Navy & Red


Here's a belated outfit post. You see, the images were shot last week but I didn't really have the time to post them on time plus I thought that this Kiehl's project was much more interesting than my outfit!
Regarding the outfit now, I'm preety sure I'll never get over my love for navy touches (and well, red) but anyway. I'm so glad I got this navy cardi last year since you can pair it with every single basic item and it makes it look preety cool.   

Remember the skirt? (Also seen here) and the shoes?

Kiehl's Friends Create for a Cause: Georgios Carabellas


Let me introduce you to Concept Maker exraordinaire Georgios Carabellas. George is one of the artists that teamed with Kiehl's for this project and here you can see him with his cuter-than-cute doggy, Thisseas who is also the mascot of Thission Revisited 2, George's Design & Fashion Concept Store. 
The bags he created for Kiehl's are super-cool (Yeap, I've already seen them but I have to keep it a secret) but unfortunately I don't have images from the making of. You see, our hectic schedules made it really difficult to meet. What's more, George was in London where he had a very successful pop-up store opening at "The Merchant", in Notting Hill.

Anyway, I chose some of my favorite TR2 products so that you can get a taste of his work and maybe guess what the bags are going to look like.

The espadrilles caught my eye from the very first moment, they are unique, aren't they?
Love the colors of these clutches!
Espadrilles again. I can't get enough!

Preview: H&M Autumn/Winter Collection


I know, I know I should be talking about bikinis and Havaianas at this particular time of the year but after attending the Preview of the upcoming H&M Fall collection I just can't help it. I promise I'll make a post on the Summer stuff as well but for now here are some of my favorites of the new collection:

1. Officially my favorite shirt-dress ever: The print (horses are so cute), the sleeves and the belt were love at first sight.
2. Yay for this look. It's wearable, cosy and I love the shorts. (Keep in mind that this print also comes in an awesome open back dress!)

3. Seriously now, don't you feel like you want a cold day (or maybe two) just to wear this coat? I'm definitely buying this one!

4. It might be a little bit sportier than the ones that I'm used to but I still find that this Parka is super cool.

New In: Fulalh Sugah Flats


Even one of the biggest fans of high-heeled shoes (me, that is) needs a pair of stand-out flats and Fullah Sugah is -obviously- aware of that.  I mean how else would you explain the content of the parcel that I received today?
Now tell me, am I the only one who adores the color blocking on these cuties?

Chunky Heels


New in and already loved. Am I the only one here who thinks that chunky heels are cool? 
Seriously now, I didn't see that coming but despite the 11cm heel (and not much of a platform on the front) these shoes are definitely amongst the most comfortable shoes I own. Plus I so needed a pair of brown shoes to pair with my non-black dresses like this one so it's considered a smart buy, right?



Kiehl's Friends Create for a Cause


Being one of Kiehl's "friends" is something that I'm quite proud of. You see, Kiehl's is one of those few brands that invest on social responsibility and prove that caring about the others can be part of a brand's identity. And you know I'm all for that!



Anyway, the reason I'm saying that is that Kiehl's is working on a project that aims to help the less privilleged children who live in the centre of Athens learn about Ecology and Art. What's interesting though is the concept: Kiehl's chose 9 artists and designers who will take the classic eco-friendly Kiehl's bags and turn them into pieces of art, while nine bloggers will monitor the process. For each bag that will be created Kiehl's will donate 100€ in order to finance an Eco Art workshop for the children who live in Kerameikos and Metaxourgio. The workshop will take place in the Rebecca Camchi Gallery and will be guided by the non-profit Organisation "Clean Up Greece".

Coming up next: The Artist and bloggers who will take part to the projects, the Party plus all the details on how to win one of these bags! Stay tuned!

Favorite Things - The Red Belt


This red belt was one of the first items I bought this season, since my outfits desperately needed a colourful touch. It's amazing how a belt can completely transform an outfit (if you choose the right belt that is!), my only problem is that belts are usually too big for my waist. Anyone having the same problem?

Anyway, I'm totally aware of the fact that I'm developing a huge addiction to red lately, I'm working on it (= looking for bright yellow and fuchsia pieces).

The 20€ Red Dress


Ok there's definitely something wrong with this picture (hello? where's my shoe?) but I kind of love it. 
It's probably because of my cute little red dress. I got it from Zara, it costed 20€ (or something like that) and it's already my favorite. I should 've probably bought the floral version as well but anyway. 

*Don't forget! A few more days left to take part to the 100€-to-shop-from-Lacoste-Giveaway*

Win 100€ to shop from Lacoste!


Lacoste is on of the most iconic brands, no doubt about that, but at the same time, Lacoste is one of the brands that evolve and do not stay stuck on the past. The brand's Unconventional Chic campaign is the ultimate example of that, don't you think? I mean a classic, white L.12.12 polo shirt worn on top of night gowns and paired with a bow-tie? If that's not surprising then what is?
Anyway, Lacoste has put up a pop-up store at The Mall Athens to celebrate their Unconventional Chic Campaign and they've also created a cool application that the shoppers can use to create their own Unconventional Chic Lacoste outfits until the 17th of May and win a 30€ voucher to shop from the store. 
Lopi, Thalia and I were invited at the Lacoste boutique at the Mall Athens to create our own outfits and kind of participate at the Unconventional Chic Campaign. Needless to say we created a mess at the store trying to decide on our outfits and taking pictures (with Lopi's cam let me add) all the time (thank God for those kind saleswomen, thumbs up for you girls!). I decided I'd like to wear something that I wouldn't really wear in my everyday life but it felt so Lacoste to me: a blue and green dress, a white hat and a pair of silver ballet flats, that is.
And here comes the exciting part! Each of us is giving away 100€ to shop from Lacoste! 
In order to take part to the giveaway you can either leave a comment with your e-mail here OR e-mail me at lifefulloffashion@gmail.com until Saturday May 14! 
Don't forget! You can increase your chances to win by participating at all 3 giveaways (Thalia's Lopi's and mine)  

GOOD LUCK!

New In: Fullah Sugah


A few days ago I found the most beautiful package waiting for me at home and here I am, officially welcoming those Fullah Sugah babies into my life! I won't say much, the image speaks for itself I think.
I have to say though, that these shoes surprised me for many reasons. First of all the proportion of the platform and the heel is perfect. The shoes are very steady and the straps make sure that they are comfortable as well plus the glitter gives a wonderful princess-y touch which I adore. 
My package also contained a super-comfy belt that I'm planning to wear a lot during the summer so stay tuned!

Needless to say I couldnt resist doing some "research"at the Fullah Sugah online shop (typical me) so you can see more of my Fullah Sugah favorites here and here. What's more Lopi has already written about her Fullah Sugah package here so check her post!

New In: Adidas Originals


Here's my new Adidas Originals Bag:
And here are the reasons why I love it:
1. The color: It's black&white and can be paired with most of my clothes.
2. It's reversible. I mean, who wouldn't love to have two bags in one? The one side is black with white leather on the bottom and the Αdidas Οriginals logo and the other one is well obviously the one you see on the photo.
3. It's roomy (translation: I can put all the useless stuff that I carry with me everyday, plus my laptop!)
4. The handle is longer than usual so it's really practical.
5. I have to admit that Adidas Originals make me feel so much cooler! (Yes I know it would be wiser not to  make such statements in public!)

Remember that party?
