Traveling Wels - Salzkamergut Austria Lately...Some Parts with Some Tips

Hi, everyone! I had been on traveling, road trip forth, back and around in Wels and Salzkamergut. We had internet with a speed of Sloth. You know, that animal that moves very slow, look so cute and harmless. Anyway, I have been keeping update on my instagram @Chachamisu, Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook (which are linked to each other). I had to pass a lot of photos from few days before. May be I'll share them in the future if it's okay not to be always actual. :))

Have you had travel, road trip lately or a little walk perhaps? I love it in Indian Summer Autumn season. The colors are incredible but the weather is not yet so cold. It's my fave time of the year.

So here are my instagram photos from the start of my road trip especially for you who prefer to see them here on my blogspot blog with some tips along!

Start of the trip. It was after 7.30 n the morning and still dark.

On the road the full moon was at our front and the sun rise at our back at the same time!

In Wels we stayed at our fave youth hotel Jugendherberge Alter Schl8hof which full of graffiti/murals around it. It maybe the cheapest accomodation, clean and nice. It has dormitories,  double bed rooms, public kitchen and perfect location near the expo centre.

In Wels we attend Caravan Salon and chasing dream of a trip with mobile home like this. Lol. It's even better than our appartment.

In Wels there is also lovely animal garden (mini zoo) with black swans, running free peacocks etc. The best part is: it's free entry! High recommended also for family with kids.

From Wels, along the road to Gosau the autumn views were totally breathtaking. I shouln't fall asleep! Awesome autumn colors of the leaves and foliage covering the mountains, creek....hmmm I love autumn nature.

In Gosau we stayed at Alpen Hut that maybe also the cheapest accomodation especially if you become member of Alpenverein. The whole beautiful traditional style house for only us two (it can accomodate more people).

In Bad Ischl we visit Kaiservilla, that was the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth of Austria. It is beautiful but not allowed to take pictures inside.

Saving holiday/travel tips: look around where there are brochures in supermarket, cafe, or information centre of your destination (and around) for discount and promo. We found in supermarket brochures of buy two pay one entry tickets for a lot of nature park, museum, boat tour and another tourism sites.

I wore a plaid coat dress from Mango, velvet legging and beret beanies from H&M. Boots belonged to my mother in law (RIP). The Indian Summer sunshine was so hot so it was too warm outfit :).

One complex area in Kaiservilla is also photo museum. In this time of the year where the dry autumn leaves were hanging down its iron vintage patio it looked like a beautiful yet mysterious ghostly palace.

Expect more photos in the future! I hope you like my quick post this time. Have a super inspiring day and pleasant trip if you're on the way.

DIY Using Sunglasses Lenses as Photo Filter

Few days ago I did a little experiment with Firmoo sunglasses. I used the lenses as photo filter. It was easy peasy and not that I invented it, you may have already known. Easy and fun as I always bring sunglasses when I am out under the sun.

The lenses I used were brown tinted lenses. I used pocket camera Canon Power Shot A720 IS. Oldie but goodie (bought in fleamarket). I had no rules except put the lens in front of the camera lens and ta daaaaa. I enjoyed the unperfect effects, the blur of the frames, reflection of something or light streaks. I had some experiments with other lenses and so far brown tint is what I like most. Here are some of the results, with and without lenses.

Oh by the way, I remember Beautiful Mess blog had made photo filters with plastic sheet, draw or color something on the sheet with marker and it's also interesting. Maybe I could try or combine with my glasses sometimes later.

Coba coba eksperimen menggunakan lensa brown tint kacamata sebagai foto filter. Ga pakai aturan khusus tinggal pegang aja lensa kacamata depan lensa kamera. Mau miring, agak jauhan, bingkainya kelihatan, de-el-el. Biarkan hasilnya jadi kejutan. Saya sendiri suka hasil efek ga sempurna seperti pada kamera toy. Menurut saya efek yang dihasilkan dari lensa kacamata brown tint ini paling cocok buat pemandangan dan suasana musim gugur atau gaya tempo doeloe. Saya sudah coba juga menggunakan jenis lensa kacamata yang lain tapi sejauh ini saya paling suka dengan brown tint. Beginilah contoh hasilnya; foto tanpa filter dan dengan filter. Scroll down...:)

Without filter.
I've known these pretty fuchsia colors flowers as a little girl in Indonesia. I and my girl friends pinched them until became like wet pulp and put them on our nails for few minutes to color our nails.

