Egypt2014

Ahoj!

   Konečně jsem si udělala čas a rozhodla jsem se sem dát fotky z letošní dovolené v Egyptě. Musím říct, že celá dovolená byla opět obrovská zkušenost - pro příště už vím, že pokud budu chtít klidnou a bezproblémovou dovolenou tak do Egypta né. 

   Tyhle fotky jsou z výletu, kam jsme se náhodou vydali - nechali jsme si z hotelu zavolat taxi v domnění, že nás zaveze do vesnice asi 20km vzdálené od hotelu, tam nás nechá 3 hodiny na pospas a pak nás zase zaveze zpět - nic víc, nic míň. 

   Taxi nás opravdu do vesnice zavezlo, ale sotva jsme vystoupili, už se nás ujal mladý místní chlapec a začal nám ukazovat město. A život takový, jaký tam opravdu je. Nutno říct, že to nebyla zrovna turistická destinace - žádné další turisty jsme tam za celou dobu nepotkali a všude byla vyloženě cítit chudoba. 

   Vybrala jsem pár fotek, pomocí kterých bych chtěla naši prohlídku ilustrovat. Záměrně jsem vybírala fotky, na kterých jsou pouze místní a na kterých nejsme my - snad budete z fotek cítit alespoň trochu tu místní atmosféru.

Hello!

   I finally found some time to upload photos from this summer vacation in Egypt. The whole holiday was a huge experience - next time I know that if I want a problem-free holiday, I have to choose other country than Egypt.

   These photos are from the trip where we went by a taxi - we were expecting that it will drop us in the village, we will walk around for a couple of hours and then it will come back for us and take us back to the hotel. But as soon as we arrived to the village, the young man took us on the walk through the whole village and we saw it the way it really is - turist-free destination and very poor. 

   I chose a few photos as I wanted to illustrate our trip a little bit. I didn't include any photos of us - it just didn't feel right - I hope you'll feel the atmosphere of the place the way we felt it. 

Jaký je váš nejsilnější zážitek z letošní dovolené? / 

What is your biggest experience from this holiday?

We Run Prague 2014

Ahoj!

   Tak zase po dlouhé době přináším nový příspěvek.

   Dost věcí se u mě v poslední době změnilo a tak jsem se rozhodla, že tenhle blog nebudu věnovat jenom módě (přece jenom, od toho jsou tu jiní, že Kačí), ale i běhání a cestování a možná jiným věcem, prostě všemu, co mě baví.

   Letos jsem již podruhé běžela Nike Run Prague. Začala jsem trénovat někdy na jaře a letos jsem měla jasný cíl: zaběhnout závod pod hodinu. A povedlo se!

Hi!

   I've got a new post for you after a while.

   A lot of things changed recently, so I decided to change my blog a little bit as well and share with you some posts about running and travelling and maybe some other things I like.

   This year I participated in the race We Run Prague for the second time. I started my training in spring and I wanted to finish the race in less than 1 hour, which I did! :)

   A jak se mi závod líbil?
   Spousta lidí si na organizaci letošního závodu stěžovala, ale mně přišel fajn. Byla nová trasa, na konci závodu na nás čekalo občerstvení a hlavně jsme letos měli krááásná trička! :)

   And how did I like the race?
   Many people said that the organisation of the race was bad, but I really liked it. There was a new way we ran, we got plenty of food and drinks in the end and we had really nice t-shirts this year! :)

Můj čas: 56:27 - příště pod 55! / My time: 56:27 - next time I'll make it under 55!

Také vás chytlo běhání, nebo jde tenhle "trend" mimo vás? :)

Do you also run, or you don't really enjoy this sport?

Canterbury & the passion for Starbucks

Good afternoon :)
   The last few days have been very busy for me (loads of trips with my friends and stuff - parties :D). But I have a lot of new pictures to share, so you can expect several fashion posts in next few days.
   This one is from Canterbury, where I was with my host-mum and host-sister.Unfortunately she has the other half of photos and we couldn't upload them to my computer, so I don't have much this time. I still hope you'll like this post as there are some quite a nice pictures after a long time. :)

   I do love Starbucks and I visit it quite often, while I'm in England. I didn't really go often when I was in Czech, but I think it's the people here who taught me to love it. It's a wonderful place to meet with your friends, share news, catch-up with a friend you haven't seen for weeks or even with friend you see everyday. It's place for everyone in everytime - with delicious hot drinks which make you warm in winter and cold Frappes which keep you cool in summer.


