Empty Land

This is my typical Sunday comfort outfit going to lunch with T. I am in love with my new neon pink jeans by Diesel which I wore first time. It literally brightened everywhere I went to. Our camera didn't do justice to reveal it's brilliant pink color, maybe T should work on his photography skills.

Beni yansitan rahat bir pazar ogle+aksam yemegi kiyafeti. Neon pembe jeanimle ask yasiyorum bu ara. Bu Pazar gittigim her yeri lamba gibi aydinlatti sagolsun. Makinamiz bile rengini yakalayamadi parlakligini siz hesap edin artik. T biraz daha calismali sanki fotografcilik hobisi uzerinde..

Chill Out

This Sunday was all about eating, drinking and enjoying life.

Bu pazar gununun tamami yemek, icmek ve hayattan keyif almak uzerine kuruluydu.

I think I might have eaten "The Best Noodle Ever" that day.
Pazar gunu dunya uzerindeki en iyi noodle'i yedigimi rahatlikla iddia edebilirim.


How cute is that plaque? I saw it at Union Square on one of the wooden banks, I hope Shiao and Jeff are still together and live happily forever..
Farelerle dolu oldugu icin ayaklarimizi toplayarak oturmak zorunda kaldigimiz Union Square'deki bankta boyle bir plaka vardi, nasil sirin geldi bana boyle bir sey dusunmeleri anlatamam. Bir yastikta kocasinlar insallah!

We have been hunting for the best Gelato since 2007. We were in Italy that year and pretty much all we ate was gelato and gelato only, which led me to end up in emergency room the day after we came back home due to inadequate nutrition habits :( Well, it was well worth it. Our hunt was over when we finally found the best mango Gelato. Equally enjoyable were the almond and pear flavors, and it was so delicious, yummm!
2007 yilinda T'yle Italya'ya gittigimizde gunde 7-8 kere yedigimiz (donuste acil servise kaldirilacak, dislerimin birbirine ates sebebiyle inanilmaz carpmasi yuzunden annemin kirilmamasi amaciyla dislerimin arasina parmagini sokmak zorunda kalacak kadar) dondurmaya olan ozlemimizden dolayi 4 yildir surdurdugumuz av sonlandi ve gercek Italyan dondurmasini NY'ta bulduk ===>; Bknz: Mango, armut, badem


T is very knowledgeable when it comes to fish. This week he picked Mediterranean Brass and I cooked today for us.
Babasi tarafindan senelerce balik almak, secmek icin Istanbul balik haline goturulerek egitilen iddiali balik secicisi T, bugun yedigimiz levregi temizletirken..

Gloomy

We designed this jacket with my mom. First, we bought a silk scarf  with beautiful flower patterns from China Town\NY  and sewed it like a
jacket, then added fringes on all the edges. I love the outcome. What do you think? By the way, my dear friend Nil from Turkey was on
Sartorialist today and she is awesome as always. Go check her blog for the details. Love you all..

Bu ceketi de annemle birlikte tasarladik. Once, China Town'dan aldigimiz ipek esarbi ceket seklinde diktik, ardindan annemin Turkiye'den getirdigi makrame iplikleriyle yaptigimiz puskulleri tum kenarlarina diktik. Ortaya cikan urunu cok begendim ben, bakalim sizler de begenecek misiniz? Bu arada bugun sabah kalkar kalkmaz cok guzel bir surprizle karsilastim. Cok sevgili arkadasim NiL, Sartorialist'deydi ve her zamanki gibi harika gorunuyordu. Eger hala gormediyseniz sizi NiL'in bloguna alalim lutfen..

Hunter

I found this shirt on a sale rack last year in Urban Outfitters. It is one my favorite items in my wardrobe: it was made of the softest silk ever and has a color which T thinks is very sexy and therefore it really suits me :) Anyway, my friend is here and I don't want to be a rude host by being a good blogger. That's all for now.

