FLYING: Bologna

Hi everyone,

First of all I would like to thank you very much for the sweet words. My mum is still in the hospital working hard on her recovery and hopefully next week she will be going home. I really miss her alot, the house is very empty without her. She is also the one who photographs all my outfits, therefor the lack of updates on this blog. I can't describe how much I love her and how much I want her to get better. And when she's home, my brother and I bought her a lovely suprise which we hope she'll love.

After a busy week I'm now flying for 5 days, first nightstop in Alesund. Not alot of time though, but that's allright. I try to relax a little bit and work on my blog. These photos are from last week, when I was in Bologna, one of my favorite cities. It's also the day my mum went to the hospital. Sometimes my job as a flight attendant is not a lot of fun when you want to go home quickly but you can't. Anyway, I'm wearing a thrifted top and shorts and my cute shoes are from Flossy. What do you think?

FLYING: Vintage in Bologna

Hi sweethearts,

I already mentioned it a thousand of times: Bologna is by far my most favorite nightstop destination! I request this nightstop all the time. Not only because of the amazing shops and food but most of all for the great weather! Besides that, every friday and saturday there is a really cool vintage flea market!

Inspired by the vintage market on the main square in Bologna, I decided enjoy the last days of summer and wear my 'new' vintage dress which I found in the thriftstore a couple of weeks ago. I really, REALLY love this dress, I'm so happy I found it for just 5 euro, so I had to wear it and I can't wait till next summer! Anyway, enough about thrifting, my day in Bologna was filled with food, food and even more food. I had a big pasta lunch and a slice of pizza as dinner. Heaven!

FLYING: Bologna

Bologna oh Bologna. Finally I'm back. I was already afraid that it would be a summer without Italy, but thank goodness Bologna was on my roster, with plenty of time to spend!

But it was sunday, during the summer holidays, and the city was basically empty. No market, no shops, nothing! But there was delicious food and beautiful buildings, so I hope you like the pictures :)

FLYING: Verjaardag in Bologna

I really wanted to celebrate my birthday in the city I love the most: Bologna. But it was the day after my birthday (25th of april) when we arrived in Italy. So after changing into our summer outfits really quickly (it was 26 degrees!) we went to Drogheria Della Rossa for my birthday lunch.

It's my favorite place to be, Italy and especially Bologna and specifically Drogheria Della Rossa. :) The food is great and the wine is amazing. Thanks to Emanuelle, the owner, my birthday was amazing! And the crew ofcourse, without them it was just a normal day. So thanks again!

FLYING: Bologna

I wrote a couple of posts about Bologna. Simply because it's my all time favorite destination. I try to request a Bologna nightstop one a month. It's the food, the people, the fashion, the drinks. Bologna has it all.

And the most amazing thing about Bologna is the friday and saturday fleamarket. Every week! Amazing clothes, I already bought a lot of things from there, true vintage and really, REALLY cheap! I went to Bologna last saturday, but the weather was hideous. It was raining and there was a thunderstorm as well. So we enjoyed a good red wine and some nice parma ham in a local trattoria.

In between the rainshowers I went to the flea market and bought a blue dress, a cute blouse and a vintage Levi's 501. I also took a couple of pictures, which I hope you like!

FLYING: Kerst in Bologna

From -10 degrees in Trondheim to a foggy +5 degrees in Bologna. We arrived around noon in Bologna on the 25th of december, first day of christmas. I made a reservation in a well known italian restaurant Vicolo Colombina for a delicious christmas lunch.

It was a 20 minute walk from the hotel to the restaurant, and the streets were basically empty. No cars or busses, just a few people strolling around. The main square in Bologna (with a special fountain, check my pictures below) was a bit more crowded. There was a huge christmas tree, but it was not a very beautiful one.

For the lunch we started with some italian goodies: parma ham, parmazan cheese and other delicious meats to share. My first course was the famous 'tagliatella bolognese', from Bologna of course. As a main dish, I had the restaurants special 'christmas' dish: sausages with veggies and mashed potatoes. It was a lot of delicious food, combined with a nice red wine. It was a perfect, relaxed christmas afternoon. We ended the day with a drink in the hotel room, since it was quite cold outside. Perfect christmas, and luckily my crew was amazing! Thanks again guys. This trip will definitely make it to my top 3 list of best trips for work!

FLYING: Bologna

Well hello my dear little sweethears,
I hope you are all fine. It has been a while, again, I know and I'm sorry for that. I was on reserve duty and they called me out every day of my 5 day week. And with the snowfall in the Netherlands, things didn't go as planned. But they nightstops were okay and the crew was great as well.

