Feline in Plaka

One of the most beautiful neighbourhoods of Athens is definitely Plaka. It is amazing how although you are just at the centre of the city it feels as if you were transported somewhere else with the narrow alleys, the trees, the beautiful neoclassical buildings and the views of Acropolis and other archaeologic sites located nearby. If you are planning a visit take the time to walk around and have lunch in one of the traditional tavernas you will find around the area. During the summer opt for a nice hat to protect you from the sun and a comfortable, cute pair of sandals that will allow you to explore that your feet hurting!

Cats and hot pink

You know I love fashion and shopping but I do not have the economic means to be able to buy new clothes every week so that I can wear a dress just once and then dispose of it and of course even if I had the money I would still not do it because it would be very bad for the environment. 

I keep it fresh by doing different combinations and adding new bits and pieces every way I can like this new beautiful bracelet I found in a very small shop by the beach in Kefalonia that I just couldn't resist.

Karavomylos with fringe and ice cream

Although in my everyday life I like big handbags that can fit even a goldfish in a bag (if you are not a huge FRIENDS fan like myself probably you don't get the reference) when I am on vacation I find that only a small cross body bag that fits the basic is more than enough for me. And if it is fun, quirky and cute even better for an island escape.

Assos in crochet and pearls

While in Kefalonia we were discussing with my sister how different fashion rules apply when on vacation. I am not sure that this is the case everywhere but when on a greek island in the summer time, it is very normal to see people walking around on their bathing suits and nothing else anywhere at any time of the day. I am not brave enough to walk around just on my swimsuit but it did give me the confidence to go around Kefalonia wearing just a pair of shorts and a crochet top on top of my suit.

Sami with pom poms

I am currently in the beautiful island of Kefalonia in Greece enjoying the beach, relaxing and having a great time with my fiancé, my sister and her boyfriend. Being on a island offers the opportunity for a laid back dress code and sandals are a must. Spending time with my sister means borrowing stuff from her just like this very cute bag for a night out and about in the town of Sami.

Summer in Athens

 It is great to be back home for some days because I get to see family, friends and be close to the beach. Athens is having a heatwave for the past days which means it is extremely hot and the sun is really strong. So a straw hat and shorts are my fashionable way of getting through it.

• Brown handbag: DKNY
• Brown sunglasses: no brand

Beatles and Miss Confetti

A black cross-body bag is a classic especially for a night out. Half moon bags are having a moment this season. What do you get when you combine both and give them a gold polka dot print? My new, super cute bag! Who says black has to be boring??
