Apriati Crush

Some of you might have noticed my always there bracelets, I'm a big bracelets girl, that must be said. I love fine and delicate ones, gold and silver, with gems or without. But my favorites are without a doubt the ones from greek jewellery Apriati. And I know they are a hit, all my friends have them now on their wrist and absolutely love them. 

And the food

As promised here is the yummy Greek post. Greece is famed for its food and very very rightly! Here are some of the delicious meals I enjoyed while on holiday.

The traditional Greek salad, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, green peppers and onions

Olive oil and oregano

Very tiny prawns. Delicious and so unique

Tyropitakia, cheese parcels, rolled in fyllo pastry

Calamari with potatoes

Sofrito, a Corfu speciality

A Surprise... open... 

and open... 

and discover a delicious Arni Kleftiko, oven baked lamb

My giagia's (grandma) amazing stuffed zuchini flowers. To die for!

And finally, loukoumades with chocolate, fluffy and airy with melted chocolate.Yummy

A small Corfu tour

As you can imagine and as I told you i had a great great time in Greece. Beside visiting my family I spent some days in the beautiful island of Corfu with my boyfriend, friends and his family. Corfu is exciting, beautiful, with greens and blues, incredible sandy and rocky beaches, great little classic streets that mix the italian renaissance and the Greek allure. A must.

Some of my faves shoots below, not very arty but hope you enjoy my little tour. I have planned a food post too, incredibly delicious!

Back to normality... or so...

Greece was beautiful as usual, very hot but a great place to relax and enjoy the good life. I spend some days up in the mountain in my grandmother's home where I had the most delicious meals and enjoyed the best relaxing time. Plus I became obsessed with the surroundings and couldn't stop taking photos of the flowers, the veggies, the chickens! Life in the country is definitely different!

More of my trip this week. I missed you all and cant wait to catch up!
