One lovely morning with Lucky and "Lenita"...

Finally I'm back!! Back to Greece, back to blogging, back to my chaotic daily life, and I absolutely love it! Wow so many things happened in the past seven days. I had just enough time to decorate the Christmas tree and the whole apartment, throw away some old stuff, buy and put into the use the new things (more on that another time)... and after all- to enjoy the gifts. That's something which always puts the smile on my face and makes my heart beat faster! One gift was already waiting for me when I got home- cute box which my dear friends from "Lenita" sent me. Soft, black sweatpants that are so comfortable to wear, were a perfect choice for a morning game with Lucky... 

Konacno sam se vratila!! Povratak u Grcku, povratak blogovanju, povratak haoticnom dnevnom zivotu, i pravo da vam kazem- ne zalim se, uzivam u tome! Toliko stvari se desilo u poslednjih nedelju dana. Imala sam dovoljno vremena da okitim jelku, raspremim i dekorisem stan, pobacam neke stare stvari, kupim i stavim u upotrebu nove (vise o tome drugi put)... i nakon svega da uzivam u poklonima. E to je ono sto mi uvek izmami osmeh i zbog cega mi srce brze zakuca! Jedan poklon me je cekao cim sam dosla kuci, paket koji su mi dragi prijatelji iz "Lenite" poslali. Meka, crna trenerka koju je tako prijatno nositi je bila savrsen izbor za jutarnju igru sa Lakijem...

Glam & Fab Make-up: "Fuchsia Flower" & "Golden Sailor"

Hello my sweeties, I hope your weekend started in a good way! I finished so many things yesterday, yet today is also one super active day- it's a packing party time- 3 suitcases with clothes and shoes, plus cosmetics, jewelry, books...!! My baby is coming to pick me (with Lucky), and we'll be on the road all day tomorrow, from the morning till the night.

My pretty girls since I'm not going to have any time for tomorrow's blogging , I'm leaving you today 2 make-up ideas which I think are suitable for the upcoming holiday season! "Fuchsia Flower" is really bold look and just great for true party-lovers, while "Golden Sailor" is more demure, warm, subtle but equally festive- I would say appropriate for a lovely Christmas eve! I've put some basic products I've been using but I actually wanted to show you the choice of the colors so you can easily find/use similar products! I hope you'll get some inspiration!! Wishing you wonderful weekend!!! <3

Dragi moji, nadam se da vam je vikend lepo zapoceo! Ja sam dosta stvari zavrsila juce, ali i danas je na snazi jos jedan super aktivan dan- celodnevno pakovanje- 3 kofera sa odecom i cipelama, plus kozmetika, nakit, knjige...!! J dolazi po mene (sa Lakijem) i provescemo citav sutrasnji dan na putu, od jutra do veceri.

Lepe moje devojke necu biti u mogucnosti da blogujem sutra, s toga vam danas ostavljam 2 make-up ideje za koje smatram da su zaista pogodne za predstojece praznike! "Fuchsia Flower" je otvoreniji look namenjen hrabrijim devojkama, savrsen za vecernji provod/zurku, dok je "Golden Sailor" suptilniji i topliji look ali podjednako svecan- rekla bih prigodan za Bozic. Navela sam neke proizvode koje sam koristila, ali sam zapravo zelela da vam skrenem paznju na izbor boja kako biste mogle da pronadjete bilo sta slicno sto bi vam koristilo. Nadam se da ce vas neka od ove dve ideje inspirisati... Zelim vam predivan vikend!! <3

Pre-fall 2013-> Be sleek, chic & urban: every day!

Maybe you were wondering based on what I'm making the selections when it comes to this kind of fashion collages. Well I simply pass through absolutely each collection from beginning till the end, and imagine myself (while curiously and mercilessly taking the advantage of my mind and dominant visual/spatial intelligence) wearing the exact outfit, from head to toe. If more than 90% of the look (sometimes I can/must to leave out some annoying details) matches my style, energy and temperament- then we have a winner! 

