Hello everyone! How was your weekend? We had a 3-day one here in Greece so we surely enjoyed our time-off. Apart from the weekend, we had a really sunny and spring-like week, and that was really the best part for me. However, we had these photos shot the week before that, when it was still freezing cold, so the parka and the thick layers were needed. I couldn’t resist the chance to show my new parka jacket again, because I truly love it. It’s warm and comfortable and I can’t believe I didn’t own one before. Today’s look is super casual, and so are the next ones that are going to follow, but I know you like those so I hope you enjoy the photos. See you again on Thursday!

Essence quick & easy sponge nail polish remover review
When I first bought and tried this nail polish remover I wasn’t impressed because it didn’t remove my nail polish effectively. However, I gave it another chance to prove me wrong and to my amazement, it did. Not only it removed my nail polish, it removed a glittery nail polish, and we all know how difficult these are to remove, don’t we? Since then, I’ve been using it exclusively and it has worked great, again and again. I have no idea, why it didn’t the first time I used it, but I’m happy it does now. It has 75ml of product but it’s enough. It’s very easy to use, you just rub your nail against the sponge it has inside the bottle and it gets removed quite easy. It also smells great, or as great you would expect a nail polish remover to smell, so I definitely recommend it, as it’s very inexpensive too. My rating is 4.5/5, only because it didn’t work great the first time I used it. Other than that, I’m happy with it, and I’d definitely be buying it again in the future.

This post is long due, since I’ve been meaning to make it for over a month now. Do You Speak Gossip? actually turned 6, last month, and I wanted to make a special post to celebrate its anniversary, as I do every year, but due to the bad weather, and the fact that we couldn’t catch the balloon store open, we postponed it again and again. But I’m finally here today, with my balloon, and the outfit I had in mind when I imagined this post, so I guess better late than never. Right? Once again the weather was very cold so my balloon looks deflated (what a surprise! I was expecting it since our previous photoshoot with the balloon), and it was so windy that it was almost impossible to photograph it the right way, but heyyy… we did it! This is actually the look I wore on Valentine’s day, and I loved loved loved it!!! It’s way too light for the season, but I couldn’t wait to wear it. I can’t believe that my little blog turned six this year. I feel like it was just yesterday when I started it. I can’t say that I’ve achieved my goals about it, not even close, but I’m doing my best every day to make them happen! I’m sure that one day all this hard work will pay off. Hopefully that would be sooner rather than later. So apart from a post, I decided to also celebrate it with an international giveaway, with 2 winners. Each of them will win 1 liquid matte lipstick by Golden Rose (no.10). Stay tuned to my Facebook page to learn all the details, because the giveaway will take place both on my Facebook and my Instagram account, and you’ll be able to take part in both.

Parka stories | Outfits
It seems that I succumbed to the whole khaki parka frenzy that’s been happening this year, and I don’t have any regrets, because from the day I got this faux fur khaki parka, I’ve been wearing it non-stop. I was worried that maybe I wouldn’t be able to color match it to the items in my closet, but I didn’t have any problems so far. It’s comfortable, cozy, and stylish enough for my casual everyday looks. And I don’t have to wear my black coat all the time now. My only problem with it is that I got it full price, 2 days before the sales started. I’m THAT unlucky! Not that it was too pricey anyway, but I would definitely prefer it if I was getting it on sale. This time I color matched it perfectly with my khaki jeans, making me look like a soldier. lol It was comfortable enough for a day downtown. Hope you like it!

Valentine’s ootd | Outfits
Happy Valentine’s Day sweethearts! I hope you all have a great time with your other half, or with your gals (Galentine’s Day anyone?). I thought I should dress accordingly for the day. I seriously can’t miss a chance to dress thematically, and since I was going to be posting on Valentine’s Day, I bought a heart balloon for my photos. It looks a bit deflated but that’s because helium “shrinks” when it’s cold outside Did you know that? I actually had just gotten the balloon and it looked great before and after, when I had it in warm spaces, but out in the cold..not! So please forgive the fact that it looks deflated in some of the pics. It really wasn’t. I didn’t want to wear too much red, and I’ve already shown you many outfits for the same occasion in the past so I didn’t want to dress the same. But I hope you like my look. Check out my video at the end of this post, to see how I did my heart-shaped manicure. It’s in Greek, but I’m showing the process step-by-step, so it’s easy to understand it. See you on Thursday sweeties! ♥
