This week I wanted to share this gorgeous Christmas limited edition collection from Dior Beauty. It's a collection I keep my eyes on every year based on two reasons. Firstly the lipstick shades are incredibly beautiful and secondly the collection comes with a couture case that can be used as a clutch. This year the lipsticks are engraved with snowflakes and that level of detail makes them that more special to me. In this video I try on all the lipstick shades, so you can see what they look like, and also share my first impression of them and the clutch. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and share the love.

Who's excited for Black Friday? Only me?! No, can't be! I love Black Friday shopping, it's the perfect opportunity to get some of the items on your wishlist at an amazing price, as well as a great excuse to start Christmas shopping for your loved ones. Since we're in Black Friday week, and nowadays brands have sale all week long rather than just the Friday or next Monday, for Cyber Monday, it's the best time to share my fave deals. None of these are sponsored, just sharing the love. Since you're following me or reading my blog, you might enjoy a similar fashion style and enjoy all these. Hope you love these and happy shopping!

Do you remember the first time you went to the seaside? A lot of us might have gone when we were too young to remember, but do you have in mind the first time you were conscious of the experience? I remember being at the seaside as a child, playing in the sand with my sister, jumping in the water when there were waves, staying there until my fingers got pruned and I was freezing. My love for the sea beat my love for warmth and comfort, I just wanted to be a mermaid and snorkel, experience all the beautiful sea life.
As I've said so many times before, I'm a summer baby. Not just because I was born in summer, but because my soul loves the summer time. Being in any environment with water brings me tremendous joy, just like when I was a child. It's my happy place. The only major thing that changed is my courage to go into cold water. Don't care for that anymore. Even so, if I'm on a boat trip I will always jump in the water as many times as I'm given the chance. I love everything about the seaside. Listening to the waves, the salty smell of the sea, the feeling of sand between my toes, the water on my skin, it's all just pure bliss. So tell me, what is your favorite part of beach holidays?

I've been on a foodie kick lately, trying to recreate a lot of Italian recipes from my summer holiday in Sicily. With that in mind I wanted to share an Italian food diary post from that trip. Usually wouldn't post two food posts one after the other, but we all need a bit of mid-week comfort food inspiration. As you kow Italian is one of my favorite cuisines and food cultures. And like most people, I could have that every day without getting bored, which I did when I lived in Italy.

Foolishly, I have deleted most pictures of my meals in India and only have 4 left. Not sure how that even happened seeing how many food pictures I have in my phone, but must have saved my favorite four. Since I was keen to share more, I decided to add a few from the Berlin trip. Loved all the dishes in the pictures and would love to recreate some of them. Let's bring back #CookingWithCari on the blog. I've brought it back on Instagram on stories, so until make sure to have a look there and follow.

For my final post from India I want to share this dreamy lilac dress. Well, the last post will be the food diary, which I can't wait to share. But back to this dress. I love fancy/dressy options, but you rarely get the opportunity to wear them more than once and since I'm all about reusing and repurposing, I actually borrowed this from my sister. It truly is a beautiful dress, very flattering and fun to wear. Do you share clothes with your siblings/cousins/parents?

Looking at these pictures makes me miss my wipsy bangs, they're soft and romantic as well as super flattering. But, then I remember how hard they are to maintain and that they looks this gorgeous only in pictures, so no more bangs for a few years. Fringe talk aside, after sharing those gorgeous traditional Indian outfits in the last post, I wanted to share a look that falls in line with my usual style. Of course for occasion dresses I'm choosing my favorite, Self Portrait. You know me, I love the romantic vibe, statement sleeves and asymmetrical hemline. Feeling like a modern day princess every time I wear one of his creations. Are you a fan? Let me know!

I was fortunate enough to wear a few different traditional Indian outfits on this amazing trip, so of course I want to share them with you. The pink saree was my favorite, not just because of the beautiful light pink shade but because of the craftsmanship. From the beautiful and detailed design to the luxurious fabric. I felt comfortable and beautiful wearing all the outfits, truly thankful I got to experience this. Have you worn traditional Indian clothes?

Going on a safari has been a dream of mine since high-school, which I'm sure doesn't surprise those of you who've been following since the beginning. I love animals and always try to incorporate activities with animals in my holidays. Being able to experience a safari in the Kanha tiger reserve was surreal. It was an emotional experience for me, seeing all these beautiful animals in their natural habitat and of course, the highlight was seeing tigers. Would you go on a safari in India?

