Blinding sun.

  Habits and changes. 

   This place has become sort of established here in Red Rose Cheeks. Two years ago, summer 2012, we photographed for the first time here, then summer 2013 followed and now, here we are, summer of 2014. This makes me think that this blog is already 4 years old. This year, though, hasn't been as productive as I'd want it to be, blog-wise. One thing I know for sure is that I always try to post quality articles, regarding the outfit, the photography, the place that we do our photoshoots, the text. Quality over quantity -always. I am still in the process of thinking about what it is I want for this blog, and I believe that what I need is a change. To make some changes here. Well, time will show.

   For now, it's the 2nd of August, the month of vacation and I am packing my suitcase 'cause I am leaving today, yay! So, I believe I can pospone these thoughts a liiiiittle longer and be back refreshed, with new material! 

   ☁☁☁

  I hope you are having a great summer, full of laughter, ice creams, late nights, salt on your hair and of course, love. Ahh, love.

Ariel.

   ...aka the Little Mermaid. Now, you are probably wondering what does Ariel have to do with a not-so-much-of a-sea-setting. Well, the answer would be "nothing", except for the fact that one of my 7 year old students back at our school days well-observed that "with this red hair and these colourful clothes you look like Ariel- the little mermaid"! Wow! It is amazing what a child's imagination can create out of nowhere!

   Once again, my hair is braided! Well, you will not see me wearing this hairstyle again any time soon, as I am leaving today for Chios to visit a special friend and, under normal circumstances, I won't be posting for several days. Have a great weekend and see you soon!

   ...Well, thinking about happy moments like the one described above, is vital during these hard times.

French Girls.

   I have always thought that French girls are the epitome of what we call "chic". They are all about feminity, but it is weird how they manage to do that, despite the fact that they can add girly and boyish touches in the same outfit. The french braid on the hair, the french manicure on the nails, the pearls on the ears, the flowy fabrics clothing the body seem to go so well with shorts or a classic masculine jacket!

   Speaking of these things, how do you like my new hairstyle? I haven't tried a braid since I was, exmm, about 10 years old, and it felt like a nice change! The shorts are Fullah Sugah- I visited their store yesterday and found many pretty treasures and all in great prices! If you like to see more Fullah Sugah, visit other bloggers here, here and here .

   Before I stop my endless rambling on this post, as you can easily tell, I obviously like to roll between different decades or different styles when I am getting dressed. It depends on the mood I have at the time, or even a photo that inspires me when I spend hours and hours browsing on fashion blogs. After all, this is fashion. Experimenting, trying out things and finding inspiration e v e r y w h e r e.
