just yesterday

Sometimes you forget how is it like being simple and young. Today I decided to watch The Little Mermaid in my Minnie Mouse tee. Silly, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

haute couture

Anna Dello Russo's TOP 10 rules for attending a gala:

1. It's Prohibited choose the wrong OUTFIT.
Look and look again hundred thousand times
all the shows on Vogue.com.

2. Opt for the HAUTE COUTURE.
You only live once!

3. For at least a month before, prepare your
BODY with an iron DETOX discipline and
a daily TRAINING.
You must be radiant!

4. Choose a long evening GOWN.
Unless you don't have the Giselle's body
not wear a short dress!

5. Put some beautiful SHOES with which
walk straight and FIERCE.
Your legs cannot wobbling over
HELLS exceeding 11 cm.

6. MAKEUP and HAIR:
Here you can exaggerate!
You have to invent a character,
you'll transform into another woman,
give her another name
and you'll feel more SECURE.

7. Strictly: JEWEL-CLUTCH in hand.

8. Leave your WATCH at home, even if precious,
cause it may be unkind to those who invited you.

9. Rigorously forbidden to take iPhone pics
at VIP'S and CELEBS!

10. When you get to that very long,
dreadful RED CARPET,
take a deep breath and SMILE

mint

It was scorching hot but then it rained, and rained? I really don't understand how the weather works. Anyway, I just got back from rainy cold Istanbul and had the most amazing "wet" hamburger ever at Taksim Square. Funny how food completes ones trip - if you ever pop by Istanbul make sure you have one!

april


Back from my rainy weekend at Istanbul and thank God I managed to satisfy my lamb kebab cravings.

Refreshing my skin with this oxygen mask – love Oxymask

Searching and (yay!) finding a pair of pretty ballerinas and a camera. Will tell you more about them in May.

Falling in love with everything Hermes and adding it to my wish list.

Stocking up on gorgeous scented candles - Diptyque, you're on my list

Drinking cups and cups of manuka honey water

Looking forward to my next holiday destination! Before you know it, I'm packing and unpacking again

Have a good week everyone!

friday, again

Watched Eat, Pray, Love for the second time - I hopelessly crave Rome and Bali. In order of importance and desperation, I choose Bali.

Can you imagine? Reading a book nestled among soft pillows and swaying gently in the breeze while suspended above a grassy field full of flowers or a slow moving river? Not really sure how am I supposed to get out of the rest though..