With filter. Bigger look from the collage.

The filter effect on man figure. He was wearing white clothes and blue vest.

I personally think brown tint sunglasses lens suit for autumn view.

I like the unperfect effect of the sunglasses frames or reflection of something..I don't know really what has made the horizontal streak.

The sunglasses frames or maybe the reflection of camera zoom frames made surprising effect like on toy analog camera.
By the way, I like the plaid blazer with elbow patches that woman was wearing.

Have you done experiment like this too? How is the results?

Wish you a super inspiring time!

I Won Firmoo Sunglasses and They Won My Heart (with Review)

Early autumn look with Firmoo sunglasses

Smile...I won sunglasses

Closer look Firmoo sunglasses

Say cheese with Firmo sunglasses

Hi, I'm back, and it's October already!

Few weeks ago I won a pair of sunglasses from Firmoo. The giveaway was at Chocolate Sarcasm blog. These sunnies instantly won my heart as I've been wearing them almost everyday! Thanks Firmoo and Sianna!

Lately I had problem with my eyes. I can't read, work on my computer or watching something moving for long time. Oh, that's baaaaaad. I don't know what has happened. I also got sudden bad wrinkles (not the aging gracefully ones) and nasty syringomas (little benign papules like milias but from overgrowth of sweat duct). I got frustation! Though...I feel terrible complaining again and again about my series of unfortunate events in my blog, hehehe. Sorry sorry. Sei dank, my sight is better now.

Thus..anyway...won a pair of sunglasses is absolutely a good lucky thing!

I choose these #FS04 Brown Acetate with brown tint sunglasses from Firmoo Classic Series. Unfortunately the same model has been unavailable anymore. There are similar frames available and a lot more various styles you may want to check them out at Firmoo.

Wearing them for more than a week already, here is my review.

COMFORT. Yes! If not then they can be my fave right now. It's most important thing. I prefer acetate material right now cause it's more light and comfortable for me. I don't feel pressure on my temples. I have metal frame round sunglasses also from Firmoo that I like the look so much but as time goes by I rarely wear them cause the plastic or acetate ones are more comfy. See my old post here.

LOOK. Classic, look like Ray Ban Wayfarer, with clear brown slightly tortoise acetate frames, they are very easy to pair with various outfits. The lenses are not as big as I thought but I think they suit me ....haha what do you think?

FUNCTION. At first I wasn't sure they have UV filter cause on the site it was only mentioned tint and there were advance options with cost addition. I wrote to Firmoo and they answer my question and confirmed that the lenses have UV filter already. If you are still not sure you can bring them to your optician. Anyway, I have worn them under the sun and they're great in reducing glare.

One more function: the lenses can be a fun effect filter for photos! See photo below as teaser cause more about this would be in one of my future post! Note: I didn't edit this photo except resize and put a tiny watermark.

ADDITIONAL. I like that if you buy sunglasses at Firmoo they always come with hard case, soft shell pocket case, cleaner cloth, some screw spares and even a mini screw driver which also a key chain so they put my anxiety of my own carelessness a little at ease. (Gee...I copy paste few words from my past Firmoo review :)).

SERVICE. I think Firmoo has a good service. Pretty fast delivery (sorry I am lazy doing the math for more details right now), updating process and order status on your account, replying my questions on facebook and e-mail. They also have online feature to try the glasses virtually, community, examples on users, and there are a lot of reviews about on the internet.

More to say...again, I wrote this review not because they asked me nor I'm affiliate but because I often search for reviews of various things or products my self so sharing this maybe it could be useful for somebody else. 

Do you have experience with Firmoo glasses too? How is it?

Wish you a super inspiring day!

xo,

Self Portrait: a Pair of Sunnies for All ( with Firmoo review)

 I was having fun playing with my new sunglasses....

( I am not sure if it was the right hat for me )

 Nostalgias

Furry Head

Gypsy

Time traveller

  

Which one is the silliest of all ???

