Just wanted to say a quick “hello.” I’ve been MIA for a few months, I haven’t been feeling inspired lately. Therefore, to circumvent my inevitable evanescence, I will bid summer farewell and welcome autumn with a revitalized and refreshed outlook…so stay with me as I revamp this virtual space.

It has been a while since I’ve posted anything…and I truly apologize. My family and I have been on holiday, a much needed holiday.
I thought, however, I’d give you guys a glimpse of what I’ve been doing. Work has been really busy with “business trips” and changes in the office. I am also currently writing a journal article andawaiting for its impending finalization. My husband and I are also planning, not only our next European exploration – I guess, you can say vacation…but we are also in the midst, more like the first stage of our “humanitarian project.” But more importantly, I am happy to announce that I just recently attended my doctoral graduation and have been officially hooded. So to say the least, I have been really busy. In any event, I thought, I’d present you guys with what I’ve been wearing as of late…everything blue with a pop of yellow. Enjoy!

München (Munich), is the capital of Bavaria, Germany and the third largest city in the country. It is situated on the Isar River, north of the Bavarian Alps. It is a bustling city of modernity and diversity, at the same time preserving antiquity and history.
München hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics.
The beautiful Marienplatz, located in the center of town, is a large open square where they have the open farmer’s market, where you can find anything from fresh produce to chotskies…München is one of my most favorite cities in Germany.
München is also the beer capital of the world, hosting the annual Oktoberfest. With that said, Hofbräuhaus, the famous beer house, need no introduction. It is a “must see” place in Germany.

Assumption of Our Lady Cathedral is Bolzano’s famous and magnificent landmark. The cathedral’s architecture is symbolic of the northern-Gothic and southern-Romanesque influences in Bolzano. The gargoyles that surround the cathedral is reminiscent of Notre Dame in Paris, clearly an indicative of the Gothic influence from the north.
Walther Square was built in 1808 and roughly eighty years later a statue of Walther von der Vogelweide was erected in 1889.
Due to its geographic locality, bordering Germany in the north, Bolzano’s main languages spoken are Italian and German.

I am a feminist scholar who believes in the harmonious relationship between fashion and feminism; art and social justice; nature and culture.
In the midst of my hectic life and my efforts to reconcile both my passion for the arts and my stance on feminism, I find that this virtual space is the place where I can express all of that…
