Greek islands monopolize our interest and out thoughts as soon as the summer begins. Greek designers carry in their designs tha colors of the greek islands and their inspiration seems to get better and better every year. Talented people, create beautiful wet stories. Let the countdown begin.

In 2015 the brand Stefania Frangista was launched . Every season Stefania drives her inspiration from a different location in Greece. This year her inspiration is Santorini.

Summer is still on

How to wear your summer clothes and at the same time create a fall look

  1. You know that your favorite pair of jean shorts or jean skirt, can be a piece that is all year around and you can combine it with boots, or sneakers and with bompers/ leather jacket or our lovable blazers.
  2. Suede alert..it is still on and we love it. It reminds us the hippie season.
  3. The linzerie dress can be worn with a white t-shirt or a jean shirt.
  4. White jeans still have their way to to conquer our fall looks.
  5. Cropped pants or jeans, are both stylish and elegant and can be matched with a blazer or our military trench coat.

Summer recipe

Grilled Watermelon & Feta Salad with Mint, Arugula & Balsamic Glaze

grilled watermellon with feta

Ingredients

Watermelon

Feta cheese (or other salty cheese like Cotija)

Mint – chopped

Arugula (optional)

Balsamic glaze (which is just reduced balsamic vinegar)

S&P

Olive oil (if grilling the watermelon)

 

Directions

Bring some balsamic vinegar to a boil & then reduce to a simmer.  In 20 minutes – my 1/4 cup of balsamic reduced to only one or two teaspoons of glaze – so boil down an appropriate quantity.  My quantity of glaze was sufficient for three little watermelon & feta towers.

grill them

 

If grilling the watermelon – cut it into large chunks.  You can cut them the size of a deck of cards or, as I did, use a large cookie cutter & create deep disks.  If you are not grilling – you can cut any way you like – including bite-sized cubes.

Heat your grill very hot.  Place the watermelon on a little olive oil & grill on that side – the oil side – for no longer than 2 minutes.  Do not overcook the watermelon or it will get mushy.

Foodstyling

Place some arugula on each plate (optional) & top with the grilled watermelon, crumbled cheese, chopped mint, a drizzle of the glaze & some S&P.  Serve those bad boys up!

If not grilling the watermelon – you can just leave that step out or you can toss all the ingredients in a bowl – rather than creating individual servings.
