hip figures

2012-01-29T00:43:00.000+02:00

Three different clothing firms for tonight. Mara Hoffman, a NY based designer launched her firm in 2000. Amazing prints and unusual forms. Shakuhachi is a clothing label, that combins girlish elements with a bohemian touch. Something else by Natalie Wood, is a brand centered between art and fashion.

Lately i've been searching for new ways to express my creativity. I'm organising of course with descepline my jewelry line - and all the things that are necessary: promotion, shapes, design, costs, codes, organising space and time-, maybe i'm going to teach as a volunteer a few things about graphic design and illustration, start doing creativity lessons for kids, a site-blog reconstruction, etc For now i leave you with random pics from blogs i like.

shopping is good. shopping is bad.

Hi. i returned from Athens with empty hands. The bazaar didnt go well (for me and for others too). I didnt realise that the Aharnwn street of the Parapera exhibit building is one of the dangerous in Athens. Only a few people came by. Anyway i saw dear Etsians friends, did pretty conversations, met new members. It was fun. I saw my best friends Hristina with her husband Dimitris (i stayed in their home, the best hospitality ever!) and Helen. Now i'm waiting to see friends, that are coming to town for Christmas. Merry Christmas friends!!

Some beautiful items from Etsy: whatnovelidea, printparty, urbanchandy, AndyveEirn, PorcelainSkulls.

Hi! i'm trying to be ready for the etsy greek street team bazaar at "parapera" at 12-18 of December. Trying to finish the excel boards (prices and calculations, wholesale, retail etc), so i'll be able to make some small freebies for our loving buyers! I wont be from the start at the bazaar, only Friday 16 - Sunday 18 of December.

I bought 2 carpets in light grey-beige-khaki colours (love), i'll have them this week i hope. And because hubby is making rennovations at the cafe, he said we can take the AMAZING large italian designer's ceiling lighting!!!! When my living room is finished (finally) i'll post a few pics!

Some really interesting stuff from Stephanie Baechler.

2011-11-06T20:29:00.000+02:00

today i've learned something about my hubby, that made me love him MORE. Everything else sucks. Work, country, money. pics from Buamai.

i will not give up

2011-10-27T21:33:00.001+03:00

Today i was kindly rejected by a collective gallery-e-shop with jewelry/accessories, very eclectic. I'm dissapointed, i ca't hide it, but i will not give up. I'll get my work to a next level and i will apply again. But today all i see is black colour and have a headache. So excuse me for the moody pics..

clear head

2011-10-18T21:03:00.002+03:00

Yesterday evening i came back from my trip to Athens. Clear head, no bad thoughts, i'm not that ungry and upset now. I got my plexiglass pieces, my cords and all my findings. I went to my first swap party (swishing clothes). We went early with Aggeliki (my bro's girlfriend) at Petralwna and i found a guess jean and two dkny blouses. But more and more people was coming, the room was kinda small and i couldnt breath so we left. I was a little sad while i was watching my 2 pairs of topshop shoes dissapear..

I bought a beautiful H&M silk blouse, a pair of black ZARA wedges and three merino wool dkny blouses for my hubby from stock shop. No more shopping for this year unfortunately. Recycling clothes that's the mood.

Really soon i will upload my new jewelry and accessories line. I'm really happy with the result and i would appreciate your opinion.

Edgy jewelry from made her think and gorgeous swatch watches in collaboration with Jeremy Scott.

flexible life

2011-10-11T23:02:00.001+03:00

September and October were 2 really emotional months. Ugly situations in all my relationships (friends, hubby, family) made me ungry, sad, upset. So i'm working like crazy, because i dont wanna have time to think. Sketching, heating, painting, cutting, blogging even cooking. I became a master in baking tarts!

Anyway i'm going a little trip to Athens to get fresh air (!) and clear my head, to see my beloved friends, Helen and Christine, my bro (it's his birthday this Saturday) and his girlfriend Agge.

I've found these beautiful scarfs by forget me not, origami style jewelry by Noritamy, detailed leather necklaces by Anuk Harvey and the coolest nike lunar i've seen in josh spear.

speak up!!!

2011-09-20T23:56:00.000+03:00

Dont keep your feelings inside! dont pressure yourself too much. SPEAK UP! I've been patient for 1.5 year, from several bad things, attitudes that made me mad.. And here i am now, my head is killing me and i'm trying to make some calm discussions and i cant. Always, but always when something is bothering you, calm down your nerves and make a discussion.

Anyway,a designer that i saw at style.com, Michael Angel and his digital prints.

hello autumn

2011-09-06T22:00:00.001+03:00

Hi there! it's been a month since i wrote. Busy August. Home finally finished, i'll post some pics soon, i'm happy with the result! Some of our friends are getting married or baptizing their children this month and this Saturday i'll baptize my friend's Aggei second daughter. We'll call her "Eleftheria" and nickname "Riri". She's a blonde cutie with red cheeks!

