Outfit of the day...Hey there



Shirt: H&M
Shorts: Mango
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
Bag: Celine
Ancient Greek Sandals: Alethea
Necklace: Accessorize

Love it? Yep. This is completely me. My typical choice of clothes which often lacks exciting colours is clearly depicted above. Don't get me wrong. I love colours but I always tend to pick the 'plainer' colour options for MYSELF.
It is often the case that me and my bestie pick the same thing in a shop while I usually pick up the black/navy/white version she is already trying on the orange, green and yellow one! 

The Celine bag is what I have my eye on at the moment but judging by the places I am planning to visit this summer...I might put it on hold (p.s mum I know what I want for X-mas already :P )

My ethnic origin is reflected on my footwear choice. You can stumble on so many of these in the wonderful Greek islands, it is a MUST buy if ever on holiday there. Until then though, stick to something like Alethea for this cool pair.

Denim shirt & Ray Ban Wayferers - Enough said.

Tifanny-esque necklace at a very affordable price at Accessorize. Pick yours up now!

Anyway...I hope you like :)

Silver lining...




I am going through the phase where I only want to wear silver. It is absolutely elegant and matching everything. 
Thought these were some cute little pics of some silver pieces just lying around.

90s Denim


I bought this COOL denim washed out backpack recently and have had a lot of compliments! I think it adds a lot of style to any outfit and is very 90s -esque
Get yourself one from Urban Outfitters or a more affordable one from none other than Primark.

Outfit of the day...Be a lady


It may have come a couple of months too late but at least it is here. The sun is out and we can finally take our sandals and hats out of hiding.

Top: Zara 
Trousers: Zara Buy Here
Earrings: Vintage Chanel
Clutch: Givenchy
Shoes: Bershka Buy Here
Hat: French Connection

French  elegance is what this outfit brings to mind. 
Chic ecru palazzo trousers with a winning striped rich cropped top both from Zara of course. 
Team with summery orange/cream sandals and a matching Givenchy clutch.

The ladylike French Connection hat makes an effortless 1940s fashion statement. 
Do not forget to rummage through your mother's old things and find a pair of vintage Chanel earings like these. Good times.
Finish with a mani and pedi with matching nail polishes from none other than Nars.

Outfit of the day...



Dress: Zara
Shoes: Zara
Jacket: Zara
Clutch: Asos
Nail Polish: Opi Nail Lacquer
Ear Cuff: River Island

Ok so this may be a little bit of a Zara overdose but what can I do? I heart Zara!
Elegant yet edgy. This outfit is bound to keep all eyes on you.

A simple yet very flattering Zara dress brilliantly jazzed up with the right accessories. The glamorous cream wedges and cream Asos clutch make for the perfect 'drinks' outfit.
The jacket not only looks amazing but also feels so luxurious and at a high street price, it is a bargain that I will not resist!
Finish off with this nail colour from Opi Nail Lacquer and this ear cuff from River Island.
Done! Now lets order a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon!

Lust list...



WOW! REEBOK TRAINERS
My mum has a white pair somewhere in storage from when I was a baby. 
I remember them so well as being her gym shoes. 
Little did I know, twenty something years later, I would want a nearly identical pair in baby pink! 
These will make a massive comeback. I can feel it!
I am ordering them tonight! What do you think?

Outfit of the day...(OMG dungarees)


Dungarees: River Island Buy Here
T-shirt: H&M Buy Here
Beanie: American Apparel Buy Here
Bracelet: Asos Buy Here
Clutch: Zara Buy Here
Shoes: Zara Buy Here

How in love am I with this look?
I am a little apprehensive about denim dungarees in general but when it comes to black evening ones I am totally in love. Long trousers, shorts or skirt ... it is all good for me. As long as it is black.  
Now these overalls are probably my favourite. They are from River Island and are 100% my style.

This new H&M t-shirt is so cool and its oversized and baggy nature makes the outfit so stylish.

The beanie is American Apparel and I as I have mentioned before, there is a massive range of  colours so take a look for yourself.

This ASOS bracelet adds a touch of sweetness to the outfit.

Zara's ethnic clutch  is an accessory you do not want to live without. It is so colourful and busy yet matches everything and is perfect for the summer months!

Finished off with these beautiful black heels from none other than Zara to make this look effortlessly CHIC

The outfit almost contradicts itself with the elegance of the heels and clutch and sports luxe vibe of the t-shirt and beanie. That is what I love about it. I am generally obsessed with mixing many styles in one outfit to keep it more interesting. So I love wearing a statement sparkly necklace with a camo t-shirt or a pair of stunning stilettos with a great pair of black tracksuit pants (Think Carrie SATC)

Hope you like,

Too cool for school...