In this post the emphasis is on the completely chic and suitably sophisticated daily combinations, dedicated to the independent and feminine ladies who wake up satisfied and know what they want from each day! Here is what I've chosen from the following pre-fall 2013 collections: Burberry Prorsum, Gucci, Rachel Zoe, Dsquared², BCBG Max Azria, Bottega Veneta, Tory Burch, St. John and Alice + Olivia. Burberry and Gucci are my favorites here! What about yours?

Mozda ste se nekada pitali na osnovu cega ja zapravo pravim selekcije kada su u pitanju ovakvi modni kolazi. Pa jednostavno pregledam svaku kolekciju od pocetka do kraja, i zamislim sebe (pritom sa potpunim zadovoljstvom i bezdusno "iskoriscavam" svoj um i dominantnu vizuelno/spacijalnu inteligenciju) kako nosim svaki outfit od glave do pete. Ako vise od 90% look-a (ponekad mogu/moram da zatvorim oci i predjem preko nekih detalja) odgovara mojoj energiji, stilu i temperamentu- eto nama pobednika!

U ovom postu akcenat je na potpuno sik i prigodno sofisticiranim dnevnim kombinacijama, namenjene nezavisnim i zenstvenim damama koje se bude zadovoljne i znaju sta zele od svakog dana! Evo sta sam ja izabrala iz sledecih pre-fall kolekcija za 2013-tu: Burberry Prorsum, Gucci, Rachel Zoe, Dsquared², BCBG Max Azria, Bottega Veneta, Tory Burch, St. John i Alice + Olivia. Burberry i Gucci su moji favoriti ovde. A vasi?

New in: "Glamorous" make-up

Hello my sweeties!! I'm traveling tonight, I'll be out of the town for a day (tomorrow my family celebrates St. Nicholas). That's why I've decided to show you today (instead of tomorrow as it was previously planned) few pretty make-up things I bought in one drugstore in Larissa (Greece). I took a blush (I fell in love with its shimmering coral shade), Summer set which was on the sale, cute light blue nail polish and as a gift I got this lovely eye-shadow palette (colors are perfectly suitable for the fall). Do you like something?

Zdravo moji lepotancici!! Za par sati putujem van grada (moja porodica slavi Svetog Nikolu), ali se vracam sutra uvece. Zbog toga sam odlucila da vam danas (umesto sutra kako je bilo prvobitno planirano) pokazem par lepih make-up stvarcica koje sam pazarila u jednoj parfimeriji u Larisi (Grcka). Uzela sam rumenilo (zaljubila sam se u svetlucavo koralnu nijansu), Summer set koji je bio na popustu, svetlo plavi lakic za nokte, a kao poklon sam dobila ovu slatku paletu senki za oci cije su nijanse savrsene za jesen. Da li vam se nesto dopada?

Glam & Fab Week (10.12.-16.12.)

Good morning my happy people, I hope you all had great weekend! New week has just started, I'm gonna have a lot of action this week since I'm going back to Greece most probably on Sunday, so there is a bunch of things I need to do before... I've spent 3 months here in Serbia, due to some unexpected things, and I'm so looking forward to going back (to my second) home, so I can decorate the Christmas tree, and just enjoy with my love and Lucky (btw he's already in Greece, these pictures of him were taken while he was still here).

In the meantime we also got some new things for the apartment- new dining table, now we finally have the office (which will be finished this week), and I made a design for my new wardrobe- that's the place where the magic happens!!:)

Wishing you all pretty and warm week!!! Enjoy!!<3

Dobro jutro svim srecnim ljudima ovde, nadam se da ste uzivali u vikendu!! Nova sedmica je pocela, ja cu imati dosta obaveza ovih dana s obzirom da se vracam u Grcku najverovatnije u nedelju- treba uraditi gomilu stvari pre toga... Provela sam tri meseca ovde u Srbiji, zbog nekih nepredvidjenih okolnosti, i pravo da vam kazem jedva cekam da se vratim svojoj (drugoj) kucici, da okitim jelku, i prosto da uzivam u drustvu moje ljubavi i Lakija (on je vec u Grckoj, slike na kojima je su snimljene dok je jos bio ovde).

