Especially this year that the color check prints are back!

Well, I do not know about you but 80% of my shopping now happens online!

It is so easy, you can find so many choices that would be impossible to search physically in an actual store. You can compare the prices and find the better offer. And also you can access stores and markets that go beyond the borders of your country.

And also since this market has grown so much the online offe such an amazing customer service!

You can receive items without shipping costs, you can return the items free of charge, you can see videos and photos of the items worn by models (like a virtual fitting room), reviews and photos from other customers!

Shopping has transformed in the best possible way!

There are many shops that I always gravitate to for quite some time now:

Asos.com

Well, I will start with my most favourite one that is also one of the most popular out there.

Based in the UK, Asos was founded in the year 2000 that makes it one of the oldest ones and most popular worldwide.

I have been shopping in Asos since 2011 and I always had a great shopping experience with them.

The items that they have are endless!

You can find clothes, accessories, cosmetics (amazing brands that you cannot find easy everywhere), shoes, homeware.....

They have their one line but they colaborate with so many popular brands that you cannot imagine: Bershka, Pull&Bear, Monki, &Other stories, some designer brands also like Ted Baker, DKNY, Hugo Boss.

You can find items for any occassion, for example a wedding or for sports and at any price point.

Their Sales are also amazing! 

They offer Free Delivery for orders over 30€ and they arrive in Greece in around a week! (If you are in a hurry with 20€ you can have them at your door the next day! A little bit expensive but imagine that that is how much it would cost you for a taxi ride to and from downtown Athens -actually the taxi ride might be more expensive!)

Totally recommend it!

Zara.com

We all shop in the physical stores but they are so cramped with customers every day of the week that make this alternative a paradise!

You can see all the new deliveries, you can search for a specific item that you need - in store this is so difficult to happen or to see all the similar options for something that you search for.

Need to see only leather shoes - only four clicks away!

Also there is the Special Price section that you can see all items that are discounted within the season. And you can always find great items here!

Missguided.com

Another British online site with affordable items. 

You can find here all the latest trends at a much cheaper price.

They also have great collaborations with the most famous influencers and with famous brands like MissguidedxBarbie!

You will find very good prices and very good Sales!

Aliexpress.com

This is the online platform for all Chinese shops' online sites.

They offer also wholesale in their mother site Alibaba.com (one of the most successful businesses in China) and Aliexpress is the site for the retail purchases.

In here you can see all the items that you can find in Ebay.com that are sent from China but in better prices since the Ebay shops have intermediate sellers, that also make a profit, and in Aliexpress you have the producers' shops. 

The items' quality was the main issue since they have the "Made in China" stigma but they have improved so much during the years. My first purchased here was 8 years ago, almost at the beginning of the site, so I have witnessed their evolution in quality and customer service over the years. 

The most important factor that you need to keep in mind in order to have a good shopping experience in this site is the customers' comments and item photos.

Search for best seller items with a lot of purchases and a good rating. And also customers reviews with photos of the items that they received. And you can proceed to purchase!

Items arrive within a month usually with a tracking number through the Post Office -that is dependable- and mostly with free delivery costs. There are choices for a faster delivery through courier services but I do not recommend them since they are the ones that are mostly checked by customs since the additional delivery costs are added in the customs 25€ limit. Customs may interfere with orders since they arrive from a country outside EU (for orders above the limit). 

For the 8 years that I shop from here I have never had a customs issue with an order but I mostly buy cheap items (accessories, clothes) always with the basic shipping choice. If I need more items I try to seperate orders in smaller amounts. For more expensive items you can ask from the seller to declare it as a gift (they usually do it on their own but a reminder is better than face the customs procedure later) or to declare a lower price - within reason because of course customs can spot these tricks. 

(You can find in older blog posts of my Online Shopping hauls items that I purchased from Aliexpess and they were amazing!)

Happy shopping then!

The weather in getting colder and colder so we more and more stay in and binge on shows and movies.

If you have Netflix and you would like to see something that will keep you occupied more than an hour and a half these are my most favourite shows to watch!

They are the more fun ones that can easily be missed in the long Netflix lists!

The Good Place

A show that is so fun to watch. Currently in its third season this show was so unexpectedly good!

What happens in the after life?! Well for every single deed we do in this life there is a counter that gives a final result when we die! And with that final score we end up in the Good Place or the Bad Place! This is the story of the Good Place. With a lot of humor and frozen yogurt!

Girlboss

Sophia Amoruso, founder of Nasty Gal - a huge very succesfull online shop- tells her story on how she started from the bottom and really made it to the top! Very inspiring and is a true GirlBoss. 

(Well, not now now since she went bankrupt somewhere along the way. Probably it is true what they say: When you reach the top, then the only way is down.)

Stay Here

AirBnB is a huge platform for short term rent of property all over the world. 

And this show help people, that want to start or are already renting, make the most of their property and have a great montly income. They redecorate, give advice and become mentors for these new businessmen. Loved it and it mentally traveled me in so many places!

Zumbo's Just Desserts

Andrian Zumbo is the most successful pastry chef of Austalia. See this show and you will see why!

A cake that can float? Yes, he can do it! With a lot of sugar and a little bit of magic.

This show is a competition among some very talented pastry chefs  that will inspire you so much to go in the kitchen and start baking! Amazing desserts in every single episode!

Sugar Rush

Similar to Just Desserts but focused on cakes. Another very sweet competition!

You will see some of the most amazing cake decoration skills that you cannot even imagine!

Have some cake in the fridge before watching! You will need it!

Million Pound Menu

For some people the dream of a lifetime is to own their own restaurant. 

In this cooking challenge this dream comes true but for only 3 days. Can they step up to the task and find funding to make their dream a reality? Well you will see some very talented amateur and professional chefs make it or break it!

Hope you will enjoy these titles!
Have some to recommend?

Please do in the comments!!!

Nafplio, Peloponnese, Greece

The old town is amazing to wonder with great choices for coffee and food.

The Palamidi castle is glorious on the top of the hill -you can climb the 999 steps to the tops (totally worth it if it is not a very hot day- and also a walk around Arvanitia is full of amazing scenery and views of the sea.

Don't forget to visit the sleeping lion statue sculpted on a hill in the other side of town.

Since in Nafplio you will go everywhere on foot pack mostly flat shoes and comfortable clothes!

1. Logo sweater

2. High waisted denim

3. Red mini backpack

4. Khaki top

5. Beige high waisted denim