OK. So I was in Camden Town for a fun day out the other day and spotted this very lovely man. I just had to ask if I could photograph him. Turns out he is very much involved with fashion and blogs. Not surprised to be honest! Especially loving the tattoo and rings.

Outfit of the day...



Trousers: Balenciaga
Shoes: New Balance
Top: Leon & Harper
Cap: New Era
Ring: Dorothy Perkins


This look just oozes COOL.
Sports Luxe!!
These leather Balenciaga trousers are to die for and are teamed with this amazing Leon & Harper top! Such a simple design but with a twist.

The ring is Dorothy Perkins and is one of many lovely rings they have! I think this one matches the essence of this outfit.

The flat peak cap trend is one of my personal faves and I love New Era ones. I really want to buy a baby pink one. This is a classic black one which helps add the sport lux vibe. I would love to have one in every colour.

Last but certainly not least, these New Balance sneakers add a splash of colour and a tonne of style! 

I always say that the shoes are the most important part of any outfit and essentially determine an outfit's direction and potential. 
This pair is exactly what this outfit needs! L.O.V.E

Simple but perfect!

Outfit of the day...


Shirt: Zara
Bag: Zara
Leggings: Lipsy
Shoes: Topshop
Beanie: River Island
Earings: New Look
Ring: Debenhams

I absolutely love this outfit. SO irresistible. The monochrome PLUS the electric blue is just perfection.

Can be worn for lunch, work, drinks and pretty much everything. The Topshop shoes are high but totally comfortable and most importantly they scream FASHION. They match perfectly with the Topshop clutch and Debenhams ring to complete the look.

The shirt is so cool and looks and feels like a thousand bucks but instead is affordable and you can buy now at Zara! 
River Island have a brilliant range of beanies which fit all styles so I think you guys should take a look! I couldn't even pick my favourite last time I visited the store.

Lovely black classic leggings from Lipsy and VOILA...
The perfect outfit!

Just Saying...


It is April Fool's Day today!
Happy April everyone! 
We only live once! Remember that. 
So what do you want this month to be like?

Outfit of the Day



Clutch: Hermes
Hat: Topshop
White Vest: Topshop
Shirt: Zara
Lipstick: Barry M
Sunglasses: Monki
Scarf: Alexander McQueen
Trousers: Avenue32.com
Ring: Oscar De La Renta
Bracelet: Cartier

An otherwise plain outfit perfectly styled with some key accessories.

Firstly, I fell in love with this Hermes clutch. This shade of red is my favourite and its design screams class and style in a very simplistic manner. 

I love this hat from Topshop. I think it is my next buy. I tried it on the other day and loved so I think that will soon become my new best friend. The white vest is also so romantic and girly.

This beautiful shirt from Zara is so simple yet by missing a collar, it instantly becomes so feminine and unique.

Re lipstick is great on all of us. The secret is to find the right shade for you. I am a big fan of this Barry M number.

White sunglasses TICK. Round retro sunglasses TICK. Get your hands on a pair from Monki.

Alexander McQueen scarves are classic and recognised. This particular one is one of my favs because it is a little more discreet. 

Simple skinny black trousers can be found everywhere nowadays. THere are from Avenue32.com

Now I know the ring and the bracelet are not that affordable to say the least...but a girl can admire and a girl can dream. Cartier & Oscar De La Renta, just stunning.

This is the outfit of the day which I hope will inspire you too!

Happy Easter!


Eat lots and lots of chocs and just ENJOY!!!

Today I am loving...


Sunglasses: Replay
Black Sandals: Steve Madden
Gold Sandals: YSL
Ring: Aldo
Beanie: American Apparel
Rucksack: Urban Outfitters
Bralette: H&M
Nail Polish: Nars
Bag: Chanel
Watch: Seiko


I am loving anything vintage looking especially sunglasses. These Replay sunnies are perfect for the Nicole Richie look. 

Also obsessed with these Steve Madden and YSL sandals. Totally looking forward to the 'good weather' season.

Fell in love with this ring when I saw it in Aldo. Also available in gold. Perfect!

The orange beanie is one of the many amazing beanies at American Apparel. They have some of the best beanies out there in my opinion. 

Urban outfitters is embracing the rucksack mania and this denim version is one of my favourites.

I also have an addiction to lace bralettes and soft bras. I have bought so many lately and they are so comfortable. This one is H&M. You can find so many there and at very good prices.

Red and white nail polish. Absolute faves! It is either one or the other for me at the moment and NARS are totally cool. 

Chanel is a timeless classic. I dont think I even need to elaborate. L.O.V.E always.

Lastly, Seiko are experts in watches and have such beautiful taste. Really loving the gold watch. STILL.