U medjuvremenu smo uzeli neke nove stvari za stan- novi trpezarijski sto, sada cemo konacno imati kancelariju (bice zavrsena u toku ove nedelje), i ja sam napravila skicu za novi orman koji je takodje zavrsen- e tu se magija desava!:)

Zelim vam divnu i toplu nedelju!!! Uzivajte!!!<3

Pre-fall 2013-> This is what I call elegance!

Alluring elegance, lovely sophistication, glam charm... These highly inspirational pre-fall 2013 collections give me an excellent idea for the upcoming holidays or any other significant celebration. Simply perfect for those moments when we want to celebrate our feminine and seductive side, our entire beauty and personality which we work diligently on throughout the whole year, success in the life and achieved goals we are proud of...

Prosto savrseno za trenutke kada zelimo da slavimo svoju zenstvenu i zavodljivu stranu, svoju kompletnu lepotu i licnost na kojoj marljivo radimo cele godine, dostignuca u zivotu i ostvarene ciljeve kojima se ponosimo... U svakoj narednoj haljini/kombinaciji ja jasno vidim sebe. I sad vas pitam drage moje- koliko ste mi zapravo slicne?:) Da li pronalazite sebe u sledecim pre-fall kolekcijama: Herve Leger, Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, Temperley London i Carlos Miele?

New books in my library-> "winter supply"!:)

Is there anyone who doesn't enjoy reading a book?! For me there are regularly periods during the year when I literally "swallow" them, and very often I can finish reading one book in two days and then continue with another. In order not to come, at some moment, into a situation where I run out of any inspiring and interesting book, I've reasonably decided to "supply" myself with some decent quantity before returning to Greece. That's why I used one very cold day to check my favorite bookstore "Delfi". Here is what caught my attention and what ended up on my shelf (by the way do not ask how I'll take this amount of books with me, I'll think about it when the time of traveling comes...)!

Da li postoji neko ko ne uziva u citanju knjiga?! Meni redovno nailaze periodi u toku godine kada naprosto "gutam" knjige, pa neretko procitam jednu za dva dana i nastavljam sa drugom. E da ne bih dosla u situaciju da ostanem bez inspirativnog i zanimljivog stiva u nekom trenutku, razumno sam odlucila da se "opremim" dovoljnom zalihom pre mog povratka u Grcku, te sam u tu svrhu jednog zaista hladnog dana svratila do omiljene mi knjizare "Delfi". Evo sta je meni privuklo paznju i sta je zavrsilo na mojoj polici (...uzgred ne pitajte se kako cu poneti ovu kolicinu knjiga sa sobom, i ja cu razmisljati o tome kada dodje vreme putovanja...)!

Glam & Fab Week (03.12.-09.12.)

Most of the outside pictures I took at the beginning of the previous week... Weather has drastically changed over the Saturday and Sunday- all you can see today are layers and layers of the show! My love came to visit me this weekend, and for two days we didn't go out at all...

It's Monday, the day looks so nice, everything is white, sky is crystal clear, not so much noise in the streets, yet it's so warm and cozy in the house... To be or not to be outside, the question is now...

Vecinu ovih trenutaka sam uslikala pocetkom nedelje... Situacija se drasticno promenila tokom subote i nedelje- sve sto mozete videti danas su slojevi i slojevi snega!! Moj dragi je dosao da me poseti ovog vikenda, dva dana nismo ni izasli iz kuce...

Ponedeljak je, dan izgleda lepo, sve je belo, nebo je cisto, nema toliko buke na ulicama, a opet tako je toplo i udobno u domu... Biti ili ne biti napolju, pitanje je sada...

Pre-fall 2013-> This is what I want to wear!

You know what I really love about pre-fall collections? The fact they're coming at exactly appropriate time, and even though they're meant for the next year- they're still totally inspirational and wearable now! I like what designers and brands offer us for 2013 and these are the looks I would definitely wear! Selection includes: Rachel Roy, Michael Kors, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Lela Rose, Helmut Lang, Belstaff and Elie Tahari. Is there something you like?

