Disneyland, Paris

Welcome to Disneyland where you feel like a kid again, you live in all your favourite fairytales and you can't stop smiling!


One of the hotels, just at the entrance, looking like a palace, all pink and pretty!








All these costumes make me wish I was small and I could fit it.. Almost every little girl gets one there, the clothes are so realistic and so cute.


There were so many things I wanted to buy, these are some I couldn't resist in.




Even the junk food comes in cute disney bags.




I can't believe I'm posting this, but there you go! :) We spent 1,5 h waiting on the queue, so nothing better to do than goofing around, taking pics and eating candies.













  • When you go you'd better start clockwise with the rides, otherwise you might get confused walking around doing nothing (*cough*). 7 hours in there and I didn't even get to go in half of the games.
  • The queues are crazy so get the Fast-Pass ticket to get in faster than anyone else later at the day.
  • Make sure you eat before 5 p.m cause after that you might find everything closed and end up starving till you get home!
  • Don't try to take photos in the rides, just enjoy it!

Wedding Look

Finally there was a wedding so I could dress up a bit more formal. I chose to spend my money in various things, so I wore another one of the dresses I ordered from Forever21. A bit depressing, I know, but I just didn't want to overshadow the bride. ;P Shoes from Pull&Bear which was actually the first grown-up shoes I bought when I was 17 and the clutch from Accessorize that goes with everything!

Also (big thing for me) I dyed my hair for the first time! It's a dark blonde shade apparently but to me there's a bit of red too in there. I love it and it was a change I needed after a summer without taking care of my hair! Mediterranean brunette no more! Oh, and Kim Kardashian is totally copying me! Lol, hers are blonder, maybe next time.






I want to thank Mairyliscious for the Adorable blog award!


I want to pass it to : (*drumrolls*)
Style anyway.. and to Nakedtile
that I just found and absolutely love. Martina for her sence of style and Natalie because she already posted all the things I was going to about London. Give me England and you have me!
Also to Shopping Therapy, who kindly sponsored my make up for the wedding with the amazing stuff she sent me a while ago!


Stay tuned for some upcoming giveaways, one worldwide and one for US people!

Bright colours...

...can brighten up your day! Summer is almost over again and I didn't get the chance to wear my summer dresses. Luckily it is still extremely hot, so, what's better for an evening walk in the beautiful parks of Drama?

After looking during the whole winter for a yellow nail polish, I had to go abroad to finally find it. Worth the trouble!



Nail polish : Barry M in Yellow (134)
Sandals : Stradivarious

PS. Absent again from your blogs and mine due to technical difficulties ( broken memory card and 1-hour internet every two days).
Cu soon! xxx

Sacré Coeur - Montmartre

The Basilique du Sacre Coeur takes your breath away! Pretty architecture, a magnificent building and the best view of the city, after the top of Eiffel Tower. Artists sit on the stairs in front of it, singing, encouraging the crowd to sing with them. Tourists, if they're brave enough, take the microphone and sing themselves.

You might recognise it from Amelie...





Dress : Dorothy Perkins
Platforms : Bershka
Clutch : Accessorize


Montmartre is just behind. We got our portraits painted by one of the hundrents artists, we had crepes and desserts, we wondered around the traditional streets.
I gave up after 30 min of walking around there to find the Cafe les Deux Moulins from Amelie. My poor feet could not take it anymore.. And I was SO close!
















You can find all kinds of "artists" there. The guy on the left was truly amazing, he wouldn't move or breathe for the longest time!


This must be my favourite pic from Paris..!


And cheesy pic, holding the Eiffel Tower ^_^



At night, we went for a river cruise in Seine. Being in the boat at night was magical. People were sitting at the riverbank, patrying, having dancing lessons (tango!) or just drinking wine.

Galerie Lafayette and Academie Nationale de Musique

The fuss about Galerie Lafayette is not about the expensive brands, is about THIS interior :

I put together 3 pics to make this one since nothing else could describe it. It's one of my favourite things to do, creating a dimension, the way our eyes can see the whole picture.

(if you didn't click to enlarge already, click now, it's worth it)

The centre of the building with the amazing roof on top, covers all the make up brands.





The only things I WASN'T usually wearing there was summer clothes...


The shopping : some items Parisian style, like these beautiful metal boxes. Umbrella, a nessesity, some Eiffel Tower key chains, and a cd with french classics.










The only things I could do there was stare at the window, because the line was coming out to the street and I didn't have that much time to stay there and wait!
