In Fashion, NOT Shop project
is a contemporary vintage shop on etsy. In her shop you can find beautiful vintage clothes and house ware that are carefully chosen. So i was really happy when my friend Hari from SohoSymposium informed me that i was the lucky girl that won the give away from Ermoumag! I mean can you imagine? I am not shopping and in a magical way clothes still keep coming to me! So i come back from my first 2 weeks of holidays only to find a parcel…


To be honest i didn’t remember at all what was it that i won, so till i have opened the parcel, i was really inpatient. I mean who doesn’t like gifts and surprises?

It was something floral. A floral skirt. Big smile on my silly face.
Unfortunately did not get a chance to wear it on my holidays but i did wear it yesterday and it was lovely.

I also discovered yesterday that fishes can swim in a sea of flowers!

Nahh, just kidding. But wouldn’t be surreal if they could?

Have a lovely weekend people!

…is finally here. (hopefully cause in Greece the weather has gone mad). I can’t wait for nights in the sofa, drinking tea and reading a book, or walks in the beach in the afternoon while there is windy. Leaves falling down, long scarves around my neck and colorful socks on my feet. Hooray for autumn and goodbye summer!

Yeap that is me. It is been almost 5 weeks since i had a proper post…but to be honest it still feels like i have salt on my lips and sand on my toes. Not to mention the fact that when something goes bad well is probable that everything will go bad. In my case bad means no internet connection and a crashed laptop. Hopefully everything will be shorted by next week. or the time being let me just say that i am making some changes, i am getting organized and as i have promised here are some photos taken with my camera that can give you a small hint of how it was. Basically 3 weeks, 3 different places, good friends, corals, lots of deep breaths in the sea and fun games and of course beautiful sunsets…















till next summer…
till then have a kick start for September!

I think this is propably the phrase that really characterizes how i feel at the moment! I ve been away for 3 weeks and that is the longest holiday i have taken for ages!

I had an amazing time and it is the first time that i was gonne and it didn’t feel like i was missing things. To be honest there have been a couple of important changes in my life, like starting at a new job…
It really feels like i am starting anew and i can only see this in a positive way!
I promise that in the next couple weeks i ll catch up with blog reading and of course i ll post photos and stories that will give you an idea of those three weeks that i was literally in another space!
It is good to be back!

Dear all, Lifeinathens is closing for holidays!

Today is my last day at work and tmr i am off for almost a month and to be honest i can’t wait!
The above picture was taken last year on board and i thought it is suitable to describe my mood at the moment.
Closing for holidays means that i am most probably not posting anything for 3 weeks and there will be no updates on the NOT shop project. Which reminds me that i haven’t really said anything about it lately. That is not because i have abandoned the idea. To the contrary it has become so much part of myself that i do not even think about it anymore. This week i put myself to the greatest test of all: sales and cheap thrills.
Well i am proud to announce you that Miss Thaloura walked in the shop, browsed, did not try anything on, and then walked out of the shop.
Huge smile and not a small feeling of regret.
That is a personal success my friends don’t you think?
Anyways there will be more posts about the NOT shop project when i came back and of course a brief description of what i have been up to.
I truly hope you all have an amazing summer no matter where you spent it. The most important is who you spent it with.
