My Week Through Instagram

From left to right, starting from the top:

This week I travelled to Athens for a friend's wedding. We had a wonderful time and I took a couple of days off from work to relax, see my friends and ...go shopping! Here are a few pics from the trip:

1. Sometimes I take an orange juice break instead of a coffee break. But only when I'm at Starbucks! I love their fresh orange juice!

2. The H&M flagship store in Athens, is gorgeous!

3. My recent purchases from H&M: a cuff bracelet, a pair of coral-pink ballet flats, two sets of stud earrings, a bronzer and a gold hair clip.

4. An outfit that caught my attention at Uterque.

5. Fantastic homeware at Zara Home.

6. And this is the Zara Home tablecloth that stole my heart... 

7. Having a pedicure and going for a cherry red colour by Essie!

8 & 9. Trying to skip calories by watching my friend Ilias eat yogurt ice cream and not having one myself. This is his weird mix.

Under 100: Christmas Decor Selections from Zara Home

 Today I have one more post on affordable Christmas home decor accessories from one of my favorite home stores "Zara Home"! I LOVE the two red and white tea towels!

Selections from Zara Home

If you love Zara clothes then you'll probably love Zara Home accessories, an Inditex company which offers stylish houseware at affordable prices. I'm saying affordable and not cheap because you could buy some of these items at a better price, and if you are a regular shopper at Etsy you would also know that you are getting handmade, unique home accessories and not mass production items. Still, their stores look great and they make amazing shopping windows, so if you are close to a store, step inside just to get some ideas as to how you can put things together to create a lovely and elegant decor. Here are my selections from their latest Autumn - Winter 2011 line!
