Hey everyone, I gotta say, I have had the most amazing 3 days in a long while, on my own, in a BEAUTIFUL place, in my country. Please meet the great.... I must say I have enjoyed every second of my stay there, (although the trip was too long, 11 hours straight on the road), from the comfy bed, the hottest shower (yes I do think the shower is important!) , the amazing food (if you go there, please ask for the Chicken Schnitzel with cheese cream), the very professional service (all smiles!), and the beautiful views, the weather (sun, sun, tan, tan!), the long and meaningful conversations I have had, and the people I met...

Hey guys, Mi again, cleaning up the dust with something fresh and radiant! Please meet... Solange Knowles is, for you who lives under a rock or something, Beyoncé 's little sister, she's 25 and has a cutie pie of a son, Daniel Julez , in fact, she appears with a very round and beautiful belly on Destiny's Child video for Soldier . Ok, so besides that, she's a singer , model, actress and mostly known as a one of the hottest funky DJ 's in the best parties of Hollywood ! And, ok besides all of that, she's also known as a fashion icon, never - i repeat: Never - disappointing in her fashion choices, but she is also very inspiring and daring in her choices, often surprising everyone from her bold make up to her ever-changing hair.  From hair to toe, (yes I said hair), she's always rocking her style in her own beautiful way. And she has become one of my fashion muses. I am totally in love by her style. Check more pictures of
