In Full Bloom

A little round up of this year's spring blooms. I must say spring arrived so late and has been the coldest I can remember since I've been here, in the States. I guess this delay made us appreciate the beauty of the spring season even more. So here we go -- a mix of various blossoms and greenery in Georgetown and around DC, and the unknown fruits and fairy-tale flower installations at Longwood Gardens which we visited back in March. They had the Orchid Extravaganza going on at that time which was spectacular! I strongly encourage my Maryland, Virginia and DC readers (and everyone else of course!) to visit this gorgeous place. It will take your breath away, I promise! It's about 2 hour drive from DC.

Hope you are having a great week! xo

Blue Poppies -- so precious!

It's Cherry Blossom Time

Despite the hectic schedule during the week, Michael and I managed to go to see the cherry blossoms early Thursday morning. Needless to say how happy I was to see all the gorgeous blooming trees around the Tidal Basin. The weather has been absolutely incredible this week, and I got to wear my new J. Crew dress. Only later I realized that the lacy flowers on my dress look absolutely identical to the flowers on the cherry trees! What a coincidence. 

Hope you've had a wonderful week and enjoying your weekend. xo

Secret Garden

Incredible view from our patio (first picture). And other lovely blossoms that I captured over the last couple of weeks. I hope it's beautiful where you are :) xo

Вот такая красота видна из нашего окна (первая фотография). И ещё немного фотографий других цветущих деревьев. Надеюсь, что там где вы, так же красиво :) хо

Blossoms

Hello, lovelies! Just a quick hello and some pictures of cherry blossoms :) All the pictures were taken a week ago, now all the blossoms are gone. And I can't even think of wearing shorts since it's so cold today! I hope you all have been well, talk to you later. xo

Забежала поздороваться и показать цветущие вишни :) Фотографии были сделаны неделю назад, сейчас все цветы опали. И даже шорты сегодня уже не оденешь - холодно! Надеюсь, что у вас всё хорошо. хо

Happy Spring!

Happy first day of spring! Everything is blooming these days which makes me oh-so-happy. Luckily, I don't have any allergies so I can enjoy all the blossoms :) I'll try to post some pictures of all the pretty flowers later this week. For now I'll leave you with some snaps of my afternoon with a Raspberry Macaron Cake (I found it at Trader Joe's and it's quite delicious). 

Wishing you a lovely week! xo

С весной вас! (по календарю весна наступила только сегодня хотя весенняя погода установилась у нас уже давно) Вокруг всё цветёт и пахнет. В буквальном смысле слова - цветёт абсолютно всё! К счастью у меня нет аллергии на цветы и пыльцу, поэтому все цветущие деревья и кустарники доставляют только радость :) Постараюсь на этой неделе разместить фотографии всей той красоты, что творится вокруг. А сейчас убегаю и оставляю вас с кадрами послеобеденного кофе и малинового торта (случайно нашла его в Trader Joe's, оказался на удивление вкусным).

Удачной недели! хо

Flowers For You

Some flowers for you, lovelies :) so you know that spring is right around the corner. Have a fabulous weekend! xo

А у меня для вас цветы :) маленькое напоминание o том, что наступает весна. Отличных выходных! И не забудьте проголосовать ;) хо

"I forgot that I might see so many beautiful things"

Hi guys! I decided to share some random pictures with you today. I usually upload pictures with my outfits but I take so many pictures of other things, and I think I should upload them here as well! 

I was outside the other day and literally everything is blooming here now. Every single tree and bush! :)

So here are the pictures of my breakfast and blooming trees. Have a lovely day!

Cherry Blossom

Hello everyone :) I finally have the feeling of the spring time! And all because of the cherry blossom trees. Cherry Blossom is one of my most favorite events of the year :) It became a tradition for me to go to the Tidal Basin to watch these beautiful blooming trees every spring. I must say it is especially important this year.  The gift of 3000 cherry trees was from the Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo to the city of Washington, DC in 1912. The gift honors the lasting friendship between the United States and Japan.

I'm glad we went to see the cherries yesterday when it was sunny and beautiful. Guess what? Today is ridiculously cold, dark and rainy :) 

I hope everyone is having a good week! Kisses.
