Swap Party - in pictures

The weekend has come to an end and so has my 1st (try-out) Swap Party-brunch with my adorable ladies.
I must say it was a great success because everyone found and exchanged something, even though if at the beginning I was a little afraid that it will be quite awkward and no one will swap nor mingle, but turns out as I predicted - that one's forgotten and un-used thing is someone else's treasure and new add-on to the collection. especially with the accessories.
so we swapped! :) how was it - check it out in pictures.

Price tags - ready for an action

Exclusive Swap Party at Milan

Yes! you read-me right! I am making an swap party this Sunday on a lovely rooftop in a lovely part of Milan! so if you are in the city and want to meet locals, swap or just shop - keep on reading! 

as every girl, I have loads of stuff I cannot possibly wear it all or as often enough, and as every girl, at least once in her life, has bough something just in a momentary weakness that this is the object/item I-must-have-it-now! or- I definitely-will-wear-it-with-that-blue-dress (most likely i don't even have it yet) or after buying some desired object and bringing it home you realize it goes absolutely together with nothing!  or you think, oh, let's take these beautiful sequins/pins/flitters/feathers/buttons/fabric I will make this awesome DIY project..and it was forgotten in a box with your other planned projects, but never really had time to really start one!

well, definitely it is like for me!and I have definitely a lot of things I love, but just cannot throw them out or give away for charity, but won't wear them as well..And if as well for you too than bring your fashion items/accessories/make-up-nail polishes/cute(small) house items/your own fashion creations/etc. (kindly used and good condition or new) to my Swap Party on 28th of April at 12:00. Here is the Description!

please RSVP or just write me (also can find me in FB) if have some questions/inquiries/suggestions/etc.

and if you are an artist - creator of your own items and would like to sell them or just would prefer instead of swapping selling (auctioning) your things - make the price tags on them! 

P.S. Please note that all not swapped-sold items will be returned to the owner. 

P.S.S. this is an amazing opportunity also to organize your closet and go through your things and prepare for the spring. as well as to make some new friends and have a great Sunday! :)

Smoothies from and in Denmark

this week I'm travelling for work around Nordics, so that's the reason why haven't been writing recently.
my journey started in Copenhagen where i arrived on Sunday morning.
as i was pretty hungry i checked in hotel and i hit the streets to find somewhere to grab a bite.
while checking out the shops and window shopping i saw these awesome smoothies with such a simple but clever packaging and slogans by Froosh (check them out here) . So couldn't resist and get some. And i must say, it tastes as good as it looks. Italy should definitely get something like this.

another awesome smoothy thing was protein smoothy by Nutramino (check them out here, unfortunately just in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish). How cool is that? Italian drink producers -here is an idea for u:)Each guy or gal' going to gym or loving healthy lifestyle and appreciating good taste, will thank you.

 

Sneak-a-peak from Salone Internazionale del Mobile

this morning started exciting - I had a possibility to attend the annual furniture and house fair in Milan. it was my 2nd year in a row, last year had no chance to take pictures, but this time I managed.
some of them you can check out on my Instagram if already following, or just see here, the freshest news from the world of interior design.
Enjoy :) and if in Milan - check it out this weekend when it will be open for public.
