Places to see: Corvin Castle

 

 I was so excited for this one day trip, because I wanted to visit the Corvin Castle from Hunedoara, Romania, for a veeery long time, but since I don't own a car, getting there can be a bit difficult, the city appears to be quite secluded.

 If you follow me since the beginning of times, you know that I am fan of everything that is aristocratic, castles, old mansions and such. See here my article featuring Peles Castle from Sinaia if you want to convince yourself.

 After 3 hours, we finally arrived in town andguess what? It started raining! Surprisingly, that didn't let me down, by the time we finished visiting the interior, the rain stopped, but on the bright side, we entered the castle for free! A family walked towards us and they probably saw my excitement while shooting some photos outside and gave us an invitation that granted us free access, which was very nice of them! 

So while I was taking dreamy princess-like photos around there, trying to find spots less crowded by tourists, my dress was filled with mud because of the rain, of course, and I had sand in my shoes just like in true medieval times, right? 

Even so, I was happy I got to visit the castle, it's quite lovely but not very opulent, of course, there is no such thing during Medieval times, everything was much more austere, if you ever have a chance to visit Romania, be sure to check out this place, it's filled with history.

I hope you loved the photos!

Happy Monday guys!

Hidden treasures.

 

 We start this week with a fresh new post and hopefully it will turn your Monday into a more pleasant one, because we all know how much we "enjoy" Mondays.. 

No, I haven't found a hidden treasure (although that would be nice), we do not live in a pirate story the last time I checked, but I did find a cool garden that belongs to a huge mansion somewhere in this little town. I wish I could've taken more photos of the house but it was fully covered in plants of all sorts, but you can get an idea of how big it is from one of the pictures below. I wouldn't mind one bit to be able to live there.

 What caught my attention was the lovely garden from the main entrance and I wished I could've stopped time, enter the place and explore it as much as I could, and of course take more photos! 

Yes, yes, my obsession with gardens and flowers, that will never change, I'm afraid. 

   

And how about my cute, feminine blouse? I searched since forever an off-the-shoulder top like this and as I read on the tag, I found out this was some kind of a dress for children between ages 10-12 ?! Oh well, it fits me just fine as well!

 Have a wonderful week, people!

The elegance, refinement and luxury of Art Nouveau

 

 Every once in a while a girl dreams of being a princess in her own castle, isn't that right? 

I had the opportunity to be in that posture not to long ago at Peles Castle, which is now a National Museum. In my opinion it has to be the most beautiful castle in our country and to be able to take part of this special project meant the world to me. I was asked to be a part of a photoshooting which promotes a very elegant exhibition starting from September; this exhibition consists of beautiful items from the Art Nouveau period (which I personally love the most) and also celebrates 110 years since the inauguration of Pelisor castle, residence of King Carol's heirs. 

I am thrilled of these photos and naturally, I was amazed by all those rooms, the exquisite items and, of course,  the luxury!

 I will always go back and think about the privilege I had and forever be grateful to the people there and to myself for starting this blog. Because without it none of this wouldn't have happened.
