Reasons to love Zurich

As you might know I moved to Zürich for 3 months AT LEAST, that’s why I included on my Instagram profile ‘New in Zurich’.

Long story short WHY

The power of love dragged me here
I am seeking job opportunities or planning to apply for a Master, so we can get rid of this LDR (~3 years was enough). If the one who is reading this is looking for an employee, I am THE ONE!
When you graduate in Denmark, the government is providing the graduates with unemployment benefits for maximum 2 years, when looking for a job in Denmark or maximum 3 months in other European country, so I took this chance.
I wanted to experience life in a bigger city, including higher fees along with a more exciting lifestyle

I don’t see what there is not to love about this city, especially when you are ‘ New in Zürich’ so I will specify few reasons to love this Zurich:
1. One of the most international city. The largest group of foreigners is from Germany ( 82 5467) , followed by Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Turkey, Kosovo, Austria and Spain (11 457).

2. It is the biggest city in Switzerland, though not too big but the right walking-distance city.

3. Many events. There is always something happening. Rare is the weekend without a festival, event or local holiday.

4. Public transportation is well organised. It’s mind blowing in a good way to get around the city as the busses and trams have their own line.

5. The cars are WOW. If you are a fan, just follow them on Instagram.

7. Cultural Highlights. Whether the National Museum, Kunsthaus Zürich, Cabaret Voltaire or the famous Zurich Opera House, or many exhibitions the city on the Limmat offers first-class cultural events.

8. You are surrounded by water. During the nicest season of visiting Zurich, the lake transfers to a melting pot of all social and sportive activities.

My daily looks

How to wear an oversized jacket

How to master the oversized trend ?

I know guys don’t even want to hear about it and would prefer to see you in super slim clothes, rather than loose ones, but you gotta follow the new rules in fashion. The secret is to mix them with feminine pieces.

l love the playful and sexy touch of the A-shape khaki skirt from here , but I wanted to calm it down somehow. It’s chic and elegant, yet has a ‘street’ quality too so I thought it would look great with an oversized denim jacket with tribal embroidery from here. Whether your vibe is more safari chic, minimal or utility, there is something for everyone.

Mixing the jacket with fine textures, like a velvet or silk dress and statement jewellery changes the look of the jacket into a more precious one. The sweater from here in a yellow cheery shade together with my comfy over knee boots from here sweetens the whole outfit for a sunny day of spring. Also, the Rose Quartz bag from here brings additional chicness.

VIA Design Show

On 24th of January I attended the first fashion show since I have been in Denmark.

Up until now, I didn’t experienced how is it to be a guest instead of a stressed model walking on a runway. 18 new designers from VIA showed their graduation projects with futuristic departure collections at Aarhus City Hall. The topic was “Rethink Fashion” and they respected it by being innovative, brave and hardworking, in order to create unique and focused collections.VIA show displayed courageously the potential that is necessary to revive the global fashion industry.

The young fashion designers are from Poland, Romania, Hungary, Netherlands, Denmark, etc.

men denim look, fashion designer denmark

Tiia Maria Jaakkola: ‘RUNNELLA celebrates different ways of reusing the post-consumer denim waste and every single piece in the collection is original.’

via design fashion show, new fashion designers

Mathilde Klindt: ‘This collection was inspired by strong and powerful women who won’t let a masculine world dictate how feminine and sexy they should or shouldn’t dress. ‘

Aleksandra Pisiewicz: ‘The winter/autumn 2017/2018 collection „Spray cats” focuses on street art, underground culture, graffiti and uniqueness. The streetwear forms, strong colours and blurred, destroyed materials create an atmosphere of an alternative world of rebellious young people.’

Dániel Rózsahegyi : ‘Capturing the spirit of the modern youth using a nostalgic perspective, it places modern youth it in a childish yet brutal universe that contrasts sporty looks with feminine details. This rebellious streetwear collection aims to recreate a bad boy appearance in a graphic and unique way. ‘

Pavel Vlodarski: ‘Tactility and bizarre combinations of fabrics are the key elements in my collection. The collection displays a large variety of textures and finishes such as towel, faux fur, neoprene and custom-knitted jacquard. Perforated leather, raincoat material and neoprene are hand-embroidered to give the impression of homemade craft. Some fabrics are bonded to create stiff and interesting holds. Nylon is for example glued to wool. ‘

Riëlle Magnée: ‘We learn that young and old should behave and dress in certain ways. Inspired by people like Iris Apfel and Iggy Pop, I started wondering what would happen if these boundaries became irrelevant and did not exist.’

fashion danish trends 2017, rethink fashion denmark

Diana Arce: ‘This collection is filled with feminine silhouettes celebrating the woman body. Flirty ruffles and revealing sheer fabrics contrasted with strong leather pieces. Lingerie mixed with pieces revealing the under layers meant to show evocative parts of the body. ‘

Darline Monique Hooze: ‘OFF-BEAT is inspired by two contrasts of the 1990s; the dominant youth culture and fashion trends of Europe and the former Soviet Union where youth culture back then had nothing to say. ‘

rethink fashion, new danish fashion designers

Aleksandra Lad: ‘A permanent part of my DNA and the strongest influence on my designs are the 80s. The look of bands and the nostalgic atmosphere of music, fashion, everyday life and design in general are my main sources of inspiration in this decade. I am continuously fascinated by the contrast between the colorful kith style of the 80s and the more underground look. ‘

Thristy for traveling

Discover Palma capital

The capital of Palma de Mallorca is the largest city of the Balearic Island and it attracts millions of tourists, mainly from UK (Magaluf) and Germany (S’Arenal). The south part is more commercial with lively nightlife, while the north one brings picturesque landscapes. Even if you prefer the north part, it is a must to discover Palma capital, as the island is relatively small.