   I even used to go on Starbucks meetings for international people. It was every Friday from 7pm to 9pm. It was quite fun, we used to chat and play games with other internationals. Thanks for that!

About the outfit:

   I wanted to stylize myself into retro style - huge flower printed dress, simple blazer and the brown bag. It looks a bit vintage, but the sunglasses make it more current. That's about it :)  

Extra coffee caramel Frappucino ♥

What I wore:

White blazer: Bershka

Sunglasses: Atmosphere

Brown bag: ? :)

Flower dress: Pussycat

I'm really sorry it's called Canterburry and you can't see anything of the town. I hope I get these photos from my friend's camera soon!!!

My favourite shops in UK

Hey, hi, hello :)
   As I'm leaving England really soon and making some evaluations of my whole year, I must not forget about shopping. Hell yeah, it has been one of the most important things for this year. Not that I wouldn't love shopping before, but here... I got almost on the pro-level ;D
   As my budget is not really low, but still on the student's level (and this is probably the target group as well, because I believe most of my readers is young and still studying), I'll pick the stores where you can get some very pretty, but affordable clothes. Let's start from the most favourite.

TOP 3:

1. New Look

   Perfect store for me. They always have what's in, in a reasonable quality and price. They've often got sales. Their clothes lasts for quite long and looks well even after several washings. Plus - they've got an online store as well. 10% discount with student card.

2. Peacocs

   Another shop I really like. Prices and quality is very similar to New Look, but the style is a bit different. They've also got a stylish clothes, but it's more like trends which will last for a longer period. Hope you get what I mean - it's not a store for fashion victims, but that's what I like about it. They've got shop online, too. 10% discount with student card.

3. Primark

   The legend of low-budget shopping. Even the prices aren't that good as I heard they used to be (tshirt for a pound etc.), it's still very reasonable. And some of the things can last for surprisingly long. No online store, unfortunately. No student discount (the prices are ridiculously cheap already).

Other interesting ones I have to mention:

 Oxford Street - hundreds of shops,the best place I've ever been shopping (yes, better than Miami for me!)

 Topshop - absolutely stylish and adorable clothes, unfortunately a bit overpriced...

 Zara - good quality products and classic pieces for your closet

 Pull and Bear - very good design and quality, modern clothes, reasonable

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Special article for those who 'love shopping' - wait, everyone does, right? ;)

   I just saw Confessions of a Shopaholic today (again) and it inspired me to write this article. And now I feel a bit like Rebecca. Because I'm definitely not the one who should tell you to shop wisely. But, I think I have a lot to say, because through the last year I went through the shopping mania and yeah, there is a few people calling me shoppaholic. Personaly, I don't think I am one - yes, I love shopping and it makes me really happy. I can spend hours in the shop just looking for the things and trying them on. Usually I buy myself a couple of things every week. It makes me confident. I love the feeling when I'm entering the shop and I see all the gorgeous clothes aroung me. I love the feeling when I see the thing and I know I really have to have it. I love the feeling when I buy it and take it home. 

   This year (starting by September) I changed my style completely. It was because of 2 reasons: 1.) I moved to England. Gosh, everyone is so stylish! I never saw so many people dressed that well as in London. (even people in Brighton were pretty amazing as well). Why? Because people just wear what they like and they don't care about others people opinion. 2.) The second reason is I had a lot of money to spend.

(About 10 months ago) Me and girls, just few weeks after we arrived to England. 

We just couldn't get enough shopping.

      But when I look back, I see a few mistakes I did. And when I realize it, I always think 'I wish I knew that before'. So I want to share this at least with you, to avoid the same mistakes as I did and shop wisely.

How to shop wisely?

1. Always ask yourself: "Do I really need this?" I know it sounds obvious, but don't you ever buy a thing you never wear, because you realize it's just not you. Or simply - you don't really like it.

2. "Do I have anything to match this thing with?" Simple one.

