Voila! It’s on!

I’ve finally made it. It’s sad but I had to get rid of the name “die melange” due to many reasons. After a lot of thinking I’ve decided to make “dariadaria” the new name of this blog. The old URL will still work, but the new domain is www.dariadaria.com! I picked that name because Daria is my third middle name and I think it sounds really unique.

Also I created a new design, I felt like I needed some more color. I still have to do some changes, but the major change has been done and I am happy to finally shut my damn computer down and enjoy my sunday afternoon, haha.

POLISH VINTAGE SHOPS

One thing I don’t like about thrifting? Dusty hands after. I love old things but the fact that you have to dig through loads of moldy, dusty things kills me. The more impressed I was when I found the Mulholland Drive Vintage Shop in Krakow. It’s the most well kept and fanciest second hand store I’ve ever been to. Unfortunately one of the blouses I bought had a little rip on the arm, which I realized after buying it. But other than that I was super impressed by everything and really loved the cute girl by the cash desk.

Another secret spot, a little less posh, is Plac Nowy in the Kazimierz district. It’s a little square with venders that sell jewelry, old bags, clothing but also food and flowers. You can find the most amazing leather goods there!

WROCLAW

Vro-tz-wav, vrahts-wahf, vrotz-lav, rotz-slarv! Damn it! I am giving up on pronouncing Wroclaw correctly. Not as “polished” and touristy as Krakow we spent two nights here. We had the best dinner ever at Restaurant Przystan and an amazing party on the rooftop of Hotel Monopol with all the super nice google people working in Wroclaw. I got a little sick after spending 15 zloty (!!), on M&M’s at 4 am in the morning and inhaling the whole pack. Of course, the next morning we had one of the top 3 worst hangovers of our lives but the great polish dumplings helped us recover fast. The old town was beautiful but I was more interested in side tracking and discovering “real” Wroclaw. Enjoy!
 

KRAKOW

If I don’t manage to get a proper job in the future I now have a great alternative perspective: I’ll be a truck driver! I drove all the way to Krakow, then to Wroclaw and back to Vienna. Polish drivers are crazy. Seriously. Also I feel like a mullet and lumberjack shirt would suit me really well. You can imagine how tan my left arm is. Poor right arm! Anyway, Krakow was amazing, we basically ate pierogi (polish dumplings) and drank beer 24/7. The city is so vibrant and young, sometimes even we felt a little old compared to the super young population there! I discovered the most awesome vintage store on earth, but more about that later. Now some impressions from Krakow.
