H&M Autumn 2012 press preview
Last night I attended the H&M press preview for the Autumn 2012 collection. The event was held at Booze Cooperativa in the centre of Athens and it was lovely. We got to see up close some of the clothing and accessories from the autumn collection and ladies I tell you this: you will love it!
From the chunky cardigans and the leather jackets to the sequined dresses and the statement jewelry, there are beautiful choices to mix and match and create some very stylish outfits.
At the event we also had the chance to “play” with some garments and accessories and have our picture taken with our chosen items! I was already wearing an H&M top and jeans, so I added a coral jacket and necklace and also a black hat and a pair of shades, to create my total H&M look!
Make up - wise, I opted for a nautical look, inspired by the new “Hey Sailor” collection by MAC (and I used all MAC products).

Ας μιλήσουμε για ομορφιά...
Το σημερινό post είναι στα ελληνικά, καθώς απευθύνεται στο ελληνικό κοινό αυτού του blog.
Θέλω να ανακοινώσω την έναρξη ενός Beauty site, το οποίο δημιουργήσαμε τρεις φίλες Beauty bloggers: η Τίνα, η Εύη κι εγώ. Και το όνομα αυτού:
Με τα κορίτσια γνωριστήκαμε καταρχήν διαδικτυακά, μέσω των blog μας και στη συνέχεια εκ του σύνεγγυς, και αυτό που μας έδεσε, πέρα από την αγάπη για το μακιγιάζ και τα καλλυντικά, ήταν η ανάγκη να δημιουργήσουμε έναν ιστότοπο (στα ελληνικά) αφιερωμένο αποκλειστικά σε θέματα ομορφιάς.
Στο Beautytalk.gr λοιπόν, θα μπορούν οι αναγνώστριες να μαθαίνουν για τις νέες συλλογές, τις τάσεις της μόδας, μυστικά ομορφιάς, DIY συνταγές για φυσικά καλλυντικά και βέβαια θα μπορούν να λύνουν τις απορίες τους μέσα από τη στήλη “Ρωτήστε μας”.
Κάντε μας Follow στο Twitter για να ενημερώνεστε άμεσα για τις νέες αναρτήσεις, καθώς και στη σελίδα μας στο Facebook.
Σας καλώ λοιπόν να εξερευνήσετε τις σελίδες του Beautytalk.gr και να μας επισκέπτεστε για κουβεντούλες ομορφιάς! Θα περιμένουμε τα σχόλια και τις ερωτήσεις σας...

Athens Xclusive Designers Week - My outfits!
I know I should have made these last posts earlier in the week, but a mean cold had me feeling awful for the past few days. Well, better late than never...
I only went to the AXDW on Days 1 and 3, but I had a great time and it gave me the chance to meet some new people and catch up with others that I hadn’t seen in a while.
Outfit-wise I went for mostly blacks on both occasions. I guess my work dress code is starting to influence my whole wardrobe (I work for MAC and the dress code is “all black”!). But you can never go wrong with black, can you?!
My make up is of course all MAC, but I honestly can't remember what eyeshadows and lipstick I wore in the first outfit. In the second, I used Print and Carbon eyeshadows lightly blended to create a soft smokey eye, and Impassioned lipstick with Boldly bare lip liner.
1st day outfit:

| (Dress: Moschino, Shoes: Brian Atwood, Bag: Vintage, Pendant: Vintage) |
3rd day outfit:

11th Athens Xclusive Designers Week - Celebrity Skin AW2012-13 collection “Deconstruction”
It was a celebrity parade alright! But surely not only that. I think Dimitris Strepkos and Eleni Mparla (the names behind Celebrity Skin), really raise the bar! They showed an excellent collection, with unique pieces, that are so avant garde, yet wearable (in an eccentric but stylish way).
I loved the turbans and the arty eyewear and all the shoulder or head pieces that added to the theatrical presentation. It was mostly blacks, with lace and leather and puffy shoulders and lots of skulls (especially in the men’s line).
The women's line kind of reminded me of Tina Turner in Mad Max, with the accentuated shoulders and that whole futuristic-dominatrix persona. At least that was the vibe I was getting...

11th Athens Xclusive Designers Week - Ourania Kay AW2012-13 collection “sTigma”
The minute I saw the ecclesiastical candleholders on the runway I thought that we’re about to see something very intriguing. I couldn’t be more right. The lights went down and on the video wall a clip was playing, preparing us for what we were about to see, creating a very mystical atmosphere. And then, psalms were heard and men appeared dressed in black cloaks, holding lit candles that they placed in the candleholders. After that, the models started walking down the runway, showing the designer’s beautiful creations. The color palette consisted of blacks and silvers with a hint of blue and beige.
The jewelry/art pieces were by Perikles Kondylatos, and they made quite a statement!
I must say that this was the most impressive show (at least among the ones I saw) and kudos to Ourania Kay and her team for the idea and the amazing presentation!

11th Athens Xclusive Designers Week - Stephan Caras AW2012-13 collection
On the first day of AXDW, Stephan Caras presented his collection for AW 2012-13, titled “Lush Sensuality”. The title describes perfectly what we saw at the show. Feminine and sensual shapes, made by lush materials such as brocade, fur, organza, and feather ornaments.
Stephan Caras is said to be “the designer who loves women” and that appears to be rightfully true. The figure hugging dresses and trousers and the see-through blouses and lush details would make a woman feel a million dollars!
P.S. Yvonne Bosnjak and Ana Dimitrijevic also walked down the runway and they both looked gorgeous!

11th Athens Xclusive Designers Week - Stelios Koudounaris AW2012-13 collection
Stelios Koudounaris showcased his new collection for Fall/Winter 2012-13 this Saturday night. We saw a mixture of textures, all beautifully layered to create liquid silhouettes. He remained consistent to his usual greys and blacks, but this time there were also some burgundy-reds and muted golds. I loved quite a few of those muted golds as well as the see through details and the different lengths all blended together, following the shape of the body.
The men’s line was also very appealing, especially the textured knits and the jackets.
What I most like and admire in Stelios’ creations is that they are instantly recognizable. He has a specific style and identity that he remains faithful to and that’s a very important element for a designer. Without repeating himself, he manages to evolve and present something new every time, that still is utterly and totally “Stelios Koudounaris”!
Last but not least, the amazing shoes were Jeffrey Cambell and the fringed accessories by Anna K.
