TAORMINA & MOUNT ETNA (second part)

by Carmen Negoita
Travel
  As opposed to the adventure on Mt Etna, Taormina is the most beautiful and relaxing city/resort I visited on this occasion. Archeological sites and ancient ruins are scattered all over the city, but the main attraction is definitely the Greek Theatre. It offers the most beautiful view of Etna and the coast. An hour later we said good bye to that wonderful view and we were on our way to Corso Umberto, the main pedestrian zone situated in the city center. If you want to do some shopping, to go for a walk, have a romantic dinner or simply to taste the best ice cream, this is the place to go to. I highly recommend the Sisili shop ( Corso...

TAORMINA & MOUNT ETNA (part one)

by Carmen Negoita
Travel
  In my first traveling post I told you about Catania and Palermo, two very beautiful cities I've visited on my trip to Sicily. On this occasion I also had the pleasure of visiting the city of Taormina and Mount Etna. If you are looking for adventure, but also for a wonderful city to relax in, these two destinations will surely tick all the boxes.   MOUNT ETNA After a night that seemed to be too short, I returned to Catania, met my friend Lavinia and decided to get to the top of the tallest active volcano in Europe (3.340 m). Due to the frequent eruptions of the past years, it is also considered to be the most active volcano in the world, so were...

THE TRUTH IS IN DETAILS

by Carmen Negoita
Personal Style
Clothing may make up the majority of an outfit, but accessories are more significant than you may think. You might find yourself spending just as much time shopping for accessories as you do for clothes - and rightfully so. As Giorgio Armani once said,  "Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day".  Accessories and clothing have equal significance in an outfit, working together to create an ensemble that expresses your style and who you are.Just like clothing, certain accessories are appropriate for certain occasions. Essentially, you can bring a staple piece of clothing from one occasion to another by simply focusing on accessories. For example, let's take a really basic outfit: a white button up shirt and a pair of fitted, straight...

High Top Sneakers

by Carmen Negoita
Personal Style
I'm all for athletic-inspired shoes and clothing, but the recent trend of high-top sneakers seems made just for models' bodies-at least at first glance. You actually don't have to have mile-long legs to wear them and they can be styled in a sophisticated way, you just need a little guidance.   Flat high-tops-whether they're classic dunks or a fashion-world iteration in gray denim, tie-dye canvas, or colorful leather, should be treated like oxfords. That means pairing the shoes with baggy, cropped trousers (a print or solid, it's up to you), a tailored jacket (like a blazer or peplum style), sleek jewelry, and a minimalist bag. If you prefer a look that's a bit more street, wear those flat high-tops with skinny jeans...

INK IT UP!

by Carmen Negoita
Personal Style
ADD INTEREST WITH GRAPHIC TEES Want a pop of eye-catching interest to your outfit? Just try graphic t -shirts! They're fun and great for creating a laidback fashion statement.  Graphic t-shirts definitely give you a youthful and fun look. They're also known as statement pieces that draw attention to your outfit, which inevitably makes the by-passer take a quick judgement of who you are, based on the print you are wearing. So wear it only when you're feeling extra frisky and confident.  GRAPHIC TEES ARE TIMELESS Retro tees will never go out of style. As long as there is strong pop culture presence then they will continue in the fashion scene. Graphic t-shirts are also indispensable comfort clothes when you want to stay in...

HIPPIE HIPPIE SHAKE

by Carmen Negoita
Personal Style
 The embodiment of youth in the 1960s, the hippie subculture proved to be one of the most influential and proactive groups in American history, culminating at Woodstock. Their wave of protest and fresh ideas has become a standard for youth al over the world.  Today, the hippie style dominate the fashion world and it is worn in every summer. Looking like a hippie isn't really all that hard. In case if you have some problems, try the following suggestions.   TRY TO WEAR USED CLOTHES. Shop at flea markets, and, whenever possible, vintage fairs. The whole point of hippie fashion was to stop buying what big corporations were selling in favor of used clothing that was purchased locally. Many hippies are into sewing and other handcrafts;...
