no change going on

type

Everyone is a certain type of person.

new thing:mad men

I know it was long overdue but I just started watching mad men and I am adoring everything. It was impressive the way they captured the atmosphere, the styling, the interior designing of the 60's. I like the plot too

(and the cast more).

reminiscing lapland

as it's getting colder I am thinking about the snow/as in...

will it snow this year?

will I go away to the snowy mountains? 

how much fun was last years's trip at lapland...

smile

hey, I am back and more random than ever.

refreshed and revised

After a couple of weeks of hard work I went away for the weekend and it turns out it was all I needed. Rest, good food and beautiful snowy walks on mountain Taugetos.

the come back

As it turns out I didn’t call it quits and I will be writing once again, or so I say so now. Being away from my misscatterbain side and trying to be much organized and in control, kind of burdens me, as it turns out. So, for the last months I have gotten in a good place professionally wise, doing a job I love and I can’t wait to go to each day (and I appreciate how rare that is) and doing renovations on the side to feed my architectural need too.

Somehow all this that is going on socially wise, as well as personal issues (supposed friends acting like idiots) got to me and today I thought of turning once again at my internet god who figures it all out for me. So I hope I make time to psychoanalyze myself through blogging or just pamper myself with lovely photos.

to moscow my sisters (and to saint petersburg too)

I have been away for so long, first because I was super busy with a project at work and second because I went to Russia.

There is no need (and no time) to elaborate as I will share some photos that tell it all.

weekendology s2ep5

It was an eye opening weekend and as it usually goes, when you manage to go further and further away to look at the big picture, it all makes sense. So as an answer to my puzzled mind, I met my godparents after 20 years of not seeing them. They live outside of Aigio and we had a lovely time together.

Chanel to the rescue

That’s how life goes. It gives us sorrows, it gives us shocks, to learn and get better and put things in perspective. I have been getting a bucket load of all of the above and now I feel like I should be on the defense, to look out of what’s coming next.

In the meantime beautiful clothes always make me feel better so what is more appropriate than photos from the recent catwalk of Chanel for spring-summer 2012.

anthropologie fruity windows

Anthropologie did it again. I had posted about their amazing windows some time ago, here but now they posted on facebook their autumn 2011 windows and they are once again so inspiring.

spanish and sisters, and accesories

Spanish and sisters is a brand I found recently through a bag I saw and instantly fell in love. The designers are two sisters who started at the Portobello market and are now shelling accesories, belts and bags throughout Spain and Britain.

 

lucy in the sky. with diamonds.

I am quite attached to the theme of skies, yes the sky. Blue sky, cloudy sky, pink sky. I love looking at it and I love taking photos of it. I love the songs about it. So today thinking about what to post, skies came to mind. Seemed like a good idea to start the week looking at photos of the sky.

DIY madness

I feel like it is about time I post some of the cool DIY concepts I have gathering in my space disk. Some of them might be waiting to be found and transformed in the garbage near you.

the world as a playground by Florentijn Hofman

I have been away too long, so there are ideas waiting to get posted. First is an artist I stumbled upon while doing a web-research and I smiled instantly looking at his work. Florentijn Hofman is a dutch artist that can’t help but stand out through the scale of his work. He likes to create unique, huge installations out in the public space, as he sees it as a big playground. 

happy birthday to youuuuuuuu...

Today is the day that my younger sister is turning 26. How is that possible when she is 4 years younger and I feel 25??

ode to a car

I just bought my first car yesterday, it is a used one, it was previously owned by a friend of mine, it is black and I can’t drive it. The whole point of buying it is to touch up with my driving skills as soon as possible. Since I didn’t get too excited to see it yesterday, I thought I would devote this post to it, through a photo shoot I did with my sisters’ car a year ago, for a photo contest.

7 swims + 10 ice creams

Yesterday night everything went horribly wrong with me ending up being driven home by my dad at 1 in the morning (that kind of sums up the mess that led up to it being my only solution).

On the way home we were listening to the radio, to a quite interestingly profound, yet unwillingly funny radio show, with the listeners calling to talk or sometimes sing live at the radio producer. One granma passed the phone at her granddaughter who talked about her summer and described it as “100 swims at the sea and 40 ice creams”.

That manages to actually make me smile after a series of bad luck. I remembered myself counting ice creams and times at the beach.Unfortunately, it all led up to me counting 7 swims and less than 10 ice creams during the last couple of months. 

happy thoughts with Yago Hortal

Let’s start winter with this eye-catching, soul touching images by spanish, berlin based artist Yago Hortal.  Wishing for a creative, happy, inspiring winter.

all clear, vacations ahead

While I have spent most of the summer in Athens I still can’t put myself together to sit down and write an actual post. What’s the deal with the summer? Is it the waves of heat, the much anticipated cool breezes, the light clothes, the colorful cocktails, the cone ice creams?  What is it that makes us so relaxed and out of focus?
