vacation
Although we are officially on vacation in Dubrovnik at my boyfriends parents place we still had to lots of catch-up calls to to with friends here in Croatia, dinners, next basketball (for him) and next work fiscal year (for me) arrangements to do so there was still level of stress with preparation for best friends wedding so before traveling to Zagreb we decided to go for a short trip to a nearby island - Lopud to get away from everything and everybody for just one day.
We turned off our phones (with no feeling of regret if I may add) rented umbrellas and beach beds, got some cocktails, jumped in the sea for a bit to cool off and then read our books and played cards - heaven! My boyfriend kept saying - "OMG I needed this so bad, my cell is not ringing, it is not to hot, we need to do this more often!" I loved seeing him so happy and relaxed....we definitely need to do this more often.
Currently I am having a 'post vacation blues' and can't wait for mid August to come back here again for a second part of my vacation.
How was your Summer holiday lovelies? Did you already had yours or are you planning to go?
This has been a long vacation week for my boyfriend and I in Barcelona - well vacation for me and painful pre-seasons work our week for him. We have been living in lovely Gran Hotel Princesa Sofia which is really a great and luxurious hotel but we couldn't wait to finally stop living out of our suitcases and start settling in an amazing apartment which we chose.
Seems like the move is happening tonight as they told us apartment should be ready for us later today. Obviously, it's his apartment, I was just helping him pick one and we will try to clean it and decorate it through next couple of days to make it a home for him and I when I visit each month.
Since we are just moving in later this evening, I will be posting photos of our progress with settling in during next week, make sure you stop by to see the walk-in closet photos which I am particularly excited about.
With this post I am reminding you on the series of post I wrote since I arrived in Barcelona, most of them experiential "Lines of life" , some useful tips for fashion travelers but also a lovely post from "Lines of passion for fashion" category about pants trend for upcoming Fall season, check them out if you haven't already, I would love to read your comments and thoughts on them.

Sitting in the plane from
Prague to Madrid those two hours 20 minutes seemed like an eternity. I kept
asking a flight attendant – are we there yet? Like the kid on a road trip with
the family. I just couldn’t wait to finally see my boyfriend. I walked so fast
to luggage check that the other people from my flight made a passage for me in
the crowd probably a bit scared of my military stamping in my heels, I picked
up a luggage in a second, fixed my lip-gloss and ran out and..Mwaaa mwaaa….Ante
was not there yet as I was obviously too fast. In few minutes he appeared, he
said he missed the exit to airport twice out of excitement.

He was wearing a green and black sweat suit combo, his favorite, with his signature messy hair and in the car there were 88 chocolates waiting for me together with a Christmas star flower, he didn’t know the flower was related to Christmas but he said the store didn’t have regular flowers J LOL

Most of the next day I was sleeping, cooking, kissing, shopping , ending the day with getting the fabulous (as Ante calls it Heidi) warm, soft and cozy sweater made out of 100% wool and gorgeous Lamb skin leather jacket @ Zara (Spain’s signature brand). There is one more piece I am looking to get while I am here – new black motorcycle boots.
I found myself shopping quite carefully and conservatively as the economy is becoming so unpredictable lately, nothing is sure – employment, pay, living expenses are rising, so I am thinking twice while picking up a piece to purchase focusing on price per wear ratio, quality of making and quality of fabrication rather the brand name which we all know doesn’t always stand for quality. In that regards, I am proud of myself knowing that the Xmass decor and discount together with stores packed with people manically shopping does not affect me much. I take more pleasure in observing gorgeous Chistmas store windows and sipping on Starbucks peppermint mocha.
I’m excited to see YSL Retrospective exhibition today before my boyfriend’s basketball game. This will be the topic of my tomorrows post. Xoxo from Madrid lovelies!
