Hi loves,

Vogue might say it’s the September issue, but it was just for the pictures I have prepared for you a super coll wishlist with summer essentials, especially if you’re planning a cool holiday, no matter the destination.

As you might already know, I am planning a trip to Greece and I just want to cutest and comfiest but mostly the most instagramable outfits! You know me! Everything that I buy should look nice in the pictures ♥ Regardless my reasons for buying items, my suggestions are also timeless. These pieces are not the kind that you’ll have to change by the season.

So without further ado, I just hope you’ll enjoy and get inspired with this post. I have prepared a small selection of dresses, accessories, swimsuits, shoes, bags and believe me, you can find some more items but you’ll have to take your time and browse the website because there are some gorgeous things that will make you want to buy them all!

Wish you all a new wonderful week.

Kisses, M ♥

First things first! I LIKE SHOES, LET’S GET SOME SHOES You might know the lyrics from tiktok and I admit, I feel the song deep in my bones. Here you have 6 options but well, it was really hard do decide on them.

5. Loeffler Randall Wrap Sandals 6. Paloma Barcelo Sandals

You can’t go through summer without some super cool, sexy and colorful swimsuits. Who is with me? I lost track of their number, but maybe this passion is due to the fact that I was a professional swimmer for 12 years. I know, everything comes with an excuse when I do compulsive shopping but you’ll understand my reasoning once you’ll see them ♥ I am really curious to know how do you like them to be: one piece, two pieces, high waist, low waist, cut out? You name it, Shopbop has it ♥

What about some summer dresses? I have to admit, I love to wear dresses during the summer, to wear colors and to feel free and comfortable. It can be a party dress or a casual one, made out of silk, denim or cotton, it actually doesn’t matter because it will leave a feminine touch regardless your pick ♥

1. Charina Sarte blue Dress 2. Rhode Pink Dress 3. English Factory Ruffle Dress

Yellow Mania:

1. Stine Goya Jasmine Dress 2. Suboo Baloon Sleeve Dress 3. Sea Sleeve Ruffles Dress

When it comes to accessories, I simply cannot leave the house without my bag, this is a total MUST, a hat, during the summer is indeed essential and of course, some jewelries that can bring a lovely touch to your entire outfit. Did I ever mentioned that I have more than 30 hats? :)) I am not talking about bags and jewelries today. This is a story for another day ♥

Hard Rock Hotel Bali

Hi loves,

Today I want to turn back to the holiday we had in Bali and share some new details with you from the time we spent there. I was a bit busy and didn’t quite manage to deal with all the things after our return as planed, but I think that is never too late to share great memories with you that can also inspire you for the next trip you might plan.

While we were in Bali, in Seminyak to be more specific, we decided to spend one day at the Hard Rock Hotel Pool which is actually situated in Kuta and we had to get there by cab, but it was like 15 min away. We did not went there just for the pool, because as you can guess this place is not just about rooms where you can sleep and a pool where to relax.

Because the day was a bit cloudy and it rained in the morning, we first enjoyed the Traditional Balinese massage for couples. Since we were together, I thought it will be a bit strange to enjoy the massage only one at the time, because the other one would have stayed alone. In this way for one hour, we actually slept together hahaha and we charged our batteries because right after we finished we realized that the sun came out and it became a perfect day for the pool.

And so, another day in paradise has started right after we changed in our swimming suits, we went for lunch at their pool restaurant called Splash. The food was amazing and it was nothing unexpected since I also enjoy the food at Hard Rock Cafe in Bucharest. Sure, there is a small difference between them and I guess is due to the location they are placed, but in the end their principle is the same.

What was left? To spend the half of the day in the private cabana pool, to swim and get some Balinese tan :D, to enjoy some snacks from the basket they brought us and relax hearing the ocean waves because the pool is situated right across the street from the beach.

You can say that is was a pity to go to the pool when you have the Indian Ocean across the street, but believe me it was not. I don’t know if it is like this all year round, but during this season, the ocean currents are really strong and when I say this I mean it. It is really hard to keep your balance when the waves come and go and it is basically impossible to swim even for me with more than 12 years of professional swimming. The only moment when I was brave enough to go deeper into the ocean was when I had my surf lessons, but I was basically on the board and I was pushed by the instructor :)). Otherwise, I went into the water at a no more than a hip level let’s say and even more, the swimming was actually forbidden and were flags all over the beach.

So, I hope you will enjoy my little story and also piece of advice: you can enjoy the beach and the Indian Ocean but remember to be careful, the currents are really strong. And if you are into sports, do some surf too But if you want to swim, to relax and make some bubbles go to Hard Rock Hotel :)) ♥

Wish you a wonderful evening,

Kisses, M ♥
