LA LA LOVING...

Debonaire heart sole heels by Charlotte Olympia, a heartbreaking £545!

I'm all about delicious things when it comes to Valentines day and it seems these are just a few lustful things that caught my eye! 

I have fallen head over heels (ha ha) over Gianvito Rossi's SS13 collection, check it out here shoe lovers! For the preggo lady in me, I thought these floral trainers would be a stylish casual and comfy alternative to heels and at £35 (from asos) they're a bit of a bargain, no? I love ankle straps courts, these are a little unusual and fun, especially with the contrast heel and metallic toe cap via Kurt Geiger here. The purple colour is also fab!

Whether you're staying in or going out, how about making these delightful little bites of heaven? Recipe below!

Makes 36 Squares - Recipe:

115g (4oz) raisins

1tbsp dark rum

225g (8oz) plain chocolate

225g (8oz) plain chocolate flavoured cake covering (cocoa based product from supermarkets)

405g can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 tsp vanilla essence

55g (2oz) white chocolate

25g (1oz) dried cranberries or sour cherries

15g (1/2oz) shelled pistachio nuts, chopped

Make:

Put the raisins & rum in a bowl, cover and soak for 30 minutes. Line a 20cm (8") tin with baking paper. Break up the chocolate and the cake covering, place in a microwaveable bowl, add the condensed milk and cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir and cook for another minute, stir until the chocolate melts, then stir in raisins and vanilla and pour into the tin. Tap the end of the tin to get rid of trapped air bubbles. Melt the white chocolate and drizzle over the fudge. Scatter over the cranberries or sour cherries, nuts and chill until set. Cut into squares using a hot wet knife.

Pretty Pink drinks... I do love a good Cosmopolitan, but why not try something a little different, like this 'Tickled Pink' cocktail?

Whatever you're up to on Valentines day, I hope you all have a lovely time. I will say that this Tweet from Kizzy at The Dainty Dolls House nailed my thoughts on V-day: "I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, love is EVERY day & never found in gifts, but in the heart :)"

For Mr. Perseus and I, everyday is Valentines day! Sending you all lots of love!

Romance, Ruffles & Love

I Luuuurve this look, wishing it were summer, like, now!

Lovelies, how did your week go? Mine was somewhat hectic, rushing around most days scrambling to complete projects and also the run up to Valentines day always seems to be that much more chaotic.
Have you all finished Valentines gift shopping? Or are any of you having anti-V day celebrations with your gal pals like the one hosted by Jessica Biel in Valentines Day? Me at this moment: picturing scene with Jennifer Garner smashing the hell outta that piñata! Whatever your plans are this weekend, I hope you have an amazing one!

This week I also attended MadWalk, a major Fashion & Music event hosted by Mad TV (like MTV for Greece) and Vodafone. Wow is all I can say... You'll catch some sneaky shots I shared on Twitter, but otherwise hold your horses fashion folk, I'll be sharing some of Greece's finest talent with you all very soon.
Oooh, almost forgot, I have a very exciting "I want this Job" installment coming your way soon too!

This weekend, whilst I'd like to be chilling because I'm exhausted (I know I sound like a 90-something year old granny), I'm on the hunt for some wedding shoes for one of my oldest friends in the world. She's after a pair of heels with a bit of a platform... Anyone have any great websites in mind (for UK preferrably/US/Greece) let me know!

I saw this room and fell in love, tres dreamy, no?

I hope you all have a great weekend, filled with nothing but LOVE, from moi!

Smooches.

Happy Hearts & Love day!

Wow, the weekend just flew by, did everyone have a great time? Whilst I'm battling a corker or a migraine today, I'm not going to let it spoil my V-day food festivities for Mr. Perseus. I cannot wait to cook up my fave dessert - Molten lava cakes/chocolate fondants (awesome recipe by Gordon Ramsay)! What's everyone upto today? Any surprises to share?

Anyhoos, I hope you have a fabulous day filled with love, hugs n' kisses!

I saw these gorgeous and rather delish looking bits of foodie delight over at my fave baking connoisseur - Bakerella below.

i also wanna just say:
