Sincerely Jules Mash-Up.



Julie Sarinana a.k.a. Jules is the pretty face behind Sincerely Jules.
She has such an incredible ability to pull together the most perfectly contrasted outfits,
whether it be; stripes and polka dots, lace and cargos or red on pink.

She's a big inspiration.
It doesn't help that her hair is flawless either.
Oh, or that she has a killer necklace collection that I'm so envious over.

Cue: Dion Lee.



"Dion Lee and Cue join together to create a new perspective on quality, functionality and design integrity.

Classic pieces that define the contemporary wardrobe; a perfect shirt, a well-cut jacket, a season-less coat.
Beautifully constructed simplicity that translates and celebrates the design philosophy behind both brands. 
Each design is set to be a collector's piece."

I find each design and each individual look to be rather amazing.
I need to see it all in real-life when it hits stores from the 1st of March.

Italy =)

ITALY

Hello, my country is Italy and of course I’m Italian. Here we speak Italian, it’s a Romance language similar to French or Spanish.

Italy is a southern European country situated in the Italian peninsula, where there are two smaller independent states: the Vatican City and the Republic of San Marino. Sicily and Sardinia are part of Italy too.

It shares its borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas. About 60 million people live in Italy and its area is about 300.000 square kilometres.

(Florence)

After long time of conflicts, wars and different political systems now we have a Republic with a two-chamber parliament: the Senate or upper house and the Chamber of Deputies or lower house. Our president is Berlusconi, a very controversial politician. Italy is a founding-member of European Union, so our currency is the Euro.

Italy’s capital city is Rome, but there are many other important cities like Bologna, Verona, Florence, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Bari, Naples or Palermo.




Italy was the centre of the Roman Empire, which left a huge archaeological, cultural and literary heritage, the Italian peninsula saw the birth of the Humanism and Renaissance and during the Second World War we participated by Hitler side because we lived in a dictatorship with Mussoinli.


(Genoa)

(Venice)

There are many important Italians artists, writers, musicians, scientists or philosophers, for example Dante, Galileo, da Vinci, Caravaggio, Raphael, Paganini, Verdi, Puccini, Botticelli, Donatello, Rossini, Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Pavarotti, Bocelli, Fellini

Our typical dishes are varied. However, people just know pizza and pasta. We have foods like risotto (with rice) and lots of types of cheeses.


I really like living in Italy, it's a beautiful country. I must discover each corner and smell :)

Street Style On The Streets Of Sydney.



I'm one of those people who just love to people watch.
So, it's just a given that street style is one of my faaavourite things.

Individually, I think that all of the pieces are amazing. But together? They're so right on.
The simplicity of the outfit is what I like most about it.
I'm so in love with her top.. Too bad it's vintage.

Harper and Harley posted it awhile ago, so stumbling upon it now, I just couldn't resist.

Malta

Malta


  • Year of EU entry: 2004
  • Political system: Republic
  • Capital city: Valletta
  • Total area: 316 km²
  • Population: 0.4 million
  • Currency: Euro
  • Official languages:
    Maltese
    , English


Malta is a group of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Only the three largest islands - Malta, Gozo and Comino - are inhabited. The terrain is low and rocky with coastal cliffs.
Malta, in the heart of the Mediterranean, is a melting pot of civilisations with a history stretching back thousands of years. The country has been inhabited since around 5200 BC and a significant prehistoric civilisation existed on the islands prior to the arrival of the Phoenicians who named the main island
Malat, meaning safe haven. Later the islands were for centuries the seat of the Order of Knights of the Hospital of St John and then part of the British Empire. Malta became independent in 1964.

The Maltese government is headed by the leader of the party with a majority of seats in the unicameral House of Representatives, known in Maltese as
Kamra tar-Rappreżentanti.

Salt flats in GozoThe national language is Maltese, which is part of the Semitic language family that includes Arabic. English is also recognised as an official language, and many Maltese also speak Italian.

Tourism is important in Malta but the island also has an expanding services sector.

Traditional Maltese food includes soup (minestrone, fish), pasta and pastry dishes. Stuffed dishes are also a feature of Maltese cuisine. Stuffat Tal-Fenek (rabbit stew) is a national dish.

