White shirt & beautiful necklace

Here I am once again, alive... well, maybe a little injured, but recovering. I have undergone a surgery, I took my first steps again, I went through things I couldn't imagine before.

About it all, I hope to write one day especially for those with the same health issue and going through the same experience. Now, the most important thing is that I feel better as the days go by. I took the opportunity and during my daily walk around the house I snuck a few photos. It really helps a lot after a week nailed to the bed.

The necklace I got as a present from my sister and I tried to find something simple to highlighted it, but to be comfortable at the same time. Until my abdominal muscles will recover I'm the proud bearer of a four months pregnant-like belly, so my outfit options are limited in some way. 

I want to take the opportunity to thank those who have stood by me for the last few weeks. It seems best to do it now while my hair is decent, I'm wearing eyeliner and I'm not as pale as usual. 

Love you!

Dots

I won't tell you I' m feeling wonderful, because I had better days. But what I can tell you, is how good it felt wearing such a short dress... Maybe it's a sign I turned 30. Again. 

I couldn't sit still for a second to the despair of my boyfriend struggling to take some reasonable shots with a camera that would not focus. 

Africa- Mix and Match

Africa has always fascinated me. I feel that everything that comes from there has a special scent, that their music carries me in a mystical dance across the dunes. The people of Africa have a rich culture and this is reflected in their daily clothing. Each culture preserves its ethnic and distinctive features.

Whether it's about style or design, their clothing reflects the personality of beautiful, strong women and each piece of cloth symbolizes the characteristics of a particular culture. The patterns and the fabrics are simply wonderful; each design is symbolic and has a hidden meaning. African clothing styles thus succeed in reflecting the community, location, social status, beliefs of indigenous citizens and gain popularity in fashion shows worldwide.

I may not know much about symbolism, but I hope that I managed to be at least decent... 

Kamea and Chihuahua

Today I am wearing a dress I thrifted for a few euros from a local store and I am lucky enough to have some time for a few shots.

I remember surfing the fashion blogs some years ago and seeing so many expensive brands and not daring to dream about my own blog.

A beautiful style does not mean expensive clothes. You can dress well, you can be beautiful, fashionable, even if you make your own clothes or buy them at second hand shops.

So, my dear, if today you find yourself with a low self esteem, I write for you to know that you can do it, too.

I am known among my friends as a bargains hunter ... maybe it's a talent I have developed over time.

If I have a budget for shopping, I prefer the sales period,

Many times I have been lucky to find that and the last available pair of  some shoes I loved was my size and reduced with 70%. I  would give up any day any Mall in Dubai for a bazaar in Morocco.

I have no problem to look for a vintage item in a charity shop. It's a whole adventure and you'll be amazed what you can find there.

I'm exchanging clothes with my girlfriend whenever we get bored of something and I'm receiving donations also (hahaha!)...

Cheers to Alexia, as she added a few pounds and she had to donate me a bag full of goodies!

Aaah, and sometimes I steal from my sister <3.

Preppy match

This look is very much like what I wear every day to work. Minus the skirt lenght. The preppy style has made ​​its mark on the way I dress, maybe since the time of my first job. From Ivy League school campuses, this style has come to be reflected in the wardrobes of  professional women and in several of the major desingners' collections. Classical ensembles, often worn by women entrepreneurs on the East Coast and not only, include tailored skirt suits,low heels,wrap dresses,silk or cotton blouses and exquisite jewelry. Such clothing often includes elements drawn from typical preppy style like nautical stripes, pastel or equestrian details. Baseline examples of the preppy style include Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Gloria Guinness, Babe Paley, Slim Keith or CZ Guest- all women whose style is often referred by designers.

Stripes walking free near Cape Greco

Hello, everyone! Welcome summer!

It has been a while since I last posted and I rushed today to upload a short post. 

On my friend's birthday, I spent a beautiful day by the sea, so I got the chance of taking some shots. The outfit is simple and confortable, perfect for a day outdoors.

I am beeing generous with the photos because I know for sure you will enjoy the scenery. They are taken somewhere near Cape Greco, Protaras, Cyprus. If you intend to visit, do not write your name on the tables! It's not fashionable here :)

See you soon!

Mirror lenses and mustard

I don't always follow trends. When it comes to what we wear, we dress according to our personality and/or the mood we're in. I like to know what the suggestions of the great designers are and, occasionally, some match my style or they suit me at first sight. Today I chose two of the options you will see increasingly often this summer: the mirror shades and mustard. If the sunglasses didn't convinced in "The Matrix", now you can find them in various shapes and I'm sure you can find a pair to your liking. They look good with casual, bohemian outfits, at summer festivals and especially on holidays together with vaporous dresses. If you go with mustard it change your day - it's a cheerful colour, full of positive energy. For top results pair it with dark colours in order to highlight it. Also try matching mustard with dark chocolate, burnt orange, turquoise or emerald green to give an autumn touch to your outfit, with a perfect harmony of colours. 

If none of these suit you, try wearing a smile. It will look gorgeous on you! 

Earth Day

Hi everyone! Nice to see you again! I hope you are well and that you all had a wonderful Easter! 

On April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day. It is the day when people from 190 countries around the world, unite and demand support for environmental protection. Every year they plant trees, collect garbage, save energy. A nice example and also a warning sign.

I tried, in my own way, to remind you that nature is beautiful and we should appreciate her beauty today and every day for that matter.

We can all help more and more often.

How do you feel about recycling clothes?

Quilted

Easter is coming and I would not have missed the opportunity to wish you a Happy Easter and thank you for all your support over a nice year.

I will not give you advice on what you can cook on this occasion (there are others who do a thousand times better than me), or even what to wear.

Whatever you might choose, trust yourselves!

The catcher in the rye

I love things that have a story to tell! 

The story of Holden Caulfield, told with shaded humor by Salinger, I received it at the exact age when I needed to know that I wasn't the only one who was frustrated,  betrayed in love, polite when I was feeling the need not to be... It was back when I still thought that I can change the world.

I remembered the novel not by accident and by this means I would like to thank a pretty lady. 

I had the rye field and a dress since i was eighteen.

My turn to be the catcher...
