5 Ways to Wear Grey Jeans

October 20, 2014

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

October 15, 2014

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

October 13, 2014

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…

Exploring Boston: Back Bay

October 2, 2014

So, the time has come for me to share with you my photos of the different Boston neighborhoods as I explore them one by one! Today’s stop: the Back Bay! This neighborhood is ideal for house stalking! Really! It has so many nice buildings, with beautiful doors and exquisite details. Even if I didn’t know already that it’s expensive to live here I would have guessed it from the look of the buildings! Boston Public Garden or Charles Esplanade are good starting points for a exploration walk. For me the end point is always The Prudential Center, for the practical…

Galini Tavern, Plakias Crete

September 10, 2014

I maybe far away from Greece, but there are still some posts and photos from the past that I’m going to share here on the blog like this basic but wonderful tavern I visited while vacationing in Crete. It might not be trendy and stylish as the places I usually feature in my blogs, but it has really great food! Ideal after spending the morning (or afternoon) on the beach! Galini Tavern is located in a small and picturesque bay called Souda, near to Plakias village/beach in southern Crete (not to be confused with Souda near Chania, also in Crete). Galini translates…

Discover Kea

August 7, 2014

Kea is one of the largest islands of the Cyclades and the one closest to Athens. Yet due to its mountainous landscape and the fact that “locals” prefer their privacy vs. the influx of tourists (either from Greece or abroad), the island isn’t on a lot of people’s radar. Yet the Daily Telegraph discovered it and included it in their “secret” beach holiday resorts in Europe. So I thought that it was high time to post photos from my latest visit in Kea (also known as Tzia) here on the blog, back in 2012. I stayed over at a family…

Summer Blue

July 29, 2014

Is it in Miami? (nope) Malibu? (nope) Those palm trees you see are located in the National Garden in Athens. I’m spending my last week in Athens, before heading to Crete for my vacations and since I couldn’t hit the beach for technical reasons, I spent last Saturday afternoon in the city, eating sushi in Furin Kazan, stopping by the National Garden for some photos and then hitting the stores for luggage shopping. For this outing I chose an all (light) blue outfit consisting of my favorite denim shorts by Replay that I own for more than 5 years and…
