Brittany and Normandy

Madem blogum artik sadece moda blogu degil uzun zamandir yapmayi planladigim postun tam vaktidir. Malum sirada hem benim icin hemde sizin icin surpriz olacak yerlerden postlar olacak. Elimi cabuk tutmam gerek. Sizlerle, blogumu acmadan bir once gezip gordugum ve beni cok etkileyen Britanya'nin denizci sehri St Malo ile Normandiya'nin muhtesem gel git adasi Mont Saint Michel anilarimi paylasmak istiyorum. Paris'ten yola ciktigimizda asil varis noktamiz Mont Saint Micheldi. Fakat bir gunluk bir St Malo molasi okyanusun ve dark sokaklarinin keyfini cikartmak icin gayet iyi bir sebepti. Simdi neredeyse 3 yil once ben nasil misim bakin bakalim :)

This blog is not just related with fashion anymore, so it's time to publish this post I've been planning for a long time. I want to share two impressive cities that I've been before I have this blog. One is the mariner city of Brittany, St. Malo and the other one is the amazing tidal island of Normandy, Mont Saint Michel. When we take the road from Paris, I was so curious about Mont Saint Michel and for me the real destination was Mont Saint Michel. But when we stop for a one day in St. Malo, I think it was a real reason to enjoy with the ocean and its narrow streets. So tell me how am I look like almost 3 years ago :) 



Beautiful view from our hotel room in St Malo

Here it is; Mont Saint Michel 






Ocean looks endless. Isn't it so peaceful ?




 And lastly, omlette of La Mere Poulard was unbelievable. You should definitely try if you go there one day.

Istanbul in History

Bugunlerde yaptigim siir, roman analizlerinden, yazdigim uzun uzun essaylerden olsa gerek uzuun uzuun yazilar yazmak gelmiyor artik icimden. Klavyeye dusman oldum resmen o yuzden bu postun yazisi da kisa olacak ama bildiginiz Istanbul iste. Pazartesini ikimizin de ekmis olmasi sendromu biraz hafifletse de yeniden ayrilacak olmamiz gercegini degistirmiyordu malesef. Neyse biz ciktik Karakoy'den Eminonu'ne ne kadar tarihi camii varsa gezdik dolastik sonra baktik ki daha gunumuzun yarisi duruyor, atladik vapura bulduk kendimizi Kuzguncuk'ta. Donuste de Karakoy Lokantasina ugramayi ihmal etmedik tabiiki.

Nowadays, I don't feel like writing long lines. I think it's because of the poem and novel analysis that I've made recently. I don't want to keep in touch my keyboard for a while so I'm not gonna write long text for this post. Although skipping monday sooth our syndrome, there was a realty that we can not deny ; it was our last day. Anyway, we started from Karakoy to Eminonu and visited almost all historical mosques. It was almost half of the day, so took the ferry and we found ourselves in Kuzguncuk. On the way back of course we didn't forget to have wonderful dinner in Karakoy Lokantasi.



Let's start with the wonderful breakfast at BANK

Spring in Istanbul

Sanirim verdigim arayi biraz abarttim ve bence bu konuya "ogrenci olmanin dayanilmaz hafifligi veya agirligi" diyerekten bir son verip, guzel Istanbul'umla sizleri basbasa birakmanin tam vakti diyorum. Bahar geliyor, okul bitiyor ve ben hedeflerime biraz daha yaklastikca daha mutlu bir insan oluyorum. Ve tabi ki eger hedefleriniz varsa bu hedefler beraberinde ciddi bir calismayi gerektiriyor ve ben suanda tam da o ciddi calisma evresindeyim, vakit buldukca da buralardayim veya ailemle ve arkadaslarimla oldugum her hangi bir yerde baharin tadini cikartiyorum. Sanirim bu kisa aranin sebebi simdi daha iyi anlasildi. Hepinize mutlu bir bahar diliyorum !

I guess I exaggerate this break but anyway let's call it as " the unbearable lightness or dullness of being student". I think it's time to have a little walk on Istanbul streets. But before I'd like to mention that spring is here, school is almost end and I'm getting closer to my goals by the day so which makes me a happier person. But as you know if you have goals with which bring lots of responsibilities , that means you have a lot to do. So, I'm exactly at that point. Trying hard. So I think everything is clear now bait this little break. But I'll be here when I find time or  I'll be enjoying spring in somewhere with my family and friends. So, wish you the same, a happy spring ! 


Who can say no to this view as soon as wake up 

 Then, morning surprise a box of macaron. Ok, not a big fan of Laduree but as a person crazy about small boxes, I can't say no to this beautiful green one :)

C'est JB ! 

Turkey's historical background imprintings over x-ray by Hale Tenger is one of the exhibitions must be seen in Arter . 

Too old school but one of the classics of Istiklal Street. 

Then we found ourselves in Istanbul Modern to see Past and Future exhibition.

Now we are ready for the nice dinner in Kalpazankaya Restaurant in Burgazada. 

But I should say for those who want to go to the restaurant as you see they have amazing view but not good service. So it's better to go and just have drink on sunset.
