I hadn’t seen Sophia Kokosalaki for more than 12 years, when I assisted her during the Opening & Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Games Athens 2004. So it was a great pleasure to meet her again on Monday at
iD Concept Store, where she’s, be from now on, retailing her evening wear & bridal collection and jewellery.
Apart from some fine jewels with diamonds, there is also a range of golden-platted pieces, plus the entire collection is available in white, black and red colour, upon request.
Yellow Gold
“Get balanced, get personal”. Daisy London has recently launched a Chakra collection of jewels, born from the ancient Buddhist symbols of harmony and life balance. I took the Chakra test only to discover that I need to work with my Base Chakra (or Root Chakra), so this beautiful gold chain bracelet now adorns my left wrist -a smart
trick to buy yourself pretty blings, too.
A veteran in nail colours, Essie launched its 1000 edition! The sparkly vivid yellow hue “Aim to misbehave” is playful and unique and matches perfectly with the bright, summer sun.
And now, COOKIES: Best Belgian speculoos are found at Maison Dandoy, that also takes the coolest
packaging prize by far.
YSMF Style: Loose fit
Always a sucker for a masculine-inspired easy-breezy outfit. Here an H&M pajama blouse is paired with high-waisted pleated pants by Vassiliki Charitou. Metallic flower earrings by H&M. Shoes Stella McCartney.
On the lips: Twist lipstick “Seductive” by Korres.

Isn’t it lovely when you pair your jewellery with your heels?
