Istanbul day 3

2011-08-29T17:13:00.001+03:00

In our third day, which was actually the last one since day four was all about returning to Greece, we started with a cruise in Bosphorus, where we had the chance to see a big part of the city's costal areas! The wind was blowing and my hair got all messed up but I really liked it!

Then we went to the Dolmabahce Palace, where photos were not allowed in the inside, but we took a lot in the beautiful garden!

And then it was time for Agia Sofia... the greek church which was built in the Byzantine times, then turned into a mosque by the Turks and today is a museum which has 2 million visitors a year! The architecture of the builiding is unique, even for today...

That night we wanted to visit the Galata Tower at night, which has a great view of the whole city, but we couldn't make it there because the police wouldn't let us(something had happened, which we didn't really understand). So we ended up in the club 360 in Taxim Square!

Istanbul day 2

2011-08-26T15:02:00.000+03:00

This was the fullest and most exhausitng day of our trip...we woke up at 7am(never good for me....) and started by visiting some greek churches!

Then off to the grand bazaar of Kapalicarsi, where I had a great time!We shopped some stuff(I'm definately regreting not buying more...) and then we sat in a really nice cafe inside the bazaar!

In the early afternoon we took the boat to visit the Prince's Islands, where I tasted the greatest banana ice-cream of the world!!!

We returned in our hotel at 8pm, had some rest and then off to have a quiet drink in a nice cafe-bar!

Istanbul

2011-08-24T15:47:00.001+03:00

Unfortunately I'm back from Turkey.... and I have to study as much as possible whiich is causing me a really big headache!

Our trip was great, I loved the city and I hope I can go back for more, since it was impossible to visit everything in 4 days(with only 3 of them full)!

This first part of photos is from the first day, night actually, where we had dinner in a really nice bar-restaurant in Taxim Square!From their terrace you could see the whole city!

Stay tuned for more soon!!!

A love at first sight

2011-08-07T21:15:00.003+03:00

Why everything good should come to an end??? I've never understood that stupid thing. This is what Ι think about when Ι leave beautiful places like this.... Hydra, the most beautiful island Ι've ever visited. Now I'm standing in front of my laptop comparing these carefree days to life in town, thinking οf the upcoming exams!!! O.M.G!!!!

I' ve heard that Hydra was a nice place but when the flying dolphin approached the port this was it.... love at first sight!!!! This year Ι decided to spend my vacations to a small island where a car would not be necessary and there is no place more suitable for that than Hydra. Not only cars are not accepted there, but bikes too!!!!!! Donkies and taxi boats are the only means of transportation. A little trip to old times where the graphic stone houses reminds you of the 60's when the island was the most cosmopolitan in Greece and I understand the reason why. More pictures of Hydra will be here soon, so be tuned!!!!!! Kisses!!!!

It's all about the details...

2011-08-06T13:15:00.001+03:00

The hand above is not mine...it's my cousin's!

I just really liked her bracelets and she agreed to let me take a couple shots!

Don't they bring a summer mood through the screen???I loved them..!!

*Probably the shortest post ever, but I need to get back to my relaxation plan!!!

How does it feel to turn 23?

2011-07-22T17:02:00.000+03:00

And the answer is bittersweet!

It's my 23rd birthday today and I have to admit I'm starting to feel a little old.....

The long absence from the blog is due to nothing more than me relaxing in my free time, that I had missed so much during winter!I hope I will start shooting some photos soon again!

I'm leaving to pay a visit to my bed and watch some tv..I know, I'm soooo lazy!!But I'm happy with it!

Have a great summer everyone!!!!!!!!!

NEW LOVE: Lorissa

2011-06-23T13:15:00.001+03:00

I've been dying to own the Lorissa pumps, since the first time I saw them somewhere online that I can't even remember!And a few days later we saw each other face-to-heel, in the Nak store, where I was buing a pair of boots!

I tried them on and there it was..I wanted to take them home with me!!!But their price at the time (250euros) made me think about it.."the sales will start soon, so you'd better wait". And so I did!

The sales came and their price dropped at 170e so I was ready..but then my mother came in the story and told me that it was still too much for these shoes. Do you know that effect that your mother's advices have on you?When you don't want to follow them, but deep inside you know that she is right??That's what happened to me...well, I was regreting it for the past 4 months, but finally the time came and she proved right!

A few days ago, I sent an e-mail (just out of curiosity and not expecting a positive answer..) to Nak's stock deparment to ask about them!In 30 minutes an employee called me and said that they had the shoes in their store in Athens, in my size!!And the price..oh, the price!Only 79 euros!!!!

I immediatelly ordered them and a couple days later they were delivered in my front door!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have to say THANK YOU MUM!!!

Block out

2011-06-18T14:19:00.000+03:00

A night photoshoot?Maybe not such a good idea, since mosquitos were raiding against us and the lighting was not ideal..however I actually like the result and the fact that we had to try harder, choosing the angles, because of the shades and everything, made us practice a little more!And practice makes better...!!

I chose a colourful outfit, since colour-blocking is quite the trend for Spring/Summer!I hope you like it!

...did you notice my silly-happy face in the third photo?I can't decide if I like it or hate it..I'm biased!

Summer night

2011-06-15T21:00:00.000+03:00

Who can resist to icecream???? Noone!!!! And as you can see these were so beautiful that totally deserve a post to our blog!!!!!!! It was a night full of calories !!!!! After these beauties we decided that a yummie corn would be perfect so we didn't think at all of our silhouette, but who cares!!!!! We had such a funny and ( tasty ;-) ) time!!!! Unfortunately i don'I have to show you an outfit photo, only my cute doggie bracelet but you took a taste of my zebra and Vicky's leopard sandals in a previous post!!!!!

