Santa reloaded

I must of been a good girl this year... cause Santa was more than generous...speaking of gifts. The Estee Set is gorgeous and all the products I tried so far speak for themselves! Really good quality!

Besides that, another gift that I've been craving for was this pair of waterproof UGGs, that I adore. Can't wait to go out in the snow wearing them!
To choose has always been hard for me...and when I spotted the UGG shoes, I had to try on all the pairs, all the colors...fell in love with the waterproof red, grey, black ones, then with the classic tall purple ones. Hmmm.... But , in the end, these were the crush of the season.

Stay tuned for more pics to come...

Other little gifts included these nail polishes(can't wait to try on the Sephora yellow one), tights, black stretched pants, scarf, accessories, clothes...that I'll probably be wearing in the next days...

How about you? Did Santa bring you all you wanted from your list? Tell me about it!

Love, Gab~

Absolutely Ladylike

One of the biggest joys that Christmas brings along every year...for me at least, is decorating the tree. Last year I got to do 3 Christmas trees. That was unique :))

I remember when I was little I used to have my favorite globe/ball to cling to the tree. It was a golden one, with a tree branch, holding a lighted candle. It was old...probably that's why I used to love it so much. It had all the things that meant Christmas for me...the golden atmosphere, the king of trees, and the warm light that every Christmas holiday brings along both on our faces and souls. Christmas is, by far, my favorite holiday... I love it more than my own B-day.

It's the perfect HOLIDAY.

After decorating the tree and doing some more additional holiday work, we've decided it was time to relax and get in he mood for Christmas deeper... We went to Iulius Mall, @Parisienne and indulged ourselves with a well-deserved cocktail.

I had a hard time ~ :)) ~ choosing out of 2 cocktails -Cosmopolitan or Daquiri...I guess you can see which one won.

Can't get enough of this Vero Moda starry cardigan...it's just so perfect for the holiday season and so ladylike. With a white undershirt, a silk scarf, black stretch pants and knee high boots -

I managed to pull of a comfy, relaxed (yet feminine) outfit.

Not to mention that Mate played the piano...It was a perfect evening out with people I love. Cause that is Christmas all about...sharing love and good time.

Hope you do enjoy this holiday as much as I do!!

...Santa is on his way.... :)

Love, Gab~

oh, Christmas Tree

just push ► SATC

Well, besides going shopping, reading, eating and cuddling on my bf's chest, these days I started to watch Sex and The City...like from the beginning. I never got the chance to see all the episodes...when all this SATC craziness started, I had other things on my mind...like school/college. So, along with a tone of classic movies on my must-see-holiday list, a couple of SATC episodes managed to squeeze in... :) So last night, after we came back from a Christmas Holiday Celebration...it was time to push ►

preparing food for lovely ones

I love winter holidays...I said that and I will say iy again. It's just magic! These days were so relaxing and fun, plus I got time to read...and I love it! Today I made some chicken tacos for luch. Mate's mom really enjoyed it! And a big bowl of fruit salad at the end of the meal, was perfect. Fresh food for a healthy life...that is an unsaid rule that I try follow all the time for some years now... Ok, see ya!

I started my winter holiday, by leaving Baia Mare. The best thing I could do this month! :D

Christmas in Bucovina was a pleasant idea to make it reality...so we've decided! From Mate's home in Suceava, we started at 9 o'clock in the morning our trip to Borsa, a ski resort for a snowboarding weekend, that turned out to be really cute.
These pics were taken on a break through the breathtaking Prislop Pass on our way to Borsa. It was freezing, but for that view, it didn't matter anymore...So you can see for yourselves!
After the snowboarding, we went in the Borsa town to have dinner, then hit a supermarket to fill our sweets necessary, and then back to the cabin for a hell of good time at the sauna... I can't tell you how welcomed that thing was...A refreshing shower and then -> to bed. The cabin was all made of wood with old ad posters and tiny rooms...and the blackout that we had for more than an hour and the candle light, made it feel like a vintage adventure! The only thing that annoyed me..was a man in the next room to ours that snored all night. Lucky enough I had my ipod with me and it helped me endure this experience easier...Man, I hate when someone snores.

Well, I have to say, both me and Mate hit the wall (that the rooms shared) several times, hoping it will make him stop. It did...for a few seconds, then he was back on track! :O :O

All in all, it was a nice experience, plus I met new friends :) as seen down below :)

Look at those amazing trees loaded with snow!

A true delight to share the same sun light with them!

This is Labus, the guardian of "Ursu Cabin" :) Lovely puppy!

Hope you're enjoying your weekend too, wherever you might be!

Read a book!

These are the latest new books that will keep me entertained for the next weeks :) Well, I still have to finish a book by Simone de Beauvoir... But I'll do it...I just have to finish updating my blog!

See you soon!

mama, I'm coming home!

So, yeah...me and Mate said today bye, bye to Baia Mare and all of it...and went HOME. I am so happy! Managed to pack -I don't know how we do it, but always we're full, the car is loaded. It's true that I take a lot of stuff with me (and most of the time I don't get to wear everything...), but...the important thing is that WE'RE GOING HOME! To get a fresh breath of love, chillness and merry holidays!!! Christmas is coming!!!!!! These are some pics taken with the iphone...glad we have snow! Can't wait to go snoaboarding!

See ya soon!
