STREET STYLE #11

It still isn't that cold in Budapest yet, but I am very much into layering because I am now sick for the 3rd time in the last 2 months. :( I'm doing all I can for better health!

Check out the layered clothing street styles for this week :) Enjoy!

The Real New Wolf of Wall Street

Margot Robbie, 23, actress from Australia. New leading lady in Hollywood and absolutely stunning. I'm already following the styles she's been rocking on the red carpet for the premiers for TWWS, but also am intrigued by her style in the film. Margot may look familiar to you already - she's known for her role on Neighbours and the TV show Pan Am. She's also appeared in the film About Time and just recently took on a main role, as Leo's 2nd wife in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Have you seen the new film with DiCaprio and Robbie? Thoughts?

MK & A Inspiration

These two sisters have been building their brand The Row since 2006 and their Pre-Fall 2014 collection was just recently showcased. Their über simple pieces had me thinking about what exactly defines their style and how their style has evolved over the years. Take a look at their Pre-Fall '14 collection HERE! and leave your thoughts below. Enjoy :)

Model Alert!

Kate Moss's younger half-sister, Lottie Moss (16 years old) has been signed by Storm Model Management - the same agency as her elder supermodel sibling. Lottie was just 13 years old when she first caught the eye of scouting agents, after she appeared as a bridesmaid at Kate Moss's wedding in July 2011. Lottie's mother and Storm decided that she was too young and her career had been put on hold until now that she's turned the ripe age of 16. She is just 5'5" in height, while Kate is 5'8", and she has the same high cheekbones as her sister. Looking forward to seeing more of her face soon!

Happy 2014!!

Hello to a NEW YEAR!

I can not believe how quickly time has flown by and that it is 2014! I hope that you spent your NYE with good friends and loved ones and have already started this fresh year off on a good foot! I've been spending my last week in the beautiful mountains in Austria with my sister and her boyfriend, who are visiting from Canada. We are now back in Budapest after a well rested and wonderfully spent mini vacation.

(We went a little camera happy and took a LOAD of photos -over 1000+ so here are a few of them...)

Enjoy the lovely scenery.

Had to post this one... they were so exhausted on the train...

This is the beautiful, serene town of Gmunden

We took a trip to the small town of Hallstatt

The town square of Hallstatt

A small cemetery

The Beinhaus (bone house) in Hallstatt dates back to the 12th century. There are over 1200 skulls; 610 have been painted in flowery designs and they are neatly stacked in rows along with next of kin and have the date of decease written on them. Since the cemetery is so small without the possibility to expand and due to the fact that cremations were in former days forbidden there was just not enough space. The skulls were removed along with other bones. The skulls were cleaned and exposed to the sun and moon light for weeks until they were bleached ivory white. As one would decorate a grave with flowers, the skulls were painted symbolically with a crown of flowers. This tradition began in 1720 AD. The last skull to go into the Beinhaus was in 1995. It is directly beside the cross. The woman died in 1983; it was her last request to be stored in the Beinhaus.

Fun fact: Chinese tourists took soo many photos of this beautiful village (and later came back to take measurements) to re-create this village in their country. Read more about this HERE!
