Tales of a decadent garden
October 31, 2011





That's why autumn is my fav season!



Alice in Wonderland like.




my favorite lady





by the time he will be 26, I'll be 46...hope is all I have left...until then, I'm his adopted, Cruella aunt.









If you somehow clicked and arrived on this blog more than twice you are already familiar with the fact that my absolute lifestyle highlight is not some fancy hotel or bistro, nor some concept store situated on some fashionable street but a gothic like, deserted garden. And if that garden is situated near a castle it generates the same "wow"  for me as a Mary Katrantzou dress does for Anna Dello Russo.

If on top of that you add the sea in autumn then all I can say is fuck fashion! (again). The UGG's from the pics help me sustain that.*

 I'll always be the girl now converted into a woman who loves a good fairytale. Even if my fairy tales include decadent countesses and deserted ball rooms instead of  pink outfits and white horses.

I never experienced that level of silence like I did in Balchik this past weekend. It was my first weekend in ten months when I finally had the time was forced to completely shut down any form of communication (I facebooked a little from the attic).

I always told Delia that the smartest investment she could have possibly make was buying an apartment there.
It's the perfect place where you can let go of your constant need of validation (please do not bore me and yourself, saying that you don't have it). It's just quiet a place, without fancy clubs and high conceptual restaurants and cafes, also without that lack of manners and hypocrisy that surrounds us at every step in the city.

I'm not gonna start telling how extremely overwhelming were Queen's Mary's gardens or how much common sense and lady likeness those places inspired me. I'll let you discover that by yourself. Just take two days off and go. I promise you that Zara and Net a Porter won't go anywhere! ok, ok, I'll stop  posing in some anti consumerism nun.




*remind me to tell you what I think about this one day!

VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI cat de frumos e locul ;x Am ratat eu randul sau nu ai mentionat unde e ?

Si imi place foarte mult cum te-ai jucat cu dungile in prima tinuta. Fuck fashion & UGGs sunt cele mai confortabile incaltaminte care exista si vor exista :)

I was sure it was Balcic from the moment I saw the gardens. It's for sure a magical place. I am reading -Ultima Romantica - Regina Maria a Romaniei and this fairytail place is so beautiful described . Congrats for Snobbish Breakfast collection. I am following you since last winter -as I recall- and I found you adorable.
P.S. I want to buy a dress but it's very hard to choose.
