Woven in Venice

A denim shirt can look well with pretty much anything so the print pencil skirt was not the exception. If you think it is too plain just add accessories that will catch the attention such as the interesting backpack (Phoebe the cat seems to like it too), the handmade earrings and the simple yet pretty ring.

Butterflies and flowers

As I have said in the past mixing and matching your prints is a yes-yes for me so I include it regularly on my outfits. Why don't you just give it a try? If you are scared it will look too much just follow my lead on this one and only mix them on the upper half of your outfit keeping the rest print free.

• Wood cat ring: no brand, given to me as a present

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.

Stars and poems

Scarfs are the perfect accessory now that the weather is getting chillier. They can protect you from the lower temperatures and also add to your outfit. Combine a hat and it is a fact that you will make an impact wherever you go. 

• Grey dress with stars and hearts print: ASOS CURVE
• Black ankle boots: ASOS
• Large pink quilted bag: DKNY
• Pink scarf with handmade print/ grey felt fedora hat: BONNE

Denim and piggy

Continuing with the handmade creations it is time for another bag. I know you probably think I am addicted and you wouldn't be wrong. I just find it very hard to say no to a bag that I really like, as long as I can afford it. In my quest for quirky I came across this cutie that I just could just not resist. So here is the piggy bag styled in a way to catch all the attention of the outfit!

• Denim button shirt: ASOS CURVE
• Black tank top/ skinny jeans: PRIMARK
• Nude ballet flats: ASOS
• Necklace: MACY'S
• Handmade palm piggy bag: no brand, bought from a street vendor in Oaxaca

Cats and knit

I have decided that this week, all the outfits posted will include one item of clothing/accesories handmade. Yesterday it was the woven backpack, today it is the knit shawl. Now that the weather is getting chillier a shawl can really be useful early in the morning and in the evening after sunset. Using one made of t-shirt yarn is ideal for the kind of temperature we are having and it is bound to catch the attention.

• Black dress with cat portraits print: MODCLOTH
• Beige gold sneakers: MYTHEO
• Tan, black and white colourblock handbag: ZARA
• Black earrings: no brand
• Black and white knit infinity shawl: BONNE

Woven and sparkles

I might love me a designer's bag but that doesn't mean I am not intrigued by beautiful handmade things I come across. So while wandering the streets of Oaxaca, I found this wonderful backpack that I just had to have. 

• Black and white striped dress: TARGET
• Black sparkly sneakers: CARVELA KURT GEIGER
• Mint and pink woven backpack: VIANNEY MÉNDEZ (found in Oaxaca)
