A Life with basketball, Over a decade, my life has been around #BASKETBALL!!!
When you have a career like Lubos it’s hard to know from where to start, but like always we will start from his early beginnings.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. If you are making mistakes…you’re Doing Something. “
A Life with basketball (player–coach)
Over a decade, my life has been around basketball. Constant travelling, moving, packing, getting to know many places, many people, many cultures and languages.
I am not going to lie. It can be very hard sometimes, but we should always look at the bright side.
I firmly believe that things happen for a reason and we should take full advantage of them, when they present themselves.
My husband switched careers, going from being a player to become a coach, but the basketball lifestyle hasn’t really changed. On the contrary. It seems like there is more basketball around, and let’s face it, it’s not really a safe occupation, where you can get fired within few lost games in a row.
My take, and my duty, is to be supportive and, many times, to be independent and having time to myself.
Let’s just say, that I have no problem of doing what I like the most, and that is to travel and explore (as you can see on my Instagram profile).
I have met many amazing other basketball wives, being in the same position as myself. And with some of them we create beautiful memories and good friendship, to support each other. I have seen the struggle some of them were having, mainly due to culture differences, and of course, language barriers.
My recommendation is to try to learn at least little bit of language the locals speak, because that’s the best way to come closer to your surroundings. In that case, you are able to communicate better with people, and trust me, most people all around the world appreciate the effort, a foreigner makes to speak their native tongue, especially the ones that are very hard to learn and speak.
My husband taught me Czech over a decade ago, just the basic stuff, really, and made sure that my pronunciation is very good. Guys, you wouldn’t believe how much difference it makes to be able to understand and communicate with other Czech people around me. My time in Prague has been great, mainly since I understand them, and they understand me (well, most of the time…wink).
And then it’s the part of being adventurous. I have always been this type of a person, that gets easily bored doing the same stuff and I can’t stay put too long in one place.
Therefore, exploring is the best way to use my time, and I absolutely love it. I understand that we are all different, and not everyone is the way I am. But you can always get to know or be aware of someone close by, who will be the catalyst and get you out of your routine, which can be boring sometimes.
That’s why it is important that the basketball wives should be more in contact, share their experiences and help each other out. We all live a life that it’s not easy but at the same time, if used properly, offers many things that many wives just can’t have.
So, let’s embrace the fact that we get to live this type of life, many times, it’s a matter of only few years. Well, in my case, I have been living this life for 13 years now, and it looks like a new adventure is a waiting to happen. Stay tuned!

FAREWELL OF THE CZECH BASKETBALL LEGENDS
When you have a career like Lubos it’s hard to know from where to start, but like always we will start from his early beginnings.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. If you are making mistakes…you’re Doing Something. “
FAREWELL OF THE CZECH BASKETBALL LEGENDS
This past weekend I was a part of the unique basketball event in Czech Republic that celebrated careers of two top players of their generation, Jiri Welsch and Lubos Barton, who happens to be also my husband. Both players were born in 1980 and their careers ended last year, respectively three years ago in Lubos’ case. Welsch played many years in NBA and had a good career in Europe. Barton played college ball for 4 years before returning to Europe to win many titles. They both played for the senior national team since very early age (1997) and finished almost twenty years later. Therefore, Czech basketball federation tried to give these two one more chance to showcase their fans their skills and also their character.
The weekend started on Friday; little golf tournament was held near Prague in one of the top golf courses in Czech Republic. Many famous and important people were present, but it never took away a spotlight from both players. Only Welsch played golf, Barton was more of a spectator.
At night, team dinner followed up, in a close circle of around twenty people, many people knew each other, some made new friendships, just like always happens on such occasions. After dinner, little bit of night life was in order but must for few drinks (wink). Gotta keep it professional because next day, the main event was going to be held in near town, Pardubice.
Not every player gets a chance to have a farewell exhibition game, in front of their families, friends and fans. Not everyone can choose his teammates for the last game. It was very clear that this event is going to be a lot more than a basketball match. Players (both teams featured many very good ex-players, from all around the world) were relaxed and they were having good time, the atmosphere around was being contagious by it. The event took place in an ice hockey arena in Pardubice, but its size was perfect for such occasion.
