When in LA : Universal Studios

A few months ago I travelled with my sis to Los Angeles from Greece. We were visiting our beloved cousin and stayed there 2 and a half weeks. For me it was the perfect trip, although it was my second time in La La Land. We had a great time and did tons of stuff, I' ll probably write a post about the trip soon.

Today, I just wanna share with you guys one of our craziest days, the one we visited Universal Studios in Hollywood. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We took the studio tour, all rides (my fave was by far the Simpsons ride), watched some shows (Shrek included) and embraced our fears at House of Horrors (OMG you can't even imagine how scary it was). We stayed there from 11am to 6pm and had the time of our lives. The highlight was the food; I got to try a cinnamon roll at Cinnabon and I looooved it! Anyway, enjoy some photos and visit asap!

*I was wearing:

Banana Republic pink sweater

BDG plaid shirt

Leather jacket (birthday present from my mother)

Levi's skinny jeans

Ugg boots in sand

Rayban sunnies in blue

I hope you enjoyed the photos! My advice? Buy the "Front of Line" pass, at least that was what we did and we managed to take all rides several times. I mean the place is overcrowded. Have you ever been there? What's your favorite ride or highlight?

My hot Manicure

Hey guys! I am so excited to show you my brand new mani. I really like it, cause it screams for summer and fun! I have to say, I was totally inspired by Hanna Marin (aka Ashley Benson) as she is the ultimate 'it girl' on my favorite summer TV show "Pretty Little Liars". She surely knows how to rock every nail trend. Enjoy some of my favorite Hanna nail trends on screen!

My nails (Pink nail polish : China Glaze "Rich & Famous", Yellow : Seventeen 259)

Hanna's mani: My inspiration (Ep 2x08 Picture This)

The next trend I am going to try (Black and Red)

So, what do you guys think about her and her nails? And more importantly what do you think about my manicure? Love it or hate it? Let me know!

When in LA : Coffee Bean

As you probably already know, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is one of celebrities' favorite coffee shops. Most of them visit their local Coffee Bean daily to grab their coffee, tee or beverage while paparazzi are always there. I love these photos, because they are so candid and celebs are dressed casually and usually by themselves. I think it's our chance to see how they really look like in their life without the makeup and all this stuff.

Beach Style

One of my favorite things about summer is that we (all Greek people) get the chance to hit the beaches quite often, every other weekend at least. I've talked before about the swimwear trends (click here) as well as the ultimate trend; one piece swimsuits (click here). So there's only one question left to answer. What are we all going to wear when hitting the beach. I actually prefer rompers (i love the velour ones), kaftans and dresses but i often wear just shorts with tank tops. My inspiration comes always from my favorite celebrities. Just take a look at what they chose to wear for a day in the sun!
