Let the picture paint itself...

Hi guys,

After 4 wonderful days in Paris, we paid a one day visit to Versailles before hitting the road to Loire Valley. I'm not done with my Parisian adventure just yet, but I was just so excited about Versailles I could't wait to show you photos from that day.

Versailles is truly spectacular, with its amazing display of architectural and landscapes design. There's not much I can say to describe the beauty of this place. The best thing would be to let the pictures tell the story!

Have an amazing week!

Holiday Countdown

Hi guys,

Smells like holiday spirit! One week from now I will be in France and I'm beyond excited. I've been super busy lately, getting everything ready for our trip...doing tons of laundry, ironing (my least favorite activity), making lists, checking on weather  updates, daydreaming of those sweet moments when I'll get away from all the stress and simply relax!

My boyfriend is a very talented photographer (he takes all my outfit pictures and I'm forever grateful). Usually, on our trips, he takes a gazillion pictures, which is a fun yet tiring activity. Soooo, I decided to spare him the burden of my weekly photo-shoots  until we leave for France. This is me, always so supportive and understanding...(let this be our little secret, but it wasn't actually my decision :), he was like: "Outfit pictures or holiday pictures, you choose!" :P). I'll try to work my magic so as to squeeze in one last session before leaving...but we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping that the "very talented photographer" statement above will do the trick! :))

This being said, the final countdown has officially started! Yeeeeey! Overexcited kid!

Hugs,

Weekend Joy

Hi guys,

After Monday to Friday madness, it's finally time for some weekend happiness! Between cleaning the house, doing laundry and grocery shopping (hey, happiness comes from simple things, ha ha), we managed to squeeze in a little visit to the Botanical Garden. It was really nice and quiet and I very much enjoyed this mini trip.

I was waiting for my parents to come stay with us for the weekend, but unfortunately my father got caught up at work so they won't be able to arrive untill tomorrow morning. Bummer!

So, with the house being clean and the fridge being full, it's time for some Dirty Dancing and heavy eating :P!

I recently decided to re-watch some of my favorite movies, it's kind of my newest weekend tradition. Some of them I watched as a kid, so it will be interesting to see my adult perspective on them...Nobody puts Baby in the corner! :)

I wish you all the most amazing weekend!

Love,

Summerish Spring

Hi guys,

Let's start with the most important thing: today was Labor Day which means I didn't go to work (Yeeeey!).

In Romania, 1st of May is also "Going to the seaside day" for the majority of young people who want to get drunk and party hard :). It's becoming quite the tradition to go to resorts like Vama Veche on Labor Day, and even though I could easily integrate with all the rockers, hippies and other free spirits (:P), it never became "my thing" to do this. Instead, I would usually plan this big barbecue with my friends, somewhere outside the city.

This year though, I decided to just chill at home with my boyfriend. We woke up late, ate lunch at our favorite nearby restaurant, basically just relaxed! It's funny how doing such ordinary things can make you so happy! I wasn't at all envious of some of my acquaintances/ co workers posting photos from the seaside on their Facebook page, or of the smell of barbecue coming from virtually everywhere. I ate pasta and drank lemonade and it was awesome!

Now I have to gear up for Easter! Spending quality time with family and eating tons of homemade goodies! God, I love holidays! :)

Hugs,

Mamalina
