Still working while my friends are somewhere here..sigh..
My outfit makes me at least feel better (I am such a superficial person, I know.)
Blue dress Mango
and a wooden necklace handcrafted (by me) during the weekend.
Malachite pendant
Malachite gemstone in ancient times was believed to ward off disease, lightning and witchcraft.
Today it is believed to absorb negative energy and to guard against radiation...
...and to release old traumas.
Even the World Cup Trophy has a malachite base.
This malachite pendant I was wearing on Friday was made in my workshop two years ago for my mum's name day. I used 925 sterling silver and this marvelous gemstone. I chose malachite because my mum's eyes have its color. Well, my eyes don't but some times I can't resist and I borrow the pendant.
Thank you, mum, for the inspiration (and for allowing me to wear it)!
Casual Friday
Even on casual Fridays black color on the outfit is still necessary.
I wore a green Springfield tee and beige Anne Kein flats but the skirt should be black (to avoid boss' weird look).
Enjoy your weekend!!
Maxi dress and citrine necklace
This summer I am obsessed with maxi dresses. They are feminine, stylish and comfortable at the same time.
This is the dress I wore yesterday. Bought two years ago from a tiny shop in London and still one of my favorites.
Styled with Anne Klein sandals
and a simple handcrafted (by me) necklace with citrine gemstone nuggets.
Earrings for the Summer
Back to creations (at last!) with two pairs of earrings especially designed for the summer nights.
I have used sterling silver 925 as well as a blue cotton cord and a light purple organza.
I hope that summer will be as colorful and 'happy' as my new earrings.
Thank you, Crispy!
Απούσα τόσες μέρες από το διαδίκτυο, δεν μπόρεσα να ευχαριστήσω την Crispy για το βραβείο που μου έδωσε!
Με τη σειρά μου θα το περάσω στη Vipera Lebetina γιατί παρότι ακόμα έφηβη έχει ένα σπινθηροβόλο πνεύμα που μ' εντυπωσιάζει!

Summer is here and summer means color.

The New Acropolis Museum
(photos from www.newacropolismuseum.gr)
My first visit to the New Acropolis Museum left me the finest impressions. I spent the whole day there which was very beneficial and inspiring.
I also had lunch at the museum's restaurant...
...and bought some gifts from the museum's shop just to remember this great day.
Home decoration
and replicas of ancient toys for my nieces
I spent a lot of time in The Archaic and The Parthenon Gallery. I was really impressed by the minimalistic lines of ancient Greek art. I feel new projects inspired by this visit coming into my mind...
Turquoise Earrings
Summer is here (at last!) and turquoise is the official gemstone of the new season.
So, the first creation for this summer is a pair of earrings especially designed for my dearest friend Marina. I have used sterling silver 925 and of course, turquoise gemstones...
...while the technique of hammering adds an ancient look to the earrings.
I hope she will enjoy her present!
Vintage dress
Today I wore my mum's vintage dress..
...Unfortunately she kept only few..
I also wore her vintage shoes
Now I have to thank the dearest blogger Joanaddicted for the Queen Award! Thank you so much!! You made my day! You can visit her blog here and see all her crazy and stylish outfits! Thank you again!!

Tourmaline earrings
How much I love this gemstone!
For this pair I used as usual 925 sterling silver.

Happy new week everyone!
