seek refuge in the mountains

  When temperatures begin to soar seek refuge in the mountains. Seriously! It was the kind of weather where you kinda need a cardigan but bearing your shoulders is just as much an option whereas in the city you just wanted to shoot yourself. Kakopetria, the village we chose to spend our Sunday, relaxes me. The absolutely amazing food at the Ais Giorkis tavern is unbeatable and so are the loukoumades (honey balls) served at a cute outdoor cafe with a playground! Needless to say, it took four people to keep up with the little dude after he had three honey balls! The drive to the village is also totally worth it especially if you’re accompanying over ten different colored vintage Minis. A day well-spent. x

market love

This afternoon we showed our support for my gorgeous friend Z, who organized a street market in the old town of Nicosia. Old furniture, albums, books, trinkets and clothes were on parade in a small alleyway where music was blaring and the mojitos were on fire! I could’ve spent at least a couple of hours browsing the stalls but alas motherhood was calling so we said hello to friends we haven’t seen in AGES, took a few pics and headed to the nearest cafe for homemade lemonade and supper for Georgie.Note the Snoopy tie!yes please! to those camel colored flats.I can’t even begin to tell you how sad I am that bag is not in my closet!Really looking forward to more market love. xxx

it’s playtime!

The weather is finally warming up which means i get to enjoy my little dude at the park. It’s a shame there aren’t as many here in Cyprus or Nicosia as there are in other European countries but the one we found today was just perfect. i grabbed a couple of sandwiches- egg and mayo and tuna and mayo- from Get Fresh along with freshly squeezed orange juice and headed out for a nice day among the trees and the dirt, which Georgie was particularly fond of. Seriously! He didn’t even look at the slides and swings for the first 15 minutes. All he wanted to do was roll around in the dirt and eat stones.
