The Purple Dress

As I've said before, I decided to be very strict about my new purchases and one of my rules is that I'm not going to get anything that's black or grey. So, to make a long story short, fashion-wise color is this season's challenge. While looking for the perfect every-day dress (as you know I rarely wear pants) I came across this one. Apart from the color that I love, since I'm really obsessed with purple lately, I also liked the cut: minimal and kind of girly it seemed like an ideal buy. I've already worn it twice and I can't wait for those Asos babies to arrive so that I can experiment a bit with the colors!

The Petrol Blanco Sweater

Here's what I wore to attend the Adidas Ermou Opening party the other day. This season I'm really into all those new color combinations so I was looking for the perfect petrol sweater. I found it at Blanco where I also found the purple bag with the ruffles (I so love purple the last couple of months) and my colorful -kinda indie- bracelets. Needless to say I'm more than happy with those new additions to my wardrobe!

Adidas Ermou Opening Party

Last night my partner in crime (a.k.a Lopi) and I headed downtown to celebrate the opening of the new Adidas store at Ermou Street.

Now, I would really like to say how much I liked the store but the fact that my friend Nikos (yes, the one who designs my headers) worked on the project doesn't make me the most objective judge right? But I recommend that you check the store out next time you visit Ermou and tell me your opinion, I'm sure that you 'll love it.

Online Shopping - Asos Shoes

It's no secret that I love high - heels (and shopping online). From the first time I saw those Asos shoes (while writing this post for Miss Bloom) I felt that they'd make a perfect match to my winter outfits. I'm planning to wear them with my black opaque tights like I did a lot last year and I think that they 're going to add that 70's touch that I'm so into this season. Needless to say I can't wait for them to arrive!

Favorite Things - The Callisto tote

Before saying anything I have to admit that, as weird as that might seem, this is one of the posts that I feel really excited about doing even if it has nothing to do with fashion or cool designers. Almost a month ago I was introduced to Callisto, a relatively new environmental organization for wildlife and nature. It was founded in 2004 in Thessaloniki and as a NGO it focuses on the "Conservation of biodiversity and of areas of high natural and aesthetic value, with emphasis on mountainous ecosystems and forests in Greece, the Balkans and other neighbouring countries".

Mi-Ro & Kalogirou show Outfit Post

Here's what I chose to wear at the Mi-Ro & Kalogirou fashion show at Golden Hall. My main concern while choosing this outfit was that I had to get there straight from the office so I had to wear something comfortable but chic. My grey Zara dress seemed like the perfect choice and I wasn't disappointed. It's very comfortable and it kept me warm (ok kind-of-warm) plus my accessorize necklace once again saved me (it can upgrade the simplest pieces of my wardrobe in a sec!)

On my nails: Essie's "Size Matters". Now speaking of Essie, have you seen the new collection? I got all the colors and I absolutely can't wait to put each one of them on.

Special Thanks to my colleague Gavriil who shot the pic for me.

Kalogirou & Mi-Ro Show at Golden Hall, Athens

Yesterday afternoon I attended the much anticipated Mi-Ro & Kalogirou show at Golden Hall. The event was organized in order to celebrate Kalogirou's 120th anniversary and I have to admit that from the very first moment that I heard about it I was pretty sure that it was going to be something big! Of course I wasn't disappointed. The Mi-Ro clothes and the shoes from Kalogirou were absolutely stunning (not that I expected anything less than that) and I really should congratulate the Kalogirou and Mi-Ro teams for the perfect organization of the event.

Yeap I was one of the lucky one's who got the chance to go backstage!

Online Shopping - xlcloset.gr

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to this new online shop, called xl Closet. As you 've probably already guessed it specializes in plus - size  clothing and I have to admit that it surprised me with its freshness and variety. It's available in Greek and in English and I totally recommend that you check the "Offers" category in order to find cool stuff in smart prices. Also, you should definitely check the Accessories. Yeap, this is where this scarf comes from! Now, speaking of the scarf, I have to say that it was love at first sight: the color is perfect to match with my jeans and I love its ethnic details.

The abstract floral skirt & the grey vest

When I saw this skirt at buldoza.gr I knew I had to make it mine. The print is the perfect abstract floral and it had those little orange details that matched perfectly with my beloved Jean Paul Gaultier for Melissa shoes. To be honest at first I was a little worried about wearing a printed skirt but it ended up being one of the pieces I wore the most.

Vrettos Vrettakos - The show

If you are a fan of glamorous long gowns and shiny little minis I totally recommend that you take a look at Vrettos Vrettakos' new collection. I attended the show yesterday and even if all that sexy-ness and glamorous approach is not my cup of tea I have to admit that he mastered it really well.

Celebrating 1 year of Notos Galleries in Thessaloniki

As I promised I'm back with more details on our recent trip to Thessaloniki to celebrate Notos Galleries' 1st birthday. But first of all I have to say that the store itself was a very pleasant surprise.

And here's the "team": Pepy, Eleni, Zeta, Chrissiana, (me - well, obviously) and Lopi (well, obviously n.2)

Anyway, after my shoes went under thorough control at the airport (and I really do not blame the airport staff for not understanding why on earth would someone travel in 12cm heels at 8 o'clock in the morning) we arrived in sunny Thessaloniki where we found A LOT of surprises waiting for us (and all the other guests)!

The fashion show was one of them. The styling was mix & matchy but I couldn't take my eyes off the little black dresses that closed the show.

And there was (good) live music!

And we had TONS of fun! 

Happy Birthday Notos Galleries!

Notos Galleries 1st Birthday - Accessories Details

If you follow me on twitter you already know that on Saturday we had a fantastic time in Thessaloniki, celebrating Notos Galleries' 1st birthday. As I'm waiting to get the pictures from the show would like to give some details on the necklaces that I wore at the party since everyone who saw me asked me where I got them from.

Waiting for the Notos Galleries show to begin with Lopi

So, the first one with the little white pearls is from Accessorize (yeap, my Accessorize accessories are countless) where as the other one  is from this new online shop called No Fashion Way. and you can see it here. Now let me say that No Fashion Way was a pleasant surprise for me since I found many of the accessories that I was looking for like this long necklace or this bracelet so I totally recommend that you pay a visit.
