Happy new year + January desktop calendar

Happy new year everyone!! Hope you've had a lovely Christmas and New Year's day! I've been working through the holidays, only took the important days off and it was so nice to finally have time to just sit with friends drinking wine and talking nonsense!  I didn't do anything special for New Year's, I was working on the 31st and after cooking my first burgers (total success!) I felt so sleepy there was no way I would go out...! Each Christmas I'm daydreaming of having my own home to decorate and cook and call friends and every year I tell myself to be patient, it can't be too long. :)



I also made two vertical wallpapers for your phone! Now that I got an iPhone I'm searching all around for cool wallpapers and fun apps! Just click on each image to get the full size file! (The beautiful stock photo is by Jay Mantri.)

   

Long time no talk!

Hello everyone! I hate to leave my blog like that, no posts in weeks, but I've targeted my free time on building my personal website! Other designers need almost a year to finish and others just a few months, personally I still have no idea..! It's the usual problem, making something professional enough but also to present your style, and I like so many design styles, I'll probable change my homepage a million times before I'm done!

Anyways, in the meantime check this perfectly decorated home, this amazing ultra-modern clock and these lovely Christmas wrapping printables by my friend Lorelai!

Worn / Sister coffee date

Boots: New Look Elmo boots, Asos | Jeans: Pull & Bear | Embroidered shirt: Zara | Duffell bag: Pull & Bear

Hey there! I suppose in other countries Autumn is there for good, but here it's still sunny and most days you don't even need a jacket on! But I can't wait for colder and cloudier days! Today I went for a walk with my sister who wanted to take photos and I was like "at last!" so I chose this beloved shirt which I hadn't really worn much, even though I have imagined many outfits since I bought it..! I also got my new booties from Asos (originally from New Look but Asos sells them as well) this week and I adore them! They have a 5cm heel, enough to make it more stylish but low enough to be comfortable for everyday! Oh, and my moon & star necklace is an everyday-wear now, you know, Halloween is close and I try to be witchy..!

Weekend mornings

These weekend was full relaxation, no exams reading, no work waiting to be done either. I spend more time with my sister and friends, read my book, watched 3 Harry Potter movies in a row and spend a lot of time on creativity inspiration. My cell phone broke on Tuesday so no instagram for a while, thankfully my old camera still works!

I chose the giveaway winner last night and it is Greta Forino (as you can see in the Rafflecopter widget)! Congratulations on the winner and thank you all for entering!

Birthday gifts!

Hey there!I really should put some more effort in my posts..! Between work and exam studying the only time I had was the weekend, it's weird how on the one hand I want to have a job on my proffesion but on the other hand I'm so eager for my internship to end because it's so tiresome. Anyway! On August 31st I had my birthday and was so excited with the gifts I got!

My boyfriend got me this new old Polaoid 600 camera (old because it's made in the 80s, new because it's never been used) plus 2 packs of film from Impossible Project! I was always eyeing the Fuji Instax because it's more affordable and has cheaper film but he wanted to get me "the real deal" so yeap, I'm super excited to try it!

The knitted clutch/book-cover (especially handy when you want to carry a book in your bag but dread ruining the cover and pages) is from my best friend, who knits perfect things with her mother and the lovely pink-nude heels from my sister! It's a pity they're more spring/summer-y and it's already September but I'll try to wear them as long as it's not too cold! (and maybe try them with tights to see how they look..!)

A short trip to Athens

On Monday I traveled to Athens for 3 days to visit my dad and we did a little tourism on a few sights I hadn't seen, the new museum of Acropolis and the National Gardens. I think if I lived there I'd probably visit the Garden all the time, it's not huge but we don't have many similar places here so it's good enough for me! Next day my friend Athena walked me around some places I had seen before and some I hadn't, and took some photos with my awful camera.

Some silly notes: I dyed my hair really dark - the sun and sea fade hair color so quickly so I went darker to last more months, and it's a little weird still, I hadn't had black hair since 2009! You see me wearing my Jelly shoes? Wrongest decision ever! With all the walking around I did, 5 hours later I ended up limping and it took one day for the pain to go away! (I still got blisters)

Snapshots from July

Hey there! July just passed so quickly and thank god the sea is so close to where I live! An 1-hour trip and you get to turquoise water beaches sourrounded by rocks, trees and mountains in the distance, I swore a little that I didn't have any better camera than my phone! This summer I don't think I'll go anywhere particular for vacation, as me and my boyfriend will have a leave from work on different dates, but we plan on going camping each weekend!

  
  
  

That lovely tote is a gift I got from a sweet girl I still haven't met and the last photo is from my boyfriend's band's studio. What about you? Any special vacation planned?!

A short trip with the girls!

Last weekend me and my best friend Helene visited our dear friend Lorelai, who lives in a city 2 hours from ours. Larissa is a big city which surprised me pleasantly as it's more beautiful and more fun than I expected! We had walks by the river and in a lot of parks, through city alleys and had lunch in the most perfect tavern ever!

Lost between autumn and spring

I try to find my routine in between cold and warm days, days full and empty, drinking lots of coffee and trying to find inspiration in new things. There are days when I feel like I'm only really living in my head and that's when I want to figure ways to do more. I should probably find more ways of being creative, more photography, visit the always-dissapointing library for something new to read, start exercising or take short trips with friends or my boyfriend. I finally found an internship (starts on April!) and I want to take the job as a motivation to start all these!
