Monday's Shopping

Hello everybody!
Yesterday I was downtown with friends and I did a little shopping ;-) Haha
At first I was about to buy some clothes from H&M, but I didn't find the pieces that I liked while browsing on the internet official page of H&M. But I didn't left the market with empty hands :-P


1. New rings 

White & Green Ring from H&M

Skull sparkling Ring from Stradivarius

2. New Necklaces

    

Gold & Black Necklace from H&M

Silver Skull Necklace from Pull&Bear

3. New Shoes

Black Ankle Boots from Migato

So I was going for clothes and came up with new accessories and a brand new pair of shoes that I'm very glad of ! I just love my new shoes, they are sooooo my style ! They will rock every outfit and I can wear it till the early Winter with tights :-) 

Well, that's for today! I will leave you now with this quick post and get ready for VOGUE's Fashion Night Out ! Oh, yes! That's tonight! I'm so happy :-) It's a lit cold and rainy here in Thessaloniki, so I may have to make some changes to my outfit in order not to catch a cold! There is the big Street Fashion Festival coming this Thursday & Friday,too!

Have a nice day :-D

Be different, be confident, be stylish !

Sneak peek of the outfits I'm going to wear at the upcoming fashion events

Hello everybody!
As I told you in latest post today I'm going to show you a sneak peek of the outfits I'm going to wear the coming week.
The first event to attend is the VOGUE's Fashion Night Out on Tuesday the 20th ! This celebration of fashion is going to be very glamorous and plenty of style ! So I desides to party up my look and wear bright colours.

I selected this Access Fashion top because it's fabric is so shinny and suits the fabric of my shoes, too. I'll pair it with a dark denim trousers with turned edges, earrings in the colour of the sunrise and a beige vintage clutch which I found in my grandmother's warldrobe (!) . I think this look is both glamorous and chic, appropriate for the biggest fashion night in town ! What do you think?




The next event I'm going to attend is the Street Fashion Festival by Pillbox on the 22nd & 23rd of September. This festival is more kind of vintage as I described to you on my latest post, so I need to avoid shinny fabrics and try a more vintage look and yet retro. And what came first on my mind? My summer purchase of a sinner tutu dress by Hellz Bellz ! Don't hurry, I'll show you below! ;-) I thought of not wearing the dress as I dress -words just going complicated,huh?- , but to use it as a tutu skirt! The great thing about this dress is that the upper part of it is a black corset and the bottom a cute tulle skirt. So I can cover the corset with a top and it makes a great matching outfit! Let me show you...

This is the original dress by Hellz Bellz. As I already told the corset can be covered by a top of your choice. Well I'll use a long square scarf of my mother's warldrobe and turn it into a beautiful top. I'll double knot it on the back and in order not for the knot to been visible I'll try a short cardigan above! What I mean is...

... just like this ! This little idea transforms the whole look! Don't you think so? And now from a rock and prima balarina -I would say- dress is transformed to a retro vintage dress! I'll pair it with the same shoes of the VOGUE's Fashion Night Out look above and a lila bow purse...

I'm not showing you the entire look like I need with the first one above, because I'm so excited for this one and I'm working on it a long time ago, so I want it to be a surprise! :-) My inspiration for this retro vintage outfit was this Carrie Bransaw's look on Sex & the City 2...

 

...and a recent Swing Party I attended in which The Speakeasies' Swing Band had a live permormance !

I hope you like my thoughts about the shown outfits. Let me know below ;-)

Be different, be confident, be stylish !

Well I desided to come here in order to visti my parents and spent some time with my friends! But not only for visiting and having a good time, but for work, too. I came here to attend some fashion events that are taking place arount in the center of Thessaloniki and I really can't miss. Let me show you...

1. VONDIVA Fashion Party @ Movida Cafe-Bar

Well this event took place yesterday, but it worths mentioning. The VONDIVA Fashion Magazine organized it's 2nd Fashion Show Party at the Movida Cafe-Bar yesterday (Friday, 16th of Το September). There was a 3hour fashion show with popular local models and a draw for Von Diva's vintage clothing designed by a Greek Designer ElenaTsapanidou. After then, a great party took place with plenty of drinking, dancing, photoshooting and of course fashion!

3.  STREET FASHION FESTIVAL 2011

        

This event is so cool ! I will start with the fact that is powerd by Pillbox. This is a greek organation in Thessaloniki which supports people or teams of people who design handmade cloths, accesories and cloths or just sell vintage and second-hand fashion in low prices. Every month there is usually a 2day event in which the participants sell their products in a local cafe in Thessaloniki. This time Pillbox will dare to something bigger and closer to a fashion celebration. A street festival !

There will be the standard Pillbox Bazaar with the handmade, vintage and second-hand products and cloth exchange between the visitors, fashion show with pet catwalk and catwalk on rollers (!) and finally street theatre :-) Not bad for it's first time, huh?
This special event will last 2 days, on Thursday the 22nd of September which is also the global Without Car Day (that's why the fashion shows will be held on this day) and on Friday the 23rd of September. I really can't wait for this !

I promise to get some photos of the 2 upcoming events waiting for me! I'll catch up you later with a sneak peek of the outfits I'm going to wear on both of the upcoming events! Till then...
