my flight will be via The Netherlands where i’m planning to stay a night (or two) in Amsterdam, catch up with a friend , visit a museum or two, wonder the streets, have a huge cup of coffee and from there on just let myself surprised.

after arriving in London , Andrada and i planned a girlie moment sipping champagne out of paper cups in THAT* place in Kingston.

from there on i’ll show you in images what my great expectations are. from both cities.

*that place ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

so, while listening to Hugh Laurie’s album Let Them Talk on Youtube (amazing album, btw) , i wasn’t completely surprised when i saw that he is the new face of L’oreal Paris Men Expert. ’twas about time, i say. and yes, it’s a very subjective point of view when i say that (really, who can blame me?) but i think that he is perfect for L’oreal. He’s funny, he’s good looking, he impersonates a witty, scandalous, brilliant doctor in House MD and he does it really well.

but some shoes are just the exception needed to confirm the rule. just like these ones, which give me the perfect summer feeling, of sun , light showers, rainbows and a good time, even though i’m not the one wearing them…

i like this one mostly because of the shoes and the glam-rock combination (though a bit last season) with that deserty/ native indian twist given by the feather and the dehydrated flowers/branches.

my only small objection would be that glass “table” which is poorly exectuted. i would have chosen a dark mahogany wood (small) table or a bigger rock, for that matter.

but

the thing is that here you can’t find that many (and do exclude the mall, the “place to be” for some.yuck) eye catching window installations. so, cudos for this one.

i will try to upload more photos of the few good window installations i see in Timisoara.

YSL sunglasses hard case

so, if it doesn’t rain or snow, i just walk. i get to listen to my carefully selected items in the playlist and most important, i get to think and plan things ( though it never turns out the way i plan it whilst listening to Tricky).

so here i am writing about long walks to work when actually i wanted to tell you more about my new red shoes. which of course, need no smart words. they’re simply adorable.

now i’m happy to say that i do follow the yellow (well, grey) brick road to work every day.

love,
