How to clean old sneakers & make them look like new again

Okay so it's spring time again and this means putting those winter boots back to your closet and it's time for sneakers! I don't know about you guys, but after a while for using sneakers no matter how careful you try to be they still get dirty :/ 
I recently wanted to restore my old Adidas Superstars (they are work in process at the moment!) because they were so dirty and got yellow, so I searched good ways to make them like new again. I will be posting about them later on IF and WHEN i will get them clean again!! But in the meanwhile, I cleaned my other Adidas sneakers. They are few years old and I haven't been wearing them much lately because they looked so dirty, but now, they look like new again! And while I was cleaning them I thought it would be nice to share my cleaning tip with you guys, I'm sure there's lots of you out there who would appreciate this quick, simple and  inexpensive tip so here we go! :) 
All you need is Miraclean stain remover ( I'm using Vileda ), water and pair of sneakers that you would like to clean! Wet the stain remover and start rubbing your shoes! You will immediately see the difference and it doesn't take longer than few minutes and volá, you have clean sneakers! Easy,  right? :)

Saturday night @ the beach

Last Saturday night I went for a little car drive with my friends and before heading back to home we decided to go and sit on the beach. It was the warmest evening so far, so it was really nice to just sit and relax and breath the sea air! I just love the scent of the ocean!! 

Sooo because once again had Emily with me I asked her to take some outfit pictures, I know the pictures are not that great since it was night-time but I still liked them, hope you do too :) 

Jeans: Bershka

Sweater: Bershka

Fur vest: Tally Weijl

Shoes: H&M

Ohh btw, I started Atkins diet today (im doing only the first phase which is induction) so I will be posting my results after two weeks when it's over! But if you like I can do a meal posts and process post during the week, just let me know in the comment box !! :)

Hear the sound of the ocean

One thing I really love about living in Cyprus and specially here in Limassol is that sea is surrounding you everywhere. It doesn't matter if you live in a village or in the city you can still see the beautiful Mediterranean almost everywhere.  Yesterday me and my boyfriend we went to the sea for a little walk. It was warm outside but the wind was pretty strong hence the air was chilly too! But it was still so beautiful; the sun was shining and the ocean was really blue. Me like it!

You can actually see how windy it was from the pictures!But loook at those waves, they look so cool!

It's all or nothing

Hey guys and happy spring time everyone! :) 
It's time for outfit post again! On Saturday I out to eat with my friends and fiiinally got someone with me who knows how to take pictures, so thank you Emily! :)x

It was too cold to pose without my jacket so sorry guys! Underneath my jacket I was wearing a white top with blue stripes and a black cardigan, so yeah my outfit was pretty black! 

As you might know from the previous outfit posts, my favorite jeans are the one from Top Shop. Oh well you never guess what happened to them! Few weeks ago the jeans ripped off from the left knee (and they were my only jeans that were not ripped so I got pretty sad).  That was a good excuse for me to go shopping some new jeans and once again the only jeans that I liked were from Top Shop so I got them! : )

I was also wearing my new jacket from Tally Weijl and my favorite boots that I got from Finland! And of course my new bag from DKNY! :) 

What do you think of my outfit? like it or not? :)

14th of February

My friend had a birthday party last Saturday and we were very lucky because it was Valentine's Day and Mascara make up store in Limassol arranged free professional make up! That was my first time in real professional make up and I really liked it! Wish I could have someone every day to do my make up ;p Also it was a nice change for my make up routine, since I really don't know how to put nice eyeliner nor do I have courage to try something new, and the make up they made me on Saturday was totally unusual for me, it was really brave and darker and I just loved it. Especially my eyes, she made them look really nice and now I need to learn how to put eyeliner by my self also :) !

This is the only good picture of me and my outfit! My outfit was really a last minute thought but I really liked it!! I was wearing my leather look a like leggins, long cardigan, my jeffrey campbell shoes and short sequin top! 

Cardigan : H&M

Top: Tally Weijl

Leggins: SuiteBlanco

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

 How was your weekend? :) Have a good week everyone! xx

Little Black Dress with Dailylook

I have a confession; I don't have a LBD. I know, I know, I really should get one ( or two? ) because they really are lifesavers when you don't have anything to wear! So before I am getting my first LBD, I created with DailyLook's styleset my dream look with one of their LBD's.  Dailylook has so many great LBD's ( and with different prices!! ) and it was really hard for me to choose my favorite, but when I saw this little black dress, I totally fell in love with it.  The reason why I love this dress so much is because it's something that is totally out of my style, but it's a dress that I would really like to own, it's an elegant dress that would make me feel like a woman instead of my girly style.


I combined my LBD with two of my favorite things; A Chanel Bag and pair of nude Louboutins. With a red lipstick you can't go wrong, because I think it's the only colour that goes with LBD perfectly!  What it comes with accessorizing the look, I wanted to keep it simple, so no big necklaces.

 I really enjoyed creating this look because honestly, it's a look that I wish to have one day! And I really need to get my first LBD, that's for sure now!!

What are your favorite little black dresses from Dailylook? And how would you combine your LBD ?
