Christmas in Barcelona.

Happy holidays lovelies! I hope you enjoyed quality time with your family and friends, ate some amazing food, got some fabulous gifts and had lots of rest during days of Christmas celebration. 

Last couple of days I haven't been posting as much as I could content wise as I was busy preparing my first Christmas dinner, cakes, sweets and decorating the house. Since this was our first Christmas in Barcelona and actually first Christmas together for my boyfriend and I, we kind of had to start from scratch, buy all decorations, figure our our own traditions and apply some we learned growing up from our families. 

It was actually quite nice to cook on my own and enjoy Christmas in vanilla scented candle smelling house, with this gorgeous Christmas tree, my dog Papi and boyfriend by my side.

We spent most of the Christmas day at home, eating, playing games and opening presents. I got my boyfriend a cozy, warm and soft bathrobe, some funny and sexy stocking stuffer and a new generation electric shaver and he got me latest version of iPad with pink covers of course! I am absolutely obsessed with it already! Papi also got some dog treats and toys for being good and not eating to much of the house decor.

Day after Christmas we spent again with mostly lounging at home and in the evening we went for a walk and dinner here in gorgeously decorated Barcelona.

How was your Christmas darlings?

Swarovski brings sparkle to your holiday season!

 Some years ago while interning in Showroom Seven New York I was admiring custom editorial pieces of costume jewelry made with Swarovski Elements, they would make an average girl turn to glam diva in a snap of a necklace clip! 

I remember coming home from work and telling my boyfriend how bedazzling these pieces were and not all of them were so expensive either, so year later when he got his first real job he would  get me at least one Swarovski jewelry piece a year while we were together, I still have all of them. My favorite are black leather crystallized bracelets.

Imagine my excitement when I was contacted to participate in promotion of this lovely Swarovski Elements Advent Calendar on companies Facebook page. 

I got this elegant Entwined Glamour Bracelet by SWAROVSKI CRYSTALLIZED™ as part of this partnership and I have been wearing it every day since I got it. It really goes with every outfit as it gives a touch of glam to casual day outfit and an additional sparkle to an evening look.

Now, you are probably wondering how this lovely Advent Calendar works, just like you unwrap different candy piece with an old school chocolate calendar same mechanics are applied here, the difference is that here, every day you can come back to this calendar, reveal, share and comment various luxurious items bedazzled with Swarovski Elements, all from gorgeous Casadei shoes, True Religion jeans, Coach rings to Godiva's chocolate and truffle collection shared in first 10 days of December.

This calendar also features a bit sparkly contest where the final winners awards in the grand prize drawing are grown up girls candies - SHOES! Times two! As there are two final winners!

Here I am not talking about any shoes but rather a pair of SHEYLA Stilettoes of Kennel & Schmenger bedazzled with SWAROVSKI®ELEMENTS or as a second prize a pair of SOHO Sneakers of Kennel & Schmenger made with SWAROVSKI®ELEMENTS (both in size 5).

This is an international contest, all you need to do is like the Swarovski Elements Facebook page, enter their Advent Calendar application tab and click on the bottom to enter the brand prize drawing where you need to fill out your email and name. Hurry up, contest ends on Christmas! :)

Good luck lovelies! 

Do you have a Swarovski piece which you wear daily? 

*The raffles will be live from December 1^st until December 25^th, 2012 at 12:00 a.m. CET. The selection of the two (2) winners takes place through a random generator. All winners will be contacted via the email address provided to get their shipping address to send out the prize no later than January 31^st.

Holiday plans.

This year I don’t care about shopping & gifts,

I don’t care about working longer or putting in some extra shifts.

I’ve already started counting down the days and hours,

…and then all through December every night is ours.

All I really want to do is spend some more special time with you,

I want to watch you sleep, hear you snore

…and spin around while dancing with you…

next to steaming morning coffee, over the kitchen floor.

Naughty or nice?

I am sure many of you are going out tonight for Christmas Eve with friends or tomorrow on a Christmas evening and you are wondering what to wear. You are thinking it should probably be something dressy and holidayish but are already panicking cause stores are working short hours today and you still have gazillion other things to do today and apsolutely nothing to wear?

Here are some tips to make your selection easier....Keep it classic and simple in base!


Elegant classic cut dress and some great shoes are always safe one step solution.
Best fabrics: silk/lace/velvet/sequin
Best colors: red/black/gold/silver/royal green

Don't forget to pick a stunner shoes if you are going with one color, simple,  none sparkly dress...

Dress it up with focus on details!

Best accessories: head piece/bow tie/big ring/rich neckless/small purse/chandelier earrings

(pick one or two of the listed)

Make up: dramatic (red wine lipstic/red or black nails/smokey eyes)

Most importantly - bring your smile!


Enjoy lovelies! 
Have a berry merry sexy Christmas! :)
