BUBU - I COME IN PEACE
I would have liked to meet Bubu (my beloved doggy) in another way, but I couldn't help myself sharing with you these funny immages of him. Oh, and the black thing near him is my cat,Toto. Acting like the dog's nurse lately, having everything under control, like always. So, guess who is the leader of my pack.:D

FRESH PICNIC MOOD
Fore some weeks now, I wanted to take a shot and organize a picnic in the park near our apartment, but didn't manage. Yet. I don't really know what I need to make that happen, everything being very easy from organizing to getting there( by foot). Probably I need that kick in the ass, as my mum says.:p
Till then, I get the inspiration through my daily bloggs and today I can say I am mostly lucky finding this cute one: http://nicolehill.blogspot.com/ and stole some ideas from it. Muahaha!
Kisses and have a delightful weekend everybody!

CROATIA FOREVER
Unfortunately, these days I had to think about the Croatian trip made 2 years ago, when I left for 2 months of practice in an architecture firm in Zagreb. Alina& Marius are planning a honeymoon trip to this country and asked me to make their tour. I am amazed how the years passed since that experience.
So, I thought to myself: why not write about it a little bit?
Here I am, remembering every bit of the trip and sigh at each photo made there.
Chill, I won't tell you all the story from A to Z right now, 1, because it would take a while(an eternity I would say) and 2, because I will let some photos tell you more.
If I remember it well, this should be Kastella. One little and pitoresque town on the Coast.
And... the sea...Great image.
And, of course Dubrovnik.As seen from the city deffensive wall.
And, probably the gratest place in Dubrovnik, the caffe on the rocks. Brilliant ideea.
Great place to be.
Again, Dubrovnik.
The way I looked like 2 years ago. Yes, much more younger.:P
Thanks oh Great Photoshop for this view!
The boy and the sea in Primojden.
.
The sunset in Primojden.
Do you know the little animal in the water?We couldn't figure it out.
The greatest fish plate ever.
Me, again, on the wall.:P
Sibenik town. Charming.
And Split pavement. Carefull, it's slippery.
Diocletian's palace. Working well through time.
Do you architects know this promenade?
And a different architecture in Varazdin.
The boys having fun in Zadar at the Sea Organ.
Brilliant way of including the sea in peoples lives, as music.
Another perfect sunset. Isn't this strange? There is no place on the Croatian Coast where you can't see a perfect sunset.
A little bit of modern architecture in Zadar.
And the perfect reflection.
Kisses,
Mara

HIGHTECH FOOTWEAR
Let me see you now! And now follows the ultra -known statement: MUAHAHA!:p Let me see you wearing these shoes! I know, if I would get my hands on them I would probably try them on and instantly leave them there! And it's not because I don't like them.No,no,no! The problem is that I cherish them! After Zaha's sandals, these are my second favorites. The big problem is that I don't have many skills when it comes to balancer so I would probably walk on my knees and hands most of the time. And I call myself a "fashionista".:P Phuaaa!!
These lovely leather and plastic shells shoes are the creation of a newly graduate of Royal College of Art, Victoria Spruce. She manages to create a link between old and new, between leather and plastic creating a compact look almost made from the same continuous material line. Apparently there is no link between plastic and leather, right? Well, it couldn't be more wrong. See for yourself.
So,all in all, the only way to have them and see them it would probably be as one of those work of arts that you just admire on a shelf. Imagine a pair of these shoes on your bookshelf in your dining room. Ha? Isn't that the greatest idea ever?:D But enough with the talking, let's enjoy some shoooeeeesss!!!

COME IN AND HANG OUT





And it is not metaphorically speaking.You really hang yourself. In a hammock.Imagine a building designed especially for this kind of "furniture". Of course this has been made in Vienna by a group of architects, Heri und Salli, who felt people's need to relax in the middle of the day, in the middle of the city.
So,what do you think, does Bucharest need such a place? I do.:D
