Sweet Memories - Barcelona. Part 2

Here is the last post about my trip to my favourite city - Barcelona. There are not so many touristic places or monuments on these pictures, but still these pictures are my favourites. They had been  made during the last 3 days of my trip, when my (at that time) "future-boyfiriend" came to visit me. You know... It was really fantastic to spend some days together in Barcelona, to walk hand in hand down La Rambla street, to stay in cosy little bars and to be so happy!)

Sweet memories - Barcelona 2011

A little bit more than a year ago, I with my good friend Diana, visited Barcelona. This trip was one one the best in my life, it was full of nice, funny, exciting and romantic moments, that I still remember.One day of our trip we decided to visit Gaudi's masterpieces: Basilica de la Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera.I can't explain, how excited I was, Gaudi really made amazing things, his style is so special. Unfortunately, photos can't transfer all this beauty, but i want to share it with you. My dear readers, have you ever been in Barcelona? What of the Gaudi's buildings do you like more?

Birthday Present!

Two weeks ago my beloved boyfriend had a Birthday. Unfortunately, I could't come to Palermo and congratulate him personally, because I had to prepare fo my exams..( However, I wanted to do something really special for him and to show how much I Love and Miss him.

So, I decided to make him a romantic birthday video.

He was so excited and moved by my present! And I was happy that he liked it!

Today I decided to share this video with you - and I hope, you'll like it!))

Love and be loved, my dear readers. It's the best thing in the Universe!

University Days - Final exams

Because of the exams, I don't have enough time neither for entertainment, nor for blogging... Yes, I'm really a model pupil! :))

On Tuesday I passed my first State exam and I'm very glad about my results. 

I't well-known, that student's dress code for exams is formal, but I thought that ordinary "Black and white" outfit would be too boring for summer. That's why I decided to wear stylish Oasap shirt with Green trousers. I think, it's a nice alternative to the dull formal uniform! Do you like it?)

From Sicily with Love. Part 1 - Palermo

Sicily is sunny, britht and juicy. It's like a mixed salad. It's well-known that Sicily was dominated by different nations and cultures at different times, and it have definitely taken in from them all the best.

It is like a mixed salad with various ingridients, that produce magnificent taste:you can find there a great variety of beaches (both, sandy and pebble); mountains with wonderful views, and even the active volcano Etna.

My trip to Sicily started with it's capital city - Palermo. 

This city is very colourful and interesting. For the main touristic attractions I suggest you to go to the city center. There I'd recommend you to visit the Cathedral of Palermo ( It is characterized by the presence of different styles, due to a long history of additions, alterations and restorations, the last of which occurred in the 18th century.   However, this eclectic appearance makes it look even more charming); you should surely visit  Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele (it's one of the biggest theaters in Europe), as well as Piazza Pretoria and Palazzo dei Normanni. 

To hide from the sun and to adimre different exotic plants you can to to Botanical Garden and then to take a stroll along the promenade.

If you want to try local food I stongly recommend you Antica Foccaceria San Francesco (Via Alessandro Paternostro 58). In addition to typical Sicilian dishes you can try sandwiched with spleen! (Maybe it sounds not so nice, but it tasetes really delicious!))

To Be Continued...

!!! My Russian-speaking readers can read the article about my trip on LOCALS.MD. There are also many pictures from the different places in Sicily. I hope, you'll like it!!!! 

Sunny Evening

 Last days, weather in Chisinau (my hometown) is really crazy! It's too hot for spring!

So, the only possibility to take a stroll and to enjoy it - is to go outside in the evening. For this walks I prefer something simple and comfortable, like jeans and t-shirts!

Here are some pictures that were made today in course of airing in Botanic Garden. Thanks to photographer  Serjio!

My today's song-mood:

Streets of Love

Although I usually wear more romantic and "girlish" outfits, sometimes I feel like wearing something more aggressive in a rock-style. When I found this black maxi tunk dress in a flea market I'd instantly created in my imagination a perfect "rock" outfit with it.  

Few days ago I went for a walk with my friend Serjio to take pictures, but  next time I would definitely wear it for a rock-concert. :)

It has been a lot said about Trend colours of this season - pastel green and mint. These colours are everywhere now - you can find dresses, skirts, shoes.. whatever, of these delicate, girlish colours.

Amazing Jacket and Floral Print

I fell in love at first sight with this wonderful printed silk faille jacket by Mary Katrantzou. (by the way, the whole collection SS 2012 is fantastic, isn't it?) I think that it's not only a well-crafted stylish piece of clothing, it's really a work of art. Everything there is beautiful: fabric, design, print.I love biker jackets so much and the thing that it's an unusual biker’s jacket that comes with the digital blooms design seemed very interesting to me. It is set in silk  with a very feminine mix of all its flowery design. It is very luxurious looking for a biker’s jacket and gives just the right and perfect boy meets girl design. 

I created for myself a perfect outfit with this jacket - simple, but ath the same time very chic. Do you like it?

However, as you might have noticed there were loads of other floral-printed items on the Spring-Summer 2012 runway.  I really like this trend, it's very feminine fresh and bright, like Nature itself, it makes every girl and woman look so romantic and cute. So, Floral Prints is my choice for this Spring!