From Can Pastilla to Palma you can either go by bus for 1,50 euro, 50 minutes or take a cab like we firstly did, but paying 20 times more and yeah, lasting 15 minutes. The capital has everything from many old narrow streets winding towards Bellver Castle (14th century) and Royal Palace of La Almudaina to the fancy street Passeig des Born (very similar to Las Ramblas in Barcelona) which is now known as the Golden Mile hosting shops such as: Louis Vuitton, Mulbery, Hugo Boss, etc. The most famous landmark of the city today is one of one of Europe’s tallest Gothic structure the Cathedral La Seu, located to one side of the harbour and overlooks the seaside promenade.

Palma has the benefits of both a cosmopolitan city and an amazing seafront location, with a wide choice of fine property types and prices.

Summer in late October

Turkey, Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Greece, Tunisia and Spain are the European countries with a perfect beach climate even in October. This time, we risked and chose Palma de Mallorca in the wettest month- October as we were dreaming for a long time to visit the Balearic Island. Palma de Mallorca is the largest island in Spain and it’s full of…PALMS!

As I am unemployed, everyday feels like holiday to me (a more stressful one,though) but my boyfriend and I needed to break the distance for a while and relax in a warm place. Summer never dies, as long as you have money and the willingness to travel. We got used to book our holidays on off season as there are numerous advantages:

-lower prices: You are able to enjoy super fine hotels and save between 30-40% on your accommodation costs. For example, we chose Java Hotel where we paid 102 euros/ night for half board instead of 150 euros during on season. Everything met and exceeded our expectations there: friendly staff, delicious & various food,perfect location, modern furniture. The hotel is situated close by a wide promenade of 10 km to the resort of Arenal in the east. If you don’t fancy to walk between the 2 resorts, there’s a popular mini train which runs along the promenade.

-fewer crowds

-pleasant weather

– local tourist industry still ready to please and entertain.

Along with few disadvantages :

-seniors everywhere

-few places closed

-uncertain weather

Anyway, stay tuned to discover more of the island in the next posts!

what to wear at school, gossip girl inspired look

My daily looks

Too cool for school

Perhaps you were missing or maybe not this kind of posts about daily looks. I don’t see the point of preparing so much only to take photos unless I have to attend an event or something. I created a Gossip Girl inspired look, without even realising that. The only detail I am missing is a headband like the ones Blair Waldorf was wearing and colourful tights. Oh, by the way don’t you miss that period when you were addicted to this teen drama TV series and you were trying to copy their lifestyle? We were so naive back then!

As you know, the fall 2016 means velvet, metallic colours, bomber jackets, turtle necks, statement sleeves, restructured denim, etc. Pinterest is the right source for more inspiration.

Nevertheless, fall equals layering and playing with lengths. If you are in a skirt/dress mood, but you still want to keep it casual and sweet try mixing a pleated mini skirt with a sweatshirt with a cool message. However, I would love to have the chance of showing off this gritty chic jumper ‘ TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL’ and be judged by strict teachers from high school. Heels would be too much, so oxford shoes with platform are the right choice for a preppy vibe. Sweeten the style by adding shiny socks, a striped shirt and whether you need them or not, a pair of stylishly nerdy frames is a fun accessory to take a chance on. The backpack and the oversized blazer are school essentials even grown–ups can use in a stylish way.

interlaken, best places to visit in switzerland

Thristy for traveling

The Swiss escape

The Swiss escape or… the sweet escape

The true beauty of Switzerland stands in its nature, but also delicious chocolate, high quality watches and banks.

However, there are so many incredible places to go in Switzerland, but my boyfriend and I selected only 2:Interlaken and Mount Pilatus, because were the closest ones.

Mount Pilatus The views are spectacular because the mount towers above the region with its 2,132 meters in height and it gives and is a mountain overlooking Lucerne. Unfortunately, we didn’t make our homework and manage to get up there. We stopped on the halfway at Krienseregg and the trip costed 10 CHF per person.

Interlaken is one of the most popular towns for adventurous, hikers and energy hunters. It is located at the base of the great ALPS and surrounded by mesmerising blue lakes, but… EXPENSIVE. I don’t know why I am still surprised of this aspect. There are 120 km from Zurich and it’s easily accessible by bus,train or car, but expect traffic jam if you are travelling on weekends. The trip until you get there is also very ‘tasty’, because The Brienz Lake accompanies you on the way.

We have many other places on the list such as: Rhine Falls, Kandersteg, Grimselpass, Grindelwald, but also the French part: Vallais, Lavaux, etc.

