Sooner or later you’re going to be at the age where you don’t have the luxury of travelling wherever you want. Whether it be because you’re settling down and starting a family, or because you’re getting a bit too old and your body just isn’t cut out for proper holidays anymore. So whilst you still can, get out there and explore the world! Do all of the things you’ve never been able to do before, and probably won’t be able to do again. If you’re looking for some inspiration then check out the following destinations.

Thailand (Backpacking)

A huge craze at the minute with people of all ages in backpacking around Thailand, and for good reason. The opportunities you get will be like no other, and the islands are absolutely beautiful. Take Phuket for example. The beautiful white sand beaches are enough to draw anyone in. You can have the chance to go trekking through rainforests, and even making some friends with some rescued elephants. There’s tubing down a river which will make you feel as if you’re on a lazy river at a theme park, but 10 times better. If you’re going to Thailand you definitely need to go when a full moon party is in swing. They’re a party like no other, and memories will be made for life (if you don’t drink too much!).

Andorra

This is a firm favourite for people looking for a bit of adventure. If you’re heading the Andorra, you’re definitely heading there to hit the slopes. Andorra holidays are the perfect combination of adrenaline rushes and relaxed drinking and eating on the slopes. If you’re not going snowboarding or skiing, you’re missing out big time. As well as being an adrenaline packed holiday, Andorra is such a beautiful place to be in. There’s plenty to do in terms of history as well as hitting the slopes. Andorra is also a tax free area, so if you’re looking to do some big time shopping in a duty free area, this is your place. You’ll be shocked at what you can buy for so cheap.

Philippines

The Philippines isn’t that much of a popular destination, but there’s no reason at all why it shouldn’t be. It is full of beautiful beaches and rich culture. Again, if people head there they’re usually going for a backpacking experience. But some of the islands do make perfect couple or family destinations. It isn’t too far away from Thailand, so if you’re backpacking you should definitely hop on a short plane journey and visit, Cebu is a great part to visit. It is well established enough to have some great hotels, and the beaches are absolutely incredible. If you do go, you should definitely try out the scuba diving experience they have in the crystal blue waters. Manila is the capital and is rather popular with tourists. It is a really built up area and offers plenty of things to do in terms of tourism. There’s a marine wildlife park and a Philippines national history museum if you’re interested in the tourism side of things. No matter which part you’re heading to, you’re going to be having a great time.

I've been drooling over this bag for weeks, and even if it's freakin expensive, I mean would you splurge a thousand pounds for a bag? Of course the answer depends.As I said, the accessories are the ones that matter the most and I would spend more on them than on clothes. But in this case, better invest in a timeless jumbo Chanel classic, which costs almost as this Gucci Marmont bag, a vintage one from Vestiaire Collective But then again, I get bored easily from wearing just one bag.So, the final question is: Buy an original good bag or two-three replicas? From the other side, is kinda ridiculous to pay a lot for a very old,scratched bag - like the Chanel ones I've seen on ebay.

Now this is what I call a dilema...

But I'm falling more and more for this Gucci Marmont Bag, which is the epitome of perfection and beauty.The classic one made of black leather is ideal for every day, which one is your favourite?

Love,

If you follow the current trends, you probably now that the checked blazer is officially number one trend of this fall.It is a must and it goes with everything, starting from a simple pair of leggings and ending with midi skirts and jumpers.I'll show you more ways to wear this gorgeous piece.Never tho, I would spend 39 pounds for a single piece of clothing because usually I tend to invest into accessories.But it worths, believe me! This could be easilly called a "back to school" look but it's a bit late for this, so it's my favourite outfit for work.Simply, chic, and very comfy due to these great glittery mules and leggings.

Have a fabulous friday!

Love, Victoria

You remember Lana Del Rey's track: Blue Velvet? Well, my eyes are blue but not as blue as this gorgeous dress (that's what Lana is singing, in case you don't know the track), which is wonderful as you can see.It's so dreamy with a touch of lace, maybe it's not your typical city dress but makes me feel pretty and dance and round on the streets...the type of dress you'd wear in Paris on a boat while navigating Sena river or walking on the streets of Venice with a gelato, while watching the sunset.Yes. it's the dress that puts me in such a romantic and dreamy mood...I wore this dress on my birthday and yeah, received a loot of time ago.

Don't judge very harsh, first attempt of self portrait, no phtographer, just me, my camera and a tripod.

Have a lovely week!

