Neal's Yard

This picture is very famous in the internet world. It's a small colorful yard in the centre of London called Neal's Yard. And my friends used to ask me if I've been there. So finally I decided to visit this place and take some photos...

The Berkeley. Caramel Room.

London. Knightsbridge. The Berkeley Hotel. Caramel Room. Where food and fashion meet. 

A tea room for fashionistas in a luxury hotel with the menu inspiried bu the latest fashion collections. It is just hard to explain. The idea is phenomenal. Its success is undeniable. And it is not easy at all to reserve a table in famous Carmel Room. 

brighten up with Brighton

This Saturday was all about appreciating how valuable our time in the UK is and travelling around. The choice was Brighton, an English city on the seaside. With a beach, famous Pier, an amazing district full of vintage shops, cafes right in the middle of the street and its wind, that reminded me of my Baku...

Lego iCase

I think everyone remembers Chanel Lego Bag from plastic that has a price tag that shocked a lot of people :)

And we all know about iphone case obsession all over the world. They are in all shapes and colours now. So when me and my girls found out that Chanel Lego Bag cases exist there was no duoubt that we are going to purchase them. I chose a red one, and girls' pick was pink. So here they are...

all about gold, summer and fashion...

            I'm obsessed with their shows, designs, hairstyles, acessories and every little details... It's Dolce and Gabbana Spring/Summer 2014 runway show and its backstage.

Hyde Park in September

             I found out the perfect timing to enjoy London and Hyde Park. It's June and September. June when windy and gloomy weather is leaving and letting summer to come more and more every day. You begin to feel warmth of the sun, the green of the nature. And September when summer is not gone yet and autumn is trying to enter our lives out of nowhere. This time we enjoyed gloomy but warm September day celebrating our re-union with my girls, London buddies. We love London, our friendship was born here and it belongs to this amazing place. Had dinner at Serpentino cafe near the lake, boat trip was nice and funny, couldn't manage to make a video :) this bubble thing awakened a child inside of us and waffles with nutella plus mint tea was the best ending to this day. London is life itself, and it is a huge part of mine.

                       

New York Fashion Week on the blog

My picks from New York Fashion week. Spring - Summer 2014 Ready-To-Wear collections.

Mad Men

          If I had to describe the show Mad Men only with one word, it would be classy. I can't imagine any other show on TV to have more class, chic and style than this one. Advertisers from Madison Avenue in 60's, their agency, private lives... The main character that is Don Draper played by Jon Hamm is one of those men that women hate and love at the same time. His charm, looks, gestures. Don Draper is good at his job, he is one of the best, everyone loves him. The show has interesting storyline, but the main thing that atrracts a viewer is the environment of 60's: fashion, lifestyle. The way they dress, the way men and women behave even the way they smoke is so different from the time that we live in, it captivates you from the first episode. After I watch this show every time, I just want to wear a dress and shoes on heels like those women wear everyday, have some classy hairsyle and walk around like a real lady :)

To Kill A Mockingbird

It is a big pleasure at last to reach the book you wanted to read for a long time. And it is a bigger pleasure when the book apeears to be delightful. This time it was 'To Kill A Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It's been awhile since I have read a book like this one. It reminded me the books from my childhood: kind, warm, cozy atmosphere that teaches you a lot. Unfortunately we don't understand the message quite well when we are kids. So I highly recomment to re-read it as an adult to get the whole story in details and more clearly, because it is definitely worthy. There is the whole point of mockingbird that unfolds in front of you throughout the whole book. It is impossible to put it into few words or sentences. The feeling after the reading is hope and joy. Hope for a better life, for better people, for better world. Joy because you start believe that you can be a better person. The way that a little girl understand the world and interperts it is amazing. You remember yourself as a kid and your fears, games, happiness, tastes come to your mind. Doesn't it worth to go back in time and feel yourself a child reading 20th century american classic novel?

'To Kill A Mockingbird' delivers some important messages. Let me put them into quotes from the book:

"As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men evry day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine family he comes from, that white man is trash."

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it"

Oxford

Soo here we are :) three silly weirdos singing embarassing songs on the streets of Oxford.

Meet my groupmates: Turan and Ruslan.

The trip was all about fun. Oxford, its universities, the beautiy of the city, its historical splendor, rainy weather and everything else was a background to a 10 hour hilarious conversation :) But I didn't forget to take pictures so I could share them here. 

I loved this place. The calmness in some parts of Oxford attracts a person to take his time and live here for a couple of months. A place to come back some time for sure.
