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:

(T-shirt: Vintage, Leather skirt: Vintage, Pumps: Zara, Cross: random shop)

RocknRolla!

Maybe it’s my idea, but I felt very Rockabilly in this outfit and make up. At least from the waist up! It’s funny how people react when I tell them I’m a Make up artist. They either compliment my make up (which is always a nice reaction) or they nod in a way that says “ahh that’s why your make up is so ... (fill the gap)”, lol! Not that I ever got a bad critic (at least not to my face), but I get the feeling that for some people this kind of make up is considered extreme or theatrical. Well, I don’t really care, as long as I like it...






Jacket: Boohoo
Striped top and bag: Zara
Pumps: New Look (new)
Trousers: Vintage
Belt: Moschino


Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Benefit booing concealer, Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: NYX white e/s, NYX smokey eyes palette, Mac liquid eyeliner, Korres black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: NYX lipstick in Chaos, Elizabeth Arden lip liner in Cocoa rose

I wore this to go out for drinks with a bunch of people I didn’t actually know (friends of my friend B.), hence the “what do you do for living” questions!
Tonight I’m going out again with Alex and some of his friends and I will most probably be wearing one of my latest purchases which arrived today! Have fun whatever you do...

In-fuschiated!

I like my blacks but I also like color. Strong and bright color, like fuschia. Yesterday I wore it as a lipstick, today I needed a much stronger dose of it. I’m wearing a long knit I got a few years back from Bershka, which I adore, if only it didn’t make me look so fat! So I put my old Moschino coat on top to hide the bulkiness. Completed the look with a pair of bright pink socks and a matching pashmina and off I was to buy a few things for my house. I ended up buying nothing, but I enjoyed looking. Next time I’ll visit IKEA and maybe I’ll be more lucky...





Coat: Moschino
Knit: Bershka
Jeans: Harley Davidson
Bag: Pinko
Shoes: original tango shoes
Pashmina: bought from Turkey
Earrings: bought locally


Face: Korres Wild Rose foundation, Nivea perfect cover concealer, Elf complexion perfection

Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Exclusive elegance double lipgloss

I was supposed to go to a gig tonight where my friend Paul would play (the guitar) along with his blues band. And he also told me I would sing a song with him if I showed up. I feel so bad for not going but my feet are killing me from all the running around. I promised him that next time they have a gig I’ll be there because I really miss singing...

A busy day!

A very quick outfit post because I just came back from what was a very busy day. I guess there are going to be those too, when I will barely make it before midnight to post my daily outfit and make up pics. Bear with me, I’ll do my best to be consistent with my 365 days project and that’s a promise!




Knit turtle neck: Zara
Trousers: Boohoo
Socks: Jumbo
Shoes: Zara
Belt: Moschino (old)


Face: Max Factor lasting performance, Kryolan camouflage concealer, Grimas translucent powder
Eyes: Grimas e/s 575 and 280, Korres black eyeliner, Korres lengthening mascara
Cheeks: Biolife blush
Lips: Seventeen radiant lipliner 02, Maybelline bonboncaramel toffee cream lipstick

Maybe I should do a poll or something, but I was wondering, would you like to see something other than outfit and make up posts?
