Spanish Travel Diary: Day 1 - Rosas & Barcelona September 20 2016, 1 Comment

Rosas is an essentially Mediterranean town with a notable tourist and seafaring tradition. Located in a unique natural environment in the northern area of the Costa Brava, it is less than 30 km from the French border and 160 km from Barcelona, so therefore it was my first stop on a "Spanish" tour. Rosas origins date back to the eighth century BC with the arrival of the Greeks. It is a modern town, which is culturally active with its proud traditions. It offers excellent shopping, restaurants, bars, beautiful beaches and fun nightlife. 
Rosas is near to some of the most attractive and least crowded beaches of the Costa Brava. Just down the road, the vast stretch of beach runs all the way to historic Sant Martí de Empuries.
After enjoying Rosas, there comes the outstanding 
Barcelona with i's historic sights, fantastic restaurants with delicious tapas, world-class museums and art galleries. Heaven for every artistic soul...
Always inspired by great architecture, the first thing to see in Barcelona was Antonio Gaudi's magnum opus, the most visited monument in Barcelona, church Sagrada Familia. With its most amazing arches, towers and Nativity facade, Sagrada Familia truly is a masterpiece like no other. La Pedrera is another Gaudi's jewel worth visiting. Apartment building, 
commissioned in 1906 by businessman Pere Milà i Camps and his wife Roser Segimon i Artells, is the result of two buildings, which are structured around two courtyards that provide light to the nine levels: basement, ground floor, mezzanine, main or noble floor, four upper floors, and an attic, distributing 20 homes for rent. One of the most significant parts of the building is definitely the roof with skylights, staircase exits, fans and chimneys. All of these elements are constructed from timbrel and coated with limestone, broken marble or glass and have become real sculptures integrated into the building.
Amazing to see is also Barcelona Cathedral. Gothic cathedral, dedicated to young virgin Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, whose body is entombed in the cathedral's crypt, has an outstanding chapels and crypt with beautiful atrium, where you'll find cathedral's garden, fountain and even geese. 

Let me close this blog post with the most amazing thought: "Each makes use of the gift God has given them. Developing this gifts is the highest social perfection. One who builds and must do things should not criticize the works of others, nor defend their own, but make and direct criticisms against their own works to purify and improve them."
Antonio Gaudi

My Personal Style: Lost In Provencal Fields... September 12 2016, 3 Comments

I consider myself lucky. Very lucky. I found my heaven on Earth and it's called Plateu de Valensole...
The city of Valensole is located south east of France. Magical lavender fields with hypnotic smell, millions of bees and butterflies, delicious food and beautiful streets - yes, this is what I call heaven on Earth. 
It is a pleasure to stroll through the narrow streets of the old city and it's also a health resort well appreciated for its pure fresh air.
Situated in the middle of a magnificent plateau of lavender and almond trees, aromas waft through the air confirming the fact that Valensole is one of the most important producers of lavender in Provence and truly a place to charge your energy, spoil all your senses and rest your mind and soul.
With the outstanding scenery of purple, white lace gown was a look to go for, creating a subtle and romantic yet sexy and bold look...

My Personal Style: Adding Drama To An Outfit February 04 2016, 5 Comments

Adding drama to an outfit is a fun and exciting way to create interest.  Drama isn’t reserved just for fancy events, but can be applied to everyday style.  Today’s look I added two pieces that create drama – over the knee boots and a flowing trench coat.  Longer length pieces inherently create drama.  My trench creates drama not only because of the length, but also in its movement when it dances with the wind.   For the sake of today’s post, I am focusing on longer length pieces to create dramatic interest.   I chose high boots and a long trench, but also try longer tops (high-low tops work great too), long scarves, wearing a dress as a top paired with pants underneath, or even wearing super long, street skimming flares paired with high heels or platforms to create that extra level of excitement.  When pieces stand apart because of their longer length it creates eye-catching interest and elevates the outfit.
