Absolut Mode Nights - Greek Fashion Designers Project: Stelios Koudounaris

Thursday night, ABSOLUT Vodka in conjuction with three Greek fashion designers, Stelios Koudounaris, Sotiris Georgiou and Digitaria, presented a fashion event at Dream City club in Athens. The occasion being the launch of ABSOLUT's limited edition bottle "Absolut Mode", the three designers presented parts of their collections through the reflections of Absolut Mode. It was a multimedia fashion performance, staged by Memi Koupa under the DJ's Apostolos Mitropoulos chosen tunes.

Due to picture overload, I've split the post in two parts. 

I will start by Stelios Koudounaris collection, which impressed me once again. I loved all the dresses and the way they were presented. The models started with the usual walk down the runway (but in a rather fast pace) and at the end they all appeared wearing the beautiful maxi see-through dress and carrying roughly-cut mirrors in their hands, which they waved in front of all of us. It was very impressive as the mirrors reflected the spot lights and various images from the audience and the models. 

I LOVE this dress!!!

Gorgeous jacket!!!

Stay tuned for the second part with the rest of the designers...

Max Perry and Orsalia Parthenis "Fashion pastry project"

Last night I attended the press event for the "Fashion pastry project" of Max Perry Handmade chocolates with Orsalia Parthenis. This project involves a very “sweet” collaboration as you can understand. The Greek company Max Perry, in association with ALLY, PR & Marketing company came to a very innovative concept: the creation of a chocolate Boutique!

In collaboration with Orsalia Parthenis, who took inspiration from her Bridal collection, a special series of chocolates was created. Mrs Parthenis designed 6 different women’s silhouettes (which were inspired by 6 of her beautiful wedding gowns), playing with the contrast of dark, white and milk chocolate. 

The fashion pastry show will be available at the Max Perry stores from mid December till the end of January 2012. 

The event was held at Galaxy bar in Hilton and it was lovely. There was chocolate everywhere and I really wanted to taste every single piece. I restrained myself to only two, which were delicious! 

(Make up all Mac, Face: Studio sculpt foundation, Select sheer pressed powder, Eyes: Melon pigment, Embark eyeshadow, Gesso eyeshadow, Coco bar liquidlast liner, Zoom lash mascara, Cheeks: Blushbaby, Belightful iridescent pressed powder, Lips: Stripdown pencil, Social light lipglass)

(Cardigan: H&M, Blouse: Nili Lotan, Trousers: Boohoo, Shoes: New Look, Clutch: Vintage, Watch: ASOS, Bangles: random)

Chocolate!

Oops! Caught in the act!

Casual Friday!

The photos came out blurry again today due to my friend’s shaky hands (I guess)! It was cold again today and I remember saying how happy I am that spring is finally here (2 days ago). I’d say I jinxed it, but I don’t think that’s possible! I do hope these are the last cold days we’ll have until next winter. I got a new pair of wedges and a casual maxi dress and I’m dying to wear them!

Chill loud!

Some people don’t like Sundays. Maybe it’s because it’s the last day of the weekend and we know we’ll be working the next day. But I do like Sundays, especially when the weather is warm and sunny and I get to out to eat by the sea and then chill out at a café. I stupidly forgot to take my camera with me but I managed to have a couple of photos taken with my i-phone. The only thing I didn’t like is how crowded all the cafés were and the extremely loud music. I mean, I’m by the sea, drinking my cappuccino freddo, I’d prefer some nice lounge music instead of all those mainstream beats played aloud. If I want to dance I’ll go to a club and not to a café, right?!






T-shirt and cardigan: Zara
Jeans: Boohoo
Shoes: Office
Bag: H&M

How was your Sunday? And what did you wear?

New in: Citizens of humanity jeans!

Not exactly new since you’ve seen me wearing these jeans here, but I didn’t properly introduce them to you then, so I might as well do it now. I’ve been given this pair of jeans as a gift, which I was very happy to receive. Their cut is something between a bootcut and a flare, and that makes them very versatile and does not constrict you to wear them in a certain way (as for example with the flares/bel bottoms, where a 70’s or bohemian styling is more appropriate) . I paired them with a new knit sweater that I got in sales, which is very warm and I love it’s lovely electric blue color.




Knit: Zara
Jeans: Citizens of humanity
Jacket: Boohoo
Bag: H&M
Ankle boots: Office
Rings: Vintage
Scarf: Vintage


Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Mac full coverage (as concealer), Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Sleek bohemian palette, Korres black eyeliner, Max Factor masterpiece max mascara in black/brown
Cheeks: Coastal scents 26 color palette
Lips: NYX lipstick in Paris

I needed to have the jeans shortened but I made the mistake of wearing them with shoes with a much smaller heel and they came out too short for my liking. So I unstiched the hem and now they’re much better. Although I wouldn’t mind a few more centimeters, but it has already been cut! :(

The wild one!

As promised, here is the second post. In this outfit (from the waist up) I feel like a female version of Marlon Brando in the movie “The wild one”. He played the character of an outlaw biker, wearing a perfecto jacket, a white T-shirt with jeans and boots and a tilted hat, a style that later became an iconic image. Perfecto style jackets and biker boots are still in fashion.
This outfit has some elements of the biker style with the addition of a faux fur scarf and the high heeled peep toe ankle boots, to make it a bit more feminine.






Jacket: Boohoo
T-shirt: old, unknown brand
Jeans: Bershka
Ankle boots: Linzi shoes
Faux fur scarf: DIY
Hat: Jumbo
Ring: H&M


Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Mac full coverage (as concealer), Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Elf single e/s in Amethyst, Black e/s from NYX smokey eyes palette, Korres black eyeliner, Max Factor masterpiece max mascara in black/brown
Cheeks: Elizabeth Arden palette
Lips: Elf all over color stick in Pink lemonade and elf glossy lipshine

Do you like the biker style?
