Bohemian vibes at Casa Cook Rhodes
Casa Cook Hotels: LAID-BACK PLACES FOR KINDRED SPIRITS Casa Cook Rhodes has been our happy place for hot summer Sundays, our getaway staycation when we could not leave Rhodes. We read so much Jo Nesbo by the pool and finished so many bottles of sun cream, sipping watermelon coolers and nibbling on salmon club sandwiches and delicious salads… An oasis of cool (not only in temperature) which you can access without leaving home. The perfect weekend getaway!

The 3 beauty products I can’t live without in summer
Το καλοκαίρι τα προϊόντα ομορφιάς που χρησιμοποιούμε μειώνονται, ή μάλλον αλλάζουν – οι κρέμες γίνονται πιο ελαφριές, προσθέτουμε αντιηλιακή προστασία και πιο σκούρες αποχρώσεις μια που (κάποιοι τουλάχιστον) έχουν μαυρίσει. (Προσωπικά έχω το ίδιο μέικ απ που είχα και το χειμώνα καθώς είμαι ακόμα το ίδιο άσπρη!)

Say it with a T-shirt: Logo mania
The humble T-shirt, the emblem of the 90’s is back along with the 90’s mania for logos and it takes you from runway to street style to smart outfits with a twist. From Maria Grazia Chiuri’s statement on Feminism (read all about the iconic T-shirt We should all be Feminists and Adichi’s speech and book here) to The Blonde Salad’s logo T-shirt, more and more designers are choosing bold statements engraved on T-shirts or just ordinary emblems [like McDonalds] in an ironic twist on fashion and mass consumerism.

Πρωινό make-up για γιορτινά τραπέζια
Όλοι (και όλες) έχουμε ένα τουλάχιστον τραπέζι να πάμε (ή να κάνουμε αυτές τις γιορτές). Τραπέζια για τα οποία ανυπομονούμε για να δούμε φίλους και συγγενείς που έχουμε καιρό να δούμε και άλλα που εντάξει, τα βαριόμαστε και λιγάκι αλλά έχουν κι αυτά τη χάρη τους. Αλλά μην ξεχνάτε ότι τα καλέσματα δεν είναι μόνο βραδυνά: μπορεί να σας καλέσουν για brunch είτε για μεσημεριανό.

This fire of autumn – Happy Birthday Island Diaries!
Πριν από 365 ημέρες ακριβώς έγραψα το πρώτο ποστ σ’ αυτό εδώ το blog 🙂 Ήταν ένας υπέροχος χρόνος, γεμάτος νέες ιδέες, έμπνευση και πολύ χρώμα και σας ευχαριστώ όλους γι’ αυτό. Καθώς τα τελευταία χρόνια αγαπώ πολύ το φθινόπωρο, τα χρώματα και τον υπέροχο καιρό του (αυτό το crispy cold που λένε στην Αγγλία) ένας τέλειος τρόπος να το απολαύσω ήταν με ένα πικ νικ

Τι είναι το dot journalling και γιατί να το δοκιμάσουμε;
ή τι συμβαίνει όταν το “Για ένα δικό σου δωμάτιο” γίνεται “Για ένα δικό σου τετράδιο” και από τα άπειρα note keeping apps του υπολογιστή και του κινητού εμείς επιλέγουμε ένα χειρόγραφο, λευκό τετράδιο.

Hair trends 2017-2018 (EN)
Good ideas & careful collaborations bring good results! With Fairy Nails Rhodes and my blogger friend Anna from Via Dell’Anna we picked out 4 of the most prevalent hair style trends from 2017-2018 catwalks – and we love seeing them confirmed in New York’s fashion week. The greatest designers play with volume, accessories, choose low and quiet dos, braids and natural hair. Trend #1: Sparkle up the volume by CHANEL When Karl Lagerfeld makes the catwalk into a huge rocket making factory, for Chanel’s Prêt-à-Porter show, hair ought to be at least impressive 🙂 But note the simplicity: the effect is created by volume with a daring accessory. Trend #2: Slick Ponytails + textured accessories…

Privacy is the new luxury – the other side of Faliraki
You have probably heard of Faliraki as one of the busiest (and most saturated) areas of Rhodes, with its crowds of tourists and doubtful quality drinks. The famous foam (and various other shady types of) parties of the ’90s clearly are (mainly but not exclusively) responsible for this. Masses of tourists looking for cheap vacation swarm to this heavenly destination and along with the business-owners’ blind eye, turned it into a place where alcohol was cheap and so was everything else. Thankfully, not any more. Things are starting to change and quality tourism is once again returning to Faliraki, not only for its undoubted and unparalleled natural charm – the…
