Weekend in Georgia

Hello everyone, it's Sveta. I once again am coming back to blogging. Today with a little bit different kind of post. Travelling experience type of post.
So, two days ago I came back from the weekend in Tbilisi, Georgia. It was my third time there, and quite frankly I love it. The city reminds of Europe, grace to Mikheil Saakashvil who made all the major changes at the infrastructure and improved the city.
I just love walking there, visiting little cafes, just strolling along the streets. Luckily the weather was great, sunny and warm. The streets were filled with tourists, which actually I like, I quite like the buzz of different languages around me. Cafes with live music are everywhere, you just have to choose where exactly to go, which actually can be quite hard. I especially like Singer cafe and Friend's cafe, the atmosphere is amazing. Not to mention gorgeous and mostly very stylish Georgians. Also, Georgians are very religious, so there are a lot of churches everywhere big and small.

Minankari

To anyone interested with antiques my advice is to go to Dry bridge, that is where the flea market is situated. Also if you are interested in jewelry, there is gorgeous Georgian traditional jewelry style called Minankari it's made of baked enamel, I'll insert the picture with example. Also Georgian wine, there are a lot of different wine houses, wine shops, vineyards and etc. Just go and try. So because it is not an educative type of post, I'll just insert a couple of other pictures.

Also, outfit that I'm wearing on the photo is
Dress - Zara
Cardigan - Oodji (Great Russian high street brand)
Shoes - Sasha Fabiani
Bag - local store
Necklace - local silver shop

Have you ever been to Georgia?

Pilates

Hello everyone!
Today I'm going to write a little bit about pilates! I've started doing it just a couple of weeks ago, and what I wanna say is - pilates is AMAZING.
It was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. The main idea of pilates is to increase the strength, flexibility and control of the body. The focus is on doing one precise and perfect movement, rather than many halfhearted ones. Also it's very important to breath in the right way. The main plus of it (in my opinion) is that you don't feel exhausted after workout.
Also, the plus of pilates is that you can do it at home, there are a lot of exercises that you can do alone, without any expensive equipment. Though, I do recommend to have a few classes with professional before starting doing it alone.
There are a lot of celebrities such as Jennifer Anniston, Gisele Bundchen, Hugh Grant, Jessica Simpson who do it.. Also people say that Kate and Pippa Middleton keep them fit through pilates too! If you want to start doing it alone there are many resources such as:

You can also use Pilates fot Dummies.
So, if you do pilates or want to start doing it, let me know your opinion about it.
Don't hesitate to comment and
Enjoy!

xoxo
Sveta