They called me for just a single flight to Bologna and only back to Amsterdam the next day, that was a luxurious trip for me! I hardly ever do just 1 flight a day, most of the time 2, 3 or 4. So in Bologna we had a little get-together in the hotel room. The next morning I got a call that our pick up time was delayed and so I had an hour extra to spend in my favorite Italian city. I decided to go out and ran into a small christmas market at a square close to our hotel. I strolled around and enjoyed the beautiful bright sky and the comfortable temperature of something around 10 degrees celcius (that's not too bad for this time of the year).

And fortunately I'll be going back to Bologna SOON. I'm there on the 25th of december (christmas) and still looking for a restaurant which is actually open. Do you dolls have tips for me maybe? See you soon!

I don't think I've ever explained how much I love Italy, right? No, just kidding. When you look at my previous posts, you can defenitely tell how much I adore it! And thank goodness for Bologna on my roster, AGAIN! Yes I've been there quite alot this summer. So why not share my pictures?

FLYING: Bologna

Remember I told you about my luxurious 5 day trip for work? I started in Munich and went the next day to one of my all-time favorite destinations: Bologna.

I just LOVE Italy. The people, the fashion, the temperatures, the buildings, the streets and not to forget: the FOOD. Everything is so delicious! Well if you click here you can see my previous Bologna trips. This time I had plenty of time so we decided to have a big lunch in the well-known-amoung-locals restaurant 'Draghoria Della Rossa'.

After a delicious 3 course lunch with the best red wine I've had in a long, long time, we went into the city center and to the park. Enjoying the summer sun and the almost empty city. Since Bologna is a typical student town, most of them go to the beaches during the hottest season of the year. So we basically had Bologna for ourselves.

FLYING: Shopping in Bologna

There are many reasons to go to Italy. The food, the drinks, the people, the weather, the landscapes and one of the main reasons for me: the fashion and the shops.

When I see Bologna on my roster, my heart makes a little jump. The city itself is really big (in my opinion) with lots of amazing shops in all different price ranges. From the high fashion via zara and h&m to the local market in the weekends: there is something for everybody! Also, why not going into one of the little food and drink shops for some pure italian cuisine at home? I always bring some parmigiano cheese for at home.

Anyway, back to the fashion. The main reason why I love the spanish/italian/french brands is that they've got the perfect size for me. It's extremely hard for me to find the perfect jeans, dress or pants (usually everything is too big in the Netherlands). And the most difficult thing for me to shop is lingerie! Yes, I was not in the front of the queue when God handed out the boobs to everybody. So God gave me Italy, and in particular Intimissimi.

When you don't count the little food and wine shops, Intimissimi is by far the best shop to visit in Bologna, to me at least. I always have to buy a new bra or some panties. The prices are okay, the quality is perfect and the lingerie itself is so beautiful and comfortable and it fits PERFECTLY (which to me is a gift from heaven!) For the bra which you see in the picture above I paid 25.90 euro. That's really a good price for such a perfect bra!

And check out their new spring collection. Such a beautiful video!


And NO dear readers, this post is not sponsored! How I wish it was! I would love to own every single bra they have in their store. But I just want to let you know about my favorite store!

Finally back in Bologna, after months! It was awesome being back, and the weather was pretty good. Around 18 degrees, sunshine, just awesome! Esspecially after the snow in Trondheim. We walked around, bought some drinks and crisps in the grocery store and went into the park, where we enjoyed the beautiful weather during the afternoon.

Bologna is definitely one of my favorite destinations. If you want to see more, you can click on the Bologna tag to see other pictures from last summer.

And what do you think of my outfit? Pretty spring-ish, right?

Dress - vero moda
Long time no see! How are you guys and girls doing? Still enjoying the lovely summer? I have been flying around and moving around for the last couple of weeks, which made blogging a bit difficult. This is just a small picture of my trip two weeks ago to Bologna. I went out shopping and walked around in the city.

And now? Holiday! Finally! I've got my annual leave for two weeks from now on, so I'm deffinitely going to enjoy it. You'll hear more from me, promise!

FLYING: Bologna

Three words: I LOVE BOLOGNA! And I got really lucky last week with a day over in this beautiful city. Together with the crew I walked about 8km to a monastery. It was 33 degrees and the monastery was located on a small mountain. So it was quite a challenge to get up there, but it was definitely worth the journey! After our trip we had dinner in the city and enjoyed the italian cuisine ;)

FLYING: Florence

It has been a while since my last post. I have been busier than ever: working, traveling, living life to the max. Let me show you my 1,5 day trip to Bologna and Firenze:














Pictures of my really short holiday to Florence. The bf had a day over for work in Bologna, and we decided I could join him. I just left Bologna that very same day in the way too early morning for work and later that day I took the plane again to Bologna, but now as a passenger. The next day we took the train to Firenze and had the best day ever. It was fantastic, exhausting and such an amazing experience which I will never forget.

xoxo