Uzerimdeki gomlegi gecen sene Urban Outfitters'in indirim bolumunden bulmustum.. Dolabimin favorilerinden biri olabilir cunku, 1) inanilmaz yumusak bir ipekten yapilma (ipek son zamanlardaki takintim), 2) T'nin bana en yakistirdigi renklerden biri. Her neyse, evde misafirim var; iyi bir blogger olmak ugruna kotu bir ev sahibi olmayayim simdi :)

Happy Sunday

My mom modified this jacket for me. It was a very old fashioned blouse before and she cut the front, shortened the sleeves and put the fringes all over the edges. I think it came out pretty cool. What do you think?

Nasil geciyor hafta sonunuz? Benimki fena degil. T, tum hafta evde olmayacak is sebebiyle ben de arkadasimi kalmasi icin bize cagirdim. Pazartesi o geliyor, T gidiyor. Bu arada, uzerimdeki ceketi, cok eski model bir gomlegin onunu kesip, kol boyunu kisaltarak bir ceket haline getirdikten sonra tum kenarlarina puskul dikerek modifiye ettik annemle birlikte. Fena da olmamis bence siz ne dersiniz?

Hey, I can't believe how fast this week passed it's Friday already. Anyway please excuse my overly happy photos which were taken on Wednesday after our traditional "Wednesday Date Night" I always try to make my T happy by choosing clothes more like his taste every week in our dinner date. He likes to see me more feminine dressed. I chose pencil skirt for the night but it was a real pain in the a.s to walk in this skirt. I don't know if I would ever wear it :) Happy weekend to all..

Merhaba :) Bu hafta ne cabuk gecti, ne zaman cuma oldu hic anlamadim!?! Oncelikle herkese bir alttaki posta biraktigi guzel sozler, tavsiyeler, elestiriler icin cok tesekkur ederim. Benim de soylemek istediklerim var aslinda bazi noktalarla ilgili ama onlari bir sonraki posta birakiyorum.

Sangria

I wore this dress in our last night in Miami\Key West. It was a strange night like no other.

Bu elbiseyi Miami\Key West'de gecirdigimiz son gecede giymistim. Ilginc baslayan bir geceydi oyle de bitti.




I said goodbye to my mother last night, she is in Turkey now. It was not easy to say goodbye to someone who loves you unconditionally :( My heart still hurts..

Dun aksam annemi ugurladim. Tahmin edersiniz ki hic kolay degildi onun kosulsuz sevgisinden ayrilmak. Ustinden koca bir gun ve gece gecse de hala canim yaniyor :(

Statue

Gecen hafta, annemle birlikte Ozgurluk heykeline gittik. Aslinda daha once de gitmistik ama bu defa heykelin icine girip tam 334 dar merdiveni tirmanip tacina kadar ciktik. Kapali yerde kalma korkumu biraz tetiklese de tamami elle yapilmis bu guzel heykeli bir de iceriden gormek unutulmaz bir deneyimdi. Amerika'ya Fransa tarafindan hediye edildiginde aslinda parlak kirmizi bakir rengi olan renginin, deniz tuzu ve nemden yavas yavas yesile donmesi guzelliginden hicbir sey almadigi gibi aksine inanilmaz bir hava katmis ona; Fransa heykelin yapiminda bunu hesap etmismiydi bilmiyorum ama gercekte bozulan bir seyin bu kadar guzel bir hale donusmesi harika..Keske her bozulan guzellik baska bir guzellige donusse gercek hayatta da. Kendinize iyi bakin, sevgiyle kalin :)

Last week we went up to see the Statue of Liberty with my mother. In fact, I was up to the pedestal before. This time, though, I've been all the way up to the crown. I must admit it felt a bit claustrophobic to climb the extra-tight stairs (334 steps). I was so impressed how perfect and smooth the copper sheaths were formed considering they were hand-forged, as well as the simple yet fascinating chemistry that gradually turned the shiny copper tone into verdigris. I took some photos from the crown, so enjoy..
