Cycling by the beach

I have a new hobby for Sundays. Bicycle and picnic. We went to the so-called beach (which is actually the port). Such nice atmosphere. The day was warm, everyone was walking their dogs, bicycles are increasing in my town andjust in general, people were relaxing, walking by the sea.
I wanted to take more pics to put on the blog, but I couldn't be bothered, it was so nice!

No make up, nothing fashionable!






Hope you had a nice weekend! Hectic week ahead, I need energy!

Look of Yesterday

Nothing exciting for yesterday,I feel lazy in this transaction from summer to autumn.



Later on the day I decided to change my flats and put on these new yellow ones I bought.
...I didn't like it, plus they hurt my feet. And I was in a complaining mood. :)

Yellow flats and purple top : Bershka
Jeans : Zara

Quick (sort of) Update

• I love the variety of comments lately, very interesting, different opinions, your point of view!
• Trying to study for my last exam this Friday, with breaks of staring at the wall, dreaming about the future, or watching Sailor Moon on YouTube.
• Struggling to avoid sweets and lose these 2 extra kilos I put whilst in the house all day, studying and eating. it doesn't seem much but my favourite skinny jeans are getting tight and tight suddenly. Annoying.
• Hello to the new followers!
• Looking for a good recipe to make my own milk toffee caramels (obviously after I lose weight) :P
• I want to go shopping, it's been a while. Also visit the new H&M store, buy some Lip Smackers cause I'm running out and look for a basic black blazer.
• Went for lunch at Ouzou Melathron yesterday (photos in my flickr if you're interested) and I loved it! Everything was extremely tasteful, I can't belive I haven't been there before all those years. If in Greece, consider it a must. Clever, funny details and delicious food.
• Got the packet ready for the winner of my giveaway.
• Got a sweet award from Tina (All the Vanity)! It's called Cool Lemonade Cart Award.
• 

• Current favourite Body Cream! Yummy smell, very light, dries quickly, 5 stars for the look of it, not to mention the price! Don't you feel like eating it?
  

Tip for a Perfect French Manicure DIY

I've only been once in my life in a nail salon and that's because I had a coupon.
Don't get me wrong when I'll be rich I'd be happy to go every week to a professional, sitting and relaxing whilst everyone is paying attention to me. :)

I just, for now, choose to spend my money wisely, and why not, when I can take care of my nails, easily,by myself.

I think I've been using this tip for french manicure since forever. I don't take credit though, I've learned it from my best friend's sister (who also introduced me to pedicure and bright red toe nails at the age of 17)

What you need is : A french manicure set (that you can also put together yourself with a white nail polish, a sheer pink one and a top coat) and some tape. Yes.Tape.

1. We start off with clean nails (nail polish remover, cut cuticles, put some lotion etc)

2. Put some tape under the white part of your nails, sticking it on your nail and wraping it around your finger. (agh, I hope you understand my nonsense! Look at the pic anyway.)

3. Depending on your nail shape you might have to bend the tape slightly, or it might be completely staight.

4. Grab your white nail polish and put it on the tip of your nails.

5. It can be completely sloppy as you can see, and that's ok, since our whole nail is covered with the tape.

6. Wait some minutes until it's completely dry and remove the tape slowly.

7. You can now add the sheer pink colour.

8. When it's dry, apply the top coat and you're good to go. Tadaah.

Carrie Bradshaw Inspired

We know that showing our underwear is a big DON'T in fashion.

Neon Pink Bra : La Senza

But what about Carrie's neon pink bra?

Sex and the City 04x14 "All that Glitters"

What do you think about it? Would you wear it outside?

Personally, as nice or cool as it seems, I wouldn't wear it like that.I'm really embracing bright colours, though, on bras, sneaking out of your top, just a little bit.

Looking foward for Sex and the City 2 for more inspiration! Oh, how much I love this series!

Reminder : Giveaway ends in 7 days, so don't forget to enter! ;)

Buzz Me

You may (or may not) have noticed that the market is filling with vibrating beauty products. This summer only, I got 3.

First my vibrating mascara Pulse Perfection came with the mail all the way from Canada (you can see my review here)
Then, whilst in London, I bought the Gilette Venus Vibrance razor, which is actually at least 2 years old.
And then, I was watching TV and the Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser advert caught my eye (with the oh-so-pretty Vanessa Hudgens). Of course I had to have it.
It also helped the fact that the last two, were pink. ;P

But do they really work?


First of all, they are all drugstore products and the price is affordable, so no harm in that.
Everyone will give you a different opinion. Some love it and some hate it.

• I tested the mascara with and without vibration. It works better with, since it helps, like it says to prevent lashes from clumping. I never use it without the vibration.
• I tested the Wave. Half my face with the buzz on, half just circle motions. It seems like there's more dirt coming off with the buzzing, but I wouldn't exactly swear on that... (I won't give a review of the Wave since there are millions around the internet)
  
• Finally the razor. hands down, it definitely works better because of the vibration. Smoother legs than ever! It leaves no trace(hair) behind. Best razor ever!
  

Do you have any of these? What did you think?

I ♥ Paris

I know you had enough of Paris. So that's the last reference, I promise. :)

Autumn came suddenly and I wasn't prepared. The easiest solution is to get into your jeans. I bought these in sales for just 5 euros! To my surprise, this pair of jeans was a perfect fit, had a lovely colour and a slimming effect! Bingo! Lucky buy.

Jeans : Zara
Vest : Stradivarious
Top I(heart)Paris : touristic shop in Paris
Heels : Pull&Bear
Ring : OhLaLa

I'll leave you with the so-called food porn, from TGI Fridays last night. Boy, I'm hungry again...I think I'll go back tomorrow night for Potato Twisters, my new OBSESSION!

Mmmmmmmm... I love it!

PS : I forgot to mention, tonight is Fashion's Night Out in all the big capitals and I'm not in one of them... I'm jealous! Ah well, next time...
