ENG: These photos are from historical part of Istanbul, called The Old city. Against of the gray background of ancient walls, my floral outfit looks not so gaudily and annoying. Also for long-distance walking I choose brown sandals and backpack (you can put there many useful things). Let’s enjoy pictures together!
RU: Эти фото были сделаны в исторической части города – в районе Султанахмед. На фоне серых стен крепостей и старинных мечетей, мой буйно цветочный выглядит довольно органично. Для длительных прогулок нужна удобная обувь, например, мои любимые сандалии, которые я не снимала все лето.  И конечно же, объемный рюкзак, в который помещаются множество полезных вещей.  Смотрим фото!
 
TR: Herkese merhaba. Yeni kolajımı istanbulun tarihi ve turistik bir ilçesi olan Sultanahmetde gerçekleştirdim. Tarihi eski gri tonlarında duvarlar, çiçek desenli kıyafetimi daha çok ortaya çıkardı. Uzun yürüyüşler için rahat sandaletlerimi tercih ettim. İçine her türlü eşyayı koyabileceğim sırt çantamıda unutmadım. Umarım beğenirsiniz. Herkese iyi haftalar...

ENG: Hi, my dear readers! I know that there’re many great bloggers among my followers and just stylish and beautiful girls. Anyway, I’m wondering about one thing: what for do you like to spend your money – cosmetic or clothes? Of course if we have a possibility we can spend equal, but our budgets are limited sometimes. I’m not so much passionate about cosmetics; I have just what I need. I’ll not buy 10th shower gel or lipstick just because it smells good or has adorable cover. But I really hopeless about bags, shoes, jewels and clothes. So, for not become like a girl from «Confessions of a Shopaholic» movie, I’m doing the list what I need to buy and trying stick to it. Also outlets and seasons sells are helpful but damn it: new season’s items are so attractive! I need pills from greediness and take away from me my credit card!:)
I’ve put some infographics after the text, it shows how much money women spend in USA for being beautiful.
So, friends how do you planning your spends and what do you prefer more? I’m looking forwards for your experience and advices!

ENG: Hi friends! What did you dream about in childhood? I wanted to become an astronomer. I was so excited when my mom’s returned from business trim and brought me a huge Astronomy Encyclopedia! We become elder, our targets are changing, but we still have these child’s dreams. I have warm feeling to this science yet and when I’ve heart about space exhibition, I went of course! Space travels also have been started with a dream of math teacher and after few decades people made it true. So, don’t be afraid to dream!


ENG: Hi friends! These photos were shot yesterday, during my walk. I really enjoy of reading books and checking bookstores or book fairs. I think new gadgets will never replace it. Book has special amazing smell; it’s a pleasure to keep it in hands and flipping pages.
What about you guys? Are you books lovers also?
My outfit is so comfortable today; nothing should disturb me during hunt for books)
Have a nice weekend!


Hi my dear readers! I’m a bit busy these days and not writing pretty much. Actually I have a reason for it: I have guest in my house for two weeks. Dasha is one of my best friends; we’ve been together since childhood. I still remember when I saw her first time: she sited on the desk in front of me in first school day. We’re like sever years old. It’s different times, sometimes we couldn’t talk for several mounts, and we’re busy, after finishing school we studied in different cities, but anyway we’ve have good relations.And now I’m so happy because she’s come to see me in Istanbul. We’re spending really great time together!




Yesterday we’ve attended Fashion’s Night Out in Istanbul. What can I say? Great party, nice music, tasty snacks and drinks, good discounts and fashion people. We’ve spent really good time and got a lot of fun!  Did you go to FNO in your city?

So in few hours summer of 2012 will finish! You should spend this day in really interesting way. There are some advises from Tie Bow-tie how to not get bored in August of 31. Here they are:
1. Try some new cocktails (at morning and non-alcoholic).
2. Escape from gang of crazy cats (we faced with insane animals; they could perfectly suit for «Walking dead» series).
3. Find normal cute cats and shoot some photos.
4. Discover a new shop. We’ve found interesting one with hand-maid clothes.
5. Realize that new wonderful season is coming!



Hi friends! Today we’ll continue your topic about shopping in Istanbul. Let’s talk about shopping centers?! Actually there are a lot of them, I’ll just show you which I like and where I love to shop.
Number one for me is Capacity (upper photo), because it’s so much close to my apartment and it’s full of my beloved brands. It’s located in Bakirkoy district, 10 minutes from Ataturk Airport. You may find there Zara, Mango, Bershka, Forever New (Australian brand of clothes) and a lot of local marcs of clothes and shoes! This shopping place is not so large but there’re a lot of shops (app. 150 stores)! I really like this place!


People who live in bag historical cities sometimes forget how lucky they are! A lot of tourists pay some many; spend much time in flight for seeing you city. But if you live for example in Roma, London, Barcelona or Istanbul you can see each day all those beauty!
So one week ago we’ve decided be like tourists in our city. I and Kseniya went to historical part of Istanbul – Sultanahmet. There are located the great number of historical and culture objects. During walking we’ve made some pictures. Enjoy with us!



I’ve been wanted to write this post since long time ago and at last I’ve made it! Ladies, be ready! I’m gonna tell you (and show) the largest place of jewelry in the world! Yeah, I’m not kidding! Each girl will be crazy there! This wonderful place is located near the Egyptian Bazaar in Istanbul: shops, multi-storied malls and large number of traded just under sky. And the whole place’s filled with bijou.


Today I’ll tell you about small street shops in Istanbul.  There’re a huge number of interesting clothes, shoes and accessories in the latest trends of the season: neon, lace, floral print and marine topic. If you try and spend a little time, you can find very unique items, such as we saw the messenger with shots of our favorite Sex and The City! The quality and the prices are totally different; everyone will find something for himself.
Happy shopping!



Hi friends! It’s getting hotter and hotter with each single day; I really don’t want to leave my apartment much. God save air-condition!  So, during in such hot day we’ve found a lovely café with open terrace. There’s modern interior, delicious meal and pleasant music. But we’ve got different opinions about cuisines. Kseniya prefers Turkish cuisine, I love Italian meal (that’s probably about my trip). We spent good day anyway!
What about you guys, what kind of cuisine do you prefer?   


The first half of the last day we spent in the small town named Castel Gandolfo, which is located 30 km from Rome. Here is the summer residence of the Pope and the incredibly beautiful lake of Albano.


After two days spent in Rome, we decided to visit Florence. In this beautiful city lived the greatest minds of humanity, and also here was the beginning of the Renaissance.
Florence is a four-hour drive from Rome, so we stopped for eating something!

This weekend I spent in Italy, mostly in the Eternal City. Rome simply amazed me with its beauty and grandeur. You will not find so many attractions in more than one city in the world, except here!
Enough talk, you'll see in the photo!
So, first stop - the Vatican, an independent state, headed by the Pope. Here is the biggest area of Rome - St. Peter's Square.
