The '10 Top 10

Like many other fashion bloggers out there, I decided to do a final recap and show you my favorite outfits I posted on this blog this year! I chose the 10 outfits I liked the most and here you can have a look at them in a little overview. Click on the number above the photos to see the original posts I took them from! :)

P1130599 - Copy
According to the peeps on Chictopia, this probably should have been #1 - this outfit was actually featured in the Style Gallery and got me loads of votes. I wore this to watch the World Cup soccer finals (Holland vs. Spain) - the heels were not the most practical thing for sitting on sand, but that's OK, I'm not a very practical being :))

I loved wearing this outfit! I threw this on to go to a fun fair while on vacation in Italy (I was smart enough to put on shorts underneath, luckily! :)) The cross-body bag added a sportier vibe to it and I felt like an undercover Lara Croft, hihi.

I DIY-ed the shirt myself and so I will always be proud of this outfit ;) My favorite this about it is how the color of Bambi and of my heels goes together.

I think that this is the coolest skirt ever made! My mom sewed it perhaps 20 years ago and when I tried it on for the first time this summer, after digging it up somewhere, it fit me perfectly. Exotic fish FTW!

This is an outfit I wore to a photoshoot with my friend and band colleague Julia. We snapped these photos after performing at a graduation party of a people from a Russian school in Vienna. It was an amazing night - we got everything for free including food and drinks and I got to practice my Russian with the cutest boy ever (boyfriend, do not be alarmed - he was 6 years old).

I wore this outfit to a celebration of my friend's 18th birthday. Apparently I looked like a Greek princess - even though I don't see what that comparison was based on, I am beyond flattered :)) I totally love the Guess Marciano shirt - it's one of my favorite blouses!

I realize that this is quite a simple outfit, but I think the tie-dyed jeans with holes don't need much accessorizing, because they're such a statement piece on their own. The fantastic photos were taken by my friend Evgeny, who is a really good photographer :)

I was chosen as the Best Dressed Reader of the Day by TeenVogue based on this outfit. 'nuff said!

The photos of this outfit were, too, taken by Evgeny. This is not really an everyday outfit (what a shame... -.-), but it was so glamorous! The gloves adorned with dazzling crystals, my zebra Jimmy Choos, the feathery skirt and Russian Red lipstick by MAC - yes, please!

#1 - The outfit of 2010
Outfitof2010
The outfit of the year might come as a slight surprise to you - I normally don't wear bright colors and flashy handbags. But the truth is - this was such a Sabina outfit, that it was pre-destined to be the #1. Strolling the streets of Cannes, where everyone drives around in Lamborghinis and drinks Martinis and I know not what else, I certainly turned heads. And that's even though I was mainly dressed in H&M & Zara clothes ;) That goes to show that brands are definitely not everything!

With this I wish you a Happy New Year!
Let 2011 be the best one yet! :)


PS: What was YOUR favorite outfit from my blog? Let me know in the comments below!

A Stylish Traveler's Guide: Barcelona

Do you know why I love blogging so much? Because one gets to meet absolutely amazing and very nice people. When I wrote Núria, a gorgeous blogger from Barcelona, a short comment asking her to give me some tips on where to go, I did not expect to find a long, professional travel guide with fantastic insider information in my inbox! It is so good, that I feel obliged to share it with the rest of you! Check out Núria's blog, she is just starting out and her outfits are as gorgeous as her pretty self :))


Barcelona Travel Guide
by Núria

bcncentre
I (Núriahave made a little map of the center of Barcelona, where you can find some of the places I mention with numbers and interesting zones marked. Not all the things I talk about appear on the map, so I give you Barcelona's website, where you can find more information an better maps :) To situate you: down in the Ramblas, there's the sea; up, the mountain. 

I don't know if you knew that here in Barcelona (Catalunya, or Catalonia ;) ) we speak Catalan - tt sounds like a mix of Spanish and French, with a bit of Italian. But be sure that everyone will answer you in Spanish or English! Don't be afraid to ask! 

All the names of the places I'm going to talk about are in Catalan, so it will be easier for you to recognize them. For better orientation: "Carrer" means "Street", "Calle" in Spanish; "Plaça" means "place, square".

