American Oxygen

Goooood evening lovelies,

I am back with a quick little post tonight and I'm here to share with you the third cute little item I got from Dressgal. I decided to get myself another simple black pencil skirt to add to my collection because my other one is getting old and will need to be thrown out soon. What I really love about this skirt is the cool pleated pattern and that you can wear it for any kind of occasion; whether it be work, out to a club or just a casual day out (like in this post) it looks good. I love that it is super hugging (and sucks everything in hahahaha.) 

I went for a really laid-back outfit with an American flag crop top, a beanie and my favorite pair of chucks. You know I had not choice but to pull in all the red accents with a red statement lip. 

Let me know in the comments below what you think!

Light and love,
xx

An Office Ensemble

Hello my wonderful petals, 

I am so so so sorry for the absence again. It seems it's getting harder and harder to post regularly with my internship but I'm here with a new post! 
I promised in my last one that I would talk about my trip to Ayia Napa; I went with two of my really close guy friends, we headed out after 4pm, drove there, had some dinner, went for a swim in the beautiful sea and then went dancing. 

The sea water in Ayia Napa is spectacular, an exquisite turquoise color and the sand is so white. The clubs there were something else, it was absolute chaos but it was very entertaining; just drunk, half-naked British people. I had so much fun dancing at the Castle Club though, my friends had to drag me out of there because I didn't want to stop. 

Apart from that not too much has been happening, just hanging out with friends from work, constantly working where I am learning so much and gaining a lot of experience. I've been going to the beach a lot with my mom and my sister and have gotten a kick-ass tan! 

This weekend we have a company party because our firm turns 3 years old on Saturday. That's going to be really fun, full of laughter and good vibes. I will be sure to show you guys my outfit and some photos of the night life. 

Okay, so onto today's outfit.
I shot this outfit a little over a week ago; this is the usual kind of outfit I wear to work. I wanted to share an office look, to show you that you can look professional but still look stylish and cute. If you read my post "My DressLink Wishlist", DressLink ended up seeing it and sent me the items. The dress I wanted ended up being too short but my sister had the smart idea of cutting it into a t-shirt. I paired my newly created t-shirt with a black pencil skirt, my favorite pair of flats and accented everything with playful jewelry and a tropical bag.

What do you think? Is this an outfit you could see yourself wearing to work?

Light and love,
xx

Summertime Sadness

Hi petals! 

How was everyone's weekend? How about your Monday? 

I had an interview at a Forex company for a marketing internship this morning and I got it eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I start tomorrow and I am so excited. I've never really been interested in finance but it's going to be something new to learn and also I'll get to find out about all the things that go into marketing. I'll post a little photo of me in front of the building that I took after I got the fantastic news. 

I also received a wonderful gift from a friend in the mail today; this badass anti-stress coloring book that he created himself using math. I'm a bit of a nerd so getting stuff like this that shows how math and physics makes up all the beauty of the universe makes me so happy. On top of all of that my mom finally got her face cream she's been waiting months for, so it's just been a wonderful beginning of the week all around.

This weekend is also busy busy busy. Friday evening we have a work beach party nearby to my house and Saturday my family is headed for facials that we won at the supermarket, then in the afternoon a barbecue in Larnaca at a work colleague's house. 

Oh I have a song to recommend, Treasured Soul by Michael Calfan. It really has those summer vibes, like you should just be hanging out at a beach party and the video is just as cool. 

Alright alright, so for today's outfit I mixed some minimal pieces with some bohemian ones. I went for a neutral skirt and sandals but went for a funky top with the multicolored aztec print. I then chose a chunky crystal statement necklace to finish it all off. This day was particularly fun to shoot because it was windy so I played around in it and my Aunt's cats were prowling everywhere. The one you see in one of my photos is Habibi, she absolutely adoooooooooooores attention. 

Well I hope you are all having a good start of the week as well.

Light and love,

xx

When Will I Stop Dreaming

This weekend is Easter weekend here in Cyprus because like Russians (my nationality,) Cypriots are Orthodox and we celebrate the holiday at a different time. My mom spent today preparing traditional Easter food for tomorrow and we also went to run some errands. Our first stop was at the botanical shop.. I didn't want to leave. There were so many trees, plants and flowers of so many glorious colors. I just went around smelling all of them and looking at them; some of the flower tenders started to look at me weirdly. I also made friends with a little black and white cat who demanded to be scratched and followed me all around the garden. We then went to do some food shopping and run some other errands for my sister. 

I went for a very feminine and romantic look with the soft wavy hair. I opted for all neutral colors. I paired a short bodycon skirt with an airy and delicate cream cowl-neck top. I went with my trusty black ankle booties, my cape for both warmth and to add a chic element. I also went for some statement earrings to add some shine to the outfit. 

Happy Easter to all my Orthodox followers!

Light and love,

xx
