So funny!

Well, something is seriously wrong with me.... :)
I live in an online shopping frenzy for the past 2 months!!
I cannot resist!! The prices, the variety, the possibilities, the offers!
So, this is the main topic that I constantly want to discuss and I am hooked every night to these sites searching the best deals! A haul is the only thing that I wanna do right now!
During May was the first wave of online shopping frenzy and the items purchased then arrived the past two weeks. The normal time for items from abroad. I wanna make a blog post so much with my May purchases, but I must find the time since I have everything in my hands (except my swimsuit that I am still expecting..) and I wanna take photos of my own of them. And I will during this week!
But for now I have prepared a haul with the June purchased items that I am still expecting!
And the most impressive is that the total of these items is around 100$ (a little bit under - wow!)!!
And the most impressive is that the total of these items is around 100$ (a little bit under - wow!)!!
- Sheinside.com
The first two items are from Sheinside. This is my third order from this site.
I experienced a problem with my second delivery from them and I was sceptical if I should proceed with a third one but I saw some improvements in their site that pursued me to buy again.
First of all, they label the clothes as "Ships within 24 hours" which means that these items are in stock and I know that I will not have to wait two months (at least) for my item to arrive - like last time that was a nightmare for the waiting of the out of stock items purchased that were not easily spotted and their listings were able to be purchased and paid.
**Avoid avoid avoid items from this site that are not marked as "Ships within 24 hours".
Second of all, the prices are reasonably reduced since the last time and they are more realistic (close to the prices that similar or same items have on ebay).
Third, free worldwide shipping is a must (over 30$ that is also reasonable).
And lastly the quality of the items from this site is never dissapointing.
It is a site with great value for money items.

| Photo from ebay seller qwb9876533 |
I promised..... I really really promised that I will not buy a swimsuit this year...
I have so many already, a lot of them never even worn to the beach, I will not be on vacation for many days this year ( a lot of obligations to handle during this summer to able to be away from home for long) so I was absolutely certain that my promise will be kept.
And during my boring nights at home surfing on ebay I spotted this listing.
And I completely/ totally fell in love with this item. (Mint neoprene bikini)
I knew that it reminded me of something I had seen before but I could not tell what.
And I remembered that it looked like the bikinis that all bloggers wore last year from Triangl swimwear (this Australian swimwear and underwear brand bombarded with deliveries to bloggers all over the world - and with that I realized how influentiantial all these girls are and how big this whole blogging thing has become).
With second thoughts not stopping me, it was added to my basket and paid in a flash!
Yes yes, this purchase was completely impulsive and not researched thoroughly as I always do with Chinese orders - sorry China but ebay is the only place that brings out the racist in me.
(The value for money struggle for items from Chinese market.)
And I am so sorry that I am sometimes right...
I realized that the photos are too good to be true because these are the actual photos from Triangl swimwear 2014 lookbook..... Steal!!!!
They looked so ebay - realistic. (That the seller took them to show the quality and details up close.)
OK,I am already disappointed about this purchase and I am ahead of myself and I hope hope hope that I am overreacting!!!!
The item was sent yesterday by the seller and probably it will take 3-4 weeks to arrive.
I have double/triple crossed my fingers to receive an item similar to this pic!!
And the sizing chart to be as accurate as possible!
Two things too much to ask???
p.s. This post will be followed up by actual pics as soon as this bikini arrives!!
Actual photos of this item need to be out there!
p.s.2. If my cross finger power will work (Please be a 10-12 uk size mint bikini of tolerable quality !!!!!! ------ super hope!) it would be an amazing bargain since the Triangl item retails for 65€ when this dupe is at 15€ on ebay!

***Update::: Check also the following blogpost link
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*****Update 2:::: The item arrived!!
And you can see it in the picture below!
The color is not mint (like the picture) but blue (very disapponting description).
The fabric is not neoprene but lycra.
The sizing is a bit off but it fits me - more or less.
(I bought the Medium and the top is big and the bottom is a little small.
I am a B cup and this top fits a full C cup.
And my hips are 95cm and this is a little tight.)
But I do like the item and even though there are some small issues I will wear it.
It is cute and I like the design!
Hope this photo helps!

The new H&M designer collaboration for Fall was announced today!
It's Alexander Wang!!
This is definitely a perfect match!
I am sure that H&M's Trend line was influenced a lot from his designs.
So, now both of them together will make perfection!

Yeah!!! The veil beanie from Sammydress along with my new pink coat arrived yesterday.
The beanie is amazing and sooo soft! Way better than I expected.
I ordered two more colors (damn...).
The coat is smaller than the european sizes but it was expected.
It looks nice eventhough.

