One more white on white look but this time paired with sandals and fringed bag.
May I say that I'm obsessed with this blouse? ;)

In Ireland with Opel

If anyone had told me a few months ago that I will be on a road trip with Opel (check out our first journey to Frankfurt) trough Ireland, I wouldn't have believed them! But things happen when you least expect it and that's how I ended up in Ireland in February!
Jelena and I were among the first ones who tested the all-new 2.0 CDTI engine, which comes along in Insignia and also the ‘whisper diesel’ 1.6 CDTI engine in Opel Mokka. Ireland’s cozy size, excellent highways and breath-taking diversity of coastal and inland scenery were ideal for test drive. We got the chance to see the amazing Wicklow County located on the Irish east coast. This particular area is stamped by hilly roads leading through a spacious national park, offering both perfect conditions to extensively test these engines and of course to snap some photos. ;) After this we also made a quick Dublin tour on foot which has a lot to offer especially if you are a true fan of Georgian architecture and of course beer. :)
During this short but great trip we discovered a small part of a land with outstanding natural beauty in the best possible way, on the road! So if you are into nature, start your engines and explore this amazing country, you will be thrilled! Hope to be back soon and see even more of beautiful Ireland!
Thank you Opel for this adventure!

In Frankfurt with Opel

If you are a true Instagram addict and by any chance following me over there, then you already know that I spent few days in Frankfurt am Main with Jelena in the middle of October.
Thanks to Opel, we attended the New Corsa launch and we had the opportunity to test it and drive it around this city of contrasts.
After we arrived at the airport, we had breakfast at cozy bistro and soon after that, we picked color of our car and started the journey. I'm crazy about the old school maps and already have a small collection of them, but I have to admit that equipment which includes the IntelliLink system with 7inch touchscreen and apps such as BringGo, Stitcher and TuneIn is better than anything I have ever tried!
Our next stop was at the gorgeous mansion Neues Schloss Höchst where we had the official presentation and lunch and before we arrived at the Jumeriah hotel (with the incredible skyline view), we made one more pit stop at the place called Lodge, which is basically a restaurant above the Zoo, how cool is that?! After a power nap in the afternoon (or crazy running through the city like I had), we made it to the Kameha suite which was reserved for cocktails and dinner. We finished our test drive the day after and when we started to explore the city in a good old way, on foot. ;)
As a girl who doesn't know much about the engines, cylinders and other big words, what can I say about this car? Well, it's cute! :) It's comfortable and stylish, it's new and glossy. It's elegant and modern. Above all, it's safe car which is the most important thing.
Thank you Opel for spoiling us!

Vauxhall Astra VXR-R / S and Corsa VXR-R / S by Thorney Motorsport

Thorney Motorsport, a UK based tuner that specializes on road and track cars has launched its own range of modified Vauxhall Astra and Corsa VXRs (sold in the rest of Europe as the Opel Astra and Corsa OPCs). Both hot hatches are available in two variants, the VXR-S (Sport) and the more heavily modified VXR-R (Race) with Thorney Motorsport announcing that only 25 units of each version will be produced. The entry-level VXR-S models come equipped with a race suspension set up that brings the Astra and Corsa VXRs 30mm closer to the ground, uprated brake pads, lightweight 18-inch black alloy wheels, sport livery, a sport exhaust system and engine upgrades.

In particular, the Astra VXR-S' 2.0-liter turbocharged engine develops an output of 280 bhp for a 0 to 60mph (96 km/h) sprint of 5.2 sec and a maximum speed of 160 mph (257 km/h). The Corsa VXR-S 1.6-liter turbo unit produces 220 bhp accelerating the hot supermini from standstill to 60 mph in 5.8 sec and on to a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).

The more track-focused VXR-R models are further enhanced with a competition developed suspension (40 mm lower), racing brakes with 4 piston callipers and larger discs, a limited slip differential and more extensive engine upgrades. The Astra VXR-R delivers an impressive 300 bhp that allows the 3-door hatchback to accelerate from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.9 seconds and achieve a top speed of 170 mph (273 km/h). Respectively, the Corsa VXR-R's 1.6 Turbo makes 230 bhp for a 0-60 mph sprint of 5.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 160 mph (257 km/h).

All four models are only available as new cars from the Thorney Motorsport Performance Centers that are located within Vauxhall's dealer network.

2010 Opel Meriva MPV: New Spy Shots Reveal Suicide Doors

Our latest set of spy shots of the all-new Meriva that is expected to arrive in late 2009, reveal that Opel's second generation mini-MPV will retain the innovative suicide rear doors of the Meriva Concept that made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. Called FlexDoors, the Meriva's rear-hinged back doors can open independently from the conventionally designed front doors. Even though this future is not only unique but also promises to make access to the car interior much easier, we must note that we question its functionality in tight parking spots.

In other aspects, the prototype models seen in these spy shots especially the ones of the body shell, leave few doubts that Opel has retained the concept's sharp looks inside and out. Just like the current model, the new Meriva will be equipped with Opel's variable FlexSpace rear seating system that allows the transformation of the vehicle from a five-seater to a four, three, two or even single seat vehicle without the need to remove seats.

As seen in the concept, the production Meriva will also gain the Zafira's panoramic roof with its four individual glass elements and aircraft style integrated storage compartments. This feature will be offered as an extra.

Underneath the sheetmetal, the 2010 Meriva will share many of its underpinnings with the latest Opel Corsa supermini. That spells larger exterior dimensions and more interior space for occupants and their luggage than the current model.

Aside from the usual petrol and diesel engines, according to Carscoop sources, the new Meriva will also be offered with GM's brand-new 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine with outputs ranging from 120 hp to 140 HP. As for the top-of-the-line Meriva OPC, it will be equipped with a 1.6-liter turbo unit producing an output of 180HP. In Europe, the Meriva will compete against the Nissan Note, Honda Jazz, Renault Modus, Citroen C3 Picasso and the Skoda Roomster.