Shop my look:

I finally found some motivation/inspiration to write a blog post after more than two months.It was just a lack of desire to continue with this blog. I wanted for so many times to organise myself and start posting regularly, as this was my main hobby/happiness (if not the only) since 2012. And it would be really a pity to give up to what makes me happy, moreover when I invested almost all my time in editing pictures, writing posts and shooting outfits for more than FOUR years, just unbelievable.

In August I went home for two weeks, had fun for the first time at Ministry of Sound (you know how obsessed I am with electronic music) also been to a great fest called South West Four, yes, again music.

So, this outfit was basically my summer uniform because even in the summertime, London is not the hottest place to be.The newest addition is this gorgeous bag, funny, colourful and a very popular kinda rafia moroccan thing.I got it from Asos, a super duper bargain.The location is the gorgeous Holland Park, which is a great place for a walk and of course taking some pictures.

Tonight I'm going to South Kensington for a spa session, can not wait!

Happy Friday! x

Bag - Asos

Hello my fellow readers. After several months I'm back with a new outfit, this gingham dress is a total copy of a mini skirt my mum had in the youth years. Everything new is the forgotten old, especially now. So in love with my newest bag from Asos, really cool to see more and more this type of bags, easy and natural, perfect for summer because leather and other artificial materials are so "out" in the summertime. I mean this bag screams itself summer, sand, sea and beach of course.And I like that you can wear them not only in your vacation by the sea. 

Speaking about vacation, this week I'm FINALLY heading home after one year in London, quite unbelievable. Then one week somwhere else, away from stress, big city and work. So pretty exciting times ahead...someone told me that I start to sound like a Londoner, well living here for almost one year made me to be a bit like them I guess.

Hope you're enjoying this summer so far, take care and speak to you soon! xx

Probably one of the coolest trends of this season are metallics, especially I'm into silver since I remember myself,as a matter of fact the only jewelry I wear all the time is a silver ring - I think from 14 years or something like this.But yea, here the main spot is gold because that's the eyecatcher of this outfit.It's casual,a bit sporty with a touch of 90's - the fishnets again of course.These cool trainers I'm wearing for the first time, even if ordered them since last November.

I had such a big emotional storm lately and wasn't the best period of my life but there is one good thing out of sadness, I got inspired and started to write again lyrics, which I didn't for ages.Nothing helps more like transforming the pain into art, because it's natural and made out of real feelings.I'm not talking generally about this side of my life but sometimes it's such a relief.Maybe someday I'll publish them here...till then hope you'll have a sunny Wednesday! Hugs, V xx

Recently I've really been struggling with the number one problem of each blogger - a good photographer.Since I moved in London,I was quite absent here, and this is the main reason.It's not a secret that back in my country, my photographer was my precious mum, and she did a really good job.But being in this capital, made me want to improve my photography and I was delighted to discover Bidvine - a website that connects you with interested local professionals in your area.Basically, all you have to do is to answer to a few specific questions related to your needs, then they send your request to local professionals and expect within hours the first bid.It just depends how many details you gave and the nature of your request.Once their job it's done you can review them,as it will be helpful for other people in the future,using this service.Because if you choose one of these prof it does not mean automatically that they were recommended by Bidvine team.For me is really important the portrait photography which is the closest type of photography to my blog.It's really amazing because you don't have to search for hours, you choose the one that fits you the best.And there are such good options like family, maternity, solo portrait,couple or group portrait, graduation portrait, modeling headshots.Also you may choose the style of your photography like black and white, traditional, candid, artistic, natural, high fashion.I would love to experiment with different kinds of styles and see the results as the option are endlessly.Just imagine family photography with newborns and their pets or monochromatic couple photoshootings.Another plus is that you can hire a photographer in your area by entering the post code.Forgot to mention, this service is only for UK residents.So, would you give Bidvine a try?

Spring has sprung here, warm and just the perfect weather to wear the belovely pair of fishnets together with this pastel skirt, which is my latest obsession.Its soft and comfy material is like the touch of a cozy fur.This pair of heels I ordered from Asos more than a year ago and can't believe that only now took them for a walk, on the white streets of South Kensington - the must spot of a photoshooting, and speaking about the location, this one I had in my mind for ages but only now was the time.I started to colaborate with a very good photographer and I am really pleased with the result.

So through this post,wanted to say, thank you very much Martyn! Believe me, it's very hard to find a good one in London.Really hope that starting from this point, I will bring this blog back to life again.I have so many ideas and upcoming collabs, which I can not wait to share with you!

Back to this outfit, some months ago I really hated this thing with fishnets and was like "I will never them" because of the hype, but never say never.I changed my mind and wear try to incorporate them in my outfits as often as I can.What do you think about them?
