    Weekend amore...


    A special milestone and just couldn't resist a little getaway to one of the most exceedingly romantic cities imaginable - Venice.

    The longest lunches in the darkest corner of a charming cafe, shared with the person with whom you can spend hours talking about anything and everything...

    Idle strolls and stolen kisses in a maze of winding corridors...


    amorevenice7

    Never passing up delectably sweet treats, with two spoons to share...

    The soft, warm glow of a city that seems to sing sweet nothings to you...


    amorevenice1


    The vivid contrast of brilliant aquamarine blue against soft coral and pink...

    A quiet moment alone with your thoughts and a satisfied feeling that at this moment,
    everything is in its right place...

    Collapsing in happy exhaustion after a day that was pure bliss...

    Waking up to a brand new morning - shimmering with irridescent sunlight, the fresh breeze blowing in your face, and the delighted moment when you realize you get to do it all over again...

    congrats! true love does get bigger with time. perspective, too, is important; each time he does something annoying (toilet seat up, anyone?) just think how it would feel if he wouldn't be there to do that annoying thing... works for me every time.

    This is the Russian Model????
    It's amazing to put a girl that looks like she is 12 years old in such sophisticated dresses!!! They do that a lot in fashion mags.....
