Better later than never! Egypt post!

It's been a while since I last time wrote a post & I'm sorry for being absent! It was a really good & busy summer! Of corse that's not an excuse, but today I'm back & fainally writting about my trip to Egypt, more specific to Hurghada.

I guess lots of people, especially for the last few years, don't want to travel to Egypt for safety reasons, but today I'm here telling you that people in Egypt are very nice & friendly! You have nothing to worry about as long as you don't walk into a dark street away from a main road... I mean they might want to steal with a trick your money or something, but remember only in the dark streets which are located away from the main streets (on the main road are all the shops & bazaars), but that can happen to you in any other country too. People are really nice & I recomend it for you to see it!

Egypt is known for it's rich history ( Luxor, Kairo,..) & mostly sightseeing these places is good if you're staying in Egypt between October & Aprile, because it's not that hot yet there. However pyramids are not the only thing to see & experience in Egypt!!! Kiting, surfing & diving are just another fun things to do in Egypt!! I went to this lovely trip with a boat where we were diving all day long! It's a must do thing there , because their corals, fishes & other animals are so interesting to see. So yes if you love active holidays Egypt is definitely for you!

Egypt has become through years touristic & has many beutiful hotels to offer. However, you have to know that most of the hotels are a 4 or 5 stars hotels, but accorindg to their standards. In result there might be a hotel which has 5 stars, but it's not really a 5 star hotel according to our standards. So what I suggest is that you choose a 5 star hotel, because it will be at least 4 star hotel in reallity, meanwhile a 3 star hotel might be very disappointing.

Transport in Egypt is crazy! So if you're not a native there don't drive there! Rather take a taxi which are not expensive or their local busses which are so cheap! If you don't feel comfortable enough going on your own to the city just ask some other people you meet in the hotel if they want to go with you to the city & the feeling is definitely better! ;)

Teen choice awards 2014!

So another year is around and Teen choice awards were happening last night! So let me put it out there, I will comment some of the looks that are obviously the most popular on several websites and that people are talking about, however I might disagree with some of  ˝the best looks˝, however it's first time that I have the one & only fave redcarpet look!!!

Last night we've seen quite few looks that were either pulled off gorgeously or not at all. So let's talk about these dresses that are so specific and hard to pull off. Lucy Hale & Bella Thorne wore dresses that were so great designed, however definitely not for every body type. I can say that Bella Thorne looked amazing in that dress & I wouldn't really go for that kind of dress normally, because as I said it's hard to get it right, but she made it look so good! Meanwhile Lucy had this beautiful red dress and it's clearly working for her as it makes her look a bit taller, but the upper part I'm not a big fan of, it's like something is still missing, but of course she still looked amazing!

Another three looks are from Nina Dobrev, Shay Mitchell & Chloe Grace Moretz, they all looked beautiful and somehow made to work this outfits although these looks are just another looks that are hard to pull off. The thing is that a certain cut, pattern or a mix of colores isn't for everybody, or they look great hanging in the store or in your wardrobe but not on you. But these girls made it!

Selena Gomez & Debby Ryan both looked amazing, although pretty elegant & sofisticated, but definitly beautiful!

Meanwhile Kylie Jenner looked gorgeouse as always, but it's so interesting how she kept her style & this look would totally work for a party, but for awards not if this was some other girl! She always does it somehow & a BRAVO to her for that!

Demi Lovato is definitely a true inspiration! You don't have to be petite & skinny, you can be small & curvy but still look gorgeouse! She can be a great example out there, for all the girls who are small & curvy,because Demi is confident in her skin & it's the only right thing to be for her. And it's clearly seen that she feels not only confident but also comfortable & another great thing is that she knows what works for her body! Look at this picture, she's amazing, beautiful,... She really couldn't find a more perfect fit than this dress! So she's my definite winner of a perfect dress for her body type!

And the last look is by Taylor Swift! She was the one & only who pulled a redcarpet look from all the angels perfectly! Her hair, make up, dress, the color, so her style... I mean you just have to love this look!

Get fashion for less

So this kind of post came into my head a few days ago & as I love cheking diferent online shops I decided why not to choose few styles from celebrities and try to find pieces like theirs for less. I will try to give you some examples how to come up with a look like theirs! So let the fun begins! :)

So the first look is by Ashley Tisdale, very comfy and chill look and I love it!

Blouse : danielle-wrap-front-oversized-blouse or tobi-just-pleatonic-blouse

denim shorts : basically any denim shorts would be ok, but just some examples carley-light-wash-ripped-denim-hotpants or sophie-distressed-bleach-denim-hotpants

shoes : you can find similiar at asos and they are super cheap! ASOS-JAZZMAN-Espadrilles

bag : shell-pink-straw-contrast-fold-over-clutch or brown-cork-print-clutch

sunglasses : brown-animal-print-half-frame-sunglasses or darcey-frameless-wayfarer-sunglasses or the cheapest option brown-tortoiseshell-rounded-retro-sunglasses

This look is perfect for spring as for summer as it makes you fresh and light on your way to a lunch or just walking around.

So this is just a start of Get fashion for less, I'm still not shore should I do this post only about one celebrity each time or should I mix the best looks of the week from diferent people and try to find cheaper options of their looks... For now I'm planing on doing the next Get fashion for less about Vanessa Hudgens's style since she is one of my biggest inspirations, so stay tuned!

p.s. I have to share with you my fave two looks from 2014 Young Hollywood Awards:

5 things that will make you look beautiful!

Today I wanted to make a post about what makes a woman / girl beautiful. The answer is super simple, it might even sound a bit cliche, but I really wanted to put this out there that no matter how cliche this might sound is so true!!

So number one thing that makes you beautiful is CONFIDENCE! Being comfortable with yourself it shows not only on the inside but also on the outside, it's just that glow that's screaming I love being me & I love my life! I know this is hard to achieve, including myself, so I'm trying my best to embrace myself the best I can! It's hard but with the time I believe you can come to the point when you're 100% comfortable in your skin. The first step is for sure STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS! Second step would be stop thinking about what you don't like about yourself! Think about the things you love about yourself!

Number two: A smile! A girl that smiles instantly attracts people, because she is sending out there good vibes.

Number three: Your hair! Get the haircut that suits your face best, it might even help you gain your confidence.

Number four: Wear clothes you like and don't be affraid to try new things. If you feel good wearing something, than you should, don't think about what other think, because they will think what you will let them think, so don't worry about that!

Number five: Try not to overthink things and do in your life what you love!

As you can read I've been talking all the time about love and being happy, because that truly is what makes you beautiful and unique! So embrace yourself and if there's something you don't like about yourself either getting fit or you don't like your haircut, well than make something about it to feel better about yourself and learn to love yourself first, the rest comes after that naturally & all falls into places! ;)

P.S. Stay tuned, post about Egypt will be up within few days and some new topics to talk about too!
