Hello everybody! I hope you're all just fine... Personally I'm so thrilled that summer is almost here and I really want to enjoy those late spring days, when it's not too cold but chilly and not too hot but warm enough to wear those wonderful, light spring clothes in open colours... what's not to adore in this amazing season! And as always the question to ask is "what am I wearing now?". Once again Polyvore saved my day with these easy, casual outfits anyone can wear in a moment!

Wish you all a lovely evening, see you soon
love you, xoxo Elena

God, it's been a tough week! With so many bad things happening around us, woldwide, you definetely can't feel very nice, even in the safety of your own home... Life is unpredictable, for each one of us. That's the only truth. So, we shouldn't worry so much, if  we can't handle all these  little everyday projects we may have planned.... Plans are made from us and we can change them, depending on our mood or unexpected events.... The point is to feel o.k. with youself, no matter what you're doing.
And this weekend I need to breathe a little, I really do! I have thousands of projects waiting for me and I feel bad about it, but when the bell rings in your head.... you must relax.... any way you like.

The simple things are the ones I love more...
...enjoy my morning coffee...
...and a slice of cake maybe...
...making dreams for better days to come...

...to take a walk with my best friend...

...picking flowers...

...daaaancing in the rain.....!

....yes, I' m daaaancing in the rain......

....I'm thankful of my ...followers (ha, ha!)....

...and I love them back...

...window shopping (..and a little shopping sometimes)...

...dating my man, ...like the old days....
...just to keep the flame sparkling...

...eating healthy...

....strolling in the nature...

all the above looks via

...gazing magazines...

....there is not limit to this one...
...thousands of magazines!...
...eternal love...

...cooking for me and my beloved ones...
...sweets is my forte!...
...perhaps I'll bake this cake for the weekend...

via

...and this pie could be the perfect snack for TV time...
...or a picnic maybe...
...it'll depend on the weather...

via

...there is always pasta in my weekend!..
...an easy dinner is a must, with so much to do...

via

...and the perfect ending...
...mousse au chocolat...
...divine...

Wish you all a happy, happy weekend!
See you on Monday.
Love you,
xoxo, Elena

Hello my friends! I'm writing my first post after redesigning my blog and it feels oooh sooo refreshing,  just as if I had a new blog!! A long time now I've been searching for something light, "open", simple, yet elegant and a little glamourous, with lots of space to showcase the pictures and the videos I love so much....you see I' am a 100% visualiser! Yesterday, I found what I' ve been looking for, at last! I'm sooo happy! I hope you're going to love the new design too and you'll visit my "new" blog more often... ,however, I want to be in it all day long......!!!
So the sun came out, in my blog, in my heart and in real life on the sky... God, how much we need a little sun in our lives!

           ....it warms up our bodies and our souls....it brings joy and life everywhere...

I woke up with a head full of thoughts this morning...
I'll cook a soup today named "giouvarlakia" in Greek, it' delicious!
I need a cup of tea... and a biscotti. This one looks just fine! I have to learn to make it...

...and this bee sting cake would be great for Easter days...

A little of this and a little of that... I'm ready for a Spring party!
... tea party anyone?

I'm dreaming of throwing mine wearing these absolutely feminine dresses....

....will you join me?...

... wish you all a lovely evening,
xoxo Elena

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
