When in Rome....part 3.

First outfit of the day

Top- Gina Tricot

Shorts- MA*RS

Belt- MA*RS

Flip flops- From Thailand

Necklace- Mango

On our third day in Rome, we did bunch of tourist stuff. Our first stop was the Colosseum.

Pose like the caesar or sumthing. 

It was quite surreal to actually see the colosseum with my own eyes, it's even more impressive than in the pictures *--* 

We took some audio guided tour since it got us past the huge line. Normal ticket would have costed something like 5 e and with extra 7 e we could walk straight in. Great for inpatient people like me haha!

Skulls of some beasts that the gladiators fought with! :O

The obligatory ''lookie lookie it's me and the Colosseum''- pic. Apparently the kid on the right decided to strike a pose too.

Me, Santra and some old..thing outside the Colosseum.

After all this super tourist stuff we decided to check a shopping street we hadn't visited yet. The heat probably got me since I got really exhausted, dizzy and cranky.

Getting back to our hotel room had never felt so good. Resting, drinking fuckloads of cola and an air conditioner worked like magic.

Changed my outfit a bit before heading out again. Seems like my toes were the most interesting thing in the world.

Shorts- Yumetenbo

Shoes- Vivienne Westwood

Next stop was the Pantheon!

Just look at the size of that thing!

I have a feeling that this place was on Angels and Demons. Not sure though.

Even though we didn't do much anything after Pantheon, I must mention one thing. We found an umbrella store. With air-conditioned umbrellas. Genious or what?

Review series part.1 Geo Color nine Aqua blue

While ago Geocolouredlenses.com emailed me and asked me if I wanted to test out Geo's new Color nine- series. I accepted the kind offer and they sent me three pairs to try!

First pair I'm going to review is in Aqua blue- color. To be honest I've been bit hesitant about wearing blue lenses because I feel like the color doesn't suit me at all. I'm still not fan of the blue color but these are surprisingly ok! The color is really vivid and the lens covers the natural eye color really well.

Close- up of the design. The diameter is only 14.2 mm, so they look fairly natural and can be used with very minimal amount of make up too. Big lenses tend to look bit alienish without heavy make up but these are fine for those who seek bit more natural look.

Some more photos of me wearing them, taken at Fontana di trevi!

Shadows hit my face pretty badly but oh well. Didn't realize that at the time.

Ok this pic is irrelevant but I like it so I'll dump it here also.

Aqua blue- model is available in plano only. Click here to purchase!

When in Rome... day 2.

Look for the the second day!

Knit- Yumetenbo

Dress- Yumetenbo

After nomming some breakfast at the hotel ( Nutella croissants and cappuccino, noms!) we decided to head out really early to prevent heatstroke.

Our first stop was Fontana di Trevi , where we took some photos for the purposes you'll see later on!

Posing with my lovely companion purr ! The fountain was always crowded during the day but around 9 am you could actually take photos there.

Since it was early we continued to other usually crowded tourist attraction, Scalinata della Trinità die Monti (Spanish steps)

And since I can't pose seriously I had to fool around. I was quite afraid of slipping and falling into the fountain.

This super expensive shopping street was located right next to Piazza di Spagna.  Most of the stores had armed guards in black MIB suits at their doors. While exploring the street, my face looked pretty much like this '' *-----*'' , didn't dare to step into any store though. Just to make sure no one would accidentally think I have money to buy anything.

Rest of the day we spent shopping in places that were more wallet- friendly.

This Disney store was super cool, decoration was all ancient Rome- themed *---*

I found my inner Avenger.

Santra didn't let me buy Stich- coffee mug because she thought it was ugly, I'm forever hurt.

Headless man- woman in Via del Corso. She was in that exact same location every day from dawn until dusk.

Outfit change for dinner!

Top- Yumetenbo

Shorts- MA*RS

Belt- MA*RS

We had some insanely delicious pizza for dinner! The tomato sauce was made out of cherry tomatoes so it was bit more moist than usually and that was topped with mozzarella, parmesan flakes and rucola. Pizza is my weak point, good thing that pizzas in Italy aren't drowned in grease so they don't look so unhealthy haha. 

Apparently there's been some crap on my lens >B---(

After dinner we found some ruins with lots of cats ;_; We went to pet them each day during the rest of the trip, they were super cute and weren't afraid of us at all.

We gave some of them names! For example, a cat with only three legs became Tripod. It's quite heartwarming that some people care for these stray cats and provide health care and food to them!

This baby here is Tripod ♥♥ ;---;

When in Rome... day 1.

Long time no blogging!

Reason for my absence was my recent trip to Rome, I was going to blog on the airplane but surprise, our aircraft was one of the few Norwegian planes that was not yet equipped with wi-fi.

Traveling outfit!

Blouse- Puffy

Jeans- Skinny Lip

Knit- Yumetenbo

We left quite early in the morning and around 8 am we were already sitting in a plane and heading to Rome!  

As I told you guys before, I thought there would have been wi-fi in plane but there wasn't, boohoo. Had to keep myself entertained the old school way by reading magazines.

Arriving to Italy (I think) !

We stayed in fabulous Hotel Cosmopolita in Piazza Venezia, right in the center of Rome! Every major attraction was located within the walking distance from our hotel so we never had to use taxi.

Hotel was super nice *--*

We tried to take cool photos in front of our massive window but my complete lack of posing

skills & tiredness from waking up really early led to series of photos where fail miserably at trying to look like an octopus. 

Quick change for something more suitable for super hot climate (like +30 degrees....)

T-shirt - Skinny lip

Shorts- Yumetenbo

Sandals- from Thailand

We decided to wander around with no map and no plans so we'd get to know our closest surroundings a bit. That went well at first...

We went take a look at Altare della Patria, which was easy to find since it was located on the same piazza our hotel was. Statues on top of it worked as a great landmarks whenever we got lost haha.

Then we decided to walk around the smaller streets...after few moments we had absolutely no idea where we were. Our little adventure wasn't such a bad thing though, it led to finding many cool things..

...like my new friend Pinocchio..

... and this great gelateria called Blue ice.

I took Nutella flavored one and Santra had Kinder.  We were never able to find this exact same gelateria again ( apparently it's chain, we found it on many other places afterwards) even though we looked for three days. *sob*

When it started to get dark we ended up eating dinner at fancy wine bar right next to Pantheon.

Really, can you ask for nicer view straight from your dinner table ?

We ended our first night with Italian aperitif drink Spritz! In the bar we had it it was yummy so the next day we bought some bottled Spritz which was as delicious as sewer water.
