Happy B-day

Better late than ever …


As some of you know, my birthday was last August 25.


I know it’s late to give you the inside scoop, but I want to share with you my b-day party
















Europe part III

Hey !


God! I need to finish talking about my trip…. There’s too much to say….and I feel really frustrated because I haven’t written in a whole month!!


I forgot to write about some other French small beautiful cities …such as Arles, Avignon and Carcassonne ( where I bought tons of incredible unique jewelry)


Ok…so. Let’s talk about Spain, a country full of happiness and party. I really had fun over there.

We visited cities such as Zaragoza, Puerto Lapice , Torre Molinos, Toledo ( I loved that city is FULL of history), and Cordoba.
Also we went to really important cities, you know: Madrid, Barcelona and Seville.

Seville, is a cute town with great shopping and pretty scenery, were I bought a wonderful red dress that is totally flattering! I wore it to the Flamenco show (which I loved…the music and dance were fantastic)


Madrid is a really big city, we toured around the Spanish capital, and we had the greatest shopping time ever, I literally shopped until I dropped there!
I LOVED that city!!

Barcelona was also a gorgeous place (all the stores were closed because it was Sunday though!!) but I had enough to have fun walking down the “Ramblas” and listening to the interesting facts our guide was telling us …

After Spain we spent a day in Morocco, an amazing country full of culture, I learned tons of things over there.

The best part was when I rode a camel! I also loved the food, and all the cosmetics I bought.

To make it short, I’ll go on with Portugal now, but let me assure you that the Morocco’s wonders are infinite.


In our way to Lisbon we made a quick stop at Evora, a small cute city; and then we arrived at the Portuguese capital that became one of my favorite cities because of its charm.
We also had a one day trip to Sintra, where we ate “quesadas” ..mm delicious!

I had an excellent time and enjoyed my last days in Europe…and without a doubt the shopping was great in Lisbon!

Europe part II

Hi fashion kitties!

This is the second part of my wonderful trip to Europe; I’m going to write about Italy and the Côte d'Azur

After seeing the wonders of Austria we went straight to Italy, going through cities such as Verona, San Francisco de Assisi, San Antonio de Padua, Siena, and obviously Rome, Florence and Venice.

Venice is a wonderful place, even thought I was really disappointed at seeing that my gondolier wasn’t wearing the typical custom! And he didn’t sing…!

But the best of that city was the stylish pair of original Christian Dior sunglasses I bought over there… my best buy in the entire trip! (I know you must be eager to see them, but the glasses deserve a separate post!)

I didn’t stay in a hotel in Venice, but my group and I stayed at a nearby town called Caorle.

Oh god….we had the worst night ever, imagine…the waitress fell in love with our tour director (he is British and damn hot! So I don’t blame her), the hostess was a hysterical witch that shout at us all night long, and a friend’s room flooded!

But after all, I ended up finding it funny, and as another anecdote to tell.

Rome was a really exciting city, with a lot of history in its street, and I must say it wasn’t one of my favorites but the view from behind the Coliseum was totally pretty.

Hahaha and OMG…I remember all the just married couples that were taking their wedding pictures in that zone, they were sooooo cute! But the couple that stole all the attention arrived with a whole clan in motorcycles, and took really funny pictures; ahah I bet it was an unforgettable marital photo shoot.

Ohh and what to say about Florence…. Certainly the best of Italy, a classical city, with cobble stone

streets, and tons of culture, home of my new love affair: David! (ok I’m talking about Michael Angelo’s David….if you have the chance to visit Florence, you MUST see that gorgeous sculpture)

Mmm I think I’m done with Italy, Now lets go to the French Riviera!!

Monaco, Eze, Nimes, Nice,Grasse…

All of those places are full with luxury and glamour, with all the expensive chocolate and perfume factories, the yachts on the pier, the fine designer stores…

Woooowww

Spain, Morrocoo and Portugal will wait for you in the next post!

Byeee

Oh and my b-day was last august 25!! I’ll give you the inside scoop soon!

XOXO
