Acorn Street, Boston

Acorn street is a teeny tiny cobblestone street in Beacon Hill, Boston. Blink and you’ll miss it! That’s what happened to me when I first visited Beacon Hill at least. But that cute little street kept popping up on my Instagram feed, so as the sucker I am for cute streets and houses I had to visit. With a little help from Google maps and my exploration mode on I finally made it there today! So here it is ladies and gentlemen! One of the loveliest streets in Boston. Would love to live there by the way!

The blazer and t-shirt combination

This t-shirt was the last thing I shopped from Athens before flying here to Boston. I loved the color so much, I had to make it mine!! My friend who I was out with told me “you’re crazy, you’re going to the US, you will shop there!!” and I was like “yes, but I love this top and have to get it”! I love t-shirts because I can not only wear them by themselves when its warm enough, but I can also layer them under my cardigans during winter. And trust me, I have many cardigans! They’re usually beige, black…

A day trip in Salem

Salem is largely associated with the witch trials which took part in the late 17th century. The ironic thing is that the city actually thrives on the story of those witches, especially in October as “haunted happenings” are taking place all over the city. There are also a couple of museums dedicated to witches and not to mention that I came across a few psychics, palm readers, witchcraft stores!   I arrived in Salem by train and as I was walking down Washington street and then turning left at Essex, I was really not impressed by the city and I…

Exploring Boston: Beacon Hill

  Beacon Hill is one of the first places in Boston that I explored and I must admit the coziest one. It’s full of 19th century buildings, nice little squares and antique shops on Charles street. As my guide (Top 10 Boston) says this area screams “old money”, so my fellow Athenians could compare this are with Kolonaki. Minus the nightlife and the abundance of cafes and restaurants which Beacon Hill (compared to Kolonaki) doesn’t have. Charles street is actually the only street in the area with some serious commercial activity as it’s  full of antique shops, cafes and restaurants…

5 Ways to Wear Grey Jeans

  A few years ago I didn’t even own a pair of grey jeans, relying only my trusty blue ones and the occasional black pair! But as I rummages the sales stand in Zara one day I found a pair of skinny jeans in my size, realized that I look good in them and got them! Since then I styled them in various ways and on various occasions and I can tell you one thing: it’s like wearing a pair of blue jeans! They can be styled with almost every color! Which Colors Look Best With Grey Yellow and grey is…

Avli Restaurant, Rethymno

So, I’m taking a small break from showing you my whereabouts in Boston, to travel a little back in time to my summer vacations and introduce you to a little gem… If you’re visiting Rethymno, then Avli restaurant, should be on your “to visit” list. Located in a picturesque cobblestone, bougainvillea adorned little street in the Old Town, this restaurant offers a mix of traditional Cretan dishes, as well as “reformed” Cretan dishes as well (what I call “with a twist”). Avli in Greek means yard and that exactly is the main feature of the restaurant: a nice little yard adorned with…

Afternoon Stroll in Commonwealth Avenue

How could I possibly ignore the beauty of Commonwealth Avenue and not shoot an outfit post there? Yesterday was a lovely day and after enjoying brunch (which has almost become an institution here on Sundays) in Harvard Square, we ventured out in Boston for some photo shooting! If you’re a regular here, you probably seen these grey jeans many times. What can I say?! It’s my favorite pair of trousers! It’s so versatile and can be dressed up or down easily! The sweater though is a new addition. And being in the US it comes from a brand that even…
