VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- VALLETTA

Image
 Hello! In this post, we shall explore, Valletta, a city of incredibly rich history. Besides it being the capital of Malta, Valletta is one of the most concentrated historical sites in the world. Simply a dream place for a historical lover like myself. Apart from being a historical landmark like no other, Valletta is simply amazingly beautiful.  VALLETTA! THE BEAUTY, THE STRENGHT AND THE HISTORY During my stay in Malta, I visited Valetta a couple of times. My first visit was my friend Ivana, who was simply an ideal host. She was my guide and showed me a around. We've had such an amazing time strolling Valletta together. My other visits to Valletta were by myself. I strolled around the city and marvelled at how beautiful it was. I remember having an espresso by myself in a small cafe. Everyone called me 'mademoiselle' for some reason. Maybe they thought I was French. I get asked if I'm French sometimes, I think it's just something that people say when they can't

VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- (PART TWO - SOLO HIKES)

I'm back with another post from Malta! In this post, I'll share more hiking tales from the stunningly gorgeous island Malta. In case you missed my first post about Malta, I'll leave the link below:  VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- THE CLIFFS (PART ONE) I spent a lot of my time on Malta just hiking! No wonder I loved my stay there so much.  How lucky was I! Not only did I get to visit this utterly gorgeous island, I also got to hike it for hours. Moreover, during my hikes, I felt like I was able to connect with Malta on a deeper level by exploring it with calm and patience.  As I said, I visited a friend on Malta, so I stayed with her. At that time, she was renting a rather lovely home from an old granny.  It wasn't a touristy place, and it was about thirty minutes bus drive from Valetta.

FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: FANTASY VIBES (SKETCHES)

Image
 Hi, there! In this post, I'll share some of my fashion illustration sketches. It's nothing too ambitious, basically just a few drawings I made recently. It's been a while since my last Friday Fashion Illustration.  Fashion Illustration Friday used to be a regular feature on my blog, but the fact that all art posted online automatically gets stolen by AI put me of from posting my art, even sketches. I still do commissions and sell my art from time to time. I have some commission orders that are waiting for Summer when I'll have more free time. Art is still a part of my life, I just don't post about it that much. I mean I don't do art full time, but I try to make time for art in my life. Sometimes a five minute sketch is enough to breathe some inspiration into our life. At the moment, five minutes is sometimes the best I can do.  MORE POSTS FROM THIS CATEGORY:  FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: SPRING STYLING 2023 Let's TALK illustration.  Sometimes I illustrate i