Znate li sta ja zaista volim kod pre-fall kolekcija? Cinjenicu da stizu u potpuno odgovarajucem periodu, i iako su "namenjene" narednoj godini- ipak su krajnje inspirativne i nosive upravo sada! Svidja mi se sta nam dizajneri i modne kuce nude za 2013-tu, i u danasnjem postu mozete videti sta bih ja licno i definitivno nosila! Izbor obuhvata: Rachel Roy, Michael Kors, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Lela Rose, Helmut Lang, Belstaff i Elie Tahari. Da li se i vama nesto dopada?

November empties

Don't you dare to do it- I can "virtually feel" your slightly shocked look considering my "beauty consumption" (people would be very happy if I start to "eat" the same amount of the food as I "eat" the cosmetics and make-up!lol!!:) But before you start to judge me, I must to tell you that some of the products above I have been using sporadically, meaning not so often. And I'm sure you already know the situation when things start to get empty, well they have that "domino effect"- at the same time you stay without shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, deodorant, etc... which is good as well cause you instantly get an excuse to buy new products even though you have enough "supplies" at home!:) Now you can check which things I used in November, what I didn't like so much and what I was really satisfied with!

Ne usudjujte se da to radite- mogu da "virtuelno osetim" vas blago sokirajuci pogled kada ustanovite kolika je moja "beauty konzumacija" (sigurna sam da bi ljudi voleli da jedem istu kolicinu hrane koliko "pojedem" kozmetike i sminke!haha)!!:) Ali pre nego sto krenete da me osudjujete, moram vam reci da sam neke od proizvoda koje vidite na slikama, koristila sporadicno iliti ne bas tako cesto. Sigurna sam da znate onu situaciju kada sve bocice krenu da se prazne, pa odjednom ukapirate taj "domino efekat" i ostanete bez sampona, balzama, gela za tusiranje, dezodoransa i sve to u isto vreme... sto i nije tako lose jer momentalno dobijete razlog za ponovnu nabavku iako cuvate "zalihe" istih proizvoda!:) E sad mozete da pogledate sta sam ja to koristila u novembru, sta mi se manje svidelo a cime sam bas bila zadovoljna!

It was one lovely day this week...

Oh I'm gonna miss the sunny weather no matter how chilly it actually was lately! In the last two, three days it was all about rain, clouds, getting dark at 4pm!! Next week, well they say "the" real winter is starting... But who cares, I certainly don't! December is going to be one active month for me, 'till the last day, and it's always one of the most enthusiastic months in the whole year (after August and July). You know setting goals for the next year, planning your outfits for the Christmas and New Year's Eve, making wishlists, clearing and measuring the "balance" for this year... Speaking about that- have you already set your goals for 2013?! I'm 80% done! I just need to add some small things and to rewrite everything with my glitter pens (after all I'm just girly girl)!:) 

p.s. All pictures in this post were made during the walk by the river... we (Lucky and I) had great time.

Ah kako ce mi nedostajati suncano vreme, iako je u proteklom periodu bilo uzasno hladno. U poslednja dva, tri dana sve se svodilo na kisu, oblake, mrak je padao vec oko cetiri popodne. Naredne sedmice kazu ona "prava" zima nam dolazi. Ali koga to zanima- mene zasigurno ne!! Decembar ce biti aktivan mesec, do poslednjeg dana, i uvek je jedan od onih meseci u godini koji su znacajno obelezeni entuzijazmom (pored avgusta i jula). Znate na sta mislim- postavljanje ciljeva za narednu godinu, planiranje outfita za novogodisnje i Bozicne praznike, sastavljanje liste zelja, "uspostavljanje bilansa" za ovu godinu... Kad smo vec kod toga- da li ste postavili sebi ciljeve za 2013-tu?! Ja sam skoro 80% gotova! Samo jos treba da dodam neke sitnice i da prepisem sve glitter olovkama!:)

p.s. Sve slike su nastale tokom Lakijeve i moje setnje pored reke...
