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!

Karavomylos with fringe and ice cream

Although in my everyday life I like big handbags that can fit even a goldfish in a bag (if you are not a huge FRIENDS fan like myself probably you don't get the reference) when I am on vacation I find that only a small cross body bag that fits the basic is more than enough for me. And if it is fun, quirky and cute even better for an island escape.

We're cool for the summer

Now that summer is here (at least where I live), shorts are a good way to create casual looks that keeps you fresh and comfortable. Just like their long brothers, denim shorts are a basic that can be combined with anything. Just put an interesting top and a pair of colourful sandals and you are ready to enjoy your days!

The greeks in Oaxaca

I thought it would be a great idea to create a 100% greek outfit and contrast it with the colonial architecture of the centre of Oaxaca. But then I was lucky enough to have access to one of the ateliers of Dr Lakra, internationally renowned artist who resides in the city. So it was a privilege for me to use as a background a wall that he has painted himself with his art. So enjoy the merge of greek fashion and Mexican contemporary art.

The kaftan and the fringe

I am a fool for a dress with an eye-catching print in a simple cut. And if it also makes me feel comfortable and lets me move around without any trouble, then it is mine!

Denim and fringe

The weather report says that this weekend is going to be very hot so I say shorts and sandals are a must in order to survive!

Fringe and flowers

I don't normally take selfies but since my official photographer/fiancé is not with me on my vacation in Greece this will have to do. Sandals are the best footwear option for a summer vacation and this pair happens to be very comfortable and the kind that you can combine with anything and can get you through the whole day.

Any big plans for the weekend? A floral dress and a bold fuschia lipstick will do :)

Somewhere over the rainbow

Maybe there is not as much colour as you are used to see with me but I decided to play with the different fabrics and textures. Oh and there is a beautiful rainbow on the background to help make the outfit prettier ;)

Casual Saturday

On Saturday we had a barbecue with friends so the dress code was casual. But it was the perfect opportunity for me to use my new sandals. The sandals are beautiful, comfortable and handmade in Greece by Liza Casulli. However you can buy them wherever you are in the world via Liza's online store at Etsy.com.
