Not all of those who wander are lost…
This is just a brief hello from Poland where we spent few days during the winter holidays.
I would like to wish you lots of love, happiness, kind people around, health and of course many many travels this year. I personally hit my record in 2025 (visited 23 places) so this year, I would like to focus on fashion and beauty a bit more instead.
Few pics from Tatranszka Bukowina, Morskie Oko (where I experienced the most romantic thing ever- horse sleigh ride) and Zakopane:).

WARNING: This article includes some really PINK CONTENT!
Dreams really do come true…
Wi-Ki-Woo hotel has been on my bucket list for years and I finally had a chance to visit in August. Four days, me and my boo, pink hotel and cute outfits… Sounds like a dream? Yeah, my aesthetic soul was blooming and my Instagram too.
Ibiza is known for its wild parties, but that was definitely not the reason we went. I guess, I just needed some relax and also ton of content:)… The hotel is a masterpiece full of lovely details, Barbie vibes and kind staff. Depending on the season, the prices go from around 300eur per night and it is situated in St. Antonio which is 40 mins from the airport. It is close to the seaside and promenade, but unfortunately there is no beach in the area. You can walk to other ones like Cala Gració or take a taxi and visit one of the most beautiful bays Cala Salada with beautiful turquoise water.
It was a short but beautiful trip and I will not share more photos because we just mostly relaxed by the pool:)…
Let me know if any of you’re planning to visit Ibiza this year:)!

Salut mes amis!
French Riviera wasn’t really on my go-to list initially, but as a child, me and my mum always watched old movies with Louis de Fuines and we loved Saint Tropez and all of the atmosphere around. And when you find an affordable flight from Vienna to Nice for the middle of August, you don’t really hesitate:). We spent 4 days in a private apartment right next to the famous Promenade d’anglais which surrounds the beach in Nice.
The flight only takes 1 hour and 30 mins, so it may be the shortest one I ever took to see the sea. Unfortunately, due to the peak of season, many flights in France are delayed or even cancelled, so it is a bit of risk to take. Anyway, we’re so glad we did it. It was worth 5 hour delay on the way back:(.
Our original plan was to discover Nice, visit Saint Tropez, walk on the red carpet in Cannes and admire luxury of Monaco. And we managed to do it all and a bit more. We spent the first day at the beach in Nice and in the evening, we took a long walk around the coast. The sunsets are always beautiful but this one was a bit special… As I get older, I may appreciate it a bit more, don’t really know, what’s happening.
When it comes to food, the only word that describes it all is: perfect! You can find so many great restaurants in the city centre and the way French eat just makes you wanna eat even if you just finished your dinner:). The portions are large and the quality of ingredients is visible from the first sight. We ate lots of crepes, pasta, soup and more crepes. Le petit dejeuner wasn’t that petit and ice-cream was to die for. French definitely know how to cook, serve, eat and enjoy all of it. I will not comment on the customer service though:(.
Nice is nice
Nice has a great location because of the beautiful sea, mountains and it’s also close to all the other lovely villages of French Riviera. The views are stunning but the streets of its vibrant city might surprise you with the ancient architecture and interesting people. As a person who loves people watching, it was amazing to see and feel the mixture of nationalities, fashion styles and age categories. Place Masséna and the Fontaine du Soleil are simply must-sees and you also can’t miss Gallerie Lafayette for a little window shopping. The port is also worth a visit and in front of it, there are cute cafés with the views of boats.
One day at Saint Tropez
There is no direct train or bus from Nice unfortunately, but you can take a train and change in St. Raphael, it takes around 3 hours. We were too lazy, so we took a taxi for only 170eur one way, oops! The traffic was crazy, but we got there in about 1hour 30 mins. Many yachts on the sea, humid air and crowds of tourists, you’ll definitely know you arrived to Saint Tropez. Our first stop was Gendarmerie nationale where the famous movies with Louis de Fuines were shot, the ticket costs 5 euros and you can sit on his chair, read about his life, see some videos and photos and also visit department of Brigitte Bardot and Romy Schneider. Great experience! Then, we walked to port which is quite close and strolled around the narrow streets. We grabbed lunch at bistro and swam in the sea for a bit.
I honestly don’t know what is all the fuzz about Saint Tropez, the movies perhaps?
Antibes, Cannes, Monaco, Eze, St. Paul de Vence
Wanna see la creme de la creme of the French Riviera? Book a trip through booking.com and visit 5 beautiful places in 1 day! Antibes is a small town with the lovely seasights and delicious coffee spots. Cannes is actually not worth the hype, just the red carpet stairs and some fancy shoes with jewelry and designer handbags, Eze and Saint Paul de Vance are charming villages in the mountains with breathtaking streets and floral corners and Monaco as cherry on top at the end with the Royal palace, gardens, port and famous casino.
I could talk about this trip for hours and write 5 pages long, but nobody would read it, so that’s it from me for now.
Bisou bisou,
Lesi Lee
Hello travelers,
does still anyone read these blog posts? If yes, welcome and keep reading please. If not, I guess it’s all just for me to keep a diary of my voyages when I get older and senile:). I visited UAE at the end of January 2025 and I must say that it impressed me a lot! It was a first time for me and my mum to come to this part of the world, but we truly enjoyed it.
I’m not gonna go into too much detail about the flight and accommodation because you can google it anytime, but let me just give you a tour of the places we visited and liked the most.
This has probably been one the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Just a few interesting facts that I actually remember: The white marble comes from Macedonia, the gold is from Italy, crystals from Austria and all the chandeliers are decorated with Swarovski crystals. Oh and there is the largest hand knitted carpet in the world. I mean… yeah! Definitely a masterpiece of Islamic art and culture.
Definitely a must visit but keep in mind that you need to book a slot in advance or in the underground mall nearby to get in, it’s free, just don’t forget to dress appropriately.
2. Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Abu Dhabi
The hotel was opened In 2005 as the Emirates Palace. It is one of the most expensive hotels ever built (3 billion US dollars). Traditional Arabic architecture is combined with modern luxury here and it might not look that posh on the pics, but I felt like a princess strolling around the place. The hotel has a private beach, spa, 12 restaurants, cultural venues and much more. 1 night costs around 750 eur but you can visit and have coffee there anytime.
3. Louvre
Yes, you read correctly. There is Louvre in Abu Dhabi, but a completely different one from the one in Paris. Edgy and minimalistic building floating on the Arabian gulf totally blew my mind. When it comes to the exhibition, I must say that it is not comparable with the French Louvre at all of course, but the architecture and the outdoor area truly is unique. This place is a bit further from the city so you can take a taxi (which is very affordable here). The ticket is around 16eur.
4. Downtown and the beach
We stayed at Beach Rotana hotel which has a nice small beach and a promenade as you can see on the pics. The city centre is just 10-15 mins from the hotel by walk. It has a completely different vibe than Dubai- less busy, less crowded, more peaceful. That is probably the reason why I like Abu Dhabi more. Important info: it feels very safe, you can get a taxi anywhere and the food tastes delicious whenever you go.
5. Elan cafe and Forever rose
For those who don’t know me, I have an obsession with cute pink places, so when I found out there is Elan cafe in Abu Dhabi, I just had to go. It was actually much further than I expected (45 mins from the hotel by taxi), but totally worth the insta vibe. This company has cafés all around the world and when I lived in London, I went for a cake there quite often. Another must visit is Forever rose café which was featured in the reality show Dubai bling. This was pretty close to our hotel and because it is a part of the luxurious shopping mall, I highly recommend trying it out too:).
6. Dubai: Miracle gardens, Burj Kalifa, Ain Dubai
First things first, we rented a car with the driver to go for an all day trip to Dubai. The plan was clear: to visit the most beautiful garden in the world with million of flowers, to see the city centre with the famous Burj Khalifa and then anything else we have time for. The Miracle garden was like a fairytale and I couldn’t get myself to leave. Therefore, I would highly recommend spending at least 2 hours here. Then we went to the Dubai mall, did some window shopping and grab a lunch outside next to the Burj Khalifa. I don’t know what is all the fuzz about, but the centre was way too crowded and expensive for me to be honest. On the other hand, views from the Ain Dubai attraction were stunning. Much better than London Eye or Paris wheel. The whole trip takes around 30 mins, so you can really enjoy the sea views or admire the confident architecture from your cabin. The ticket costs around 45 euros and it’s better to book it in advance. We also went to the Golden souk after and our day trip ended with the dinner on the Palm Jumeirah beach.
I can’t really compare these 2 cities, but I still feel like Abu Dhabi got under my skin the minute I arrived opposed to Dubai. It’s just the atmosphere, peace, different air or the mixture of all of it. Let me know, if you’re planning a trip there:)!
Until next place,
Lots of love

Can you believe it? Dreams really do come true and I just came back from New York, guys:)!
There is no better place to get into Christmas spirit than NYC. If you’re a fan of Home alone 2, you definitely know what I mean. Nobody does Christmas like Americans…
We booked tickets just a few weeks ago which was not the most affordable solution but whatever… The best trip of my life for sure!!! 6 days, 15 places, swollen feet but the best memories:).
Six days trip is enough to see everything and get into that American, Home alone, festive spirit. We did Thanksgiving day , Black Friday shopping at the 5th Avenue, lightning of the Rockefeller centre all in one visit and it was the most magical time of the year. I only regret one thing. Not going into the Plaza hotel, but maybe next time:).
Some tips from me:
You definitely need to see this once in a lifetime and I have been saying it to everyone ever since I came back. That feeling of being small and having neck pain from looking up at the skyscrapers, that magnificent moment of looking down at the city that never sleeps is basically indescribable. You must see it for yourself!
Merry Christmas lovelies!
Lots of health, love and travels in 2025!

It’s that time of the year once again! Summer season is about to start and Malta has been on my bucket list for a long time, so why not go there in May😀?
We stayed in a town called Sliema which is only 20 mins from the airport and right next to the sea. I always choose the location carefully, because I want it to be close to the seaside, restaurants and the city centre as well. During the walk, we found the cutest pink brunch spot. See for yourself:). The best location for wanderers like me!
The weather was sunny and a bit windy in the evening so I would recommend a light jacket and long pants for the dinner outside😉. The food was fresh, delicious and simply amazing everywhere. We tried Italian, English and Spanish cuisine (tapas, pizza, burgers etc.). It actually feels like we only ate, but I swear we did a lot of sightseeing too☺️.
When it comes to the transport, the companies have great deals for tourists. You can get a daily or even weekly pass on hop on/off buses (the prices start from 28€). The buses run through the island very often, but due to the heavy traffic, there might be some delays. Despite that, we managed to see the bigger part of the island.
Valletta, Mdina, Rabat, Golden bay, islands of Gozo and Comino too- you can see it all in 3 days😎, because Malta is not that big.
VALLETTA
It is an architectonical heaven built on the hill, surrounded by ancient walls and the sea. All the buildings are historically beautiful and will definitely take your breath away. Malta had been attacked by many countries in the past but it didn’t take any of its charm. You can dine in a Japanese, Italian or Arabic restaurant, buy a little souvenir in the markets or get lost in one of the many narrow streets. Nice spot for taking pictures is definitely Upper and Lower gardens.
GOZZO
This little island 40 mins away from Valletta will welcome you with its magical Church of the Madonna of Lourdes on the hill. You need to climb a few stairs but the views are stunning. When you walk a bit further, you can find a replica of the Betlehem village which was actually a nice surprise for us to find. We walked through it and ended up on the square where we visited another beautiful cathedral Ghajnsielem Parish Church. Then pizza break, little stroll and we can go back to the port to catch a boat to the last stop- Comino.
COMINO
Guys, there is no need to use many words, the pics will tell it all, but let me just say: I was impressed by the color of the water and a bit disappointed from the amount of tourists. Too crowded for the beginning of May for sure! Luckily, the views made it worth.
Did you like this travel post? Book those tickets to Valletta asap:)!
More travel inspo is coming soon…

Hello travel addicts,
it’s July- peak of the season here in Cyprus. We flew in to Larnaca a week ago and staying in Marina Dome beach hotel on Makronissos beach. The temperature is super high, the sea is beautiful and life can’t get any better than this.
Well deserved summer holidays in the south of Cyprus. This is a great place to be! I have to admit I’ve never seen more beautiful sea than here. Crystal clear, turquoise and warm:). What else do you need in the summer? Mojito perhaps? Or a day trip to the tourist centre of Aya Napa full of lovely sights, shops, restaurants and historical monuments?
This town brings a stream of energy into your relaxing holidays. It gets super busy especially in the evening, you can visit a bar and party till the morning, enjoy delicious dinner in the port or get on a large wheel as an attraction. There are just so many options to choose from. We did some shopping of course, ice cream and drink at the cutest pink bar:).
I could talk about lying on the beach a bit more but it’ s not that interesting. This was just super chilled kind of holidays where you only think of what kind of drink you’ll order and what outfit you’ll put on:)… If you are looking for a nice place for summer vacation, definitely visit the south of Cyprus and its stunning beaches. Larnaca, Aya Napa or even Paphos are great options!
Till next destination,

Hello spring lovers🌸!
Our favourite season is here and I’m so excited! Blossoms, spring jackets, sun and floweeeers everywhere…
If you follow my blog, you probably already know, that when it comes to fashion, I change my style quite a lot. Crazy neon dress in Mykonos, satin classic in Santorini, matching sets in Kefalonia. I wear different things throughout the summer. It’s kind of easier to put a summer outfit together, right🙃?
On the other hand, winter is boring😏. No need to write about that. However spring🥰💐🌸✨, it’s definitely the best!
Recently, I’m a fan of minimalism, black and white, leather, 50 shades of grey, neutrals and all that good stuff. I do most of my shopping online: Zara, H&M etc. Obviously, everyone buys/ wears about the same😏.
Luckily, we have some unique boutiques here in Bratislava that sell clothes made in Italy or France and I buy more and more stuff there💁🏻♀️✨.
When it comes to fashion, I always liked extraordinary pieces, something different. The older I get, the more I realize that less is more🤍. That’s why my style has changed a lot in the past few years.
Today, I want to show you some of my favourite ootd for the month of March💁🏻♀️.
1. All grey everything🩶
2. Not a usual white tee🤍
3. A little different floral dress🤍🖤
4. Florals and leather🌸
Pop of colour at the end was kind of necessary, I suppose😀💐. Anyway, this post was more or less an inspiration for this beautiful season.
Don’t be scared to mix and match different materials, but also similar shades and structures😉.
Lots of love,
By Lesi Lee🌸
Hello my beautiful travel addicts!
Another day, another adventure🌍… Today, I’m going to show you few bits and pieces from my trip to Spain in September. Yes, it’s kind of late, but better late than never😆.
4 days- 3 different towns. We stayed in a beautiful large resort in Fuengirola called Wyndham residences**** with many pools, restaurants, bars and lovely gardens. The only minus was that there was no beach belonging to the hotel. That’s why we used to go to the public beach in front of the hotel. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed😏, the beaches in south are not that great at all. You can find rubbish in some parts or even dogs wandering around.
The sea temperature is a bit lower than in Mallorca or Ibiza but it’s definitely clean🌊. See the pics below for a better idea of how Fuengirola looks like🥰😉🤍.
As an old shell collector, I must say that the variety was extraordinary🤩. Ooh, how much I love walking around and looking for the pretty ones. It might as well be my favourite thing to do in general. Anyway, let’s go back to Spain. There is a beautiful Bio parc in Fuengirola. The tickets cost around 18€ and it’s a great idea to take children with you (if you have any of course😉). They go for free. You can see flamingos, tigers, tucans and other exotic animals there.
One day on the beach, next one in Fuengirola and we wanted to go to Gibraltar as well, unfortunately it was way too far and all the trips were fully booked. A local girl advised us to visit Mijas Pueblo🤍 instead. It was supposedly nicer than Marbella according to her. I wasn’t sure whether it’s a good idea or not and I didn’t want to check the pics on the internet before but we did go at the end🙂. And it was worth it for sure. See for yourself!
White houses, blue windows, donkeys, flower pots on the walls- that’s Mijas Pueblo described by few words. However, there is much more under the surface. Mijas Pueblo is also well known for a cave that was created in the 17th century by a father of 2 kids who saw Virgin Mary there.
I fell in love with this place right away💙🤍! There is just something magical about it. It’s like a mixture of Greece and Italy and we love them both equally, don’t we😍?
I would highly suggest coming early in the morning, enjoying views in the garden next to the church and shopping for souvenirs in the city centre. Donkey ride is also an option for those who don’t mind their sad faces🥲.
Last but not least, we visited the city of Malaga. Malaga reminds me of Palma with its historical centre, palm trees everywhere and charming streets with local restaurants. We had dinner in a lovely restaurant (I don’t remember the name unfortunately) but it was probably the best veggie tapas and risotto of my life😋. I don’t have many pics because we came quite late in the evening, but the atmosphere was special. We did some shopping in Zara, Bershka etc. (local brands).
So what do you think? Is it worth visiting? Let me know if you’re planning a short trip to the south of Spain and definitely book Gibraltar in advance. I’m sorry we didn’t get to see it😒, maybe next time🙃.
Until next time,
xx Lots of love xx

