Flashback outfit in Rome!

Well the Italian vibe is still very vivid in my mind due to my recent trip to Milan,so today I thought I'd do a quick flashback to my days in Rome.

This is probably one of my favourite set of pictures because it reminds me of a very carefree time in my life.

I was visiting my boyfriend in Italy and we were just having fun snapping pictures around town...

Apparently I was wearing grey eye contacts at the time and I think I kinda miss them.

I was also wearing my favourite knit and and an Η&Μ beanie with a diy detail on it.

If you notice on the bow there are some gold strings and some pearls...

Well these belonged to a hair clip but I took them of and sewed them on my bow to add an extra sparkle!

Other items: A Bershka sweater-dress, Calzedonia blue tights, Longchamp Le Pliage bag and unidentified over the knee boots..

Hope you like it!

Μιας και είμαί ακόμα σε ιταλικό πνεύμα μετά το ταξίδι στο Μιλάνο σκέφτηκα σήμερα να κάνω ένα μικρό flashback σε κάποιες παλιές φωτογραφίες τραβηγμένες στη Ρώμη.

Το σετ αυτών των φωτογραφιών που βγάλαμε χαζομαρίζοντας με τον φίλο μου είναι από τα αγαπημένα μου κυριώς γιατί μου θυμίζουν μια εποχή που ήμουν πραγματικά χαρούμενη και ξεγνοιαστη.

Απ'ότι φαίνεται εκείνη την περίοδο φορούσα γκρι φακούς επαφής και νομίζω ότι θέλω να το ξαναεπιχειρήσω.

Επίσης ως πανωφόρι φορούσα ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου πλεκτά και έναν H&M σκούφο με την προσωπική μου diy πινελία. Οι χρυσές αλυσίδες με τις περλίτσες ήταν τσιμπιδάκι για τα μαλλιά το οποίο το έραψα επάνω στον φιόγκο του σκούφου για να του δώσω λίγη τσαχπινιά.. : Ρ

Το υπόλοιπο outfit αποτελείται από ένα φουτεροφόρεμα Bershka, κολάν Calzedonia, τσάντα Longchamp Le Pliage και αγνώστου ταυτότητος ψηλές μπότες...

Ελπίζω να σας άρεσει!

My Milan escape in pictures!

A couple of weeks ago I took a short trip to Milan! My need to escape from my reality in Greece and just travel somewhere was so big that the moment I saw those fifty euro flights to Milan I booked them even though I wasn't sure I would actually make the trip!( The truth is that I also wanted just for once to actually book one of those super cheap flight that always heard about but never saw!)

Unfortunately both boyfriend and friends were busy at the time so I went there alone and I did not regret it at all. Being a very shy person it has always been intimidating to do things alone but travelling on your own is actually very empowering and to me very fulfilling!

So since I do plan to visit Milan again with company I skipped sightseeing and focused on 6 things!

1. Go shopping/ window shopping  2. Visit Ostello Bello  3.Eat gelato (ice-cream)    4. Eat Italian pizza   5. Eat lasagna   6. Drink cappuccino

I took my pace and enjoyed just those 6 things without rushing to see everything and I can definitely say I came back a new person! 

I spent all three days at the shops, did a little bit of shopping and watched all the stylish people around me! I have to say the most trendy and in-style people were to my surprise asian!

I stayed at  Ostello Bello on of the best hostels in Europe which was one of the reasons I wanted to go to Milan! Perfect atmosphere, very friendly staff, warm common areas, great music and Italian cuisine!

I also had my lasagna there so what more could I ask!

My gelato was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!! 

Chocolate cone, with chocolate inside the cone filled from chocolate running faucets, nocciola, nutella and biscotto flavoured ice cream and a topping of merenda. Where's my insulin?

Unfortunately my pizza was not as good.Apparently it is only in Rome where pizza is served in every single corner.I had some pizza during my Aperitif but it was nothing like the thin crispy crust pizza I had longed for!

The first time I ever tried coffee was in Rome, so three years later back in Italy, an avid coffee drinker now I had to try my cappuccinos. The view of Duomo was majestic! 

I also had a quick one at the airport!

And then I was back! 

Back in Greece!

Where the sun was shining!
