Dream Trip

Waking up on a Saturday morning at 7 a.m.? Then going to school? For some, it might sound like a nightmare, but for me... for me it meant travelling to some of my favourite European countries. An amazing trip, filled with dozens of oportunities of sweet memory making, laughters and delight. A culinary trip, that is! My highschool celebrated today the International Day of Plurilinguism which happened, actually, on the 26th of September. I was in charge of organising the event and I must say it turned out incredibly well. People got to sing in a quite unique spontaneous talent show, rocked some famous tunes in karaoke and, not to mention, ate to the verge of meltdown. The foods were very well prepared, lovely presented and their tastes shall not be soon forgotten. I got to cook for my love-country, United Kingdom and I chose for the ocasion Butterscotch, Peppermint Creams and Apple Crumble (they turned out quite ok, considering the night me and The Beau spent working on them).
Also, I got the oportunity to sport out some of my newest acquisitions: a lovely silk H&M sleeveless shirt, a Moschino-inspired New Yorker belt and, what freshly came in the mail yesterday, one of my Shine bracelets! I felt so chic and comfy in the outfit I eventually wore!

Saint Alexander's

My favorite day of the year is my birthday! And if that's too many months away, I can settle for my name-day. Yes, you've heard correctly: it's Saint Alexander's day and the day has been of surprises so far. First of all, I got a package from Shine Accesories with a necklace that I had been craving for for a while now.It's wooden and the colors are quite vibrant, perfect for brightening an autumn outfit or simply for remembering the hot summer days that are just passing. I cannot wait to style it and present it in an outfit post( especially since I haven't done many of those in a while now).
Secondly, while I was looking for a bathing suit today (and I got one, but that's gonna be the subject of another future post), I called on Maria, one of my closest and dearest friends. And guess what? She surprised me with a little muffin-ish cake with a cute red candle in it and yelling: Happy Name-day! I felt so special when she then proceeded in hugging me and almost bursted into tears! Of joy, ofcourse! Afterwards we went to my place and celebrated with some grilled chicken and lemon-beer:)
It's been one of the most special days of my year so far and one of the most full in feelings of joy and happiness!

Magical Shoes for Holiday Magic

Since it's St. Nicholas' tomorrow, these would make an amazint gift for any girl or woman you love.

Anticipation… Silence… The wind’s rustle in the window corners… English porcelain and

Bohemian crystal… Candles in silver lampstands and the noise of the rain… Gingerbread,

colored icing and cinnamon… Everything is ready, the guests should arrive shortly… But first,

he will arrive… The impatience and excitement refresh her face…

Everything will change in a few moments, the house will be flooded with light and guests,

precious necklaces will sparkle in crystal dreams. He will stand next to her and together, they

will float through the holiday air. Drops of music start to enliven the atmosphere, the lights

come up one by one in the big house. Everything starts to shine lightly, to match her eyes. Any

time now…

She starts dreaming about the magical days coming. She puts on the jewelry like shoes when

she hears steps up the staircase… He is here!

Cum maine e Sf. Nicolae, pantofii acestia sunt cadoul perfect pentru orice fata sau femeie pe care o iubesti.

Asteptare… Liniste… Fosnetul vântului în colturile ferestrelor… Portelan englezesc si cristal de

Boemia… Lumânări în sfesnice de argint si zgomot de ploaie… Turtă dulce, glazură colorată si

scoryisoară… Totul este pregătit, invitatii trebuie să sosească… Dar întâi va veni el…

Nerăbdarea si emotia îi împrospătează chipul…

Totul se va schimba în câteva momente, casa va fi inundata de lumina si invitati, coliere

pretioase vor străluci în vise de cristal. El îi va sta alături si vor pluti, împreuna, prin aerul de

sărbătoare. Picături de muzica încep sa înveselească atmosfera, luminile se aprind în casa

mare… Totul începe să strălucească usor pentru a se asorta cu ochii ei… Mai e putin.

Începe să viseze la zilele pline de magie care urmează. Încaltă pantofii bijuterie când aude pasi

pe scări…. A venit el!
