Hi guys! I finally managed to go out on a date on Friday woohoo! We chose to see “The Artist” at the Grosvenor Cinema in the glamorous and super cool West End of Glasgow. I had such a great time. The movie was superb (can I adopt that dog? What a cutie!) and I was able to relax and enjoy it in the comfy couch at the back of the cinema room. Civilisation! Boys if you have an important date…the couch is a must!
Which movie did you see lately?
Happy 2012!!! I have had a very nice time with my family and have been taking all the rest in the world during the holidays enjoying great food and even greater wine! Today we decided to go to the Aquarium at the Loch Lomond Shores and we had an absolute great time! I was more excited about the fish than all the children in there and went on the Carousel and had a very nice banana cake at the coffee shop there. What a great day that was!
Oh I have also had a change in my looks! Can you notice the difference?
This where I was last Sunday before the heavy snow covered Glasgow. We went with my family to the Boat House near Loch Lomond for lunch. You can find their website here. The environment was absolutely superb, the decoration of the place was completely my style, and the food was very good too. We had the paella and the wine mussels.
I could also imagine myself spending lazy Sunday afternoons having tea and cakes and reading magazines and newspapers in their lounge area. We will be returning there a lot… Enjoy the photos!
Which is your favourite restaurant/cafe/bar?
I decided today to tell you about the book I am currently reading. It is called “Complete Prose” by Woody Allen and it is so funny I cannot stop laughing out loud every couple of lines. I have read many books (and when I say many I mean MANY) but I cannot recall any book that has had me laughing so much so often. I love Woody Allen films but I did not know that there was a book out also. The humour in the book is kind of wicked (as Woody Allen humour often is)! I still have not watched his new film called “Midnight in Paris” and cannot wait. I will try to go on a movie date next week with my Colin.
Have you seen the new film? What did you think? Have you read the book? Are you a Woody Allen fan like me?
You know what happens when you decide on a nice day (whatever this means in Glasgow!) to go and meet a friend for coffee in the city centre! Yes…that’s right! You end up getting carried away by the shop windows, the buzz and the atmosphere, and you….shop…till you drop (or anyway as much as your pocket allows you on the day 
)
We went for a cream tea at Fifi and Ally’s (best scone I have ever had!) and then for the necessary visit to the House of Fraser to check out new perfumes and make up. I would like to thank Martin and Danielle at Dior’s who were very helpful. On the day I bought the following:
Hemp hand protector, Body Shop (really nice for my terribly dry hands)
Eye Concealer 003, Body Shop (brights up fabulously my dark circles)
Honey & Oat Face Mask, Body Shop (I love the smell and the feeling of calmness after a nice face mask)
And my super new favourites:
Dior Skin Forever Foundation (perfect cover but is not heavy on my skin, something I hate, really lovely texture that lasts well…forever!)
Dior Addict Lipstick No. 578 (I trully madly deaply fell in love with this one, is an absolutely beautiful colour)
I know I do not look quite as good as Natalie Portman or Kate Moss, but I thought you would like to see a photo of what the make up looks like on someone.
Have you ever tried these products yourselves?
I know I have disappeared completely for the summer…:-( Sorry about that. I just needed to take a long break and find new balances and ways of life. I had an absolutely wonderful time with my man and my best friends touching base again and enjoying a full summer (I had not done this since….oh I cannot even remember…probably primary school!). We had coffees at Cafe “Petite Fleure”, “Bristol” and “Grec”. We had nice handmade pizza at “Piperitsa” with the lovely environment, enjoyed a baptism at Kommeno, swam at Barbati beach crystal clear waters, suntanned on the sunchairs of Piedra del Mar.
Well I do promise to keep in touch more often. And although it is a pity the summer is over, I feel rested and ready for the winter coming. What about you?
I know I know…I have not updated the blog for ages and I have missed it so much! Yesterday we went with some good friends on a boat trip around the Isle of Arran, had a great lunch with Caesar salad and fabulous chocolate cherry pie that my Colin made from scratch, drank champagne and bonded. I was also so happy to wear my red Vogue sunglasses my dad bought for me as a gift for the summer.
Some people above had decided to name their boat “Quantum of Solace”. I found this worth of a picture!
Today I took my dad to our favourite coffee/restaurant place in Glasgow. It is called Little Italy and it has, to my opinion, the best coffee and the best pizza in Glasgow. My dad loves it too and we go there every morning for a treat. I also love their Portuguese tarts. Yum yum!!! I had my favourite cappucino and an amaretto cheesecake.
Where is your favourite place for coffee?
Hi all. This is a new project that I have discovered. You can post your looks of the day on Lookbook.nu! How exciting!

Hi there! I saw this video, posted by Ionian Act the other day, and triggered all my feelings of excitement about movements that can really get you going! Check it out, if you love dancing you are going to love this one…It is filmed in Corfu island, Greece at the area of Liston in Corfu Town.
My birthday was yesterday…I woke up to the most wonderfully sunny day I could only dream of. The sun was high in the sky since 8am and the day went on without one cloud in the sky for the rest of it. So hot that you would say summer had arrived in Scotland! Truly magnificent.
My fabulous husband bought me a gift I had been craving for ever, a collective Mark Nuell gold ring with a massive crystal clear aqua marine stone (my birth stone)! My mum bought me a Cacharel “Scarlett” perfume, that has a particular significance to me. We had a beautiful dinner, duck breasts with cherries and pak choi leaves, followed by a chocolate cake full of candles. I did not forget to make a special wish!!! The effect of that beautiful day has not worn off yet…
To be in love, to be alive, to experience every minute of life with excitement, to feel free...My blog is a way to express my deeper thoughts and life experiences, a way to share with my dreams, hopes, life, to share my world...