Other thing that is very important for any exhibition are the people behind the scenes, who make possible many different things around the event. I am talking about logos, presentations, sponsors, TV, special effects, merchandising, charity, TV and media coverage. Just so many things normal person would have never thought about. And they did a very good job.
During the game, there were many media timeouts, games between the two, some funny and awkward moments, bringing them closer to the fans. There were video messages from important people that couldn’t make the event, on a big box screen, players like Ricky Rubio, Gianluca Basile, or coaches like Aito Garcia Reneses or Sergio Scariolo.
Three minutes to go, the game was stopped, and both players got their time with a microphone in hand. They took this opportunity to thank their families, wives and friends for support, thanking everyone who was involved in the event, trying not to forget somebody.
I could tell that there were lots of emotions going on, but definitely the positive ones, knowing that this was it and they were saying their last goodbye to the game that gave them so much. And they were doing it together and with their families present.
Symbolically, my husband made a game tying three point shot 5 seconds to go, and Welsch instead of trying to win the game with the last shot, put the ball down on the floor and hugged Lubos.
The higher the better. It is more a question of attitude.
When you have a career like Lubos it’s hard to know from where to start, but like always we will start from his early beginnings.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. If you are making mistakes…you’re Doing Something. “
“You need to believe in yourself and what you do. Be tenacious and genuine. Christian Louboutin “
He fell in love with a poster whose protagonist was a shoe and, in a way, it all started there. He worked at the Follies Berger and also, as a freelance designer until, at the beginning of the 90s, he launched his own firm and became the French shoemaker of impossible heels with red soles. From then on, everything was growing and gaining notoriety, yielding feminine will everywhere. Last Wednesday he was in Barcelona for the grand opening party of his first store, on Passeig de Gràcia, which opened in March 2018.
It would be too easy to think that Christian Louboutin, designer of luxury shoes, is as haughty as his coveted red-soled stilettos, which elevate the most daring up to 12 centimeters off the ground. Nothing could be further from the truth. The French designer is a kind, simple man and who loves to talk. “I never dreamed of being a great designer. My goal was only to do beautiful things.”
He grew up surrounded by women, with three older sisters and a very present mother, and he has always felt very comfortable in the company of women. In addition, he affirms that women also feel comfortable with their company. It is a matter of admiration, surely mutual. Although some may think otherwise, because the height and shape of stilettos does not convince all of them, Louboutin says he designs shoes to empower women. He feels wonderful the power that have a pair of heels to enhance a style, a silhouette. “Shoes can change a woman’s way of walking, the way she moves, they can create magic, illusion and desire, and those are the things I love,” she says. At less than 12 centimeters, Christian Louboutin is a down-to-earth designer but also a visionary.
He knows that his heels rub against the impossible but he defends the sophistication on the naturalness and in that field the heels always win, especially if they have the red sole, moreover, Louboutin says that there are not high heels …
” High heels are pleasure with pain. “
He is currently considered one of the most important shoe designers in the world. “The higher the better. It is more a question of attitude. The high heels empower the woman in a certain way. “

A fascinating look inside the Cannes Film Festival 2019
Cannes is a place that delights in offering many ways to pamper itself, whether visiting the high-end boutiques, reclining on a lounger on one of the hotel’s private beaches, or sipping cold rosé wine on the terrace of a restaurant.
I’m Keilley Lee Marques and this is what I most enjoyed at the Festival de Cannes 2019.
During the 2019 Cannes Film Festival there is a drastic change in the city, more people than usual even more than in summer, which makes the local police close one of the main roads.
The Croisette is one of the most monumental places appreciated by the City of Cannes, the celebrities doing this walk their own carpet, where if you could appreciate an elegant and handsome Brad Pitt or Penelope Cruz with her hairs pulled back.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. If you are making mistakes…you’re Doing Something. “
Where was the Cannes 2019 festival held?
The Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes is the name given to a building built in 1949. Modern multi-storey convention center where events such as the Cannes Film Festival are held. Also known as the famous Boulevard de la Croisette. Along with its luxury boutiques, hotels and the best beaches in Cannes. A list of stars pointed their super yachts in the exclusive marina of Pierre Canto.
What films stood out at Cannes 2019?