1. Tourism - green on the map


You must visit Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell designed by Antoni Gaudí, they are absolutely amazing! There are also other Gaudi's buildings that are a must-see, but you will be able to visit them while you make a little shopping tour in Passeig de Gràcia: there are the Casa Batlló  (my favourite Gaudi's building) and La Pedrera.

The Barri Gòtic (where I took the photos of my last post) and el Born, the neighboring district, really deserve an entire day. While there, you can visit The Cathedral, Santa Maria del Pi and Santa Maria del Mar (they are small churches). Near Santa Maria del Mar you can find Picasso's Museum, in a beautiful old palace, it's really great! But the real charm is in the streets!
You can also visit el Palau de la Música ("The Palace of Music") a nice modernist building, with a lovely café - perfect for a capuccino!

Another place that is a must-see is the Montjuic. It is a litle mountain in the middle of Barcelona, where you can also find the Barcelona fair. There is a castle and the Nacional Art Museum of Catalunya (MNAC)... Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 19.00, 19.30, 20.00 and 20.30 one of the most typical shows of the city 
takes place - the Magic Fountain. It's a show with the bigger fountain of Montjuic (in front of the MNAC), lights and music... and it's free!


  • 1. Cathedral
  • 2. Plaça Sant Jaume, where there are la Generalitat (the government of Catalunya) and the city council
  • 3. Santa Maria del Mar
  • 4. Museu Picasso
  • 5. Palau de la Música
  • 6. Santa Maria del Pi
  • 7. Casa Batlló, La Pedrera
For more information see here.

2. Shopping - red on the map


The most commercial streets are Portal de l'Àngel and Carrer Pelayo, where you can find the typical cheap brands like H&M, Zara or Mango (they are a lot cheaper in Spain! and they will be in sales at the beginning of January!), Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho... Then there is Passeig de Gràcia, where the most expensive brands have their boutiques - Loewe, Channel, D&G, Rabat...and there's also a COS shop! ;)

For vintage shopping, there are shops in Carrer Tallers, where you will also come across many punk and gothic shops (FUNNY!). There's a Shop in Ronda Universitat called Humana (the red point) where you can find really cheap coats in great condition, even fur coats! And my favourite place, is, of course, the Barri Gòtic: in the Carrer de la Palla and Banys nous there are lots of wonderful vintage shops.

I also recommend you to walk all around the zone between Las Ramblas and Portal de l'Àngel, and even down in the Gòtic (Carrer Avinyó, near la Generalitat has lots of shops and charming restaurants) and the Born: there are lots of litle shops full of amazing stuff!


3. Eating - blue on the map


In Barcelona we have got a fast food chain called Viena ( ;) ) that I absolutely recommend: they have great products, yumi-yumi salads... so don't even think of going to McDonald's! Another option for healthy fast food is Wok-to-Walk, where you can choose the ingredients and they cook in a minute in front of you  - that's your wok, to walk! (near the Generalitat)

A great, 
really chic restaurant  that I love is "El lobo", near the Ramblas, reasonable prices, great food and a really good ambient! But if you want to have a really good dinner, spending time drinking great wine and experiencing typical Catalan ambient, you must go to "Senyor Parellada", in the Born. They serve typical food and it is a very very very nice local - they charge reasonable prices, too. Or, if you can/want expend more money I absolutely recommend you "Els 4 gats": it is an old bar, turned into a lovely restaurant, where all the artists and bohemians of Barcelona used to meet (Gaudí, Picasso, Rosinyol, Albéniz, etc.). Lots of nights there is live music playing in the background (usually the piano), and the food is really nice.

4. Party - yellow on the map


In Barcelona you can find lots of different ambients... To have a smart coktail, I recommend you "El lobo" - the same restaurant has a cocktail bar at night - or "Boadas", a really typical bar setted in the corner between Ramblas and Carrer Tallers, that is said to have the greatest cocktails in Barcelona.

If you like the punk ambient of Carrer Tallers, there's a great rock club, with special shots for 1€, called Valhalla.

The most popular discos are Apolo (in the Paralel, near Montjuic) and Razzmatazz (in Carrer Almogàvers, near the Marina metro station). They both have an indie/cool/modern ambient. I used to go to Razzmatazz... twice a month! You must remember, that here we've got a different timetable, so this discos open at 24.00 and do not close till 6 in the morning.

