Equipment Sisley Blouse

Rebecca Taylor Tweed Pencil Skirt 

Alejandro Ingelmo Lucia Patent Pumps Chanel necklace, and Rock & Republic blazer

This outfit was all about making a skirt that seems appropriate for the office perfect for a night out on the town.  Tweed skirts and jackets are classics and often times they conjure up images of the ultimate tweed pieces designed by Chanel.  The beautiful blend of pink, black, and gray in this skirt is what led me to purchase it, as well as an overwhelming affection for pencil skirts.  Pencil skirts work well for women with hourglass figures and accentuate the waist and butt quite nicely.  You see Kim Kardashian wearing them a lot and she looks good in them.  I feel the same way about the pencil skirt.  It is demure in length, but not in fit.  This tweed one is not as form fitting as I had hoped, but the looseness works well for important work functions.  The way to make a pencil skirt work for night is to pair it with something ultra sexy and sheer like this silk chiffon blouse by Equipment.  You could also pair it with a slim corset and a blazer.  There are endless possibilities for styling a tweed pencil skirt.  A white button down makes it more appropriate for the office, but in the fashion blogging realm a sheer black silk chiffon shirt seems best.

Ankle Boots

Alaia Braided Suede Ankle Boots in Black

Ami Dans La Rue Cashmere Cropped Sweater in Merlot

A.L.C. Pleated Leather Skirt in Brown 

Chanel Pearl Sunglasses in Blue

These Alaia boots are one of my favorite pairs of black ankle boots.  I like black ankle boots a lot and I probably say that about every pair, but the leather braiding on these makes them unique and it doesn't hurt that the zipper has ALAIA emblazoned all over it.  I am all over that! These boots have a unique shape, maybe a fierce shape, that says don't walk all over me just because I am wearing a leather pleated schoolgirl skirt.  I may look sweet, but I can definitely kick your ass if needed.  The Chanel pearl sunglasses were part of the sweet and innocent look as well.  I fell for these hook, line, and sinker at the Chanel boutique in Las Vegas.

Miu Miu Calf Hair Leopard Sandals

Vince Leather Bandage Skirt in Black

Vince The Slouch Sweater in Black

I paired the skirt with a cropped metallic sweater.  This sweater got pretty lackluster reviews on Shopbop, but I am in love with it.  The material feels great against my skin.  Someone said exactly the opposite on Shopbop.  Gilt Groupe had its first ever Vince sale and I was eager to snag some pieces.  Most of the time Gilt has pieces for sale from past seasons, but this time they had current items from Vince.  I was ecstatic.  I compared prices with Shopbop and some other places and walked away with three different sweaters, this being one of them.  It is black metallic and slouchy, exactly what I wanted. 

What is great about having leopard heels and other funky shoes is that you don't need as much jewelry or other accessories to complete the look.  The leopard print heels do all the work for you.  I was lucky enough to snag these Miu Miu leopard calf-hair sandals from Neiman Marcus for a great price.  I have the Miu Miu leopard ankle boots in the same print, but I just couldn't resist a sale price for the sandals.

Skirt and tights

SWORD Novara Leather Motorcycle Jacket 

Abercrombie & Fitch White V-neck Sweater 

Free People Red Plaid/Buffalo Check Miniskirt 

Oliver Peoples Brown Sunglasses 

Danskin Black Tights 

Jimmy Choo Jedd Heels 

I like to add a pop of color to whatever outfit I am wearing and I thought the red skirt really did the trick with this outfit.  These Jimmy Choos are my current favorite pair of shoes. 

Business Skirt

Pleasure Doing Business 5 Band Brown and Gold Mini Skirt 

KAIN Label Crop Top Tee in White 

Yves Saint Laurent Woodstock Platform Sandals in Sandal

Today I am featuring this Pleasure Doing Business skirt that is available on Tea Leaf Clothing.  It is the first item I have ever had from the Pleasure Doing Business brand and I have to say that I am quite happy with it.  I have tried bandage skirts from both Herve Leger and BCBG and I was pretty disappointed.  Herve Leger bandage skirts will cost you a pretty penny and the BCBG skirt left unsightly bulges.  For the first time, I have found a bandage skirt that really works and flows over my shape seamlessly.  It smooths your shape out just enough and you can still move around quite easily.  I will definitely be back for more Pleasure Doing Business skirts in the future.  This one in particular has beautiful gold stripes throughout and is the perfect skirt to transition you into spring.  I cannot wait to wear it with tanned legs. When I received it I was suprised to feel how substantial and well made it was and I looked later and found out that it was made in the USA.

Since it is so high waisted I decided to wear a cropped sheer tee on top.  My favorite crop tops are from KAIN Label.  The blend of modal and silk is soft against my skin and I like the slight sheerness so my T by Alexander Wang bra can be seen.  For shoes I wore my new Yves Saint Laurent woodstock platform sandals that my boyfriend bought me for Valentine's Day.  When I saw the skirt I knew they would be the perfect shoes for it because of the deep brown color.  I cannot wait to rock this same outfit in the spring without any tights.  I am not crazy about Yves Saint Laurent's standard heels, but I am wild about these unique sandals because they suit my personality so well.

Ladylike

I was wearing :

turtleneck vintage 

skirt Zara

bracelet h&m

sunglasses Dior Homme

bag Love Moschino

Steve Madden pumps

I'm so into combining pencil skirts with big knits at the moment, it looks chic and ladylike but in a kind of effortless and really up-to-date way. If you think this red turtleneck, the first thought about it is wearing it with jeans or casual pants. But you know what, I just love it with this gray checked pencil skirt, it's all about effortless elegance and femininity. Finishing the look in a totally ladylike way, meaning heels, fur bag and some jewelry. 

Mustard and Purple

I was wearing :

trench coat toi&moi

turtleneck Zara

tights Calzedonia

tote bag Calvin Klein

pumps Zara 

Who said tights are boring? Don't be afraid of the tights' months my friends, for these little pieces can be also a wonderful fashion accessory and a great detail to your look. Just go for the fancy ones. And if the printed ones seem like too much to you, then you can also choose them in an interesting color. The variety is so wide, that you're definitely going to end up with more than one pair in your hands. So here I am, starting my tights' months with a beautiful pair in purple. I wanted to enrich the purple touch on this look so I added purple pumps and tote bag and made a big contrast with the mustard trench coat and turtleneck. I totally love this color combo, it's pleasantly different and looks kind of happy.

Autumn Colors

I was wearing :

shirt & booties Zara 

jeans Lee

belt h&m

floppy hat Berschka 

bag Axel accessories

Photos of my Saturday outfit for a relaxing afternoon spent with Dimitris at the park. As soon as autumn makes its appearance I love wearing neutral colors, either as details or even more on total outfits. So this is what today's outfit is all about, different camel and beige shades mixed in a comfortable and effortless weekend look.

Romantic Fall

I was wearing :

dress Oasis 

cardigan vintage

belt FullagSugah

bag  Oasap

sunglasses Asos

shoes Miu Miu

One of the things I love more about fashion is all the different possibilities it can offer : you can choose a different style every day, from retro or romantic to androgynous or rock, or mix details of different styles in one look. And the style you choose reflects your mood as well of course, making you feel a kind of different person every day. In any case, it's definitely really really fun. So about today's look, it's a super girly romantic look, with some retro references like the checkered shoes or the print of the dress. I chose one of my favorite dresses combined with a cardigan which makes it less summery and it's actually a great way to wear your summer dresses at the first days of fall.

These Shoes

I was wearing :

top Rachel Zoe

skirt Zara

sunglasses Asos 

earrings Cavalli

shoes Badgley Mischka

This is how I decided to wear for the first time these beautiful shoes that I had show you the other day : on a chic and very feminine look, well definitely not an everyday outfit - it's appropriate only for evening or night time but these shoes make want to dress up all the time (well at least even more than usually :D). For their first appearance I wanted to wear them with basic colors so they can stand out even more. Therefore this wonderful nude Rachel Zoe top, a new in to my closet, was the best choice. I adore how it surrounds the neck leaving a long ribbon at the back, such a pretty detail. 

Another Era

I was wearing :

coat Killah
tweed dress vintage
blouse & heels Zara
belt & clutch FullagSugah
tights pull&bear
sunglasses Asos
bracelet Miss Sixty

Since I remember myself, I always wanted to live in another era. Sometimes in the Rococo period so I can walk around like Marie Antoinette, sometimes in the feminine 20's and other times in the magical 50's when all the great designers were creating. After I watched the film "Midnight in Paris" a couple of months ago, which I highly recommend you to see, I realized that this is like a "syndrome", probably affecting romantic people the most. We've got to admit that, despite all the negative sides of our time, there also are so many unbelievably amazing things. However, although I've learned to appreciate my era, I can't deny that I still adore the style of former periods. Therefore I love adding touches of them on my outfits.

Yellow Fur

I was wearing :

faux fur Forel

skirt Toi&moi

blouse Mango

socks Calzedonia

pumps Zara

Honestly, no matter how fashion-forward you may be, hearing these two words "yellow fur", don't you expect something really extreme? And pretty unusual too? Although I'd like to say that I was the one brave enough to buy something like this, the truth is that I wasn't. Guess what, my super-duper mom bought this fabulous piece. Looking at her closet (like I always do) the other day I saw it and almost scream. Except of the fact that it's a fur (faux one), that you know how much I love, it also has this amazing vivid yellow color. So so beautiful. 