When the film festival opened, the comedy film for zombies, The Dead Do not Die, by director Jim Jarmusch, was shown with a large list of screenings that dazzled the audience.
Other notable exhibitions included A Hidden Life by Terence Malick and Pain And Glory, by Pedro Almodovar, starring Penélope Cruz.
I particularly had the opportunity to attend four films in Cannés 2019 that I loved:
1 Les Hirondelles de kaboul, short film adaptation of Yasmina’s novel Khadra, follow the trail of Mohsen and Zunaira, two young people in love in a Kabul occupied by the Taliban. Together with the graphic designer Eléa Gobbé-Mévellec, she tells her story, which develops between violence, repression and hope. It was a very interesting animation film, with a plot that makes sense about the story, it has a nice message of how war can transform people so that they believe in themselves and in a better future.
2 Another film that fascinated me was Little Joe, since it uses the genre of science fiction to reflect on what it means to be human: on the instinct of survival, the desire to reproduce or the discomfort of discovering oneself separated from the community.
3 The Feme de Mon Frere is another fascinating film that I enjoyed a lot, which focuses on the desire to tell the particular dynamics of the relationship between an older brother and his little sister. A relationship with very strong links.
4 And the last one I got very fascinating waas Portrait of a Lady on Fire (French: Portrait de la jeune fille en feu) is a 2019 French historical drama film directed by Céline Sciamma. It was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. The film won the Queer Palm at Cannes, becoming the first film directed by a woman to win the award. Sciamma also won the award for Best Screenplay at Cannes. And I can tell it is deserved!!
What about the parties and fashion in Cannes 2019?
Cannes can be a film festival but, with a lot of gala events, lunches and later parties in the calendar. As an example Born in Miami in 1998, Nikki Beach is the most famous beach club brand in the world and opened its doors to big cinema events with a big party closing “Forever Young · 20 YEARS OF CELEBRATION”, Nikki Beach 20th Anniversary.
The gala of the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR), is also another very important celebration, held in the emblematic mansion Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, in the vicinity of Antibes, is the most important night of the social calendar of Cannes. It is famous for its extravagant auction (a stay at Palms Springs platform by Leonardo DiCaprio was at stake in 2016), and it was the place where Diane von Furstenberg’s disco catwalk show was held.
The Cannes Film Festival presented almost a fortnight of beautiful fashions, with haute couture as important as movies.
For me it was a dream come true to attend the Festival de Cannes 2019, an experience that brings you closer to the magic of cinema, to walk the red carpet where dozens of celebrities walk. I hope to return next year, so I’m very aware of my itinerary at @keilleylee on Instagram.
Until you’ve been to Cannes, it’s hard to describe to someone the magnitude of that festival.
Mountain of Montjuic: places that you will enjoy visiting this Spring
Hello my love, today we will know the wonders of the mountain of Montjuic, in the heart of Barcelona, an enigmatic place that awaits three sites that I particularly love because of its landscapes that invite you to fully enjoy a relaxing day.
Come with me!
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. If you are making mistakes…you’re Doing Something. “
National Museum of Art of Catalonia
Our tour in Montjuic begins with the National Art Museum of Catalonia, located at the foot of Montjuïc, next to the Plaça de Espanya, which stands out mainly for its exceptional exhibitions of Romanesque and Gothic collections, which are among the best in the world.
I like all the different forms of art, from sculpture and painting to drawing, engraving, photography, coins and posters, which illustrate with great precision the history of Catalan art between the Romanesque period and the first half of the 20th century.
When you visit the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Montjuic you can not miss its collection of romantic art, considered the best of the world and comprises a unique set of mural paintings of the Romanesque churches of the Pyrenees, as well as famous sculptures, wood and stone carvings, metal works and panel paintings.
The cactus garden in Montjuic
This is a beautiful landscape to enjoy taking photos with friends and family. It is located on the steep slope of Montjuic hill, facing the sea and below the Miramar esplanade in an area called; The Morrot
The gardens are named after the Mallorcan poet and priest Miquel Costa i Llobera and it has an impressive collection of Cactus from all over the world considered as the most important in the world within succulent plants.
The cactus garden of Montjuic reopened its doors in 2011 after 5 years of renovation.