If not interested in these, you can always walk down in the Ramblas, where lots of people will offer you flyers and make you discounts to enter pubs and discos. Guru, City Hall and Boulevard are OK! :D But drinking in Boulevard is very expensive, so it's better go to another place before.

  • 1. Boadas
  • 2. Valhalla
  • 3. City Hall
  • 4. Guru Boulevard

If you have time, it's always a great idea to go for a walk in the Eixample: it's a district with a very tidied distribuition of the buildings, as a grid. It is the zone above Carrer Pelayo (or Pelai), at side of Passeig de Gràcia ( Carrer Provença, Balmes and Enric Granados are some of the nicests streets, and there are also some shops and lovely restaurants. If you like japanese food, in Carrer Provença there is one called "Hannagin" that is cheap and good!). If the day is not too cold, a walk near the beach and lunch in one of the typical sea restaurants of the La Barceloneta (The "fisherman" district) is a great plan. And, to have the best view of all Barcelona, you can go to Tibidabo, an amusement park in the top of the Mountain (you can arrive there with public transport), that you may remember of the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona of W.Allen.


Well, this is all! I hope you enjoy your visit and become a Barcelona lover as I am :)

How to Wear: Fur Jacket

I noticed, that my previous how-to-wear post about ushankas aka Russian hats got loads of hits and was really popular on TeenVogue's Fashion Click (check it out, they feature loads of amazing outfit posts from awesome bloggers such as myself *muhaha*). Well, as a hard-working student of Economics, I realized that if demand increases, supply should follow and so I am bringing you a brand new "How to Wear" post - this time we will have a look at (hopefully faux)  fur jackets!

Let my start off by saying that I think a faux fur jacket is a must have item for any aspiring fashionista. It's like a pair of good ol' blue jeans - you can wear it whenever you're not feeling creative, standing in front of your wardrobe and it willl make you feel like a rock star any time you put it on.

Untitled-1

When browsing through thehautepursuit.com, I could not help but notice that its owner is pretty much a professional at wearing fur jackets/coats. She makes them look very edgy, grungy and rock'n'roll by pairing them with leather tights, high heels and accessories like massive chains with crosses or hats. 

Untitled-2

My favorite way of wearing fur jackets is to combine them with glamorous and sexy clothes. This can be quite a tricky look to pull off - it can easily go from looking sexy to looking trashy (the girl on the left managed, but some would definitely look cheap wearing what she put on). The key here, I reckon, is to think classical Hollywood red carpet style and not to go crazy with colors - although reds, as you can see on the right photo, work really well when paired with these furry coats.

Untitled-3

I noticed loads of girls paired their fur jacket with black tights and I think it looks really amazing. Also, I love the Russian flair Whitney the right gave to her outfit - the golden accents and red lipstick made it look amazing. 

Untitled-5

The fur jacket looks a little less elegant, but trendier and cooler when accompanied by grey or off-white touches, as seen on the middle and right photo. Laura (on the left) made herself look like a doll thanks to her white tights - this is a basis for a very elegant and innocent looking ensemble.

And to show you that a fur jacket doesn't always have to look super elegant or classical, I've put together this last set. All the three pretty ladies wore their jackets in a nontraditional way and put together really outstanding, chic & quirky outfits.

Vaio

I promised to show you some of the presents I found under the Christmas tree - as you will shortly find out, they are really awesome. I am actually using one of them right now - I got a new, amazing computer!

P1080242 copy

This is my new electronic partner and to be honest, I spend more time with him (her, actually, I named it Vaaya) than with my actual partner :)) It has full HD, Windows 7, a GeForce® graphics processor with CUDA, the ability to play Blu-ray discs and overall, it is absolutely amazing! On the photo you can see my working space - Vaaya, a WiFi mouse, my BlackBerry Storm and the green thing, which I don't exactly love (even though it's quite stylish) - my TI-83 calculator, because I am studying Maths. If you read my last post, you know that I am really liking Warhammer at the moment - this is the reason why. The graphics are to die for and everything runs so smoothly that it seriously feels as if I were in the game. Looooooooove it.

