It was from my fellow blogger Mary,  Fashion tea at 5.
Cupcake thanks to Mary !!!
As you can easily guess from her blog`s name, Mary loves shopping and tea ;)
Mary lives in Tuscany, Italy.
I like reading her posts on fashion, daily life in Tuscany and travels.
Mary organized a great Christmas/New Year Gift swap among her followers.
Here are my Cupcake gifts ;)

Celebrating Blue Monday * Pazartesi Sendromu Tedavisi

As holidays season arrives, celebrating Blue Monday becomes easier.
Whether you celebrate Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years or not,
one cannot stay away from the joy in the air.
Sharing joy will be this week`s tip to celebrate Blue Monday.

Mailing -and of course receiving- holiday cards is one of my favorite activities.
Before or after work, what about going and sitting on a local coffee shop?
And let`s start writing holiday cards for the family, friends and fellow bloggers/followers.
Send your best wishes and hopes for the new year...
Sharing your joy will make it bigger and bigger.

Let your friends think how to exhibit all the postcards they received!
Hint: they can always proudly exhibit by stapling them on a ribbon.
Or it is better to use colorful clothespins;)

Have a Cupcake sweet Monday!!!

Yeni yıl yaklaştıkça, Pazartesi Sendromunu atlatmak da kolaylaşıyor.

Noeli/ışık bayramını/yılbaşını kutlasanız da kutlamasanız da havadaki neşe sizi de etkileyecektir.

Pazartesi Sendromunu atlatmak için önerim neşeyi ve sevinci paylaşmanız.

Yılbaşı kartı yazıp göndermeyi –ve tabiki de bana gönderilmesini- çok seviyorum.

Bugün iş çıkışı veya öncesinde sevdiğiniz kafede oturup ailenize, arkadaşlarınıza, 

blogger arkadaş ve takipçilerinize kart yazmaya ne dersiniz?

Neşeyi ve sevincinizi paylaşmak, onları daha da çoğaltıcak.

Sizin gönderdiğiniz kartları nasıl sergileyeceklerini de bırakın arkadaşlarınız düşünsünler!

ipucu: her zaman kartları uzun bir kurdeleye zımbalayabilirler.

Ya da en iyisi renkli mandallarla ipe dizmek;)

Cupcake tadında bir Pazartesi diliyorum!!!

Sweater Dresses * Kazak Elbiseler

Sweater dresses are my life savers during cold weather.

I like using long sweaters as dresses.
You can wear them with leggings or colorful tights.
Being stylish and feeling cozy is possible with sweater dresses.
Here are my picks for Cupcake Sweater Dresses for this winter;)
Which one is the most Cupcake???
Stay warm!!!

          *                 *               *

Kazak elbiseler her kış hayat kurtarıcım olmuştur.
Uzun kazakları elbise olarak kullanmayı çok seviyorum.
Uzun kazakları hem taytla hem de renkli çoraplarla giyebilirsiniz.
Kazak elbiselerle hem şık hem de sıcacık olmak mümkün.
Bu kış için Cupcake kazak elbiseler seçtim;)
Sizce en Cupcake hangisi???
Sıcacık kalın!!!

Cupcake Fashion

Last Sunday, we had brunch at Divan in Cer Modern.
Cer Modern is one of my favorite places in Ankara.
Once an old maintenance hall for railway wagons,
Cer Modern now serves as a contemporary art museum.  
I find its minimalist yet industrial design adorable.

I really like being surrounded by art.
After visiting two exhibitions at the museum, we did Cupcake Fashion shoot;)
At the background, you will see sculptures of Jorge Marrin and 
Mercan Dede`s `Army of Lovers` Exhibition.
I will make a post on the exhibitions soon.

But, now, it`s Cupcake Fashion moment;)
Enjoy!!!

Halloween Cupcakes

Halloween is lurking around the corner;)
Halloween has been one of my favorite festive seasons.
Love Halloween activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties and carving jack-o`-lanterns.
A couple of years ago, we had a great Halloween Party at our home in Chicago.
Take a peek on our Halloween Party;)
Beware this Halloween!!!

Here are my deliciously scary Halloween Cupcakes...

 Would you like a bite from Vampire Bat Cupcake? 

Or what about Wicked Witch Cupcake?

http://gonchagoncha.blogspot.com/

I am brave enough to taste Wicked Witch Cupcake;)

Btw, did you like my Afro wig? My hubby finds it scary;)

http://gonchagoncha.blogspot.com/

Our Halloween Party Table is full with orange and black elements.

And of course, we have Halloween Scarecrow at the center of the table.

Cool party guests usually hang out in the kitchen as it is close to the booze;)

Julius Caesar seems like texting to Senate.

 One of the funniest Halloween Costumes: inflatable ostrich costume

http://gonchagoncha.blogspot.com/

This costume is equally funny, what do you think?

http://gonchagoncha.blogspot.com/

Are you ready for Halloween? Any party ideas?

Try to find scary or funny Halloween Costume;)
If I can find our Halloween Costumes box somewhere,
we will go to the Halloween Party at our local pub.

Happy Halloween!