The gardens were created in 1970 in an old quarry full of land of old military fortifications. The entrance to the park is located in Plaça de l’Armada at the southern end of the esplanade and the Miramar hotel.
The garden is home to an important collection of cacti, palm trees, euphorbia and other families of succulents from warm and tropical climates. Most of the vegetation in this garden are exotic species, which makes it one of its main attractions, but there are also Mediterranean trees (granada) that coexist in harmony with Australian trees and American trees (palm and paper sotol) of sandpaper, which live almost without irrigation).
The central square of the garden, a very attractive place, captivates us with the desert landscapes. You can see beautiful plants of good size, with special colors and shapes and spectacular blooms.
The Castle of Montjuïc
During your tour in Montjuic you can not miss the famous Montjuic Castle, an old military fort located on the top of the hill. You will definitely love the views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea that are wonderful from Montjuic during the sunset.
Montjuic was originally a fort of the defense of Barcelona, but later strengthened to keep the rebellious Catalan citizens under control in times of oppression and revolt.
Today, the Fort of Montjuic is only used for peaceful purposes, such as exhibitions and events.
The outdoor grounds of the fort are used for many summer activities, such as archery, concerts and open-air cinema.
To get to the military fort, Castell de Montjuïc, and enjoy the panoramic views on the way, take the Montjuic funicular from the Paralelo metro station, then cross the road and take the Teleferic de Montjuic cable car that takes you to the highest point in the mountain of Montjuic and the fort of Castell de Montjuic.
Escape the routine, come and enjoy Montjuic, live life in big … I’m Keilley Lee Marques, see you next time.

The also called 080 Barcelona Fashion is the benchmark in Barcelona and a classic in the city that this year also marked the local and global trend with the collections of Spanish and foreign designers.
But before talking about the best of this event, I want to tell you a little about what it is and what its essence is.
What is the 080 Barcelona Fashion?
The 080 week of fashion in Barcelona was born in 2007 with the aim of becoming a fashion reference and a platform for independent designers. This catwalk is inspired by creativity and innovation and is a reflection of Catalan and world fashion.
This event aims to turn Barcelona into a global showcase and an unmissable event for design lovers. Since its first edition, fashion week in Barcelona has been improving and today is a catwalk showcasing that creative and open fashion.
The designers of the 080 Barcelona Fashion 2019
As every year, in this edition the emerging designers had great prominence, on the catwalk three new fashion talents were launched. One of them was the signature 113 Maison, a proposal that presents its own look away from the patterns with an organic and artisan fashion.
In the same way first came Teo & Leah company known for its elegant informal design style and young designer Rubén Galarreta beaten with its colorful and exuberant collection that already captivated artists like Lady Gaga.

Fashion week in Barcelona: my favorite styles 080 Barelona Fashion Week catwalk was full of interesting collections, attracted a lot of attention foreign cultures inspirations, purely conceptual designs and sports gear and technology.
Ze García: The new collection by Ze García, entitled Origen, was one of my favorites for its Baroque inspiration with a contemporary touch. José María García González, designer and creator of the brand played with materials such as satin, tulle and silk clothes inspired by Rose Bertin, Minister Marie Antoinette fashion. Volumes on the sleeves define the tone, as well as loose necklines with pleats, shoulder pads and corsets.
113 Maison: this collection conveys the essence of the 080 Barcelona Fashion, drawings with a defined artistic identity, pieces made by hand with natural fabrics in white, gray and black.
Definitely, this set of large size pieces was the best and I hope to see them next year.
Cost Barcelona: Cost Barcelona presented its Aftersun spring-summer collection inspired by summer nights.
The tops were the protagonists of the parade, accompanied by skirts and pants, as well as the dresses and bodies, which despite being different from the designs of the brand follow the Custo genetics.
The news of fashion week 080 in Barcelona
This edition of the 080 Barcelona Fashion brought with it some innovations that made the experience even better, including:
Pop Ups Gallery: It was a new experimental space for the special public, where fashion brands exhibited their products as in an art gallery, accompanied by audiovisual projections and different djs.
