If anyone had told me a few months ago that I will be on a road trip with Opel (check out our first journey to Frankfurt) trough Ireland, I wouldn't have believed them! But things happen when you least expect it and that's how I ended up in Ireland in February! 
Jelena and I were among the first ones who tested the all-new 2.0 CDTI engine, which comes along in Insignia and also the ‘whisper diesel’ 1.6 CDTI engine in Opel Mokka. Ireland’s cozy size, excellent highways and breath-taking diversity of coastal and inland scenery were ideal for test drive. We got the chance to see the amazing Wicklow County located on the Irish east coast. This particular area is stamped by hilly roads leading through a spacious national park, offering both perfect conditions to extensively test these engines and of course to snap some  photos. ;) After this we also made a quick Dublin tour on foot which has a lot to offer especially if you are a true fan of Georgian architecture and of course beer. :)
During this short but great trip we discovered a small part of a land with outstanding natural beauty in the best possible way, on the road! So if you are into nature, start your engines and explore this amazing country, you will be thrilled! Hope to be back soon and see even more of beautiful Ireland! 
Thank you Opel for this adventure!

Winter city break

                                                                                               CLICK TO SEE MORE











                                                                                                 location: Belgrade
                                                                                                 place: Belgrade Art Hotel (BAH)

                                                                                                 ph. Dragana Paramentic and me


Weekend before a NY's Eve Jelena and I checked into the Belgrade Art Hotel for a stylish staycation!
It was a perfect getaway without huge driving distance or flights and it was reserved for PJ's, magazines and pastries without talking about work or anything related to it. Only waffles, macarons and the best cremeschnitte in town! Okay, champagne was allowed too! ;)
The hotel provided a delicious departure from our everyday realities and the Art Suite was our ideal escape!
Should I mention how much I loved the spacious bathroom and a large terrace with seating, overlooking the main street in Belgrade? Centrally located with quiet and peaceful atmosphere,oh yes, it's possible!
What better way to clear our minds before starting a plans for a 2015!?


Huge thanks to Dragana for capturing those silly lazy moments and the other Dragana for making us pretty! ;)

p.s. if you are planing a trip to Belgrade, or just want to have relaxing weekend like we did, BAH is offering a special Winter city package, so be sure to check it!

Frankfurt am Main / Roomers

                                                                                                  CLICK TO SEE MORE













                                                                                                    location: Frankfurt an Main,
                                                                                                    hotel: Roomers,
                                                                                                    ph. me (and Jelena)

After we tested New Corsa, Jelena and I extended our trip so we can easily explore some other parts of Frankfurt and that's how we ended up at the Roomers hotel!
We were welcomed by timeless charm and modern architecture of  this elegantly futuristic six-story hotel which has been transformed by Grübel architects from an office building into a cozy space full of swirling dark colors.

Highlights
- right in the heart of Frankfurt am Main, just a few minutes walk from the Main river and the train station
- contradictory style of indulgent minimalism (check out the do not disturb signs and feel those sexy vibes ;))
- the award-winning Bar is the best meeting point and the place to see and be seen in town (love the music and drinks)
- 24h menu are available to consume in the bar, in the lobby area or in the comfort of your own room 
- the spa on the 6th floor
- the front door of interior designer Oana Rosen's masterpiece ( like the entrance of an exclusive nightclub, no matter what time of day it is)
- The Sky Lounge with Frankfurt’s skyline view
- complimentary WiFi
 
Food and drinks
- as a huge fan of hotel's breakfast I was delighted with the one we had at the Roomers (great range of products), even if you are not staying at the hotel be sure to visit their restaurant and try something from their menu
- don't skip the chance to try perfectly mixed cocktails from the bar (the one with fresh raspberries is really nice)

People
- friendly and helpful staff
- guests: every kind of groups (single, couples, businessman, family, etc.), perfect for weekend getaways and couples.

Price
You can check the rates directly on the Roomers website or at Designhotels.com cause they are member of it.

Experience  
It's cozy and dark.
It's sexy and sophisticated.
It will awake your fantasies so indulge yourself into a Roomers luxury and enjoy.


p.s. thank you Pamela for everything!

In Frankfurt with Opel

If you are a true Instagram addict and by any chance following me over there, then you already know that I spent few days in Frankfurt am Main with Jelena in the middle of October.
Thanks to Opel, we attended the New Corsa launch and we had the opportunity to test it and drive it around this city of contrasts.
After we arrived at the airport, we had breakfast at cozy bistro and soon after that, we picked color of our car and started the journey. I'm crazy about the old school maps and already have a small collection of them, but I have to admit that equipment which includes the IntelliLink system with 7inch  touchscreen and apps such as BringGo, Stitcher and TuneIn is better than anything I have ever tried!
Our next stop was at the gorgeous mansion Neues Schloss Höchst where we had the official presentation and lunch and before we arrived at the Jumeriah hotel (with the incredible skyline view), we made one more pit stop at the place called Lodge, which is basically a restaurant above the Zoo, how cool is that?! After a power nap in the afternoon (or crazy running through the city like I had), we made it to the Kameha suite which was reserved for cocktails and dinner. We finished our test drive the day after and when we started to explore the city in a good old way, on foot. ;)
As a girl who doesn't know much about the engines, cylinders and other big words, what can I say about this car? Well, it's cute! :) It's comfortable and stylish, it's new and glossy. It's elegant and modern. Above all, it's safe car which is the most important thing.
Thank you Opel for spoiling us!
