My month in pics – July 2013

Jul312013

Can’t believe that we’re one day away from August! It seems like yesterday that summer just came. And most of all I can’t believe that I haven’t gone on vacation yet (and I don’t know if I will, anyway). Let’s hope that August would be a better one for me. I’m always starting with my outfits, so here they are: 1) ombre maxi dress, 2) colorful day, 3) Summer black and whites, 4) What I wore on my nephew’s christening, 5) Anniversary look, 6) maxi dress & fashion bloggers’ meeting. 6 of them for this month (and I owe you one)…which is strange because it was definitely a month I went out a lot. It must be because I didn’t have someone to photograph my outfits at that time. But thanks to my bf, my new iPhone has been a great friend lately, since I can photograph anything I want, including “previews” of my outfits, and let’s face it, most of my meals. I love photographing my food. So here are the photos I uploaded on my Instagram this month. Don’t forget to follow me there. When I look at them I see I had a great use of my new jelly bag, and I liked my outfits with it so much that I’m planning to wear them again to photograph them for the blog and show you the complete look. Would you like that?

Maxi dress & Fashion Bloggers’ meeting | Outfits

Jul292013

Last week, we had a 2^nd meeting with some of my fellow fashion/beauty bloggers of Thessaloniki. After enjoying some coffee/drinks and chitchatting at a cute café downtown, we headed to a small alley near the white tower, where we took outfit photos! Mine were taken by the sweet Kleoniki of Notebook of Claire, whom I want to thank for her patience. I decided to go with my maxi purple dress and my new candy shoes, as I was planning to go for drinks with some friends later. Next time I’ll try to dress more casual, to match the girls! hehe In the last 2 photos, apart from Kleoniki, you can see Anatoli from An.ni with love, and Kate of The Orange Pig!. Thank you girls for this amazing evening…We should definitely do it again!

Dress First | Online Shopping

Jul282013

Every wedding season, I get tons of emails from girls asking me what to wear on such events. I always tend to go for formal because I love dressing up, but I always say “wear whatever makes you feel comfortable”, depending on the dress code of the occasion. For me, dressing up for weddings shows respect to the couple who invited you to be there on their happiest day of their lives. But there are always other options that agree with your style. Today, I’m going to show you a few styles I like for formal events, all from the e-shop DressFirst. DressFirst has everything you’ll need for special occasions: from cocktail dresses to wedding dresses. These above are my 6 favorite styles, all taken from the cocktail dresses section. I love the movement of the fabric on the blue one and the white one; they seem ethereal. The red one from the second row reminds of the one I was wearing on my brother’s wedding. As for the 2^nd and 3^rd ones, I find them really elegant, but I’d go for the ethereal ones in summer. What do you usually wear on weddings? Would you like me to do another post with less formal options in the future?

Anniversary look | Outfits

Jul262013

Most of you saw my anniversary look on my previous post, but I wanted to make a more detailed one, to give you more info about what I wore. I picked this dress to match my shoes, and even though it didn’t cross my mind to wear them together at first, I really liked the result. The bag was also a match to the pink of the shoes, and the bracelet (one of my favorite ones), was neither gold nor silver, so that’s why I picked it. My hair is naturally wavy, even though it may seem straight to most of you (the front part is always straight for some reason, while the back is always wavy), and I wanted to accentuate this for that day. So I braided them in 2 parts just after my bath, and let them dry to get this effect. A really natural look and perfect for summer if you ask my opinion. Definitely going to do it again. Did you like my look?

Spiegel | Online shopping

Jul242013

I recently discovered the e-shop Spiegel.com, through some well-known bloggers who’ve been raving about it, and I fell in love with some pieces of their collection. I searched through their classic collection, swim & travel collection, and summer essentials, and I found my 5 favorite pieces. I’m currently in love with jumpsuits, and cute little dresses. The first category is something I don’t currently own, and the 2^ndone, something I don’t own enough of. How many dresses are enough, anyway? When I looked at them, I realized, that they’re mostly black, but I don’t mind because my summer closet is otherwise full of colorful items. I’m mostly in love with the 2 jumpsuits, and the shirtdress. Which is your favorite item? Check out Spiegel.com, and tell me: can you choose only one item? I know I can’t.