3. "Don't I have anything similar to this one?" Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. I have about 4 blue cardigans and I wear just one, the favourite. Why would I wear the rest when they all look the same, anyway?

4. "It's cheap, but will I ever wear it?" First months, I was just buying everything in Primark, because it was ridiculously cheap. I can wear it once or twice for this price, right? Not.

5. "Sales". I'm not telling you should shop in the sales all the time, not at all. But you can save a huge amount of money if you wait few weeks for the thing you really want, but it's so ridiculously expensive. And sometimes you can find there amazing pieces.The same is with thrift stores, actually. You just have to search.

6. And finally the most important one, which I learnt just few months ago "Quality over quantity". And here I mean the real quality, not just overpriced shops with good looking, but non-quality items. It looks better and lasts longer. 

Please read this!!!

   Here is a clever example I read somewhere and it sticked to my mind. -- You can buy a cheap party top for 10£ and wear it twice. Or buy more expensive one for 30£, in which you will feel amazing and wear it at least ten times a year. Each time you wear the first, "cheaper" top it costs you 5£, each time you wear the better, "more expensive" top it costs you 3£. You get my point? :)

Everyone has a secret..

shhh..!

Don't tell anyone I'm crazy! :D

Or maybe just addicted... ;)

Don't get it?

Pretty Little Liars

Hey ladies,

   I decided to create a post about my currently favourite series called 'Pretty little liars'. I'm sure most of you have already heard about it, as there is going to be second season soon! (14th June). I just finished first season yesterday (it took me just 3 days to watch the whole first season! It was like an addiction and I just couldn't stop, cos I still had to know what's next. In the end, I was a bit confused - I felt like I don't know anything again.... anyway, if you didn't see this yet, I can just recommend it!

   Rozhodla jsem se napsat o mém momentálně nejoblíbenějším seriálu 'Pretty little liars'. Myslím, že většina z vás už o něm slyšela, protože zanedlouho již bude druhá sezóna (konkrétně 14.června). Já jsem dokoukala tu první včera (trvalo mi to pouhé 3 dny zkouknout celou sérii a bylo to fakt jako závislost, kterou nešlo zastavit, protože jsem pořád musela vědět, co se stane dál. Nakonci jsem byla trochu zmatená - jako bych zase nevěděla nic.... nicméně, pokud jste tento seriál ještě neviděli, můžu jenom doporučit!

From left ; Spencer, Emily, Hanna and Aria

   A little bit of story: "It's summer and five friends is camping in the woods. When they wake up in the night, one of them is missing. The rest of the girls is trying to figure out what happened...."

   Kousek příběhu: "Je léto a pět kamarádek kempuje v lesích. Když se probudí uprostřed noci, jedna z nich chybí. Zbytek holek se snaží zjistit, co se stalo..."

   As many people said, it is like a "Teenage Desperate Housewives" and I think that's actually what describes it the best. And least but not the last (!) - some of girls outfits are stunning! 

   Jak řeklo mnoho lidí, je to jako "Zoufalé Manželky pro Teenagery" a já si myslím, že je to velmi výstižné. A v neposlední řadě se můžete také těšit na některé velmi povedené outfity dívek.

Spencer, Aria, Emily and Hanna

      But to be honest - when you really think about it, can possibly exist a deep friendship without sharing any secrets? And believe me, those girls don't share any, unless they really have to... I can't really believe it. 

   Ale popravdě - když se nad tím opravdu zamyslíte, je vůbec možné, aby existovalo hluboké přátelství bez toho, aby si přátelé mezi sebou sdělovali tajemství? A věřte mi, tyto dívky se nepodělí o žádné, dokud opravdu nemusí.... A v to já moc nevěřím.

Aria and Ezra

Ezra and Aria

Hanna and Caleb

Spencer and Toby

   And because it's teenage series, there is also a space for love. I think they found some really cute boys for this series - to be honest, I like all of those guys above. :D However my personal favourite is Toby.

   A protože je to seriál pro teenagery, je zde také místo pro lásku. Myslím si, že pro tento seriál se výběr velmi povedl - abych byla upřímná, z těch 3 nahoře se mi líbí snad všichni. :D Nicméně mým favoritem je Toby.