Undress your mind: The new motto of the brand “Undress your mind” was created with the idea of abandoning the imposed conventions and opening up to the most creative fashion. This new motto is accompanied by a “claim” or claim that corresponds to a penguin, the animal that is forced to always wear a tuxedo. With all this, they tried to convey the idea of liberation and openness to encourage people to show their personality through clothing.
In addition, this edition also featured a fashion showroom and headquarters at the Barcelona Fashion Summit.
Each new edition of the 080 Barcelona Fashion is an opportunity to learn about new trends at first hand with the best fashion professionals, an opportunity worth taking advantage of.

Andorra: the little country in the Pyrenees mountains
When you have a career like Lubos it’s hard to know from where to start, but like always we will start from his early beginnings.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. If you are making mistakes…you’re Doing Something. “
If you are a winter person, if you enjoy snow and cold, don’t wait and book a getaway to Andorra. Even later days of winter and early spring, there is still some snow in the mountains of Andorra, especially well known Soldeu. It is my favorite and by its popularity, I am sure I am not alone. Soldeu has about 470 km squared, and offers great variety of ski experience. You can spend the whole morning and early afternoon on your ski, and try many ski slopes with different difficulties. There is also a place for you to relax, to eat well and of course, to drink excellent and inexpensive champagne.
You can stay in many different kind of hotels around the area. Obviously, everything has its own price, depending how much you want to spend and how much comfort you want to have. Right bellow the cableway that goes up to the mountain, there are famous hotels, Herrmitage hotel and El Sport hotel. Within reasonable walking distance (max 8 min), there are many other smaller hotels and apartments you can rent. Like I said, whatever suits you the best.
If you choose to rent an apartment there, there are few good restaurants and even a small supermarket that has everything one needs to pass a good time up in the mountains.
You can rent ski and leave them in the locker, everytime you go. No need to be dragging all the gear to your hotel or apartment.
Three hotels with at least 4 stars, dominate the Soldau area in Andorran mountain range. Their perfect infrastructure makes your stay very cozy and worthwhile. They are ready to accomodate any of your demands, with excellent spa area, kindergarten. It may not sound as important, but for families with small kids, it can be a deal breaker.
If you feel like to have a little bit of exercise, there is a nicely equipped gym, spacious enough to have a good workout. They even provide personal trainer, for guests, who need a bit of guidance.
Spa in Hermitage hotel is one of the best I have ever seen. It’s built in the lower level of the hotel with a very nice view of the snowy mountain ridge. They even have a hot tub jacuzzi outside, in the freezing cold. It’s for the brave ones.
Great thing is that you don’t have to be a visitor of the Hermitage hotel to get in. You just have to pay the entrance fee. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Ski slopes of Grandvalira
Now that you have settled in, you can have more options to have fun and move around, on the ski. From Soldau, you can take a different routes to the neighbours, like Encamp, Canillo, El Tarter, Grau Roig or Paz de la Casa.
Tourist on ski: that’s moreless what can you get here in high mountains of Andorra. Without taking your ski off, you are able to see most of the parts of higher mountains of Andorra, thanks to the good network within the slopes of Grandvalira.
It’s also great to go with kids. They have instalations for the beginners, starting at age of 3. They are assigned to the Snow garden, where they can get their first experience skiing and playing around on the snow or with the snow. Our kids loved it.
We haven’t skied past years, so we just let the kids have that experience. So what can you do up in the mountain while your little ones are enjoying the snow?
Well, you reserve yourself a table in Clicquot Snow Club Grandvalira,
where you can get a tan and a really good service for a good part of the day. You can start at 10, and you can stay up there all the way up to 16hrs. That’s where the sun goes down, and you really don’t want to chill out outside too much, because it gets cold. Remember, no sun no fun.
Like I said, make sure you get a reservation, especially on the busy times of the year, their top season. Their VIP lounge holds up to 30 people. You can enjoy the top champagne from the Veuve Clicquot brand, one of the top ones in the business.
For a good atmosphere, there is also a DJ on site, trying to give the people a good time, while breathing fresh air, drinking top champagne and taking some sun.
It’s a wonderful experience and you should try it with your loved ones or friends.
So don’t let the time slip away, Easter is coming up. Book you flight, and make it to Soldeu in Andorra for the last winter experience of the year.
