About a week ago, it was my brother’s nameday, and we were invited at his house for drinks and finger food near the fireplace. Just us and his in-laws. So I had to pick something cozy to wear, ‘cause the weather was horribly cold. I changed my mind many times about my outfit but finally decided to go like this:
I had this outfit as an idea in my head for a while now, but kept postponing it. But I think that it’s finally time to show it to you, before the summer ends.
It’s inspired by the one and only Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City, by an outfit she wore on season 5 creating one of this summer’s biggest trends, colorblocking.
I was thinking what should my next post be about, and then I got an idea. I will present you my favourite outfits I wore on the blog so far. I don’t do outfit posts on a daily basis, so this can’t be a monthly column, but I will give you my top 5 of my favourite outfits.
It was a really difficult choice, because I couldn’t easily narrow it down to just 5 outfits, but my bf helped me choose. So, there you go, here’s my top 5 list.
Starting from my favourite to the least one of the 5!

I know it has been a while since I got this award, but I didn’t have the time to write my post and pass it on until now.

Summer isn’t over yet; in fact here in Greece most people are taking their summer leave near August 15th, which is a national holiday (August 15th is one of the biggest holidays in Greece, as it’s the Assumption of Mary according to Christians).
This post isn’t about fashion but it has to do with one of my passions. That is summer cocktails. Not only do I like drinking them, but I also love making them. That’s something that I “inherited” from my father. He always liked to have all possible drinks at home, so he could make cocktails and other drinks for his friends. This way, everyone would be happy.
Today, I’ll write about my favourite kind of cocktails, sweet ones! Basically, margaritas but with a twist, making them more close to my personal likings.
If you are under-aged, this is not a post for you!
Basic Margarita Recipe (not pictured-altered to fit my likings!)
Instructions: In a cocktail shaker combine all ingredients with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a salt rimmed stemware or Martini glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.
2 oz. tequila
2 oz. Cointreau
3 oz. lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Strawberry Margarita
Using the Basic Margarita recipe, use again 2 oz. Tequila, 2 oz. Cointreau, 2 oz. of lime juice this time and add some fresh strawberries (or strawberry juice if you like – about 3 oz. of it). Instead of salt, use sugar to rim you glasses. Garnish with a strawberry or a slice of lime again.
