here is just a little note to tell you that I'll be very soon back at blogging,but for another day or two I've got some things to organize... I'm a bit stressed out,so I don't have a clear mind to write a pretty little post...
I send you all a strong hug and I wish you a good time.
since very recently I decided to be part of the Slovenian bloggers group.Every week a girl named Mateja prepares a nice post with links to a post from the bloggers in this group.
We should then share this post on our blog.
Unfortunately,I'm not able to paste this post on my blog.Of course,I'll try to solve this problem,but in the meanwhile please check the link above.
You might discover some pretty cool Slovenian bloggers :)!
today I'd like to present to you a recipe for a very tasty banana cocktail.This cocktail is very rich in its taste and consistency,so I'd suggest it on its own as a special afternoon treat,maybe if you have some girlfriends over for a chat and you'd like to offer something sweet and that isn't the usual chocolate... It also would make a great sweet surprise for your loved one.You know,you've got to keep it sweet :)!

This serves one person.
Ingredients:
Juice of 1 orange.(Here I used the juice of 1 minneola,because when I was looking for oranges in my local supermarket they had only old ones that looked more brown than orange :).Anyway,the minneola was perfectly fine!)
1 very ripe banana.
1 egg yolk.
1 teaspoon of honey.
Some chopped walnuts.
How to make it:
Before starting to make the cocktail I like to put in a nice glass 1 or 2 ice cubes and let them melt a bit.This makes the cocktail more fine and fresher.
Put all the ingredients except the walnuts in a blender and mix until very smooth.
Put the cocktail in the glass and garnish with some chopped walnuts.
And voilà the cocktail is ready!Serve with a teaspoon and lots of love :)...

69. ‘Then eat of every kind of fruit, and follow the ways of thy Lord that have been made easy for thee.’ There comes forth from their bellies a drink of varying hues. Therein is cure for men. Surely, in that is a Sign for a people who reflect.

I hope you are doing fine.I am sending some cuteness your way to wish you a very good month of April. This is my cat Chichi and even though usually she does not like to cuddle,here she was trying to win the attention of a friend of mine back in January.Chchi is as cunning as a fox.Especially when there is a lot of food around.Who knows,maybe she is a fox in disguise :o)! I am a bit under stress lately,so I managed to get to my blog for my -first day of the month- post only today.In this way I just wanted to send you warm greetings,hugs and kisses :o)! I will be back with my regular posting sometime next week.
I ain't a fashion blogger,but I sure am a fashion dreamer :) !

