I hope this post finds you enjoying your summer vacation somewhere and not in the city like me. My holidays are unfortunately over (I spent 10 days in Crete) and now I’m “boiling” in the city. At least I live near the sea and I also have friends who have summer houses near some lovely beaches, so I visit them whenever I get the chance.
I’ve been meaning to do a post about the Color Blocking trend for a while now. I love bold, vivid colors and especially when 2 or 3 colors are worn in the same outfit. Isn’t it strange, how the trends make us see things? I mean, if color blocking wasn’t a huge trend, many people would think that wearing green, yellow and blue together makes you look like a parrot! But then again many people may still not know what “Color blocking” is and think that combining more than 2 colors is tacky. I'm glad I’m not one of those people...

So, what do you think about orange with fuchsia? Likey or not likey?

I saw Versace’s Pre-Fall 2011 collection and I was inspired to put together this outfit. The collection was big on prints and patterns which were sometimes a bit overwhelmingly mixed in my humble opinion. I really liked the shapes of the trousers and the coats and the electric colors of the prints and also I’d love to get my hands on that gorgeous pair of electric blue boots.






Top and jeans: Zara
Boots: Sagiakos
Coat: New Look
Bag: Mulberry for target
Scarf: Vintage
Brooch: gifted
Bangles: bought locally
Watch: Vintage Citizen


Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Benefit booing concealer, Elf HD powder
Eyes: Grimas eyeshadow/rouge No 564 and No282, Korres black eyeliner, Max Factor masterpiece max mascara in black/brown
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: NYX lipstick in Rea, Exclusive elegance double lipgloss

Have you seen the collection? Did you like it?