Yes! I visited this island again after 6 years. And I don’t regret it at all:)!
It was actually a spontaneous trip booked 3 weeks before the departure. I see the flight, I like it, I want it, I got it:D (like Ariana sings). We stayed in a lovely hotel in Kamari right next to the beach. Kamari beach is famous for its unique black sand and crystal clear water. We went at the end of July but the sea was a bit too wavy, supposedly because of the storm few days before. Other than that, there is honestly nothing bad I can say about this place. Great customer service everywhere you go, delicious food, rich variety of activities to choose from and the long promenade next to the beach makes Kamari the ultimate tourist spot for sure:).
You have probably seen thousands of pics like this on Instagram, but Santorini views never get boring, believe me! We started off our day early in the morning in Fira (no crowds at all). We had breakfast with the view (greek yoghurt with chia seeds, fruit and frappuccino of course). We continued and admired the views along the cliffs watching the sun come up. As you can see on the pics, I picked an outfit absolutely matching the vibe of Santorini. Light blue top and skirt:). Oh, how much I looove this island aesthetics!
In the evening, we visited Oia (30 mins drive by bus from Kamari). They say that sunset in Oia is to die for and they are correct. The words cannot describe the beauty of it, especially when you are with someone you truly love…
Oia can get a little too crowded later in a day so I would suggest visiting Santorini off the season (May or September). Every little corner looks pretty here. All the houses, streets, shops and churches correspond with the white and blue architecture decorated by flower trees. 3-4 days are enough to see and enjoy it all on the island:)
Next day, we went on a boat trip to the volcano opposite the island called Nea Kameni. The boat stops at the thermal spring where you can swim for a while and then takes you to the volcano. The hike up takes around 30 mins (it’s hot as hell in July so bring a hat). There is a crater and you can smell sulphur a bit but it belongs to the experience. There is not much to see here, except the rocks but the views are still breathtaking (I wish I could come up with a different word:).
Last but not least, I must give you a fashion advice when visiting Santorini. You can never go wrong with the white comfy sandals and a little cross-body bag that fits a small bottle and goes with everything. I chose a royal blue satin dress for evening in Oia, light blue matchy top and skirt for Fira, white tee and black shorts for the hike and white madeira dress for the beachwalk. Of course, don’t forget to accessorize yourself. Blue is good:)…
I hope you liked this pretty little post and keep checking those flights, girl:)! ,,There is no time to be blue in Santorini… ”
Until the next destination,
Lots of Love,

Thinking about visiting this less popular Greek island? Do it, babe! You will find beauty above and beyond your expectations, I promise:)…
Last year, I had a chance to visit Kefalonia. It wasn’t even on my bucket list but my mum really wanted to go so we did. We stayed in a small hotel in Lixouri. The beach nearby called Xi beach belongs to the national UNESCO heritage because of its unique orange sand and white cliffs. It was probably one of the smallest beaches, I have visited, but it made it even more private and special.
The Nr. 1 must-see on the island is definitely a cave called Melissani lake. This place is connected to the legend of a beautiful nymph who suffered from unrequited love to the god Pan. She committed suicide and threw herself into these waters. There had been some statues found under the water dedicated to her and testifying their tragic love story. It is a very unique cave with a huge crater and crystal clear water.
The Melissani cave is located next to the Sami village (where you can get a nice lunch in one of the sea sight restaurants). Try to arrive to Melissani early in the morning because during the season (June- September)there are many people from all around the world visiting this geological phenomenon. The ticket costs around 10-15 euros. A guide will take you on a 15-minute boat ride through the caverns, telling you all the geological and historical information. You might also hear them singing traditional Greek songs:).
Another place definitely worth visiting is a village of Assos. Lovely colorful houses surrounded by hibiscus trees and turquoise sea. Order an iced coffee and admire the beauty around the bay.
Myrtos beach is considered to be the most beautiful beach of Kefalonia. It’s not easy to get there, you need to rent a car and ride down through a narrow road but it is stunning. However, do not expect to book a hotel or have a lunch in a restaurant. That place is untouched by people and it makes it even better. The small version of blue church on the picture below is at the top of the hill where you can experience the breathtaking views.
The capital Argostoli is a small town with the port. You can get a ferry and visit other places from here too. It only has one Main street with the most unique shops full of handmade products, cafés and couple of churches. What is actually really cool is a chance to see the huge sea turtles in the port. I loved the vibe of this place! We walked around for hours…
Still not sure if you want to visit? Ryanair flies to Kefalonia during the peek season twice a week for reasonable prices:).
You’re welcome, travel addicts!
See you soon!
Lots of Love,

Hi lovelies,
long time, no post… I recently visited Catania and I finally sat down and decided to write about. You reading it right now means the world to me (even though I mostly use this as my travel diary blog:)).
5th of May: Here we come, Sicily!!!
The flight from Vienna to Catania was super short, less than 2 hours. During the landing, you can spot the Etna volcano from the plane (first picture below). The hotel I chose was 7 mins from the airport. I specifically picked this one because of the location. Romano palace luxury hotel***** is an elegant, ancient looking place with the huge gardens, pool and the beach right across the road.
The beach belongs to the Rainbow club- restaurant/ café so you can freshen up throughout the day. The umbrellas and sun beds are free for the hotel guests. We only spent couple of hours there but managed to get sunburnt. Do not underestimate the Italian sun in May:)!
I have to mention the local restaurant La Baracca as well. The food was amazing, I could eat caprese every day and pasta is another serious addiction for me. The lovely music, guys shouting PRESTO in the background and the variety of food adds something magical to the atmosphere.
OLD TOWN OF CATANIA
I was actually surprised when we arrived here (10 mins by bus from the hotel). There are so many beautiful historical buildings and each of them is different. Top places to visit are definitely Benedictine monastery of San Nicolo, Porta Garibaldi (ancient arch/ gate) , Villa Bellini (parc with beautiful flowers and fountains), Castello Ursino, Basilica Cattedrale Sant’ Agata (worth visiting inside), Piazza Del Duomo (here you can find the elephant- symbol of Catania), Teatro Romano (very old ruins from the 2nd century BC). We wanted to visit Etna, but due to the lack of time, we chose relax at the beach instead:), maybe next time.
The best gelato is served at Don Peppinu. It is definitely worth the wait in a queue. I tried limoncello and chocolate of course:). YUMMY!
Overall, I would say 3 days is enough to explore Catania town, beaches and the area but there are also other amazing places like Etna, Taormina or Syracuse in the short travel distance. These trips are also organized by many companies in the centre so you don’t have to worry about anything. You can also rent a car at the airport or take a train from the main station.
The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the rubbish at the beach and even in the centre. It reminded me of Naples actually. That is not La dolce vita style but I guess kind of usual for Italy.
That’s all from me today, I hope you got inspired by this post a bit and might visit Sicily in the future:)! Wishing you a beautiful summer full of adventures, sun and gelato of course:).
See you soon in Kefalonia!
Lots of love,
by L. L.
New Year, new adventures!
Today, I’d like to tell you about my recent trip to Zakopane. It’s a small town in Poland (very close to Slovakia) and I always wanted to go there. Well, it was love at the first sight for sure and let me tell you why!
Whether, you’re a fan of skiing or not, you will enjoy visiting Zakopane for sure. It’s like a winter wonderland full of twinkle lights, cute wooden houses and the nature to die for.
1. TOWN CENTRE
No kidding, it still feels like Christmas! I can’t even describe the atmosphere here. Ton of snow, mulled wine and many attractions. It actually reminds me of the Winter wonderland fair in London but smaller and less crowded. Grab your loved one, cause it’s just sooo romantic!
2. FOOD
We dined at few different restaurants but what they all had in common is the traditional live music and delicious food of course. I tried Polish sheep cheese, dumplings, Kaiserschmarrn– picture below (it changed my life) and some Polish donuts too, yummy! Might have to be on a diet now but it doesn’t matter! The prices are quite affordable and anyone can pick what they like. The only minus is a very limited number of vegetarian dishes on the menu (that’s why I chose the sweet ones:D). Everything is simply fresh and tasty!
3. SKIING
Th town is surrounded by mountains and many ski resorts. I haven’t had a chance to ski there but the snowy conditions are great most of the winter and you can find ski services, restaurants and cable cars next to the slopes or the main road. The panoramic views are so worth it!( We stayed in a 4 ⭐hotel Belvedere with spa and it was very nice!)
4. ATTRACTIONS
There are many places to visit in Zakopane, but I have to mention the Happy museum, Labyrinth+ Igloo and The Eye. For pink lovers like me, Happy museum was an obvious choice. It is located in the shopping mall on the Main Street and you can take endless insta pics for app. 20euros. Labyrinth and the igloo are further from the centre, right next to the Tatra mountains. It is a great place to visit as a family as well, you can get tickets for sleighing or just for the labyrinth. It costs around 25euros. We actually got lost in the labyrinth, it is bigger than it looks:D. The Eye costs around 5 euros and it looks stunning especially at night, but get ready to freeze (or drink some booz before:D!).
5. TATRA MOUNTAINS
No need to describe these 50 shades of blue and white. Winter hike in Tatry National Park is simply breathtaking! We decided to see the Siklawica waterfalls (frozen unfortunately) and found out these picturesque scenery on the way. I have never seen that much snow in my life:D.
I just wanted to jump on here quickly and write few words about the past weekend. I always say this but I loooove this place and I can’t wait to explore more this year. Stay tuned and until next time,
xx Lots of love xx

Hello travelers!
Another day, another travel post… Today, I’m going to tell you about my autumn holidays. I haven’t had time to sit down and put it together earlier so here we go! Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this short but visually rich post 😉.
5 days, 3 girls and 1 island to explore! Shall we?
Our flight was delayed so we arrived very late at night. The airport in Palma was practically empty and quite well organized. We took a cab to Peguera (20 mins- 40eur)- small town on the west. Our 3 ⭐ hotel Vibra Beverly Playa surprised us with the nice warm welcome- the most beautiful fireworks on the water. The room view, location and the breakfast was definitely worth 5⭐.
Peguera is a tourist heaven and it offers many activities like boat trips, dolphin watching, sightseeing, shopping, restaurants, hotels of course and large sandy beaches with the turquoise sea. I must say that the sea was as warm as the one in Egypt which I didn’t expect at all. It was hard to get out of the water, but sunbathing and eating fresh fruit is just as important, right?
After a sunny day at the beach, we decided to explore a bit and visit another part of town.
We spent most of the time relaxing and eating😁 but visiting the capital was definitely a PLAN. The local buses run every hour or so (sometimes, they don’t, haha), but if you don’t want to waste your precious time on the island, take a taxi.
Palma de Mallorca
This city will seduce you the moment you arrive. All the palm trees, blue skies, parks and of course one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe. We could not choose a better time than sunset. One feels very small standing next to this majestic object.
We got some bits and pieces in a souvenir shop next to the cathedral and continued our walk to the streets of Palma. We dined at a Tapas place I can’t remember the name, did some shopping in ZARA and had the best ice cream in Plaza Major. It was too great to be photographed, sorry😀.
Palma was magical and I would love to go back one day and explore more. Next day, we went on a boat ride to see the dolphins. It was amazing to see those beautiful creatures swimming freely and happily far away from the shore. I felt like a little child screaming every time they jumped out of the water. Our planet might be in a big trouble but there is still so much innocent beauty in it.
Well, that is probably all! Let me know in the comments below if you ever visited Mallorca. I’m taking a little break from traveling (saving money for some winter exotic) but I will post beauty and fashion content as well so stay tuned…
Lots of love in the meantime,

