A sprinkle of Orange!

HELLO, lovelies! How was your week?

If a bit tiresome or surprisingly nice, whatever you've been through belongs in the past.

This weekend let's enjoy ourselves with... a sprinkle of color! Shall we?

THE DRESSING TABLE

Photo 1: A silky doily with a flower lace covers the make up table.

Above the doily, an orange organza fabric adds a note of uniqueness 

in the whole decoration. 

For a more detailed presentation, just take the excess organza 

-that covers both ends of the table- 

and tie it with wrap strings.

Then turn the strings into a ribbon!

Photo 2: On the dressing table. Lipsticks and an alternative vase idea.

Just take a tall plastic water cup, dress it up

with a white organza fabric and

place some artificial white peony flowers in it.

Accessorize the vase with a ribbon in earth tones.

For more style, I added a golden chain 

that ends in a heart shape.

After this DIY project, it's time to beautify your self!

Use a lipstick in the color of electric orange

or my new favorite one, a sweet matte red velvet color.

For an ombre lips result, you may combine the two colors together!

So, what are you waiting for?

Reflect the color of the autumn leaves on your lips!

MY AUTUMN ORANGE COLOR BEDHEAD CUSHION

accessorized with a dotted, soft sky blue colored ribbon!

I sincerely wish you a beautiful season,

with lots of love and laughter!

Island Aromas!!!

It doesn't seem like the first rain floods can carry away the aromas of this summer!

It feels that the summer dream never ends...

I still walk through the narrow paths of a small island, shopping here and there small local gifts

(natural olive soaps, doilies with flower patterns, spoon sweets, traditional biscuits with olive oil...)

Photo 1: Outside an ice-cream shop, near the island's port. We had lemon ice cream and local coffee!

Photo 2: Citrus, orange, and tangerine aromas, all in one bottle, to chill your aura
and get you in a positive energetic mood!

Mediterranean aromas are in the air, all year round!

Have summer in your heart!

Early autumn retro style!

Have a beautiful month, beauties!

This Fall, fall in love with this pair of beautiful black and white, zic zac design shoes!

Impress everyone with your fine aesthetics, and enjoy a vintage side of yours!

So charming! Just my favorite!

THIS AUTUMN, GO RETRO BABE!

Colorful fashion dreams!

Hey, dolls! In this post, find out all the late August beauty and style news! So get ready to be inspired and recreate your self.


Daily essentials 

Face
1. Start your morning with a deep facial cleansing. Use a face gel which is suitable for the area around the eyes. Face gels helped my skin make a HUGE difference; it looks cleaner, whiter, and more fresh. I promise, you won't be disappointed.


Body Exercise
2. Let some music play in the background and do some stretching. Continue with the indoor bike machine or with your favorite zumba choreography. Also, don't forget to take the dumbbells and workout your arms.

Bring your life some color and recreate yourself!

Outfits
3. Have a shower and dress yourself up. Either you are staying home or going to the grocery, put on your colorful clothes to brighten up your day. "Today" is the best day. So, live it cheerfully! Why don't you choose a nice orange lipstick to rock it?


Meals
4. Escort every meal with rocket salad! My favorite recipe involves rocket leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, colorful peppers, tomato cubes, cucumber slices, pieces of cheese or chicken, toasted cubes of bread, and some olive oil :)  Also, don't forget to drink lots of water!


Keep your mind working
5. Read and write to keep your mind focused and energetic!


Nighty night
6. Already? It doesn't have to be the very end of the day. Go for some clubbing and enjoy yourself responsibly!


Final tip
7. Take that trip. Just do it! You were waiting too long for this one ;)

Night stories...

Good evening! 

Welcome to our first night talk!

I'm having yogurt ice cream at the moment,
it's absolutely freezing :o


I'm also daydreaming a lot. That's OK, I guess! ☺


I did some shopping early this afternoon. A fine nail polish conditioner was in the shopping list. 

