Mixing Neutrals & Burgundy

What better colors to wear on a cold winter day (although it wasn’t the season’s coldest) than winter pastels and a pop of burgundy? The day I wore this outfit we went for lunch at Ergon, a nice restaurant hailing from Thessaloniki to celebrate my name day (back in December). The restaurant easily became a favorite of mine and a review is coming up on the blog next! After lunch we wandered around the neighborhood and shot some of the photos outside Electra Metropolis, a new luxury hotel which opened recently. I haven’t been inside yet, but I loved those…

Sunday in the City (and my new beige boots)

Hello friends! How are you doing? I’ve just come off a long weekend (Monday was a holiday) but very cloudy and rainy. That’s why I’m reminiscing of the previous weekend when it was pleasant and sunny, os I took out my beige boots for a walk. On that said weekend, my husband ventured out in Gazi neighborhood of Athens. The area took its name by the Natural Gas plant that operated in the area, which is nowadays used for various exhibitions (in the past it has housed an art exhibition and numerous fashion shows), but also houses the Industrial Gas…

The Ideal Travel Outfit

It’s been a while since I traveled by airplane. My last trip was back in October when I visited Thessaloniki, but I have to say that 2015 was the year I traveled the most, clocking more than 20 hours of air travel! I mean wow! You see I had to take advantage of living in the US to explore the country and visit as many states as possible! 2015 was also the year I mastered to pack a hand luggage with all my essentials and draft out the ideal traveling outfit which is both stylish and practical. (ok more practical…

What to Wear: Leisure Walk

I love to walk and take advantage of every opportunity on doing so, even in downtown Athens. It’s easier to walk while on vacations though, even on the beach, on the promenade or on country roads. The latter happens when I visit my husband’s village in Crete, which is up in the mountains and has a couple of trails that I like to walk on! I was there last August and although it was very hot in the coastal towns, it was rather windy up in the mountains, where the village is located (that’s why you’re seeing a cardigan in…

My ideal tropical print dress

Until 8 years ago I didn’t own anything floral…I went only for monochrome (meaning one color and not black and white) clothing pieces or striped one, but never floral. Until I found the perfect floral dress for me…it was dark blue and had brown, white, burnt orange and baby blue colored flowers. A few years ago I stumbled upon this tropical print dress, during the summer sales! I was in a shop with my mum and she looked for a dress and of course I perused the racks too and found this little gem! I loved the colors: emerald-green, blue,…

What to Wear: Sightseeing in Knossos

Last week I spent the first part of my vacations in Crete! The plan included relaxing, swimming, attending a wedding, road tripping and visiting Knossos, which was the palace of the mythic King Minos and also the oldest palace in Europe! I will update you with more details on a separate post, but for today I’ll talk about my outfit and give tips on what to wear while sightseeing in Knosos (and any archaeological site in Greece really)! Comfortable shoes is the priority here, as the terrain is rough at some points plus palace of Knossos is huge so you’re bound…
