Warsaw street view

This post is about a different kind of style. In recent months, I’ve had many requests to put together a post about Warsaw. While I love this city and am here for now, I think of myself as a resident of the world and plan on discovering many wonderful places.

Of course, it has been a big change moving across the ocean and especially from a casual city like Vancouver. There are many similarities, for example everyone’s love for the outdoors. Vancouverites certainly love their open air patios and I was delighted to discover that it’s no different here. As soon as the temperatures hit above 15 degrees Celsius, seating appeared in front of every restaurant in the city. Busy street? No problem! Is there room for a table and chairs? Yes? Then let’s do it! What I noticed most, is the incredible mass of colours everywhere. From the food to the flowers in abundance, the visuals blend seamlessly with the sounds and smells of the endless rows of restaurants and cafes.

While I admit that many of my Vancouver days were spent wearing workout wear while walking or jogging on the seawall, that kind of dressing doesn’t go over so well here. True, it’s starting to sneak in a little bit, but I’ve been forced to rethink my wardrobe and now you’ll more often than not see me wearing, what we liked to call, ‘real clothes’.  Here I’m inspired to take more chances and wear brighter colours. Perhaps it’s the flowers and the food stands at every corner, but much of the time I feel like I’m living in a romantic fairytale.

Then of course, there’s the architecture. Much of the city was destroyed during the war, but many of the buildings were quickly rebuilt to their original glory. Now, modern lines and materials intermingle with intricate details of the old. Kind of like a sleek contemporary outfit, paired with a vintage bag or a retro pair of sunnies. At every corner, there is something new to discover, something different to see. As with most old cities, there is constant work being done to improve the infrastructure and the result is a living and breathing organism, that you quickly become a part of.

What’s your favourite view from the street?

  1. How stunning! Great photography! Warsaw seems like an unexpectedly beautiful city. I love how the streets are lined with patios as soon as it is warm enough out.
    And also, that workout wear (for casual) isn’t really a thing and that people wear “proper” clothing when they go out. I know that I too am guilty of this on the odd lazy Saturday afternoon but I do wish Canadians- North Americans, would take a break from it and generally be more fashion forward.
    Keep sharing your time in Warsaw!

    xoxo

    ps- I (potentially) am headed to a place I know you definitely miss in a few weeks. Can you guess?

    1. Yay! If you go then please go to Scuie in Yaletown (by the roundhouse) for breakfast.

  4. Must be a delight to sit at cafes taking in the city, nothing better than that. The gift the Soviet Union bestowed upon the city, the Palace of Culture and Science.
