I'm happy that Kyoto granted us some warm days! I got to wear my super comfy Silk Mini V-Neck Slip Dress by Grana (in Stone blue). My favorite part about this dress (and their camisole tops as well) is the deep V back that gives the dress such a chic vibe <3

The weather in Tokyo has been colder than expected. For two weeks we did not see any cherry blossoms due to the unusually cold weather. But this week (finally) the sakura is facially making an appearance and yes it's as magical as advertised.
This picture was taken at Sumida Park in Tokyo. It's one of the more local places to enjoy the cherry blossoms and I can't recommend it enough. Sakura season attracts HUGE crowds so if you are looking for a peaceful stroll amongst beautifully blossomed trees head to Sumida Park in early morning and you won't be disappointed.

Function of Beauty makes personalized shampoos and conditioners and delivers them to you in beautiful packaging!
This past Valentine’s day I filed for gift-idea-bankruptcy. I wanted to get Henry something cool, personalized and casual but couldn’t come up with ANYTHING so I decided no gifts this year (boo!). And as it usually happens the moment I stopped looking was the moment I found the perfect present!
Function of beauty let’s you create you own personalized shampoo that is tailored to whatever hair needs you want and it comes in a cute bottle that has your name written on it! Isn’t that a perfect gift? I think it is! I love how universal it can be while it’s still personal ❤️ Of course I got one for Henry and one for myself!
Vyshyvanka is a traditional Ukrainian blouse rich in beautiful handmade embroidery. I've been on the look for an affordable piece that carries the Ukrainian spirit for awhile with no luck. As time went by I kept on remembering the look of the blouse and kept on thinking how well would the boho vibe of vyshyvanka translate in California.
Today I'm happy to announce that my patience paid off! As it usually happens I was looking for something completely different when I spotted the perfect Ukrainian inspired tunic. It was love at first sight and by getting a tunic I scored 2 in 1 - it can be worn as a top or as a dress! How cool is that?

New Delhi has so many Instagram worthy spots. You can stay in the city for few months and not visit the same place twice. Many tourists only spend 3 to 4 days in Delhi in a rush to leave for Taj Mahal. This means that if you are willing to add few more days to your itinerary you can visit some tourist-free hidden gems.
Here are my top Instagram-worthy off the beaten path spots in New Delhi. Clean some space on your phone/camera because you'll be snapping a lot of photos!
I call this tomb Humayun's tomb little cousin. The place is not on the itinerary of most people who are doing Delhi for less than 3 days. It's usually very peaceful and you won't have to navigate around large crowds of visitors to get that perfect shot. Highly recommended.
Get your fix of Delhi madness! If you think traffic in your city is bad try going to Old Delhi! One of the best rooftop views of the spice market are tucked in right in the heart of the action.
Bonus: You can buy a big bundle of Marigold flowers to add color to your photo right outside of the rooftop's entry. Price would be $3-$5
This boutique stay is a must visit. It's located on one of the narrowest streets you'll ever walk on. The hotel charges you something like 300 rupees entry fee and the price is well worth it. You can easily spend few hours shooting the beautiful pink interior. Be respectful and quiet, the structure of the place is such that sound travels easily and you don't want to ruin the guest's experience.
Bonus: the place has a cute restaurant so you can treat yourself to lunch or tea.
Tip: You can combine this place with a visit to the Spice Market, they are in the same area
This place consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments. If you are a fan of architecture and minimalism this place is for you! A red and yellow colored gorgeous backdrop for some really #MinimalistCandy photos. It's usually not crowded and more popular with locals. We love places like that don't we?

When you travel a lot there is a certain magic to the moments you actually spend at home. As I grow older I care more and more about having a special place to come back to. A place where I can unpack and relax (a place also known as my shoe collection residence).
Today is a work from home day. I'm extra happy not to have to leave my apartment because it's really grey and rainy outside. It also means I'll be spending the day in my silk jammies by GRANA.
This two piece silk pajamas has turned into my favorite home uniform and btw thanks to the latest fashion trends I can easily wear it outside too (just add heels and a fancy clutch bag). The fit of the set is relaxed and the material feels like hugs - LOVE! Grana silk pj’s would make of an awesome Valentine's day gift! Treat yourself 😜

Silk V neck cami by GranaSilk ankle pants by Grana Shoes are a market find, traditional to some region of India
After experimenting with head to toe pink look I decided to give head to toe blue look a try.
Wearing monochromatic outfits is super simple and looks really chic. Getting dressed in the morning is exponentially quicker and you can rest assured that your clothes match perfectly:) You can also be more adventurous with trendier accessories. Today I'm drawing attention to an awesome pom pom bag I bought from a small artist in Taipei, Taiwan.
