White Lies





Last night I was out with my sister and friends. While we were hanging out on Bagdat Avenue on the first day of the Candy Fest, I was sporting this plain white jumpsuit - one of my favorite items of this summer. 

Dün gece kardeşim ve arkadaşlarımla Bağdat Caddesi'ndeydik. Bayramın birinci günüydü, herkese iyi bayramlar :)

Taksim!


Taksim is by far my favorite place in Istanbul. It's always hectic and crowded, but I love all the colors on people and around, people with original styles, various languages you can hear while walking 'cause it's a huge tourist attaction. There are also these passage bazaars where I used to visit frequently when I was a student, as you can find crazy outfits, shoes and accessories at very reasonable prices, and I still go have a walk around in my favorite bazaars, which are Atlas and Halep, to find pretty clothes and original jewelry. On this picture, I am at the balcony of Nosta Café in the newly opened mall - Demirören, wearing my favorite pants! Favorite pants in the favorite spot!

Hep Türkçe de yazmayı planlıyorum, ama unutup duruyorum :( İşte blogumdaki ilk Türkçe yazım :) 
Taksim! İstanbul'un en sevdiğim yeri. Arkadaşlarımla mı buluşacağım: "2.00'de Burger King'in önünde!" Kızlarla mojito gecesi yapacaksak, tek adresimiz Asmalımescit'teki Corner. Sabaha kadar dans edeceksek, yerli ve yabancı pop Çınaraltı'nda. Tabii bir de pasajlar var, en sevdiklerim Atlas ve Halep. Buralara özellikle öğrenciyken çok gelirdim, o zamanki tarzıma daha çok hitap ediyordu, ha bir de cebimizde beş kuruş  yoktu :) Yine de hala zaman zaman uğrar, sevimli giysiler ve orijinal takılar bulurum. Bu fotoğrafta yeni açılan Demirören'de bulunan Nosta Café'nin balkonundayım. Demirören hakkındaki tartışmalar devam ededursun, bu balkondan İstiklal'i izlemek paha biçilemez, üstelik fotoğraf çekmek için de harika!

Saturday DIY: Gold and silver chain bracelet



This summer I'm obsessed with chains, beads and friendship bracelets. Inspired from the beautiful bracelet above from the Giles S/S '11 collection, I made my own gold-and-silver chain bracelet. It's very easy to make: You just need various sizes of silver and gold colored chains, a few clips and multihole chain holder - I used a 5-hole holder - and pliers. Here's how it's made:


Cut the chains in the length that suits your wrist and attach them to the holders using clips in the size order you want:


Next, attach the clamp - or whatever it's called - using clips:


That's it!




Easy, yet gorgeous!
