lomo views…

I was thinking of an appropriate name for this post, but i couldn’t find one. May be some times is better if you leave things untitled, or unsaid.
About a year ago i got my first lomo camera and i started taking pictures. Unsuccessfully. No matter how many i took, they were either fuzzy, or black or basically not depicting what i thought i was taking picture of.

However, if you have a partner in crime, well things can change. The last 8-9 months i have one, and he shares the same liking on lomography as me, with the difference that he is actually good at taking pictures. So i chose my favorite 5 from his very first attempt at lomography.

vonlenska vintage…

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!

autumn…

…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!

back from outer space…

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!
