Brooke White

Hey Friends,
how are you?
It's been a crazy week;
went to Disneyland on Tuesday for the second time in my life!
That place is really the happiest place on earth!
i had so so so much fun,
but i'm still recovering from the adventure...

Well, the drawing today is of American Idol Star Brooke White.
I was completely blown away and flattered when she was nice enough to tweet about my work yesterday.
I hope you like the painting.
Please check out her music!
:)

White Denim --- trend alert

white denim is so "in" this summer.Its not so common and very frequent here in istanbul (I mean I don't see many people wearing white denim in the streets of İstanbul).If you are searching for how to wear it examples I found out that Kate Moss and Kate Bosworth are fans and trendsetters of this newcomer trend).I also found a picture of Turkish vintage boutique owner Ahu Yağtu's picture in white denim.Its summer and I'm not a big fan of wearing thight jeans in HOT Istanbul weather so I skip.But if you are into white denim give it a try...

Wild Berries... Going by Bicycle -Topshop Chictopia Bicycle Contest

Sharing with you some photos from a couple of days ago. I'm off to go pick wild blackberries... which is one of my all time favorite summer time things to do! I'm eating delcious apricots from the farmers market until I get myself to the berry patches.

If you've been enticed to go check out the Chictopia Topshop Bike Giveaway contest , well you might have noticed my photos over there. I jumped in the contest just a couple of days ago.

I posted this back in June, but wasn't paying attention and thought the contest ran for just one week. When I went back to see who the winners were I found all sorts of our favorite chic bicycle bloggers with their lovely pictures posted. I learned the contest runs until July 17th!

I'm so impressed with how many young ladies are keen to ride bicycles! I keep meeting more and more Chictopians via this contest who are genuinely intrigued with the chic and the bicycle riding thing. It's all so fresh and quite unlike 'preaching to the choir'.

Any question about joining Chictopia and getting in on the contest? Let me know. Or don't want to submit photos, that's fine too you may still want to vote.

Return again and again to the fresh + summery combination of green and white -- always seem to fall in love with green at this time of year . . .
