Lets stretch her legs (my new Canon 40D)

Last week I finally got something that has been on my wish list for quite some time: a DSLR! It’s an older model, so it was used, but in mint condition. I haven’t had the chance to play with it the past few days, but today my brother and I went to Gazi in Athens and gave my new camera a try. I admit that it takes a lot of practicing to get a decent shot and it really helps having someone to show you the tricks.

I also found a manual of the Canon 40D on youtube, which was really helpful.

If you do buy a DSLR and have no idea how to use it, don’t worry, there is a lot of information online. My advice though, is to set it in Manual mode, because the whole point of getting a DSLR is to learn how to take good quality pictures!

(The photos of me were taken by my brother. the rest of the photos and the editing are by me)

(Vest: Bershka, Top: from random shop, Palazzo pants: ProdigyRed, Shoes: Adidas, Bag: Zara, Sunglasses: Rayban, Bracelts: H&M, DIY chain, DIY charm bracelet, Vintage silver bracelets)

Tomorrow it’s the FNO in Athens. Is anyone going? If yes, leave me a comment or email me and maybe we could meet up. 

I think I'll wear my new ASOS dress and bag with a pair of nude lace up booties (unless I change my mind at the last minute!). What are you planning on wearing (for my Greek friends) or what did you wear at the FNO (for my international friends)?

Busy Sunday!

Another day spent at the studio, doing our very first photoshoot. I love working in our studio, my make up table is exactly like I wanted it and the mirrors with the lights create such a beautiful atmosphere. At the end of the day I got lucky too and got my outfit pics taken (by you-know-who), and I bet you can see it in my face that I’m pretty exhausted. I can barely type these few words now...but I had such a great time!





Faux fur vest: Prodigy Red
Top and shoes: Zara
Shorts: Bershka

My beloved friends and followers thank you so much for your kind wishes (in the previous post) and for sharing my joy in my new project. It means a lot to me that you always support me and wish me all the best. And I’m sorry for not commenting much on your posts lately, it’s just that I have to give all my time and energy to this new line of work. But I promise to stop by your lovely blogs very soon...

Cowgirl-ish!

Denim on denim used to be a fashion faut pas, but not anymore. The trend has started since last spring and is still on, at least until further notice! It seemed very appropriate to wear with my new faux fur vest and gave the outfit a “cowgirl” feel.
Last night I went for dinner with friends and we really enjoyed it. Remember my last Cretan cuisine disaster at a not-so-traditional tavern? Well, this time we went to one that was very close to the real thing and the food was delicious (andI ate tons of it)!






Faux fur vest: Prodigy Red
Denim shirt: D&G
Jeans: Citizens of Humanity
Belt: bought locally
Shoes: New Look
Bag: Zara


Face: Korres Wild Rose foundation, Benefit booing concealer, Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Mac satin taupe, Mac nylon (at the inner corner), Korres black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Maybelline lipgloss in apricot attraction

Do you go by the book with the fashion faut pas (which are usually retracted at one point or another)?
