At Home: Office Inspiration

source: bloglovin.com

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Today we put together some home office inspiration (we are working on our own DIY project coming soon!) to get your creative juices flowing. Right now we are loving white as a wall base, then adding texture and pops of color with unique accents like stacked photo frames and nifty wall decor like jewelry and accessories.

DIY Inspiration

 When the weather is chilly all I want to do is put on a fuzzy robe, light some candles, play some jazz music and get working on DIY projects for the upcoming holidays. I'm prettyyy sure I'm not alone on this feeling, so enjoy this weeks DIY links to try for yourself or to inspire for other creative avenues.

Nafplio, Greece

 Two hours south of Athens is another coastal town known as Nafplio. Most certainly a place to visit if you have a family or want to indulge in a romantic weekend. This town has tiny winding streets filled with boutiques and cafes, and the center square comes alive at night with diners enjoying fresh seafood and ouzo.

CGS Current Beauty Favorites

One of the many reasons I love the transition of seasons this time of year is that the air feels filtered. I can breath in the crisp air AND my skin can breath a bit too! It feels so refreshing not to be sweating and constantly blotting my face in 80+ degree weather like I have been this past summer. Now that the season is changing, my beauty routine is changing as well. I transformed my light and oil absorbing  beauty routine to a hydrating and warm scented ritual.

Here is what I am currently using and why I am hooked:

Greece: Porto Germeno

One of the excursions we took when I had time off from work was to a hidden and whimsical town called Porto Germeno. After about an hours drive throughout towering mountains, we came across a cliff that overlooked the entire port. 

One word, magnificent.  

Greece: Exploring Plaka and the Acropolis

 After two and a half months of working in Istanbul it was time to have a change of scenery. My next destination: Greece! 

One of the first areas I was eager to explore was Plaka.  Small, pedestrian only streets, take up a great deal of this area with bundles of quaint and enticing boutiques presenting their merchandise onto the bustling sidewalks. Charming and aromatic cafes with live music are positioned along blocks of rising concrete stairs adorned with flowers and vine covered walls.

Every corner I turned there was something waiting to be seen...

Dolmabahce Palace

This beautiful and alluring palace perched on the Bosphorus is definitely something to explore if you ever travel to Istanbul. We wandered up to the Palace walls on a walk back from Ortakoy one day and decided to take a peak inside. It was definitely worth it!

The Dolmabahce Palace is breathtaking, and the views of the Bosphorus are simply majestic. We were lead through the inside of the palace by a guided tour, but unfortunately could not take any photos of the interior. Thankfully the outside is just as enchanting as the inside!
