Lately I’ve been watching episodes of Mad Men non stop and I couldn't help but be inspired to create a 60’s outfit. You all know I love vintage and retro style. I used a few vintage items for today’s outfit, although this period is amongst the season’s trends, so one can find similar clothing in the stores.
I know I’m not consistent to one particular style, but that’s me! I don’t want to label my style or narrow it down to certain characteristics. I’m all over the place because I dress according to my mood swings and to the circumstances (weather, event, latest trend, etc).
And one last thing about Mad Men: apart from the amazing clothing, the exceptional capture of the 60’s atmosphere and the great cast, I love it for Don Draper! He’s the epitome of what I want in a man: handsome, intelligent, talented, mysterious, polished. Minus the cheating, which comes with the territory I suppose!!!

I just got back from doing some lifting and cleaning (can’t say why and where just yet!), so my outfit today had to be simple and casual, because you can’t do this kind of work with heels, can you?! Same goes for make up.
I’m wearing a T-shirt that was given to me (because I love skulls for some reason), by a friend who listens to heavy metal and these Totenkopf guys are a real heavy metal band. Which of course I have never heard of, because I’m more of a jazz/soul/light rock kind of gal!

PS: I stopped counting the Days in the title because it started to annoy me. I know when the 365 days project is supposed to end and I will let you know. Either way, I’m going to continue posting daily, project or no project!
This weather is driving me crazy! One day it’s autumn, the next is spring and there are few wintery intervals in between. The perfect weather to catch a cold. And I’m very susceptible to colds because (like my mother always tells me, with a finger pointed at me!) I never dress weather appropriately. Well, if you tell me what the season is exactly, I’ll dress appropriately! I’m saying all that because yesterday I had a low fever and today a terrible migraine. Grrrr, I hate feeling sick!
Well, sick or no sick I chose to wear brown today, with a hint of color from my favorite chunky knit that I bought last year from Zara. I’m also wearing a pair of shorts which used to be bermuda pants and I cut them short.
Everything is from Zara except for the belt (my borther’s old belt) and the shoes which are from New Look
Face: Korres Wild Rose foundation, Nivea perfect cover concealer, Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Coastal Scents 26 color palette, Bourjois black eyeliner, Mac zoom lash mascara

Did you buy any chunky knits this season? (I’m getting too nosey with about your purchases lately, lol!)

PS: Here's Loulou in another shoe box! (I love the shoes and she loves the shoe boxes, hehe)
First of all I apologize for the delayed post today, but I was swamped! I went to “Beauty” show today, a show for beauty professionals here in Athens, something like IMATS only in a much smaller scale. Apart from Kryolan or China glaze and a few other well known brands, the rest are professional make up brands (some of them I don’t even know!). But it’s fun, there’s a lot to see and of course a lot to buy!!! I didn’t carry a lot of cash with me (it was the only way to restrain myself) because I only needed a few things. And here’s what I got:
3 China glaze nail polishes, one top coat and a Primer by Kryolan:
The China glaze glitter polish “Party hearty” (on the left) immediately caught my eye. It will be like having a Christmas tree on your fingers!!! LOL!
And here’s what I wore:
Knit cardigan: Zara
Button shirt: Zara
Leather skirt: Exté
Ankle boots: Casadei
Bag: Pinko
Face: Korres watermelon oil free tinted moisturizer SPF 30, Nivea perfect cover concealer, Mac mineralize skin finish natural
