My New Year 2017 Home Decoration

When I was a small child and lived in Albania we used to buy a real  pine every year and used to decorate it with cotton balls and colourful paper hand made decorations. I loved it and all year looked forward to this time of the year.

Some years ago I bought an artificial pine and bring it up every year to decorate. Last years the decorations consolidate so I don't have to buy new ones.

My tree is a 2 m long pine. It is beautiful even without decorations. It is green, full of leaves. I put it in a wide vase with soil.



This is the overall look. Let's see the details now.

Santa Claus in the top of my pine.

Blue big balls.

Red balls.

Small blue balls.

Gold balls.

Red stars.

Bells chain.

Red decoration chain

Yellow decoration chain

Green - yellow decoration chain.

Dining room decor.

Happy New Year 2017!

#guzellikaskina Blogger Meeting 2

The participants of #guzellikaskina (beautylove) #beuternity Blogger Meeting were:

All of them beautiful girls. Some of whom I was introduced in another meeting some months before, but a lot of them was new to me. The best of knowing new bloggers is that you go and read their pages and learn a lot of new things and new views. 

My outfit of the day was a sleeveless rose pink blouse and a warm white, baby pink and silver sparkly yarn suit by Vivid. I bought this suit long ago but I am happy that I invested in such a timeless piece since it resists the time and I always feel beautiful in it. It is a 3 piece suit: jacket, pants and skirt. I choose to wear it with the skirt this time. My tights are from Penty, shiny 20 den. My shoes are Forever new baby pink saten, with swarowski stones near the ankle and on the heels.

Our sponsors who brought food were : @leonepatisserieboulangerie , they brought buttery heart shaped coockies. We ate them during the event. http://www.leone-tr.com

#guzellikaskina Blogger Meeting Izmir

1 month ago I partecipated in a Blogger Meeting in Izmir and without having the opportunity to write about it in my blog, was invited in a second meeting. So I decided to begin writing from the second one. 

We met in Les Quais de Smyrna a restaurant in Alsancak, the center of Izmir. It was a beautiful small restaurant with delicious food but the portions I found to be very small and prices very expensive. 

The organizers were @bbluemakeup @morsemsiyelikiz @madamojeli @makeupandgetdressed @lightsofbeauty @mirayinmakyaji @zerrun.

Here is my photo with organisers. All of them beautiful and successful girls.
