Ciao! Eindelijk, mijn
eerste blogpost over Italië en ik ben blij deze te delen met jullie. Mijn
bestemmingen waren Florence en Rimini, en voel met schuldig voor het lang wachten
van mijn blog plaatsing. Ik kwam namelijk net terug van Italië en de week
daarop volgende mijn 2e vakantie in Spanje en hierdoor is er
weinig tijd over om een kwalitatieve blog te schrijven.
Hopelijk heb ik jullie toch
warm gehouden met IG!
Mijn eerste dag in Italië
was heet en de volgende dagen bleef het steken op
In Florence boekten we een
leuke en comfortabele B&B. We kwamen aan, checkte in, deden een snelle
kamer onderzoek, is tevreden en dropten onze bagage en gingen snel de stad
verkennen te voet! Met als gevolg: blaren op onze voeten.
Bekijk hieronder alvast de eerste foto's van mij in Florence!

My first night in Reggio Emilia
They have nice breakfast and love this squary tiled lamp on the ceiling!
I'll be honest, train schedules in Italy are not accurate at all. And not knowing Italian is a struggle too because their English isn't great either. Luckily my friend F. is Italian c:
Funny to see the German influence on a piece of sign inside the train.
Firenze! We have arrived!
We went to see the star building of Firenze (Florence): the Duomo cathedral!
Looks like the white bum bag was the winner of all!
Hat stands everywhere.
Lunch time at
OK Bar
We saw a lot of these fans + cooling water mist blowing around even at our terrace which is brilliant and this dude is enjoying to it fullest.
We have ordered:
1 salmon egg spaghetti
1 ragout spaghetti
1 side salad
2 iced tea
My salmon and egg spaghetti was delicious! Though the plating could be done better I think because it looked like it got dropped on a plate ungracefully. Our lunch also came with free bread but the bread were so dry and hard to eat that we didn't finish the basket. And the side salad could used a dressing but I guess that's why they put vinegar and olive oil on the table. Overall, not bad, a tad pricey (says my Italian friend) and good service OK bar!
Imagine my amazed face when I saw fries as topping on pizza base.
Our daily mission was also buying (cooled) bottled water because trust me you don't want to be dehydrated in a 35°C area place.

Vine Vera - a scam or fan?
EN
Have you heard of beauty brand Vine Vera before? No, me neither until I was in London when I passed a shop/spa and a salesman lured me in with a free moisture day cream sample. And the salesman whom is a foreigner immediately turned into a cunning selling mode by letting me try on Vine Vera’s peeling treatment on my hand, telling me how big my pores are (gee thanks), the discounts and all the ‘promising’ results and glory of Vine Vera.
It was like a home shopping TV channel but then in real life.
Firstly, Vine Vera is hella expensive! And the salesman was not giving up in selling me the ‘resveratrol merlot peeling’.
I was trying to nope-my-way-out to all his offer and he finally offered me the peeling for £50 instead £100. Along with a free hand cream, a free spa facial treatment (didn’t go due my short stay in London), a spatula and another handful of free samples - I surrendered. This is probably my most expensive peeling yet.

DIY: Resizing your rings
EN
Thank you for your many sweet comments and condolences in my previous post, I appreciate it a lot, so thank you again!
So! Recently I went shopping (because it’s warm in Holland, 18°C and I was in a mood for new dresses) and one of the things I’ve bought were these awesome knuckle rings at good ol` H&M. Too bad all the S sizes were out of stock. But I still wanted them so I bought the size M which was way too big for my fingers.
What to do about it? In this post I’m going to show you how tape will be the answer of fixing oversized rings! NL
Allereerst wil ik jullie bedanken voor de lieve berichtjes en condoleances! Ik waardeer het enorm c:
Het was vandaag 18 graden! Echt freaky gewoon. En heeft me weer in de stemming gebracht voor winkelen dus heb ik onder andere een set ringen gekocht bij de H&M. Alleen jammer dat alle maatjes S niet meer hingen. Maar ik wilde deze ringen dus ik kocht maat M.
Veelste groot natuurlijk dus hoe los je het op? Met tape kom…

De terrorwaterspuitende ventilators zijn heel herkenbaar haha! Prachtige foto's as always en we moeten snel weer een keer afspreken he :) x
ReplyDeleteFlorence is so pretty, I wish I visited for longer when I did! I love these photos. 35C heat sounds brutal though!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Mei. These pictures are gorgeous. The streets are so charming. And that hat stand! LOVE! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think overall? I adore Florence and is one of my favourite cities that I have been to. Although I went in winger when it was 15°C. Can't imagine being in that kind of heat!
ReplyDeleteDignifiable
Oy Firenze looks gorgeous! I hope you're having a blast
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice :]

THAT L.A. IT GIRL
35C is pretty warm, I am use to warm weather here. Italy is a beautiful country, been to Florence once during my Europe trip. Their roof tops are all orangy red..very nice view from atop.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks so good! Especially the fry-topped pizza :O I tend to want to dress nicer when I'm traveling, but after a few trips, I've realized that I'd much rather wear comfortable walking shoes than fashionable shoes! Luckily sneakers/trainers are becoming a sort of trend right now :) -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
