Have a nice February!

And yes, it's finally February, which means we are one month closer to summer!!!!
It seems like yesterday when school started, lessons began, rainy weather came to replace the bright summer sun..... But still, those 4 months were not in the mood of winter...... I mean, there were some very sunny days, as well as some rainy ones... But no snow at all.... and what's more characteristic of winter than some snow?????

The first two days of February were really white, and February arrived with much snow, enough for schools to close. Winter paid us back for all these months that were somewhere in the middle. Snowy weather by no means is more pleasurable than lying on the beach and running in the sand, but yet it is quite enjoyable especially if you are with good friends. Then you have everything you need for a nice white day. My beginning of February wasn't so nice, since right now I have fever, and I must attend to the english and french lessons in the afternoon. Bliech, I hate fever...
 Anyway, here are some inspiring photos.

Dream Sunday

Today my father returned from his trip to Athens, and he brought me my new book, Masquerade!! (Its froma series called Blue bloods, and it is the second book) I missed him, I hadn't seen him since Monday and I am glad he is back. Today we didn't have a volleyball practise because the coach was sick, so I spent some quality time revisioning history for tomorrow's exam. Then I read a bit of my new book.... The day was quite rainy and peaceful, so when my parents decided to go out for lunch I suggested to let me stay at home, so that I could play some piano......The rain is always so inspiring for piano, and so was this sunday... I decided to start  learning La Valse D'Amelie, by Amelie the movie. And my mind travelled to Paris once more....This movie is so niceeeeeeeee. And the music so romantic. And this is how I found what to add to my blog as well. I haven't posted anything about fashion lately, but never mind, because I am in a romantic, peaceful dream atmosphere right now...... And it reminds me totally of Marie Antoinette for some reason. It is a song that leaves you a sweet scent.... Anyway, good night everyone (it is already 22.32 here) and see you soon :)

A tout a l'heure! Bisous, Helene

Little Signs of Early Spring

I know it's a bit too early to talk about spring since it's only january. Today was the best day of January, that's for sure. The weather was just fine, and what can I say?? It wasn't cold at all, actually it was quite hot for winter day, probably because the wind was coming from the south... And souther than Greece is Africa, so yeah, it does make sense....  

Those days are great. Temperature is raising. Winter sales have begun. And speaking of sales, I must say I honored Zara and Bershka those days quite a lot. I bought two other jeans, even if I had bought before one week the blue one, only that this time one is pink and one is grey. I also bought a pair of shorts, a -kind of- blouse, a necklace and a skirt. Yeah that was quite a lot, all in one day.

School is going on very well, I must admit. I am predicting that in the second semester I will maintain my good grades, since exams have started, and I am doing pretty well. Today we got our first mark! Ancient greek- 18.5 out of 20, it is almost the same with first 3-month period, when I got 19. I dont care for half point, the teacher is going to put a very very sweet 19 on my grade card, so everything's fine. And we are writing incredibly many exams these days, at least I am doing well..... You know, we are allowed to write one a day and 3 a week, not more. So this week's program was like : Wed. Biology, Thur. Helen (its actually a literature piece like Oddyssey), Fri. Physics. Next week: Mon. History, Tue. French, Wed, Modern Literature......


This year, I must share my thoughts about it, is going to be great, maybe awesome. I am very optimistic, I mean, I always was, but there was a period, from august to november when all sparkle was away, and nothing kept me going. Yeah, 2012, is definitely going to be my year.  There are moments when you think nothing will change, and then, you see some little ordinary, everyday life things, that shout to you, hey keep going on, if you  give up now, you'll never reach the best times. And for the first time of my life, I understood why we all need goals. I also understood why English people who have retreated want to live their rest of their lives in greek islands, but that's another point..... Greece is an awful (almost) country, but everyone must admit, no other has a sun shining so bright even in the middle of winter. And that's one of the things that keep you in lines.

Anyway, I have a piano lesson, so I will write a bit tomorrow, and post some photos I want!! See you!!!

Cute Blog Award

After being awarded the Kreativ blog award and reaching 50 followers, now I am being awarded the Cute blog award! It was really kind of Emma to pass it on to me!

RULES:

1. Link back to the person who gave you this award. La vie, style et beaute.
2. Answer award questions.
3. Award as many blogs you think deserve this award.
4. Make sure you let those you give this award know that you awarded them.
5. Tell something you have never told before in your blog.

1. What is your go to make up product?

Uhm, I have to say that I don't understand the question, but if this means favourite product, I am saying for sure: MAYBELLINE NEW YORK- FALSIES BLACK DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think now you will never forget it, I have said it so many times, that I think I would change favourite product only not to say it once more......

2. What's your favourite fashion trend of 2011?

Uhm, I probably liked the one with blazers, the colorful blazers...Yeah, that was my favourite, although I don't have one.

3.What is your favourite dessert?

I love choclates, macaroons, muffins and cupcakes! And pancakes...

4. Favourite color?

My faourite color, it's really hard to tell. I love vibrant colors this period....Like ocean blue, hot pink and bright colors.I still don't like red, nowhere, from clothes to book covers. Dark reds are nice in nail polishes. Purple is nice in room walls. Green is fine on the pavements.

5. What is your middle name?

Uhm here in Greece, it's not very common to give middle names, so, like most of the people, I only have first and last. However Eleni is called in different ways all over the planet, and since I study english and french, I feel like Helene or Elen or Eline is like my middle name.

6. What was the last song you listened to?
It was Swagger Jagger by Cher Lloyd.

7. Cats or Dogs?
Cats! However my parents won't let me own one...

One thing I have never mentioned in my blog.
Uhm, I am very unlucky and 2011 was the top of all my lack of luck. It seemed like the worst year to me. My friend's mother died, she had cancer and she was 43 years old. Then my best friend died in the summer, and he was 16 years old........

First change for 2012

Today I woke up in a great mood. I was actually going to visit my hairdresser's after a long time! I haven't cut my hair since october.....It is a long time indeed.
I had decided it a week now, I must do a change, and yes, I did! I changed the haircut, and now it is a bit shorter..... But  one picture is equal to 1000 words, so let the speak themselves....

My t-shirt:

T-shirt LOVE SUN & FRUITS- Zara
Scarf- United Colors Of Benetton

By the way, I want to say a huge "THANK YOU" to my 50 followers! :)

A warm day

First outfit post of the year! Yay!

It was really warm the last days, so I took the chance to wear the new clothes I had bought on Saturday. A pair of really bright jeans and a new T-shirt, both from Zara. 10 days of discount was a very good reason to give in the temptation to enter the shops, and once I was in, I wanted quite a lot of things!

When I saw this pair of jeans, I immediately fell in love with it! I mean, I rarely buy jeans, so it really got me excited! Then I couldn't think whether I have a t-shirt to match it, so I ended up waiting at the cashier's with a couple of things. I was a bit bored to take photos, so I created a collage of my look. It's not very good, but it is the first time I use www.polyvore.com.

Zara jeans- 20 euros.
Zara tshirt- 10 euros.
Oozoo watch- 30 euros.
Urbanears headphones (plattan)- 75 euros.
the necklace I was wearing is like this one.mine was from Accessorize- 15 euros.
my ballerine shoes, not these- 20 euros.
a Bershka grey blazer- 30 euros.
Jansport backpack- 25 euros.

I wasnt really wearing the very same clothes, my shoes and blazer were different but....About the headphones, I don't have these, I have another model of urbanears (Tanto).

I bought it from Athens...
Now I have to go...Or I will be late to my volleyball practise!

This was my outfit! I hope you are having a good week already, see you!
