Hello everybody! I hope you had a beautiful weekend. We spent ours spring cleaning, you see it's Easter week here in Greece and we want everything to be fresh and clean for the Big Day...Such a rejuvenating season! Inside and outside! I wish I had more time for my blog, but it' s crazy around here! Anyway I spared some time this morning to write these wonderful notes and links from around the "blogosphere" for you, as I do every Monday... Enjoy them!

~ Sparkling new come and get fit video from blogilates! Love it! It's kiiiiiilling me!!.. Actually killing my fat and sparkling me!!!

~ Very interesting apartment... interesting pieces and ideas for my home, although I redecorated recently...

~ Closets, closets, oh gorgeous closets!.... And what about these clear shoe boxes?... Briliant!

~Healthy eating: 3 Busy Girl Lunches. Don't they look delicious? And do you remember 3 Busy Girl Breakfasts from last week's links? Great, too!

~ The perfect bite: lemon bars!

~ Taylor Sterling and her blog Sterling Style were of  my first loves when I explored and discovered the wonderful world of blogs...Glitter guide, her new and... shiny blog automatically became a new addiction of mine... And look at her now in one of the most famous fashion magazines worldwide, Elle magazine! I'm so, sooo happy... and proud of her... and me(!!!) discovering her in my very first steps... isn't she fabulous??!!!!

~ I can't wait for the cinematic event of the summer: the "Great Gatsby", at cinemas from May 10th

Bye, bye
see you soon,
love you

With the first, shy sunbeams and the slightly warm weather my mind is running outdoors. I'm dreaming of lazy weekend mornings, long evenings with iced tea and refreshments and romantic nights, all that taking place at a beautiful porch... or, even better, a garden! My porch is green enough, with many plants and flowers, which my wonderful husband is taking care of. I'm so thankful! Yet, there is job to be done, if I want to reach the porch of my dreams...So, I'm searching! I have "big" plans(...he,he..)! I already have a wooden table and four wooden chairs which we bought when we were still living in rental, but the porch there was bigger, so they don't really fit now and here...and they were kind of expensive, too...
Anyway, last summer I discovered EMU outdoors furniture and it was love at first sight! I mean, it's exactly what my porch needs. Modern design with a classic touch, very beautiful and elegant, comfortable as well, light and 'airy", space saving....but not money saving...! A girl can dream...
Take a look and see what I mean. You can find these amazing pieces here and here

"Heaven", "Candilever", "Vera" and  "Shallimar" collections are my favourite ones, however, having a look at their catalogues  is worth every minute!
Have a nice weekend,
love you, xoxo Elena
