thanks to sassoon my desperate cry for a new haircut has finally been heard. visiting one of their london salons i have had probably the best haircut experiences ever.
i HATE spending hours at the hairdresser and then at the end looking a) completely the same or b) horrible. i have finally found a hairdresser that does the job quickly and so beautiful, that i couldn’t be happier. so polished, so perfect.

three years ago when i started dariadaria i would have never thought that after such a short time i would have been so lucky to travel the globe as a blogger. i have stayed in many hotels over the past year, all of them very impressive in their own way. but this time in london i have had an experience that was very special to me. the nadler soho hasn’t only been my shelter for five nights, but also a little home.
the hotel is in the middle of soho and with rooms starting from 145£ definitely “affordable luxury”. what i loved about it? it’s such a smart hotel! there’s USB plugs, GHD hair dryers, tables that can be transformed into dinner tables and every room has a small kitchen with a coffee machine, fridge and water filter. rather than running a restaurant the hotel supports local businesses and gives advices on where to eat in the area and there’s the possibility to order pastries from a local bakery directly to the room. i love this idea as i never get to fully enjoy the included breakfast in most hotels and it’s still included in the price.
but what impressed me the most about this place is the home-like feel i got. meeting robert nadler, CEO of the nadler hotels, i realized this wasn’t a money making machinery, it’s a family run business made with a lot of love. the hotel supports artist such as hew locke (who did the beautiful sculpture over the entry) or ron diennet. if you’re looking for a stylish, cozy hotel, with great service in a great are – go for the nadler.
never let me leave! even though it’s been raining cats and dogs i have been loving it more and more. it am seriously thinking of sending out some job applications in london – i wanna stay here forever! already practicing a british accent!
yesterday i’ve been fake modeling and it was so much fun, especially running around with that hot smokey eye after all day. i am kind of pushing away the thought to be leaving already tomorrow. boo-hoo.

On my second day with the apartment I decided to spend some hours by myself in the morning, strolling around, having a coffee and cinnamon swirl, enjoying time with myself (best company ever)!in the afternoon i went to see ashish (watch the show here) a pretty nice show, i’d say an 7 out of 10.i’m not a big sequins fan but those from head-to-toe glitter looks were pretty awesome, even more awesome the sequin shopping bags! designers with sense of humour: thumbs up.
today i am actually doing something really cool: modeling for the little black dress lookbook! proof that i’m 100% female: tried to eat healthy today (in the belief to lose 10kg’s before the shoot) but the smell of cinnamon swirls was stronger than my will. touché.
