the pandora box

Bracelet & Charms: PANDORA / Book: "STYLE A to ZOE" (gift from Starbags)

OBSESSION.

I'd been craving this bracelet for almost two years and finally last summer was mine. I don't know why it took me so long to make it mine but surely I couldn't keep pretending I don't need it.

What actually makes Pandora bracelets unique is the amazing selection of one-of-a-kind charms that personalize them. Personally I want every single bead to mean something to me, so I choose them carefully. Since now I've collected five charms and a blue murano glass bead - it was the first I added on and reminds me of my summer holiday in Mykonos. The latest addition was the "21" charm, a gift from my mom for my Bday!

Some of the most creative personalities unleashed their own creative vision on the Eastpak backpack. I really loved the ones by Selios Koudounaris, Al Giga, Konstantinos Rigos, Dimosthenis Serketzis and Georgina Skalidi. By buying these customised bags you are helping Designers Against AIDS (DAA) organization.

bb loves me

Jacket: ZARA / Shirt: PRIMARK / Pants: BADILA / Boots: OYSHO

To be honest, this post should be already posted during Valentine's day, but after a day full of duties, work and lessons I finally step into home at night. So, an hour after the day is over, I'm happy to share with you my new addiction:
The BB cream by Garnier.

I'm not -or to be correct, I wasn't- the kind of girl who wears make up or even moisturizing creams every morning 'cause I was feeling my face sticky and shinny. But after testing this BB cream, I have to say that I reconsidered; Not a heavy foundation but still is covering all the spots, LOVE it!

When I received an invitation from Dimitris Petrou (aka my favorite Greek fashion designer), I cancelled my lesson to attend his show. I just knew I had to go.. And I was right!

The show took place in an old, dirty and wet leather factory that was a very interesting contrast to the clothes. The styling and every single detail were perfect.

I'll post some backstage photos soon, so stay tuned. Timeout for now Houston.

on the top of the world

2011-12-15T20:04:00.001+02:00

Last night I found myself standing amazed by the beauty of Athens by night, as well as by the tasteful sweets that the talented Greek fashion designer, Orsalia Parthenis, created with the help of Max Perry patisserie, known for its handmade chocolates.

As we walked in Hilton's Galaxy bar, a big chocolate sculpture in the shape of a woman's body caught our eye and everywhere there were large disks full of small choco-treasures waiting for us to taste them.

Orsalia herself explained to me the process of this collaboration. Oh, btw, she was looking amazing!

At the end of the night we sat at the balcony with the breathtaking view, drinking a glass of wine (or two) and chatting with friends. What more can I ask for?

new month, new needs

2011-11-30T04:43:00.001+02:00

1. Proenza Schouler PS1. So unique.

2. Marni for H&M collaboration. I'm SO into this collaboration and smthg tells me shoes are going to be a huge success!

3. Zara Boots. Looking everywhere for these babies but still no luck at all.

4. Louboutin Pigalle. THE shoes.

5. Macbook. My laptop is very slow lately that makes me thinking about upgrading it.

6. Miu Miu wallet. Really need a new wallet

When I want to buy something I write it down with the result that fluo-colored post-it are all over my desk.

I decided to make a wish list feature which is displayed on the side of my blog so I can organize the mess and cross out easily whatever I finally did manage to buy.

This time it was the 4FASHIONSHAKE, a fashion project which connects fashion with art and allows young fashion designers to introduce their work in a more artistic way.
Unfortunately it's like pie in the sky for me to edit so many photos right now as I barely keep my eyes open, so I leave you with a preview. Nighty night guys!

h&m x versace event

Trench coat: My mom's / Fur vest: VERO MODA / Waxed pants: ZARA / Pumps: BERSHKA / Purse: ANYA HINDMARCH / Metal hair ring: H&M

Versace and H&M celebrated their collaboration last night with the opening of a new -2.600m²(!)- store in Athens and madness is the only word that comes to my mind when I think about it.

As much as I could see because of the huge crowd, the clothes were quite nice with beautiful prints and colors. Personally I was dying over the simply silk black dress that Abbey Lee wore at the lookbook and the leather skirt with the Greek pattern but both were sold out in minutes. Finally I ended up buying the cap of the menswear collection.

The collection will be officially available in stores from 17th November. Good luck people, you'll need it!

When there's no a special plan for a night out, I like gathering with friends at home.

To pamper them a little bit more I make them some drinks.

For the Absolut Flower cocktail:

50ml Absolut Vodka

20ml strawberry puree

30ml lychee puree

20ml lavender syrup

Then shake it..

Have a great Saturday night everyone!