Hello travellers!
How are you all doing? Autumn is here and I keep asking myself: why is the summer always so short? C’est la vie… but it doesn’t have to be☺️. I’m in Mykonos once again😀 and this time around, I feel like I really needed it. It had been a rather stressful month and a little getaway cheered me up🤩. In August, I didn’t have much time to explore the capital (Mykonos town- Chora), port and some other beaches, so the plan was obvious.
We flew with Ryanair as usual☺️ and booked accomodation via booking.com. The hotel looked beautiful on the pictures but what really blew my mind was the fact that they upgraded our room (genius 2 level pros) and for the first time in my life, I had jacuzzi on the balcony🤩🥳! Can you believe it??? The room worth 1000€ per night was like a dream come true. I know it’s just a room but the views and everything was simply stunning. The Kouros hotel***** is situated 15 mins walk from the centre of Mykonos town on the hills with the sea view. The rooms are huge and some even have a private swimming pool, but the jacuzzi is better😄, especially in October. Lovely 24 degrees and a very light wind surprised me. It just seemed warmer than the summer, I can’t help it. Another thing that I didn’t expect was the crowds. There were many people everywhere, I guess they all had the same idea… Anyway, let’s dive into the fun stuff. Today, I’d like to share my top 5 favorite places in Mykonos, so grab some tea and keep reading!
1. NAMMOS
The village of Nammos is located in the south of Mykonos (10 mins drive from Fabrika). There are only 5 of them in the world (Mykonos, Dubai, Cannes, Limassol, Quatar). This place is not only for the rich people and celebrities. It’s for anyone who can appreciate beauty and art. You will find many high fashion houses here (Dior, Bottega Veneta, Gucci etc.), fountains, parks, restaurants and the most luxurious beach Nammos. You pay 150 euros for 2 sunbeds but if you’re a normal person like me, you can stay at the beach right next to it for free. The sea is just crystal clear, turquoise and warm. Nammos is simply breathtaking and I’m so glad I could experience this whole fancy THING!
2. KOUROS HOTEL AND SUITES
I’m absolutely mesmerized by this hotel and that’s why I decided to add it to the list. Kouros luxury boutique hotel and spa in Mykonos town was founded in 1994 and is one of the premier establishments to vacation in the Greek Islands. Completely renovated in 2018 by renowned French designer Fabienne Spahn, the hotel offers its guests an exclusive, elegant, relaxing experience all within the idyllic setting of Mykonos Island. It’s a jewel of traditional and modern architecture, which combined with its unique location, a cliff near Mykonos town with panoramic views of the town, the sea, and the breathtaking sunsets🌄, creates the charming mood necessary to fully enjoy our beautiful island. (www.kouroshotelmykonos.gr)
3. OLD PORT
The Old Port of Mykonos is located just behind the popular Little Venice. This part of town is live 24/7. No wonder it attracts many tourists. The restaurants, bars and shops offer a rich variety of delicious meals, fancy drinks and cute little souvenirs. You might even spot a pink pelican Pedro- the mascot of Mykonos.
Take a boat from Tourlos to The Old port and admire the picturesque white houses from the sea! I promise that won’t be disappointed😍…
4. WINDMILLS
The iconic and windy (but definitely a must- see) part of the island. Six windmills with a breathtaking overview is the best place to watch a sunset. Romantic much? Hell, yeah!
5. CHORA
And here we are my friends🥳! The most beautiful, picturesque and magical place I have ever seen- the centre of Mykonos town: Chora💙. No need to add anything else, just look at the photos!
I hope you enjoyed this colorful blog post and already booked your flight🇬🇷! Mykonos really is worth seeing…
Have a wonderful autumn and see you super soon!
Lots of love by L.L.
Kalimera world!
Mykonos is one of the most visited places this year. Wonder why? Keep reading, lovelies!
This greek island has been on my bucket list for a while and I was super excited to finally go there in August. I booked the flight through my ‘beloved’ Ryanair app (yes, I’m kind of addicted to that) and accommodation in the most beautiful Corfos hotel. It was a lovely 4- day trip but I didn’t expect it to be so windy. According to the locals, this summer was the windiest in a history but it’s always windy there anyway. My advice if you’re planning to visit: Don’t bring a hat, wear sunscreen even on a cloudy day and don’t forget to pack something warm for the evening. Mykonos is very different from any other greek islands. It’s not just a wind, it’s generally colder in there and also the sea might feel a bit chilly sometimes. Nevertheless, I’m glad I could experience this magical atmosphere and I’m planning to go there again next month:).
Let’s begin with some useful information! There is a small airport in Mykonos so get ready for an extremely short runway and quick landing. The buses (from the airport to town) run every hour in the peak season (May- October) and cost around 2€. The centre of Mykonos town is very picturesque. You can find many souvenir shops, restaurants, cafés and of course the most famous windmills. They haven’t been used in years so I guess it’s just a tourist attraction. Another must- see place is definitely Little Venice with its narrow white streets, port and restaurants right next to the sea. You might get splashed by the water so be careful while walking. What I loved the most were the pink bougainvilleas🌺 hanging from the roofs. How pretty!
Our hotel was located 10 mins drive from the town in a village called Ornos. This 4✮hotel was literally a dream come true. Beautiful architecture, great location, fresh food and the friendly staff made our stay very pleasant. Unfortunately, (I have to bring up the wind once again) it was super noisy at night. That would probably be the only con but I can’t blame the hotel for it of course. There is also a supermarket and a bus stop in the area.
Corfos is perfect! I mean, look at that🤍!
There are two main beaches in the area. Paralia Korfos (only for the windsurfers) and Ornos beach with its emerald green water, luxurious cocktail bars and live music is perfect for a relaxing day. All the sunbeds belong to the restaurants (you pay around 40€ for 2) and you have to order a drink as well (15 €). There is a small area on the side where you can stay for free but it’s not that comfy. You can also take a taxi boat (one day ticket 20€) and see all the beaches on the south (Paradise, Platis Gialos etc.). Little spoiler: they all look the same😁.
Mykonos is also called a ‘party island’,so you can hear DJ’s from all over the world playing at the beach.
If you fancy an evening stroll, dinner in taverna or a souvenir hunt, take a bus to Mykonos town (also called Fabrika). Shoutout to all the shopaholics out there😍! Let us be our own sugarbabes😂!
Some people also visit Paros or Naxos (islands nearby) but I wanted to explore as much as I could in those 4 days. Overall, I would say Mykonos is not a typical holiday destination like Turkey or Croatia where you can lie on the beach all day and grill yourself (the windy weather again😏). It’s a small rocky island with barely any greenery. On the other hand, the sightseeing and many insta-spots is what makes it special but I would probably get bored after a week.
Anyway, I guess that’s all the important stuff you need to know before you go😉. Let me know your thoughts about Mykonos, I can’t wait to hear from you.
The summer is ending, but stay tuned for more travel posts.
Lots of love,

Hello lovelies!
How are you all doing? Enjoying the last bits of summer? I’m trying to but the weather in Slovakia has been kind of weird recently . Anyway, I’ve decided to share my favorite part of the home and that is: THE BEAUTY CORNER. It’s simply a dream come true because I always wanted a place like this.
It all started in April. I was browsing/ shopping on the internet and I found an ad with the most beautiful makeup tables ever! The website called http://www.therese.sk and their goods totally got under my skin. I went through all of their products and found this one. It came with a stool and a mirror. Golden details, velvet touch and minimalistic design was exactly what I was looking for. The only problem was 2- month waiting period as all of their products are made and shipped from Germany. The prices of the sets are around 200-400€ depending on the materials.
I received the parcel in May but unfortunately, it arrived broken. I had to exchange it and it took 2 more weeks but all the stress and waiting was worth it! I put it all together myself (luckily for me, it was not that difficult) and I have been enjoying doing my makeup ever since:)…
I wanted to keep the space clean and handy at the same time so I only added few things. Here is a list of items I decorated my makeup table with: golden pot SINSAY, jewelry organizer STRADIVARIUS, (old) brush holder DEBENHAMS, velvet picture frame PEPCO, hair clips HM.
You want to know what is inside the drawers? Let’s see!
All of my Urban decay eyeshadow palettes and much more palettes… (Revolution: Birds of paradise, Jaclyn Hill: Volume 2 and BH cosmetics: Take me to Brazil, NYX, Dermacol etc.) I just like to use these crazy bright colors in the summer:D!
I also want to mention the bookcase from ARGOS (seen on the featured image) that I used for more beauty products (perfumes, palettes, jewelry, nail polishes etc. I added some aesthetically pleasing treys and boxes and it looks so chic and girlie! I do my makeup here every day and I honestly think it makes such a difference. The lighting is really good as it’s right next to the balcony and it’s just perfect to have everything organized.
Let me know how you like my beauty corner and feel free to share pics from yours! I can’t wait to see them:)!!!
Lots of love,

Hello to all the fashionistas!
Today, I’m going to share some of the outfits I wore in Italy (Naples, Ischia, Capri). I bought few bits and pieces to match the Italian aesthetics and believe me or not, it wasn’t easy to find it here in Slovakia:D.
1. GREEN SATIN DRESS (Naples)
This dress was actually such a bargain! I found it in a local shop in the city centre (Piazza di Garibaldi) called ZUIKI for 20€ and it fits perfectly! I absolutely looove the emerald green color at the moment, it has been a huge trend this summer. The only con of the satin dresses is that if you sweat, it leaves the marks on the fabric, but who doesn’t sweat in the summer, right?
2. BLUE AND WHITE SET (Capri)
This set is truly the cutest thing in my closet! I found it on a Slovak eshop called http://www.greenappleshop.sk and I fell in love immediately. It consists of a shirt, bra and shorts. The material is very light and easily packed. I swear I got so many compliments about this outfit in Capri. I paired it with white Birkenstock sandals, blue earrings from Naples and a visor that I got in Corfu last year.
This is dolce vita, baby!
3. LONG WHITE MADEIRA DRESS (Capri)
This dress is a dream! I got it 2 years ago here in Slovakia in a shop called Blanc du Nil. It wasn’t cheap but the quality and the design is timeless. It’s long, airy and I will definitely wear it for the rest of my life:)!
4. ORANGE BIKINI (Ischia)
Ok, so this wasn’t even supposed to be an outfit:D. I got the top part of bikini and a scarf in H&M before the holidays and had no idea it was so versatile. There are 5 ways how to strap the bikini (around the waist, neck etc.) and the scarf? Let’s see what I did with it:D!
5. COLORFUL SET (Ischia)
Satin, colors, exotic pattern. This is how I would describe the last but not least outfit. When I got it in Sinsay in June, it was clear that I would wear it throughout the whole summer… Beach, city stroll, botanic garden…. Anywhere….
It’s super comfy and it only cost 12€, amazing, isn’t?
Which one is your favorite? 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5? Let me know in the comments below. Do you like these types of fashion posts or should I stick to the travel content? I would love to hear from you, lovelies!
Have a wonderful weekend and until next time,
Lots of love,

Hello to all the dolce vita lovers!
Today, I’ m taking you away from Naples. Our next stop is an island located 50 mins from there by ferry called Ischia. Ischia is famous for its natural thermal springs, crystal clear sea and a beautiful botanic garden Giardini La Mortella.
The ferry from the port in Naples runs every day and the cost of the ticket is around 25€. You can also visit Procida on your way which is a picturesque island full of colorful houses. The town of Ischia has a very lively centre and the port with the best seafood restaurants.
We stayed in a hotel called Oasi Castiglione in the village of Cassamicciola. I chose this one because it is the biggest spa resort on the island. It has 10 swimming pools outside and 5 inside. All of them have thermal water (28-38 degrees). The hotel lies on the rocky cliff and has a very small beach but the sea is lovely- clear and warm. Here are few photos from the hotel (views, breakfast, pools, sea).
We wanted to explore the island so we visited the towns (Forio, Ischia). Endless shops, souvenirs, cafés and restaurants will keep you busy for sure but what I loved the most about Ischia was the variety. You could find many different clothes shops with prices starting from 5€. It is always nice to bring a souvenir home and I surely did… more than one, xixi…
The highlight of the trip was a visit to the local botanic garden Giardini La Mortella in Forio. The ticket costs 12€ and you can get there by taxi or a bus. The buses run every 15 mins and it costs 2€ (taxi around 20€). I always loved gardens but this one is definitely the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It’ s quite large so make sure you have enough time (cca 3 hours) to wander around. The garden was created by Susan Walton- Argentina’s gardener who married a British composer William Walton. They both lived in Ischia for a quite some time and what might come as a surprise is that Queen Elizabeth visited the garden and her son still funds it till now. You could say it is a Royal garden regarding the history and magnificence itself.
The botanic garden has 3 tropical greenhouses: The Victoria house, The orchid house and The Temple of the Sun. I really liked the Thai house (picture below). So many mesmerizing exotic flowers and plants I just couldn’t take my eyes off. And you know what’s even better than that? The views…
Overall, Ischia is an island for people who love to relax. Not as exciting as Amalfi or our next destination- Capri, but charming and fullfilling like Italy itself. I’m so glad I spent a week in here and I hope to come back one day.
Let me know how you liked this travel post and be ready for our next adventure: Capri:).
xx Lots of Love xx

It’s almost July and I still haven’t decided where to go for holidays. This was my struggle in the middle of June. The original plan was to go to Nepal, see the kindergarten that my friend opened last year and help her as much as I could. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. I knew I wanted to explore another unknown place on my bucket list and even though I have been to Italy before, this seemed like a great idea. If you’ve seen an old movie Avanti, you definitely know the island of Ischia with its thermal springs and beautiful gardens. And one of my friends inspired me to go to Capri as well because it’s beautiful and nearby.
I checked the flights immediately and the only way to get there from here (Bratislava) was to fly from Vienna to Naples. I knew this was not going to be the usual- chillin at the beach- type of holiday but I was super excited. looked at the google map and highlighted all the places I wanted to see on the way.
NAPLES
We arrived late at night and it was kind of scary… Lots of homeless people, mess on the streets and police saying:,, Be careful”, was not the best impression of the city we could get. Luckily, next day was much more pleasant. We visited Pompeii, old town, Santa Chiara monastery (which is the most beautiful insta spot btw) and countless streets full of shops, restaurants and an amazing atmosphere. As a person who loves clothes, I was very surprised to see Versace and a a very cheap shop with dresses for 5 euros right next to it. And then it all clicked… Naples is just for everyone… History lovers, gourmands or fashion addicts. Everyone can find what they’re looking for. Just remember to travel off season due to the hot weather and amount of tourists.
When it comes to prices in Italy, you probably already know that they went up (comparing it with Milan that I visited few months ago). Of course, you can find cheaper restaurants and shops, but be ready to pay at least 15€ for a pizza and 8€ for a cocktail. It’s always good to book your accommodation in advance and stay closer to the city centre. The bus from the airport (5€) leaves you at Piazza Garibaldi and most of the places that are worth visiting are in the historic part of town (20 mins by walk from there). We stayed in a small hotel on Via Duomo and walked everywhere. On the other hand, Pompeii is quite far so you do need to take a train (11€return ticket) from the Piazza Garibaldi- Vesuvio line and it takes around 30mins. Entrance fee is 16€.
To sum it up, all of the must- see places in Naples are:
If you’re travelling to Naples anytime soon, this article might have been helpful for you:). However, the trip continues so stay tuned for part 2…

Capital of fashion, gothic cathedral and Da Vinci. I’m talking about Milan of course. This Italian city has so much to offer. Whether you fancy shopping, history or good cuisine, Milan is the right place to go.
LOCATION
The city is located in the northern part of Italy. As a capital of Lombardy, it is also one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Europe. Don’t worry though, Milan is not that big after all:)! The most affordable way to get there is to take a flight to Milan Bergamo via Ryanair and then bus from the airport to the city centre (10€).
WHAT TO SEE
Duomo di Milano
The most beautiful place in Milan for sure! This gothic cathedral is the second biggest in Europe and had been very important throughout the history of catholic religion. It’s worth a visit inside as well (tickets from 20 euros). I just literally stood in front of it mesmerized for an hour…
TIP: Come early in the morning if you want to take a pic with nobody else on:).
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
GUCCI, DIOR, Louis Vuitton- all the high fashion boutiques under one roof. This place is definitely a MUST-SEE. Just look at that breathtaking architecture with all of the details!
Da Vinci Museum
I honestly had no idea how much this guy changed the world. Mona Lisa isn’t by far the only famous thing he did. Da Vinci discovered the first flying system based on the observation of the various types of insect. How exceptional is that! Probably the smartest man in the history- painter, explorer, scientist, architect and universal genius! (14 € per ticket)
Giardini Indro Montanelli
Parc with a palace, fountain and many Italian seniors relaxing on the sun. This is Milan too! If you want to take a rest, walk a dog or take the kids out, Giardini Indro Montanelli is the perfect place:).
Basilica San Lorenzo Maggiore
,,There is a church close by, let’s go and have a look!” said a friend of mine. We had no idea, it was one of oldest ones in Milan built during the Roman Empire.
LuBar
The perfect brunch spot in the city centre is the 16th century greenhouse. The prettiest romantic bar I’ve ever been to.
Via Palestro
Are you a fan of the House of Gucci movie? It might surprise you that Maurizio Gucci was actually killed here in the 90’s.
Anyway, walking around these historic buildings and sucking in the magical atmosphere is the best way how to explore the city.
SHOPPING
They call it CITY OF FASHION for a reason. Luxurious brands, Italian leather goods, worldwide retailers- Milan has it all. Even PRIMARK! Wishing for a platinum credit card while passing the thousands of pretty shops:). At least, I got myself a gelato:D.
I hope you liked this little travel post. Let me know in the comments below if you’re planning to visit Milan or you’ve already been. Can’t wait to hear from you:)…
LOTS OF LOVE,

