De vacaciones...

We recently returned from one of the best holidays ever: 3 nights in Barcelona, 6 in Tenerife and 1 in Bergamo! It was absoltely amazing...wonderful people, impressive lanscapes and architecture, adorable food and here and there a bit of shopping, as every girl's wardrobe needs a small refresher now and then:) Below is a small selection of places I loved and food I enjoyed in Tenerife, a heavenly Canarian island that I 100% recommend. It's exotic, misterious, so different and uniquely beautiful and so far away from Europe...Lay back and enjoy :)

Meelusha's Tips:

• Rent a car! Tenerife is a great island to explore, so it's worth investing in a car for the stay in order to be mobile and see all this magic island has to offer
• Playa de las Teresitas cannot be missed: great golden sand, clear water, an authentic Cubano feeling (try out the snack van on the beach) and definitely climb up the hill for a breathtaking view!
• Visit Loro Parque! It's an amazing encounter with nature, it's as close as you can get to fascinating parrots, as you can actually feed them :)
• Best paella ever: in the charming village of Candelaria, in the main square, the restaurant closest to the shore. It was mouthwathering, 110% delish!...and very cheap!
• Pack your hiking gear and a warm jacket next to the beach stuff: The highest mountain peak in Spain (the El Teide volcano) offers great trails in the surrounding natural park. Be prepared for snow in the hot summer:)
• Reserve a day for the Siam Thai Aqua Park! It's the largest water fun park in Europe with plenty of highlights and a definite goose bump and adrenalin rush quarantee!
• The south-eastern part of the island has the best weather, so if you plan a less mobile stay, then book your hotel here. The north-east is windier, while the western side has more rainy days (only rain we got was when we went to Loro Parque in the north west). Overall the north and the west are cooler.

 

In case I have awakened your appetite for Tenerife, drop me an e-mail and I'll be glad to share some more touristic details with you :)

On the last day of summer...

Last saturday we still had a really crazy temperature of around 40 degrees, so me and my baby went off to the park to relax by the lake with birds singing, swans swimming around and a cool lake breeze...accompanied by the Coco Chanel biography I am delighted to read right now.

I chose to wear my london vintage acquisition in terms of dresses, accesorized with a Stradivarius brown belt, H&M wedges and a coral flower in the hair. The bag I'm wearing is a very special piece from the 70s, handmade by my mom and one of my wardrobe darlings!

Feel a bit inspirationless for dressing up in warmer clothes since the chilly weather came so unexpected...but a bit of shopping to refresh my closet will most probably solve this issue :) Am so looking forward to shopping in Barcelonaaaaaa!

Pale Yellow Lace & a Jazz Night

Saturday night, on the way to meet some very dear friends and enjoy good food, a romantic garden and wonderful jazz music at Shift, downtown Bucharest...definitely a night to remember!






I was wearing a cute little, pale yellow lace dress I got from Primark on my London trip (and this is on of my dresses for which I paid the least amount of money, but received the most compliments!!!), a flowery vintage clutch and brown belt, H&M brown leather wedges and beads in two shades of brown to complete the look!

Hugs,
Meelusha
P.S.: Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, but they were taken with my phone. A more clear one, taken with a real camera :) at home shows the outfit details much better.

Amazing Swimwear...Summer please stay!

Hey Sweeties,

I know summer is almost over...but since it's still hot outside and my sea-side vacation to Tenerife is coming up in 10 days :), I can't help thinking about sandy, sunny beaches, turqouise waters... and swimwear!

On http://www.swimwearworld.com/ you can find some really cute pieces and the best thing is they are on sale!!! Hurry up, or they might be gone. Those guys ship worldwide, so that should be no issue, wherever you are.

Here are my favourite picks:

Walking the Fashion Street in Red, Stripes & Jeans

Yup, this is MY street for sure! Should get a flat there and change my ID address to this one. Fashion Street is located in London East End, for those who wanna check it out:)

I'm wearing a Levi's jeans jacket, a red vintage skirt and a striped Mango shirt. Bag is from Parfois.

