Moments in Rome

Leave a reply

I spent the last five days in Rome living La Dolce Vita, due to a very special occasion. The wedding of my dearest friends Cici and Andreas. A four-day of unforgettable moment sharing with the ones I love. Here is a photo calendar of my trip, from the magnificent garden of Hotel Quirinale to the food experience in Rome.

Highlights: The gigantic tree in the garden of Quirinale, the live jazz at Etabli vineria, the welcome cocktail party at Salotto 42 (ranked Νο.2  in the best 100 bars by Worldsbestbars.com), the raw seafood at Baccano, the day trip at village Ariccia, the homemade tiramisu at Casa & Bottega, Rome in full bloom, Cici in her green dress looking happier than ever.

Easter zen

2 Replies

What I love more about Easter holidays is that I have plenty of time for gardening and cooking. And enjoying the peace of my house. Spring outfit consists of pajama-type suit with wide pants, stripes, the vintage Versace necklace, Balenciaga lace up pumps and a pair of so-very-90s DeepshallowExposition sunglasses.

Diners

3 Replies

On Sunday night dinner was served chez Eleni Psychouli, with homemade cheese & olive breads, meat soup with veggies, pies and greek delicacies. Unpretentious hospitality, inherent kindness and love is what always makes those nights with her the best time spent ever.

For all food lovers who don’t know it yet, Eleni launched a couple of months ago her food blog, To Pirouni. (Very proud to say that I kind-of have been featured there).

Definitely one of the best nights of Christmas holidays till now:

Dinner chez monsieur Pandos was a combination of ingenuous elegance, great food, outrageous late

night tales and hysterical laughs. I had missed that.

At Bollywood

Another dinner post.

This time was all about Bollywood, the indian restaurant located in a former industrial warehouse at Gazi area, oriental decorated with indian weave patterns and elephant scultptures -but not too indian.

Great food, given that you’re into spicy cusine. Kudos for the Beef Vindaloo, the “Cashmere” (vodka martini cocktail with ginger and saffron), the rose sorbet and the indian psyche music by dj Iznogoud on the decks.

at Mageia shop

The latest project curated by the students of Fashion Workshop by Vicky Kaya was to conceive and create the window shop of Mageia boutique on Haritos str, that was unveiled on Thursday afternoon and celebrated the way it should: with big smiles and joy. Well done girls! See more photos here.



Idi Prikos

“Idi Prikos” is the latest mania and secret love of Eleni Psychouli: having spent hours and hours embroidering, Eleni created a folk-art treasure consisting of handmade pillow cases, tableclothes and towels, by combining grandma’s crochet handcrafts, silk and velvet fabrics from her trips around the world, vintage ribbons and cloths. The outcome is a greek-fusion collage memoire, of past decades that you’ve never lived and places you’ve never visited, but you keep them in your heart with warmth




The collection was presented yesterday at TR2 concept store, and standed out perfectly in the white sterilized enviroment

1st of March, first day of spring, first day of the new TR2 Kolonaki shop so the right time for a small celebration. Mr. George C.Carabellas invited the bloggers that participated to the Moving on/Moving Up project for champagne, chatting and pop corn. All products, carefully chosen with love by George, stand-out in a perfectly designed minimal enviroment. Find below snapshots from TR2 and two blond beauties, miss Lemoncake Wardrobe and miss PinkGirl Notes

Houston Cafe

3 Replies

the most beautiful cafe i’ve ever seen. owned previously by a greek man that worked and fortuned in Texas and returned to Patmos island, and now run by the last sister of the family. Originally decorated by them in the 60′s praising the American Dream, Houston Cafe is a vintage paradise where no man’s hand has ever alternated its retro beauty and no decorator has ever added a single pot. Conde Nast design magazine World of Interiors dedicated a few pages to this small jewel two years ago.
Mrs. Stamatia will serve you greek coffee but only if she likes you. We had our moments.

yesterday we were shooting in a magnificent location that had nothing to be jealous of a museum, overflowing with precious paintings and sculptures and antique furniture. a couple of photos and me with ma boss in stylistic harmony (though he’s 1.90 i managed to make him look like a dwarf. nope definitely not my fault, there must be his YSL baggie pants’ fault i’m sure)

fashion and interior design came together once more and take a look at the outcome:

Jean-Paul Gaultier collaborated with Roche-Bobois creating a bouquet of materials, colors and patterns a la française.  i flirted with it today at Roche-Bobois store and i just neeeed the whole set for my pool room but that means i would have to build a pool. which demands a new house. ahem.
