Samsara

 

Saṃsāra meaning "wandering" with the connotation of cyclic, circuitous change. It also refers to the theory of rebirth and "cyclicality of all life, matter, existence", a fundamental assumption of all Indian religions. 

 In other words: reincarnation. I am not going to talk about that today, the concept is beyond my understanding, although it does sounds appealing. So is this lovely place which is actually called Samsara , a oriental inspired place that serves dozens types of tea, hookas and cool biscuits. There are three uniquely designed salons, so interesting and sooo cozy (you have to take your shoes off before you enter!) But the garden in the back is so quiet and chilled, it feels like you are escaping the noisy hot city and enter in a new world, so the name is justified.

The place charms me every time I go back there, it's gorgeous to visit, especially in the Summer.

And you can't resist the temptation of taking photos there!

Happy weekend guys!

The secret rose garden

 

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, "The Secret Garden"

Well now, isn't that the truth?

I knew about "The Secret Garden" for a very long time but only recently I got the chance to read it and after I finished it, I found myself enchanted by the idea of finding a secret place which you can take care of and no one knows about it but yourself. It's a really lovely book and I recommend it to everyone really.

Now, the main attraction of this post is obviously, the dress, which I bought in early Spring I think and just couldn't wait to wear it! It deserved some proper pictures that needed to involve a dreamy scenery, a garden full of roses and splendid warm weather. The book inspired me and got me excited for this photoshoot, oh, you have no idea!

Luckily enough, my friend found this lovely little corner in a place which at first appeared to be a lonesome backyard, but out of the bloom, there were these jasmin trees and roses all over the place and I thought "This is just perfect!"

I don't know about you, but I am absolutely in love with these photos - and the dress, of course.

Hope you like them!

 For the past few days I've been on a short vacation in Bucharest, visiting old friends and favorite places - some of you know thatI used to live there some time ago - I love going there during the Spring because it's the blooming season and the Japanese Garden is in full beauty right now and of course, I couldn't miss the oportunity to take some dreamy photos there.

 I wore this gorgeous dress I got last year (I honestly don't remember from where) that I didn't got a chance to wear until now, I thought this garden was perfect for it! Gosh, I am so excited seeing these photos, that place is so beautiful and serene, you wish you could stay there all day and gaze at the trees. I also wish they could stay in bloom all the time.

 I hope you like the photos! Let me know your thoughts.

 I aaaam so excited for these photos and for this gorgeous velvet kimono type cardigan I scored recently. I feel it's a gem of a clothing, luxurious and sophisticated, so it deserves a proper photo shoot and where else than the luxurious botanical garden? I thought that a scenery which involves a jungle will fit perfectly and I am so pleased with the results! I wish we could have more time to hang around there, but it was sooo hot and filled with toursists, I guess I should've done this in the cold season. 

Next time I am going to make an article with ways to style this type of cardigan, we shall see. 

I hope you like these photos for now, let me know your thoughts!

Dream a little dream

 

 As soon as I noticed that blooming tree and the lovely roses right in the heart of the city, I wanted to take another set of dreamy photos, I am a sucker for flowers, that's just it.  And how could anyone refrain themselves from creating beautiful images this month while the roses are in full bloom? 

I just hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!

Secret places

 

 When in Cluj, you need to start exploring the city as much as you can, because you never know how many beautiful places you can find that are just around the corner.

 I found this lovely court while I was window shopping and I have to say that I walked by it so many times and didn't even knew it existed. We went for a peak and I was so enchated by the terrace and the ivy that climbed over the years over that wall and I instantly thought it's a dreamy place to take dreamy photos. I always get excited when I find beautiful places like this, and the fact is that it's not that secret, you just need to pay attention where you're going. 

 I hope you'll love the result as much as I do!

   

 Happy weekend guys!