Kisses!!!!

An overload of photos today, because I couldn't really choose between them!!And I have to tell you that I've already excluded and even deleted some..

I know that it probably doesn't look so, but what I'm wearing is a playsuit and a cardigan...Illusion!!!

The first all-in-one appearance in our blog is made by my old and trusty BSB playsuit, bought 5 years ago!I've already worn it like a thousand times already these past summers, from the beach to a night out with high heels!

I adore this piece, and it's definately one of the best buys I've ever done!And this summer I guess it's going to be even more appreciated!

Suede-ish

2011-06-13T16:02:00.001+03:00

Finally I had the chance to take a few shots of one of my favourite jackets!!!It was rainy and a little bit cold outside yesterday, so my suede love had to be taken out for a walk!

I love evetything in this jacket..the color, the suede leather, the puffy sleeves, the lenght!!I wish I could wear it every day!!!

Besides the jacket I feel the need to tell you the story of my bracelet..during my vacations last summer in the beautiful Ionian island of Lefkas, I found one of the cutest stores ever, named Gypseas!It was like a treasure chest..I loved everything in the store and the owners were really lovely people!

My choice was this cute bracelet by Sobral designs, a unique brand from Brazil that I haven't found anywhere else..

You need to pay a visit to the site(check it out here) and of course to Gypseas Lefkas where you can place your order too!!

Shoes-aholic

2011-05-23T23:46:00.002+03:00

A girl can never have enough shoes...

How true can that be??I clearly have an addiction to shoes that I can't seem to be able to tame with any way!

I guess I have a certain gene that makes me so sick about them, because I remember myself when being a little girl, trying on my mother's black pumps and my aunt's over-the-knee boots(well, they were actually up to my thighs since I was a 5-year-old) and strutting my stuff along the apartment!

You will probably say, that most girls do such things, but I come to tell you that I was more of a tomboy...so this is how my gene theory is explained!!

Anyway, I can't help myself from buying more and more and everytime I dress I start by picking the shoes!

I actually bought a new pair today(the Sam Edelman leopard "Gigi" sandal) and I saw 2 more pairs I'm dying to own at the store!

Will I restrain myself???Who knows...

P.S.: After reader's request I'm updating this post with the shoes' brands!So here we go, starting from top left:
Fornarina, Naya by Naturalizer, Steve Madden, H&M, Sradivarius, H&M, Zara, Askaridis, Nine West, Petridis shoes, Unknown, LaRedoute, Zara, Exe, Cuesto, Unknown, B.Zilly, Accesorize, Hookipa, Mango, Unknown, Blinko, Missoni, Zara, Stradivarius, Converse(x2), Schutz, Giuseppe Zanotti, Haralas, Miss Sixty

Like A Fish Out Of Water

2011-05-23T01:20:00.001+03:00

Isn't this the feeling you have when it's time for your first summer outfit of the year??When until yesterday you could wear your jeans and coats and now you have to get all exposed because it's too hot outside?

Well, I'm not talking about body issues(even models have them anyway..) but just the feeling when you realise that summer is finally here!And believe me, in Greece it only takes a day to get all summer-ish!So, there is no transition time!

After all this blah-blah-blah, I'm oficially presenting the beginning of summer outfits in Fashion Squared!And what is a good start, without my favourite pair of shoes?The Missoni knitted wedges!!I hope you like the outfit!

Gossip Girl: The Wrong Goodbye

2011-05-21T13:59:00.000+03:00

That's it...season 4 of GG is over!!The final episode gave me mixed feelings because I wanted Blair and Chuck together, but the final scene with the pregnancy test...OK, not complaining at all!!!

Georgina Sparks was hilarious as always, I love her character and you have to admit that Blair was never looking happier than in the scene of the first photo!

In addition, Vanessa and Jenny off the show?What more can I ask for??

Now that our beloved cast is on vacation, the weekly posts about Gossip Girl will have to stop too!So let's hope September comes soon...(or maybe not because this means the end of summer???mixed feelings, I told you about it!)

Take A Bow

2011-05-20T15:01:00.000+03:00

The weather changed again...I almost feel like I'm writing a blog about it because it's included in every post and every day is a surprise!!!!

Yesterday it rained for a few minutes and the sun disappeared for the whole day, but I'm not losing my spirng mood!

Floral top and bows!!Quite a spring combo, don't you think?

Also at the park I met this cute little dog, Remi, and we played with a piece of cloth that made her really happy!I guess this one is a great example to show us all that even the smallest and less worthy things can sometimes make us happy!!

*Ok, suede new shoes in the grass??I really must have liked Remi A LOT!!!!!

Quite a long time since our last outfit post, but you know what happens when you work too much...

However I've been dying to show you my new rings(yes they are 2 worn together) that were half bought by me-half a present from my aunt Thenia, so the outfit had to include them for sure!!

The weather still can't make up his mind, since it's sunny and hot in one moment and cloudy in the next and it even rains often!

At least I'm equiped with bright colours to make it through this madness!!!!!

And definately can't wait for the next episode...!

*The last two photos are not from the set of GG, but from a public appearance of Blake Lively in red hair!What are your thoughts?Hot or Not?

I know for sure that when I was a kid the combination of light blue and orange made me want to vomit...I'm kind of over it now however!Weird???
