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?

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?
  

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!

Deep (into the) blue

How do I come up with all these titles? They should hire me in Cosmopolitan magazine! :P
I'm here for a quick post after all these days just checking yous, stressing, and studying. Two more to go and we're done for this semester.

For today's outfit we've got jean shorts from Pull & Bear, blue satin t-shirt from H&M, my favourite necklace from Accessorize, and sandals with ribbon in blue and turquoise colours.





Some time ago I got some awards, thanks so much! One from our girl Nina Malvada
and two Lovely Blog Award from Hot Spot aka Tasha and Mrs Style-Ish my current obsession! She is a super chic, stylish lady, with a shoe addiction and fantastic photos. And her style seems so effortless, I just love it!

The blogs I appreciate are so many, I should make a list some time! That's why I'm not giving any awards back, I'll have a whole post about that!

Also, I'm planning to make a list on the side with all the greek blogs, to have them together, and the truth is, there are so many popping up,or I find them through other blogs. Our little community keeps growing and the bloggers meet each other(check Nina Malvada for the most fun photos!), which is positive!
So if you have a greek blog that I don't know about, leave a comment to make your blog known out there and to add you on my list! So far I know about 25, which is great if you think that it all started with 3 blogs: Fashion Arcitect, Shopping Therapy and Little Stylist for me!

Till next time,

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.

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!