Football is the most popular sport in Malta. The national stadium is called Ta' Qali Stadium. It is generally noted that the population tends to be split half and half with regards to supporting Italy or England in football, due to the cultural affinities of the island.

In Spain is very famous the football match played in1983 beetwen Spain and Malt wich Spain won with the score of 12-1

The national football team has won several matches over big opponents that reached the final phases in World Cups, such as Belgium, Hungary, and Greece.

Rugby union is popular in Malta, with the national men's team currently (May 2010) ranked 49th in the world – the second highest ranking that Malta holds in any international team sport after Table Football. The national squad was given a significant boost early in its history by inviting children of ex-patriate Maltese who had learned the sport in other, higher-level, countries (such as Australia and the U.K.) to improve the level of play. However, in recent years, the national team has included an increasing number of locally based players, while maintaining its position in the mid-rank of European rugby (currently ranked 22nd of 40 competing European nations).


In my opinion i´d like to live in Malt because it´s has a very good temperature during all the year and there are a lots of beach , i can´t speak Maltese but this isn´t a problem because everyone in malt can speaks English and Italian

  • Capital city: Tallinn
  • Total area: 45 000 km²
  • Population: 1.3 million
  • Currency: euro

Estonia
Estonia, the most northerly of the Baltic states, regained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. It is a mainly flat country on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, with many lakes and islands. Much of the land is farmed or forested.

The Estonian language is closely related to Finnish, but bears no resemblance to the languages of the other Baltic republics, Latvia and Lithuania, or to Russian. About one quarter of the population is of Russian-speaking origin.

The capital, Tallinn, is one of the best-preserved mediaeval cities in Europe, and tourism accounts for 15% of Estonian GDP. The economy is driven by engineering, food products, metals, chemicals and wood products.

Throughout history, many other nations that ruled the region – Danes, Germans, Swedes, Poles and Russians – have influenced Estonian cuisine. Among the traditional dishes are marinated eel, blood sausage and sauerkraut stew with pork.

Famous Estonians include the writer Jaan Kross whose work has been translated into at least 20 languages.

Never gonna give you up Rick Astley

A classical song by Rick Astley


We're no strangers to love
you know the rules and so do i
a full commitment's what i'm thinking of
you wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how i'm feeling
gotta make you understand
Chorus:
never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
never gonna run around and desert you
never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
inside we both know what's been going on
we know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how i'm feeling
don't tell me you're too blind to see

Chorus
chorus
(ooh give you up)
(ooh give you up)

(ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)
(ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)

We've known each other for so long
your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
inside we both know what's been going on
we know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how i'm feeling
gotta make you understand
Chorus

I hope you like it !

SLOVENIA

I'm Slovenian because I'm from Slovenia.
Slovenia is a very small country in Central Europe, that's is bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia, with a population of two million inhabitants, and total area of 20273 square kilometres. Their capital is Ljabljana.

The most important Slovenian authors were the poet France Preseren and the writer Ivan Cankar.
And I like their typical food, especially the Borscht, a vegetable soup.

I wouldn't like to live in Slovenia, because it's a small and unimportant country, and if you want to succeed in life, you must leave this country.

Denmark

Hello! I'm Raul and I'm Danish, so I speak Danish.

Denmark only has land border with Germany, but since 1999 has been linked by road and rail to Sweden via the Oresund Bridge. Danish territory consists of the peninsula of Jutland (Jylland) and about 407 islands, of which 79 are inhabited (2009). Denmark is completely surrounded by the North Sea and Baltic Sea, with the exception of Jutland, which joins the European continent
Although Denmark is a member of the European Union, they don't have the Euro. The currency of Denmark is the Danish krone
Its most important cities are Copenhagen, its capital city, and
Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Esbjerg Randers. The Danish political system is a democracy with a king
Parliamentary stable, efficient and
organized, which, polls show opinion, 70% of voters are more or less interested in politics and almost 90% in general feel satisfied with the way it works democracy. The system is characterized by a culture of consensus and commitment among political actors, and gives many opportunities for participation popular in political processes at national and regional levels through membership political parties, organizations government and councils,
as well as various associations and corporations.

Some typical dishes of this country are:

Here is the Oresund Bridge:
