Las Vegas is a magical and mysterious place, a disruptive reality where time seems to stop. From an architectural and innovative point of view it's simply amazing what was created there. This was my second time in Vegas - if you remember the first time I took you along all the great hotels on the Strip. I have seen most of them back in 2014 but I still love to visit and admire them, they deserve it. I'm always fascinated by the flamingos at Flamingo Hotel and by the interior garden decorations at Bellagio, which never cease to amaze. You can never get bored in Las Vegas! I love the diversity and chaos, so much fun and I recommend everyone visit at least once.
Have you visited?

I can't believe we're at the end of this travel vlog series, the videos were delayed quite a bit but I hope it was worth the wait. Which vlog did you enjoy the most? I think this is one of my faves though it's the longest. Go check it out and show it some love!

Navy and white stripes are always a must during the summer time, the nautical theme is perfect to bring summer vibes into the city. What I appreciate most about these striped loose fitted trousers is the combination of both thin and thick stripes. The blend of both types of stripes give the trousers more character. These type of trousers elongate and flatter the figure, which is why I adore them so much. I find they look best with some sort of cropped top, on this day I had chosen a light knit cropped jumper, but with the current heatwave a barely there crop top might be a better choice. The fabric of the trousers is lightweight which is why they would still be wearable with this London heatwave, however you're probably better off wearing a lightweight flowing dress.
Are you living in the UK? How are you dealing with this heatwave?

The Chihuly Museum has to be my favorite background for pictures that I encountered this vacation. The playful colors and shapes are mesmerizing. It's inspiring to see what Dale Chihuly has created, actually it's magical and pictures don't manage to do it justice. This was one of the places I had carefully planned to visit and shoot in. To honor the captivating creations I choose a playful dress with asymmetric cuts and patch-like fabrics combing pastel colors.
My summer styling has been quite feminine combing pastel with white-ivory shades in light weight and flowing fabrics. I adore structured pieces even for the warmer months, but I've felt a stronger pull towards ruffled chiffon flowing dresses this season. Every time I see street-style pictures of bloggers wearing flowing dresses I can't help but to fall in love and dream of ways to shoot such a fabulous piece.
Another must have for the summer that has made its way in my heart have been the slingback shoes. I've loved the original Chanel slingback almost from the beginning, however had a harder time warming up to the dupes and similar styles other brands created. Though I must admit to loving the Dior slingbacks also from start. After purchasing the pair featured in this post I fell in love with the style. Not only are they flattering, but they are also comfortable and chic.
How do you feel about slingback shoes?

This post comes as proof of how much I've embraced florals and fun patterns, as I mentioned in my 27 - reflective editorial post. I love how fun and bright this kimono is, but also how much it feels like my style. This is something that about a year and a half ago wouldn't have been possible. It's fun to reflect just how much personal style can evolve. The floral kimono was perfect against the urban Seattle sceneries, creating a beautiful contrast.
In what way has your style evolved?

I fell in love with Seattle in less than a day. The energy the city has is addicting and the sceneries are unbeatable, gorgeous lake with a mountain view mixed with an eclectic city. My absolute favorite experience was visiting the Chihuly Museum, which I'll touch base on more in posts to come. For now watch the video below and prepare to fall in love with this diverse city and its breathtaking views.

Welcome to Seattle babes, a city surrounded by water, mountains and forests. Seattle was one of our favorite stops on this US trip and I'm sure in the following posts you will discover why and fall in love with the city as well. It has one of the most gorgeous sceneries we saw on this trip and as luck with have it gorgeous weather, which apparently is rare. Also, it happens to be home to Amazon, Microsoft and Starbucks.
Now Seattle has good coffee beyond Starbucks, but obviously I wanted to try it in the original Starbucks store. Needless to say I drank a lot of coffees daily. Don't mean to disappoint anyone, but in case you were thinking of visiting the OG, Starbucks tastes the same everywhere so don't expect anything out of the ordinary from their original shop. There is one Starbucks shop worth visiting, which I'll talk about in a following blog post.
Back to the landscape. The view from the space needle is breathtakingly beautiful and I'm happy we decided to go up, but in case you don't want to spend your money on it an equally beautiful view you can get from a boat ride or just from the waterfront admiring the mountains. The bubble gum wall is also quite fun to stop by and snap a colorful picture.
Have you visited Seattle?

I bought this skirt last year and since then have shared multiple outfits with it. Since the beginning I shared how much I adore it and after a year it still is one of my favorite pieces. The pleated design makes it sweet and feminine, but the slit gives a sexy vibe. It's flowing having a lot of movement as you walk or dance around, which makes the style even more flattering. I could praise it all day long!
Do you have a clothing piece you can't imagine your wardrobe without? That kind of item that you can throw on whenever and it will make you feel fabulous.

By now you all know from my Instagram feed how much I like soft shades of pink. Pink is a dainty color that symbolizes sweetness, femininity, playfulness, charm and tenderness, which is why it attracts so many women and men. It has become an essential part of my wardrobe and almost everything I buy nowadays matches and compliments this lovely color. Personally I prefer cooler tones, so it's quite easy to style baby pink shades. I almost see it as a neutral shade, as funny as that sounds. Everyone has a shade that makes them feel special and lately pink has been the one for me.
Speaking of special, I love the pearl details of these espadrilles. The moment I saw them I knew they would be perfect for my city hoping vacation to the States. Especially when traveling I like to pack items that can easily be styled together and that go with everything else in my suitcase. You can see how I styled the pearl espadrilles also in this post. When purchasing new shoes, be aware 90% time they need to be broken in, no matter the type of shoe. I made a rookie mistake and trusted that espadrilles wouldn't need breaking in. They rubbed on my heels and hurt my feet, but a few bandaids took care of the problem. Just a detail to keep in mind if you're purchasing shoes before leaving on holiday.
What is the color in which you always feel special?

