In the ancient village of Urgup, there is a unique hotel carved into a mountain cliff, the Yunak Evleri. This hotel includes six cave houses, 30 rooms dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries and a 19th century Greek Mansion. Yunak Evleri is an inspiring hotel – an ideal base for exploring Cappadocia’s elaborate underground cities, hidden cavernous churches and enchanting rock terrain.

Would you like to get married there or go for your honeymoon? Perfect! ( source )
According to my New Year’s Resolutions, the three of them(!), one was to write two posts per week… so I have to hurry!!! And my first post is about .. what else? the wedding trends for 2012. Yes!!
I had to make some research to several bridal sites in order to give you the most important and famous trends, which is …
1.This season, designers focused on hemlines, creating skirts with two distinct tiers. Call it an exaggerated form of the peplum detail from previous seasons, and this time, it’s superflattering—the top tier is a genius way to camouflage wider hips.
Horsehair Trim
Don’t worry, animal rights activists, horsehair does not come from our equine friends; it’s a synthetic fabric often used on the underskirts of gowns to create a cleaner shape and a crisper hemline. It works to create incredible volume and dimension on ballgowns and also provides a unique, frothy-yet-modern textural element.
Blush
Wearing a wedding gown in a non-white or ivory hue was, until recently, considered a pretty radical move. Then, a few seasons ago, we began seeing subtle pops of color—from the faintest hint of silver or lilac to bright lettuce green—but color was still the exception rather than the rule. This season, however, blush and pink shades appeared on dozens of runways, marking its official debut as an expected—not quirky—wedding gown hue.
Lace Sleeves
Since April bridal market fell just a few weeks before the Royal Wedding, several designers were inspired by Kate Middleton and what she might wear. For a great majority, this meant lace sleeves—a sleeker, more contemporary version of the voluminous sleeves that engulfed the young Princess Diana so many years ago. Turns out the recently dubbed Duchess of Cambridge did end up wearing lace sleeves to her wedding, and it’s only a matter of time before this regal look catches on in a big way. We can’t wait.
2. Food stations are another new catering angle. It’s not necessarily less formal, but people tend to socialize a little more. ( we, Greeks, already do that. We are ahead.. by far!!!) The food truck revolution caught our attention this past year, and experts predict that it’s going to pick up steam in the coming months.
3. “Old-fashioned ice cream trucks, crème brûlée trucks or even bacon trucks offer a fun addition to the end of the night or the after party,” said Sasha Souza.
4. The traditional wedding cake is facing some frosty competition from petite mini-mes. While far from passé, tiered masterpiece cakes are getting passed over by brides opting instead for cute and festive cake pops, cupcakes or sweet smorgasbords of bite-sized cheesecakes, pastries and other dainty desserts.
5. Smaller centerpieces will reign supreme in 2012, especially in multiple container shapes and sizes. Consider a combination of exotic flowers mixed with the classics (roses, orchids, calla lillies) to add a modern feel to your wedding décor.
6. Go natural. Keeping with the romantic and nostalgic theme, flowers will be big full blooms. Peonies will be the perfect pairing to more classic gowns. If peonies aren’t your thing (who could not love such a gorgeous bloom?!) opt for soft shades of ivory or light pink. Add extra romance with subtle adornments of pearls. Simply stunning.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you had a great time with friends and family, or your mate; One way or another 2012 is here and it’s time for resolutions!!! Every year I make a promise to myself to stick to the resolutions i made…. and this year I am going to do it all.. the 4 of them!

Who said that only children can write letters to Santa Claus asking for Christmas gifts; I can write a letter too, just to tell him that I adore these shoes on the picture below and my desire is to make them mine!
I know most of the people are writing about peace, happiness, money, no wars, no more financial crisis, I am Greek so I know very well what that means, but I want those shoes. So please Santa bring them to me!! I am just a woman.
What would you like for Santa to bring you? I bet you have something in mind!!
p.s. I do not remember where I found this photo, not the designer. So please forgive me I do not mention the source.

I feel very lucky, since I had the chance to enjoy yesterday night an extraordinary performance of Alvin Ailey‘s American Dance Theater, at Thessaloniki‘s (my home town) Concert Hall. I had read earlier the life and work of Alvin Ailey, because of my interest in dancing and most important because of my daughter’s engagement in it. i have no words to describe the show. The music, the Negro spiritual medley , the lighting, the energy of the dancers, the choreography, everything was amazing.
Alvin Aliley.
Revelation. You watch Revelation and you know what it’s like to be human. 
A Valentine for Mum. Revelation.
The Hunt. Six men reveals the predatory side of human nature and the primitive thrill of the hunt.
Watch the video i could not describe it!!
I feel envy for my American friends because they have the time to watch their performances more often than me!