P1080233 copy

Next, there was some awesome make up. I will start from the top and go clockwise. At the very top, you can see my new Dior Forever foundation, which is seriously amazing. The turquoise tube next to it is a pore minimizer from Benefit, which works miracles as far as I can tell. The yellow baggie is full of awesome products from Body Shop (including their Body Butter, yummy!). Underneath is another Benefit box - I haven't had a chance to try any of the products yet, but there's Bad Gal Lash  inside and I've heard mixed reviews about it, so I am quite curious to see for myself. The cute pink tube is a hand cream from Alessandro - I got this from my "mother-in-law" and it's really great and smells divine. The bareMinerals powder foundation kit was a big let-down for me, because it looked majorly cake-y and powder-y on me, but it works really well on my mum. Lemon aid is yet another handy product from Benefit - I will definitely have a closer look at their products, seeing how great they work and how awesome is the packaging. The last box is a little bit invisible on the photo, but it is one of Helena Rubinstein's mascaras - I haven't tried it yet, but so far I loved all the HR mascaras I tried and so I don't think I'll be disappointed.

P1080245 copy

Last but not least - here is my new Guess suitcase! It is actually two bags which you can put together to form a suitcase if you want. It looks super-stylish (I love Guess, so how could I think otherwise! :)) and I will put it to good use soon - I am flying to Barcelona on January 6! :))

I got many more awesome presents, but my mum cleaned the whole house and I can't find any of them :D Also, I got amazing clothes - but I will show you those in on of my Daily Outfit posts rather than lying on my bed! Darlings, let me know in the comment section below what you got for Christmas and what was your favourite present! :))

Merry Christmas

Feliz navidad to you all once again - I hope you had a very merry Christmas and got loads of things your heart secretly (or not so secretly) longed for... I, for one, got absolutely fabulous presents which I will share with you with another post :)

For now I just thought I'd share some snaps of my Christmas outfit, the wonderful news of my newly acquired sickness and absolute love for the online game Warhammer. Do any of you know or play it? :)) I know it's usually fat boys with severe acne who play it instead of entering real life, but I must say I find it really awesome. I guess that's the little girl deep inside me, who loves to stay up late at night and read fantasy books with a flash-light under her blanket... I've read so many already - J.R.R Tolkien, Andrzej Sapkowski,Christopher Paolini, Philip Pullman, Garth Nix and probably many others, whose names I can't think of right now. I especially liked Sapkowski's (unfortunately an English translation of most of his works is not available) book "The Witcher" - his characters' personalities are not black and white like in many fantasy books, but rather portrayed using various shades of grey. That's all from me today, I'm off to cough my lungs out! :))

How to Wear: Ushanka

There is one item of clothing I've been craving to get my hands on lately - a "ushanka". Some of you may know it under a different name - a "Russian hat", perhaps. It's a huge trend this winter and so I decided to put together a little guide to wearing these pretty warm hats.

First of all, let me tell you a little bit about ushankas. Its name derives from the Russian word "уши" (ushi), which means "ears". Such hats have not only been worn by Russians, but by other inhabitants of cold climates such as Scandinavians, Canadians or Germans. The ushanka as we now know it was, however, indeed the product of Russians - during the military conflict between the former Soviet Union and Finland known as the Winter War, many soldiers died as a result of being exposed to extremely cold temperatures. The uniform of the Soviet soldiers was, therefore, improved and one of the changes made was the official introduction of a ushanka as a part of the attire, replacing the so-called "будёновка" (budyonovka). A ushanka is typically made from sheepskin and rabbit or muskrat fur, but nowadays it is customary to see hats made using artificial fur.

Untitled-1 copy

 If the weather isn't too cold, you might decide to wear your ushanka with knee high or over-the-knee socks. I'm a big sucker for this look, because I find it looks really sexy in a cute and non-vulgar way.

Untitled-2 copy

 Another option for warmer weather is pairing your ushanka with a short skirt. I like the contrast created by combining these two items and the fact, that it gives a tomboyish edge to an otherwise purely feminine look.

Untitled-4 copy

If worn with feminine clothes - especially those with brown undertones - your ushanka will actually contribute to the softness and femininity of your outfit, highlight its soft contours and complete the brownish palette with a final touch. I think this works especially well with darker chocolate-y browns, like on the left and right photos.

Untitled-3 copy

 Lastly, I think that a ushanka looks fantastic when combined with masculine clothes. I think it's especially nice when if the clothes have some military touches - a khaki green parka or khaki pants as seen on the photo above complement the look very nicely.

