On 14/07/2011 and after two years of having this blog, I decided to change the layout and the about page! My name is Thalia and through this blog and this page I ll try and give you an insight of my life in athens./
Στις 14/07/2011 και μετά από 2 χρόνια που έχω αυτό το μπλογκ αποφάσισα να του αλλάξω εμφάνιση! Το όνομα μου είναι Θάλεια και μέσα από αυτό το μπλογκ θέλω να σας δώσω τη δική μου ματιά από τη ζωή στην Αθήνα.
I have two cats Clio & Tsita and I love them dearly both!/ Έχω 2 γάτες, την Κλειώ και την Τσίτα και τις λατρεύω και τις 2 εξίσου!
I also have a dog, Daisy. (yes i love animals!)/ Επίσης έχω και ένα σκύλο, την Νταίζη. (ναι λατρεύω τα ζώα!)
I love reading books and my favorite movie is Rocky I. (I do like other movies as well but this one kind of does something to me!) I have a bicycle which I used to ride a lot but not so often anymore…/
Λατρεύω τα βιβλία και η αγαπημένη μου ταινία είναι το Ρόκυ 1. (Μου αρέσουν και άλλες ταινίες αλλά η συγκεκριμένη κάτι μου έχει κάνει βρε παιδί μου!) Έχω και ένα ποδήλατο που δεν το καβαλάω τόσο συχνά πια αλλά τι να κάνουμε…
I love to hate and then love again Athens. It is where I was born and despite the misery and all the ugly things that it has I still love it.
Αγαπώ να μισώ και να αγαπώ πάλι την Αθήνα. Γεννήθηκα στην Αθήνα και παρόλη τη μιζέρια και τα άσχημα που συμβαίνουν την λατρεύω!
This blog started from desire to discover life in athens after living in London for almost 7 years. I love fashion, art and writing in Greek so you will also find a lot of them here as well. Hope you enjoy!/
Αυτό το μπλογκ ξεκίνησε από μια επιθυμία να ανακαλύψω τη ζωή στην Αθήνα, ζώντας για σχεδόν 7 χρόνια στο Λονδίνο. Αγαπώ τη μόδα, την τέχνη και να γράφω στα Ελληνικά, οπότε θα δείτε πολλά στα Ελληνικά. Ελπίζω να σας αρέσει!
[...] the way, my dear friend Thalia or else Thaloura Mc Clane tagged me in her last post to share with you “10 things you don’t know about me”. [...]
Hi Thalia,
I am reading your blog about one year – or more – so I consider myself quite a loyal fan of life_in_Athens. I like your aesthetics and the way you see fashion – not isolated from the social context, from your life and feelings. I loved your 365 non shop project and the swap not shop event you are organizing in Athens – although I never had the chance to come to one of them as I live abroad. I find funny, sweet and sensitive the abstract way you write about your feelings. I like it less when it’s about branding and famous brands’parties. In general, you have one of the sites I will take a look everyday and that’s great! Keep up the good work girl! Like you very much!
@Alice: I would like to thank you for your honesty and taking the time to make a comment and share with me your opinion about Life in Athens. One of the reasons that I started this blog was to do exactly this: to be able to share my aesthetics and feelings about fashion and things that are part of my daily life. Your comment made my smile and things like that are one of the reasons that I ve kept this blog for more than 2 years.
Thank you again and it was nice exhanging thoughts with you!
Hi Thalia,
Today I read about your blog in a Dutch newspaper (NRC Next). It was mainly about the swapparties that have become almost charity events. So I decided to pop over and take a look. The story about megaloso and being a child again made me smile!
I have not been in Athens (only on the airport twice when going to Corfu) but mainly through my work as a volunteer at Corfu Donkey Rescue I have a connection with Greece. So apart from other blogs I read blogs about Greece as well. Maybe the work of Corfu Donkey Rescue interests you as well. Judy Quinn the woman that started it writes a blog too. Think I will be back again to read some more.
[...] θέση σου, δοκίμασε να κάνεις κλικ εδώ, και να αφήσεις αυτό το κορίτσι να σου φτιάξει αμέσως την διάθεση με ωραία ποστς, [...]
Your blog is really an inspiration. I have read it now for 6 months after moving to Athens. The pictures are amazing and i like that you both write in greek and english!
