I forgot to mention I stopped at Starbucks while I was at Alexa. I hadn't been at Starbucks since last December (in Leipzig with Patti), but I was thirsty and saw they had Caramel Frappuccino and thought "All right, I'll just be a tourist and get myself one." Since we don't have Starbucks in Italy, I always associate it with being on holiday and, thus, a tourist. Then while I was waiting I caught a glimpse of the cheesecake and got that too (I LOVE cheesecake, but hardly ever eat it in Italy). And as I sat down and began eating, "Just like heaven" by The Cure started playing. That's what I call a perfect little moment. <3

I don't think I've been in an H&M for at least a year but yeah, they're cropping up all over the place. That, and Primark, which is just really cheap and nasty. There is a reason the prices are so low! Everything is made with cheap labour and cheap materials that fall apart after two washes >:( I think the last thing I got out of there was a fleecy blanket for my bunnies to nest in.

I really detest buying new clothes though. Li is tailoring me a few items at the moment from beautiful fabrics which is actually costing me a fraction of the price of what it would cost to buy the ready-made thing that doesn't even look as good from a shop. I loathe seeing men in shop-bought suits. Go to a tailor, you cheapskates! It's not actually that expensive, and you can get something unique!

I wanted to buy a cotton scarf last autumn and it took me forever to find one that was actually cotton! Everything in shops was polyester or some other artificial material. I finally found one on a stand in a small Christmas market in Hamburg. Why is everything made of plastic these days? ;_;