Anyway, i'm trying to find out what will i do with my freelance job, i'm sketching my winter jewelry line and searching for a third job option. I hope you all had a beautiful summer, spend some time with your loved ones!

creativity through cleaning

2011-08-04T00:03:00.001+03:00

I'm really tired from rennovating two homes, cleaning, moving, emptying the third one. I'm going tomorrow at Patra at sofa company, to order my sofa, at last!!! I'll take a look at parousiasi too to find any offers at cutlery. I want a minimal design. My buffe is coming on Saturday and i will finally put all my "special" glasses and plates.

After all these, yesterday at 1am i made my first clutch from grey leather and i used my machine for eyelets. I put a silver chain to cross it at my whristle and a tiny plexiglass heart. I'm posting some of my fav rooms via desiretoinspire, emmasblog and others lovely blogs.

random but wow pieces

2011-07-25T20:27:00.000+03:00

I know, i know.. I've said that i'll write every day or every second day. BUT. My mom's house was renovated and now we're cleaning and moving back things and furniture. And my aunt's home was sold last week and we have to empty it till Sunday!!! Too tired, to sneezy from dust. And i must finish the extra orders of my leather bracelets, go to athens on Thursday for my dentist appointment and be back friday night. And after all that 16 days of summer madness is starting at my hubby's cafe. Some random choices of wow jewelry and leather pieces. Delfina Delletrez, Luvaj, Fleetilya.

australian's fashion designers part 2

2011-07-18T23:34:00.000+03:00

this is the second part of the australian fashion and accessories designers that i like. Sara's Philips chilhood memories give a modern, feminine look, combining classic tailored shapes with intricate detail. Kate Williams is a fashion designer and an illustrator, with great experience and flawless technique. Mysticism and magic are combined with inspirations of icons, music, films and making MANIAMANIA jewelry.

georgeous shoes!

2011-07-12T00:28:00.000+03:00

I love shoes! who doesn't you might say.. love weird shapes, heels, flats, different textures. I was searcing one my fav fashion portals style.com and i saw them all. Shoes for fall 2011. Georgeous pieces! I'm posting some of the best for me. Rene Caovilla, Diego Dolcini, Jimmy Choo, Pierre Hardy, Maloles.

sunday's hip loves

2011-07-10T22:42:00.001+03:00

After a Saturday night out, hubby and me came home at 6am. We closed the cafe-bar at 3am and then we went to laugh at the closest bouzoukia (maybe some of you know what i mean by bouzoukia at province, pure decadence...), i slept till 1pm and all day i was like hypnotised. Now it's 10pm and i'm finally awake.

Some hip choices that i liked for tonight's post. A beach-y, serfing with some folklore of Mexico clothing line, by (they started at 2010) quality people. Accesible still eccentric clothes and amazing footwear from the Australian label Shakuhachi. And some jewelry of course' armor started as a hobby and began an entire line of avant garde jewelry pieces.

australian's fashion designers

2011-07-07T22:10:00.001+03:00

I wanted to make posts about australian fashion designers for some time now. This is the first one. Alexi Freeman has a unique aesthetic, fashion concepts and limited edition printed clothes. Alice McCall after working as a stylist at MTV, Natalie Imbruglia, launched her label and now is selling in 10 countries. Elements of tender, girlish charms with a rock & roll touch. Bianca Spender 's modern clothes, known to mix structure with fluidity, sophisticated and intelligent pieces. Bettina Liano since 1983 has established a great name in the australian fashion industry. The art of tailoring, cutting and sewing fabric are treasured art forms.

endless inspiration

2011-07-06T22:15:00.003+03:00

After a fast trip to Athens, i returned to my new routine. Everyday posting and blogging. Today some decadence, art nouveau to primitive design for clothes and jewelry. From japanese to Australian designers. Vintage and new. a designer archive vintage online shop with '70's Giorgio Sant Angelo black dress, Japanese designer Hanae Mori printed blouse and skirt, Jan Michaels 80's earrings. A "plastic" online shop tie ups with the coolest plastic belts. Estelle Deve amazing jewelry. An the rebirth of sunpocket originals sunglasses (i bought this pair).

mountain rocks!

2011-07-01T21:05:00.001+03:00

Hey! yes, yes i'm here! dark clouds of money, depts, swat forces, tears of chemicals etc. All these here in our poor Greece. Not in the mood for blogging, posting, searching. Only sketches for new jewelry and accessories and tv. Anyway. I've decided at least try, to post something everyday. I've found these amazing raw, boho, ethnic jewelry "all for the mountain". One of the best jewelry sites i've seen, kolaz, weird images, Egypt.
