I Love ITALY!!!

The last days I have a problem with Internet connection...so it's really hard to download pictures and in general to open websites...hope that my brother will soon fix this problem cause it's really annoying...! it is even difficult to visit your blogs...ahhhhh...!!!

so my only solution for the moment is to post pictures that I have already in my computer...
I decided to show you my trip to Italy!

I have a friend that i knew in Paris- Alessandro...we were doing our internship in the same company...so he invited me to Italy , and me, of course I went:)
He lives in Brescia - a lovely city situated in the North of Italy, 100km from Milan!
The mountains -Les Alpes and a big lake ''Lago di Garda'' are not very far...the nature is really amazing there...

Girls...are very feminine and sexy, wearing high hills even on Sunday...
Also i noticed that they like white shirt, i saw many girls in white shirt and jeans...classic but nice!!!

So i came on Friday night around 9pm, and Alessandro was waiting for me at the airport with his friend Luca - handsome guy - and he knows it:)

Luca went to a party, me and my friend went to a restauran...a typical Italian restauran where the owner knows every client, and his mother is always around to help him with everything...
I must say that Italian food is delicious, and the wine also:)


He's the owner of the restaurant-I forgot his name...

The second day we went to Milan. The center city is beautiful, with cathedral Duomo, and a looott of shops....but in general the city it's not so nice ( it's my personal opinion)...

The Tramway in Milan:)



On Sunday, the weather was amazing so we went to this lake, called lago di Garda, LOVE IT..you can see it by yourself in the pictures bellow:)


Oh my God...my brother just came...and he is distracting me on purpose:)...
...ahhh...i can not be concentrated anymore..!...i go...:)

Wish you a beautiful day tomorrow!

...and you know what...I realised that i really missed blogging...so here I am again...telling you my life:)

This week , Thursday I think...i went to Netherland, to a city near Amsterdam , to visit a big big floral park....Everywere, we were sorounded by flowers, really amayzing...there were lands of flowers , especially tulips...The weather was good, and I spent a very nice day:)

I came back at 8 pm, was so tired that only thought was to go to bed ...but my brother invited me to a party, and as i am the worst person to say NO, especially to a party:)...I went...
In fact, it's a party (each Thursday) which, at the beginning was organised for the European Union Commission interns, but now it's for everybody!:))
That night i met 2 american boys:)...they were so nice..for the first time in my life i trusted some strangers so quiqly:))...I could practice my English with them...so I was happy:))

The SERIES fever!!!

Who saw the MTV series THE HILLS and THE CITY?...I feel a bit stupid cause I know that it started already long time ago...but I discovered them just now and I am obsessed with!:)
So I finished 4 days ago THE CITY and started to watch THE HILLS...it has to be the opposite, but anyway...don't really matter now:)) I am already at the 3Th season:)

I like more THE CITY...I mean...the story itself is not so interesting for me...but if I take all together, the outfits, NY and Whitney...I can say that I enjoyed it.
Guys, now I want even more to go to New York ...it's my dream. I have a question. Are
people dressed in NY like we can see in THE CITY, or like in all fashion magazines when they show NY street fashion?

Cause...sincerelly...poeple think that Paris are like one of the most stylish city...but I lived there for more than 2 years and can tell you that in Paris,
people on the streets are dressed very simple, in black,...it's true that in fancy areas, or fancy clubs, you can see girls with an individual style but I would say is like 15% of all the people. May be I am wrong, but I had this impression.

I found that in London, it's different,
people can express themselves through fashion easier than in Paris. Despite all of this, PARIS is my favorite city in the world and I want to come back living there.:)))

Anyway, I don't care where I will be, Paris, Brussels or another city, I will keep my style, and my way to dress everywhere:)))....this is what I wore yesterday....


Align Centre


(Mango cardigan, French Connection treggins, Sacha shoes -a belgium brand, H&M white T-shirt, the silver chain ,if i can say like this in english - is from a french unknown designer, and the black watch- a belgium small uknown designer)

I go back to THE HILLS:))...

Take care
Julia

Aaaaahhhhh...I almost forgot to show you my 2 favorite songs ( that I heard at THE CITY):))...of course...wasn't complicated to guess). Hope you'll like it like me I am!!!
ok...i definitely go now:)))

…All this week Brussels was transformed…it not very often when it’s warm here, so, really, it was like something unreal…people were smiling and happy….enjoying their time on the terraces…it’s funny how just one thing can change their hole day...This ONE thing of course is the SUN:)

But …even if I love it, this weather …make me feel so lazy:)…seriously I constantly want to sleep …or to think about vacation seaside and cocktails:)…I think it because I am not used to it anymore, and, like in one week will feel better..HOPE SO!!!:)

COCO avant CHANEL!!!

I am so exited about this movie!!!...
It's about Coco Chanel's life before she became famous...
''from learning how to sew in an orphanage as a child to making costumes for herself as a cabaret singer and for other singers when she was a young woman'' . http://cocochanel-blog.com

We will find who was Gabrielle Chanel before Chanel N 5, little black dress and 2.55 bag?!


The main role is played by a french actress Audrey Tautou.
I like her and think that the movie is really good...
At Paris premiere (the 6th of April) she was dressed in this gorgeous Chanel white dress with black flowers, and a leather jacket on it...I love the style...combination of ELEGANT with ROCK...
Tell me, what do YOU think about it...?!!!


(style.com) (elle.fr)

You can take a look at the trailer, it is in French so for non french speaker I am sorry, but I didn't find an English version.

YELLOW FEVER

Yellow is one of my favorite colour. For me when someone wears yellow ....this person transmits a special energy (kindness,happiness...)...maybe because yellow=sun=positive attitude?!...
NO..I am not crazy :)).. but I sincerely believe that what we wear and the colours we wear express our personality and how we feel...

For this summer I would like to have all these beautiful things in the picture: Christian Louboutin shoes, Chanel bag, Princess Tam Tam underwear...


I WANT IT...I WANT IT ALL!!!
