    In the middle of nowhere IT: Buongiorno! Come state? Avete passato bene il weekend prolungato? Io sono rimasta a casa, ho fatto l’albero e ho decorato l’esterno della casa. Domenica sono andata con Piero a vedere un bosco in Slovenia, di solito la gente normale passa le domeniche in famiglia o va in giro, io, invece, le passo nei boschi Eravamo in un posto che è tagliato fuori dal mondo e dove non c’era il guardrail…solo Piero è capace di trovare posti così sperduti e dimenticati?? All’inizio ho pensato di non pubblicare queste foto, perchè non sono venute proprio benissimo, le abbiamo fatte velocemente, perché fuori erano quasi 0 gradi. Spero che comunque vi piacciano. Vi auguro buon mercoledi! EN: Hello! How are you? I have spent the weekend at home, I did the tree and I decorated outside the home. On Sunday I went with Piero to see a forest in Slovenia, the usual, normal people pass Sunday in family or around, instead I pass Sunday in the forests We were in a place that is cut outside the world and where not even a guardrail, only Piero is capable of to find places so astray and forgotten ??

Na zacetku sem mislila, da ne objavim teh fotografij, ker niso prov najboljse, smo jih na hitro naredili, ker je bilo odzunaj okrog 0 stopinj.

  • Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Heads to London
    ET's Kevin Frazier Flies With the Angels as Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Heads to London 4:09 PM PST, December 01, 2014 Forty-seven Victoria's Secret Angels headed to London for the VS Fashion Show and ET's Kevin Frazier flew in style with the models. Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, both 33, will be hanging up their wings this year, and we were there for Adriana's lingerie fitting in New York before heading across the pond. "The outfit itself is like a corset dress with details for lace and leather -- like shiny leather and it's something that I love," said Adriana. Adriana's outfit is just one of 81 that viewers will see on the runway for the Dec. 2 show. The event will also include a return performance by Taylor Swift with Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Hozier also on the bill. After the fitting it was on to the U.K. via a special Victoria's Secrret flight. "Everywhere you turn there are models," Kevin observed. "That's just how it works on this flight." Before boarding, Kevin and the Angels took plenty of selfies forr the old scrapbook. "Usually I see you holding a microphone," Adriana told Kevin. "This is the first time I've seen you holding a camera." Once on the plane, Kevin was tucked in by Alessandra and Adriana. "You all need to take a nap," Alessandra advised before the six-hour flight. "Here you go," Alessandra said, placing a blindfold over Kevin's eyes. The tricky part came when they touched down in London and had to get 47 models and their entourage through customs.
