Color blocking (Part A)!

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?

Punk chic!

Sometimes I’m in the mood for an edgy outfit and make up look, so last night I wore my new leather-look leggings and I added a lace blazer to create a punk-chic outfit. Make up wise, I just did a very dramatic and intense cat-eye which adds a little oomph to the whole look. And I think that a bright, almost neon, pink lipstick is the perfect combo with the black eyeliner. Not to mention a big hit this spring...
(Note the photos were not taken in the studio as you can probably guess, but they were taken by my brother that's why I put the watermark).

But no, I had to go and catch a cold and ruin everything! You know, with the usual annoying stuff: sore throat, runny nose (yack!), achy bones etc... @#$%$@%#$#$^$ (= swearing, inappropriate language)!
Anyway, I’m still here for my daily post with this outfit:
