#AMSTERDAM + LOTS OF FUN

We arrived in Amsterdam this Satur
day and until now we explored this amazing city by foot, trying to get the best out of these four days we have here. It’s sunny right now, we just woke up, we’re making burgers, drinking coffee, editing pictures…you know… everyone has it’s own thing to do. Today we want to explore more and I think we will rent some bikes to travel faster. We have a couple of cool places on our list and I can’t wait to check them out. Check them out and check them off the list. Amsterdam is beautiful, late at night, in some places a fresh white snow was covering the ground. Due to the fact that the wind is sharp and the temperatures are dropping, layering is an essential ‘survival technique’ when travelling to such places. I’m wearing a full INGRID TEODOSIU look, Miu Miu Geometric Eyewear and Stradivarius white ankle wedges. It’s for sure an eye-catching look, wearing blush pink in February can make you stand out in the crowd while everyone else is wearing jet black and dark hues… but I love it. Stylish & warm. Play the song, enjoy the photo diary and check out the February giveaway we have at the end of this post:

Sambata asta am ajuns in Amsterdam si am batut orasul la pas, cu nesat in privire: mai avem patru zile. Chiar acum e soare, ne-am trezit, unii beau cafea, altii fac burgeri, altii editeaza poze – stiti si voi, atmosfera generala… fiecare are ceva de facut. Azi vrem sa exploram orasul mai mult, probabil vom ajunge sa inchiriem biciclete ca sa putem calatori mai rapid. E destul de frig si in unele zone ale orasului am descoperit un strat subtire de zapada proaspata… insa layering-ul e probabil primul trick esential atunci cand ne gandim la tinutele de travel. Pornesti la plimbare, ajungi intr-un restaurant la pranz, te mai plimbi putin, mai spre seara se face frig – stat peste strat, imbracamintea retine un strat subtire de aer care ramane intre layer-uri si te protejeaza de frig. In fotografiile de mai jos port o tinuta INGRID TEODOSIU, ochelari de soare Miu Miu si o pereche de botine crem de la Stradivarius. Press play and let’s see the pictures:

TRAVEL TIP #1 – LAYERING KEEPS YOU STYLISH & WARM

TRAVEL TIP #3 – TAKE PHOTOS OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU

These pictures are taken with a Canon EOS 6D + 50 mm f/1.8 lens, but if you want sharp mobile uploads for Instagram or Facebook you should try some smartphone lenses like Sony QX10 or QX100, they will add a slightly blurred background to your photos. Don’t forget to post lots of pictures! Sometimes even your parents are waiting for news!

Aceste fotografii sunt facute cu un Canon 6D + obiectiv de 50mm, f/1.8, insa daca iti doresti fotografii clare pentru Facebook sau Instagram, merita sa investesti intr-o lentila compatibila cu smart phone-ul tau cum ar fi Sony QX10 sau QX100. Acest tip de lentila blureaza fundalul, iar conexiunea wi-fi te ajuta sa poti posta fotografiile in real-time, ca mobile uploads. Posteaza fotografii, uneori chiar si parintii asteapta vesti vizuale.

SHIRT, TROUSERS, DRESS as BLAZER, COAT, LEATHER FANNY PACK from INGRID TEODOSIU (shop/order here) / STRADIVARIUS WHITE WEDGES / MIU MIU GEOMETRIC SUNGLASSES.

TRAVEL TIP #3 – CARRY A LIP MOISTURIZER IN YOUR FANNY PACK

…and now that you’ve seen some snaps from our 1st day in Amsterdam it’s contest time! This contest is opened internationally, between 2nd of February – 10th of February. We are giving away 6 EOS essential lip balms. Let me tell you something about this balm: it comes in a egg-like pastel hued packaging, it’s the best moisturiser for windy, cold winter days and it’s my favourite must-have beauty product while traveling. If you want to enter the contest, like Melissa’s EOS page here, share this post on you facebook wall and leave a comment below with your name, email and facebook page. As simple as that! Winners will be announced on the 11th of February, on my Facebook Page. Stay tuned for more adventures!

…acum e timpul pentru un concurs. Unul dintre cele 6 EOS-uri poate ajunge la tine, te poti inscrie intre 2 si 10 februarie. Hai sa va spun cate ceva despre acest balsam de buze: e unul dintre cele mai bune produse pe care le-am folosit (lip moisturizing balm), vine intr-un ambalaj simplu, rotund, in culori pastelate: rose pink, warm mint, sunny corai si este cu siguranta un must-have atunci cand te pornesti la drum… la munte, la mare, pe vant sau pe soare… dupa cum vedeti eu l-am adus cu mine la Amsterdam. Pentru a va inscrie in concurs dati like paginii EOS Beauty, da share public acestui articol pe pagina ta de Facebook si lasa un comentariu cu numele tau complet, adresa de email si pagina de Facebook.
