SWEET THINGS.

This is the cutest song ever and the most perfect fashion video I have seen lately. Love every single detail of it.
Aren't these the cutest things a girl would dream about?
Enjoy the video Kinga Burza made for Kate Spade NY.

No outfit photo today, sorry, les filles, it's been an awfully busy day. I've been wearing something really cute, I will make sure I share it later:).

xoxo and have a lovely evening,

DOG FRIENDLY PLACES.

Yesterday a new place was added to my list of dog friendly restos and cafes in Budapest. It's the newly opened bar/cafe/club called GMK in Gozsdu udvar. The place is not only perfect for an after-work drink and gossip exchange but also ideal if you have a 4-leg companion with you.
Yesterday night Lulu was just shameless, she felt a bit clingy so she ended up sitting on one of the chairs, resting her head on the table. In less then one hour almost half of the clientele stopped by to pet her!!! I wouldn't say she did not enjoy it!

Besides this place here is a short list of places we usually go to if we have Lulu with us:

RESTOS
Iguana
Cafe Kör
Menza
El rapido
Okay Italia
Ötkert
Cafe Vian
Hummus bar

CAFES/BARS
Castro
GMK
Hivatal
Telep
Bar Ladino
Kadarka Wine Bar
Csendes

Any tips for other dog friendly places in Budapest?

CUTENESS OVERDOSE.

mes belles, I couldn’t resist to share this photo, it’s just too cute, really. Take a pug, preferably Lulu, combine her with the cutest baby born this fall, his majesty, Beni, the second prince to our girlcrew, and tadaaam, you get the too cute to be true photo as a result.
This was the first time Lulu saw a baby and she was convinced that we brought her home a new buddy, it was not easy to stop her from jumping on Beni and licking his face all over.
They’ll be nice mates in a few months!
Gotta sleep now, too much work these days, mes belles. My face is like a wirn out tee, crave my beautysleep.
nightnight and xoxo,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LULU!

Mes belles, today is a very important day because it was the 4th November when the sweetest creature on Earth, the cutest pug in town, Lulu was born.
Lulu is 2 today and she is a true blessing, completely changed our lives and she is a true member of our family.
I remember how I’ve been begging David for a dog for ages and every time I opened a birthday or Christmas present I cannot say I was not a little bit always disappointed that it was not a dog. Then we had this serious, adult-like conversation and David said I could have a dog if it was MY dog and MY responsibility. It’s a long-term decision. I knew it was true. Having a dog is not only costly but requires true dedication, cosistence and time. They say having a dog is only for those that cannot be talked out of it.
When we finally agreed on all the conditions of keeping a dog I already knew that I wanted a pug. It’s the cutest breed on Earth and it’s not only suitable for those living in the city and not having a garden (sleeping 14 hours a day) but it’s also the most sociable creature, getting on so well with children and other animals. I’m not saying that proper training is not needed but today Lulu is dog we can take to restaurant or basically anywhere knowing that she’ll be fine and everyone will just love her.
Here are the cutest photos of her childhood, mes belles.
Happy birthday big girl, it’s your day!

BLUE COLLAR WORKER.

oh, and I couldn’t resist to share this photo, that’s Lulu in her new blue collar. Isn’t she the prettiest?

SUNDAY.

Hello mes belles, yesterday I have spent the most relaxing and tranquille Sunday afternoon at home, it was a typical October lazing afternoon, gloomy and grey weather outside, warm and lovely atmosphere inside.

I couldn’t rest though (the usual thing) I had this urge to make an apple pie. This was an American pie recipe, it’s so easy and rewarding, especially if you have some unattended guests popping in.

Lulu was the greatest sous-chef ever, snoring heavily on the couch.

I have some new vintage items arriving today, I’ll make sure to keep you posted!

Have a great week, mes belles, with less rain and grey clouds. I cannot beleive it’s actually already dark and it’s just 4:30 pm.
