It is the season to be fashionably jolly!!

While I was in London for my interview I had the opportunity to go to Harrods and remember why I would love to become a visual merchandiser. The exceptionally elaborate window displays are inspired by the Disney princesses at the moment and it is impossible to walk by without stopping to admire them. I know that it is not the same like seeing them live but here is a small taste!

Dress for success

They say that you should not dress for the job you have but for the one you want. Last Thursday I had an interview in London and of course I was really nervous about the experience. I was really stressed about what I was going to wear because first impressions stay with people, especially when having an interview in a fashion company your image is even more important!
After careful thought and consultations with my sister, my friend Vaya and my boyfriend I decided to wear the outfit that you can see in the picture. The dress is Laura Ashley, the cardigan and tights from Primark, the shoes and purse from Zara and of course my Pandora charm bracelet.

We'll always have Paris

I have been to Paris twice and I have to say that I am very fond of the city! So many things to see, the food and the wine and of course the fashion make it a great place to be.
So I decided to always carry around Paris by buying this charm for my Pandora bracelet. The autumn collection of charms includes more landmarks of cities apart from the Eiffel Tower and I want them all!

A joyous occasion

Yesterday was a happy day for one of my best friends, Ada. She graduated from university and I happened to be here so of course there was no way I would miss sharing this special day with her!

You might recognize the shoes from a previous post. They are Marc by Marc Jacobs. My jeans are Calvin Klein Jeans. My handbag was a present from my sister last Christmas and it is Patrick Cox. My t-shirt is from Zara and the blazer from H&M. My pearl earrings are from Accesorize and the bracelet from an independent jewellery maker that I don't know the name of and I had bought it some years ago from a local shop that is no longer open :(

Chrysoula: The rock princess

My friend Chrysoula works in the music industry and usually wears black, purple and grey. Her hair is naturally curly and she is 1.79 m. high. The strongest feature in her body are her long, thin legs and she likes to accentuate them. Although she generally has a very relaxed, casual style including jeans, leggings and dress shirts, occasionally she likes to dress up.
Her blouse is from Massimo Dutti, her skirt from Stradivarius, her tights are from Calzedonia, her shoes from Promod, her watch from Folli Follie and her ring from Swatch.

Fashions come and go

The good thing about fashion is that although trends only last a season, sooner or later they make a comeback. So if you treat your things with respect and keep them in good condition you can store them and you are likely to be able to use them in a few seasons' time again. That is the case with these two purses. 

I bought the dog tooth check clutch a few years ago from Pull&Bear and my sister bought the fur purse from Zara. Both are still in good condition and they are back on trend!! So that means I can save money from purses and add it to my shoes and clothes budget ;)

Special shoes for special occasions

Well I am a big fan of shoes so they are always a very important part of my outfit and I am always considering how I will combine them with my clothes and accessories. But every now and then shoes matter even more. They can be a statement on their own.
When I was graduating from university, I decided not to buy a new dress since no one would be able to really see it underneath my graduation gown. But the shoes were a different story. They needed to stand out in a room full of people in black. So I went for this pair of from Zara that is lovely and I have had the opportunity to wear again ever since!
