Greece Photo Diary {part 3}

Happy back to school Tuesday!

Such an exciting time of year, the roads this morning were a little more packed with cars and crossroads filled with kids dressed in their fall best ready to start a fresh year! Its been about 4 years since I had the "back to school" feeling, while I definitely don't miss the homework I do miss fresh paper, new notebooks, organized binders and brand new sets of pencils/pens/erasers...maybe I will take a stroll to Staples next week when the madness has calmed down or the little sis will let me organize her a bit for school.

I digress...here is part three of my Greece photo diary...I heard this morning on the radio it takes 2 weeks for the "vacation" feeling to wear off...I am on my third week back and I am holding on for dear life to that feeling...not going to let it go and will wear my sandals till the first snow fall...or at least try ;)

Hope you all have an amazing week! Enjoy! xo

Greece Photo Diary {part 2}

one of the many huge meals we ate...!

Happy Monday (of the long weekend) Everyone!

Hope you are all enjoying the day off, I know I am! This past weekend was surprisingly productive (don't you love it when that happens?) got all caught up on editing, spent time with friends, got my room ready for painting next weekend (room reno...all systems GO). All in all I'm feeling good and inspired...I just love September!

Here is part deux of my trip to Greece! I really miss all the incredible food, each meal was better than the next...that dip beside my red wine is called tirokafteri the boyfriend got me addicted to it while we were there..this is how you make it I can't wait to give it a try although just like the frappes I doubt it will taste nearly as good!  Hope you all enjoy it! xo

Greece Photo Diary {part 1}

had to include one photo of the beach, oh how I've been missing it... (this photo was taken in halkidiki)

Happy 1st of September! (I made it with 8 min to spare)

Even though Fall is officially on it's way I am holding onto every last bit of summer while I still can.  That being said...I LOVE September.  It is my favorite month (and not just because my birthday is on the 14th).  Fall fashion, the cool weather, it's a time for new beginnings! As I've said many times before September is my January...time to set those goals for the year!

Moving on, I am very excited to finally share with you all the first set of photos from my trip to Greece.  I took some time today to back up all my photos (yes, I am one of those paranoid anal people who feel overnight her computer will mysteriously erase all my lifes work...) and realized the grand total was a whoping 24GB!! Lots of sifting to still do :)

Hope you all have an ah-mazing month!

Enjoy! xo

Trouville Photo Diary

Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a good weekend. I have been fighting the throat cold flu all weekend. Yesterday I did my due-diligence and drank tea all day, soup for lunch and double up'd on the Vit C. Some news! Next week (July 27th) annawithlove turns ONE! I'm excited to throwing a little party this weekend for a few close friends. Keep checking back, I feel a giveaway coming along soon!

Above are a collection of photos from Trouville, France. I realized I had a bunch of photos I never shared with you all...I cannot wait until next month to be back on a beach with the waves hitting my feet!

and FINALLY Harry Potter did NOT disappoint, I cried...I laughed...then I cried a whole bunch more. It was lovely.

Have an amazing day all, enjoy! xo

Beach Day!

Hump day! How's everyone doing?

I woke up this morning with a huge urge for summer. I miss flip flops, the sun, the heat, cute dresses...the list continues. I still have a bunch of photos from Greece these are from a beach in Tripoli. I stayed with my best friends family who were the most kind and hospitable people I've never met. We had so much fun having lazy days buy the beach, drinking cold drinks and laughing to our hearts content. Le sigh...fingers crossed I can get back to Greece this summer!

What are your summer plans?

Enjoy! xo
