Holiday Look by Sarah Bustani

Posted in All Posts, Cheap or Steep, EuroMom by

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays! Traditionally, I’ve celebrated Christmas Eve with my family every year with typical Bulgarian food and holiday drinks. We often exchange presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day, which brings lots of fun to the evening.

Better yet, New Year’s Eve has always been a grand celebration back home. In the U.S. everyone celebrates differently, and there are so many traditions. However, dressing up is still a must for most. I wanted to share a holiday look with lots of glitter that will hopefully give you inspiration for your upcoming holiday parties and nights out.

Happy Holidays to all of you! 🎅🎄🎁

Authentic Alfama in Lisbon, Portugal

Posted in All Posts, Cheap or Steep, EuroMom by

Hello from beautiful Lisbon, Portugal. 🇵🇹

If you’ve been following my recent European adventures on Instagram, this spot may look familiar. Alfama is the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon with narrow streets covered in cobblestone, graffiti walls and beautiful mosaics. This traditional side of Lisbon is a must-see and experience. As a solo traveler, I loved walking up to the top of Alfama and enjoying this beautiful view. Not to mention, every street has something unique to explore.

Alfama is definitely one of the top Instagrammable locations in Lisbon. It is a colorful district with lots of character and charm. Tram 28 is another major attraction in Alfama. Even if you don’t ride the tram, you can’t miss snapping a pic or two.

If you like to feel the vibe of the neighborhood, explore one of the cute little restaurants or enjoy a glass of wine admiring the sunset and this gorgeous view of Lisbon up top.

Happy Friday, world! 🍸

Surprisingly I’m home tonight working on the blog as I have been neglecting it for the last couple months. It’s nice to take a break from traveling and be home for the next few weeks. Although I can’t wait for my upcoming vacation to Europe. I will be seeking some outfit inspiration, so feel free to share with me your fabulous ideas and suggestions!

I’ve been wanting to wear this outfit for a while. Truth is that it’s just been way too hot in Vegas this summer. I fell in love with this plunging flare jumpsuit on Forever 21, but it’s not one of my most practical buys. The cleavage is a bit too open for my taste, so I decided to style it with a bralette from the VS summer sale. What I’m most excited about, is this belt bag I found at Topshop in London. Talk about shoppers’ heaven!

What are some looks you are obsessed with lately?
