Well, my stomach, probably not yours. I can't drink alcohol with contentment, because I know those content moments will be followed by stomach pain in a few hours. This list can quite get long, hence I will keep it as it is and move on to my trip to Central Europe. My husband and I visited Vienna, Prague, Karlovy Vary, Dresden, Bratislava and Budapest a couple of weeks ago. Vienna is the #1 place to visit to have some seriously good tarts and cakes, not to mention its history filled with music and art. This beautiful city is woven with music; you can get that rich classical music feel allover Vienna where ever you pass by. Lots of theater buildings, concert halls, galleries, palaces... Simply stunning. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh617NjR_RiVEQiOvC4AmApLjVzVWS-HpGSwN0DRsCt5GToDXba2lIGv6RMj8Lk15If-PziQW7Cd0h5XyFOSAKLKpjroaygBiXOqRhw1Bkk1mf_9cVwF59oLpqyE9TzFfjQjHuk0L3zTv0E/s1600/IMG-20131013-01835.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh617NjR_RiVEQiOvC4AmApLjVzVWS-HpGSwN0DRsCt5GToDXba2lIGv6RMj8Lk15If-PziQW7Cd0h5XyFOSAKLKpjroaygBiXOqRhw1Bkk1mf_9cVwF59oLpqyE9TzFfjQjHuk0L3zTv0E/s640/IMG-20131013-01835.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I am wearing a Mango sweater, Zara leather/wool combined biker jacket, Zara Mini Office City Bag, Mango jeans and Anne Klein boots. </span></i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzRpKdIQavHU4ko7GWKAsY_lzdhZ5rFwb-5t7WymSxpH2DQ67vgn2vspi1IbU9kMksH3V0zY1YUVgJLgBboRUe55QoaTYMzJ06Gnr4E28b1lbr7ItklF8r5KHJPhQTakmpgu_0sB-vceEA/s1600/IMG-20131013-01825.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzRpKdIQavHU4ko7GWKAsY_lzdhZ5rFwb-5t7WymSxpH2DQ67vgn2vspi1IbU9kMksH3V0zY1YUVgJLgBboRUe55QoaTYMzJ06Gnr4E28b1lbr7ItklF8r5KHJPhQTakmpgu_0sB-vceEA/s640/IMG-20131013-01825.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On our first evening, we went into this little cafe with oh-so-delicious desserts; too bad I don't remember the name of the place.

Confessions of a Procrastinator

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I don't know how many times I can apologize for not blogging regularly for some quite time now; for some quite loooong time in fact. I know, I'm terrible.  My first excuse was being too tired from my previous company; then the excitement and planning of my trip to NY, then changing companies, then just silence... This blog is supposed to be a blog for all the fashionizers out there; it speaks for itself - Fashionize Life! Yes, live your life fashionably, find a touch of fashion and art in every part of your life. It can be clothes, accessories, the cafe you go to regularly, the coffee you drink, whatever you can think of. However, lately this blog has been all about <em>Procrastinize</em> <em>Life! </em>I think I've gotten that desease called Procrastinating.  It must be it. Otherwise, I can't explain why even though I think of writing everyday, I just don't write a single darn word to my blog. Nope, can't think of any other reason other than the desease called procrastinating. Is there a cure you know that it treats it instantly?? If so, please comment below and share it with me! I need it desperately. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Lately, all I've been doing is trying to adjust to my new work environment and do shopping on the weekends. I mean, too much shopping. Arghhh... I got a few t-shirts from Mango, a cobalt blue dress from Topshop.  Then a pair of floral canvas shoes.  And a couple of pencil skirts for work.  The piece I loved the most is the dress from Topshop. It's great with nude heels to work and great with a pair of ballerinas just to have some leisure time out. It's not currently available on Topshop's online shopping page but you may still want to check it out from time to time from <a href="http://reviews.topshop.com/6025/10A20CCOB/topshop-uk-seam-waist-shift-dress-reviews/reviews.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. I won't bother posting the photos of the other stuff I got, just picture a few comfy slouchy t-shirts with cute prints on a couple pencil skirts one in a pastel pink and the other in a gray. Thanks :)</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVwuzHu94u4oSiPn0ERT9hPN5f6fTYicETV0Zwwj6BolOj1178XJ0OdXwqQiQ6SKlHSAph4FxDQ7R5WYePwtxmlmIle1RKs5LpJPklp5bPRQVRU40itDzXWTbzQlV0Vov21G8Qk5Zc3vqv/s1600/topshop+cobalt+blue+dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
