Different Love Day

Different Love-Day

Hello everyone. Valentine's over and It is time to share some impressions. This is a quick post about how we spent Valentine's Day, It was great and refreshing. We decided to go shopping in Thessaloniki and spend the day walking through the city and updating our wardrobe :) Since we have a looong relationship, we have bought a lot of gifts and made many surprises, so It was a bit tricky to decide what to do. We wanted to visit Thessaloniki because we never went there together, and this seemed like a great solution. Here are few photos of the day...

We started off with a walk by the port in the centre and we grabbed coffee from our favorite coffee shop 'Starbucks'.

After that we went to the shopping mall 'Mediterranean Cosmos'. It is a great shopping mall with more than 200 retail units. They claim It is the largest retail and entertainment development in Southeastern Europe. 

The mall has wonderfull backyard where you can chill and relax, and we took our photos there.

For this day we didn't want to wear red because we are not fans of the usual and clitche things, so we decided that our main clothing piece is going to be a trenchcoat. We love It because you can pair it with pretty much everything and It adds a dash of style to your outfit.

Our day was awesome, we bought some interesting stuff and we spent the whole day together. We hope that you received many gifts and something more important - a lots of love.

Shop, Love, and be loved

xoxo

Ready to Celebrate Love??

Couples, are You Ready to Celebrate Love??

It's February, and that gives us one thought on our mind - Valentine's Day. Our perception of Valentine's is that It is just a day to give your love a bigger meaning, to remember why you love each other, what you like about one another... Actually we should do this more often, not only on this day, because that will help us build a healthy relationship with more understanding.

We have decided to do a post for Valentine's Day so that we give you ideas on how you can spend your day and list a few possible gift choices...

• Couples Mugs

These are very cute and could be a nice gift if you are in a fresh relationship or you would like to buy something on a lower budget. Similar thing are the recently popular glass jars and bottles if you feel like the couple mugs are a bit of cliche. 

You could find more mug ideas here

• Personalized Wooden Photo

This is our gift from few years ago, Its is interesting, unusual and unique. You could choose one of your favorite photos together and turn It into a wooden souvenir. 

• Books

For all the book lovers out there, you probably thought of this, but actually a book could be a nice gift even for those who are not bookworms. There are many great books with love content, for instance all titles from Nicholas Sparks are amazing. More titles here

• Personalized Pillows

This is very cute and also more intimate gift. But you don't have to share the same bed for this gift, for instance you could make pillows with your names and swap them with your partner so you could see their name every time you lay your head on your pillow ^_^ . Just like we did with ours below

You can find more ideas and designs here and here

• Pyjamas

Maybe one of our most favorite gifts. We looove pyjamas, and we believe they are a perfect gift because everyone needs pyjamas :) We were looking for these above by Women'secret, but sadly we couldn't find them so here are our pyjamas we got from Extreme Intimo. Both brands have very lovely designs.

You could look for matching pyjamas, they could be a perfect Valentine's gift.

• Bedding

Here is another idea with the theme of 'Sleeping' :) This is nice if you're living together, and along with the matching pyjamas you will feel like the coolest couple ever ;)

• Matching Tops

Another lovely gift are these matching tops. This is our gift from last year's Valentine. It is really nice If you have a pair, you will look like the perfect couple everyone loves. There are many other designs you could choose from (here).

• Photo shoot

A photo shoot seems like a great idea for Valentine's Day. You could do something interesting, something crazy, or romantic... Last year we did this photo with our matching tops for a 'Best Couple' competition, and we had so much fun shooting. Here you can find some ideas for an interesting photo shoot.

• Spa Getaway

You could use this day for something more relaxing and romantic. Go to a spa centre with you partner and enjoy the indoor pool, the jacuzzi, the sauna and  massage treatments. We had really nice experience at Bushi Resort & Spa, you couldn't go wrong If you choose this.

• Trip 

This suggestion is on a bit of a bigger budget. You can use Valentine's Day as an excuse to visit a certain city outside your country. For instance Paris. We went there and we fell in love with the city, It's so magical... Here are a few photos from our trip there, and we hope you will also visit the place of your dreams.

and here are a couple of photos from our last Valentine's Day

Hope you like this post and that you will find It useful and inspiring. If you still want something different and you would like other ideas, feel free to contact us via message on our Facebook page SelmAki we will try to be helpful so you can have the best Valentine's Day ever ;)

Love ya!!

This is How We Do It

"This Is How We Do It"

Yup, this is what we enjoy in winter time, besides watching movies, eating desserts, hiding under the blanket... we love skiing and snowboarding.

The snow has fallen and It is time to go up that mountain and hit the track. 

Our closest skiing centre is "Mavrovo" so last weekend we went for a short ride. The weather was not really nice, It was a bit foggy, but that didn't stop us from embracing the day and have fun.

              

This motor sleigh added a perfect feeling of adventure before we started skiing and snowboarding, great way to warm up the adrenaline :)

and then It is time to slide, We really like doing this together, It is a lot of fun.

After we feel a bit tired, there is a small bar where you can get warm, eat or drink something. 

And of course, nothings makes winter so beautiful like a nice fireplace.

"This is how we do It" in winter. Skiing and snowboarding are a great way to get your body moving and escape the town gloominess.

 Maybe you could share what is your favorite activity in winter with your loved ones...

Stay warm,

xoxo

Fresh Start Moment

Fresh Start Moment

Hey guys! Here is our first post in the New Year :) 

Just a quick round up before we head on with this post - you may have found out that we didn't win the 'Fossil Challenge' so again we would like to thank everyone for your support, you did your job well. That was a great experience for everyone and It really helped us grow in many ways.

If we go by the book, now is the time to say Happy New Year to everyone, hope you're having great time during the holidays, may this year bring you a lot of happiness and success and help you become the best version of yourselves.

Regarding our goals for the upcoming year, we would use the 'new year, new me' phrase in a different way. Recently we came across this phrase but with a slight change, we loved it and that will be our motivation in the future, It goes like this: 

"New year, same me - because I'm already freakin' fabulous" :D 

A lot of self-confidence here, but that is one of the key things for success. You always have to know your good sides and continue to use them, the only thing that should be OLD are your bad habits and not so nice words... Good Luck! 

Moving on to the fashion part of this post. 

We have decided to name this month 'Furry January' because we are really into fur lately. It is a great fashion trend, and it is widespread in the fashion world. Here is one of our outfits with some of our fashion favorites.

Fur jackets and coats are a big hit for the fashionistas, so ladies It is great if you get one for this season. While for the boys, a fur jacket or a coat might look a bit strange, so there are always other furry things you could implement in your wardrobe, such as fur collar or maybe gloves with fur.

Menswear is currently a big trend among the girls - men's shirt, boyfriend jeans, suit elements etc. therefore, girls feel free to borrow your man's bowtie and shine, and guys - you are always classy and handsome with your shirt & tie ;)

Stay Stylish!
