EVENT: the new sLatchel

 You know I have got my teeth into Cambridge Satchel Company (here and here), so I'm a tough judge when it comes to other satchel bags.

But Lycsac, a Greek company, has created its own sLatchels and they are pretty good. They are quite affordable and mainly made from plasticated canvas.

Oh! And a little birdy told me that a Union Jack version is going to come out soon!

DIARY: new layout

Welcome to my new layout!

It's not such a great change, but little things do the difference! Agreed?

T-shirt: ZARA / Lace shorts: STRADIVARIUS / Flat sandals: ZARA / Bag: Balenciaga

Summer in the city? And by saying "city", I mean Athens.. And when you read "Athens", you translate it as HOT!

So what's better than a pair of shorts, a loose T-shirt and Grecian style flat sandals?

And because this outfit of the grey and black combination would be so blah, I added my blue precious for a playful touch.

What do you think?

EVENT: korres reality

 Do you remember when we were kids and visited big factories during school years? I just had a similar experience yesterday..

Korres team invited me among many other bloggers to explore their facilities and know more about their history.

You probably already know that Korres is a cosmetic brand that insists in the natural side of the products by using herbals and Greek yogurt. But let me tell you how the story begun. 

In 1992 George Korres opened his first pharmacy and some years later the brand was born as we know it today. Since then everyone can find Korres all over the world, inside great shopping malls, such as Harvey Nichols.

The products are made carefully, with every single detail to be taken seriously into consideration, and the factory has modern equipment to help the smooth operation.
I think that's why people love this brand, and that's why I do too.


Thank you so much all for this unique experience, I had a great time there!

LOOK: summer uniform

Jumpsuit: ZARA / Wedge sandals: DVF / Bracelet: COS / Necklace: STRADIVARIUS 

 When I'm thinking of a summer uniform, it always crosses my mind a piece of clothing that you can easily put on from the moment you wake up till the sun goes down just with a spin of the accessories.

That's exactly what this playsuit is for me! 

I can pair it with everything that already own in my closet and create hundreds of different looks. 

Even if I had to wear it every single day, still it would be giving me options.

EVENT: it's a map world

To be honest, I rarely enjoy presentations as much as I do when I'm attending Alviero Martini's showroom. It may be the whole abstract set up and the grey shades on the walls that make the map print of the brand popping out and the idea of travelling all around the world crossing my mind!

Here my favorite picks from the FW13 collection. Do you like them?
