The Whites and Blues

Sunsets, parties and the blue domes. Mykonos is a dreamy island. From daytime beach parties to evening breezes, there is something for all ages and interests. The cobble stone streets and white buildings add a beautiful touch to the nature of Mykonos and makes everything seem brighter!
I was there with family which was unfortunate as there were many youngsters and party opportunities which I had to miss due to obvious reasons! 

Seafood, which isn't one of my most favourable dishes was incredibly popular and despite the fact that it is a touristic hotspot, prices were not too extremely high. I stuck to eating risotto one night, lasagne the other and completed my week with five other Italian favourites - in Greece. Nice. 
My favourite time of day in Mykonos was the nighttime.  It felt as though this pretty little island came alive at night and everything looked extra special from sunset onwards.  It was almost the only thing I looked forward to after waking up and going to the beach to spend my whole day soaking up the rays.  Bliss.
It was easy identifying certain boutiques and stalls, nonetheless, getting to them was a big problem as we could never find our way out of the maze - like streets, which all happen to look the same.  The warm hearted and friendly locals of Mykonos never held back in telling me how inappropriate my platform wedges were for the cobble stone streets which I felt was incredibly sweet and purely out of spite.
There were various white and red buildings which had the door wide open and looked like a place of prayer.  After researching this, we found out that certain families in Mykonos have their own Church which they are responsible for all things in from maintenance to simply being a touristic attraction.





My selfie stick came in extremely handy on this trip, as it does on every trip, and I highly recommend it to those who are still, to this day being influenced by judgmental, ignorant and boring people who cannot understand them.  If it was not for my selfie stick, this photo would not have been so detailed and included everything I wanted it to.
The Italian Gelato (ice cream) cafe's were another fantastic factor of popularity for Mykonos as it gave that summer in the mediterranean feel with a hint of Italy and the traditional Greek coffee; which is a lot more bitter and ground compared to other coffee.

The Power of Rejection

When was the last time you did something without wondering 'what if?', or worrying about the outcome? Now I find this to be a bit of a problem in our society, and want to get to the bottom of it. I say it's a problem, because I see that a lot of people of all ages, holding back in doing what could change a lot in their lives and decisions.  I sometimes feel like rejection or being turned away in whatever I do is such an obstacle that I need to express the negative effect this may have on the lives of so many of us. In order to overcome this obstacle, the first question I ask myself is 'so what?'. This is key, because when you start answering your own questions, it's a lot simpler to picture why 'rejection' or an answer which isn't that of your expectations isn't actually an obstacle.  Stating facts or presenting opinions where due is a part of our nature, and the human race is one of the most confusing among all. The point is, you are ne...

Christmas in Amsterdam

Hey everybody!  For the very first time, I decided that a getaway for Christmas would be a fabulous idea because apparently I didn't have enough excuses to travel, anyway!  It didn't take me too long to decide that I wanted to go to Amsterdam as I had never been before ( considering its a 45 minute plane journey - a lot shorter than it takes a lot of us to commute from one end of London to the other! ) I found Amsterdam to be very pretty.  Very calm.  No hustle and bustle and very picturesque - so perfect for those who are passionate about photography!  I did a lot of walking around, exploring; going down one street and ending up in a completely different neighbourhood because I don't like planning and if you're a spontaneous one too, Amsterdam may be the place for you! There are a lot of cute little buildings, great history and so much art to take in, in this adorable city!  There is a lot more to it than the name and what it is actually known for....

Ripped, Torn or Never Worn?

Sometimes I find it extremely difficult to understand the basic factor of fashion.  Why do we choose to wear certain things?  Do we choose to wear them or is it what we read in the latest edition of Vogue magazine that pushes us to think that we like the look of a particular product?  When I first saw the knee ripped jeans, I'll be honest, I did think of jumping onto the bandwagon.  After all, I do like to associate myself with the trendiest and most popular items on the market; however, one thing which I don't associate myself with is going against a belief - and being an individual who needs a reason for most of her actions - including items of clothing and accessories I choose to put on; I needed to somehow justify my moment of delusion in potentially purchasing a pair. As I looked at photos online and approximately four girls in five, walking down the busy Oxford Street, there was something tickling my mind waiting to be noticed.  So I recognised what...
