A Sushi Adventure

If you've read my blog for a while you'll know that Saturdays tend to be family days because my sister works during the week. This weekend my sister surprised us by taking us to a Sushi cooking class. The cooking class was held at the White House on the Dam in Akrounta which is about 10 minutes outside Limassol (I'm in Cyprus.) 

Our teacher was Tracey who lives at the White house and is the person who runs the courses. She tends to teach children but this time she held a weekend class. We met lots of other lovely strangers of mixed nationalities and had delicious local white wine. We ended up making different kinds of sushi (ones with rice on the outside, ones with seaweed on the outside etc.), Gyoza (Japanese dumplings) and tempura! In my case, I got to make everything vegan. Tracey was so understanding and even brought out tofu for my dumpling stuffing instead of minced meat. Finally, when it was all done we got to dig in and share stories. It is definitely something I would recommend doing if you are ever here in Limassol. If you'd like more information about her classes, just click here. 

Today I styled this chic, flowy and slightly grunge outfit. I threw together my striped crop top, with my maxi skirt and of course my Nike Air Max Fusion's for comfort. I decided to go with a vampy lip and my burgundy satchel to match. To finish off the look I wore my big cross earrings to amplify the dark vibe. 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Saturday, I would love to hear all about it in the comments below. 

Light and love,

Today, I am sharing with you more of a night time outfit which I haven't yet styled here on the blog. This is something I would wear out to drinks with some friends or maybe even a club that was very casual, where I would want to be comfortable when dancing. 

I wore the regular high-waisted jeans, Nike Air Max Fusion's and my navy blazer but I added this fabulous sequin top. My mom passed it down to me years ago, neither of us know who it's from because it is completely handmade and there are no tags. It is such a lovely fit and the material is so beautifully sown. I paired it with a black clutch with gold studs, even though the accents on the top and the clutch are different they still go well together.

Light and love,

Hi petals!

I'm sorry that I've been away for the last couple of weeks, my sister was away first to Egypt so I didn't have a photographer, then the following week her boyfriend came and we were so busy, and then on top of it all I got a cold, so I have a valid reason for my absence.

Today I got inspired to style this very bright funky outfit. This is definitely the kind of thing I wear when I want to make heads turn. I took one of my favorite pair of shorts which have a tropical print and are high-waisted; they are actually summer shorts but, because they are black put on some tights underneath and they are cold weather appropriate. I paired it with a cropped red sweater, a browny orange lip and a pair of turquoise earrings. Since the whole look is very colorful I opted for my black Nike Air Max Fusions to tone everything down. 

I am really in love with this outfit and would definitely rock this outfit on a day out with my girls. 

Light and love,

xx
