I’m back from Istanbul.
Vakre vakre bilder!!
Man it’s really a shame about not being able to wear what you want there, I was feeling the same. And imagine the heat during july/august and me only wearing trousers. In some more mondern areas girls wear what they want but since I always take the public transportation there and not a taxi it was still an issue. I even once got insulted in front of a mosque when I was leaving our apartment to go to a fashion show. Idiots! :)
Your pictures look lovely, I’m curious to hear more about it!! (and still, i’m puzzled, why was my comment not posted..)

Jeg drømmer meg vekk i bildene dine!
Nesli: too many links. It ended up in my spam folder for some reason. :-/ i’ll save it for next time (need to go back). I was googled at even in the more modern parts, but then again I’m a white chick with blue eyes.. Haha.
så sykt fine bilder, maren!:) har du høstferie nå? jeg har den leseuken før eksamen….
Ja, vi må nok dra til Istanbul.
Men i morgen må vi nok dra på Blindern. Eller Nova.
Det er eksotisk.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! You captured Turkey beautifully! I especially like your outfit. It’s so perfect for Turkey because you look like you’re going on an archaeological excavation or something haha.