I have recently discovered this online shopping destination and I started to looove it so much!
(3 orders in one month is something!!)
Imagine an e-shop that has gathered all the best items from ebay in clothes, shoes and jewerly. And you can find them easy in one click. This is what sammydress is! And it is so convienient. Ok, ebay is amazing, you can go through pages of search results for hours. But there are so many times that you just spend time watching things you are not interesing in if you are looking for something very specific. That is why you will appreciate sammydress!
It is a Hong Kong based company. [I have heard that Hong Kong's post office is quite amazing which was an additional plus to buy (very fast international shipping) but with my first purchase that was not the case. My package arrived in Greece exactly one month after the order. The same as China post. :/].
The items for sale are mostly clothes and shoes both women and men. And the prices are so affordable!
On the down side the shipping costs are quite high. (They double the item's price sometimes). They are lower for more items, so a solution can be to combine orders with a friend and share the shipping costs.
The variety of the items is huge! And you can find the latest fashion trends!
Only watch out for the sizes. The shoe sizes are normal but sometimes in ladies shoes the biggest size is 39 (What???) instead of 41 that we have in Europe. So my size 40 is harder to find.....
And in clothes the sizes are small. (Damn these small Asian girls!) But you can always find the items dimentions to check better the item's size. (I will never come to terms with the fact that I am an L/XL there.......)
Below you can see the first item that arrived yesterday from my first order.
A Zanotti sneaker dupe that I was searching for so much, I finally found it there!! And I could not resist in ordering them also in blue!
And there are more to come (these are on their way!!) ::

I love shopping! Who doesn't, right? Going to a mall or downtown, to search inside a shop a great deal and find a great item to bring home with me... Ahhh!!!
But lately something has changed.... I get pretty easily bored doing this. I don't find as many interesting items as I used to in stores. I don't like having people around pushing me and getting in front of me. I don't like that I must always keep my mind for my bag in order not to get stolen... And everyhing feels more expensive!
I recently concluded on why all of these things started to bother me much more than before.
Because online shopping started to be much more important and interesting for me than it used to be. It is getting as much fun as the actual thing...!!
And the reasons are the following online shops that have become my favourite shopping destinations. The options are endless and the service that they provide is so complete that I can find anything that I need and want!

I have never posted a recipe in my blog so far. Although I love cooking, I do not have the time with the job and the school and... life to do it. But this is a recipe that needs to be out there.
It's a traditional Greek recipe for a teaspoon sweet with a twist.
We have grown up here with fruits in a spoon sweets (that is the exact translation of these category of sweets in Greece). And because they were so common and you could find them everywhere - all grandmothers had at least 4 different homemade flavours of them in their kitchen - I snobbed them. But now that grandmothers are not around anymore and they are not so common anymore something happens everytime I find one.
They are simple to make (well most of them - because some fruits need special preparation to stay crunchy after their cooking in syrup), extra delicious and quite healthy - they only have sugar .
(*Yes,I wanna live in a world that sugar is healthy!)
Recently I have tasted in a restaurant a sweet based on this idea but not with a fruit but with carrots!!
And it was completely and uterly delicious! It blew my mind!
Combined with yogurt the result was almost divine - I love sweet and sour tastes.
Below you can find the recipe that I will absolutely try :: as soon as I find the time ://
Ingredients:
1kgr carrots washed,cleaned and shredded
1kgr white granulated sugar
1lt water
2 teaspoons vanilla powder
15 pieces of cloves
1 lemon (the juice of it)
Preparation:
1. In a large saucepan put water to cover half of the pan and as soon as the water starts boiling we add the shredded carrot inside. We leave it to cook for 12 minutes and then we drain the water.
2. We put in a different saucepan the 1lt of water, the sugar, vanilla, cloves and we constantly stiring it with a wooden spoon. After 25 minutes we also add the lemon juice and 10 minutes after that we add also the carrots. We leave it with all the ingredients to cook for about 10 minutes more and maybe a little bit longer. We observe the consistency of the syrup to understand when it will be ready.
3. To check if the sweet is ready we check the syrup. We remove the spoon that we are stirring the sweet with and we drop a small drop of syrup on a plate. The drop must stay round and firm. It must not loose its form. If the result is watery we continue the boiling of the ingredients for some minutes more and we repeat the check.
4. We store the sweet in airtght jars.
5. Once it is cool you can serve it on any amount of greek yogurt that you prefer.
This is what you can find - ready to go - in any traditional Greek culinary store.
If you ever come in Greece choose your favourite fruit and enjoy!
My favourites : bitter orange, quince, pumpkin - yeap all the strange ones / I needed google translate to find the name of the first two in English (wOw)!
