Walking around in Nafplio - Our Past Future....

Oh yes, I know, I’ve spoken about Nafplio already! Well we all have the tendency to say again and again how much fun we’ve had when we did have a great time, don’t we? I promise it’s going to be the last time …for this month at least!  

This time I am not going to talk about Nafplio as a town, but about its old railway station. It’s one of the city’s most famous landmarks. For some it could just be an ugly image of something old that’s been left without care. It may be that… but there is another side to it. The side of something old that holds so many memories and experiences and brings old and new together in one. Paintings, images, simple words of young people filled with anxieties, ready to make their own journey… 

   The engine…carrying so many vagons filled with feelings hopes...

....now harbors simple talk filled with expectations… 

"One’s darkness becomes light when he finds another”

The entrance or waiting hall as the sign reads. Waiting for a better tomorrow? 

Simple words… “I’ve lived in your lips”

Ready to make its new journey! The journey as defined by ourselves…

 Because everything is a road!

Have a great day!

Fashion Trends - Stripes No 2

Last week, Efzin reported on stripe trend, which seems to be in full force this

summer! On a recent walk I spotted so many women wearing black and white stripes,

that I really lost count!

If you still hesitate to follow our tips and wear stripes, you can always become a

prisoner of fashion –in a good way! So, you love the idea of bringing the trend into

your wardrobe in a safer way, and as every budget fashionista knows (especially with

this crisis!!!), trendy accessories are a less expensive and secure choice to add a little

style to what you’ve already got.

Add a graphic note to your outfit simply choosing accessories with multi-colored

or black and white stripes. A scarf, a handbag or a headband is a great way to sport

the striped trend. Moreover, if your fetish is shoes, you can choose a pair of fabric

espadrilles, loafers, or ballet flats with stripe designs.

Finally, the best way to get the striped look is to search for trendy, handmade and

unique jewelry pieces! Delicate post earrings, fabric bangles and statement rings can

complete your wardrobe’s precious collection.

Here are my proposals so as to convince you that we can always stay on trend! I chose

a favorite jumpsuit that can be worn day and night and combined it with handmade

striped accessories from etsy.

Look for an unexpected color combination, like bright green and yellow or orange and

pink 

 Mix them with polka dots and you will be surprised with the result! 

Have fun!

DIY - Handmade Hair Clips with Buttons

Hello my friends!

Last weekend I did a cleanup in my daughter’s drawers and I found too many hairclips and elastic accessories damaged, without the decorative charms or with color missing. I think this is something very common. Why go through them away? Just check below an easy way to “refresh” them and made them look like new again.

So first of all I had to find how to decorate them and I searched for common materials. And guess what I found…buttons! Haha funny ? Buttons, cords, small wooden beads from old accessories and an ivory satin ribbon that I use for packaging gifts. Great stuff indeed. I needed also a scissor and of course hot glue.

Now with all these stuff just use your imagination and create different charms and embellishments. I created a few... stacked buttons and glitter glow on them, a small bow from the satin ribbon and a margarita button stichted on it, a big neon green button and wooden beads tied with hot pink cord, a round button stacked with a heart one and a round button with a yellow margarita pattern stiched on a small piece of the satin ribbon. I am sure you can create even more beautiful designs!

When the embellishments are ready the only thing left is to stuck them with hot glow on the hair clips or tie them on the ponytail elastic or even stichc them.

The result was really beautiful and my daughter loved them!

Hope you enjoy it!!!  Happy Crafting!!!!



Fashion Trends - Spring full of Neon Colors!!!

Good Morning my friends!

Have a great month!!! And yes believe it or not, Spring is here! well almost here, since even here in Greece the weather is still cold. However I am in Spring mode, so I just wanted to start this month and this day with a colorful post!

This is my first attempt to write something about fashion, so please do not judge me very strictly!

So here we go... I have read too many articles for Spring/Summer New York's Fashion Week and style trends for this period. Do you prefer pastels or neons? Will you go graphic in squares and plaid? Or will you dare to bare in the new cropped proportions? The amazing thing is that every single style decision is just trendy! So wear what you like, pastel for a romantic appearance or neon for a casual or eccentric one. Both are just beautiful. Create your own style and you will always be in fashion and always will feel beautiful and chic.

Since the day is sunny and I feel like the winter is going away, I really need to put more color in my appearance. And when I say color, I mean neon colors. Spring's vibrant forecast already has us dreaming of ways to style up an outfit that perfectly reflects its rainbow hues. 

My proposal is for a casual appearance with jeans (the most common cloth ever) or with pants in 60's style. Use clothes with beautiful neon colors or enriched your simple appearance with accessories in trendy spring colors.  

Accessories with bright, neon colors can also be combined with a floral dress  and will create an girly appearance!  Because all the women sometimes we need and we can be girls again!

So  wake up, get a coffee, have a great, delicious breakfast, dress with color and make your day!!!! 

Happy Spring!!!!
