Okay all you chic cyclists...there is a fun competition going on. TopShop and Chictopia are wanting the very best from you. Offer up the very best photo capturing you in your most stylish attire while riding your bicycle. Hurry this ends soon, like as in get your photo submitted SOON because TopShop's Bicycle Club started on June 20 and lasts for one week only!

EN MODA GENÇ TURKLER--MOST FASHIONABLE YOUNG TURKS-- my interview@Sabah Newspaper

I woke up at 07:00 am today(despite being soooo tired) and hell no I don't have to go to work today...It's because Sabah newspaper's fashion editor interviewed with 7 Most stylish Turkish young people and I'm one of them:) And the interview is pressed as headline of Sabah's saturday addition in fashion pages. We are the cover of Saturday addition and fashion pages' headline as "Most Fashionable Young Turks" in Lookbook. Its great cause I've always been into fashion and styling and now its becoming huge. My fashion blog istanbul fashion addict is also mentioned in my interview. In my picture I'm with my green flower dress(Kate Moss for Top Shop) and in group picture I wore a Zara dress and Elle high heels. Its great to be on Sabah's fashion pages.yay!!:)istanbulfashionaddict is becoming more and more trendy these days:)and I'm waiting for fashion magazines to discover me.LOL.

{happy weekend!}

This week was live music and late nights, grand openings and French wine -- and while last weekend was sunlit drives and waterfalls, this weekend will be a little more low-key: lounging and dinner reservations, time in the sun and falling, falling into beautiful exhaustion . . .

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
xo

{p.s.} a bit of a creative overflow this week -- some of the things you may have missed:

* chevrons + chandeliers
* lover the label
* pretty puppies
* a bouquet of butterflies
* travel inspiration
* pale & watery blues
* stunning

There's just something about this room -- sunny splashes of yellow, a peek of glamorous gold, the promise of a party . . .

{deepest midnight blue}

A little later than usual planning our first summer adventure -- destination still unknown -- although lounging in the middle of the deepest midnight blue waters near a sleepy town nestled beneath beautiful cliffs may be just the place . . .

{p.s.} a few lovely links:
* such a fun web design
* lovely lace floors
* ribbons & romance
* a pretty pink makeover
* a tiny summer cottage
* stunning at the beach

Samba Rock Acai Cafe

Enjoyed the best Acai Smoothie and Granola Bowl today over at the Samba Rock Acai Cafe. Thanks Vanessa and Ron for creating this stellar cafe! And Yes, you CAN bring your bicycle inside with you.

I was@Galatasaray.Today.

Today from Cihangir,I went to Galatasaray.There's a quick way to Galatasaray and you rush to Galatasaray in 5 minutes.. LOL.I even skipped Cezayir Sokağı because I was going to check out for a tee but I found and skipped the tee, and I went after a dress that I'm curious about the skirt ends.I bought a dress and I think its pretty on me.I know a place that sells cool design shoes.I've spotted so many new boutiques like second hand or design...I did't check them out.I was in a hurry.I checked out some stores in a rush.Oh why I did not frequent Bershka?I haven't checked out Bershka for a little while.I looked at the shoe shop's window but didn't pick one and we know I was in a rush.So I didn't check out whats inside the store.So I walked away.I have something on my mind about what to wear to One Love festival.Do I believe in love?One love or Free love?Like what Depeche Mode tells...

If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from

If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what youre thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of...

And when you don't want any more love bite...it's free love...

And shoe addiction is one love.Who doesn't love buying shoes?I'm waiting for big day saturday.I'll post later the big day saturday news.Tomorrow is friday and I'm looking forward to it:)

{a bouquet of butterflies}

Summer is flutters of pretty greens and citrus shades of fresh yellows and vibrant oranges intermingled with hazy whites drenched with floods of early morning sunlight . . . and there is just something about butterflies that make everything feel like a fairytale . . .
