MONDRIAN MIAMI
2 JunFINALLY I HAVE TIME TO DO SOME UPDATING, I HAVE PLENTY OF STUFF WAITING ON THE LINE….
BUT I´M GOING TO START WITH PICS FROM OUR TRIP TO SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI….
WHEN TRAVELING IN UNITED STATES, RENTING A CAR IS ALWAYS A MUST HAVE…..
WE DECIDED TO SPEND FIRST 7 NIGHTS OF OUR STAY IN COOL AND TRENDY HOTEL CALLED MONDRIAN SOUTH BEACH…
THE HOTEL WAS AWESOMELY DECORATED INSIDE OUT, AND THE ROOM WAS VERY ROOMY….
WITH ROMANCE KIT, OF COURSE….
CHANDELLIER IN THE SHOWER….
WONDERFUL MALIN+GOETZ BEAUTY PRODUCTS…
ALL WHITE LOBBY AND COOL INTERIOR DESIGN WITH FAB DETAILS WHICH I LOVE…..LOCATION WAS IN REALLY NICE AND CLASSY NEIGHBOURHOOD RIGHT BESIDE WHOLE FOODS AND STARBUCKS, AS WELL AS NICE VEGAN RESTAURANTS….AND THIS HOTEL IS PET FRIENDLY, AND CUTE LITTLE DOGS WERE NICE ADD TO THE TRENDY HOTEL GUESTS….
MY KIND OF BREAKFAST AT THE HOTEL RESTAURANT CALLED ASIA DE CUBA …SIMPLE AND ONLY FEW PERFECTLY PICKED FRESH ITEMS THAT DIDN´T GET ME BORED EVEN IF IT WAS THE SAME 7 DAYS ON THE ROW….
TIME TO HIT THE POOL….IF YOU ARE SUN ADORER, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE SUN STARTS TO SHINE TO MONDRIAN POOL AROUND 11 AM, WHICH IS QUITE LATE….BUT YOU CAN GO TO THE BEACH INSTEAD….OR PARTY HARD, SLEEP LATER OR GO TO NICE HOTEL GYM FOR MORNING TRAINING BEFORE HEADING TO THE POOL….
THE VIEW FROM THE HOTEL IS STAR ISLAND WHERE MOST OF THE SUPER-STARS HAVE THEIR LUXURY MANSIONS…
THE LOBBY CHANGED IT´S COLOURS DURING THE EVENING AND THERE ARE COOL PARTIES GOING ON DURING THE NIGHT TIME IN MONDRIAN…
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL FOR EVERYONE,EVEN IF IT´S A BIT OVER-PRICED ….

THAILAND
26 JanI GOT A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO BOTH WORK AND RELAX A BIT IN SOUTHERN PART OF THAILAND. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FROM MY TRIP.
RAYA ISLAND
KARON BEACH
MY FAVORITE BIOLAGE SUN PROTECTION AND TREATMENT PRODUCTS FOR HAIR FROM MATRIX.
POOLSIDE MUST HAVES ANTON&ANTON JUTE BAG, MAXI SCARF AND FLIPFLOPS.
GUCCI SUNGLASSES AND FASHION MAGAZINES
THIS PRUNE CONCENTRATE IS LOVELY PRODUCT, TO KEEP YOUR STOMACH WORKING. I HEARD OF THIS PRODUCT FROM A LOCAL THAI GIRL YEARS AGO, SHE TOLD ME THAT ALL THE THAI GIRLS USE THIS ON DAILY BASIS.
FOR CARRY AROUND MUSIC, THIS HANDY TRAVEL SPEAKER IS TINY BUT LOUD, HAS GOOD SOUND AND DOESN´T WEIGH MUCH. I FOUND IT FROM CLAES OHLSON AND CAN´T TRAVEL WITHOUT IT ANYMORE.
MINIATYRE FROG 
MY FAVOURITE THAI DISH, CHICKEN PHAT THAI.
FRESH FRUITS ARE THE BEST IN THAILAND.
MASSAGE IS SOMETHING I LOVED TO DO EVERYDAY.
THE END OF THE RAIN SEASON FESTIVAL, LOY KRATHONG IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FESTIVALS CELEBRATED IN THAILAND.
YOU CAN MAKE A QUIET WISH WHILE SENDING THIS BANANA LEAVE FLOWERBOAT WITH CANDLES, AND IF THE FIRE OF THOSE CANDLES DOES LAST AND DOESN´T DIE, THE WISH YOU MADE WILL COME TRUE.
TUK TUK IS THE BEST WAY TO GO AROUND.
PATONG BEACH, BANGLA ROAD.
I ADMIRE THE CREATIVITY OF THAI PEOPLE, THEY CAN MAKE EVEN THE STREET FOOD STALLS LOOK SO FANTASTIC, WITH GREAT IDEAS, WHICH DON´T COST ANYTHING.
HAD A FACE AND HEAD MASSAGE AND IT REALLY MADE MY SKIN TO GLOW.
