The Glamour of Italian Fashion Exhibition

            London is one of the most fashionable cities in the world. It is undeniable. So there are a lot fashion exhibitions taking place here such as Jean Paul Gaultier Exhibition, Wedding Dresses 1775-2014 Exhibition or The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945-2014 Exhibition I attended a few weeks ago. It is held in The Victoria and Albert Museum, one of the most beautiful places in London in my opinion. The exhibition perfectly showcased the path of italian fashion of small ateliers becoming leading couture geniuses in the world. How 'Made in Italy' started to add value to the product. There were amazing dresses by very famous designers, people could watch short documentaries about fashion shows of 40's and 50's. It was very interesting to walk there and feel the evolution of the fashion in general. They don't allow to take photos in there, but I'm known for being sneaky in such things ;) That is why I managed to take some pictures, so I could share them with you...

happiness

          Everyone thinks differently about what happiness means to them. Lately I was thinking how little moments that make us smile all of a sudden are small portions of happiness we get in our routine life. And when you stop thinking of reaching 'constant happiness' condition someday, little things become more enjoyable. So happiness that comes in little portions can be different. It comes in different shapes, sizes, tastes, smells, etc...

1. Happiness can be sour in April. Alcha.

2. Happiness can be warm. Just a sunny day.

the fairytale about a girl and the city she fell in love with

           Saying goodbye is always hard. No matter it is a person or a place you lived for a while. And not JUST lived, you have fallen in love with a city from the first sight. No, not even that. I loved London long before I visited. First you just hear about that amazing place, then you get introduced to it through pictures and information and you like it. Then you start to dream about getting there. Mostly it is a matter of time, because when you like something for real, you will achieve it despite of everything holds you back. So the day we met with my 'city crush' was in 2011 just for a couple of weeks, but that was it. I knew I will come back to it, and I did... 
           Soon I will leave London and it breaks my heart on some level. No one wants to stay apart from something they love. But I'm going back home, the place I belong. Before I leave this city there are places I haven't been to even though also wanted to visit. London Eye is one of those tourist attractions that you never pay attention to when you stay in London for awhile. Today I finally got there. It is worthy of those 40 minutes you spend queueing (UK - the country of never ending queues). Sharing a few photos I took today...
