Because It's Monday: Gimme Some Sparkles

Ok, perhaps not my sentiments exactly today, but I'm pretty sure most of you suffer from those Manic Mondays, or even blaah Mondays... It's the start to the new working week, so my wish for you is to grab a coffee or power shake and rock on this week!

I guess this first picture does somehow reflects my mood of late, being pulled in numerous directions, trying to do everything and trying to balance it all very carefully. I feel like those performance artists with spinning plates... and if one falls then the others may well do the same... Crash and burn.

Therefore, I'm going to take a mini break from the blog. So please forgive me if I fall behind on my blog roll and don't comment back immediately over next week or so. You guys mean the world to me, & those who know me well, will know that I always have time for you & reply back (unless you're a spammer asking to follow, if this is the case, please do me the courtesy of visiting at least a few times so I remember who you are & build up a relationship).
I am still around, I just need to focus on some other bits right now, If anyone has ever been in the position of playing role-reversal amongst other things, you may well know what I mean...


Yes please, I wouldn't mind a re-fillable glittery coffee cup

I'd like to try this soon, pretty glittery nails with black bow-tie.

The Festival of Light, Lanterns filling the sky in Chiang Mai, so beautiful. I once saw this festival in Laos, one of the most remarkable places on earth. Everyone just got together, it was amazing seeing a community of people gel together to create such a beautiful festival.

Words to live by, Audrey is often right, no?

New readers, regular kittens, silent followers/visitors, you're awesome!

Have a great week everyone!
Καλή εβδομάδα!!!

Friday Funnies: Imagine Anna Wintour with Different Hair

I almost died laughing my head off when I first saw this... Can you imagine? Actually this isn't a bad look for Anna looking at this all over again. Will she ever change her fringed cropped look?

So, who's tried Zumba, it's one of the biggest craze's in fitness right now...?

This was a looooong time ago, but I still have a good chuckle when I see Justin rock a leotard on Saturday Night Live with Beyonce. The first outtake is below. If you haven't seen this before it'll guarantee a giggle from you.

What They Wore: MadWalk by Vodafone VIP Pre-Party, Athens

Ok, I figured it's probably about time I wrote about some great or at least fun happenings around Greece rather than whinge about troubled times...
Well, as it happened I missed the MadWalk by Vodafone VIP Party on Monday as it clashed with my Chinese New Year celebrations, but alas, the kind people at MadWalk helped me out with some of these snap shots of the gorgeous people of Greece!

First up, what is MadWalk? in a nutshell Mad TV, Greece is like MTV - a brilliant music channel for the young hipsters here. MadWalk sponsored by Vodafone however, is a Fashion Music Project, think major Catwalk show featuring Greece's leading Designers combined with live music from Superstars around the globe! I couldn't think of a more genius concept to celebrate fashion and music.

Above: Efi Papaioannou (Designer) in a gorgeous studded shoulder jacket & McQueen Clutch. I love this jumpsuit but I Want her jacket like now!

On 8 February the 2nd annual Fashion Music Project event will be featuring designs from:
I am beyond excited for this event as I missed out last year being in London. Anyhoos, more on this event soon.

Former model & TV Presenter (Next Top Model Greece) & this years MadWalk by Vodafone Presenter Vicky Kaya

I'm not sure if i'll continue to get random hits on Google searches on this blog for a 'naked' Kostas Martakis (singer), but I can understand why! If Greece made Barie & Ken dolls, I think he'd be one of those pretty Ken dolls, what do you think?
He will also be co-presenting this event along with TV presenter Mary Sinatsaki (below).

Pretty in Pink with a bit of sparkle

Interior Designer Extroadinaire & TV Personality Sissi Feida & Eleni Foureira, Singer.

I have to say I prefer Eleni in her 'summer mode' with lighter coloured hair and soft glowing tan... she looks ultra pale with dark hair...


Who did I miss? Catching up with my lovely Blogger buds, Elena of Life Full of Fashion and Penelopy of Fashion Architect, seen with super stylish TV Presenter, Alex Kavdas
If you want to see the night through Penelopy's eyes click through to her blog on the link.
