Missed a day!

I am a bad bad blogger and I missed a day. But I have a perfectly good excuse: I’ve been kidnaped by aliens! Hahaha, of course I’m joking. I visited some very good friends of mine and we had such a lovely time that they didn’t want to let me leave, so I stayed over. We played Wii, we saw Avatar (which to my shame I admit not having seen up until last night), we ate loads and had lots of fun. I came back only a couple of hours ago, so that left me no time to post twice today as I ought to, so I’ll do that tomorrow.
I’m posting what I wore yesterday at my friends‘ house. They have a cosy fireplace and I took my pictures there, right in front of it!

How do you blog when you’re away from home? I haven’t figured out how I’m going to solve that problem yet. Any suggestions?

I am a very Stylish girl!!!

I have been awarded by the fabulous Purdey of Kittenish Behaviour with the Stylish Blogger Award and it was so sweet of her. If you don’t know her blog you should definitely check it out. Her posts are always fun to read, especially her date -disaster- stories and you won’t catch her wearing the same thing over and over because she has a large collection of beautiful and colorful clothes and shoes!


So, before I pass the award to 5 stylish bloggers, here are 8 things about me:

1. I love sports cars. I used to be in car clubs, hanging out with guys (mostly) who have the same car as me and we went for road trips and talked about cars all the time. I have also worked in car magazines and even wrote a few articles in them. I used to love speed but I’ve been in a couple of accidents and that shook me enough to drive more sensibly now.
2. My most important flaws are being impatient, impulsive and easily bored!
3. My first real and long relationship was when I was 21 with a greek boy who was studying in Plymouth. He was at the beginning of his final year and I went to visit him for a few days and ended up staying with him for the whole year! My father was furious!
4. I have a fear of heights.
5. Besides studying professional make up, I’ve also studied Dietetics and I did a 3 year distance learning course for a degree in Law (which would take another 3 years to graduate).
6. When I finished high school I wanted to be an actress. I still do!
7. I have stage fright. When I’m on a stage I feel like fainting, my palms get sweaty and my heart beats fast. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to be on a stage. The applauding after a performance is priceless!
8. I used to dance Tango Argentino and I will never forget the first time I danced with my eyes shut. My dance teacher, who was formerly a ballet dancer, asked me to dance with him and told me to shut my eyes. I was reluctant at first, but when I did it, it was the most liberating, magical and heavenly experience I’ve ever had!

And now, I pass the award on to:
By my heels: The gorgeous Lara is a very stylish blogger from Spain. Her outfits are always amazing and being a former model she really knows how to look beautiful!
Despite color: Iben is a very sweet girl from Norway with Greek roots. She has a good eye for fashion and always a nice thing to comment.
Glossy's Wardrobe: Tally's new fashion blog (she has also a very popular Beauty blog) is all about her hauls, her outfits and about what she likes. She's a gorgeous looking girl that could easily be a model and is also kind hearted and sweet. Oh, and I envy her bag collection!
Fashion algorithms: Katerina is my favorite Greek blogger. I like her sense of style and the fact that she has always something nice to say.
Mes choix, mes envies, et mes chaussures.........: Agnès is such a lovely person, a shoeaholic like me, with a wonderful taste in shoes!

And this is today's outfit:

Dress: Artisti Italiani
Tights: H&M
Shoes: SoYouShoes
Necklaces: vintage and H&M

Face: Korres Wild Rose foundation, Kryolan camouflage concealer, Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Coastal scents 26 color palette, NYX baby pink e/s, Korres black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara

I can't wait to read the 8 things my stylish bloggers will write about themselves!

Mix and match?!

I put a question mark in the title because I’m not sure if there was actually a match in this outfit. It looked better in my head and after I saw it in the pictures I’m not so sure. But it’s getting late and I’m too tired to try another outfit. Besides, this is how I left home this morning (except for the shoes).
As for the clip in extensions, I sent an email to “Foxy Locks” to see if they could match my hair color if I send them a picture and I’m just waiting for a response. I’ve read many good reviews about these extensions and they’re reasonably priced so I will be purchasing these ones, as soon as I get a reply. I hope I won’t be disappointed!

The story of a hat!

They are warm and they are stylish. Hats can accessorize an outfit and add some sophistication to a look. I prefer floppy hats with long hair, worn in a more boho way. But until my hair grows long I’ll have to wear it like this.
Anyway, about the hat, it’s very old but still so elegant and fashionable. My mother used to wear it when she was living in England with my father (before I was even born). I have worn it on a trip to Amsterdam and I got many compliments on the streets, by strangers! It felt so nice...






Knit cardigan: Vintage
Trousers: Artisti Italiani
Ankle Boots: Casadei
Scarf: bought locally
Hat: Vintage

Face: Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Korres black eyeliner, Estée Lauder sumptuous mascara
Cheeks: Elf contouring blush and bronzing powder
Lips: Art Deco lipliner No25, NYX lipstick in Chaos

I’ve been considering buying some hair extensions (clip-ins), what do you think? Should I try them or they are way too fake looking?

The fortuneteller!

I went for a coffee with some friends at our usual place and it was nice. We talked about our plans for the (near) future, some projects that we have going on and the financial difficulties that lie ahead of us. Unfortunately this a topic that cannot be omitted from our conversations because the situation is tough. All the prices are up, the wages are lower than ever and people are getting fired every day. But, this is our reality and we have to deal with it.
The cafeteria has a beautiful Christmas decoration outside and there are some big colored lights on the ground that reminded me of crystal balls. So, I posed as a fortuneteller, although I couldn’t really “see” anything, hehe!





Parka: Boohoo
Shirt, Top and Skirt: Zara
Boots: Sagiakos
Tights: Calzedonia
Leg warmers worn as over the knee socks: Jumbo


Face: Rainbow matt finish make up, Benefit booing concealer, Elf complexion perfection

Would you like to know the future? Have you ever been to a fortuneteller?

It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a New Year!

And this is the first post for 2011. I’m glad I started off with some outdoors photos and I hope I will soon get that much needed DSLR.
I’m feeling good, like the song goes and I’m very optimistic about the new year. I have no idea what it’s going to bring, but I believe in positive attitude. There is a wonderful saying in ancient greek: “Συν Αθηνά και χείρα κίνει” (syn Athina kai chira kinei), which means that goddess Athena will help you, but you have to make an effort too!





Coat: New Look
Dress: Boohoo
Shoes: Zara
Tights: Tally Weijl
Bag: Mulberry for target


Face: Korres Wild Rose foundation, Benefit booing concealer, Elf complexion perfection
Eyes: Korres light green e/s, Sleek storm palette, Korres black eyeliner, Mac zoom lash mascara
Cheeks: Coastal Scents 26 color palette
Lips: Korres cherry lipgloss in light purple

So, what are your new year resolutions?
