Awards and Other News

... Like the awesome Soap Book my lovely boyfriend sent me from the UK!! It got into my head to make my own soaps ( beauty products obsession in one hand, Lush on the other..) and I couldn't find a book in greek/in Greece. Now, along with the helpful advice of a couple blogs I'll soon attempt to make my first soaps.*excited!!!*
I already read the book, kept notes, searched the whole internet (I've never studied so hard before lol) and next step is to go to the pharmacy and to Ikea for supplies!.... Of course I'll keep you updated!


Talking about books what's better than getting into a book store to find that they have everything on sale, and a million books for 1 pound.Yap, that happened one shiny day in Oxford St and all these books became mine for just 13 pounds! Actual price : around 120! Score!


Of course shopping was postponed for the next day because how can you walk with 10 kilos of books on your hands?! Next day was great too -->


The Oxford St post was a bit irrelevant but I was feeling nostalgic.

Moving to the awards! The little shine star is from Mairyliscious! I love you girl, you always - always have something nice to say to everyone!


And the Kreativ blogger award from Sarah another blog I happen to ADORE because every single post is interesting and pretty and cute, and Kreative (that's why she got the award at the first place!). Sarah is a future travel guide writer, lol, check her entries!


I won't write a million facts about myself again, but I will give some shout-outs to some new blogs I'm following. They're creative and interesting, otherwise I wouldn't be following them, right??
Kreative blogger awards to :

Gimme Smoothies
Lily loves Lola
Meraldia
Superficial Girls
Amy
All the Vanity

Question : Anyone with experience in soap-making? Am I the only crazy girl that wants to start this? Have you ever thought about it?

10 Things You Definitely Don't Know About Me + Award

Like all the rest of you, time to do my own, since I was tagged by My magic world .

1. I am hypochondriac. One of the worst!

2. I burned my arm when I was 1 years old after dropping a pan of boiling water. Still have some marks, but it never really bothered me.

3. Before I decide to join the superficial world, I was really into arts, poetry, always reading a book. My new goal is to get back into the habit, without ignoring my other interests of course.

4. I am a very loving person.

5. The first year of uni found me in love, so I just passed 4 lessons out of 16! Since I came back at year 2, I've been the most hard working student and I hope to graduate this year.

6. I've tried swimming, karate, volleyball, rhythmic gymnastics, gym, skateboarding, but I always get bored in the end. I only go back to skiing every year for 6 years now. Also, for a person that loves everything about dancing, I never got dance lessons! Currently in my wishlist.


7. I'm obsessed of making lists of things. Technology saved me, and instead of pieces of papers around me, I use notepad in Windows.

8. I used to love adrenaline, now I just find everything scary.

9. I still live with my parents and still get shouted about my room being messy by my mum sometimes. (it's not that bad actually)

10. Unti I was 19, I never went out shopping without friends. After that, I just find it easier to shop by myself and not get influenced by other opinions.

Sorry if I mentioned any of these before in one of the same kind of games, i really need to start putting tags in my blog cause it's getting chaotic!

Plus another award from my lovely girl Tonia who, apart from great style, has amazing skills in making all things pretty! Thank you!


Who hasn't done the tag game yet??

Wedding Look

Finally there was a wedding so I could dress up a bit more formal. I chose to spend my money in various things, so I wore another one of the dresses I ordered from Forever21. A bit depressing, I know, but I just didn't want to overshadow the bride. ;P Shoes from Pull&Bear which was actually the first grown-up shoes I bought when I was 17 and the clutch from Accessorize that goes with everything!

Also (big thing for me) I dyed my hair for the first time! It's a dark blonde shade apparently but to me there's a bit of red too in there. I love it and it was a change I needed after a summer without taking care of my hair! Mediterranean brunette no more! Oh, and Kim Kardashian is totally copying me! Lol, hers are blonder, maybe next time.






I want to thank Mairyliscious for the Adorable blog award!


I want to pass it to : (*drumrolls*)
Style anyway.. and to Nakedtile
that I just found and absolutely love. Martina for her sence of style and Natalie because she already posted all the things I was going to about London. Give me England and you have me!
Also to Shopping Therapy, who kindly sponsored my make up for the wedding with the amazing stuff she sent me a while ago!


Stay tuned for some upcoming giveaways, one worldwide and one for US people!

Where I blog

Tagged by Voodoo Dolly!

My house is really small so I left the whole desk available from my sister. I carry my laptop in the lounge or mostly on my bed, lying on the pillows, blogging!

My favourite shelf! I have my teddy bear, Adam , my Little Book of Calm from England(usefull), this nice box from English Breakfast tea, and the Vanilla burning oil.So relaxing when you're going to sleep.

The 5 people I'm tagging (I think you haven't done this yet)

Interview time

Lovely Linea awarded and tagged me (Thank you :) ) and these are the rules :

GUIDELINES : List 7 things that you love, and then pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you love! Be sure to tag them and let them know that they have won.You can copy the picture of the award and paste it on your sidebar letting the whole world know...you are Kreativ!...

7 things I love

1. Sweets! I just love sweets so much! It's my biggest sin. The longest I've stayed away and try dieting is 2 days!

2. Meeting new people. I enjoy meeting new people even if I'm never gonna see them again. You can get sth from everyone!

3. My memories. Some people think this means living in the past , but it makes me happy going through photos and remembering good times.

