Who needs a Christmas tree when you’ve got me?

I usually go for sticking some tinsel up my pants and saying I’ve got a tail, but this year I wanted to be as shiny as the tree and what wouldn’t a father do for their daughter?

One of the few good things that come with having split parents is celebrating Christmas twice. Although as I think if it now, it’s more sad than fun actually. Like a constant reminder that you’ll never have a big, loving family to sit in front of the fireplace and sing carols with. But making myself sad wasn’t the point of writing this post, therefore I should stop here.

Typically, I took a picture of the tree before we decorated it, but forgot to take one after. I’ve got a thing for B&W Christmas photography. It tones the tackiness down a little.

Here’s my brother, showing off his (non alcoholic, of course) beer. Proud midget. DSC_1592

We had a not very traditional dinner and what’s  a decorated tree without a cheesy family portrait beside it?

I need to go now for my house is getting filled by relatives and people I had no idea I’m related to, but that’s ok. It’s Christmas. They’d better not touch my cake, though.

Transylvanian Beauty

No, I have not met a hot vampire and convinced him do to an artistic nude photoshoot for me, just to clear out any misunderstandings :D A few weeks ago I’ve been in a road trip with my class to have some fun before out term papers and we visited a beautiful city called Brasov. On our way we stopped to visit a castle called Peles. Most of my classmates had been there before and said it was boring but I was spazzing (even if I had barely slept three hours the previous night) and my princess complex kicked in so you could only imagine how I was running around with a mad grin plastered to my face, photographing everything in sight. Sadly, it was rather cloudy and the sun was setting by the time we got there so the pictures didn’t turn out as well as I was hoping they would, but they still manage to capture the beauty I want to share with you.

The castle was up on a hill so we had to walk a little, but I didn’t mind. It was one of the last autumn weeks so the forest still looked as if it was on fire. Riveting beauty.

The Castle <3 Unfortunately we couldn’t go inside since it was being renovated but even so, it was worth it. It made me wish I was a princess. Or a maiden. Or a horse, really, anything to live there.

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Have a lovely day, no matter where or who you are :) Thank you for reading!

Lover to lover

My beloved blog and readers, I present you the beginning of a new era. That sounds too dramatic, doesn’t it? I can’t help it, I’m incredibly happy. Look what I got today! It’s obviously not bought on a whim, I’ve been struggling to raise money for this camera for two years and my parents finally took pity on me and said I’ll pay what I have and they’ll pay the rest and here is my Christmas present :D I still can’t believe my eyes when I see the boxes scattered around the room and my lovely camera sitting beside me on the bed. I have big plans and projects in my mind, but I’ll keep you guessing for now :) I hope you had a day at least half as amazing as mine. Sleep tight!

Meet my beautiful baby boy

Hey guys, as promised, I present you my beautiful baby husky named Hunter! He’s a hyperactive six week old ball of fluff filled with love and goofyness! We got him last Saturday and he’s doing a great job adjusting to his new home :)

I already love him, but how couldn’t anyone fall in love with such a beautiful, lovable creature? I hope he’ll enjoy his new family as much as we adore him. 

Hunter kisses all my lovely readers and hopes you enjoyed this little introductory post. You’ll hear more about him in the future for sure :) Thank you for reading!

A new beginning

Everyone says spring is the perfect season for fresh starts, right? Well, me and mom will be taking advantage of that to renovate our house. We’ve been living here for ten years and we both have been feeling that all these old items and memories these walls held have been keeping us stuck in the past. So we are going to change everything, from furniture to decorations to the paintings on the walls.

I was pretty much against changing my room in the beginning since I loved it so much, but I realized living in the past will not help me in any way and I need a fresh start.

To sum it up, we are moving in an apartment for a few months until the house will be renovated. We are supposed to move tomorrow, so this week has been hectic. We’ve started packing since Monday and I haven’t had much free time, hence the lack of updates. I’ve carried so many boxes I can’t get rid of my back ache no matter what I do and until today I didn’t have an internet connection either.

I am really sorry for the lack of blog posts, but as you’ve read, I’ve been really busy. I took a lot of photos these days, of what my home used to look like too, so please look forward to it!

Also this Monday will be a very special day and I am SO anxious. There will be this Japan Related festival in my city (Read more about it here) and they have organized a contest to select their official blogger. I applied and did my best to stand out and on Monday they’re announcing the winner and I’m so jdasdkaljdkaj worried and anxious because it would be a dream come true. Both Japan and blogging mean so, so much to me…

Thank you for reading and wish me luck!

Untitled

Browsing through this blog, I realized I must seem a pretty shallow person in your eyes. Fashion, makeup, fancy places it’s all I’ve written about. But I’m so much more than that, I can’t figure out why I haven’t posted anything more, let’s say, deep. Maybe because I’m a pretty shy person and it takes me a while to find the words to describe the way I feel or what I really think. But I promise you, I’m more than a pretty face and a nice style. I just need some time to open up and get used to this blog too.

Okay how can one get used to their own blog, you might question.

I’ve been blogging on tumblr and blogspot before and both times it took me a while to get used to my readers, and most importantly, to the site itself. The way this page, in which I’m writing looks like. Sometimes, while posting a fashion post, when I can’t find my inspiration I go and write it on tumblr and paste it here, because there I feel more relaxed and I’m familiarized with the page layout.

I know you ARE following me for the ~shallow~ posts, but personally even when reading fashion blogs I love seeing little posts with more actual details from the owner’s life and mind than pictures, pictures and pictures. So look forward to getting to know me better from now on : )
