Paris, a delicate story

It is the winter that somehow makes this city even more magical. I find something less touristic about cold, wet, winter night walks and crossing bridges in windy days. The scenery of less crowded streets is really making you imagine of times long past, of elegant ladies under umbrellas held by gentlemen, or Parisian cafes filled with delicacies and of…

Α butterfly for Danai-Vintage

But how can you spread your wings and fly? Will they let you? I often ask myself if I think too much or too little of the things I am “supposed” to do. That society asks of me. The unwritten “rules” and “regulations” with which I must comply in order for the others to feel…

Anthropologie – November favorites

Lately, I am experiencing particularly calm feelings. Such, that I had almost forgotten, given the pressure and difficulties and inner searching and mood swings of the last years. I don’t know if this will last long but I try to enjoy every moment as much as I can. I have so much going on in…
