I have these style epiphanies- like when I was 15, I realized that I love the idea of a dress and cowboy boots, and thats all I wore for like, two years. And then, I just started like, loving the bohemian, like fairy type looks with like a flowery headband, so I dressed like a fairy would dress for two years, and now like i see pictures from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s where women would have like, red lips, and a pearl earring and like those very classic looks, and I kind of dress a little more vintage-y, so its always got a direction to it.

A Trip to Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya)

Originally a church, then a mosque and now a museum, the Hagia Sophia is Istanbul’s most famous monument and one of the most important religious structures on the planet.

For a millennium after its construction in the sixth century, the Hagia Sophia was the world’s largest cathedral. Its famed dome rests on an arcade of 40 arched windows and remains one of the largest in the world, standing 55 meters (182 feet) from floor level at its maximum. From Byzantine mosaics to calligraphic roundels and even scaffolding from ongoing restoration, layers of the building’s history can be viewed all at once. To get a first-person look inside the Hagia Sophia, be sure to visit the Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) location page.
