Another beautiful Venice

The train was riding so fast, but I only did realize that when I opened my eyes and looked up at the screen in front of me: 340km/h? Amazed for instance, yet hesitating, I looked outside the window: fields and clouds were passing by in what seemed to me a slow motion...and I fell asleep again. Eventually, I arrived to my destination: Shanghai, the city par excellence!

Since the beginning I consciously knew I was going to fall in love with this city! Why? Well, It’s big but a small universe, vibrant and mysterious, It’s modern but at the same time conservative. It’s strange, but I kept thinking I somehow felt home in Shanghai. However, what exceeded my expectations is the eternal Zhujiaojiao, an ancient water town in a suburb of Shanghai. Baptised as China's little Venice, this town looks like a tiny different world apart, beautiful and timeless. Its inhabitants are very welcoming and always smiling at tourists. I have  never thought of finding a similar place and hope you can get my point from the pictures.

In Zhujiajiao, there's no place for the individualism or materialism or consumerism. I had a wonderful day roaming around the narrow streets of this village: like in a fairy tale, every corner was telling a story and people were the chorus.

 

The Roar Attitude

Wild! Yes, everything has gone wild in the last few years..the clothes, the hair, the makeup, the nail art, the lifestyle. When I say wild is become fashionable, I really mean it! Who hasn't noticed that? Who's not familiar with this?

So what we get drunk

So what we smoke weed

We're just having fun

We don't care who sees

So what we go out

That's how its supposed to be

Living young and wild and free

Yes, that's Wiz Khalifa song and I know you all love that song! And so do I (it doesn't mean that I live that lifestyle though)! Then you hear Katy Perry singing:

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

And it becomes so obvious that the Music industry is inciting people to bring that wild side out. The fashion industry has been working on it too: the animal prints, the leather, the studded garments, the messy hair looks and the warm tones, everything recalls to one's mind the animals natural environment.

So, as I really like the concept of being a little wild, here's my Roar Attitude outfit ;)

Electric Blue

It’s unbelievable how things change in a year time. Many things have been going on in my life recently and if I had to describe my 2013 in a few words, I’d say: it was Huge and Crazy! I don’t even know where to start from, but I’d mention the most significant events:

I finished University and got a first class degree in International Studies (I am very proud of that!).

I moved to Tunisia (never say forever, as I may get bored very quickly and then change country).

I got engaged to the Man of my life (the biggest event of the year, I guess).

I started my career as a marketing manager assistant (I am still not revealing my work place).

I visited China for the first time (and I loved it).

I recently started blogging (I really hope you like what I write).

For the biggest and special event of my life (my engagement ceremony), which took place in Tunisia, my love and I chose to break the rules and dress in electric blue for the traditional part of the party and then got changed into a more modern outfit. Enjoy the piccies!!! ;)

Casual Chic Ombré

Hi people,

You're probably wondering why I am dressed like it's summertime. Well...Yes, it is February, but it feels so hot here in Tunisia and I am loving it!

In a so sunny and beautiful Monday, I feel like so full of energy and so positive that I can't help but keep smiling and hello to every person I encounter. It is so easy to socialise when you're in a good mood and it is very important to spread this positiveness around you. So, whether you're at work, school, shopping or harvesting, be cool and smile, cause it makes you Beautiful!

I am quiet sensitive to the weather changes, as this phenomena does influence my mood in a so unbelievably natural way. I get very happy and euphoric when it's sunny and warm, but tend to be lazy when it's cloudy or rainy. Regardless, I always try my best to stay positive!

Here are pictures from a very cozy afternoon:
