New blog in town!

Hi guys! Long time, no see... Non?

I'm terribly missing all the blogsphere action out there and all the unique and quirky bloggers I have met.
So, it's about time I gave you the good news:

New blog coming up - Stay tuned!

Kisses,
Dimi

Color-blocking necklace

 Good morning everyone!! How are you today darlings? I've had a couple of weird days lately... I'll explain! 

 But first let's talk about fashion, right? We all know by now how hot is the new trend of color-blocking for the summer! I'm a big fan of bright colors and a bigger fan of incorporating fashion in everyday style! So I love the new trend but can't really see me in bright fuchsia pants! And since many bloggers post their version of color-blocking, here's mine:

 I made this necklace with new and recycled beads (wood, acrylic, felt, glass) and a vintage looking silver chain. In my opinion (and you all know I'm objective, right? hihi) the necklace is a "statement" piece of jewellery and expresses color-blocking pretty accurately! Plus it could be combined with way too many trendy outfits: I wore it with a very long, white vintage dress (you'll see some pics of that soon) and you could wear it with jeans and a top, a plain skirt or whatever! 

Quiz of the day! - Who is the mysterious blogger who has killer legs and recently sent me the trendy color-blocking scented Fashionista candle? Can you tell?? Can you? If you think you can, leave your comment. The correct answer wins a little something made with love by crazy Dimi!! Leave your answer within 24 hours! If more than one wins, you'll all get your something something- and don't cheat!!

The reasons for doing this are:

a) Dimi is happy when she gets gifts!

b) Dimi wants to share the love and magic that you only get out of goodness!

c) After two weird days, Dimi realized that she is ready to launch her business - making unique jewellery with love and sharing them till the world is full of goodies (....and goodness. And love. And magic. And some more goodness....).

 I've tried and failed and tried more and I think I am now ready to take up orders and make cute stuff for YOU! So, anybody out there who would like any of the jewellery already posted in the blog, you can now get it (if not sold, because I only make each piece ONCE and only ONCE) or you could buy your own custom jewellery! For orders and info you can use my email (new button on the right side of the blog). Wish me luck darlings!

Kisses

Random earrings (sold, so not for order btw)

p.s. - If you expected I'd tell you about my two weird days in this post... you don't really know me!

Hihihi (evil laugh)! You'll have to come back next time, I'm afraid!

Quickie outfit and some earrings

 Hi friends! Thanks for all your nice comments about my hand getting better (tendinitis) and the positive feedback my jewellery is getting! It gives me a lot of hope!! 

 Here's the outfit I wore a couple of nights ago, to go to the Nafplio Rock Festival. It's a small music event where local bands gather once a year and perform live by the sea! So I wore a comfortable, wide skirt, which allowed to move freely and just lay on the sand!!

 The skirt theme is pink flowers, so I made those earrings to match!! And here's an ugly pic from the concert - I broke my camera on top of everything - so more ugly pics will follow for sure! 

 See you next time!

Sea inspired necklace and a glimpse of Paris!

 Hey everybody! My hand still hurts a lot, so I'm trying to restrict to minimal typing! I won't be commenting a lot either during this week... but I am still reading your lovely posts!  Here's a new style necklace, very suitable for summer outfits! And some pieces of wood I picked by the beach in Poulithra, to use in something and recycle! 

And since everybody loves Paris so much, here are the first pics!
Enjoy them and stay in love!

New jewellery with a vintage twist!

Hi everybody! How are you??

 Today I'm feeling very laconic. To make this quick - sad news of the day: it's a critical day today for my country. Let's hope for the best. Sad personal news of the day: my right hand hurts a lot - I mean a lot - and I probably have tendinitis. Here's another reason for being laconic. Good news of the day : I've made some cool jewellery while experimenting with chain, lace and some beads! Enjoy them (along with some pic. editing experiments!). Kisses to all! 

 

P.S. - The lovely Eiffel Tower miniatures and box (originally filled with delicious butter candies) are the gifts my brother and his girlfriend brought us from a trip to Paris last week! You guessed it - I have 600 unedited photos of Paris and I intend to show them all to you!! Be brave!

Some new creations!!

 Hi everybody! How are you? I hope you're all enjoying a lovely weekend!! I've been making some new jewellery during the week and I wanted to share! My goal was to create some simple designs, yet fashionable and unique. I was pretty pleased with the result!! Here are some of them:

Funky earrings and bracelets!

New versatile tassel bangles!

Elegant red bracelet and earrings

Romantic glass bead necklaces....

...and earrings.

And a unisex key-chain!

 I hope you like them! I'm sorry for the terrible pic quality - I'm afraid that's the best I can do with an 8 mp camera and my skills...

 I'm very nervous about the giveaway winners!! I'm nervous enough to mix the days and think that today is Sunday! So I woke up, had my coffee, did a little blog reading and was about to announce the winners!!! Then it hit me that it still is Saturday and we all have to wait one more day! The giveaway is over, so no more entries please, but please come back tomorrow to check if it's you who won!! Kisses darlings!!

New stuff I've made

Hi everybody! How are ya?

  I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend and you're ready to face the new week! (...I know that was yesterday, silly... but it's more dramatic to say those things on a Tuesday!)

 I have many reasons to nag for this week, but I'll limit myself and just say this: I want the lovely, famous, sunny greek weather back! It's soon June and the weather is absolutely confused and acts like it's November!!! It's cloudy, windy, rainy... you name it! It's everything else rather than sunny and swimming appropriate as it was supposed to be!! 

 Since I just lost a job... weather conditions are crucial for my mental stability right now - and I need some SUN!!!

  Enough with the nagging! I'll just stop now and show you nice pics of cute jewellery I've made! The first ones are inspired by the one I made for Stavroula a while ago (check it out here), so they're made at a smaller size - for young girls or really thin older girls who feel young! 

 I've been postponing blogging because I can't take any decent pictures in this weather, but since we're not getting any sun this week - that's the best I can do I'm afraid!!

 ...And these are made for older funky girls!

 

 

 

Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think!!

Kisses!!

The Grande Finale!

 Ok... not so "Grande" since this outfit is actually very casual and I wore it for shopping! But it is a "Finale" anyway, so in this blog we're celebrating!! 

 I don't blame you for not remembering what it is that we're celebrating, since it all started with this post, which was more than two months ago (in blog-time it's like a century....)!! Even I wasn't sure that I finished and I had to double-check the outfit posts! So I did and it is official:

I finished my remix!!

Outfit:

Skirt - My favourite (see this post)

Top - Calzedonia
Jacket - Ysatis

Belt - Asos

Shoes - every day flats from local store (10 euro)

Bag - Hunter

Bracelet - "Cherry pop" handmade by me (new)
Glasses - Dolce & Gabbana

Never mind that I did it with only 1,5 months of delay, I did it anyway! I don't have a job to get dressed for every day, so practically I didn't break any rules! I'm really proud and relieved: I can wear the rest of my clothes!!

Like my new bracelet? It's got cherries on!

 To make it an extra happy day, I got lucky in Louana's giveaway (for the first time ever!! I never just "win" things!). So I'm getting a gift on top of that, a lovely Moose pdf design by Lou, which is soooo adorable! I will definitely give it a try!! Check out Lou's goodies and my lovely gift here!

Thank you dear Louana!

 It's Easter tomorrow in Greece, so it's celebration time with relatives and loved ones and a looot of greek food! I won't be posting for a week as I'm in serious need of some VACATION! My boy is off work for the next week and we have plans to have a lot of good times together!! 

 It's also a stressful period for me because I'm waiting to know whether I'll get a job this year or not. (see this post for details). This is directly involved to my income and you can obviously understand why I'm kind of edgy this time of the year... Oh well... cross your fingers for me! 

 Lot's and lot's of Spring wishes for a Happy Easter everyone!! Enjoy yourselves!

See you soon...xxx

Happy girl necklace!!

 Just a quickie post, to show off what I made today! A "Flower Power Girl" necklace and bracelet as a gift for a little girl!

 The little girl, Stavroula, is my brother's godchild, age 11. I made it extra happy and I'm pleased with the outcome! I think she'll like them!! 

 

 I added one of the "Flower Power Girl" rings (seen here) in a cute pink bag to complete the set! Tell me what you think please!! See you all next time!  

Playing with textures!

 Welcome to my headless post! 

Let's just focus on the outfit today...! Shall we? Hmmm....

 Still proud of remixing (on my own), here is my outfit from last night at the movies! Puzzled of why the sun is so bright? Well, I absolutely hate taking pics with a flash, so I had to reconstruct the outfit this morning! 

 Notice the word morning here - like early morning without coffee first - and you can understand why my facial expressions just refused to co-operate, thus leaving me with head-less post pics.... And I am mean I tell ya, I decapitated all of them!

 Back to the outfit, the weather is springy, but crazy: changing from wind, to sun, to clouds, to wind again! So why not mix seasons in my outfit too? Here I present a spring top  mixed with summer sandals, skirt and belt; and a winter bag and scarf! You call me "crazy homeless headless lady" - I call me "innovative and fashion advanced"!!Ha.

 

 Fancy my air-crane pin? It's a company pin and I add it on bags and jackets, because I love that crane! 

  And you can also see my new  fashionable "bird-nest ring", out of real pearls and wire! On second thought, after 3 hours of bending wire it was kind of stupid to combine real pearls that cost 60 euro with 0,5 cents worth of wire... But I'll play the artist card and stick to it!!

 By the way the movie we saw was "The Rite". Not the best movie ever, but kind of fun to watch, just for the sake of the talented sir Anthony!

Skirt - Sprider stores

Grey Top - Asos maternity
