What she wore

dear friend wearing - vintage dress from Berlin
myself wearing - black and grey jersey jumpsuit from Athens

Looking kinda 70s. Or maybe it's that wall.

Red is growing on me

It started off as a pink year and I think it's gonna end in red . Fabric shred necklace by Stripes'n'Buttons. If you are still gift hunting, click over, she's got some interesting stuff on display.

Just the pair I was looking for

Went to a private bazaar the other day and scored a very pretty pair of earrings by Los Angelinos. I've been looking for quite a while for an interesting black pair but they all seemed too dark/heavy/busy. It must be the little pearls and light fabric on this one that do it so nicely. Otherwise, I was meant to be Christmas shopping for others. Why can't it be simple for once?! Three days to Christmas.

Haven't done one of these in ages

Dress/Leggings Know-How, made in Greece, brand new
Boots Eley Kishimoto, made in Japan, 4 years old
Key ring no idea where it came from, too old to keep score

Good to my jeans

Back in the city and if jeans could walk, mine would be shaking their tail behind the door whilst I turned the key. With calendar featuring 'September' and tonight's breeze, it seemed right to take them for a walk. Jeans on - I must be back in the city then.

Excuse the recent absence, work had the best of me the minute I stepped back on mainland. Hope you all had an exciting Summer. Hello Autumn;)

The opposite of accessorize

After shocking people at the beach in these, let me shock you too by the lack of accessories in this raspberry moment of mine. With temperatures reaching my limits, even my tiny pearl earrings felt too much so they were fast removed along with necklace and bracelets. Does it look strange? Does it really matter? Well it felt good.

Speaking of lack of accessories, there's a certain kind I can't live without (literally?!) these days.
Officially a fetish ladies.

That dress

Not even sure if this is a dress. But do you remember those fringe summer dresses that were oh-so-summer-fever once upon a time? This is as close as it gets. I used to have a pink one as a kid. It's only kid sizes you get at souvenir stores these days. I swear I'd buy them in every colour of the rainbow had they made a come-back.

Random tip: aegean winds tend to be quite strong this time of the year. If your hair is long like mine, it will fly like mad all over the place. So you clip it. But then it flies with the clip on it and that wasn't the effect you were looking for. Clip it safely on your strap then! There. Now it's gonna stay nicely in place. Looks interesting too.

Random emergency: my skin must be sun-proof. Mid-August and where is my tan? I've switched sunblock to baby oil and I am eating enough carrots to put Bugs Bunny to shame. Any ideas? Urgent.

Surfing & surfing

The other day these kids shook the beach with their invention, a surf board dragged by a fishing boat. They were giggling for hours, falling off, stirring the water. Looked like so much fun! Which reminded me...

...about a lifetime ago, I've had a taste in San Sebastian, though the waves were no fishing boat (have never drunk so much sea water -possibly small fish too!- in my life).

Didn't care much about what we wore as long as it took us to the beach. Well, life's got humour: these days surfing to me is being online, posting about clothes.

Where have I put that boogie board I wonder.

Monday blue

'Monday' earrings - divided, dress - atmosphere, bangle - (err..not sure), shoes - anastazi bournazos, map (!) - paper tablecloth covering every taverna table in Paros (thought some of you might like to do location spotting of previous posts)

Are there Mondays when on holiday?

Angles

Selection of tests I did on how my camera shoots from various angles. Small tribute to my cotton playsuit too. Crossed my mind that not much else needs to be packed for a summer holiday. Visually challenging it's not, but sometimes, visually challenging I don't need.

Lace Cream

dress - pussycat, shoes - (here), bracelet - h&m (i think),
earrings - accessorize

'Comfy' is one word i wouldn't usually match with 'lace' but in this shape, it was. And it turns out cream does a much better job than white when it comes to flattering your newly acquired tan.

One shoulder was enough

August moon is like no other.