Hello lovelies!
How are you all doing? Long time, no post, I know… Work and school has been keeping me busy, even though there is still a tough lockdown going on here in Slovakia. Luckily, the spring is here and I can’t wait to see the first blossoms and wear cute pastel outfits.
Today, I want to talk to you about this amazing product that I got a couple of weeks ago. When I saw it on Instagram for the first time, I was like: That’s sooo pretty!!! Then I did a little research and read many reviews from all around the world. Girls claimed that their skin got better in a short period of time. I didn’t need to hear anything else and got it straight away.
I guess, I’m not the only one struggling with bad acne due to pandemic and constant face mask wearing so the main reason I’m sharing this is that IT ACTUALLY WORKS! It’s been 3 weeks since I started using it and I can already see that my pores are smaller and my skin is softer. I use KYLIESKIN products (face foam and cream) together with EGGOGLOW and I can’t wait to see even better results in few months. It’s super quick and easy to add it to your routine.
Every evening, I just remove my makeup, wash my face and apply face foam. Then, I switch it on and massage my skin for 2-3 mins. That feeling is so nice after all day at work with makeup on, believe me:). The foam is absorbed into the skin immediately so there is no need to wash your face again after that. I just finish the routine with face cream, vitamin C serum and go to bed to watch some Netflix.
I’m just so happy that they made this product to help all of us with problematic skin and hopefully, my review will help you too.
You can choose from 3 beautiful pastel colors. Nude pink, baby blue and mint green. I couldn’t decide so I got these two:).
Now, you can get it on http://www.eggoglow.com for a special price 45€.
Thank you so much for reading this quick review and get ready for many more spring/ summer fashion and beauty posts.
Lots of love,

Hello my beautiful friends🙋🏻♀️💗🌸, long time no see I know… Corona lasted way too long and I just wasn’t in a mood to write or shoot anything. Sorry about that… Anyway, all is behind us finally and we are slowly getting back to normal☺️. I started going to work last week and I couldn’t be more excited🥰…
When it comes to travelling, it is kind of frustrating to not know when the situation settles in the world and all the flights will be available again. I truly miss holidays and I had to postopone or cancel 2 of them already but I believe everything is gonna be fine soon🙂.
Last week, me and my friend visited this beautiful lavender field near Bratislava and my heart jumped from joy after a long time💜. As a person who loves aesthetically pleasing places, it was like a purple heaven for me. Here is a few pics from our trip.
Dress: Vero Moda, sunglasses: Bijou Briggite, leggins: H&M, shoes: CCC
This was just a short info post I guess😀 but I have lots of ideas so stay tuned for more travels, beauty and fashion.
Love you and talk to you soon🙋🏻♀️💗…

Some information about the products- Golden trey: DEBENHAMS, White fluffy rug: IKEA, Amethyst obelisks, rose quartz obelisks, pieces of agate/ amethyst: different local ezoteric shops.
Rose quartz (also called Heart stone)Little crystals and raw pieces of rose quartz are from local shops and rose quartz underlays are from yoga-day.cz.
Amethyst
I actually think that I love raw stones more than smooth ones. The structure is amazing, look at it! However, when it comes to aesthetics, the shiny ones look better as a decor, I admit…
Agate
This is that last picture from the beautiful semi precious stone collection. I really hope you liked it. I actually even started thinking about having my own online shop with jewellery and home decor but it is not as easy as it looks so we will see how my dream goes… I wish you all a nice warm stay at home, make yourself comfortable, drink lots of tea and do not underestimate the power of crystals. In these crazy times, there is not much left, anyway! Talk to you soon…
Today, I chose some of the most used products at the moment which I absolutely love. But before I start, let´s take a moment and look at how beautiful these tulips and goodies are!Oooooooowwww! Ok then, let´s dive in!
1. WATERFLOWER MAGIC by Kiko, shade 002 Natural Sienna 12€: This pressed bronzer does not only look good (which is very important for a pink addict and beautyholic like me) but also the colour and quality is amazing. It is very easy to apply and contour with. The shade is actually quite similar to my all time favourite Hoola bronzer by Benefit which you all know already. I bought this one a few months ago in Geneva but waited till now to try it and I am seriously impressed. 
2. KYLIESKIN Face moisturizer 24$: There was a lot of thrill and drama around the whole Kylie Jenner Skincare products and I guess I know why now. I loved the Kylie lipsticks so much that I ordered 3 products from the skincare line right before Christmas and it has been an obsession ever since. My skin is very sensitive (the blemishes, acne and pores appear easily and I could barely use any skincare products before) so I was quite happy when they launched these paraben-free, cruelty-free, natural and dermatologically tested products for sensitive skin. I actually had to reorder this cream cause I ran out quickly. I use it twice every day and here is why. The consistency is light but enriching at the same time, it smells lovely and what is more important, it leaves my skin radiant, smooth and FLAWLESS and that never ever happened before, I swear. I do not need any other primers or bases, it creates a great background for any makeup. Check http://www.kylieskin.com if you haven´t already:).
3. KKW lipstick shade KIMMIE (the kit of 4 is 45$): When talking about Kylie, I must mention this liquid lipstick from her last year´s collaboration with Kim Kardashian West. I bought the whole kit but this is my favourite at the moment. The pink undertone and shiny consistency make it perfect for spring and it just really goes with anything. When I like something a lot, I have to talk about it here on my blog (you know that if you follow me) so everything that you find here are just 100% honest opinions and recommendations. 
4. DERMACOL Multi-purpose brightening palette 25€: Before I describe this product, I must admit that my heart stopped for a moment when I first had it in my hands. Crazy? Maybe… but this is definitely the most beautiful and original palette I have ever seen. Even better than Carli Bybel palette (read my review in the beauty section)!!!! Rose gold, glitters, hearts, all floating around! This packaging is everything! Looooooooove it so much… I need to calm down, I know:D. So it consists of 4 shades: bronzer, 2 highlighters and a blusher. All of them are pretty, well pigmented and can be worn in the spring/summer season. They fit any skin tone and type because of their naturalism. DERMACOL totally killed it and I am so happy to have this on my makeup table!
5. VERSACE EROS POUR FEMME 70€: Spring without an amazing scent is just like Donatella without her father . This perfume is not new at all, I have had it for a while now but didn´t use it much. I have few in my drawer organized by season and I don´t know why but I was quite loyal to Angel by Thierry Mugler in the winter and then tried this one day and fell in love. It is not easy to describe the smell so I´ll just say few adjectives like: intensive, luxurious, floral- wooden aroma and super feminine. Visit your local drugstore/perfume shop and smell for yourself:)!
6. NAKED CHERRY by Urban Decay 45€: Again nothing new, I talked about this palette already but it still is my most used eyeshadow palette. I love the quality of the shades, they are easy to blend and combine (as you can see from the picture I do use them almost every day for about a year now). I tried other Naked´s but Cherry is my favourite for sure! The pink undertones and shimmery shades is all I need in the spring:)!
My top favourites ones are: BANG BANG, TURN ON, DEVILISH AND YOUNG LOVE.
I hope this aesthetically pleasing beauty post cheered you up a bit and I cannot wish you anything else at the end just stay safe and sound!Lots of Love

Hi lovelies, how are you all doing? I am sorry for not posting that much now, everything but blogging keeps me busy😏. On January, I started my dream job❤️ (teaching English at the Montessori nursery) and I haven’t had much time ever since. However, I don’t want to complain, it is one of the best things that ever happened to me and I wake up happy and excited every morning. My weekends are kind of busy too, I am still studying at the college (online course). Even though, I am starting to travel and write more once the weather gets a bit better (rain/snow/wind is very common here in 🇸🇰 now).
My travel plans for this year include: IBIZA, DUBAI, Croatia and perhaps Portugal🤩 so I can’t wait for it. Let me know where are you going this summer, I’d love to hear your tips and recommendations😘😍.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and until next time🙋🏻♀️…
Lots of Love

Raise your hand if you’re a beautyholic like me!🙋🏻♀️
Today, I am going to share my current situation at home. I mean my beauty/ makeup situation💄😂 of course… I don’t know why but I always loved pics and videos of people sharing their home stations and beauty products. It is kind of exciting to see a piece of privacy in this insta- oriented (only show the great stuff) world.
Let’s start with all the organizers and decor. From left to right: black sandal wood candle Primark, white bird key holder (used for bracelets) John Lewis, marble treys Primark, white flower pots Ikea, transparent makeup holders Amazon, personalized profile from Croatia💁🏻♀️, picture frame Ikea, vanity mirror Ikea and last but not least black jewellery organizer Ikea.
I wanted to keep it minimalistic (black and white). To be honest, I use this table for studying or working on PC as well so it is not just a makeup vanity.
I’d like to have my favourite parfumes here so I can just grab them any time. La vie est belle by Lancome, Miss Cherie by Dior and Daisy by Marc Jacobs have been my loves since I was a teenager💁🏻♀️. Their fresh floral and feminine smell is what makes them so unique.
Brushes, eyeliners and all the other tools have their own place in the pretty pots. I have Zoewa, Makeup revolution, Essence, NYX, etc.
When it comes to lipsticks, OH YEAH!!! I do have an obsession but how could I not? Kylie cosmetics, NYX, Pupa, Maybelline, Mark by Avon and many more belong to my precious collection. I also have some mascaras (Pupa, Dr. Belter, Maybelline, Chanel, Bourjois, L’oreal). Concealers and setting spray are also part of my vanity. 
I like when it’s all organized cause you know how messy can the makeup get sometimes😩. I try to keep it tidy and throw things I don’t use regularly. However, the problem is that there is way too much in the shops and you want to buy new and new stuff all the time. But we only have one face😱😏☹️ so let’s reduce the waste and only buy what we actually need! I’ll try to do it as well, promise😉!
I hope you enjoyed this beauty post cause I really did. Talking about makeup and all that good stuff is one of the things I am very passionate about and I guess it is not just me. I am planning to write more and more so come back soon, ok? Till then…
Lots of Love,

Hello everyone🙋🏻♀️💗!
Would you like a bit of sunshine☀️ on this gloomy January day🌨? Well, I can take you on a virtual vacation to Croatia where I spent 2 lovely weeks in the summer. As you probably already know, I love travelling so much, especially in the summer. Long warm days, sand in the shoes, vitamin sea and endless relax on the beach. I honestly can’t think of anything better when I look outside the window and see the below zero temperature and snow everywhere. As I said before, winter has its magic but not when you live in a big city with no mountains or ski resorts😩❄️.
What, where and why?
Before I visited this place, I had absolutely no idea where it was and how it looked like. We used to go to all the typical Croatian tourist destinations like Zadar, Biograd or Poreč but it was just about time to explore the unknown part of this beautiful and often underestimated country. Well, I am so glad we did💙. Drvenik is located an hour from a popular city of Makarska. Even though it is a small village, it offers a variety of restaurants, bars and shops. You can do lots of sightseing, trips to local national parks, hiking and many more activities. It is also possible to take a ferry to other beautiful islands like Hvar or Korčula.
We came with a car (which is quite common in our countries) because it is not even 10 hours from Slovakia but you can easily fly to the nearby cities like Split or Hvar. We stayed in a 4*star hotel but there are also cheaper options like apartments (me and my family were just too lazy to cook you know😏). Drvenik is not that overcrowded yet so the beach is very quiet and the sea is literally crystal clear🌊. Look at the pictures and absorb the beauty!💙
Posing with a lovely background!
These views are just breathtaking! Mother nature did a great job once again!
The promenade next to the sea is truly magical. You can stop by for a delicious pizza or buy some homemade oils and souvenirs. There is something to do for everyone but I personally prefer just lying on the beach and relaxing😌💗. Hopefully, I will have a chance to visit Croatia again cause there is way too much hidden beauty that the country offers. 
This pic is from our trip to Hvar which was also beautiful but quite touristy. The ferry from Drvenik leaves twice a day and it takes less than 30 mins to get there. 
And at the end, just a few of my floral shots in the beautiful nude pink dress! I really did feel like a fairy💗💁🏻♀️!
So is Croatia on your bucket list? Let me know! And until next time,
💗Lots of Love💗