My London Vintage Finds

I know I was long overdue with this post...but finally it's here! Please enjoy my wonderful vintage treasures acquired in London, mostly Spitalfields Markest in the East End.

A lovely fuchsia cardigan (lambs wool & angora), a wonderful summer dress and two cute little leather belts...Was not intending to wear this outfit as such and only put it together for taking a pic, but ...to be honest...I think I got something really nice here and I'm most def gonna wear it this autumn.


Couldn't have left London without them, my ugly little Oxford shoes...and then there was this gorgeous Aigner scarf that I had to take home with me as well :)


And I also found those amazing little treasures smiling back at me on a Spitafields table filled with junk and vintage wonders at the same time! Viva Chile!


Hugs and hope you like 'em,

Style Icon - Victoria B

I really, really like Victoria's glamour style and the feminity she brought back into the real world, off the catwalks.

Wrote the below for a Glamour magazine contest and won a really cool price :)

Dragele mele,
Victoria Beckham reprezinta cu adevarat feminitatea, eleganta si glamour-ul care lipsesc sau devin tot mai rare in lumea nebuna de azi, in care doamnele si domnisoarele de mult prea multe ori uita sa fie cu adevarat femei si feminine. Victoria a readus parca clasa si stilul in lumea modei de dincolo de podiumuri, vitrine si reviste glossy, unde inca mai intalnim feminitate, ea a readus stralucirea din nou in lumea reala si din nou in viata de zi cu zi: pe stadionul de fotbal, la shopping, in drumul spre scoala al baietilor ei...

O femeie superba, tot timpul aranjata, tot timpul sic, cu outfit-uri perfect potrivite care "urla" glamour si sex appeal din fiecare centimetru, cu tocurile cui nelipsite, care deja au consacrat-o, o femeie cu extraordinar de mult stil, care de fiecare data te face sa te gandesti: WOW, how does she do it? Si desi e extrem de sexy, nu e niciodata vulgara, ci o adevarata contesa a modei contemporane.

Ce este cu adevarat fascinat este ca dincolo de zambetul rece si perfectiunea spre care tinde ca stil vestimentar, Victoria este o femeie normala, cu defecte ca oricare dintre noi, o personalitate calda si placuta, o mama iubitoare si o sotie extrem de devotata, deloc aroganta sau infumurata. Un interviu televizat cu ea, zambind si glumind degajat, iti poate schimba complet parerea despre omul Victoria B. Este impresionat cand te poti juca cu moda, cu impresiile pe care le lasi, cu imaginea pe care ti-o creezi, fara sa iti pierzi insa identitatea, iar ea o face intr-un mod extraordinar.

Pe langa fashion icon, mamica si sotie de fotbalist, Victoria este o femeie de afaceri de succes. Daca majoritatea nevestelor de fotbalist se potrivesc perfect in cliseul "tocatoarelor de bani", Victoria nu s-a multumit cu un astfel de statut. Ambitia si personalitatea ei puternica si complexa nu au lasat-o sa stea in umbra sotului, iar rezultatele si succesul dobandit, dovedesc ca a facut alegerea corecta.

Si nu in ultimul rand, Victoria confirma zicala cum ca in spatele unui barbat puternic, se afla intotdeauna o femeie puternica, ea fiind cea care prin dibacia ei mediatica si talentul stilistic a facut din David un sex simbol mondial, dandu-i totodata stabilitatea si sprijinul necesar unei cariere istorice in fotbal.

Pentru toate acestea o admir, o respect si imi place enorm the one and only Victoria Beckham!


For those who can't read it, just enjoy some of my favourite Victoria B looks!

I really loved Victoria's shoot for Glamour mag (older issue, I know, but only got to post this now :):






Love those Victoria looks as well :) She really looks amazing even when she's going for a casual look like in the last pic shot at the airport!








Hugs & Kisses,
Meelusha
