How To: The Messy Bun
For an effortless 30-second hairstyle, bring hair into a low ponytail, then fasten at the ends. Roll it up to the nape, and secure with a straight pin or bobby pins. For extra hold, prep hair with a sprinkle of Umberto Dry Clean Dry Shampoo before you style and secure with a Remington elastic.
I love dressing my son up as if he were a baby model. I mean, he’s still only 19 months and let’s me dress him (from what I hear, he will quickly develop his own tastes in clothes and then my choices will no longer be worn). In this pic he is rocking a messenger hat from Zara kids in Greece(since this pic was taken he tossed it in Central Park somewhere ) and an argyle sweater from Children’s Place. His chair is the Anywhere Chair from PB Kids. Def rocking the cuteness factor!!!

There are really few things as comforting as a glass of warm tea. One of my favorite brands of tea is the Krocus Kozani Greek Red Saffron teas. I discovered them while in Athens a few years ago with my husband. We were going to buy freshly ground Greek coffee and the shop was giving away samples of this delicious treat. They are made with Greek red saffron, which comes from the Kozani region of Greece is said to be one of the best variety of saffron in the world. Krocus Kozani teas are infused with other herbs, botanicals and flavorings and make for some tasty, unique combinations. There is the spice version, which is mixed with different fragrant spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice that reminds me of a good cup of chai. There is also a honey and lemon infused version, a sage version and even a rosemary version. My personal fave is rosemary, which is so surprisingly mild and delicious. These are teas that are tasty and definitely good for you, we all know the health values of black tea, spices, aromatics, herbs and of course saffron. They are also a great way to support the Greek economy, which let’s face it, needs all the help we can give it!!!
Totally loving these Gucci Ursula Leather Horsebit Ankle Strap Sandals. The cobalt color is so fabulous and perfect for spring. Pair with skinny ankle jeans or with a flowing skirt, they have the perfect amount of chicness of any look. They come in two heal lengths too- 4.5 and 3.5, which is great for me because at 5’10 wearing 4.5 inch heels can sometimes make me feel like an Amazon woman. They come in white (although I really don’t like white shoes)and black too, and a patent leather option.
