Red, again.

2 Replies

It’s that time of the year again, when I leave the dull color palette of my wardrobe behind and I make some attempts for vivid prints (blame it on April). The floral shirt is American Retro from Simple Caractere stores and that vibrant red you see on the lips is the result of Giorgio Armani Maestro lipstick, finished with the newest product of senior Armani, the Flash Lacquer lip gloss, which is non-sticky and stays between your lips -and won’t travel towards your nostrils, let’s say.

The pale pink snakeskin Gianvito Rossi pumps and the Juicy Couture bird ring is from the “Value for Style” event of Factory Outlet, where, admittedly, we found gorgeous pieces in unbelievable prices. The heart shaped street art is some romantic’s soul attempt to beautify the ugly graffitis of downtown Athens and the rest is just homemade garniture.

The new “Cranberry” lipstick by Amway, together with a piece of chocolate from Fresh that once had my name on, the Summer 2013 fuchsia Valentino sling-backs, the book I currently read which is Michel Houellebecq’s “The Platform”, my Jil Sander dream-come-true from Raf Simon’s very last collection for the house, the entire color palette of Korres summer nail polish , a long-desired collectible vinyl of my truest love, aka Arthur Russell from 1986 that I got from Discogs and the very new Nike Air Max that arrived in my mailbox,

is what turned those crappy days into domestic delight.

At the Vintage Festival

Last night at the private view of the famous A.N.G.E.L.O collection (which, as I mentioned before, opened its doors to public today), I fed my eyes and vintage hunger with the most beautiful looks of previous decades. Apart from the designer pieces, such as Celine, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Pucci, Chanel and Valentino just to mention a few, you can also find vintage treasures that don’t carry a precious signature, all in extremely good prices (trust me, I checked). A ride up to McArthurGlen Designer Outlet deserves to be ranked high into your next month’s t0-do list.

ATTENTION PEOPLE: SERIOUS SHOPPING ALERT.

(read at your own risk)

All those vintage treasures that you see here and many more, are not some kind of a vague dream

that fades away when you open your eyes.

The worldwide known vintage collection of A.N.G.E.L.O lands in Athens on November 9th (!) and gives you the chance to add some iconic pieces to your wardrobe. From an Hermes Kelly bag to an 80s Versace pair of pants and Yves-Saint Laurent sunglasses from the 70s, the impressive collection of A.N.G.E.L.O will be available at McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, during a Vintage Festival until the 8th of December.

Use&Diffuse at TR2

Fashion Director of Vogue Hellas Michael Pandos, in coordination with George C.Carabellas, owner of TR2 concept boutique, curated the creation of a capsule collection by five Greek designers. The result is a limited edition of unisex pieces (in consumer-fiendly prices), with the signature of some of the best names in greek fashion (Sotiris Georgiou, Dimitris Petrou, Katerina Psoma, Stathis Samantas and Chris P.), and it was presented yesterday at TR2 The Kolonaki edition, in another “Dolce Far Niente” Wednesday.

Chanel bathing suit and bag, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci sandals and Roberto Cavalli necklace- the kind of white I like

Red lipstick frenzy

I always carry with me four or five red lipsticks, not because I wear them all day long but mainly just for fun. I like to have a

choice whenever I feel like using one -especially when the sun is down.

These are the most beloved hotties, older and new.

Left to right: “So Chaud” by Mac, my right hand’s extension. “Rouge In Love”, Lancome. “Passion Duo” by Dolce&Gabbana. “Wanted Rouge”, Helena Rubinstein. And Mac’s “Digna” in burgundy red, for a rather vamp effect.

You might say I kind of started packing today

neon

It’s neither orange, nor fuchsia, it’s a neon watermelon color and i love it. Especially cobined with grey, nude and taupe. To my Odd Molly ebroidered top and Cos lace braw, were recently added a sheer Cos shirt -that i always wear buttoned up- and the perfect pair of running shoes, courtesy of Nike, the new Nike Free Run+ that got me on the streets again a month ago, running. Obsessed? Well i needed some color anyway (and some extra exercise).



DeuxHommes x Bettina

Bettina continues the celebrational collaborations for its 50 years anniversary, joining forces with greek designer duo -and one of my personal favourite- DeuxHommes, who created for this matter a capsule collection inspired by iconinc pieces of their career. Available from this Saturday at Bettina shop – and they’re all one-off so don’t think twice.
