Cherry bonbon

As you may know me and my friend Irina Voorhees are working in our own pin-up boutique. It is called "Cherry Shop". Why did it get exactly this name? The answer is very simple: can you imagine something more seductive than cherry? ;) Perhaps someone will object that strawberries, especially in combination with champagne or cream, have long been a symbol of temptation. But we prefer more refined, elegant and less straightforward symbols of seduction. After all, a true vintage style is far from the vulgarity and simplicity. Recall at least the famous trick with cherry by Audrey Horne from the cult TV series "Twin Peaks". Surely most of the male population was breathtaking from that interaction with berries! In addition, the fabric with cherries has become one of the most recognizable symbols of the pin-up style. And if we play a little bit more with the symbols, you may notice that the cherries are usually depicted two on the twig - so we are working on different projects side by side together for many years :) Like this! I think the history of our shop name went too long, and therefore need to be brief,  so we are passing you a piece of summer and kisses xoxox

Wild swans skim across a lake then soar in a white arc...

My relationship with Pokhara was not love at first sight. Rather, it was horror and despair. When I've been listening to the stories about this town, usually I heard such expressions as "a calm and quiet place", "resort", "town by the lake." So I imagined a kind of sleepy paradise. What was my surprise when we drove to the center of Pokhara through endless blocks of noisy and dusty construction sites. Cars, scooters - all the same as in the capital! It seemed my dreams of a quiet holiday have collapsed. But it was much better than I expected :) Of course, Pokhara is not such a secluded spot, but even here you can find a welcome retreat away from the bustle of the streets. The main thing is to find the right hotel. I was lucky. My family-run hotel, found by chance, was not far from the lakeside promenade. It is worth noting that the lakeside is the heart of Pokhara. All entertainments, cafes, shops and bookstores are located here. So I left backpack in the suit and went to explore the city with the intention of becoming friends. In this case, the first impression was misleading. Pokhara is very nice town. Here you can find a variety of things to do. Boating, rafting, paragliding, visiting temples, waterfalls and caves with bats (oh my gothic heart!), talking with other travelers, enjoying views and swimming in the pool, and, finally, tasting cuisine from around the world. But the most important thing: Pokhara is the starting point of trekking. Routes to Everest, Annapurna, forest reserves - they all start here. Of course we could not resist of such temptation...
