As promised, here is the second post. In this outfit (from the waist up) I feel like a female version of Marlon Brando in the movie “The wild one”. He played the character of an outlaw biker, wearing a perfecto jacket, a white T-shirt with jeans and boots and a tilted hat, a style that later became an iconic image. Perfecto style jackets and biker boots are still in fashion.
This outfit has some elements of the biker style with the addition of a faux fur scarf and the high heeled peep toe ankle boots, to make it a bit more feminine.

I was inspired by the Ralph Lauren Rugby collection to put together this outfit. I wanted to wear one of my new Tally Weijl knits and this was the perfect way. You can see the collection here.
Also, lovely Artemis (from Beauty with Artemi) asked me to do a bright lips look, so that’s what I did. I kept the rest of the face almost nude this time. Hope you like it honey, although the photos don’t do justice to that super bright fuscia lipstick!

Now, on to xmas baking:
For me, there’s no Christmas without baking traditional desserts and decorating the house. My house is too small for a tree (I like huge trees so no luck!) and I just put a few ornaments here and there to decorate it. But every year I bake the following traditional Greek desserts: melomakarona, kourampiedes and vasilopita. This year I decided against making the second (kourampiedes), because it’s extremely fattening and I don’t really like it anyway. So today it was melomakarona day! I don’t know if any of you non-greeks have ever tasted them, but I can assure you they are delicious! And I like the fact that there isn’t any butter or eggs in the recipe.
Here they are, ready to be baked:
After baking them, they have to be left to cool and then be dipped into honey sirup (which is hot):
After “bathing” in honey sirup, they’re sprinkled with walnuts and served:
They're so yummy and I couldn't resist nibbling while placing them on the plate!
What is your traditional dessert that you like to make? Oh, and if you'd like the recipe for melomakarona let me know!

This was the name of an old Men’s clothing store in Piraeus and it’s actually an anagrammatism of “Dorian Gray”, one of my favorite novels (The picture of Dorian Gray) by Oscar Wilde. And why is Dorian Gray relevant to this post? Well, he’s not really, but when I think of the color grey, I think of Dorian Gray! Disturbed mind, I know, haha!!!
