Back from LA!

I'm back from the most amazing two week holiday in sunny Los Angeles, California! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. I've fallen head over heels in love with this wonderful city and my heart aches to go back and enjoy the sunshine, fluffy palm trees and have fun with all the amazing people there. I've had a blast and shopped so hard I could barely get my suitcases on the plane. I have so much to share and tons of pictures just waiting to be uploaded. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do it this weekend as I can hardly wait to show you all the different things I've seen and experienced. Yay LA!

California Love

My fiancé and I are trying to agree on where to go on vacation this summer. I want to express to him that there's one place I'm really hoping for, so I've made him a Mixtape! What better way to drop off hints and at the same time get a little creative? So here it is, my please-take-me-where-wanna-go-mixtape:

   

Back from Berlin

I just got back from a mini vacation in Berlin with my fiance to celebrate my birthday. Yes, I'm now 27 years old, the oldest I've ever been haha. My mom says that when she was my age she was only 25. She's very silly! Anyway, my fiance took me there so I'd have a special day and experience something new as none of us had been there before. I must say that I was positively surprised at how great Berlin really is. I was expecting greyish buildings and graffiti everywhere. There was a lot of graffiti but it was the nice artistic kind that I love. I had an amazing four days there and I can't wait to write more about it soon.

My fiance gave me this cute ornament for my Christmas Tree. I love getting tree ornaments from all around the world.

I'm longing for my one true love!

Hopefully I'll see you soon my pretty!

Photo Diary: The Strip - Las Vegas

This post is loaded with pictures from our 2010 Summer Las Vegas trip, and it's only our second day there. We saw so many wonderful things that I couldn't stop myself from taking hundreds of photos to share with you all.

Photo Diary: Summer in Las Vegas

My fiance and I went to Las Vegas in August and I simply have to share this extrodinary experience here. We'd never been there before so it was new to the both of us, and we found it to be so much different from any place we've ever been. We stayed at the wonderful MGM Grand where we shared a gorgeous Bungalo Suite. We had a spectacular view and our bed was huge and very comfy. Paradise City was everything I was hoping it to be. As a graphic designer I found myself drooling over all the huge neon typographic wonders everywhere, as well as the general visual experience of walking down the strip, looking at the mountains in the horizon, and being blinded by all the glitz and glam the city had to offer. Everything was very exciting and there were so many things to do. The most special experience for me was the desert and the Grand Canyon. I'd never been in a desert before and it was breathtakingly beautiful. I especially loved the Joshua Trees along the road and the wild cattle resting beneath them. I'd definitely recommend Las Vegas to anyone who wants a fun and diverse vacation. And there's lots more to do there than gamble, though we did try a lot of fun slot machines as well as a couple of rounds of poker. Here is some of the visual eye candy I captured on our first day there:
