Day 27 - Fly with me!

Today’s outfit reminds me of an air-hostess! I don’t know why but everytime I wear a scarf around my neck like that, it gives me that whole air-hostess feel. And I don’t mean it in a bad way, otherwise I wouldn’t wear it! I like the polished, elegant look that most air-hostesses’ uniforms have. Some are very conservative and look like school uniforms, but there are others that I would gladly wear...




Dress: from a random shop, bought years ago
Shoes: Zara
Belt: Zara
Scarf: vintage

Face: Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Korres black eyeliner, Korres lengthening mascara
Cheeks: Elf blush in candid coral
Lips: NYX lipliner in tangerine, Estee Lauder lipstick in Spiced coral

Would you like to wear a uniform to work? Do you think it would save you from wondering what to wear everyday or that it would be incredibly boring to wear the same thing?

Day 26 - Code red!

They say that red is Aries’ (my zodiac sign) favorite color. When I was in puberty and going through my dark phase (I wore black, black and black!), I thought that was totally ridiculous and that red is fine only when you play the girl with the “Little Red Riding Hood” (the famous fairy tale of “Kokkinoskoufitsa”). Growing up, I started to appreciate red and to incorporate it in my outfits. First, by wearing a few red accessories, like a bag or jewelry. Later on, I became bolder and started wearing red dresses, or red patent stilettos (my favorite!).
Red is associated with passion, lust, love or anger and violence. And there are so many shades of red: scarlet, maroon, burgundy, sangria etc. It is a rather interesting color and if you wear it the right way, you can look ravishing!




Jeans: Harley Davidson
Shirt: Zara
Shoes: D&G
Earrings: random accessories shop

Face: Korres watermelon oil free tinted moisturiser SPF 30, Nivea perfect cover concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: Korres black eyeliner, Korres lengthening mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Lancome juicy tubes

Do you wear red? And do you agree with what our zodiac signs tell us about our favorite colors?

Day 25 - Black and grey!

Don’t you just love grey? Especially if it’s suede and vintage! I’m talking about my belt, which came straight from my mother’s closet (I “confiscated” it years ago). I paired it with a pair of grey platform court shoes I got this summer (on sale) and a vintage clutch.
Sometimes I think that if my mother hadn’t given away most of her clothes and accessories throughout the years (when I was too young to stop her), I would have had a huge collection of vintage treasures. At least she kept a few nice things for me...



Jeans: Zara
Shirt: Zara
Shoes: Zara
Clutch: vintage
Belt: vintage
Earrings: from a random accessories shop


Face: Avon perfectwear foundation, Kryolan camouflage concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: About face cosmetics “naughty little elves” pigment, Korres black eyeliner, black e/s from NYX smokey eyes palette on the crease, Avon super extend mascara
Cheeks: Grimas 581 eyeshadow-rouge
Lips: Exclusive elegance double lipgloss

No question today. I can’t find anything relevant to ask! You could ask me something though, if you want...

Day 24 - Polka (dot), anyone?!

Today I had to work from home, so this outfit was put together for blog purposes only. Although I have worn this outside with a different belt and without the flower. Polka dots were a major trend this spring and for me it’s a classic, ladylike, pattern that I like to incorporate in small or big doses (like this dress).
I wanted to create a victory roll (a hairstyle famous in the 40’s and 50’s) but my hair was not cooperating today. And as for make up, I’m practically foundation-free (couldn’t bother to do a full face) and I’m wearing a bright red lipstick.




Everything you see here is from Zara, except from the flower and the belt, which are from random accessories shops in my city.

Eyes: Korres lengthening mascara
Cheeks: Mac blush in peaches
Lips: lipstick from Rainbow (manufactured in Greece by Sephora) No196, La Roche Posay lipliner in 06 rouge pur

If you could go back in time, in which era would you like to live? I mean, fashion wise, which is your favorite period?

Day 23 - How do you take your coffee?!

I took my coffee in a plain tee and a pair of distressed jeans today! It was a beautiful day and I went to a place that has a fantastic view. I love to do that on Sundays, go for coffee with friends I mean.
The pendant I’m wearing it’s a gift from a friend, he brought it to me from New York and I love it. I’m wearing it backwards, because the other side is embellished and this one goes better with my outfit.
I don’t have a lot to say about this outfit actually. There are days when I don’t feel like putting a lot of effort, I just want to get dressed and get out!




Jeans: Seven 7
T-shirt: Zara
Shoes: Zara
Bag: Longchamp


Face: Korres watermelon oil free tinted moisturiser SPF 30, Nivea perfect cover concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: Elf mineral e/s in partier, Korres black eyeliner, Korres lengthening mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Elf super glossy lip shine

And a random question: I have been watching several tv series lately (Gossip girl, Ugly Betty, Lipstick jungle, Cashmere mafia) and I’m hooked! Do you know of any other interesting tv series I could watch?

Day 22 - My dancing jeans!

As you can tell from the title I went dancing last night. It was a lovely night, with no rain. Can’t say the same about today...
I went to a nice place with latin music and I had a great time. I danced a lot and it occurred to me that dancing always makes me happy and I should do this more often. I was a bit rusty at first, but soon it all came back to me.
I wore my brand new jeans with a black top and my favorite dancing shoes. As for make up, I did a sparkly dark navy blue smokey eye and pale pink lips.




Jeans: Gas
Top: Zara
Shoes: Comme il faut
Clutch: Kookai
Earrings: vintage
Belt: from a random accessories shop


(note: the flash washed out the color and it made it look like a grey, when it's actually a beautiful dark navy blue!)

Face: Avon perfectwear foundation, Kryolan camouflage concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
Eyes: blue e/s from the Sleek storm palette, Korres black eyeliner (as a base and at waterline), Avon super extend mascara
Cheeks: Korres Monoi oil bronzing powder, NYX blush in Silky rose

A dear friend who was at the latin club with me yesterday kindly offered to take my pics and he did a lovely job! My friend, you are hired!!!

Day 21 - Ex officio!

I like to wear smart - office style - outfits every once in a while, even if I don’t work at an office. My wardrobe is full of office wear, remains of my days in Advertising. And it also happens that lately I’ve been watching "Ugly Betty" (didn’t actually watch it the first time around) and I was inspired by Amanda’s style. I think the fabulous Patricia Field had something to do with the amazing outfits...




Dress: Zara (the belt came with the dress)
Shoes: Zara
Bag: Longchamp


Face: same as yesterday
Eyes: 26 Coastal Scents palette, Korres black eyeliner, Korres lengthening mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Elf super glossy lip shine

Tonight I will go dancing hopefully. That is if it’s not going to rain, because rain puts me off and makes me want to stay home. What are your plans for tonight?