Last week I was dreaming of a beautiful friday night spent at a fashion show of four Slovene fashion designers.I'm being modest here,because not only was I dreaming,but I was so over the moon excited that I couldn't even sleep properly.I was dreaming of a big crowd and glittering lights in one of my favorite bowling/disco clubs (Planet) ever,of meeting fashion bloggers from Slovenia,of seeing extravagantly dressed fashion connoisseurs and of going there on my own - because how on earth would I'd explained to anybody that I have this blog of mine,where I'm trying to make some fashion posts and that finally I've got the possibility to attend a fashion show.Only a few of my friends know that I blog,but it really takes to have a blog to understand how much work is involved into writing a decent post.The point is,I wasn't going to go there to party,but to "work"!
Unfortunately,none of the above happend.Well,of course,I went to the fashion show - I wouldn't had missed it for nothing in the world,but things didn't go as in my dreams.Don't get me wrong,it was a marvellous night,but it wasn't as I'd expected it.
To start with,I went there with my mother (who actually thanks to her work in a tourist association got the above invitation just three days before the fashion show...I was going to go just by paying the entrance - yes,God's ways are strange sometimes,but they always turn out to be the right ones),a friend of hers and a friend of mine.That's just the way it happened... I enjoyed their company very much though!You can guess they were very surprised when they saw me taking so many pictures (they don't know about my blog),but to their -whys- I just answered with a curt -because- and it was fine like that.They let me do my thing...
However,the bigest problem turned out to be the fact that I was miserable at using the camera.I don't know that little thing enough and before friday night I seriously had thought it was perfectly O.K. to have it on the automatic mode.To hell with automatic mode!The models were walking so fast that I couldn't catch them with my eyes,let alone with the camera.I knew from watching the fashion shows on the TV that they are a fast thing,but I'd never imagined how fast they could really go.Then I understood somehow that the models stop for a while to show even better an attire,but the usually by me adored disco lights became so disturbing to my eyes that I lost the perception of light and of what was really happening on the catwalk.
I started to panic!I felt like a poor little thing and looking at all the professional photographers taking pictuers with such ease certainly didn't help.Thus I excuse myself to you my sweeties and to the fashion designers for such a bad quality of my pictures,but please take them just as they are and let me assure you that I'll get better at taking them.Now I've got the biggest respect possible for all the fashion bloggers who take such perfect pictures.How do you do it?Any tips and tricks?
The next thing is that there was no crowd there and not even a sight of a fashion blogger or of an extravagant fashion addict.I was so upset by this that I started to feel a bit stupid,because it seemed as if the week before I'd been the only person in the world really excited for this event.What a pitty I thought,because the event was so nicely organized with some music*** and dancing inserts (by the dencing school Kazina),too.At one point,all discouraged,I turned off the camera,returned to my mother and our friends,and I simply tried to enjoy the dancing parts and the final walk of all the models.For that night I was done with taking pictures and I was ready to finish it in tranquillity with some wine and canapés provided by the event organizers.
Last and certainly not the least thing that truly shocked me,was discovering that while I was trying to take the pictures of the models,I started to miss terribly just having fun.The fact that I couldn't comment the clothes with my friend - because I had to take my pictures - ,the lively music and the colorful lights,made me feel like being in a pastry shop,but not being able to have some sweets.It was so that I realised that documenting a fashion show is like a "job" where you have to be concentrated at all the details regarding a clothing line and at everything that is happening on the catwalk - without being distracted by the show in itself!Next time I've got to organize myself better,be more focused and be more firm in the use of the camera.
Yet today I think I really had a special night,because learning new things and putting yourself out of your comfort zone is always good.
With this being said,please enjoy the fashion show as much as this is possible and check the links to the websites of the fashion designers.The pictures there are perfect - of course!
But,first things first :o) ...
The fashion show was hosted by Lorella Flego,who has a very famous TV show about fashion named Bleščica (Glitter) on the Slovene national TV and the music inserts*** were by Hannah Mancini who is going to represent us on the Eurovision Song Contestthis upcoming May in Malmö,Sweden.She's American,married to a Slovene man,very nice and edgy.Before the fashion show I didn't know her well,nor did I know the song she's going to sing on the Eurovesion Song Contest,but later I found an interview with her on the net where she said that she likes to work with our famous techno DJ-s (like Umek for example) and being a great fan of techno music myself she completely got me. I wish her all the best in Malmö!
Living in a small country like Slovenia,it's very interesting how close the celebrities can be. I could see Lorella and Hannah so well not only because it wasn't crowdy that night,but because that's normal in Slovenia.You can easily see the celebrities walking on the streets of our cities and there's no big fuss about it.I've always found this to be so cool!
Straight Into Love,the song Hannah Mancini is going to sing at the Eurovision Song Contest.
There's definitely a techno vibe to it!
I'd say,put some music on and see the fashion show :o) ...

URŠA DROFENIK
In the middle Tjaša Kokalj,Miss Universe of Slovenia 2007.
Thus far that's all my sweeties,but I'll leave you with a -to be continued-,because you should know that the Planet Fashion Night was only a part of a two day long fashion goings-on at the
Planet Tuš Shopping Center in Koper.
The next day I went back there (this time on my own) and I not only saw some Slovene jewelry,accessories and shoe makers with their fantastic collections,but I also met a very famous Slovene fashion blogger.Yes,it happend,my dears and I was so happy about it that afterwards I was more than merry - I went to the moon and back!But,about her and her work,as well as about the above handicraftsmen I'll tell you more in the next weeks.I promise you that you'll be amazed by their work!
Are you a fashion blogger?
No?
No problem sweetie,you can be a fashion dreamer :) !
21 The first thing in life is water, and bread, and clothing, and a house for the sake of privacy.
THE HOLY QURAN (Surah 11.Hud (a prophet of ancient Arabia),Verses 3-5)
3. And that you seek forgiveness of your Lord, and then turn to Him. He will provide for you a goodly provision until an appointed term. And He will grant His grace to every one possessed of merit. And if you turn away, then surely, I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day.
4. To Allah is your return; and He has power over all things.
5. Now surely, they fold up their breasts that they may hide themselves from Him. Aye, evenwhen they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Surely, He is well aware of what is in theirbreasts.
