Aspects Of Style

Tunisia

June 4, 2014

Tunisia is the only African country I’ve visited and let’s say the most “exotic” one (although Istanbul can also be classified as “exotic”). My visit took place back in 2007 and although it was winter and also rainy (we were unlucky enough ti coincide with the few rain days that Tunisia gets within the year), it was a nice experience and we got to see the different aspects of this country. First of all: the desert! If you travel near the south borders of Tunisia you reach the region of Sahara dessert. For the first time in my life I…

Bohemian Grey

May 20, 2014

Yet another top with a bohemian vibe…Another favorite item in my wardrobe. I like it because it can be styled with any type of pants: skinny, bell bottom, straight leg and look great every time! This time I went for an all grey outfit paired with a pair of blue ballerina flats, which injects the necessary color dose to the outfit! What do you think of my outfit? How would you style a bohemian style top?

Walking Around Heraklion

May 13, 2014

It started off as an outfit post, but there were so many interesting places to shoot in Herakleion, so it kind of ended an outfit/travel post to compliment the previous posts about Herakleion here and here. The walk started from Chandakos street and more specifically from Pepe Nero restaurant, which I managed to visit this time and I will feature in the blog shortly! Herakleion’s new Library, located on “The Lions” square was our next stop. Maybe, the buildings pink-ish color played a role in choosing it as a photo background…just saying! The Venetian Loggia which now houses the City Hall…

Food & Drink

Parasties Restaurant, Heraklion

May 7, 2014

During my Easter vacations in Heraklion, I had the opportunity to dine in Parasties restaurant (the t is silent). Parasties is a Greek/Cretan cuisine restaurant, but it doesn’t look like your typical taverna. The interiors are a bit funky and I particularly liked the tiled wall behind a table for large parties. The food is really good and it’s not frilly. It has a large selection of appetizers and meat dishes. Of course we tried out mostly meat dishes like steak and lamb chops, as well as some side dishes such as fried potatoes, roasted mushrooms and omelette with spinach….

The one time I celebrated Queen’s Day in Amsterdam

April 26, 2014

I happened to visit Amsterdam in 2008 while the Queen’s Day (now King’s Day since King Willem-Alexander was crowned last year) and that was an experience. Although on the actual day we visited the Museums (they were open) and strolled around the city, we made sure to blend in with the crowd. You see on that day, everyone in Amsterdam wears orange so as to show their pride for the Dutch Royal Family, the House of Orange Nassau. As you will see I chose a pair of huge orange sunglasses (that I keep to this day) and an orange flower garland…

Bright Yellow Cardigan

April 22, 2014

No other color says SUMMER to me than a bold bright yellow! If it has a tendency towards neon, it’s even better for me! Whenever I wear this cardigan from H&M, people always comment how nice and summer-y it looks. Being a matchy-matchy person (we talked about my co-ordinating habits before) I tend choose neon yellow accessories whenever I wear it. These earrings are my pride as I made them myself!! A pair of grey jeans (these ones are from Zara) rounded up the outfit. Grey is one of the colours that match with yellow a lot. You should note that…

A quick guide to Lanzarote, Canary Islands

April 3, 2014

Do you have a travel “bucket” list? You know, the kind of list where you mentally write down the places you want to visit in your life. I don’t exactly have such a list, but there are a few places that I’d love to visit like Japan and California. One thing’s for sure: the Canary Islands weren’t on this list. But when the opportunity arose to visit one of them I hopped on board. I’m exaggerating a bit here, as I only visited one island, that being Lanzarote. It isn’t the most renowned island of the bunch such as Tenerife…
