Around the World Girls - Art Nouveau Weekend in Budapest

Have you ever considered visiting Budapest? Maybe you've even been before? Maybe you're planning a weekend there, but you're not sure what to see?

I'm so excited to announce a guest post I wrote and photographed for Ruth's blog, Flossy Blossom.
She has a great feature called Around the World Girls, where bloggers from all around the world introduce their country or city. I saw Titine and Totoche's Venezuela post and immediately got inspired to do a Budapest one.

I decided that it would be futile to try and feature every cool Budapest thing, (obviously there are too many of them :) so I chose a focus - Art Nouveau. This way I can show you some of my favourite places and also provide a whole weekend's entertainment for those who really plan to visit for a weekend. :)

Some places I included are the Museum of Applied Art...

Ruin pubs...

And my favourite, the Gellért Baths...

Visit Ruth's blog for more pictures and Art Nouveau things to do in Budapest!

Would you like to introduce your city too? Don't hesitate to contact her!

Thank you Ruth, for featuring my post. :)

Handmade... Books

I've been looking forward to trying my hand at making books for a long time, and finally I did, attending a workshop for 9 hours - these two lovelies are the result.

 

Well, if someone ever gives you a handmade blank book as a present, revere it (and them), as a lot of time and effort goes into making these. But they're absolutely worth it. :)

My models wear scrapbooking paper, H&M and Jojó Art Shop roses
and lounge around on my clothes. :)

On a different note, this is what I wore today. I'm so inspired by Art Nouveau patterns at the moment (as you can see above). I'm aware of this wrap dress not being truly Art Nouveau, but it reminds me of it - and that's more than enough for something thrifted for ridiculously cheap!

Thrifted dress, Chinese leggings, Joid'art necklace and the same pink Humanic shoes hiding in the grass.

 These are my first attempts at taking my own pictures - thus the uncomfortable look. :)

Oh, and look, now you can:
