Cats and blazers

The majority of outfits can be magically turned into a look for the office by putting on a blazer. There is something about blazers that makes you look like you mean business. Even when your dress is full of cats!

Karlito by the beach

A simple dress and a pair of casual sandals can be transformed with the right accessories. Sequins, pearls and tassels are guaranteed to give your look a fancier touch and get all the attention. If someone tells you that sequins and pearls are meant to be used in formal occasions, prove them wrong and wear the outfit all day long! There are no rules in fashion as long as you feel pretty and comfortable with what you are wearing!

Assos in crochet and pearls

While in Kefalonia we were discussing with my sister how different fashion rules apply when on vacation. I am not sure that this is the case everywhere but when on a greek island in the summer time, it is very normal to see people walking around on their bathing suits and nothing else anywhere at any time of the day. I am not brave enough to walk around just on my swimsuit but it did give me the confidence to go around Kefalonia wearing just a pair of shorts and a crochet top on top of my suit.

• Black crochet top: no brand, handmade

White, coral and flowers

Looking good doesn't have to cost you a fortune! I admit I like buying more expensive handbags occasionally because they can last longer so it is worth investing but when it comes to clothes that trends come and go quickly I like to look for very accessible pieces that I feel I can make the most of such as this dress. 

• Long white dress with floral print: ROSS
• White heeled sandals: ZARA
• Coral handbag: NINE WEST
• Black sunglasses with white pearls: LENTES RETRO MX

And the collection continues

Just when I thought that it was time to stop buying new sunglasses for a while, there I go buying another pair. I promise it was not intentional. Last week I went to a fashion show and there were some booths of young creators and brands there so I decided to take a look. One of these booths was a local brand that sells a large variety of sunglasses. I was there for a while checking the various models and then my eye caught these ones. I was offered to try them on but at the beginning I thought I should resist myself so I said no thank you. But then the owner mentioned that they had a very special price for that occasion only so it was very hard to resist myself. I tried them on and I convinced myself that another pair, especially a particular one like this, would do no harm.

As a friend told me yesterday sunglasses are an accessory, so as I couldn't really say I have enough rings or necklaces (not even handbags haha) I can't just have enough pairs of sunglasses :)