Happy New Year everyone!
How was your holidays? Have you had enough food, drinks, rest and all that good stuff? I certainly have and now it is time to move my ass a bit🤦🏻♀️😂…
Each year passes so quickly, don’t you think? Well, another year, another list of resolutions. Take a look at mine and please let me know how I can actually manage to do what is in there cause I have no idea😂… 
Looking back at 2019, I must say it was not an easy one. I say it every year, but it actually gets more and more difficult, believe me. I remember thinking that senior high school was the worst one. I guess that as we grow older, more stuff comes into our lives. More adult/tough kind of stuff… C’est la vie💗.
For me, 2019 was the year of change, love and lots of travels. And that is what I am going to talk about. I had been so blessed to visit many beautiful places and do many interesting things last year and here is a little recap in case you haven’t followed me around.
JANUARY
Start of the year was pretty good. After amazing Christmas holidays with my mum in London, me and my talented friend Hany photography did a photoshoot. The result turned out great! You just have to add a little light✨🤩! Have a look yourself!
FEBRUARY
I was quite busy working so no time for travels yet. But another great photoshoot, this time: All pink everything💗🌸!
MARCH
I went to Slovakia to visit my beloved family. I don’t know a better feeling than coming back here. It doesn’t matter how long I am gone, it will always be my home🏡❤️. I only stayed a few days and didn’t take many pictures. (📷On the way home)
APRIL
This month was actually very busy. I quit my job and found a better one. Working with children has always been my dream😍❤️🥰. So that was probably the best thing I did last year. Except this spring photoshoot💗🌸😍… All time favourite for sure!
MAY
My best friend from uni got married so I flew to Slovakia again. It was the most beautiful wedding💗.
JUNE
I fell in love💗 this month and it definitely changed me and the rest of the year as well. Also, the lavender fields💜 outside of London were blooming so I had to take a chance and…
JULY
Honestly, I had the best summer. First, I went home for almost a month where I celebrated my 27th birthday. We visited Sardinia with my mum and made many great memories. Then I spent few days hiking in Slovak paradise with family… And then I went for the best road trip with my love. But enough of talking, see for yourself!
AUGUST
The mentioned road trip to Italy started at the end of July. 8 days, one car, so many places to see. I wrote a series of blog posts about it but to sum up, we visited (chronological order): Bologna, Rimini, Pescara, Termoli, Salerno, Amalfi coast, Positano, Sorrento, Pompei, Vesuvius, Anzio, Saturnia thermal spa, Florence, Pisa, Lido di Camaiore, La Spezia, Cinque Terre, Portofino and Genova. The same month, I flew to Switzerland where I stayed few months and 2 weeks later, I also went to Madrid. Crazy but amazing month!!!
SEPTEMBER
After an exhausting summer, I decided to go to Spain to do El Camino. 4 days, 120 km (see the section travel for a specific post about it) and only 2 feet. It was the most difficult walk of my life but so worth it. We also travelled a lot within Switzerland (Geneva, Evian, Lausanne) in the autumn.
OCTOBER
So happy, in love… Exploring new places with my ❤️: Chateaux d’ Oex, Yverdon les Bains, Montreaux, Tine de Conflens and many others… I also flew to London for a weekend (Seven sisters, Mersea island). You can read more about each trip in my specific blog posts- the travel section🙃.
NOVEMBER
The last month in Switzerland was busy again because I wanted to enjoy this beautiful country as much as possible. (Geneva, Interlaken, Iseltwald, Aare Gorge etc.)
DECEMBER
Last month of the year was the most difficult one for me. Lots of stress and anxiety kicked in but I still managed to stroll around London, go back home, visit Budapest, enjoy snow in Slovak paradise and spend time with my family. 
I know it all sounds and looks great… It was an amazing year🤩, I really don’t want to complain… But you also have to realize that often, you must sacrifice your job, time and lots of money in order to see the world. That is why I want to focus on myself in 2020 and slow down a bit. And my advice to you is the same😉!
💗Love and take care of yourself! Nothing is more important, believe me!
That is all from me, I hope you liked this little recap and few wise words🤦🏻♀️😂…
Let me know how was your 2019 and what are your plans for this magical year🤩✨!
Lots of Love,
By Lesi Lee🙋🏻♀️
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!🌨
This Christmas/ winter song has been on my mind ever since we came here. Even though, I absolutely love summer holidays abroad and lying on the beach, the older I get, the more I appreciate fresh air and never ending walks in the mountains.
Me and my family organized a spontaneous 4- day trip to the east of Slovakia and I am so excited to be here. When I was a child, we used to come here every summer because of a small cottage in Slovak paradise (National park). I remember that feeling of freedom, breathtaking views and the smell of wood everywhere.
But back to the present🙋🏻♀️… Slovakia is a heart of Europe and Tatras belong to the most beautiful places in the area. Its highest peaks became a national symbol and attract more and more tourists every year.
I truly cannot find a better description than WINTER WONDERLAND❄️🤍☃️. Look at the pictures and see for yourself. (Location: Strbske pleso, Vysoke Tatry)
We stayed in the Hotel Lesnica*** (Slovak paradise) which is around 40km from High Tatras. The panorama on the way looks beautiful and I am sure that all the mountain lovers out there will love this area as much as I do. The mentioned National park (Slovak paradise) is the most visited in the summer but also very magical during winter time. Choose hiking or wellness, it does not matter. If you live in a big polluted city like me, you will definitely appreciate the fresh air, views and atmosphere🇸🇰🌲🌞.
Short spontaneous trips are the best and this one has been great so far😍🥰 … And because I consider this blog to be my personal travel diary, I wanted to share it with you guys so thank you for stopping by😘.
I hope you are having a wonderful time with your loved ones and until next time:
Have an amazing 2020!✨✨✨
Lots of love

Hello everyone🙋🏻♀️!
Are you guys ready for Christmas? Well, I certainly am. All the baking and wrapping is done (my two favourite activities of the year). I was so excited to go back home🇸🇰 for Christmas after 3 years of living in London and even though I love my country, it is nice to see the magical atmosphere somewhere else as well. Budapest is very close to Bratislava (from where I come from) but I never really had a chance to explore this city so I came up with the idea to go there just for 2 days with my family.
I have also visited Prague, Vienna and Bratislava before Christmas but none of them impressed me as much as Budapest. It truly is a beautiful place with many historical buildings, delicious food and breathtaking views.
So let’s dive into it!
1. Stop: New York café
This place has been on my itinerary for a while. It is the oldest and most beautiful café in Budapest and I can see why. It looks like a palace from a movie about Sissi the Empress (if you know what I mean). Live music, amazing food and high ceiling with golden details look absolutely stunning! Waiting time is around 5-10 mins depending on the day and prices vary from 10€ per coffee to 25€ meal. We tried traditional dessert Somloy and chocolate cake. Yummy, yummy, yummy🍰☕️! After the sweet treat and tons of photos, we moved a bit further…
2. Stop: Christmas markets (Fashion street)
Hungary is well- known for their traditional cuisine. Goulash soup, lángos, sausage or wine, you can find it all at the christmas markets in the city centre. There is also a big choice of souvenirs and hand-made products of great quality so you can explore and shop at the same time. (Christmas markets are situated at many different locations therefore I would recommend spending more time here and visit as much as possible.)
3. Stop: Chain bridge
The oldest bridge in Budapest with majestic lion monuments near each entrance takes you to the other part of Danube. It is a nice 10-15 min walk and you can see the whole promenade with the House of Parliament, St. Stephen’s basilica and all the other historic buildings.
4. Stop: Fisherman’s bastion
A must-see for sure! You might actually know this place from Instagram. Seing this was definitely my favourite part of the trip. The ancient chambers look amazing and you can see the whole city from up above. The picturesque St. Mathias church with the colourful roofs and gothic architecture belongs to the national cultural heritage.
5. City centre: Christmas markets in the evening
Just a quick dinner, punch and sleep time in the lovely apartment on Rakoczi utca. We managed to see all the places from my list in 1 day so it is time to relax and chill in the spa for little bit😍.
Bubble wafer and other sweets
St. Stephen’s basilica
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas, enjoy time with your families and step into the New Year with optimism, health and
Lots of Love,

Hello everyone💁🏻♀️!
I am finally back in London and guess what! It is looking absolutely stunning this year🤩🤩🤩 and I honestly don’t think there is any other better time to visit the city than now (end of November/ first half of December). Consider this a little London Christmas guide where I’ll share some of the most beautiful places to see!
But first things first:
DURATION– You need approximately 2-3 days to visit all of the places mentioned below. I definitely recommend not to hurry and enjoy this amazing atmosphere outside.
WEATHER– It has heen little bit chilly recently but quite dry (which is not very common for London) so winter jacket is essential for sure and pair of knitted gloves should do as well🧤.
STAY– I think that any airbnb in the zones 1,2 or even 3 is fine. Travelling by tube or even walking through the city is very simple and well marked. The quality of accomodation depends on the price of course but if you are only visiting for a few days and spend most of the time outside anyway, it is kind of okay not to have a luxurious room, right?
EAT/ DRINK– When it comes to food and drinks, I suggest going to the cafés like Starbucks/Costa/ Pret-a-Manger and not just because of the affordable prices but also because you can warm yourself up a bit, relax and enjoy a nice hot chocolate with marshmallows or delicious local cakes. If you are looking for an INSTA place, I definitely recommend Peggy Porschen cakes (Belgravia), Elan cafe (Brompton road) or Saint Aymes (Covent garden). These places literally scream for a great insta shoot and some £££.
1. Oxford street/ Regent street/ Bond street
This area is probably the most crowded before Christmas due to the many shops but the most iconic decorations are actually here and they change every year. Definitely a must-go!
This shopping mall between Regent street and Bond street looks like a huge advent calendar and is sooo cute!🎄✨.
You can find some stunning archways on the way as well but unfortunately they are closed every night so try to come during the day and catch a good light! 
Bond street is a place where every high designer has a chance to show what they are made of. It is literally a Christmas decor fight this season and Stella McCartney chose to go with these beautiful neon lights! How creative! 
All I want for Christmas is: to pose here just like every insta friend visiting London.
This is definitely my favourite building! Wrapped like a present, Cartier totally nailed it!❤️
Regent street/ Oxford street: These decorations are slightly different every year but create a magical atmosphere.
The cute little restaurant (picture below) behind Victoria’s secret shop on New Bond street screams for a shot and is also a nice romantic place to have a dinner or evening cocktail.
2. Winter wonderland
The most stunning and alive place in London before Christmas is always Winter wonderland starting around the 20th of November. You will find every possible attraction, candy, meal or drink here from all around the world. It looks the best at night but get ready for masses of people at the entrance. 
Winter wonderland is another must-see and you surely need a couple of hours to actually stroll around and see everything. My advice is just to not try to win an unwinable game🤦🏻♀️😂 and just eat till you drop!
3. Covent garden/ Chelsea
I actually did not have a chance to go and visit the places this year due to a very busy work schedule but as a big insta-fan, I have seen many many pictures from here and I am sharing some shots of my favourite bloggers instead.
So I guess that is kind of all my loves, I hope you liked it and if you haven’t visited London, you will after reading this post. It is truly a magical city especially now and I am so blessed to be living here for over 2 years💁🏻♀️🇬🇧.
Have an amazing week, don’t stress too much about Christmas. Rest, bake and wrap✨✨✨!
Lots of Love,

It is finally Friyaaay!!! How are you guys doing? It has been a long week for me so I couldn´t be happier about the upcoming weekend. It is the last one here in Switzerland but I will just probably stay home, do some packing and chill… Anyway, I have a little confession to make: I have been cheating on beauty with travelling these past few months and it makes me feel so sad cause I really love makeup, skin care and all that good stuff. That is why I want to focus on beauty and fashion more on my blog:). So here we are: MY TOP 10 favourite products of the year (only 10?). 
They are all affordable, great quality, available online or in stores and pink of course… (Yup, pink obsession is still strongly on!)
1. Skin care first: Garnier Rose soothing water– it is vegan, dermatologically tested, 96% natural ingredients and it leaves your skin soft, clean and radiant. I use it on a daily basis and I can already see some improvement especially with m pores. 2. It goes well with the Rose moisturizing cream from the same edition. It smells beautiful just like the fresh pink roses actually and it makes my skin look matte which is great (cause I have a very oily/problematic/sensitive skin).
3./4. Another little treasure of mine are these cute nail polishes. Even though Essence and Flormar are just regular drugstore brands I looove the colour and quality of them so much. Essence Shine and Go shade 30 get ready is a really nice candy pink colour and Flormar Full color in the shade Wrap your beloved is a bright neon pink perfect for warmer seasons.
5. Another obsession is definitely this perfume pen from ZARA Black Peony. It smells better than the bouquet of flowers (peonies have always been my favourites). The scent is very feminine, sweet and strong at the same time (but not that strong to get a headache). The packaging is compact and easy to take whenever you go… 100 points to ZARA for making this!
6. Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe, herbs and rosewater is one of those things you never want to run out of. The mist was definitely love at the first sight. I use it all the time, whether I want to refresh my makeup during the day or simply hydrate the skin at the beach, it is perfect anytime, anywhere… And it smells soooo yummy! Also cruelty free, paraben free, great for sensitive skin too. What else can you ask for? Oh, I know… It costs less than 10$ online:D
7. I have been talking about NUXE dry oils for years now but I still use them and each and every one of them is simply a must-have. This shimmery one is perfect for a bronzey look in the summer (or actually anytime). It is a multi- purpose product for face, hair and body. It consists of 7 precious botanical oils, it is 100% natural and costs around 20$ on their website. Hurry up to get yours! I am sure you will love it as much as I do!
8./9. Same old same old, I know… I just cannot help it, I have been using KYLIE cosmetics liquid lipsticks for over 2 years now and they are my everyday go-to faves. I tried many different ones from the collection and all of them are great. Long lasting, vegan and affordable! We all get why is she a billionaire right? The shades Boy Bye and Angel are pinkish/nude/purpley shades which go with everything, I swear! The best lipsticks on market for sure!
10. Last but not least, I want to talk about Maybelline mascara LASH sensational (the first picture on the blog post). I tried it for the first time 6 months ago and I love it so so so much. It has a very small brush with 10 little bristles which creates a full fan effect (that is what the original description says). It thickens the eyelashes but it is still easily washable which is great. It costs just around 10$ and you can find it in every drugstore. 
That is all from my little beauty talk. Thank you so much for reading… I hope it was helpful and you learned something new as well:).
Take care, makeup and until next time,

Guten Tag my lovely readers!
Today, I am going to tell you about our weekend trip to the German part of Switzerland. It was just about time to visit the most typical place of this country: ALPS. Just a little warning at the beginning: this post has a looot of blue content:)!
Does this scenery not look like a wallpaper? But first things first… We (guess who I went with) left Lausanne (my temporary home) around 8.30 in the morning. It takes less than 2 hours to get to Interlaken and it is a nice chilled highway road. The forecast was not too optimistic but God or whoever up there heard our prayers out and the weather was actually lovely. I realized how much I love autumn and all of these colours around…
When we arrived to Interlaken, the first thing I noticed was an amazing fresh mountain air and this wooden statue. 
Interlaken is a traditional resort town lying between lakes Thunersee and Brienzersee. Just look at the pictures! Is this not the most turquoise water you have ever seen? No filter, nothing, I swear!
If it was summer, I would just jump in for sure…
Posing because why not?
We had a little walk near the lake, took gazillion photos and hit the road once again to our next destination…
At least that is what we thought and then I spotted this…
The mountains in the back truly look like painted by an artist which brings me to the fact that Mother Nature is the biggest artist… No doubt about that.
And as a huge donkey lover, I had to stop by and feed this cutie pie with some apple.
One of the saddest and most misused animals in the world, don´t you think?
Few more shots because these colours are just unbelievable…
One more sick/ill/tired smile… (Yeah, I forgot to mention that 2 days before this trip, I went for a run and due to the colder weather my body really did not enjoy it and gave me a lesson once again.)
And let´s go finally!
Next stop: Iseltwald, just 10 mins from Interlaken. It is a municipality on the shore of Lake Brienz (which had a similar colour of water actually), it is also a popular tourist destination especially in the winter. Just a few hotels, restaurants, friendly locals and a statue of goral again:).
Then we visited Aare Gorge in Meiringen.
And here we come! Aare Gorge is a river gorge with icy blue water which was created around 15,000 years ago just at the end of Ice age… Isn´t that wonderful?
It is a 3 km nice walk with a slippery surface but the views are so worth it, just take good shoes!
I guess I do not even have to comment on this, go and see for yourself:). I kept thinking about how canthe nature actually create this every second of this experience.
The price of the ticket is 9CHF which is actually quite reasonable. There is also a little restaurant and shop in case you want to refresh yourself or get a souvenir.
I am so glad I could see this place. Honestly, it is a must-see of Switzerland. I found it on Instagram few weeks ago and added to my map immediately. Do you also put a flag everywhere you want to go or already been? Well, it is my current obsession:). It just looks so organized and clear for a travel addict like me…
Last but not least, we visited Lauterbrunnen. It is a village surrounded by mountains, perfect for people who love hiking, skiing and all that good stuff. Those beautiful white peaks in the back are Alps and even though I really wanted to touch the snow that day, it was just way too far and unreachable by car.
What I think was way better than Alps is definitely this romantic waterfall and walk underneath.
And the view from there… Not a big village, is it? Still very magical though…
Staubbach Fall drops almost 300 metres from a hanging valley and it is definitely not the only one. This area is well-known for waterfalls flowing all the way from the iceberg peaks.
And we are getting to the end of this road trip. I loooooved all the places so much… I can honestly say that I explored the most of Swiss beauty now. How about you? Have you ever been here or planning to? Let me know, please:)! I am always keen on hearing your suggestions, stories, plans, destinations and all that good stuff.
That is all my loves, I hope you enjoyed this little virtual trip with me and just to let you know, I am staying here (in Swiss) for another 2 weeks and then back to my beloved London:). Thank you for stopping by and talk to you very soon!

