Sorting Hat.

  Dilemmas.

   Every Harry Potter enthusiast has at least once in their life wondered in which house they would be placed at, according to the judgment of the sorting hat. Now, if you are NOT a Harry Potter fan, I am sure that all these sound a bit… creepy. But I promise, I won't bore you with details. 

   The four houses of Hogwarts are: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Each one of them is characterized by some specific qualities for the person chosen. Gryffindor is the house of the brave, Slytherin is known for its's ambitious nature, Ravenclaw is the house of intelligence, whilst Hufflepuff is the house of the loyal and caring. You should know that I am a girl seriously influenced by movies, even it is for Harry Potter. Take this, and my general tendency to always team up with the good ones in a movie, I would always imagine myself in Gryffindor. That was until I watched the last series of HP, and all my love suddenly concentrated in a specific Slytherin character: Professor Severus Snape. HP lovers, you know what I am talking about (I will never forget this quote). 

   So, it’s a real dilemma between Gryffindor and Slytherin. I haven’t decided yet, and I am re-reading all the HP books in order to be able to make a choice! Slytherin house has earned me in one sector, though- fashion wise: Green is my favorite color, so when I was to choose a house scarf for my collection, it was definitely going to be Slytherin’s. 

   Enjoy the photos and hey, non HP fans, try not to jugde!

   I thought this was one of the "happiest" posts of Red Rose Cheeks. Maybe it was the warm touch of the sun coming down at that moment, or the beautiful greenery around the park. The most amazing thing, though, is that my... "official" photographer was also left with a positive feeling after the photoshoot, and that is amazing because, well, most of the times we end up arguing about the result of the photos...!  But I have to admit that he has really improved and he now manages to avoid the stuff that don't look so good photographically almost every time.

  This sweater is one of my favorites. It reminds me one I had during my childhood, which had three little heart-shaped buttons on the top of one sleeve. It was adorable! Maybe I will look for a photo that I am wearing it and share it with you ;) I often find myself thinking that some clothes I wore as a child were so nice that I would totally wear them now. Do you? I particularly think about a one-piece suimsuit I had which had a fruit print and was so pretty! I love such details in an outfit.

βουκαμβίλια.

 ...the greek term sounded better in my head than the foreign "bugambilia". Going through these photos, I realised how much this plant can lighten up every outfit. I was actually looking for an ideal place for this photoshoot when I discovered this little fuschia paradise just around the corner. You know I fall for beauty everywhere. 

Remember this scarf?

   On the previous post I promised you another display of the scarf that  embellished my head at the time, and here it is. I think it made the perfect top for my satin shorts! Worn together, they exude an air of luxury. The clutch is my beloved grandma's and you have seen it here before. The unique golden bangle, bought from a local peddler (fell instantly in love with it!), and the simple leather sandals, give the outfit this island breeze it had to have. Well, these, and the slightly sunkissed skin.
