Meet me in Porto Parfois!

Asa cum va spuneam intr-o postare anterioara, weekend-ul trecut am fost plecata la Porto, intr-o aventura incredibila alaturi de Parfois.

Ajunsa la hotel am primit o cutie misterioasa cu o busola si o harta si apoi, am primit mesajul ca prima intalnire se va petrece a doua zi dimineata, fara prea multe detalii. 😉

Tot ce stiam : eram in cautarea celei de-a cincea esente Parfois. Dupa o cina fabuloasa intr-un loc aparte, la “Feeling Grape”, am facut o baie fierbinte din nou, si m-am bagat la culcare ca sa fiu odihnita a doua zi.  Mie imi plac misterele, asa ca abia am asteptat sa inceapa aventura.

A doua zi de dimineata, am coborat la micul dejun impreuna cu Dana Rogoz, si apoi am cunoscut alte blogerite foarte simpatice din alte parti ale lumii.

Am asteptat cuminti toate si a sosit un autobuz tipic londonez , culmea, in Porto:), sa ne ia de la hotel. Am mers catre prima destinatie, un magazin imeeeens Parfois unde am facut shopping pentru cina secreta ce urma sa vina.

Pranzul a fost absolut incredibil! Am luat masa intr-un restaurant cu un super ocean view unde ne-am distrat, am baut un Sangria puternic ( care ne-a cam ametit un pic:) si am facut poze pe plaja.

Ne-am plimbat apoi cu un tramvai foarte vechi in care am degustat din nou celebrul vin Porto!:) Apoi…Ne-am intors in autobuzul nostru posh.

Va imaginati probabil ca am  asteptat cu nerabdare seara.:)

Am descoperit asadar noua colectie Parfois pentru primavara-vara care arata spectaculos! Materialele folosite, print-urile indraznete Tribu, detaliile incredibile m-au facut sa ma indragostesc rand pe rand de fiecare piesa in parte! In plus, noutatea cea mai mare sunt hainele pentru care va fi dragoste la prima vedere pentru fiecare dintre voi,  va spun sigur.

Abia astept sa apara in magazine! Trebuie sa va spun ca in seara aceea am umplut Snapchat-ul de video-uri!:))) Nu m-am putut abtine! (snapchat : @catalinagramagramaldy)

Partea de spectacol a continuat cu cina, organizata intr-o sera fabuloasa, unde am mancat specialitati din partea de sud a Portugaliei si am cunoscut pe  unul dintre designerii noii colectii.

Mi-a placut teribil fiecare moment in parte, am cunoscut cativa oameni foarte speciali, am ciocnit de fiecare data strigand “parfoooooois” si, am aflat care era a cincea esenta intr-un ultim mesaj pe care l-am descoperit la hotel intr-un mod foarte chic, evident: “the true essence is you!” Si… adevarul este ca fiecare dintre noi este o esenta aparte. Iar cand vine vorba despre moda fiecare esenta conteaza.

As mentioned in a previous post, last weekend I was away to Porto, in an incredible adventure co-starring Parfois.

I arrived at the hotel and received a mysterious box with a compass and a map and then I got the message that the first meeting will take place the next morning, without too many details. 😉

Everything I knew: I was looking for the fifth Parfois essence. After a fabulous dinner in special place at “Feeling Grape” and a hot bath again, I put myself to bed to be rested the next day.  I like mysteries, so I barely waited to begin the adventure.

The next day in the morning, I went downstairs for breakfast along with Dana Rogoz, and then I met other bloggers,very nice people, from other parts of the world.

We waited … and it arrived a typical London bus, in Porto:), to take us from the hotel. We went towards the first destination, a huuuuge Parfois store where we made some shopping for the secret dinner to come.

Lunch was absolutely incredible! We had lunch in a restaurant with an ocean view where we had fun, and we drank a strong Sangria (which made us kinda dizzy a little bit:) and I took some pictures on the beach.

We went to see the city in a very old tram and tasted the famous Porto wine again!:) Then … We were back in our posh bus.

You can probably imagine we waited impatiently for the evening.:)

I discovered the new Parfois collection for spring-summer which looks spectacular! The materials they used and the bold prints and patterns of the tribu series made me falling in love of each piece again and again! In addition, the greatest novelty are the clothes which you will make you  love them for sure.

Looking forward for this one to appear in stores! Do have to tell you that in that evening I filled Snapchat of videos!:))) I could not help myself!

The “show” continued with dinner, organized into a fabulous flower house, where we ate specialities from the south of Portugal and I have met one of the designers of the new collections.

I liked very much each moment, I met a few very special people, I clinked my wine glass every time shouting ‘ parfoooooois ‘ and I found out which was the fifth essence in a final message that I discovered at the hotel in a very chic way, of course: ‘ the true essence is you! ‘ … The truth is that each of us is an essence. And when it comes to fashion every essence matters.