I finally got a pair of these vintage style sunnies thanks to Global Online Optical Store  Firmoo. They have cool program: 

First Pair Free for New Customer !

Buy your first pair and you only need to pay shipping. If it sounds great for you then get yours  here:)

There are so various styles there, I had enjoyed my time looking around even after I have discovered the one!  Of course you can use precription. Since i didn't have precription, I only needed to measure distance between my 2 pupils.

I collect sunglasses and I've had the round one in my wish list since quite a while. First i was inspired by Count Vlad in Bram Stoker's Dracula movie instead of John Lennon or Harry Potter. Then I just found out that Count Dracula had different type of glasses :). So I made a little experiment to pair them with different hats. It was totally fun!

The best part was that it had made me smile again. I had broken my D-SLR old camera and then not long ago my handy was dead and just when I needed most, I dropped my pocket camera...game overrr! I was about to take picture of this Firmoo sunnies outside when unfortunate event happened and it was anyway bad weather for couple of days. So I finally could organize borrowing camera in a little corner with vintage chair in a pretty ruin place, but I don't want to ruin this cam nor my good time with new sunnies!

However the sunnies come together with hard case, soft shell pocket case, cleaner cloth, some screw spares and even a mini screw driver which also a key chain so they put my anxiety of my own carelessness a little at ease.

These sunnies do work under the sun, they had made views around more lovely with their brown UV400 lenses. So perhaps one day I show you wearing them outdoor cause pretty sure I'll be wearing them again and again. They work well dealing with indoor light too anyway :)

First I received the sunnies, they seated to high and jump down to one side. Well, I guessed this was only my personal face matter cause i have a low nose and unsymmetrical ears and eyes, but my husband found out that there were also different lengths or curve shapes of two nose seat parts. Got sei dank, my husband can fix them! He bent a little bit the metal carefully. The nose bridge still too far to my nose but I feel comfortable wearing this sunnies :).

Oh, have you thought about Christmas? It would be an idea .... Unfortunately I don't have Santa Klaus' hat to pair the glasses with. How about glasses for Christmas gift ?. The package took about 11 days to arrive in Austria after I ordered.

Thanks for reading. If you find it is useful I share review about nostalgic, whimsical things I have purchased, discover or used, I'd like to do it again in the future along with my photographs (if I have had new camera!). Let me know your opinion.

Snowy Autumn

 

Hallooo everyone! How are you?

I have been back from Germany and an inspiring road trip around to some other towns.

It was kind of weird this year cause the snow fell down pretty much earlier in the middle of October. Last year it came late December as far as I remember. However it had been snowing only for about three days.The autumn leaves colors are still super beautiful. That's why autumn is my favorite season. Some of the leaves are still green or they are evergreen and mixed with white snow. I love the fresh smell, especially where there's no crowded traffic. Hmmmh....

Thank you for reading my blog, your comments, and even waiting for my new posts.
Let us send energy, pray, love and hugs to who and wherever suffer from nature and human made disaster.  

I wish you a super inspiring week too as well :)

I, The Fall, The Light and The Leaves

My soul is among the fire trees

And the light spot the leaves as lantern

  

Cover the road like autumn bride path

Yeah...thankyou for every lovelies that had visited my blog! I would love to visit and follow you back, as usually my readers are also inspiring.

Weather is colder and colder. But for few minutes up on the hill, the sun was so warm that enough for me to have just sweater.  Normally i would have needed my thick bubble coat. I would like to have vintage or minimalist bold 50s look, but i always end up wearing my sporty outfit.

Even i didn't expose my outfit, i will let you know. My baby blue sweater is from UCB, and my pastel green jumper is from Tommy Hilfiger. Coat from Pimkie. All was gift from my sister :) (Yes, I am a  recycle bin.) My wide leg jeans (that is too long i admit, i would say it will look georgeus for tall woman) is from Miss Sixty.  All is not new stuff, so you will not see in their store. My scarf is from H&M.

My frozen dizzy head is working hard for my next B1 German exam. In the same time my not unlimited internet connection is running out. So i leave you now with a lot of  Fall leaves in this photos. Enjoy your weather, wish me success for my exam and wish you all a wonderfull week. See you!