Happy Monday to all the pink lovers out there!
I recently bought this beautiful eyeshadow palette (www.anastasiabeverlyhills.co.uk £46) so if you want to know more, here is my opinion:).
This product has been promoted a lot in the past months on the social media and as soon as I saw it, I had to have it (not like I need it)… I really loved the first eyeshadow collection from Carli Bybel the Deluxe palette (BH cosmetics) and I still use it on every day basis. And once again, I am not disappointed! The formula is highly pigmented especially the shimmery shades. The application is smooth, blending as well and you can go from very neutral every day makeup look to an evening occassion one. The variety of shades is just unique!
Also, it is totally worth the money cause you get 14 shades plus the brush all in a cute packaging. 
The brush has both sides but I personally prefer using my fingers for a thick shimmery eyeshadow application, well anyway, it is quite good for blending though and creating the crease on the eyes. I would rate the brush 7/10. 
The first 7 shades have more of a cool undertone (BOLI, BYBEL, MANDALA, LIBRA, JODE, OA, BOIE). There are 4 matte shades and 3 shimmerry pigments. I personally really like the purplish/pearl one called MANDALA. The first one from the left can also be used as a highlighter or the eyeshadow base. 
The quality is so good, the matte ones don´t look too powdery and the pressed pigments are not sticky at all. 
The other half of the palette is my favourite! I love all the warm shades, they are easily combined, neutral and great for summer/autumn season.
The names are: BEAR, MOO, CHAI, CINDY, STEV, AURA and MY ANGELS. As Carli explained in her video, most of the names are her cat´s names or nicknames of her family members. My top shade is the rose gold pigment MOO (the second from left). It makes my eyes look more awake, dewy, glowy and this shade goes with any outfit, I swear!
When it comes to packaging, it is so pretty you just want to put it on a shelf as a decorative piece and never touch it again. It can also be a nice statement on a dressing table/beauty corner. Loooove it so much and not just because it is pink. The pearls have a 3D glittery structure which is super cool and rose gold writing and details add a bit of fancy vibe too. 11/10 for sure:DDD. Great job Carli x Anastasia!
I can´t wait to create some mesmerizing shimmery looks with this palette. It definitely is a must-have! More about beauty and fashion is coming soon (as soon as I am back in London, hopefully) so keep checking out my blog! Thanks for reading and talk to you again soon.

Hi guys, I hope you are having a nice and calm Sunday cause I am not:D. Just came back from London where I only spent 2 quick days seing my boo. Time passes extremely fast when you are happy/ travel and explore new places…
This weekend, we decided to go to Mersea island (2 hour drive from London). To be honest, I only know this place from Instagram but it is really as pretty as the pics. These pastel houses are literally the cutest/doll/candy/ insta call them whatever you want. 
Each one is original and yet similar.
The strong wind made it almost impossible to take a good pic even though it was quite warm and sunny for October.
The beach was absolutely empty so we took a nice walk.
I could not take my eyes off them… Super lovely! You just want to eat them/ live there like a doll.
Which one is your favourite:)?
All smiley cause I found my pink paradise:).
I did not really know what to wear cause my closet is kind of in the boxes at the moment but I knew it had to be pink:). So this pastel cardigan with the bird pattern (H&M) made me merge with the surrounding. (Light pink leather boots DEICHMANN)
This is my fave pic… I can´t even guess how many of them there is.
When on beach…
If you are looking for a day trip outside London, Mersea island is a great place. You can also find there beautiful countryside, beaches, parks and all that good stuff. More from the weekend on the blog very very soon:).
Until then,

Hi guys🙋🏻♀️!
Thank you so much for reading another of my travel posts✈️🌍. I have been wandering around a lot recently and I can’t wait to share my thoughts about the place I visited last week. Without any further delay, let’s get into it!
5/10/19 Saturday, Lausanne: National park- Parc Gruyére had been on my bucket list for a while but I wasn´t sure where exactly to go… And then my other half came and decided instead of me so we just put the name Chateau d´Oex in the GPS and hit the road… 
It took us less than 2 hours to get there from Lausanne and the landscapes we saw on the way were simply breathtaking. As soon as we reached the park, the air changed, cows appeared and that moment, I knew I saw the real Switzerland:)…
We stopped to see this little waterfalls and an amazing turqouise lake on the way. Look at that colour of the lake! Maldives can be really ashamed!
A bit personal but cute smiley pic of me and my love/ travel buddy… We just loved this trip from the beginning to an end.
One thing I always notice when travelling is the architecture and these wooden cottages really got under my skin. I just wanted to photograph them and admire.
So pretty, isn´t it?
For those of you who didn´t know, the first hot-air balloon flight around the world started its journey in this village and took 20 days. They flew almost 43,000 km. Absolutely marvellous!
Back to our trip… In the middle of the village, there is a small church on a hill with a fountain and a cute squirrel sculpture.
And a clock tower of course.
This is a view from the area around the church.So picturesque, you want to stay there and live!Fog in the back but smile on a face…
The weather was not the best, it was raining almost every 10 minutes but we wanted to go up up up up…
Except the many cows we saw, there were also huge grasslands. I guess I am not the only one who compares the shade of green anywhere I go, but this green was just (OH MY) sooo pretty green! Does that sound weird? Anyway, we walked for an hour or so and admired the surrounding.
Another traditional wooden cottage.
Due to the windy and rainy weather, we couldn´t get to the peak of the mountain but we did lovely 15km which was accurate for a 1 day trip. Later, we had a lunch in one of the local restaurants, visited the tourist centre/ souvenir shop and went back home in the afternoon. I honestly loved all about this place, so calm, peaceful and pretty… I cannot wait to go hiking this weekend as well. There is so much to see here…
I hope you have a chance to visit Switzerland one day because it really is a magical place… Two months here and I am in love… I say it often right? Well, that is a destiny of a travel addict, I guess😃.
Take care, enjoy your life and until next time

🇮🇹💚🙋🏻♀️Cinque Terre is mostly known for the perfect insta pics but what is it really like? I went and found out for myself. Sadly, I have to admit, it is a bit overcrowded and quite expensive but I still enjoyed seing it:).
Cinque Terre is actually a national park and consists of 5 lovely seaside villages: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza, Monterosso and Corniglia. We only managed to see 2 of them because of the ridiculous parking and lack of time. 
Seing Liguria had been my dream for a few years and I couldn´t wait to visit this place. Unfortunately, when you are too excited about something, it never ends up well. 
What you see on Instagram is probably just a photoshop or very old pictures from the times when it was not popular but reality is a bit different. 
Do not come with a car, chance to park is almost impossible so it is better to take a train or just walk from one village to another. Also, do not come in the summer, there is way too much people and the experience is definitely not the same when you have to fight for a seat in a restaurant or beach or simply take a nice picture. 
For those of you who know me, I have an obsession with colorful houses so I enjoyed that part a lot:).
Pink ones are the best of course…
Most of them look old but it only adds to the magic of this place.
Italy is a religious country so church in every village is inevitable.
Streets are full of tourists since early morning (locals must be very excited about that:D).
You can try a delicious tiramisu or even fish and chips like we did. Prices aredefinitely higher than in the other parts of Italy but one must eat, I suppose…
Gardens, vineyards and these views…
Vernazza
Not very sandy beaches…
Manarola
One insta pic… @bylesilee
Looking like a pink candy cotton:D
This cat really got me.
Hair in the air…
My favourite view…
Overall, I am very glad I could visit Cinque Terre and tick off my bucket list. Despite of all the tourists, there is still some magic left. Italy is a wonderful country and this is one of the must-see places. Just not in the summer… 
I am planning to publish much more from our trip so stay tuned if you like it, alright? Thank you so much for reading and until next time: take care, enjoy your daily adventures and…

🙋🏻♀️😘Hello my beautiful friends,
(Just a quick post from 🇫🇷France…)
Last weekend, we spent in Evian which is a little village opposite Lausanne (where I live now). You can get a ferry from Ouchy (it only takes 35 mins) and spend the whole day strolling around. Evian is not big at all but there are few lovely places worth to see.
The first stop was a shop right next to the natural Evian spring called Cachat. They do personalized bottles and have a big variety of Evian and different flavours. I did a little shopping as well 😍😃 (obviously)…
Happy and hydrated, we went to see the spring. You can see the original one on the picture below (it is closed at the moment due to renovation works being done). But you can still see the beautiful light pink fountain and the spring just at the other side of the square. 💕💕💕Yeeeah, it is all pastel pink!!!
This fountaine is so pretty (the female represents a typical Evian logo).
The original spring inside a bar.
The main street is full of cafés, restaurants and I can definitely recommend a lovely bakery (don’t remember the name) near the pharmacy. We had a little snack there and dinner a bit later at one of the local restaurants. 
There is one thing Italy, Spain and France have in common. Colourful houses!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Obviously, I wanted to buy Evian with my name on it but it would take couple of days for the customised order to arrive into the store so I just got this one that says the most beautiful thing:
For all the insta queens, Evian has its own hashtag #evian❤️ (this is right next to the lake promenade)
It probably takes a while to get from the port to the end of the village through this beautiful romantic promenade so we only walked a bit. 
And took some original pics on the way…
Every little corner looks so aesthetically pleasing… The French really take care of the area.
My favourite building in the town: Ancient spa.
After a little walk, it is time for a drink…
Pink spring! You can come here and get as much water as you want, it tastes sooo good and it is free! Evian 4eveeeer! (The picture below: Evian logo)
Ancient spa with 4 different natural springs. It looks stunning and this place is used as a beautiful gallery now. We did not have time to go inside but I think the entrance was fascinating enough.
One romantic mirror selfie at the end💑… (Evian ancient spa)
Thank you so much for stopping by and I really hope you enjoyed reading about my experience in Evian.
Until next time,
Lots of love,

Ola ola from Madrid🇪🇸❤️🙋🏻♀️😍!
Before I start with the usual stuff like: how lovely this city is and how many pink houses there are, I have to tell you that I live in Switzerland (Lausanne) at the moment. It is just a temporary work solution but travelling became a bit more complicated for me. You probably know that Swiss is not a cheap country to live in and also flying from and to Geneva might get quite expensive. Anyway, because I am here and my beloved one is not, we had to come up with a way how to see each other and do not bankrupt. So here we are! Madrid, Spain, not even 48 hours, no stress… (We decided to meet every 2 weeks and always somewhere else. It is romantic and hectic at the same time!)
24/08/19 Somewhere over Swiss: ✈️Flying with Iberia for the first time! Had a lovely flight, no sickness, and the view😍❤️! 
Airport Madrid: I bought Evian right after the arrival and what really made my day was this limited edition bottle. I come from Slovakia🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰 but they only had Czech, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Cyprus. Czech has always been very close to my heart🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 so I got this one😍. 
Let´s talk about Madrid finally!
El Retiro park: After getting to the city centre (30 mins by bus and metro), we saw this stunning fountain and reflection of the cathedral in it. First stop was obvious then…
Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of it which is sad but I know it is right next to El Retiro park.
This Roman catholic church seemed even more beautiful from the inside.
We came just before the end of the mass so we sat still for a bit and admired the beauty.
There is actually a wide road between El Retiro park and the mentioned cathedral. (The arc in the end reminds me of Champs- Elyseés.)
El Retiro park is much more fun than Hyde park! Lots of hidden corners, cafés, lakes and what I loved the most was Monumento a Alfonso XII (pictures below). 
I just wanted to stroll between the arches and take a gazillion pics of course.
I will rather not go into the details of me climbing up (footage was destroyed right after the act:D).
We only waited like 30 mins to take a great photo without any people. So worth it!
Such a majestic place!
View from the other side of the park.
Later, we discovered another beautiful part of the park, Crystal palace with its mesmerizing white sculptures. (And I was wondering why my boyfriend stared at this one for such a long time…)
It was actually boiling hot inside (greenhouse effect).
Masses of tourists everywhere… Impossible to take a nice shot:( but at least the sculptures posed well.
We got a bit tired after seeing the palace so just chilled and watched the turtles for a while. Can you spot any?
Crystal palace from the outside.
When I get Mojito– thirsty, I just have to have it right away! It is my new summer addiction, wheeey! (Actually, I ordered many of them in Italy but none of them was so nice and sweet like this one. Spanish can do it better!)
We stayed in Hotel Ganivet, had a quick shower, changed clothes and chop chop to explore Madrid!
I have a special 6th sense for pink houses, that is why I found some right after leaving the hotel:).
We strayed into a´this nice street with Tapas restaurants and had a lovely dinner & mojitos of course.
Veggie yummy for my tummy:)
To be honest, Madrid is not that big. Two days are absolutely fine to see all the important places.
Catedral de Santa Maria
Palacio Real de Madrid
Atmosphere here around 7pm on Saturday was simply magical. Song Lost on you by LP performed by amazing local artists, sunset, these beautiful historical buildings, 2 mojitos in the belly and love of your love holding your hand… What else can you ask for?
Inside the cathedral
Huge, gothic and majestic!
Of course I had to have a photo on the stairs.
Plaza de Espaňa: the tallest building in Madrid, famous luxurious hotel but only a house for us passing by and looking at a very long que to get upstairs.
Receptionist at the hotel recommended us to go to the Temple and see the view and sunset but because of my slow walking and ice cream shop on the way, we came late and this is the best shot I´ve got:/.
25/08/19 Hotel Ganivet: Delicious breakfast, full belly and so ready for our Sunday in Madrid:).
So many cute streets everywhere…
Lovin this one too much…
Rockin it in my new green dress from Mulaya with the cutest pom poms!!!
Discovering amazing Sunday markets:).
Where you can buy probably anything…
These flamenco dresses!
Beautiful desings…
This wall art!
And this dress!!!
Spanish vibes everywhere…
Hand made summer clothes…
Pretty pink door covers…
It all felt like a Latin dream. 
After recovering from a shopaholic extasy, Plaza de Mayor (and the ice cream) awaits…
These buildings remind me of other European capitals like Paris, Vienna or even London.
But that exotic Spanish air (40 degrees and boiling I mean) is unmistakable.
And we are slowly going back to the place where we started this little big journey.
Last Spanish MOJITO in El Retiro park…
Just before going to the airport, I wanted to see my fave place again and pose in the new snake print skirt by Mulaya.
Thinking about how lucky I am to see so many beautiful places.
Tired but happy face.
Just a random pic from the park at the end…
TO SUM UP: Honestly, I fell in love with Madrid very quickly… I cannot wait to go back to Spain later this month for Santiago de Compostella walk |more about that later|. Its colours, taste and life truly inspires and I finally get what Hemingway meant by: I have never been to a city where there is less reason to go to bed and if I did go to bed, to sleep… E.H. about Madrid
Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed it and will come back for more soon…

