introductions

world, this is chita maimo. chita for friends.

you'll be seeing her a lot from now on

a cup of utrecht!

yes... yes... long time, no see... i know... let's skip that...


I am super glad to present you the new place that I call home! utrecht!

kataifi came up with a great idea and has launched a new amazing blog called "a cup of travel". A travel-girl's dedication to all those who share the same passion!

you can see my correspondence from (the still wintry) utrecht here!
(sorry... only in greek...)

aufrais

i have been following angelica's (aufrais) work since last year, and her pictures really warmed my heart from the very first moment. she's providing me with all the greek vibes (and not only) that i need through her blog.
so, i was more than excited when she sent me as a gift a set of her postcards! as our apartment here in utrecht is lacking in personal "touch" on the walls, aufrais' photographs came as the pops of colour, coziness and inspiration that our little bedroom needed. and you cannot imagine how great this wall looks with sun!
i am trying not to make many holes on the wall, thus i decided to hang the little frames with fishing lines from two already existing nails. i really like how they seem to be floating in the air.

you can find her personal work here and here, shop her photography here and her handmade soaps here.

thank you angelica! 

this is not an outfit post

hello utrecht, hello autumn, hello short hair!

nederlandse zomerdagen

nederlandse zomerdagen... they begin with wet roses and the cat on our bench and end with a glass of bitterlemon...

bed hair

i have spend the last two weeks in the bedroom, on the bed, with a bunch of flowers, books, papers and markers, using the window sill as a desk... yes... i'm writing my thesis... the weather is nothing like summer, but I guess i shouldn't complain... there are no reasons for procrastinating... except for some furballs... i'll show you later...

from garden to garden

from the Dom's garden to a small secret botanic garden and then to our inside garden with some stops for lunch, interesting shadows and awesome cycling outfit

today is the second day after my birthday

no, not my birthday. today is two days after aris' birthday. blowing candles in the kitchen next to a pot with lentils, opening one present after another and throwing papers on the floor! that's what we call a party! I wish you grow up like the highest mountains!

neighborhood

sunny dutch vibes + arcade fire = spring
