Close, but not stilleto :)

Hahaha, I just took this quiz recommened by How About Orange.

Try it yourself, it's quite tricky! I got 4 out of 6 right, which means that I am close, but not stilleto. Still, I am so lucky that I did not go below 3 - being designer DNA defficient would just ruin my weekend! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Unfortunately the end of the summer is approaching... It is not happy news but my itinerary for September is nice enough to keep me looking forward to the beginning of autumn.
Even though, it is nice to look back at the summer photos to realize, we have done a lot of cool stuff together!

Alexa Chung for Madewell fall collection

Hmm... It is a bit playing with my own feelings, when I watch the previews of the fall collection of Madewell by Alexa Chung. Even Madewell prices are not very affordable for me plus it means again shipping from US... Probably not gonna happen, but still, so nice to see those pieces!

I luv Greece...

I did not get yet to write about Greece. And Greece was amazing. I still keep my flight ticket, just for memory:)

What I will remember the most and why:




1) Very top of Lukavittos hill in the middle of the night - for amazing view and thoughts on how suprisingly small this world is

2) Anafiotika - for wondering how this cute maze of tiny little streets and houses can be hidden so well in peace, just 5 minutes away from the "city jungle"...*

3) Stoned wall on the outer side of Hydra - for beautiful sunset, amazing view on the harbour and no crowd around.

4) Open air cinema in the heart of Athens - for carefuly selected good movies that you have never had a chance to see before, for a view on Akropolis and for cinema time with simultanous cigarette and ice cream!

5) Cute restaurant right by the sea in the ancient Epidavros. For good mood and good food.

6) Enlighted petrol stations in the middle of the night. For petrol, when you think you are not gonna make it home cause all other stations are closed...

7) Tent almost next to sea - for the simplicity of good time

*Every now and then you might see a lost tourist desperately looking for entrance to Akropolis and melting fast in 40 degrees sun.

Getting older

No, I do not have birthday today... However, today morning, I was checking the Facebook of my dear cousin Ola and I loved the songs that she was posting there - and I realized, I didn't know those songs! That's the music of the next generation! I used to show her my music!! Now my little cousin is all grown up and instead, I m all old and outdated...aaaaaaaaa!

Promise number 1: by checking the music of my cousin, I will pretend that I m following the music developments.

If promise number 1 fails, I will

Promise number 2: keep my grounds that back in the days the music was simply better. :)

As for today's fullfillment of promise number 1, here is to all of you who, as me, realized, after 25 its easy to become very quickly much less cool...

Trendilemma

Do you know the feeling of everlasting considerations before choosing outfit that is just in? I don't know about you, but I always keep on wondering which trends are suitable for me, what can I/can't I pull off?

Below some thinking for you to do... what do you choose?

Please don't blame me for being a bit over the top about it! :)

Free girl from Free People

I did some reading on thee Free People website and I must say: I love how well the site is done, plus, I sincerely like their stuff.



The description of the girl they target is:

And that's just who we wanted to reach: a 26-year-old girl, smart, creative, confident and comfortable in all aspects of her being, free and adventurous, sweet to tough to tomboy to romantic. A girl who likes to keep busy and push life to its limits, with traveling and hanging out and everything in between. Who loves Donovan as much as she loves The Dears, and can't resist petting any dog that passes her by on the street.

At least the age and the dog petting fit to me:)

Aaaand... if you want to learn how to manage your hair better, watch Free People fishtail braid how-to! blog video. So useful!

Summer heat

Ok, having above 30 degrees temperatures in consecutive 2-3 weeks...

In these times you realise that most of you summer clothes are somehow way too thick (Black t-shirt? What was i thinking?? Leggins to the mini skirt???).
TGFS - Thank God For Sales- you get new summer clothes. You only feel like wearing white... even if normally takes u less than 5 minutes to get any white clothes dirty. Still. You take the risk. You buy an orange lipstick to add some edge to white clothes you are wearing. White clothes - orange lips - brown skin - blue sky.

And suddenly the best timing to get an ice coffee at the terrase is at midnight...

Summer caught us by surprise, but please, let it last...

Shirt dress

When I bought my "shirt dress" in Poland, I knew I saw it somewhere before... I found what I meant on Nasty Gal today :)
