Too Close For Comfort.

Eski bir dostu gormek, ozlediginiz seyleri yapip cokca gulmek, en guzel terapi. Bende bu cumartesimi etrafimda sevdigim insanlar, sevdigim ortamlarda gecirdim, once Nisantasi sonra Galata. Elimde fotograf makinasi, kolumda arkadaslar, agzimda tiramisunun biraktigi tat...
To see an old friend, to do some the things you missed and laugh , is the best therapy in the world. So this saturday I spend my time with the people I love and in the places I adore: Nisantasi and Galata. My camera in my hands, having the people I love near myself and the taste of the desert I had... Marvelous.

Gunun kahramanlarindan once, ilk duragi... Bebek mavisi kutularina ic gecirerek baktigimiz, 'key chain'i yillarca wishlistimizde duran Tiffany & Co. Burasi bir cennet daha fazla soze gerek yok...
We started our day at Tiffany&Co and sighted while looking at its sweet blue boxes and the key chain which is always on our wishlist. It's a heaven, don't have to mention it again.

Nisantasi demek Beymen Blender demek, kuru kafa mumlari begeniyor, Marc Jacobs laptop case'leri 2012'de edinecekler listesine ekliyor, Comme De Garcons clutchlarin renklerine bayiliyoruz.
Nisantasi means Beymen Blender so we could not stop ourselves to look inside. We adore the candles which is a skull and love the colors of Comme De Garcons' clutches.

 Beymen Blender'in su anda indiriminde oldugunu bildiginizi umuyorsunuz, yoksa sakince yerinizden kalkip cuzdaninizi alip Nisantasi'na kosuyorsunuz.
By the way, Beymen Blender is on SALE now!

Gunun ilk fotograflanan kisisi Nilu. Arkadasim Fransizca'ya, Paris'e, laf aramizda Fransiz modellerine bayilan biri. Muhabbet bu yone kayiyor, yazin birlikte yapacagimiz Paris seyahati hakkinda ic gecirerek hayallere daliyoruz...
Nilu was the first person I photographed. She loves french, paris and french models (OFCOURSE). So we started to talk about our Paris trip which we will make in summer.

Derken uc peynirli tortellinim geliyor ki Salomanje bu isi iyi biliyor. Her bir parcanin lezzeti beni buyuluyor.

By the way my tortellini pasta was so great that I couldn't finish the chat I had. Thanks Salomanje!

Bu sirada Selim cheesecake'i mideye indiriyor, bu postta gorunmeyen kahraman Merve ise turk kahvesiyle mutlu, yesil kivircik saclarini karistiriyor. Grafik okuyan Merve'nin baski calismalarindan bahsediyoruz. Bu konusmadan iyice keyiflenen Selim yeni planlarini bize anlatmaya basliyor.
Selim also likes Salomanje so much, especially its cheesecake. Also Merve ( which will be mysterious in this post because I realized that I forget to shoot her ), drinks her turkish coffee while playing with her green curly hair. Then we started to talk about her art skills. By the way Selim enjoys his eat and the chat we were having, he starts to talk about his plans for 2012.

Selim ve Ben
Selim& Me

Bir de bakiyoruz Nisantasi bizi basiyor ve solugu Galata'da aliyoruz... Aramiza katilacak Burcu ile gorusmek icin Building yollarini tutuyoruz. Burcu ile Selim'i daha yakindan tanitmak icin onlari sona saklamayi tercih ediyorum.
After that we got bored from Nisantasi and headed into Galata... Walked to 'Building' store to meet our lovely friend Burcu. 

Building favorilerim Tartar kolyeler, en yakin zamanda bir kac adet edinmeli. Ozellikle kece olanlar kis icin cok ideal.
My favorites form Building was Tartar necklaces. We should really have three of them for winter.

Sonra kahramanimiz Burcu Aslan'in yilbasi icin Building'de hazirladiklarina goz gezdiriyoruz. Color blocking trendini kendi tarziyla yorumlayan Burcu'nun Building'deki favorilerine goz gezdiriyoruz. Yemegi seviyoruz ya, hemen Building'in yanindaki Mavra'ya kendimizi atiyoruz.
While visiting Building, we took a look at Burcu's new collection. She reflected the color blocking trend in her way in her special new years eve collection. As we love to eat, we went to Mavra to have a desert :) Mmh..

Unutmadan bugun hafif hafif ciseledi yagmur... Aksamustu yarattigi etkide cok guzeldi. Mavra'da bu sirada muhabbet devam ediyor.
Also this saturday it rained. The view of the streets in nightlight was so nice... Speaking of streets of Galata, when we sat on Mavra:

Burcu'nun yesil cayli icetea'ye bayildigini, karmasik desenleri ise cok yorucu oldugunu ogreniyorum. Bir genc tasarimci olarak onun hakkinda daha cok sey ogrenmek icin de sizi bu sayfaya davet ediyorum...

I learned that Burcu loves icetea's green tea version and she hates complicated prints for clothes. If you want to learn about her more click.

Aslinda gecen sene Burcu'yla beni tanistiran Selim, moda askiyla Mersin'den Istanbul'a gelen bir ogrenci. Ogrenci dedigime bakmayin aslinda cogunuzun da duymus oldugu basarili bir bloga sahip olan, sessiz karakter. Bu sene de guzel haberleriyle yuzumuzu guldurecege benziyor o yuzden blogunu takibe alin diyorum :) , http://www.marshata.com/
Actually I met with Burcu by Selim. He is a lovely friend of mine who came Istanbul from Mersin because of his fashion love. Don't get me wrong he is also well known Turkish fashion blogger which writes at  http://www.marshata.com/

Derken Nilu fransiz usulu suflesine basliyor, masada bir hossohbet devam ediyor. Sonra telefon caliyor, Nilu'yle donus yoluna geciyoruz. Taksim gece yine cok guzel.
By the way Nilu tried her french type soufflé and we continued to talk: suddenly my phone rang, Nilu and I headed to our homes. Meantime Taksim is beautiful at night.

Serdar-i Ekrem'i bitirirken Bahar Korcan'in vitrin tasarimini begeniyor, bunu da fotografliyoruz. Sonrasiysa baska hikaye ama masalimiz burada bitiyor...
This is a inspiring window design which is prepared by Turkish fashion designer Bahar Korcan. So our day finished with a great view at Taksim. Hope you had a great Saturday!