And the adventure continues… I must admit that the west coast of Italy is like a dream. My dream… The sea views, colourful houses, lots of ice cream. What else could I ask for?
Day 3 of our Italy road trip: After a long journey throughout the outback, we arrived to a beautiful city of Salerno in the evening. We stayed in B&B near the sea which was super cute and affordable (14 Leoni).We went for a night stroll later, had some pizza or pasta (can´t remember) on the main promenade and enjoyed a romantic walk next to the sea.
You would never believe that this city was founded many years BC. Salerno seems like a modern touristy place. It has a vibrant centre, lots of restaurants and cafes, beautiful long beaches and primarily amazing ceramics factories. 
Tyrrhenian sea and the port in Salerno.
Picturesque tiles everywhere… So pretty!
I have to buy a magnet everywhere I go as a souvenir. And these ones are all handmade in the local factory.
When life gives you lemons… Especially the Italian ones:)
Make a lemonade or just eat them! The quality and taste is incomparably better, all fresh and local fruit and veggies. It is also super affordable, this is what I call: My kind of paradise:)
When speaking about paradise… (Day 4: Amalfi and Positano)
Amalfi and Positano are towns right next to each other, quite similar actually… 
But I chose to see Positano because it had been on my bucket list (thanks to Instagram) for a while. We came around lunch time and it was already packed with tourists which is kind of obvious but I was still hoping it would not be that bad. You need to leave a car quite far from the beach and then take loooots of stairs to get to the bottom where all the narrow streets, shops and restaurants are.
We found this amazing spot by an accident, but I could not be happier. Perfect for seing all in once (sea, town, beach, everything).
The houses are built on the reefs which creates a beautiful view. But I guess, I would not want to go up and down every day:D…
I found this insta-pinky corner for a photo in my new dress from Salerno.
And also a pink house… Obviously…
And some pink ibiscus:)
And this sleeping cutie on the stairs:)
The beach was overcrowded so we only stayed there for an hour or so and had some snack. I wanted to see the typical shops and buy a magnet, of course.
And when I saw all of this beautiful ceramics with lemon deco, I wanted to buy a house and decorate it straight away:D. 
This table was simply love at the first sight… I am planning to buy it one day and put it in my dining room.
Overall, Positano was amazing and I am really glad we had a chance to see it. The prices are much higher than in Salerno of course but place as such is definitely worth it. If you want to know more about our road trip and where we went next, stay tuned for another blog post…
Thanks a lot for reading and once again,

Buongiorno everyone!
I cannot believe the summer is already over… Holidays always pass quicker than any other part of the year, that is life I guess. But I do not want to complain at all! I enjoyed this summer a looot, first Sardinia, then this amazing roadtrip through Italy and where I went after that, you will see in another blog post.
BOLOGNA
But first things first… It all started on 31/07 in Bologna… Do you want to know why we chose this city? Well, I have to admit that Ryanair surprised with the cheapest flight again and it only cost 10 euros (Bratislava- Bologna). I reunited with my beloved one there and we rent a car at the airport (which is btw much more expensive than a flight to New York, I suppose). We stayed in a nice hotel- 20 mins from the city centre (which we booked via booking.com) and next day, the adventure started. Bologna is a historic capital of northern Italy for sure. Its centre with arched colonnades, cafes, renaissance buildings will definitely charm all the visitors. It took us just a couple of hours to walk through the city and we saw all the most important parts of this beauty. Honestly, I could not be more happier about the starting point. Add Bologna to your bucket list, guys!
This fountaine with the beautiful stairs seemed like an entrance to the historic centre. It fascinated us so badly that we took a gazillion pictures and just sat and chilled there for a little bit. (featured image taken there as well)
Lots of orange and yellow buildings…
Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna.
We threw some coins into the Fountain of Neptune for luck and continued to the beautiful Basilica di San Petronio.
I have this thing with the door entrances… So pretty!
Shame, we could not stay till the evening open air cinema.
But we climbed up the tower of Basilica and the view was so beautiful! Look at these red roofs! 
Italy is known for the big amount of fountains and I am sure I saw at least 5 in Bologna.
Let´s take a moment and appreciate beauty of these arches. I fell in love. Honestly, never seen anything like this before.
These details… They always look a bit different in each arch.
I´ve got like 6 videos from here (dancing/walking/spinning in the skirt:D).
You can also find some religious motifs on the walls.
My favourite part of Bologna is this typical Italian street. It doesn´t seem like much but its cuteness totally got me. (I have this thing with the Italian streets as well:D)
We also found an amazing spot to eat. I highly recommend this Pasticceria.
All fresh and yummy! And that Bio Cola was (how to describe it) simply indescribable. It had nothing to do with the usual Coke, we know.
There are two of them, actually. Asinelli towers or Le due Torri are the symbol of Bologna. They are located in the wider centre and you can climb up if you want (which we did not know:D and it was too hot anyway:D).
I had to take a pic of these beauties. Found a cute little shop with handmade jewellery under the towers (but the prices were ouuch!).
Matching with the yellow wall:)
We tried pasta, tiramisu and ice cream the first day and all of it was typically Italian delicious.
We continued to Rimini so we could swim in the sea after a tasty lunch and the water was just yummy/ warm/ clean/ want to stay there forever:D 
It was not busy at the beach either which is unexpected for the longest one in Europe.
Some poses with the attractions in the back.
After a nice relax at the beach, evening stroll in the centre of Rimini, Very quiet, small and cute town.
I really like this tower with 2 clocks.
And the castle at night…
We arrived to Pescara very late that night so just slept a bit and woke up early to enjoy a nice swimming in the warm sea again. 
It started raining suddenly so we just had breakfast and hit the road once again. The worst part was to get from the east coast to the west coast of Italy… Hours and hours in the car, some sickness on the way but it was all worth it. You will see it very soon…
Our adventure continues…

Hello everyone,
I just came back from this year’s first holidays and I am super excited to share some tips and pics with you.
3 months ago, I decided the destination. Sicily was beautiful so why not visit that island close by? I wanted to have different holidays this time as well. No 5* hotels, all inclusive nor luxury. It was actually quite inexpensive when you consider the fact that I booked the accomodation through Airbnb and the flight tickets via Ryanair.
TRAVELLING
The flight only takes 1 hour and 45 mins which is relatively close. It is an Itallien island which means no visa or currency exchange. You can fly to 3 destinations from Slovakia: Alghero, Olbia or Cagliari. Alghero is in the west part of the island and is very close to the airport.
ACCOMODATION
We stayed in the small village called Fertilia which is located just 15 mins by bus from Alghero. It was a quiet place where you could only meet people in the evening. Fertilia is not a typical touristy crowded destination. In fact, it only has 3 restaurants, 2 cafés, 1 supermarket and 1 fancy hotel, hovewer you can find lots of lovely private accomodations here.
BEACHES
The beach we visited the most often is called Punta Negra and is situated in a lagoon in Fertilia. It definitely has the clearest and warmest sea in the area. As you probably saw on my Instagram, the water is what I call turqouise and the sand is very soft and bright. Half of this beach belongs to the one and only hotel in Fertilia but the other part is for public use. I strongly recommend bringing your own food, drinks and sun umbrella cause there is no bar or restaurant and most importantly no shade😃.
Another beach we visited is well known Maria Pia. To be honest, it was a big disappointment for me as I saw the pics from the beach before and expected something totally different. The sea was quite dirty, the beach was full of natural rubbish from the sea and the smell (probably from canalization) I do not need to comment.
What I really liked on the other hand was a beach situated 45 mins from Fertilia called Bombarde. It is one of the most popular beaches in the area so the amount of people can be a bit overwhelming but Bombarde has got everything you need. Clean sea, lots od bars and restauants, toilets/showers and beach sellers offering everything and anything😃.
CITY OF ALGHERO
I am a street wanderer when it comes to exploring unknown town and Alghero definitely is a cutie pie. This place has got so many alleys that you can go there every day and still find a new narrow street. The food is brilliant here as well and gelato💜🍦💙😍, oh my! Yet small but quite busy city centre also offers satisfaction for shopaholics (souvenirs, elegant mode, underwear/swimwear, simply anything you can dream of) all made in Italy of course🇮🇹. You can also take trips to different places like Grotto di Nettuno, La Pelosa etc. I truly liked this place and definitely want to come back soon.
OUR TRIP TO CAPPO CACCIA
We only stayed in Sardinia for a week which is not that long if you don’t rent a car so we took just one trip. I knew I wanted to see the Neptun’s cave before and I knew I wouldn’t regret. There are 2 ways how to get to Cappo Caccia, by boat or bus. We took a boat from Alghero (15€ pp) and it took around 45 mins. I enjoyed the ride, the view is simply mesmerizing, I swear! You need to pay for the entrance separately (12€) and if you don’t want to wait for hours in a que, go early in the morning and during the week if possible. It is hard to describe the beauty of the cave, you need to see for yourself, but I am so glad I visited this place😉🥰.
I hope you liked this post and I am looking forward to write more stuff very very soon as I am planning few more trips this summer.
Lots of love,

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
This is pretty cool, huh?! I am just about to share the most favourite and also the most personal part of my life… I hope you will like all that aesthetically pleasing stuff and thank you so much for stopping by…
Let´s start with some general info! I moved to this flat on April and it has been love ever since… I just love coming back here from work. And my room? It is like my own oasis, heaven, hideaway, anything and everything. It might sound materialistic but it is very important to feel good at the place where you sleep and live… The flat itself is quite spacious, bright and warm so it was not too difficult to make it a bit more cosy. This is my London baby!
When you enter the room, this is what you will see. My bed is from IKEA and I absolutely love the design. The quality of bed could have been better but what would I want for 80 pounds, right?! It is a regular double bed (not sure about the exact measurements), suitable for one or couple (if the guys feet are not too long:D). Haha… Anyway, I keep changing the bedding all the time but this one is new and there are pink peonies, my favourites! (From Morrisons) The pink bunny, I got last year around Christmas (from Clintons) and it is my favourite thing in the whole world:). The little dream catcher, I got from my aunt. 
I bought these beautiful roses yesterday and put them next to my bed on a small night table (Ikea). I do not like having too much stuff there: book, flowers and phone is just enough.
On the window desk, I have some plants, books, pink Eiffel tower from Paris, crystal heart, ceramic bunnies also from Paris, Primark cherry blossom candle (smells soooooo good), piece of wood that I found on the Wreck beach in Vancouver and a small box with another candle:D… Lovely still life, isn´t it?
One of my favourite books Pretty City London is a great inspiration for all the insta freaks living or visiting this city. I also have some baking books, journals etc. Opposite the window, there is a chest of drawers and clothing rack right next to it (both Ikea). They are very practical and fit perfectly into the style and size of the room.
Rose gold is the best!
Another candle (because I am obsessed with them) is from Primark. My all time favourite scent- Fig blossom! Yummyyy! The golden jewellery stand with marble base is from Debenhams just like the tray and brush holder. 
I put all of my everyday skin care products and foundations together. 
I split all the brushes that I use and also the most used lipsticks into this cute holder. It looks very organized and clean. (Just in case you didn´t kow, Matte liquid lipsticks from Kylie cosmetics have been my must-haves for over 2 years now.)
Brushes (BH cosmetics)
From left: Diorskin Forever primer, Dior Forever foundation, Estée Lauder Double Wear, Nuxe body dry oil, Just pink by Next, Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf, Clinique moisturize surge gel, Dior samples, Balmi lip balm Topshop.
And last but not least, some wall art of course! This poster with the painting by Marie Laurenrin is just perfection itself. Combination of the pinkish and grey shades creates a beautiful harmony. I got it in Musée de l´Orangerie in Paris this summer. 
When I wake up in the morning, I need some motivation from tim to time so I put this map on the wall opposite the bed and I marked all the places I saw and will see in the near fiuture. I work because I want to travel and I travel because I want to live as much as possible! (the map is from New look)
That is all from me today… I believe you liked this post and maybe got a bit of inspiration as well. Do not forget to hit the thumbs up button or share it. Thanks in advance:)!
Lots of Love,

For those who do not know me: Hi, I am Lesi! I love travelling more than chocolate (it is a very close win) and I have been obsessed with makeup and pink colour for the past 4 years. Sounds silly? Maybe… Anyway, I have decided to share all that good stuff on my blog so thanks for reading, looking or whatever you are doing here right now:). 
I just came back from Canada. Yes, Canada! Originally, it was not even on my bucket list but when a travel addict gets a chance to go, you know how it ends. Before I start talking about everything I saw and liked, I have to point out 3 things. First: it was a dream of mine, I just didn´t know it. Second: nature has such a strong ability to calm down. And third: it is Heaven on Earth. Literally…
It all started on the 31st of August when I was asked to go. I only had a month to get ready, make a plan, buy a waterproof jacket (cause they call it Raincouver/ not Vancouver) and pack. All I knew about Canada was that it is known for its famous maple syrup and is really good at the hockey. Not much, I know. Luckily for me, my cousin who has been living there for years told me everything I needed to know, recommended places to see and made me feel so special and excited about visiting this beautiful country. We flew from London to Vancouver and stayed there for 2 weeks. The flight was quite long (ca 9 hours) and annoying. I did not sleep at all but I did enjoy the food at least (thanks British airways for giving me the best vegetarian pasta and caramel cake). We landed around 6pm on 06/10/18. It was already dark but the excitement that I felt was undescribable. We took a taxi to our lovely house in North Vancouver and the trip could have started. 
This is the list of places we were planning to see: North Vancouver- 1. Lynn Valley, 2. Grouse Mountain gondola, 3. Capilano suspension bridge, West Vancouver- 4. Lighthouse park, Vancouver- 5. Kitsilano beach, Wreck beach, Spanish beach, 6. English bay, 7. Stanley park, 8. Science world museum, 9. Gastown, 10. Chinatown, 11. Granville island, Outside of Vancouver- 12. Squamish, 13. Shanon Waterfalls, 14. Whistler (Lost lake, Alta lake, Green lake, Olympic village)… and we managed to see everything and even more.
I will start with the North Vancouver where we stayed and discovered the most. It is separated from the downtown by ocean so you have to take a ferry or pass the bridge by bus/car. North Vancouver is basically a huge mountain full of typical American houses with their own drives. Each of them is lovely and unique. There is only one main street called Lonsdale with all the shops, restaurants, cafés etc. When you walk down to the Quay it is fine but otherwise it is a constant up the hill walk. What definitely was the highlight of this place is the incredible view from the Grouse mountain. There is a gondola going up every few mins and then you can get to the top by a chairlift. When the weather is good you can see not only the Vancouver itself but also all the small islands nearby (Vancouver island- Tofino) etc. Simply stunning! I only took few pics very carefully on my way up.
Then, we went to explore another part of the city, more precisely- beach. This was one of the places where I forgot about all the problems and just enjoyed the moment. The feeling of real happiness does exist and it is the best of all. 
Did you know that Vancouver is the only city in the world where you can swim in the ocean and ski down the mountain on the same day? These pictures are from the Kistilano beach (the baby is not mine unfortunately), which is usually very crowded during the summer. There are unbelievably many places to see, things to do. Anyone can relate. This city is just so versatile! Panorama of skyscrapers, mountains, neverending ocean= all in one. So beautiful! 
Kitsilano beach is not far from the Granville island where we visited the popular market which offers delicious food, souvenirs, clothes, art, simply everything. Great dinner spot for sure!
Granville island 
Sunset over Mosque, Kitsilano beach
Kitsilano (Grouse mountain in the back). Speaking about beaches, I cannot forget to mention another one called Wreck beach. Totally different, wild but truly mesmerizing! Pictures only capture half of the beauty but look!
TO TRAVEL IS TO LIVE!
The most beautiful sunsets are definitely here. I wish I was able to describe exactly what I felt but you just have to see it with your own eyes. Only words that come to my mind are: spectacular, touching, breathtaking! This is the place where I found my peace. It took me a bit longer but it was so worth it.
That was just the first part of the Canada segment but another one is coming tomorrow. Thank you so much for reading and I can´t wait to share more travel posts with you.
Lots of Love,
By Lesi Lee
First, I wish you all very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Second, I am still in London and more in love than ever. One of my resolutions is to get to know this city better and share all the good stuff like where to go and what to see here. Today’s travel/ fashion post is special so I hope you like it as much as I do. 
As you can see from the cover photo, I visited Peggy Porschen cakes recently. It was a dream of mine to see this place and eat the cupcake so I am really happy to tick this off my bucket list. These beautiful handmade decorations took my breath away before I even stepped into the store and the light pink colour of the building itself was just like: ‘Oh yeah, I just found my heaven on earth!’ feeling for me. 
So pretty and pink!
But the most important thing is the cake of course. All of them looked beautiful and aesthetically pleasing but I chose only the chocolate cupcake and raspberry macron. They are a bit pricey but so worth it and delicious!
I can’t wait to go back there in the spring to see a different decoration and try another lovely cake. I might also do the baking masterclass in Peggy Porschen academy so I am super excited!

