FIRST BLOOM!

Due to the long winter and unusually cold and rainy spring until the end of May as in large areas of Europe, the season is way behind and most flowers, fruits and cultures are very late this year. So, here is my first oleander bloom on my balcony! :)

Giveaway Winner - Triada... the Spring Lady!!!!

Good Morning my friends!

I hope you had an amazing weekend. Mine was simple perfect, full of feelings and laughs! A birthday party with my little girl, great playing times with family, a launch with an adorable friend! So many things to remember and I wish more to come!

I am really excited with Triada's giveaway that has ended a couple of hours ago, for two reasons. First that you loved her work. I adore it and admire it so it was great just to see that many of my blog friends have the same opinion with me. And the second reason is because it is really beautiful to have in your small blog good friends. The small "about" from Triada just gave me the opportunity to learn more things for the Spring Lady. Hope you enjoyed it also.

Thank you Triada for being in my blog, it was really an honor!

Fashion Trends - Color Blocking No 2

Good Morning my friends!

Friday is already here!!! wow...time goes by so fast sometimes! Today there are two different posts in my blog since Fashion Trends are up and also my first blog hop as a co-host! For the second one, I am really honored and it will be a great experience to join this party and meet other bloggers!

So lets see... on previous week my friend Vasso from PinezaJewelry started a beautiful Fashion Trends post for Color Blocking. She also shared with us a few tips about it. I decided to continue with this topic also today, but I have a common color for my three outfits...and this is orange! Maybe one of the greatest colors for this period but it is also a beautiful color for Autumn...or Spring...even for winter! 

A beautiful idea for your Friday exodus is always an outfit with two bright colors. Use a monochrome dress and combine it with also monochrome accessories from another bright color...Monaco Blue for example!

1.Dress 2.Earrings 3.Bracelet 4.Shoes

Floral is always in fashion, so a beautiful maxi dress with  big and bold print can be perfect for a romantic outfit that actually is not that romantic... you will definitely be the center of the party! Use accessories of the floral print's color and if you want to give a spark in your appearence, use them in neon or with stardust shades.

1.Earrings 2.Bracelet

For a more casual appearance that at the same time remains elegant and with a romantic tone, you may use monochrome cloths and accessories, not necessary in the same colors. Just keep in mind not to use more than three colors  if you do not want your outfit to became very "bold". Use a parse that will combine all the three colors and it will definitely bring a hippie and unique note in your appearance! 

1.Ring 2.Necklace 3.Earrings

Have a wonderful Friday and an amazing weekend!!!!

2,000 m

Lac du Mont-Cenis, 2.000 m

The Mont-Cenis is a mountain pass and lake connecting Italy and France, and it is one of the Alpine passes which are closed in the winter. The street has just been opened (usually it gets opened around mid-May, which involves "cutting" the snow which still blocks the shady parts of the road, and cleaning the road from stones and rocks which have rolled down during the long winter months), and spring is just slowly starting to show at this high altitude. The light is amazing, and wild crocus is in bloom, forming lovely white and purple patches. Soon lots of Alpine flowers in the most beautiful colors will cover these Alpine meadows, and Alpine cows will be grazing the high-altitude pastures. It is fascinating to see spring just starting up here, while in the valleys and plains it is almost summer. I love this place, and you're going to see a lot of it in the summer! :)

Fashion Trends - Yellow!!!!!

Hello my beloved friends!

It's time for our weekly Fashion Trends report! And this time our post is for yellow! Spring is here and soon Summer will be, so let's use more colorful clothes or accessories.  One of the most usual and at the same time trendy colors to wear is Yellow in every single shade! A beautiful color, very bright that can be wearied in many different styles!

A short yellow dress in 60's style is the perfect choice for our Friday night exodus! Combine it with black cute accessories and black patent leather shoes and you will be always in fashion! A petite and preppy style at the same time!

1.Dress 2.Shoes 3.Earrings 4.Bracelet

Yellow can be also combined successfully with beige...another color similar to yellow. Accessories in earth natural tones will give you a romantic outfit, perfect for your office, for a wedding or for a cocktail party!

1.Ring 2.Necklace 3.Hair Stick

Ok... I am mostly a casual girl, so the last outfit is... what else...jeans! I love them in any color. So why not in Yellow one? A multicolor bag will give you the advantage of having more colors in your appearance and at the same time the opportunity  to have more "hot" details in bright colors. Perfect for everyday Spring and Summer outfit! Just remember, try to avoid combine more than three colors in case you do not use any floral or any drawing cloth.

1.Bracelets 2.Earrings 3.Bow Tie

Goodbye for now and have a wonderful Yellow Friday!!!!

SWEET MAY

I SO love May!!!!!! It's such a wonderful month (probably my absolute favorite!), and my woods and mountains are so beautiful... everything is so beautiful -- the light, the smell of grass and flowers, the lush green, the birds chirping and singing...

An old abandoned hamlet in the woods...

Sitting amidst the flowers...

Old stone steps...

BACK IN THE ALPS

It's been raining quite a lot recently, and the woods are so green and lush...

Moss...

A trail turned into a stream...

Water-rich creeks...
