time.

One day I felt particularly sad (for personal reasons) and I decided it was time to deactivate my Facebook profile. Have you ever felt like you were watching a TV show or a film that sucks and at one point you ask yourself why you’re keeping watching? I felt this way. I know I could just log out and never log in, or at least not doing it for a long time. But it wouldn’t be the same.

I didn’t delete my account so my decision is not final, yet. I know my Instagram accounts should be business and the only way to make them so is having a Facebook account. I miss some useful groups and accounts (like He For She, for example) but right now, there’re more pros than cons to not spend time there.

That’s why I think you should consider deactivating, even for a while, your account. You will find out that Facebook has nothing to do with your life.

ROMANTIC / HOOVERPHONIC

By Leave a Comment

“Romantic” by Hooverphonic is a song that one of my favorite radios is regularly airing and I liked it at first listening. The Belgian band is back with a new singer, Luka Cruysberghs, and this new single. And a new album, “Looking For Stars”, that was released yesterday.

“Romantic” is actually about not being romantic, in fact Cruysberghs sings “don’t bribe with roses/don’t be such a poser” and “don’t be dramatic/’cause I’m not romantic”. What a beautiful song! I love its vintage vibes.

CH-CH-CH-CH CHANGES

By Leave a Comment

I’m back after a break from the blogosphere because I missed writing and every time I took a look at the blog I felt kind of sad. But I realized I needed to change, otherwise a comeback would be nonsense.

Together with the blog, I’ll take care of my Instagram account, again and it will be more Italian users friendly. I don’t know if I’ll be back on Facebook, instead. In fact, I decided to deactivate my account because Facebook was becoming too toxic and I think I’ll write a post about it and how I feel good without its hate, ignorance, and intolerance.

I want the blog to be more interesting, more personal and a bit less fashion centered (but just a bit!). Some regular posts will stay, some regular posts won’t, or it’s better to say they will stay, but in a different way.

If you like David Bowie I’m sure you immediately realized his song “Changes” inspired the title of this post, it sounded so perfect.

So, We Believe in Style is back and I hope you’ll like the changes.