PS: I wish you all Merry Christmas!!! 
I hope you get loads of presents and have a wonderful time with your family, 
or whoever you are celebrating with.

Foodie, but a Goodie

Game of the week: Warhammer

Hello everybody! I have not posted anything since last Wednesday, but let me tell you - the past few days have been probably the happiest and most interesting in my entire life. Why is, unfortunately, a secret, but one day I'll reveal it :) All I can say is that I'm the luckiest person alive and if only I believed in fate, I would feel really thankful to it...

Today I met up with my friend Maria to go Christmas present shopping, have my weekly dose of girl stuff and, of course, share the news with her. We decided to grace one of our favorite restaurants with our presence and while there enjoyed their fantastic running sushi - I suppose it is needless to mention that as of now, I'm as stuffed as a freaking turkey. The amount of food we ate was criminal, but I snapped a few photos for you... Have fun salivating all over your keyboard!

P1080164 copy

P1080167 copy

 I wanted to impress you with the amount of food I consumed, but the waitress kept taking the plates away... So let's do a little math here - take this amount, multiply it by 4, divide that by 2, add 5, subtract 10 and then multiply that number by 5. Oh yeah! :P

P1080184 copy

Amongst all the amazing culinary creations, I found a really cute dessert - a tiny piglet! Seeing as my friend allows me to embarrass her in public places, my discovery was followed by childish harassing of the poor piece of dough through excessive cuddling and other things I'd rather not mention in order to keep my dignity.

P1080175 copy

P1080169 copy

This is not the first time I went to a restaurant in the past few days... As I mentioned previously, I had the feeling that if I don't go to a restaurant, my stomach will take revenge on me in some nasty way that stomachs do (I didn't say diarrhea...) and so I just went with its cravings and using wicked threats forced le boyfriend to take me out to eat. OK, that's a lie. All it took was bringing up our common erotic fantasy, which goes as follows: we go out to eat a nice juicy steak or something equally satisfying, go back home and then jump in bed... to sleep! :)

I apologize for my steak being half eaten on the photo, but whenever people put food in front of me after driving around town for an hour with an empty stomach desperately searching for a place to eat and trying to calm down my hungrier half aka the boy, my thoughts do not involve things like taking photos of half cooked animals with Cognac pepper sauce, but rather about saving my bare life.

Ten thousand fists in the air

Song of the day: Ten Thousand Fists by Disturbed

600 followers! Wow, thank you so much darlings! Due to the unconditional love I am getting here on my blog, there will be some really really fun news coming up for both you and me in 2011 - I will not yet tell you what they are, but I will tell you that am really excited :))
I'm in a great mood - I gave in my Chemistry write-ups, wrote my German test, got a good grade in Economics and I spent time with le boyfriend, which was really nice. He showed me the game "Warhammer" (don't think he's one of those gamers with no life though :))), do you guys know it? I made my own Dark Vampire, whom I named Minnaloushe after a character from a fantastic gothic thriller called "Season of the Witch" by Natasha Mostert. If you get the time, I recommend you read it :)

Today, I chose a very special setting for my outfit photos... my room, that is. You can't see much, but I'll tell you a little bit about the things you do see. On the cupboard next to me is "The Republic" from Plato, which I am now reading because of my interest in philosophy. There is a sign on the upper shelf, which says "Malawi". Now, as you probably deduced from the fact that I am pigmentally challenged, it does not refer to my homeland. Last year I represented my school at a Model United Nations conference in Genoa in Italy (read about it here!) and this is the country I represented. The honorable delegate of Malawi, that's me ;) I actually got the white furry jacket I'm wearing while on that trip. Next to it is my favorite perfume, Elixir by Miss Sixty - my ex-boyfriend still remembers it each time we talk, just to give you an idea of how awesome it smells. From the other side of my "Malawi" sign is a piggy bank I got in England and behind it a ladybird called "Valentynka", whom I got on Valentine's Day some years ago from my aunt :))) Then there is a big photo of some city in Asia, I'm think Shanghai.

