Summer in Latvia + Estonia :)

It`s been quite a while since my last post, `cause summer is just too nice & too short to waste it... so I`ve been "collecting impressions" from the holiday in Baltics to share ;)

...every year more & more beautiful Riga :)








..sunny days at the beach in Jurmala
..blue sky...white clouds...clear water...something I had really been missing!





..something new for beach + luxury lovers...VIP beach club...looked nice!



...different SPA ;)



..some mushrooms have been picked...



...and exhibitions visited: "Fashion in 60-ies" (the orange dress-coat is exactly what I need this autumn!:)







ESTONIA was a true nature, countryside discovery trip..





during which I tasted some supper delicious cakes..



...and saw Tallinn from Seagway perspective (highly recommended!!!)







...and had some nostalgic moments ;)




It was definitely a summer of festivals:
POSITIVUS MUSIC FESTIVAL in Salacgriva (Latvia)
VILJANDI FOLK FESTIVAL (Estonia)
"PIENA SVETKI" in Riga (Latvia)
COSMOPOLITAN BIKINI BASH in Jurmala (Latvia)
VENTPILS CITY FESTIVAL (Latvia)
COCKTAIL FESTIVAL in Riga (Latvia)


Let`s have a look!



My 1st POSITIVUS MUSIC FESTIVAL in Salacgriva with great friends, good music, tenting and lots of other cool stuff :)

Estonian singer Iris






Hammocanization :)








2011 COSMOPOLITAN BIKINI BASH - Latvian COSMOPOLITAN trying to break GUINNESS RECORD of having the biggest bikini photo shoot :)









we didn`t break the record, but we sure had an amazing beach party! :) (see the red dot in "S" letter? That`s me ;)






COCKTAIL FESTIVAL in Riga was a great "mix of different stuff" if you understand what I mean ;)


ready to taste the latest trends in the art of cocktail







PIENA SVETKI literally translates as MILK FESTIVAL :)...with no actual MILK to be found ;)
"PIENS" (MILK) is the name of a very relaxed & cool bar in Riga away from the mainstream and tourist crowd



A day of fresh air, music, berry shakes, eco-snacks, eco-treatments..even the rain shower didn`t scare the happy party people :)









BRIDE PARADE in RIGA - a funny event for brides that feel like showing off :)





VENTSPILS CITY FESTIVAL: flower bed competition - one of my favorites





...and every THURSDAY it was time to hit "KALNCIEMA KVARTALS" ...block of beautifully renovated wooden houses hosting a cool market & open air concerts - perfect for a relaxed chat with friends and running into old friends :)






lavender "was in the air"









...and the thing that made it all so great was sharing all these experiences with my family & friends :)


...surprise party for a friend :)


...G4 :)


...making new friends :)


Pizza & movie night :)


..Cuba forever :)




Well...hope you (yes, you ;) had a great summer too! :)



....wait...summer`s not over yet, so let`s get out & catch some more of it! ;)
See you in my next posts!
