Fall Is In The Air

Fall has officially arrived and with that comes new styles and of course pumpkin being used in everything from Starbucks drinks to cookies.
Something I think I should make clear is that I love Fall. I love everything about it. It's one of my favorite seasons along with Winter. The two seasons where you can bundle up and sit by a fireplace and drink hot chocolate.
Enough with my ramble about how much I love Fall, let's talk about the main reason why I'm making this post. The main reason being that I would just like to talk about how you can take a popular trend of the summer and make it a Fall trend.
Over the summer I noticed that many people were wearing black and white striped dresses and I don't know about you, but I am still loving that trend, so why not just add a few items like boots and a jacket and maybe even a dark colored lipstick, and BAM! There you have it a Fall outfit!

What do you think about this outfit? Would you wear it?

#MusicMondays


It's that time of the week again! This week's Music Monday contains a lot of remixes, and almost all the songs are upbeat and fun. I've been obsessing over Charli XCX a lot lately, so I had to put her on the playlist. In fact, I put two of her songs on it. I hope you enjoy the playlist and feel free to tell me what you've been jamming out to this summer.

Now this isn't the Uyku Vadisi video that I promised you all, but it is another video from my time in Bodrum. Don't worry though, the video of Uyku Vadisi will be posted soon. I just haven't gotten around to editing the footage. So for the time being enjoy the video I put together of my boat ride off the coast of Turkey. It was a lot of fun!

#MelTakesBodrum

After surviving off of the wifi found on the beaches, I'm finally able to share my adventures in Bodrum with you all!
Bodrum is exactly what you would expect it to be like. Full of amazing beaches and people sun bathing. Aside from all this there are actually things you can do that don't involve going to the beach like hiking! I can easily understand how hiking doesn't sound like something one would want to do during summer, but Uyku Vadisi is a place that you wouldn't want to miss. About 11 km from the Bodrum airport, Uyku Vadisi is a stunning place with a small waterfall, hammocks to rest on (or sunbathe), a pool, and even a restaurant/café. It also has a trail that you can follow which leads up to the mountains. There you come across rivers, caves, and even an abandoned house up on the mountain.
Uyku Vadisi is a great place for nature lovers and those who want to get away from the party life of Bodrum for a bit to relax.




I'll be posting a video soon of my adventures there because these pictures are not enough!

#MusicMondays

Oh, no! Looks like my attempt of being consistent with posting a playlist each Monday failed. Well, have no worries! I am back with a playlist for this week. I do however apologize for not posting one last week.

This week's playlist is inspired by summer and what I think are some nice summer jams. It's also the type of playlist I plan to listen to as I get ready to head down to Bodrum, a southern city in Turkey where a good amount of people flock to for summer holidays.

Enjoy!
