Stripes & Cats

November 26, 2014

The fact that whenever I come into contact with stripes and buy everything that has stripes is still a mystery to me. If one single stripe comes in my view range I will buy it no matter what.

The cotton turtleneck figure hugging striped shirt is a great basic, comfortable and cozy.  I like wearing it at home and getting comfortable in bed with the cats when outside is very cold.

The Sights & Sounds of Istanbul

November 21, 2014

Istanbul – the 5th largest city in the world, the largest urban agglomeration in Europe.

What at first we found unpleasant (the non-stop traffic, no parks whatsoever, a city so crammed and polluted, no parking spaces, the traffic of people around you and the sounds of the mosques delivered several times during the day, starting at 5 o’clock in the morning) the next day won us over completely.

Istanbul is not what it seems: hidden beneath all the crammed buildings and the agglomeration of people is a vibrant and colorful city, full of history (and I mean a lot of history), traditions and warm people. What you can find at every corner, every hour of the day, is their very cheap food that wins you over (the Doner Kebab, the Ezogelin Soup, the rice pudding desert, the Ayran Turkish Drink, the famous Turkish Tea – just to name a few of their traditional foods). It is true what they say, that you can never die of hunger in Istanbul. It is the healthiest city I have ever been to, with Vitamin Shops (fresh juices on the spot) all over town and the selling of nuts, fruits, seashells, rice and meats on the streets.

Lady of the Forest

November 18, 2014

This! This right here is the loveliest, prettiest dress I have ever had the pleasure to wear. You feel like a movie star, or an actress in a period movie. It is custom made by the lovely Diana Bobar from her Fall/Winter 2012 Collection. Look for a link at the bottom of the page, she has a whole shop of them.

I love green, and this matched perfectly with the lovely leafy Autumn we’re having here. So, feeling like a starlet, I grabbed my high heel shoes and literally ran into the forest for some photos. I am petite, so the lenght has to be cut, but in photos it looks stunning, so red carpet ready. To boot, I had just dyed my hair red from blonde. I am the Lady of the Forest. Continue Reading…

Never underestimate the power of a good coat.

It was Oct 20th this years that we traveled to Szeged, Hungary, just 100km away from Timisoara. Me and my boyfriend celebrated our one year anniversary. It is him that will do most of my photos on this blog. Continue Reading…
