Cloudy day!

I hate cloudy days, they make me feel depressed. I have a friend from England who is a Barrister and he has a great sense of humor. I love his wit and british accent! I’m mentioning this because sometime last year we were exchanging emails and I was furious about the situation in my country with the strikes and all the garbage everywhere and the general chaos (which is still pretty much the same actually) and I went on and on, writing about 2 or 3 paragraphs about my frustration. He replied with 4 little words: “But you have sun”!!!
I laughed so much when I got his email and he was right. Sun does make up for a lot of the annoying things that happen here. I couldn’t imagine living in a place that is cloudy and rainy all the time!

The next day!

Second day of Christmas and I still feel stuffed from all the food I consumed yesterday. I even had trouble sleeping (and saw very peculiar dreams, due to indigestion I’m sure!). I must admit that I had a great difficulty preparing this post because I didn’t feel like getting off the couch at all. Don’t you have one of those days too every once in a while?
I also saw a lovely movie earlier, “Heartbraker” with Vanessa Paradis. She’s so pretty and classy. They make a very cute couple with Johnny Depp. The movie was nice and funny, but I didn’t like the actor (who played the Heartbraker) so much. Couldn’t they cast a better looking man? I’d never leave a boyfriend for that guy!

Merry Christmas my lovelies!

Christmas day is coming to an end soon and it’s been lovely. We had a family gathering and ate tons of food (well, at least I did), played board games, listened to Christmas songs and laughed. My photos today are not so fashionable and artistic, but it’s Christmas and we had guests! I think I’m overeating lately and I have to start dieting soon because otherwise I’m going to end up like the stuffed turkey I ate!!!

Christmas presents!

I went shopping for Xmas presents today and although it was at the very last minute I’m happy to say I found what I was looking for. I got a little something for my family and friends and I also got a little gift for me. The day wasn’t very good though because my brother had a small accident with his motorcycle and hurt his hand and leg. Thank God he only had minor injuries (nothing broken), but I can’t say the same about the (brand new) motorcycle, that needs to be repaired!
Anyway, I can’t wait for this year to end. It has been a very difficult year for me and I am anxious for the new year to come, along with new things and new people!

I had this belt made out of an old Moschino bag's straps. It turned out like the small version of the classic Moschino logo belt!

Knit dress: bought locally, unknown brand
Shoes: Casadei
Belt: Moschino
Coat: Miss Raxevsky
Ring: bought locally
Bag: Mulberry for target

Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Benefit booing concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: Sleek storm palette, Bourjois black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Korres cherry lipgloss in light purple

This is what I got for myself. One of the Korres sets, that costs only 11,70€! I'm wearing the lipgloss in the photos above...

Are you doing something tonight? Have a wonderful time whatever you do and I wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Fade to grey!

I’m not crazy about today’s pics, I think I took some rather weird poses and I also forgot to take a picture wearing my black jacket. I experimented with the fur cuffs and used some sleeve cuffs that I had removed from an old coat. I think they’d look much better over grey ankle boots, but I kind of like them even with these black lace up boots.
Tomorrow I’m going shopping for Christmas presents. I’m going to buy everyone a little something because my budget is a bit small this year. But I don’t think the price is important. What matters is the gesture and the fact that you take the time to buy something nice for someone you care about.






Knit: Scandalo (greek brand)
Button shirt: Zara
Leggings: Tally Weijl
Ankle boots: unknown brand*
Rings: bought locally
Fur cuffs: DIY

Face: Avon Ideal Shade Cream-to-Powder Foundation, Nivea perfect cover concealer
Eyes: Bourjois black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Exclusive elegance double lipgloss

*You have seen these boots in a few other posts and when I first wore them I wrote where I got them from. But I have been in touch with the retailers to refund me about the second pair I bought from them and turned out a smaller size and they were very rude to me. So I don’t wish to advertise their shop, that’s why I just call it “unknown brand”! I’ll tell you more about it after the holidays, I don’t want to spoil my mood now...

Just two colors!

Black is not considered a color but I think when there is such a strong contrast like with black and red, then it can be considered as color too. I’m blogging late today cause I was out for most of the day, and I haven’t replied to my previous post’s comments yet, but I’m going to as soon as I post this. I really can’t thank you enough for all the lovely comments you leave me everyday. It means so much to me that you take the time to visit my blog and say something nice!