Delhi is a fascinating city. You have 'Old Delhi' which includes the historic part and is situated in the north part of the city, and 'New Delhi', located in the south part, built as the capital of British India. Delhi is a cultural center with top sights such as the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, Agrasen ki Baoli old water reservoir, India's Gate, Swaminarayan Akshardham the Hindu Temple and so many more. To me, Delhi beautifully merges the iconic historic parts with the modern lifestyle and an incredible food scene. I fell in love with the food in India, will do a food post at the end of this travel series. But for now, would love to hear from you - have you ever thought about visiting Delhi?

Welcome to Jaipur babes! During our guided tour through the City Palace we found out Jaipur was painted pink in 1876 to welcome and impress Prince Albert. Fun fact, the maharaja's wife also loved the shade and convinced the maharaja to pass a law declaring the buildings must be painted Jaipur pink, law still standing today. The pink city was probably one of my favorite cities in India! Jaipur has a lot to offer, not just the pink buildings. It's the capital of Rajasthan and home to the City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Amber Fort. Unfortunately I didn't have time to visit the Amber Fort, but I hope to go back one day. Have you visited Jaipur and did you fall in love with it?

| You can't travel to India without planing to visit the famous Taj Mahal, so here we are. It's been over a year since this amazing trip and I'm finally sharing pictures from it. I was fascinated with the Taj Mahal's story. Of course, we all know it's India's most famous monument and on everyone's bucket list. The Taj was built by emperor Shah Jahan as a dedication to his wifey Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth. It's made of white marble and was decorated with crystals, lapis and turquoise. The monument is a gesture of love but also symbolizes power through its scale, symmetry and lavishness. There is a theory that a second black marble Taj Mahal was meant to be built for emperor Shah, but constructions stoped after he was imprisoned by his son. The Taj Mahal is a UNESCO world heritage and one of the 7 new wonders of the world. Truly breathtaking to see. The day we visited was quite foggy and cold, yet nothing could take away from its beauty. After our visit we went for lunch and drinks at the famous and luxurious Oberoi. Pictures don't do the Taj Mahal and Oberoi justice, but I hope you enjoy them. Have a pink-tastic day! Kisses |
Just like flowers bloom every spring, you can choose to have hope in your heart. This too shall pass and everything will be better again. It's hard to see now, because of how scary it is, but it will get better. Don't give up hope!
"Spring is a beautiful reminder of how beautiful change can truly be"
You can choose to see the brighter side even in darker times. Talk to your family and friends, ask for help. You don't have to keep it all in, reach out to someone. Stay safe babes!

Who's missing food and socializing? raise your hands 🤚🏻 We're lucky enough to still have plenty local restaurant delivering, but I do miss the experience. It's a hard time for us all, especial local restaurants and shops that were forced to close because of the pandemic. Thankfully you can shop at local stores, rather than big supermarkets or look for small restaurants that deliver, rather than chains. It's an opportunity to discover new places, hidden gems. However, I have to say really feeling the whole
"I wish I developed more hobbies than eating out"
Did you pick up any new hobbies during quarantine? I've been spending my time doing the usual working, cooking, working out and binge watching series, as well as unhealthy amount of Disney+. Soon I'll also share what I've been loving to watch and eat. Stay safe babes!

Being in self-isolation can be challenging, depending on your home environment and because of all the 'pressure' to learn a new hobby or a new language, get into painting or writing, exercise, do 20 steps skincare routines, do this or that and so on. Social media is full of all the things you should do. For anyone needing to hear this, babe it's ok to do nothing. If today you feel like starting 100 projects and be your most productive self, perfect do you. But if you can barely get out of bed to brush your teeth, know that doing nothing is good for you as well. Give yourself a break and listen to all your thoughts, acknowledge them and understand what they mean. Find your inner peace and love yourself! Trust me, no one is productive all the time and that's fine. Stay safe babes!

Today's message is simple, yet at times hard to achieve. Be better! than you were yesterday, than last month, than last year. But don't compare yourself to anyone else, especially not actresses or models. It's unhealthy to compare yourself to anyone else, because we are all different and unique. You are on your journey and everything will happen at the right time for you. So be kind and be better for yourself. Stay safe babes!

This outfit simply makes me feel like a modern day princess. It's probably the headband and Rapunzel hair! But honestly, I just love how simple yet put together the look is. A spring day to day uniform, if you will. I'll keep it short and sweet this week, stay safe babes!

As someone finding themselves in self-isolation during these scary times, I can't help but dream of spring and last year when I was able to roam around care free, taking pictures in my favorite places. In the spirit of dreaming of spring and better times (which we'll find ourselves in again very soon, hopefully), I'm sharing this effortless look from my looks archive. Stay safe babes!

I wanted to share these pictures we took during the festive season, because they make me smile every time I look at them and sometimes that should be reason enough. Not every post needs to have this big significant message that should be shared with the world, it can simply be something that puts a smile on your face.
Keep safe!
Have a pink-tastic day!