4. England and I ll say it till I get bored :)

5. Sleeping! Wake me up and you're dead! :P

6. Nature. Our luck of green in the city makes me appreciate grass, trees, pretty sunsets and beaches. (Another reason I find UK so fascinating)

7. John. Just as simple as that.

That's a few of the things I love cause I'm really enthusiastic about stuff all the time.



Some time ago little stylist gave me another award and I forgot to thank her about that (Thank you gorgeous!) and she put some questions on her blog for anyone who wants to answer them, like a mini interview thing. Here's mine :

Why did you start blogging?
To keep in diary my clothes, my make up , my hairstyles, my buys.I used to do this sometimes from when I was 12, before mobile phones with camera and cameras.Try to write your outfit in paper!It will be sth like : blue t-shirt with white flowers, jeans-the pair I bought with my mum in December, necklace with beads I bought from summer holidays etc... Yeah..

What do you express through your style?
My personality.

Where do you usually shop from?
The Spanish ones : Berska, Pull&Bear, Stradivarious, Zara

What's your favourite piece in your closet?
The majority of my things are picked carefully, and when I say carefully I mean...I know when I want to buy sth, cause I love it! It's love at first sight and I grab it! If it suits me too, we have a buy!
But if I have to pick sth I'll say my Berska heels !


What was your last buy?
My brown bag

Favourite designer?
Christian Louboutin (its obvious I love shoes more than clothes!)

Favourite city(relevant with fashion)?
London definitely!! When I move there I need someone to introduce me into London fashion :)
photo from here


What's your inspiration(fashion icons,mags etc)?
What I see on the streets other people wearing! I don't like new trends until I see people embracing them on the street.

Favourite movie?
The one and only Notebook! IF we re still talking about fashion I have to say Sex and the City (tacky I know) Although I love the 40s and 50s fashion in The Notebook too.

Tag game and MLPs

The last few days I've just been doing this:

I hate it when I'm ill and I hate it when it rains! What about this nice, warm weather they promised??

Little stylist tagged me to write 6 things that make me smile though, so in times like this, it's good to remember!

1. Shopping!Even buying the smallest cute thing puts me in a good mood and makes me smile!
2. Baby animals! Mine, or other's, in pet shops, on tv, on youtube...
3. A happy ending in movies!
4. Getting my hair stroked! I'm like a cat in many things!
5. Polite people ( Yeah, it is rare if you ask me)
6. England. Thinking of the time I spent there and thinking of my future life there, makes me smiiile.

One thing you might not know about me (unless you looked at my flickr) is that I collect My little Pony ponies! Please don't laugh at me! ^_^
It all started when my mum threw away my precious ponies (although she is saying she didn't).
This summer my bf introduced me to ebay, and the first thing I thought was... vintage MLP! So I started looking around to whatever I remembered having, and started ordering!It's going well so far, and now I'm even buying new generation ponies, because, first of all, they re pretty anyway, and second, they ll become vintage eventually, right?
I hope my children will appreciate them as much as me one day. :)
So the other day I bought these:

Aren't they cute??
If you have any spare MLP from the '80s or '90s forgotten in your house, that you don't want, I'm here! I'm buying!
<3>

Just a random day..

Alecca Rox gave me this award the other day which was really sweet!

Apart from that, there's been nothing special lately. I've been having long lessons everyday and I feel really tired to even give myself a manicure at the end of the day.Tsk tsk tsk...

The theme of this post is "one day with tights". One look during the day, one for the night.

Jean shorts : Berksa
The rest is unknown random stuff

T-shirt is from Stradivarius, which I LOVE! I bought many cute things lately and I'm planning to go back for some pair of shoes! It's my new favourite store! For those who don't know it, it's from the same company who owns Zara, Berska, Pull&Bear, Oysho etc. So, all the good stuff! :D
Boots : Migato ( i think)

I found this:

...and I had to share!!!It's so funny!!Hah, and what's with Hello Kitty lately anyway?? I see it everywhere! Is there a HK campaign all over the world?
BTW, MAC didn't bring the HK collection here yet! Grr..At least it gives me some more time to save money!

I've been tagged

Stella from Shopping Therapy tagged me to write about revealing a fashion secret!

Hmm fashion secret...First of all I don't consider myself fashionable. I just pick up things I find cute and simple.

I like going simple. I leave crazy accessorizing and mix & match to other people who know better or who are more brave!Plus, I think I'm incapable of layering!I just cant! :P

In winter I invest in a really good coat
and in summer in nice bags that "steal "the attention. Everything else stays simple.That's jeans, tops, dresses.

Small details like nails and a necklaces add a little something to the look too.

Apart from that I ll share a beauty secret! Honey on your lips as a mask!Its the ultimate moisturiser!After that your lips will be super soft i swear!And scrubbing with milk and brown sugar!

And finishing all this, that's my super coat for this winter!

(PS.Coat from Pull & Bear)

Sooo, I'm tagging
Katrina from Ahoy Mate!
Mona from Make Me Blush
Ms Pink
Fuzz
Alecca Rox
