Travel | London Day 1

Dec72012

On the 23rd of November, I travelled to London with my boyfriend and my cousin…I realize now, that it’s been over a week that I have returned, and I haven’t posted anything about my trip yet. In my defense, I didn’t have enough time, till now to look at the photos and create a post. Plus, I wanted to do my giveaway first, to give you plenty of time to enter, before Christmas (in case the winner wants to order something for the holidays)! If you haven’t entered the giveaway yet, you can do it now. But it’s only open for my Greek readers this time, so I ask my international readers to forgive me for this. Today, I’m sharing with you my first full day in London. Meaning, I arrived there at 2AM, so my days there started on Saturday morning.

December’s wishlist

Dec32012

Can’t believe December is already here! It’s the month of Christmas and for that I love it very much! I can’t wait to decorate my house with all things Christmas and bake my sweet treats, something that has become somewhat a tradition. This month I picked for my wishlist, a wide range of beautiful shoes. I hope you like them as well. Let’s admire them together, shall we?

Luxury watches for men

Nov212012

With Thanksgiving around the corner and Christmas only 1 month away, we’re being exposed to hundreds of ads every day, as gift season is approaching with a fast pace. I love Christmas and I love giving gifts to my loved ones, and so I couldn’t help but unintentionally start searching for the perfect gift for my boyfriend. You see December is not only the month of Christmas, but also the month of my boyfriend’s birthday! Last year, I gifted him with 2 pairs of shoes (! – what else did you expect of me?), and during the rest of the year, I bought one more pair for him. I know he doesn’t like shopping (most men don’t), so I try to buy him thoughtful gifts that will also be practical. This year, I have a few things on my mind, and I want your opinion on the first one. I always wanted to buy him a watch, but our tastes in this area, are very different. I like them simple and minimal, and he likes them big with all the “bells and whistles”. So my search for the perfect watch for him started!

Holiday Diary

Jan62012

Hello sweeties! How was your week? It’s Friday today, and I’m really excited, cause we’re almost 1 week away from my little Blog’s first anniversary, which gives me great pleasure. I may have a surprise for you, but you will have to stay tuned to find out, so follow this blog any way you like! I would be grateful.

I’m also really excited to finally have the holiday photos ready for you, as I promised on my previous posts! As many of you may already expect, there are mostly food pictures, a few gifts, decorations and some miscellaneous stuff. But those of you who follow my blog for a long time, know how much I love cooking and baking. So let’s get started!

Every year around Christmas, for the last 5-6 years, it has become a tradition for me to make Christmas treats. It may have taken me a little bit longer this year due to the problem I had with my oven, but I finally made them. My close relatives and friends know by now that they should expect a big platter of my homemade melomakarona as a gift. Melomakarona are a traditional dessert of Greek cuisine, prepared primarily during the Christmas holiday season. They can be generally described as “Christmas cookies soaked in syrup of diluted honey (méli in Greek) and then sprinkled with crushed walnuts” (source).

How to dress for holiday parties

Dec182011

Hello, hello!! How was your weekend? A new week starts today, and in the end of it there’s Christmas. I’m sure many of you will have lots of parties to attend this week, and maybe the next one too. So, I prepared for you a post to give you some ideas of what you could wear at those holiday parties (Christmas, New Year’s Eve etc.). I hope you enjoy reading this post, and you find the perfect dress among my recommendations.

It took me a while to create this whole post (a real pain, with all these hyperlinks and collages), but I really enjoyed making the collages.

So, let’s start with the more affordable dresses you could wear, since most of us are on a tight budget, and haven’t much money to spend on it. But we still want to wear something new, and look glamorous in it. Am I right?
