SANTORINI

How can anyone resist the charm of Santorini Island? The caldera view, the sights of Fira & Oia towns hanging on tops of a steep cliff, the little shops & cafes…I could get lost just sitting there admiring the views. If you decide to check out the island, you should definitely splurge a little & stay at an amazing hotel with the  breathtaking view – worth every penny! Where to stay: Ira Hotel – without hesitation! The hotel is absolutely stunning and luxurious. The rooms are cozy, comfortable and large, but nothing beats the pool & sunbathing area. Facing the…

INSTA ROUND UP

ROMPER: Tobi Sunny Afternoon Floral Print Romper via TOBI // EYEWEAR: New Look Eyewear X Tansitions Lenses Miu Miu frames  The truth is, I don’t wear glasses, but I secretly find them sexy.

4 TRUTHS ABOUT THAT #BLOGGERLIFE

I often hear the following 4 words when I receive a package for a collaboration or an invitation to a hip event: “You’re so lucky”, but to be honest, there is no luck involved here, it’s all about hard work! Let me put this into perspective, a blog requires a lot of time & effort: create an outfit, take photos, edit them, write the article, make contacts, meet people, constantly create great content that’s ‘different and engaging” and put yourself out there…. how long does all this take?

HOME ESSENTIALS

Home sweet home! Except… It’s been almost 5 years now that my hubs & I have been living in our condo and it’s still unfinished. Bare walls, missing light fixtures, random blue wall in the bathroom that doesn’t match anything – you name it, we’re the worst. I blame it partly on laziness, partly on the lack of time, but mostly b/c I’m really picky. I analyze everything at least 100 times before it crosses my doorstep. This year I decided that I will finish the place and make it home-y (challenge accepted)! So far, I’ve accomplished 2 things: got…