On the very right you can see a teddy bear - there is a funny story behind this baby. Before we were even together, my boyfriend came over to my house. Nothing romantic - he was bringing me schoolwork, which was very nice of him (he doesn't do that anymore! :)) and absolutely unnecessary of course ;) I had mononucleosis and I was in a very bad state. When you have mono, your liver is suffering really much and therefore the worst thing you could do to yourself would be drinking alcohol. That said, my dear friend Leo walked into my room and handed over a present - I was actually literally kicking him out of the room, because I looked terrible and didn't want him to see me like that, because of the major crush I had on him, but he wouldn't leave. The present was this teddy bear... torn open at the end (he did it himself, awww!)... with a huge vodka bottle inside :D I was seriously wondering if he wanted to kill me back then :D It's not the first time a guy has tried to give me something, which could bring me to a certain painful death - or at least give me a little headache. Another friend, whose name I won't mention, gave me a flower while we were on a field trip with our class and before he finished saying "Here's a beautiful flower for a beautiful girl." our Chemistry teacher ripped the poor plant out of my hand and screamed: "It's poisonous." So yeah, great admirers I have :)))

Calculating Uncertainties

I realize the title sounds very poetic and interesting, perhaps like that of a popular song of any Brit pop band... but unfortunately, I am literally calculating uncertainties for my Chemistry write-up. I'm not gonna whine, but my life is so dificu- No it's not! :)) I am in a good mood today and you should be too, because here is what you've all been awaiting - a new outfit post! Instead of a boring white background, I decided to take pictures in front of a picture we have in our basement - one of a really sexy man, as you'll find out in a bit ;)

This week shouldn't be too bad - I only have to hand in my Chemistry portfolio by Wednesday, write an essay about John Donne's poems for English and do my German test. Compared to previous weeks, this one will be easy breezy :)) Also, I crave going to a nice restaurant, so I suppose I will do that sometime this week as well - and I will document it for you. And next Wednesday my Winter Holidays being. *grandma voice* Good times are coming sweethearts, I'm telling you, good times!

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Hola everyone! I can't believe I forgot to tell you the awesome news! Oxford admission tutors can go cry themselves to sleep, because I got an interview at UCL! May I just point out, that their admission criteria were in fact even higher than those at Oxford - oh yeaaaaah ;) So that's right, I got an interview and I'll be traveling to London in February to visit the beautiful university and hopefully get accepted. That is just awesome at so many levels - a lovely city, one of the best universities in England, a course that I absolutely love... It could hardly get any better.
A while ago, I got tagged by Marcelka (a very beautiful Slovakian fashion lover whose blog you should certainly check out) to do the Seven Secrets Tag and since I've never really done anything like it, here it is :))

1. In case you don't read my blog regularly, here is some personal background about me: I come from the Czech republic, but my family moved to Austria when I was 13. Next year I will move to England to go to university.

2. If you read my blog regularly, you will probably know this, but this time I am bringing you evidence :) I love music. I sing in a rock band, I write my own songs (lyrics especially), I played the violin since I was 5 years old (but I stopped when I was 11 or so), I have been a member of a choir for about 8 years, I was in an Austrian Christmas musical (read about it here!) and I now take lessons with an amazing opera singer from the US.


Enjoy the boob shots in this one :D

 

Also, even though my voice is actually quite low, I am a soprano. When I sing rock, I switch to my lowest register though, so that's why in those two videos I showed you, you can't hear that. Also, when I sing rock, I don't use the proper technique -.-

3. I'm scared of sharks. At all. I actually get quite paranoid when swimming in the sea, even if it's in Greece near the beach or something. What if?! I do like snakes though.

4. I had to laugh when I saw Marcela's list and I must copy one thing - I pretend to text when I'm in an awkward situation.

5. I never watch TV. I really don't like it, I feel like it seriously brainwashes people. I don't like music videos too much either, I don't like how they oversexualize everything (no, I'm not a grandma ;)). I especially hate series. I much prefer reading.

15qeyhh

6. I can't say that I'm not a girly girl, but I hate chick flicks and romances. It's not that I'm not romantic, I just don't like being cheesy. On that note, I am actually very romantic, but in a more unconventional way.

7. I can never stay mad at people. It doesn't take that much to make me angry, but I usually snap out of being mad within 10 minutes. My mood changes really fast. On the other hand, I am quite conservative in most things regarding my relationships with people. I like to settle and have some real stability - I've been together with the same amazing guy since I was 15 and we're still madly in love :))

PS: Mé drahé české čtenářky, v levém sloupku je teď tlačítko, které vám umožní číst můj blog hezky česky. Překlad není ideální, ale dá se pochopit :))
