so here comes the late post..
im a natural procrastinator, by now i guess you do know that
anyhow .. here is my summer in pictures
i've been spending half of my life's summers in the little town of Evian on lake Geneva.. all my life i've seen it as 'the boring place where there is nothing to do' .. but this year the so subtle getaway was not exactly all relaxing.. i've actually been busy and on the go most of the time.. a typical non-eventful day in Evian consisted of french classes in the morning, maybe a stroll or tennis ( which i vowed to but didnt committ to *flutteringeyelashes* ), watching friends and painting, then i'd have the sunset strolls avec digirebel ..
constantly recharging pour demain
one of the days i decided to have an urban hike to the Royal parc Evian avec ma souer and her friends ..
savior of the day
reaching our desitination
since Evian was 40 minutes away from Geneva, it fulfilled our urges to shop ( not exactly fulfilled lol.. it was more of a temporary ta9beera as they say ) well one of the days i stayed late with my sister and had the times of our lives ..
and i played the ride one more time in the evening .. i found it especially enchanting at the right-before-sunset time
Lausanne, also 40 minutes away from Evian by boat .. it actually did fulfill the shopping urges ( compared to geneva )
Petite souer Meme hugs Evian from a distance
that day i had a bonding stroll with Meme .. waiting for our boat to come
all my life i have never seen the Evian-ese lights flicker from a distance, digirebel and i wondered how they looked like .. and i got to see them first XD 
the boat was late that day .. and here's my sister attempting to catch the lenses' attention XP ( she'll kill me when she reads it )
just before the summer ends .. we noticed that we didnt have a single roadtrip to anywhere o,0! .. usually we head to Paris ♥ ... just not this year :( .. anyway .. we went to Barcelona instead.. it was tiring .. worth it thou..
why dont we have this here ! .. i was basically living on it the whole summer !
at last! .. approaching Barça
the famous street we didnt get to go to .. my father refused because of the crowds, the flu, and my handbag! .. i only packed one ( again in attempt of light packing )
so i walk into a shop, that seemed to me very spanish designer, i get an evening gown, and just after swiping the magic card, the salesman told me that they recently opened a shop in Dubai ! oh no, but that's not it, my mother's friend has the exact same dress :) ..
as soon as we reached the city, my brothers made a fuss about the FC barcelona Camp Nou.. so thats where we headed first .. so we can enjoy art scene in total calmness -,-"
just in the suburbs, there was this very calm beach, were kids were playing, men were fishing, and that fish went straight to the little bungalowesque little restaurant that grilled them and had you enjoy it on their deck that was surrounded by oil lamps.. the place was very calming,, i didnt have the fresh fish whatsoever ... i was busy climbing that game that is now extinct ( i think ) .. i had a very nostalgic moment ..that, and all the peace .. *sigh*
the Museu Nacional D'Art de Catalunya .. that i insisted on going to XP .. tortured everyone else too .. lol as my sister and i were walking from the romanesque to the gothic to the baroque periods , that was mainly all christian art .. my sister asked me " why is all the art torturing people the same way ?" .. later she went and took a picture of a sculpture that was labeled " head of jesus " she was so excited about it w she said " omg, i think this refers to something " .. o.o i was about to faint =p i told her that all the things we've been seeing, all the men tortured were refering to jesus !! ,, lol she is so killing me for posting this
i was excited about seeing all the Gaudi attractions.. couldnt fit it in the 2 days we had .. !
we managed to see the parc guell .. which was truly amazing .. i would have loved it more if there were no tourists !! .. people actually stood in a que for taking pictures with some monuments ..
I would have loved to stay in that hall for a long time :( it seemed as though it would be soothing .. but the TOURISTS are crawling all over the place ..
after Barcelona, we were supposed to head to Lugano, the little italian swiss city .. we were there in 12 hours :) .. it was the day i was in four different countries in four hours,, if it wasnt for the full batch of the 10 seasons of FRIENDS .. i would have died 0,o.
Cote d'Azur was sort of on our way .. i Insisted for Cannes .. i needed to have the pizza i had in winter .. it doesnt look the same thou .. it tasted reallllly extremely good thou 
my dessert was a pistachio soft scoop ice cream that melted way too fast for human consumption! .. and a stroll by La Criosette .. i had a moment of perfection .. after the icecream that is .. i was rocking the black blazer, with the white basic shirt (high necked that is.. not a very good idea with the heat) .. and a beigelenin-blend -haremesque-high-waisted-clinched pants, kelly, Loeffler Randall stingray adeline sandal ( sliced my feet! ), and a brooche cluster and pearl statement necklace .. social restrictions are not allowing me to post a picture of that ensemble >,<
Cannes in summer and in winter are two very different places .. i like the winter one .. im not a fan of crowds, heat, and extreme-nontasteful-arab-superficiality .. in cannes .. i only spent 1 hour this summer .. and im glad i got to see it lol
c'est tout mes amis .. i wish from all my heart that i wont forget the french i relearned this year lol ..
like in a fashion year , starts on september .. when i usually come back from voyage .. is when i set my year's resolutions : - be strict and laidback - stop the procrastination - be productive - stop listening to your brain your heart has long been ignored - have the time of your life
