The Inspiration T(H)REE

Each Wednesday -on the 3rd day of week- I share 3 inspirational photos. 

Those might be the photos of food, fashion, people, art or any view from my window... 

My aim is to create an inspiration tree for the week.

Let those photos inspire us to make
- our lives more colorful,
- our week more stress-free,
- our selves more productive, happy and full of love. 

This week, the inspiration comes from a fun and colorful brand: LittleMissMatched 

I just came across this brand while in Chicago and totally loved it !
They sell socks that do not match :)
They believe that matching is mundane and boring.
On the contrary, mixing is monumental and color is COOL :)

Here, you can buy socks in odd numbers. Or just buy a jar full with socks :)
Then decide which ones to wear ! So it`s up to your creativity how to mix your socks.

And they also sell SMELLY socks :)
They have sweetly scented socks. My favorites are vanilla and floral scented ones.

LittleMissMatched also started to `think outside the sock`.
In addition to socks, now they create tshirts, accessories, pijamas, flip flops and so on.

Loved the motto of LittleMissMatched:
You can be a kid forever. Be BOLD,  Fashion is FUN !

Let`s see the world as a big CUPCAKE;)







1) As you imagine, my favorite ones are the Cupcake Socks :)





2) Marvelous Ice Cream Knee High Socks
They are Vanilla scented :) So yummy...



3) Colorful Over The Knee Socks




Have a Cupcake inspired Wednesday !!!

Celebrating Blue Monday * Pazartesi Sendromu Tedavisi

When sun is shining, it gets difficult to sit inside the office on Mondays.
Nowadays, I feel Monday Syndrome more than ever.
The best thing to beat the Monday Syndrome is to start daydreaming on our next summer vacation.
I close my eyes and imagine myself on the beach.
And realize that I need a huge beach bag to put all my stuff in.
Something big enough for my sunglasses, sun cream, ipod, water bottle, fruits, towel, books & magazines etc...
This week, I will survive Monday Blues browsing beach bags :)
Which one to choose ???
Have a Cupcake sweet Monday !!!

Gunes parlarken, Pazartesileri kapali ofiste oturmak daha da zorlasiyor.
Son gunlerde, Pazartesi Sendromunu daha cok hissediyorum.
Sanirim, Pazartesi Sendromunu atlatmanin en iyi yolu yaklasmakta olan yaz tatilinin hayalini kurmak.
Gozlerimi kapatip kendimi plajda hayal ediyorum.
Ve farkediyorum ki tum esyalarimi alabilecek kocaman bir plaj cantasina ihtiyacim var.
Gunes gozlukleri, gunes kremi, ipod, su sisesi, meyva, havlu, kitap ve dergilerin sigabilecegi turden bir canta...
Bu hafta, Pazartesi Sendromunu plaj cantasi arayarak tedavi edecegim :)
Hangisini secsem ???
Cupcake tadinda bir Pazartesi diliyorum !!!

Magnolia Bakery


Tell the girls that I am back in town :) 
As usual I did not finish my trip without eating Cupcakes !!!
This time I guess I was more than lucky
and tasted the Cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery where the 1990s `Cupcake craze` has been started
Sex and the City fans would understand what I mean, right ???




After the busy scheduled Chicago NATO Summit, I awarded myself with yummy Cupcakes
@Magnolia Bakery Chicago




Let`s start with the decoration photos from inside the Bakery
This place looks like my dream kitchen : 1950s kitchen style patisserie
Old, simple and colorful vintage touch interior



and yes I definitely want to see this cabinet in my kitchen !



 You can also buy Cupcake themed aprons here :)




OK, now it`s time to look at the Cupcakes !!!
Which one to choose ???



Pastel colored ones or the Lemon Cupcakes ?


What about the Hummingbird Cupcakes ?
I will skip them this time
Bananas, pineapple, pecans with cream-cheese icing is too sweet for my taste :)


S`mores Cupcakes sounds fun !



 I have decided to go for the classic one: Red Velvet Cupcakes
And yes, I felt like Carry Bradshaw :)



And I enjoyed my Cupcake at my favorite place in Chicago 
across the Chicago skyline reflection at the Cloud Gate



Have a weekend as sweet as the Red Velvet Cupcakes!

Until then, stay as sweet as Cupcakes :)

This morning, I woke up with birds singing :)
Therefore, I feel Monday Blues less.
I suggest you to hear birds singing to handle Monday syndrome.
If you cannot be able to hear birds due to city`s grumble, use some bird themed accessories :)
What about Marc Jacob`s bird dress ???
Or a flying bird ring ???
Have a Cupcake sweet Monday !!!

Bu sabah kuslarin civilitisina uyandim :)
O nedenle, Pazartesi sendromunu daha az hissettim.
Bu hafta Pazartesi Sendromunu atlatmak icin kus seslerini dinlemeye ne dersiniz ?
Eger sehrin gurultusu kus seslerini duymanizi engelliyorsa, kuslu aksesuarlardan yardim alin.
Marc Jacobs`in kus desenli elbisesine ne dersiniz ???
Ya da ucan kuslu yuzuk ???
Cupcake tadinda bir Pazartesi diliyorum !!!

Let`s see the world as a big CUPCAKE;)



1) Pinocchio: one of my favorite childhood stories
This one has been welcoming the kids in front of a toy store in Vienna

2) My favorite coffee-house in Sarajevo/Bosnia-Herzegovina: Rahatlook
Rahatlook is an Ottoman word which means mental peace and tranquility.
It is something that cannot be bought by money;
but could be felt through small things in real life such as chatting with a friend, smiling to a baby... 
And Rahatlook is one of the cozy cafes that you can feel all here:)

3) Acqua di Mare
Saw those bottles while buying limoncello in Italy
Have not tasted but
Loved the blue color of those bottles :)
