First Middle-Eastern Experience

Happy Easter to all my Christian Orthodox friends!
Hi dear all. Sorry for missing for so long, the past week I was busy arranging the trip to Dubai. So far I don't have much to share with you. I had a nice experience flying with the Emirates, it was a long flight, almost 15 hours, but because the jet was well equipped, and every passenger had a small LCD tv in front I watched like 5 movies (Crazy Stupid Love, One week with Marilyn, The Abduction, Dauphin Tale, The New Years' Eve) and the time flew fast.
Like I mentioned before I don't have much to share at the moment just some views of my beautiful hotel suite, and a sunset pic, even though I was tired I couldn't resist not going checking on the beach, have a coffe and shish-ah on the patio at Atlantis and Jumeirah hotels, I said to myself sleep can wait. But more pics to come up tomorrow. Stay tuned.

50's retro style skirt

I have told you this before and I keep repeating: Zara is ridiculously popular, I mean look at me again, I am wearing the same T-shirt in the second post in a row. You would say I am missing originality or I don't change clothes, in fact I am a T-shirt lover, and this one seemed to work well with the skirt you saw in the previous post and with the one you see below which is also from Zara, it was love at first sight and is one of my favorite skirts ever. I always used to think that the full-fluffy 50's style looks the best on me, as I am not a tall girl with long legs, it gives a dolly and very feminine allure.
And now a bit of history about the retro style, that I found on the Unique Vintage website

'In the 1940’s, because of the war, there was a general moving away from fabulous dressing. The government asked the designers not to be wasteful, including using unnecessary amounts of fabric, materials and trimming. The bias cut, 1930’s silhouette slowly disappeared and was replaced with a new simplistic style. In the 40’s, attitudes about style and dress were becoming more and more casual. Dresses often had wide shoulder pads, a nipped in long waist and a full skirt that fell just below the knee. In 1947, Dior decreed skirts should rise only 12” or 15” off the ground with a nipped in waist and curved bust that he called the ”New Look”. . So the full skirt persisted in the 1950’s, just shorter this time, often at or above the knee.'

So I am very grateful to the 50's designers for not wasting material, for coming up with this simplistic but yet amazing style of dresses later on skirts that can be combined with T-shirts and not necessary blouses!

P.S: I guess you've noticed my new Marc Jacobs acquisition (sunnies), proud and very in love with it, the top frame is multicolor: yellow, white and grey.

Mint & Yellow madness

There are several reasons why I love the actual fashion trends that pop colors one after the other. Yellow, green, mint, flower or geometrical prints, they are all bright and calm at the same time, attract attention and make me feel good.
Even for sunnies I went for yellow mixed with white and grey, I'll show you the new pair that in the next post.
Meanwhile enjoy the Easter holidays close to your beloved ones; eat, laugh, make your souls happy.

What about some trendy baby chickens?

Going green

So I was telling you last week about my latest passion - the jumpsuits, and I was also telling you that I ordered two of them on Asos. So here we go, I received and tried them on right away, and it seems they fit even better than I expected. The one you see below it's even brighter than it looked on the web-site catalogue. It looks like this time the online shopping turned out to be a surprisingly nice experience. Well, Asos is a good one most of the times, because of its loyal customer care policy, free shipping, free of cost returns, and obviously its wide and excellent variety.
What is your verdict?

P.S: The title is 'Going green' but not only for the color of the outfit, it's spring, nature revives, we should really go green in several ways, especially in the way we treat our environment. 

Spikes and Yellow!

The other day we had a small yard-sale in the office building. Lots of goodies, ... danger for my wallet. Anyway, I tried to behave, held my breath and chose just a few pieces: a bracelet, a necklace and a pair of earrings, it seems I matched the spikes up.
Later the same day I went to the mall, at the moment I am facing a big mission, finding a dress for my friend's (Lucia) wedding, I have to admit this is the most difficult task I've had lately. And because I did not have any luck in finding the magic dress, and because I can never go home with empty hands I couldn't resist to get this beautiful yellow clutch from BCBGeneration, which immediately became my best accessory for the last 2 days.
Now weekend is almost gone, but it seems for Sunday I will try a new sport: Paintball, wish me luck, 'cuz most probably everybody is gonna paint me down!