Anyway, for a better travel guide in Switzerland you must follow switzerland.vacations on Instagram.

Yes, the colour of the lake is REAL!!!

Noutatile Hotelului Dumbrava

Tu de cate ori ai fost la Dumbrava?

Si nu, nu ma refer la nunti de poveste, botezuri colorate sau majorate rebele ci, doar sa-ti oferi clipe de relaxare, uitand de zgomotul orasului. Toate astea au loc chiar in buricul targului, pe terasa Hotelului Dumbrava, unde poti incerca preparate delicioase intr-o atmosfera de poveste, ca in ‘Dumbrava minunata’. Am mai avut ocazia sa merg in acest loc, dar evenimentul relansarii terasei Hotelului Dumbrava, precum si sarbatorirea celor 15 ani a fost unul deosebit.

La aniversarea celor 15 ani de Dumbrava, Managerul Hotelului Dumbrava- Dl. Silviu Nedelcu a dezvaluit bacauanilor noutatile Hotelului Dumbrava pentru a oferi o experienta de neuitat clientilor:

Terasa extinsa- s-a cumparat si casa de langa hotel
Parcare subterana
Rooftop Pool
Zona Spa
Sala noua de evenimente
+43 camere noi

Eu una de-abia astept sa se puna in aplicare planul si sa-l testez pe pielea mea. Serviciile de inalta calitate vor atrage bacauani, precum si cei de imprejur, care aveau nevoie de asa ceva.

In timp ce descopeream pasiunile bloggeritelor Nicola Anisca , Deea Hutu , Evelinne , Irina Bacaoanu, gustam din preparatele Chef-ului Marian Bratu: purcelus la protap, creveti, piept de rata si multe alte sortimente de carne pentru a fi pe gustul tuturor. Suna bine,nu? Nici nu stiu cum sa mai descriu diversele deserturi sau prezenta cramelor NoMiBo, Recas, Oprisor, Tohani, Averesti, Vincon, Dealu Mare Urlati, etc. Si acum ma gandesc la paharul de rose din piersicuta de la Cramele Recas recomandat de Somelierul Cristian Bunea.

what to do in zurich, visit zurich blog, lifestyle blogger,glamthug blog

Photography, Thristy for traveling

One of the most expensive cities

The top spot is taken by Singapore followed by Zurich and Hong Kong.

To begin with, let me get this straight: Zurich IS NOT the capital of Switzerland, BUT it’s the largest city in Switzerland ,and obviously, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Zurich is a great city either to visit either to earn pretty good money and then run far away from it or even Switzerland.

Anyway, I was impressed by the shops, streets,trams, CARS, boutiques, chocolate, watches and every Swiss touch you can think of is sophisticated and well-designed. The town itself is very accessible and you can easily walk everywhere.Despite of what others say about Swiss people, I found them friendly and willing to help. I expected that Swiss will look in a certain way, like Danes- tall, blonde with blue eyes, but surprisingly they are very diverse: from Asian to Germany roots.

TIPS:

If you are travelling on a low budget in Switzerland and you’re clueless about where to eat, I will strongly recommend you to try Migros or Coop restaurants. However, with the money spent there you could spoil yourself with a à la carte restaurant in Spain, for ex. Read more

Copenhagen girls

Every time I spell the word ‘ Copenhagen’ I think about a famous Danish song -Copenhagen girls by Christopher. Listen it here because it’s really catchy. However, I know you expected to see photos of beautiful Danish girls, but no it will be only with me and my cousin. We finally met after 2 years of not seeing each other in beautiful vibrant Copenhagen.

I fall in love more and more every time I go to Copenhagen. There’s something that attracts me like a magnet. Mostly the beautiful people, events, good weather-sometimes, shops, pubs, men are part of this spell. Otherwise, just think about specific places such as: colourful Nyhavn, crowded Strøget, Christiania, Amalienborg Palace with the park, Royal Library Garden, Islands Brygge, etc. Another place which I recently discovered and fell in love with is Papirøen , the city’s first and only genuine street food market. You must go there and elso enjoy having brunch somewhere. Outdoor life is everything in Copenhagen, especially on sunny days.

The easiest way to get around is by bike, as there are over 390 kilometres of designated bike lanes. In this way you will experience the city as a local. The capital is world famous for its biking culture and for two years running, Copenhagen has been voted the best cycle city in the World by US sustainability experts Treehugger.

The color run

Zulu The Color Run was a blast as I expected. My favourite part was the party at the finish line with cool music and people. I cannot wait until The Color Run comes back and hopefully my friends will join. Unfortunately, I went there alone, but I met a cute Chinese girl.

The tour was even better than last year due to the better location, organisation and different activities.

For example, all participants were taken by surprise with the Photo Booth where they could take pretty cool photos, body painting, Nestea bottles bathtubs and the list can go on. Additionally, the day after the event I received an email from Zulu The Color Run asking to introduce my running number, in order to check photos of me while running. I said: ‘WOW, this technology’! and then the photos appeared.

That being said, København er du klar? On 12th of June The Color Run is coming to Copenhagen!