I need to renew my wardrobe, you know. Clothes with a romantic detail wanted! I want to steal impressions, and perhaps a few kind smiles:P  


Now, listen to this relaxing piano~flute music and come, travel with me somewhere exotic... ☼ ♫

Now, I'm surfing while listening to the sounds of waves calling me liveeee, loveeee, laughhhh! Reality is far; now I live inside a beautiful dream. I'm wearing a flowing white dress and a rosy rose on my right ear. I hear music and people dancing. I wanna dance, too. I open my arms and get hold of the air. The melodies are like ocean drops. The sounds are harmonious. "What a bliss", I say and dance away, away... ... ... I am the music, the dress, the dancing feed. I am the air, I am the ocean. I am your beautiful dream! 
You may wake whenever you want, but no rush. Liveeee, loveeee, laughhhh...

June Faves: Black and white, Earth tone colors and Passionate red!

Hello, hello, hello summer beauties!

Photo: My must-haves!

 Mini notebook in a tribal design. 

Double cosmetic mirror, in the color of summer pink!

Natural stone necklace and plastic transparent blue bracelet!

Lipstick and nail varnish, in a most flattering sweet red color!

This summer why not choose to go boho?!

Boho your late afternoon style with a black high waist maxi skirt, 

a white short-sleeved crop top, in a tribal print,

and red high-heels!

Make sure you were lots of bracelets,

and a stone or glass beaded necklace,

in earth tone colors of white, sand brown, mud brown, and lake green!

Why not go minimal with makeup? The bare eyes look!

Wear minimal foundation in the color of golden sand,

and choose a passionate cherry red lipstick to finish the look! 

No eye pencils, no maskara! 

Make sure your nails are in the same color of sweet passionate red!

Reminder: This period, sun lotion and after sun moisturising milk are your besties!

Take good care!

Beautiful Hairstyles to attend a Wedding event!

A suggestion for medium length, straight thin hair!

Photos 1, 2:  A classic taste of Victorian hairstyle!

For this style, you need to have your hair cut in a way that gives you volume.

The haircut should be done some days before the formal event.

To create the style of the photo, your hairdresser will use round brush blow dry

to give your hair volume and then,

the professional ceramic curler to create many vivid bouncy curls.

For more volume, your hair stylist can place a hair bun (behind your head) 

and leave some curls rest on it and cover it.

Finish the look with crystal bobby pins to decorate your hair!

A suggestion for long curly hair!

Photos 3, 4: A totally romantic hair up style, with a curl hanging on one side!

Honey brown highlights look more natural on dark brown hair! 

Highlights should be done at least a week before the formal event.

To create the style of the photo, the hairstylist will back-brush the roots of the under-layers

 of your hair to give more volume and then, use the professional ceramic curler 

to create many vivid bouncy curls.

Once the hair up style is completed, small pink roses can be used as an accessory

to decorate your hair!

I hope this was useful!

Bedroom and Bathroom Decor Ideas!

 Bed table decoration...

The canvas rustic rose flower print is an all time favorite! I fell in love with it, at first sight!

It also came in a super affordable price!

Moreover, the pastel color and floral design of the heart shaped box complete 

the vintage decor of the bed table harmoniously!

Re-organizing small spaces of our bedroom, for spring!

 Hello beauties, have a nice month!

This period of time, I am in the mood for re-organizing my bedroom.

As space got limited and there's no more storage room left for new clothes and paper work, I just have to spend some time re-organizing my closet, bed drawer table and low bookshelves.

Starting from my closet, I have to check for clothes I won't be wearing anymore and get them out of the way. Also, some of my soft fabric clothes, I keep folded on the upper closet shelf, need to be brought back to hangers.

As for the lower closet shelf, there I already stored some table game boxes, to keep out of the way.

Opening the drawers of the bed table, I find things inside a little bit squeezed. Therein I keep a selection of magazines and folders on cooking, home décor, beauty, as well as smaller stuff like business cards and information leaflets.

A way to reduce material would be to move smaller stuff away and store them tidy inside a nice box.

Finally, inside the low bookshelves where I keep small stationary along with books and dictionaries, I intend to insert a stacker organizer case to make sure that all the inner space of the furniture is well used.

- So, which spaces of your home are you planning to re-organize? Think, also, of the spring decor! 

Take the test: Are you a sporty lass, a romantic fairy or a charming diva?!

Hey, dolls!

Would you take this test to find something about your beautiful positive inner self?!
