Enjoying some family time. Finally (pooh, that took a long time) here is my last #bahiamemories, from my 3rd week there in November 2013. I already mentioned many times in these two posts ( here and here ) how beyond amazing the time was that I spent in Bahia last November.  This pictures show even more what a stunning paradise it is there. In this post I`m showing you the second week I spent there with my whole family in the all inclusive hotel Vila Galé . It was just an incredible time, the weather was perfect, we talked and laughed a lot and enjoyed so much the time together. I started to do crochet, thanks to my mum and my grandma, they really took a passion out of me, it`s my favorite hobby right now. (By the way there is some project coming in the next months that has to do with it, stay tuned ;)) As you know I actually  don`t like to post family pictures, but these are just to cute :) 

Surreal moments. Sometimes (in the most inappropriate times, like under the shower, during work,...) I get the best ideas for the texts I want to write on my post, but with no possibility to write it down! -.-  This unfortunately happened again with this post, anyway I can remember some parts of the text I wanted to write, so I`ll do my best now. My cousin`s wedding was just surreal.  The wedding was on a Saturday. On the Friday before they had a "welcome cocktail party" that was beyond amazing and with the location, the music and everything this could have been already the wedding. But it wasn`t it was "just" the welcome party. As I already said, the location was unique, I have never been to somewhere like this before. As you maybe already read on this post , my cousin married in Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil. For the welcome party, which also was a white party, w e got to a skyscraper where a "Baihana" (a woman from Bahia) welco...

Sorria, você está na Bahia. Smile, you are in Bahia. That`s what stands all over the place when you arrive in Salvador airport.   Anyway, how could you not? Bahia (which is a state in the north of Brazil) is like heaven on earth, it`s paradise. Why? Just have a look on the pictures below and you will totally understand! ;) But beyond the landscape I also love their food! They cook a lot with coconut milk and palm oil, lots of shrimps and fish, this state is like made for me! (Have a look on the "Moqueca de Camarão" below ;)) I`ll try to post some "Bahian recipes" in the next weeks. Why have I been there in November? First of all for my cousin`s wedding. But when you fly to Bahia (specially in my case being so far away) you can`t stay for just one weekend, right? So we decided to spend the first week in a house on the beach with friends, than we had the wedding, than we stayed one week in the hotel  Vila Galé (a hotel chain from Portugal), which was at the...

LETS TALK ABOUT GRAZ .  Graz is a beautiful little city in Austria. My mum and I went there about 3 weeks ago. Why? Because we wanted to discover new cities in Austria.  What came first into my mind when we were talking about Graz: City of design. So I definitely had to visit it!  When we arrived I immediately got overwhelmed with all the beauty!  The mixture of modern and antique is amazing.  We stayed at the Hotel Wiesler , which is also all about design and I loved our room (see in the pictures below). I`ve always been amazed by most churches I`ve already visited. This also reflects on my studies. Whenever I`m able, I choose a lecture with a topic about anything that has to do with churches. For this semester I chose the topic "Winged Altar" (something like the one on the 8th picture below). And I`m super excited to learn more about it. Like why it actually does exist and just imagine the whole history that is behind every single one! I think t...

Sometimes I`m actually pretty satisfied with my camera, but there are also times when I get pretty mad with it. At Viennas fashion week I had one of those times. Sitting second row isn`t anyway perfect for taking pictures and when the models where so close to me, they were most of the time to fast for me to take a nice pic. So I`m sorry for some not so good pics here in this post. After my travel to Brasil this November I`ll start saving money for a new cam....definitely!!! ;) As vezes eu estou bem feliz com a minha câmera, mas daí tem vezes que eu fico louca com as fotos que ela faz. Na Fashion Week em Viena eu tive um desses ataques! Sentar na segunda fila já não é fácil para tirar fotos e quando as modelos estavam perto de mim, elas eram muito rápidas para eu tirar um foto boa. Então já estou me desculpando por algumas fotos não tao boas aqui nesse post. Quando eu voltar da minha viagem para Salvador em Novembro, eu vou começar a e...

Fashion week just started again in New York and although I can`t take part of it, unfortunately :(, I`m very excited about it.  I can`t wait to see Burberry`s fashion show in London and Chanel`s show in Paris!  Which shows are you guys so excited to see?  This video is from the BCBG Max Azria show, the one I loved most from the shows I saw (till now) from the New York fashion week. Especially the skirts I loved so much! And those prints...so beautiful! What do you think about it? This week the MQ Vienna fashion week will start and I`m so excited! I`ve already been there last year , where I even got the opportunity to sit front row! :D  But I am also going totally crazy about which outfit I`m going to wear :D Although I think I have already chosen the perfect one, which also includes my BCBG Max Azria bag , by the way ;)  With this post I also want to tell you that I am SO sorry about not being able to post more often these days, but I am really wor...