P.S. Clap your hands if you like pink!:DDD
Hello my lovely readers,
today I want to share some big news in this post! I moved to London recently and I am planning to stay here for a couple of months. It was a spontaneous idea but I do not regret it so far. London is really exciting, there are so many beautiful things to see and probably one of the most surprising places for me was Notting hill. I always loved the movie but I never expected the real place to be so colorful. As you can see from the pictures, there are hundreds of lovely houses which have amazing variety of colors and strolling around the famous Portobello market is just magical. 
This is probably my favorite pic.
And this is my favorite dream pink house.
Notting hill is very famous for its Portobello market. It has a long tradition but because of the many tourists, they only sell the souvenirs there nowadays.
Piece of art everywhere.
Typical souvenirs of London are T-shirts, postcards, bags and many other things with the dominants of the city. 
Notting hill got under my skin the second I walked in there. It is a bit crowded but the atmosphere and the area is just great. It definitely belongs to Top places to see in London. I will try to do more travel posts from London to show you where to go and what to see.
Until next time,
Lots of Love by L.L.
Florals? For summer? Groundbreaking!!! I just had to put this famous paraphrase from Devil wears Prada into the post. The summer is slowly ending and I realized that I have not worn so many dresses yet! But first things first, let´s talk about this beautiful maxi floral dress from Italy. The combo of colors, pattern, material, shape, everything about it is great and when I say everything, I really mean it…
Maxi dress and sandals are perfect for the warm summer strolls…
Florals are quite significant so no extra jewellery is needed. I just paired it with a small white crossbody bag and some simple opalite bracelets which are my favourite this season.
Yellow eyeliner? Why not? It is chic, fresh and so cuuute! This look was created with the following products: Rimmel Perfection foundation 200, L.A.Girl concealer Porcelain, W7 Hoola bronzer, Koko K liquid lipstick Kylie cosmetics, Botanical color eye pencil 13 Citron Yves Rocher, White Jumbo pencil NYX, Lots of lashes mascara Maybelline
Not dancing just turning around and looking creepy:D
This is probably one of my favourite looks and I really hope that summer will last a little longer so I can rock these types of outfits more. 
I hope you liked this fashion post and until next time,
Lots of love

Long time, no see… I know. Everything except blogging keeps me busy. Anyway, I am back from my holidays in Croatia and excited to share my summer adventures. 
It all started on the ferry from Drvenik (where we stayed for a week) to Sučuraj. It did not take long but the views I got to see were incredible. Mountains, sea and the yachts looked like cut from a very kitshy poster.
Arriving to Sučuraj, there is a lovely lighthouse right next to the sea. Since we wanted to see the capital city of Hvar (which is also called Hvar unexpectedly:D), we had to travel through the whole island. The roads are really zigzag in there so my stomach was not too happy about it.
Anyway, the goal was worth it. City of Hvar lies near the sea but is also surrounded by mountains. The dominant part is this beautiful ancient castle (where we did not go due to a very high temperature and laziness :D). 
Hvar is one of the most favourite destinations for American tourists (even Beyonce comes here often). 
Unfortunately, I have not met her…
But what I saw and enjoyed was the view from the roof top. The architecture of the city mostly consists of the old stone houses and narrow streets with cafés, shops and restaurants. It was literally like 100 degrees so I used every chance to hide from the sun and blend in the tiny shady corners. 
The ships come and go every minute during the summer season.
Postcards from Hvar…
The painting of locals…
Cute colorful flower pots on the walls…
Exclusive designer shoes…
This is what Hvar has to offer. And even more…
I found this cutie hiding from the sun so I took a picture of her. Isn´t she adorable?
When we left the capital, we continued our journey to other towns like Starigrad and Jelsa. But they are not by far as pretty as this one. Croatia has around 1000 islands but Hvar is considered to be the most beautiful, colourful and magical by many people. And I have to agree, this trip was a highlight of my summer for sure.
Thank you for reading and till the next post, have a great summer and lots of love!

There is no better way how to celebrate the 25th birthday than visiting these beautiful lavender fields in Hungarian Provence (Pannonhalma). They look really pretty and visitors can collect lavender and create small bouquets. Lavender is quite aromatic and is often used dried for teas, lemonades, spices and cooking and baking in general. 
Laughing because the bees were attacking me and people were watching me:D…
How did you like this post? Aesthetically pleasing, right:)?
I wish you all a beautiful summer and lots of love!

Santorini is not only the best place to take instapics but also an amazing destination for travel addicts like me. I felt in love with the white houses with blue details immediately. 
There are more than 1 800 churches on the island. All the greek families had to built a church near to the house in the past so they could celebrate family weddings and funerals inthere.
All the narrow streets with shops, cafés and tavernas will melt your heart as soon as you get to the centre of Oia.
Many loving couples come to the island and leave a locker here with a wish of eternal love. It might be only a tradition but the island itself is magical and I cannot imagine any better place for a honeymoon than Santorini. (Hopefully, my boyfriend is reading this :D).
Hello my lovely readers!
Today, I am going to review the new lipsticks by AVON for you. As you already know, I am a lipstick junkie/nerd/lipholic- called it whatever you want, I am just obsessed with these new goodies! I would never believe that AVON creates such a miracle in the beauty industry. The new lipsticks PLUMP IT are supposed to make your lips look bigger and moisturize them at the same time. And they really do the job. They are not matte at all, their creamy texture is perfect, they dry up fast but do not look drain. I chose the colours that are wearable throughout the year. From the super nude to bright red. All five shades are great and cute! The price is very affordable (around 6 euros each). 
And the packaging is just suuuuuper cute! Black and white…you know what follows…
They perfectly match my beauty desk scenary.
Which one is your favourite shade? I think I love all of them:)
I wish you all the best and until next time…
Lots of Love,

Did you know that each stone has a power? And did you know that you can carry this power wherever you go? 
Bracelets made from semi- precious stones can bring you love, stress relief or even detox for your body and they look so beautiful!
Crystal: It is a transparent stone which has a widespread use. It brings the positive energy, improves intuition and helps with meditation. Crystal is one of the most important stones because it might decrease the physical pain (or fever) and clear the mind. It is always good to have a crystal at home and hold it in the hand when needed (or you can wear a bracelet, the effect is the same).
Onyx: This black stone is generally known as the energy one (similar to Ying Yang). It can help physically but also mentally. It balances the body with the space. Onyx can reduce the inclination to the addictions as well which is why it is so popular nowadays.
Hematite: It is a shiny black stone with the protective power. Hematite can clear the blood and it is also good for the memory. The harmony of the body and soul is another important effect of this beautiful stone.
Snowflake Obsidian: It is a stone of purity. Obsidian can bring the balance to the body mind and spirit. In the past, people used it for a better skin and vains.
Coral: This red miracle does not only look good but has so many great effects at the same time. It intensifies the mother/child love. It calms the emotions and might also fight against the bad vibrations. It brings the energy and warmth. However, people who suffer from anxiety should not wear it cause it could deepen the feelings. 
Keshi (Freshwater) pearl: These beautiful pearls (or the angel´s teardrops) have been popular among women for ages. They represent the protection against injuries, harmony and love. (Pearls are girl´s best friends! Not diamonds…) 
Rose Quartz: This is probably the most beautiful and also the most important one beause it is the stone of LOVE! Everyone needs love, no need to comment it more…
Pink Jadeite: There are many types and colours of jadeite but I chose this one (guess why). This stone can bring happiness, friendship and harmony. It is also a stone of good sleep. In some cases, it may release too many emotions so one needs to be careful where and how to use it. 
Amethyst: Purple and beautiful! It exchanges energy for love. Amethyst is really strong and ofted used for spiritual purposes. It can bring good dreams, decrease the alcohol in the blood and also harmonize the body and soul.
White Nacre: Truly powerful and protective stone! It is used against the bad influences and negative energy. It can absorb it and change it for the positivity. Nacre can also bring the money, protection and safe background into the lives of individuals.
These ones are my absolute favorites: rose quartz (pink), amethyst (purple), crystal (transparent) and white nacre (white). The combination of the beauty and power is just wonderful!
I have really been into the crystals recently (another addiction I guess:D) and that is why I decided to write about it. Whether you believe or not, you have to admit that there is some kind of beauty and magic in it.
Which one is your favourite?
Lots of love,
Lesi Lee
(P.S. Part 2 is coming soon because there are so many more amazing stones I need to talk about!)
There are so many tutorials how to contour but most of them do not look natural on a day light. What I am about to show you is a simple way how to do it using affordable products. The results look great and you can do this routine on a daily basis. It is not too dramatic or too fake looking either! You are going to need a contouring kit, obviously and some brushes. I chose some of my favourite products for concealing which I am obsessed with.
LIST OF PRODUCTS: Catrice camouflage cream concealer (10 Natural beige), PRIMARK PS Concealer palette, SHISEIDO Face color enhancing trio, BH contouring kit, L.A. Girl Pro concealers, ZOEVA brushes
Brushes are really important when it comes to the natural contouring.
Cream contours are better because they blend easily. Always choose the colours that are similar to your skin or two shades darker for a natural finish. 
Create a halfmoon starting in the middle of your forehead and ending at the end of your cheekbones. Blend it with a fluffy brush or a beauty blender. Use a small pen brush and create two lines on the sides of your nose. You can make your cheeks, nose, chin or even forehead look smaller. Apply a lighter concealer underneath your eyes, in the middle of the forehead and at the tip of your chin. 
Yeaah, I look like a BAMBI! Do not worry if you look crazy, you are going to blend until it looks super natural! Blending is the key!
I do this routine every day, it is easy and the finish is just flawless! Contour like a PRO!
I wish I could say: “I live in London, Paris or New York!” But my hometown has always been Bratislava and even though it is not the most beautiful city in the world, I kind of like it and enjoy strolling around. Especially, this part of the year is more exciting than the others. You can see and smell the upcoming Xmas everywhere. Whether you visit the old town, the surrounding of Danube or a shopping centre, the decorations differ every year and they are more than beautiful. 
The Christmas decorations in the Eurovea Shopping Centre are simple but still breathtaking.
This is the old town. I love the streets and the atmosphere here.
Typical Christmas markets offer our traditional food, vine, sweets and some odds and ends for pleasure.
These windowshops look so NON-Slovak!
The Main Square and the markets.
Bratislava is becoming a popular tourist destination nowadays. This small historical town has so much to offer… Can´t wait for the next stroll!
We all love bracelets. It has always been chic and feminine part of the accessories. DIY bracelets are original, affordable and super easy to make. Let´s get started! First, decide what colours you want your bracelets to be. I only wear black, grey or white so the choice was easy. I got some beads at the shop and I combined them with the ones I had at home already. You need to measure the size of your hand, take nylon and string the beads. Use different types of beads to make your bracelet different and beautiful. Once, you are finished, tie the knot and it is done!
What you need:
I decided to make a creamy headband with the white pearls because it looks really cool with the dark hair. I bought a piece of muslin fabric and I created soft waves using needle. In the middle where the fabric is thicker, I stitched the pearls in a row. You can end the headband with the fastener or little clasp. 
The chokers are hot right now and if you do not want to spend the fortune and get all the dfferent kinds in FOREVER 21, this DIY is just for you. Yes, I got inspired at the newly opened store FOREVER 21 in Bratislava.
The beaded choker: I got a soft black net-fabric at the shop and I created a thick braided strip in the middle. I sewed up the beads and small strasses many different ways so it creates a pattern. I ended the choker with a fastener but you can use what you have at home even a small clip.
The laced choker: This was actually really quick and easy. I got a laced fabric and I cut the pattern from the bottom. I sewed up both parts of the choker so it wouldn´t have the small threads coming off. I ended it with the small fastener and it looks just perfect. Don´t you think?
Not the first time in Prague, obviously… Maybe, that is the reason why I did not want to see all the usual places like the Charles Bridge, Prague Castle or the famous Wenceslas Square. Surely, these places are historically important and interesting for tourists but I wanted to get more from Prague. I spent a day looking for something different.
As you can see from the photos, there is so much hidden in Prague. All of these colourful insta- buildings just scream for your attention. Stroll around and take pictures!
The best ice-cream in Prague is definitely the one you get in the shape of rose in Amorino. So pretty and delicious!
Another place I felt in love with is the Wallenstein garden. No need to comment it, look at the photos!
Is one day not enough? I managed to explore, relax and enjoy this little getaway. Coming back soon…
August 2015, Cefalu, Sicily
Yes! I am addicted to travelling. And yes! Everywhere I go, I want to stay and live there forever. But this place totally got under my skin last summer. It is just so picturesque and colorful!
And the sea screams: Jump and swim!
The houses in Cefalu are located on the reefs next to the sea. Ooh, these views!
The public beach is very clean and pretty. 
The sicilian shops offer amazing handmade products. 
I definitely want to come back one day. The italian food, culture, people, towns. All of it is perfect. You just need to experience it!
To travel is to live!
This little town with white houses and blue windows got popular because of the movie Angelique and the Sultan which was shot here in the 60´s. But it is not the only reason why is Sidi Bou Said visited by thousands of tourists every day. 
In the past, many famous poets and paintors lived here. You can say that the streets of Sidi Bou Said looked like the ones of Montmartre in Paris. 
It is just so easy to fall in love…
The houses cost so much here that only millionaires can actually afford it. I ´m not surprised. Who would not want to live in a romantic town like this? 
And who will buy me a house:D?
The interior is traditionally arabic and full of antiques. It is the most beautiful part of the property.