Call it a Dress

I was wearing:

top Asos

skirt Zara

clutch axel accessories

nailpolish Essie

shoes Miu Miu

The fact that I take my photos for the blog during the day usually makes me wear day outfits, made for morning or evening time. This is not one of them. I decided to go for a more formal, ladylike and very feminine outfit which, especially now that Christmas are on the way and parties and events are usually coming up, is even more suitable. This is one of my ideal outfits for such occasions, because it's the kind of outfit that doesn't go unnoticed yet it's not overdone. I love this top with the polka dots see-through sleeves and worn with this skirt at first it gives the impression that they are actually a dress, how cool. Wearing them with my beloved Miu Mius and my hair tied in a low ponytail, I wouldn't want them to hide this beautiful top. The light blue clutch and nailpolish I wear add a small touch of color, just enough so everything isn't black. I also tried a smokey eyes look which looked much more intense in reality, but the strong sun softened the result.

WITH A FLUO TOUCH

When my young brother bought me this clutch about two years ago I didn't thought that I'd wear it a lot. It's actually the second time I wear it. But as most of you may have seen yellow clutches are a big trend lately! Seems that my brother has a fashion instinct eventually, I should be proud I guess :). From the time I saw this trend I wanted to wear it with another fluo color. What's your opinion about mixing different fluo colors together?

Some of my friends were with me and Dimitris when we were taking these photos today so I took advantage of it and asked them to take us some photos together (thank you Nick!) . His outfit is completely different than mine, just neutral colors. Well fluo is not for boys :P .

Όταν ο μικρός μου αδερφός μου πήρε αυτό το clutch πριν δύο χρόνια περίπου δεν πίστευα ότι θα το κρατούσα πολύ. Και βασικά είναι η δεύτερη φορά που το κρατάω. Αλλά όπως ίσως έχετε δει οι περρισσότεροι τα κίτρινα clutches είναι μεγάλο trend τελευταία! Φαίνεται ότι ο αδερφός μου έχει το ένστικτο της μόδας τελικά, πρέπει να είμαι περήφανη υποθέτω :) . Από την πρώτη φορά που είδα αυτό το trend ήθελα να το κρατήσω με ένα ακόμη fluo χρώμα. Εσείς τι πιστεύετε για το ταίριασμα διαφορετικών έντονων χρωμάτων μαζί;

Κάποιοι φίλοι μου ήταν μαζί με μένα και τον Δημήτρη όταν βγάζαμε αυτές τις φωτογραφίες σήμερα γι'αυτό το εκμεταλλεύτηκα και τους ζήτησα να μας βγάλουν μερικές φωτογραφίες μαζί (ευχαριστώ Νίκο!) . Το outfit του είναι τελείως διαφορετικό απ'το δικό μου, μόνο ουδέτερα χρώματα. Εντάξει τα fluo δεν είναι για τα αγόρια :Ρ .

I was wearing:

tights Calzedonia

shoes old

BRONZE SKIRT

After almost an entire month of cold and very low temperatures, sunny days have finally made an appearance here in Greece. I really hope they last because of a very important and serious reason : I can't wait to wear pastel colors and light textures! And you are free to judge my superficiality, I can't blame you really.
As for today's outfit now, bronze and gold make a wonderful combination with cream - the result doesn't look dark and it's great to wear it even in morning time. The vivid fuchsia lipstick stands out on this outfit, adding a youthful and fun touch. Oh and wearing these wedges with tights may not be easy to dare, but they really make a statement!

Μετά από σχεδόν έναν μήνα με κρύο και πολύ χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες, επιτέλους ξαναήρθε ο ήλιος εδώ. Ελπίζω πραγματικά να κρατήσει για έναν πολύ σημαντικό και σοβαρό λόγο : ανυπομονώ να φορέσω παστέλ χρώματα και πιο ελαφριές υφές! Και μπορείτε ελεύθερα να με πείτε επιφανειακή, δεν σας κατηγορώ.
Όσο για το σημερινό outfit τώρα, το μπρονζέ με το χρυσό κάνουν έναν υπέροχο συνδυασμό με το κρεμ - το αποτέλεσμα είναι φωτεινό και είναι πολύ ωραίο ακόμη και για πρωινές ώρες. Το έντονο φούξια κραγιόν ξεχωρίζει σε αυτό το outfit, δίνοντας μια νεανική και χαρούμενη πινελιά. Α και ίσως να μην είναι εύκολο να τολμήσει κάποιος το καλσόν με πέδιλα, αλλά πραγματικά κάνουν statement!
