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.

More color, please..!

Summer is here and summer means color.

In home decoration...

in home objects...

and of course, more and more color in outfits!

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!

Summer. At last.

Summer. At last.

A farewell to summer…

September… Back to work today… I will miss swimming, sunbathing, the sound of the waves and my summer dresses…

Last summer days in the country…

Summer is the season I love most and I feel sad that it came to an end so soon. I chose to spend these last summer days in the country where the colors are always brighter and the sounds clearer. And on Tuesday back to work. I am already missing summer…
















And nostalgic images: an old taxi and an equally old sign of a tiny supermarket.

Shopping always makes things easier (what a surprise!)

Returning home from holidays is not always easy. In fact, it is not easy at all. Fortunately, there is a magic word that helps all fashionistas to adjust themselves to the after-holidays-situation: Shopping!

So, this Saturday morning I went shopping with my friends and these are my new belongings. And, what a surprise! I feel much better now!

Η επιστροφή από τις διακοπές στην πόλη και την καθημερινότητα δεν είναι πάντοτε μια εύκολη υπόθεση. Για να είμαστε ειλικρινείς, ποτέ δεν είναι. Και πάλι, όμως, ευτυχώς υπάρχει μια μαγική λέξη που κάνει τα πράγματα πολύ καλύτερα: Shopping!

Έτσι, σήμερα το πρωί πήγα για ψώνια παρέα με τις φίλες μου και σας παρουσιάζω τα καινούρια μου αποκτήματα. Και, τι έκπληξη: Αισθάνομαι ήδη πολύ καλύτερα

Summer Lover: A picture is worth a thousand words

The absolute summer image: an elegant woman under the hot sun of a Greek island. Or as pictured on these two covers of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar during the 1940s…

Η απόλυτη καλοκαιρινή εικόνα: μια κομψή γυναίκα κάτω από τον καυτό ήλιο ενός ελληνικού νησιού. Ή όπως απεικονίζεται στα δυο αυτά εξώφυλλα της Vogue και του Harper’s Bazaar της δεκαετίας του 1940…