Editing these pictures and putting together the post not only makes me miss being on vacation, but also my pink hair. I simply adore how fun, girly and sassy it looks. It's a shame it last only a few washes, don't you agree? Before the summer will end I'll probably color my hair pink at least once more and I'll make sure to take a lot of pictures to share with you. Let me know if you would also like to see the process of me coloring my hair.
The pink hair also looks great with blue and green hues. A few weeks ago I told that my newest color obsession is pink with petrol blue, that love has only grown. The subtle way in which the pink strands of hair look against the forest green top only reinforces my wish to style these two shades even more often.
For this look I also tried something new and a bit outside my comfort zone. I don't usually buy into trends if I don't feel they match my style and personality, however I couldn't stop from purchasing the skinny sunnies. They don't particularly match my sense of fashion nor do they compliment my face shape, but they are a fun trend to try and I felt very sassy wearing them. When buying into trends that you know won't stay in your wardrobe for long, I highly recommend acquiring the affordable version. It's probably one of those trends we'll look back on and wonder what and why. Fashion is meant to be fun tho, so experiment and enjoy taking risks. You will always wear another outfit tomorrow.
Do you like the skinny sunnies trend?

It's been a while since I last posted a video, but I am happy to be back with a lookbook travel vlog. The truth is I had felt uninspired and didn't want to publish something that didn't make me happy. I always get motivated when I travel, so this felt like a natural video to do. More will follow from my vacation in the US. For now, please go show some love to the video and subscribe.

Fun fact, in high-school if I would see someone dressed amazingly I would tell them. I didn't worry that it might be weird to walk up to a stranger and honestly it's never weird to be kind. A lovely compliment can change someone's mood and we should always embrace being nice to others in a more vocal way. I'm pretty sure at least 90% of the time people would radiate with happiness if you compliment them, you just have to be brave enough to take that step.
Do you ever pay compliments to strangers on the street?

Before traveling to San Francisco I researched a lot of locations to visit, restaurants and cute spots for pictures - I'm sure most photography enthusiasts, travel bloggers and organized people do this. It was hard to find all the things I wanted in one place, which is why after traveling to San Francisco I would like to share with you a list of the best things to do and eat. In my Flower craze & pom pom cardigan post I very honestly shared how San Francisco wasn't as amazing as I had hoped, but there still were lovely places to see and delicious food to eat. Thinking even more about it I realized that my love for this city would have been greater if I had stayed less days, as comical as that might sound. Anyway, let's get on with the list.
If you've visited San Francisco or live there share your favorite spots in the comments.

The more I travel the more I relate to the following quote: "When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go. I still dream of so many of the gorgeous places I got to see in my travels so far and it only makes me realize how much more there is to see and how little I've seen so far. For now I am happy to relive these gorgeous views while sharing some pictures of my holiday.
Would you leave everything behind to go traveling?

The first stop on our holiday in the States was San Francisco. I was beyond excited to explore the city as I had heard and read so many amazing stories, I had high hopes. The problem when being told how incredible a destination is, is that the expectations become greater than the reality. After exploring the city for myself I realized the vision in my mind didn't match the real San Francisco, so I felt disappointed. However, it's not the cities fault but my own for fantasizing too much it would look like in the movies. I've also learned that you need to find people who feel and perceive things similarly to you when seeking advice. We all have different expectations and appreciate different things, so it's only natural to trust the opinion of someone with a similar view.
That being said, San Francisco was a lovely city full of cute corners filled with flowers and colorful houses. I especially fell in love with the Palace of Fine Arts which I featured in last week's post. As a huge fan of flowers I adored seeing them everywhere, it filled my with joy and positiveness. I also appreciated the sunny weather which allowed me to live my best spring fashionable life. For this trip I really wanted a cardigan that could transform any boring outfit, making it cute and fun. This pom pom cardigan is the perfect piece, wouldn't you agree?
Have you experienced something similar when taking travel recommendations?

Traveling overseas can take a toll on your body no matter how well prepared you are, especially when you end up having 8 hours time difference from your original time zone. Jet lag happens when your usual sleep pattern is disturbed after a long flight and it can take your body between 3 to 5 days to recover. It is said jet lag is better when flying west and worst when flying east, because our bodies function better on a longer day rather than a shorter one. I've never experienced proper jet lag honestly, I just get tired. However I've found 5 tips that really help me and hopefully they will help you as well. Keep reading.

Now that the traveling months are over, I'm back to fashion posts. Todays post will feature an outfit that I wore during my vacation. The maxi dress I have shown already, but I still love it and plan on wearing it in the future. You can see this as another way of wearing it. The first time I wore it with a leather jacket, but I won't go into the details, since you can check it out HERE. Maybe I'll show you more ways in which I like to wear this same dress.
I went for a girly, but still very comfortable look. All the details of the belt and bag are gold toned, which combines amazing with the nude colour.

Welcome to Paris, while still in Las Vegas. Paris is one of the cities I want to visit, but for know the Vegas parisian view will have to do. I had an eclair, a french style pastry, so I'm good. It is a lovely hotel and another new world you get to explore while in Vegas.
It's amazing and surprising how many details go into these hotels. They recreate so many cities and worlds, offering you the opportunity to visit some of the most wonderful places possible.
This is the last post of this month and of the traveling series. I hope you enjoyed this concept and loved "exploring" these wonderful places with me.
Have a pink-tastic day!
Kisses!
