Paris, Louis, Marc je vous aime!!!

When in Paris, life is surrounded by fashion. Walking down Champs-Elysees feels like you are in shopping paradise. I was in Paris last week and of course I visited the Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs exhibition in Les Arts Decoratifs. The museum is just next to the Louvre museum and it is very easy to reach by metro. The exhibition expands in two floors. On the first floor the work of Louis Vuitton is presented, the way he started, his trunks, his innovations, the fashion styles during his time. On the second floor the works and inspirations of Marc Jacobs as a creative director are presented, many handbags and also many catwalk looks, the collaborations with important artists. In Paris it doesn't matter if you are student when you are older than 25 so if you are older than that there is no discount. Also, there is no hologram like in the Louboutin exhibition to keep the boys occupied. However, my boy was not bored so I take that as a good sign. If you happen to be in Paris by mid September and you love fashion you definitely have to visit the exhibition!!! No photos allowed here as well and no guideline on the sketchbooks but I believe they are allowed.

Louboutin @London

Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum of London. If you are a shoe lover and you happen to be in London by the beginning of July I highly recommend it. Many of his designs, his influences and thoughts are present in this exhibition that celebrates the 20 years of the brand. If you are a student you get a discount ticket and the location of the museum is enough to convince you, next to Thames with a view of Tower Bridge. It is not allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition but sketchbooks are encouraged for the creative ones. Oh and it is not boring for the boys either, a hologram of Dita von Teese will keep them occupied ;)   

Butterflies on a rainy day

When the weather is like this then what can you wear so that you keep your feet warm and dry apart from wellies?? I know that they are not the chicest shoes ever and you wouldn't want to wear them everyday but they really come in handy in days like this. In order to give this rainy day a happy, positive spin I am wearing these short wellies from Accessorize. All the brands now offer wellies, from Primark to Gucci so find the ones that fit your style and budget!

The box of Pandora

My sister came to visit us over the weekend and it was Christmas all over again on Friday evening exchanging gifts!! For those who know a little about Greek mythology they might have heard about Pandora. She opened the box where all the pains and troubles were kept because of her curiosity and that is why people suffer from problems according to the myth. The phrase "the box of Pandora" is still used nowadays to show that an action can have many negative consequences. Luckily, the box of Pandora that I was given by my sister  had a very pleasant surprise: a charm bracelet from the well known jewelry brand with the first charm!! Now I can't wait to start buying more charms for it!!

Reading material

Finally the Easter break has come and I am free of assignments and get to read for pleasure for a while!!!Although next week I must start revising for the upcoming exams, it feels so good to be able to read books and magazines that are related to fashion but not academic, even for a few days!!Here is today's reading!

26 and fabulous Vol. 2

Having assignments to do really works up my appetite for updating my blog.  Now I am doing my last one but I promise that I will keep on posting new things. I have a whole summer to do my dissertation, that will definitely make me want to be distracted!
In my last post I presented the birthday gift that my friends gave me. Today it is time to present the birthday gift that my boyfriend gave me. An absolutely spring-summer full skirt from Primark that I can't wait to start wearing. Maybe next week that the Easter break starts and I will be able to leave the house again and enjoy the city as long as the weather allows it!

26 and fabulous!

          Two days ago it was my birthday and my friends Mirella, Vaso and Marylise surprised me at the uni with a sweet during the lunch break and a gift. As we are all fashion marketing students, the gift couldn't but be fashion related... The girls went for an envelope clutch and a small ballerina necklace, both from Accessorize, since they know how much I love purses and distinct necklaces. So I am sharing my lovely gifts with you! Can't wait to start wearing them!!