THE SUNSET
19 JulSANTORINI IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES I HAVE EVER VISITED. WHEN VISITING SANTORINI, THIS MAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE VILLAGE CALLED OIA IS A MUST PLACE TO VISIT.
THE VILLAGE IS SO PRETTY AND PICTURESQUE, AND THE VIEWS ARE BREATHTAKING…HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING IN OIA AT LEAST ONE NIGHT.
THE SUNSETS IS THE PLACE TO GO AND EXPERIENCE THE MAGICAL SUNSET IN SANTORINI. PERFECT PLACE TO THROW A WEDDING OR OTHER PARTY AS WELL IF PLANNING WEDDING SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD….
THERE ARE TWO LEVELED ROOF TOP TERRACE PLAYING LOVELY AMBIENT ELEVATOR MUSIC…THE AMBIENCE IS VERY SINGULAR….
YOU CAN´T AVOID FEELING ROMANTIC IN THIS PLACE….
CHECK OUT THIS POORLY TAKEN VIDEO, SO YOU GET A FEELING HOW COOL THIS PLACE REALLY IS :
[
THERE IS A LITTLE SNACK BAR AND CAFE DOWNSTAIRS, SERVING FRESH AND NICE TRADITIONAL GREEK SNACKS AND DRINKS…
IF YOU ARE TRAVELING DURING MAY, BEFORE HIGH SEASON, THE WIND CAN BE WILD AND THE NIGHTS CAN BE SUPER-CHILLY, SO PACK SOME WARM PIECES OF CLOTHING IN YOUR SUITCASE.
WINES FROM LOCAL WINERIES ARE LOVELY….AND THIS IS HOW THE SUNSET GOES, IT STARTS ABOUT 8:00 PM….SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD EXPERIENCE ONCE IN THEIR LIFE….
AND EVEN IF THE TIME IS 10:00 PM THE SKY IS MAGICALLY COLOURED, THERE IS NO NEED TO ADD DEPTH OR COLOUR IN THE PICTURES TAKEN IN THIS MEMORABLE PLACE….
BACK AT HE HOTEL TIRED BUT HAPPY…
NEON BY THE POOL
5 JulOUR FAVOURITE HOLIDAY STUFF IS CHILLING OUT BY THE POOL….
SINCE THE HOTEL WAS FULL OF CHINESE TOURISTS WITH NO INTEREST OF SUNBATHING OR SWIMMING, WE HAD THE POOL JUST FOR OURSELVES , IT FELT LIKE WE HAD A PRIVATE POOL THE WHOLE WEEK OF OUR STAY.
HINTS OF NEON COLOURS IN ACCESSORIES OR CLOTHING GIVES AN ENERGETIC SPICE TO ANY OUTFIT. I FOUND THESE LOVELY CHARM BRACELETS FROM A LOCAL SHOP.
LITTLE VISITOR BY THE POOL….
EVERY HOLIDAY-MAN MUST HAVES, PANAMA HAT AND WHITE CONVERSE ALL STARS.
MY FAVOURITE HOLIDAY MUST HAVES, GOLDEN ACCESSORIZE FLIP FLOPS , LOUIS VUITTON MEDIUM SIZE NEVERFULL AND JUTE BAG.
WORKING BY THE POOL….
LOVELY LUNCH, DELICIOUS SOUVLAKIS, MY ULTIMATE FAVOURITE IS FALAFEL SOUVLAKI…YAMMY…
AFTERNOON STRAWBERRIES AND COMPLIMENTARY WINE FROM THE HOTEL….
BOUGHT THIS NEON PINK HOODIE FROM A LOCAL BRAND CALLED FLOW. I LOVE THE LONG HEM OF IT. JUST PERFECT FOR JOGGING…
BRIGHT AND FRESH PRINTS FROM MY H&M BIKINIS…
I FOUND NICE BRIGHT NEON COLOURED NAIL POLISHES FOR MY WORK….
ONE DAY THE SUN WAS SHINING, BUT THE WIND MADE IT TOO COLD AND IMPOSSIBLE TO BE SUNBATHING BY THE POOL, SO WE NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT PLAN B….
MY MAXI DRESS FROM HERE
BEFORE THE HIGH SEASON, DURING MAY, WINDY DAYS CAN BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HANDLE FOR SUNBATHERS, BUT NO WORRIES….EVEN IF THE REST OF THE ISLAND WOULD BE SUPER-WINDY, THERE IS A BEACH CALLED PERISSA BEACH WHICH IS NOT WINDY AT ALL FOR IT´S HIDDEN LOCATION….
SANTORINI BEACHES ARE NOT THE MOST ATTRACTIVE ONES, BUT THIS PERISSA BEACH WAS NICE. THERE IS BEACH CLUB WITH ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AND LITTLE BEACH BOULEVARD WITH RESTAURANTS, BARS AND LITTLE SHOPS.
