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.

Kolimbithres, Paros, GR

Kolimbithres is not about the beach. It's about the rocks. Clean, round and warm, nature's modern art in perfect shapes to lie on.
-dedicated to sweet A who's still at work.

One shoulder was enough

August moon is like no other.

Faragas, Paros, GR

Golden Garden, truly

Imagine someone's yard, where tree branches meet and blend above your head, decorated with lights inside baskets and speakers hanging like weird fruits, a cocktail bar in the centre of it all and a funky band in good mood making the happy crowd move their feet to the rythm of ska and favourite rock covers.

That was last night at Golden Beach' Golden Garden, with the "Sweet Mothers". Car parked in a field, sand in my shoes, bumping into Melroy and her blooming hair, having that Malibu and dancing in good company. I'm feeling the holiday spirit.

If in Paros

If in Paros tonight and are looking for a sweet alternative to mainstream Naousa / Paroikia, I say you check out what's up at Golden Garden (Golden Beach bus stop) . Funky - jazzy sounds I was told and I so fancy a sweet Malibu & Pineapple cocktail from that bar in the centre of the garden:
Flyer given to me at the gorgeous and rather private beach of Lolandonis earlier today.
Private enough to shamelessly sport this multi-clipped mess and get away with it:)

August comes in colours

In case you are starting August on top of a suit-case about to load and go, I suggest you pack it with colours. We've had enough grey and all shades of 'dull' walking around during last winter and most likely we'll have them again. I packed a rainbow and I'm glad.
Happy, sunny August, wherever you are.

Bikini 2010

Only been around for a few hours but the title 'Bikini 2010' wasn't hard to give. Block colour strapless tops over black unders seems to be the thing to wear this summer, on this island. At least most girls do! Alecca's beach report, over and out.

At the port before too long

I'm leaving the city behind me once again much sooner than I thought - this summer is full of surprises. Work has come with me and I'm currently re-living the 90s with dial -up, but I can't complain! Hope you're all close to holiday too. Till then, stick around for more summer posts from somewhere in the Aegean.

Souvenirs classic*

*as opposed to this.
A pocket size fan. I almost collect them. And thank God for that or those hot summer nights in the city would be totally unbearable. I am surprised that even though our temperatures are quite tropical in the summer, fans are not massive. I remember a few Julys ago in Ibiza, a fan was the accessory to hold. Even clubs and bars had such cool(ing) merchandise.
Postcards. I used to know all of my friend's post codes. Now it's emails and not quite since my provider does that for me. True, emails or facebook are faster but you're left with nothing once you've logged out. Besides, like my neighbour said checking his mail the other day, it's only bills in the post these days. Go on, make someone's day.
