On day 3, we decided to walk to Kolonaki for pancakes’ breakfast and then we spontaneously decided to “hike” our way to Mount Lycabettus. I’m not gonna say it was a piece of cake, especially since I’d stopped exercising for years months, but we did it anyway. The view from the top is simply magnificent. Even if it was windy and cold, it was worth it. So if you have some free time, and you’re up for some exercise, you can easily hike up there. Of course we’ve stopped many times along the way to take photos and enjoy the view, but it took us no more than 2 hours to go up and down the hill. After that we met some friends for an afternoon coffee, and had to try the “hot hot burgers” everyone was talking about. As you can see these photos are straight from my Instagram account, because I was too lazy to take pics with my camera. The night ended with drinks with a new friend (for me), and a bachelor party (for T. – not his of course). See you next time, with (probably) the final part of my Athens posts. Hope you like them.

Gray sweater dress in Athens | Outfits
Doing a little break from my usual “travel posts” lately to show you an outfit of the day. This is the look I was wearing when we visited Plaka/Anafiotika, which I showed you on the previous post. I bought this sweater “dress” before leaving for Athens, but to be honest I didn’t notice the huge side slits, before it was too late. Oops. A little sexier than I’d normally go for, but I really liked it so I wore it out with tights and my coat on top of course, since it was cold. I’ll probably sew part of the slits to make it an actual dress in the future. I prefer wearing it with tights anyway. You’ve probably seen this dress on Instagram, if you follow me there (if not, go ahead. You’ll find me as @doyouspeakgossip). I hope you like this look. It was definitely my favorite one of the trip. I’ll have a few more photos and posts to share with you from there, so I hope you do like these kinds of posts, and I’ll be back to my normal schedule soon.

Athens Part 2 | Travel
For our second day in Athens (if you haven’t seen our first day there, go check out my previous post here), I really wanted to visit Plaka and Anafiotika for a walk and some photos. We walked up and down many times and combed the whole area, and after that we went to an amazing place for breakfast (but more on that, later). We left the Acropolis Museum for day 2, because it was really busy our first day there, due to the National Holiday. Again, we walked through the museum, and took photos of the view from there, we sat for coffee at the café there, and left to go back “home”, grab a bite to eat, and go meet my lovely reader, who’s now a friend, Elena. The day ended with a passing by Fashion Room Service event, drinks at A for Athens hotel’s roof garden, and memorable desserts.

My month in pics | October 2015
Can you believe that October is almost over? I know I can’t! This was a quite full and stressful month, because I had a lot going on, and I was trying to schedule everything in advance so I can take a few days off and go to Athens, where I am right now. October was a cold and rainy month, which pushed us to take out our outerwear and winter footwear, and resulted in some casual and some weird outfits. I’ll link everything below. Let me know which was your favorite of the month! Also, because this post is scheduled, it doesn’t include my latest Instagram photos, so make sure to find me and follow me on Instagram too, to get all my new updates @doyouspeakgossip.

Artistry Exact Fit Powder Foundation set | Review

A few months back, I received this Aristry Exact Fit Powder Foundation set by Amway. Unfortunately, the color I received was too dark for my skin tone, so I couldn’t try it out and write my review. On my birthday though, my aunt gifted me with the right color for me, so when my old powder was finished I was finally able to try this one out.
