A series of unfortunate events!

All day today I was surfing in and out of my blog (which is like a baby to me)!

Tonight I entered my account and realized I have no pictures...!!
DAMN IT what happened?
I have absoFUCKINGlutely no idea!!!
I've lately been using photobucket to upload images larger than the typical blogger ones!
My photobucket account was magically erased between 7.00 and 12.00 today at 10/7/2009!
I have already e-mailed the photobucket people, and I am waiting for a responce, YET I am quite sure I 've lost the images.
I promice I am gonna upload them again all one by one, starting from Monday!!!
Now I'll keep thinking several scenarios...that for example someone who really hates me or this blog hired a hacker to delete my photobucket account...!

If anyone knows something more, is willing to help retrieve my past account, or at least knows a more secure way to upload large images in blogger I will appreciate it if he/she will comment on this post any short of advice!!!

I AM ALL THREE IN ONE!!!

DAMN YOU BAD LUCK!

*Special thanx to Haritini from Soho symposium for the precious help!

Nonsence...

I always thought I have a thing for flamingos!
...I was probably wrong, my new IT animal is the one with the coolest permanent print on it.

ZEBRA!
The fact that this is the second zebra-related post (here's the first one) establishes the existence of a serious obsession of mine, that couldn't leave my wardrobe unaffected...!
So I can only guess that a shopaholic Zebra, with a thing for flowers designed this pattern for Zara, which was printed, later-on, on the skirt I bought from there some months ago!

To be honest there no zebra-print on the skirt, it's actually a typical leaf-flowery pattern with the exception of having black & white leafs instead of traditional green ones.
However it did inspire a zebra post (God I wrote the word Zebra like a ZILLION times in this post) and I can keep blabbering about it but it'll just be getting duller by the time and then, reasonably enough, you're gonna stop reading this blog...!

Nobody got struck by lighting, just saying...



I was wearing this outfit while watching Ice Age @ the movies(and illegally eating KFC...shhh!).
An invitation for drinks downtown took me out of my comfy havaianas & put me in my MJ mise/jellies.


Awwhh, look at them starring at you...heartbreaking... :P

Ok this post doesn't really make any sense so let's move to the outfit credits...

skirt:Zara, white tank: Zara, black tank: Intimissimi, belt: MNG (oldie)

Sooo..!

You may check me out picking the model's clothes up..YAOOZA!

*I promised backstage material, and I have it, yet, that day I forgot my camera's memory on my laptop (DAMN), and I am having trouble transferring photos from my phone (lost the usb somewhere in the piles of clothes.. AGAIN)

Waldo's revenge!

Where's Waldo?

Found him yet?

SPOTTED! Waldo wearing new glasses!
He actually sprayed black paint over his all-time round vintage glasses because he decided that everybody's looking for him & he's more of a celebrity than:

Mary-Kate Olsen


Nicole Ritchie


and Danny Robert's Illustrations...

...thus he needs more coverage!

Hiding isn't much of a money maker, so he couldn't afford Channel and apparently he's a sucker for DIY projects.

I, huge Waldo's fan, average money maker, and less into DIY, found those Channel copy-cuts, last year, somewhere in my favorite place, Zara...!
Half-half and quite glamorous, I simply couldn't resist buying a Nicole Ritchie's passion item embarrassed by a beloved cartoon of mine...!!


I shall check my family tree, me & Waldo MUST be related...!

You look like "Where's Waldo" in the picture, stylish "guy"! You have to take me to this vintage glasses store "Glasses Paradise"! Irrelevant!

....and they lived happily ever after!!!

Shopping is easy! I do it ALMOST everyday, and I enjoy my unhealthy habits!
SHOPPING FOR AN OCCASION though, can be extremely tricky, even for the most experienced shopper AKA, ME!
The occasion is not difficult to guess, entails white long dress, a cake with plastic people on it, and a sea of heels & stilettos!
Guessed already?
Yeap, I had a wedding to attend!
Most people just buy a dressy dress and they are off the hook!
For me it was a whole process as most of the times the way I am dressed defines my mood, and the vibes I am sending.
NO, I'm not crazy or anything I just mean it in terms of : sexy, romantic, fierce etc. & don't get me wrong but I can tell a lot by how people are dressed.
SO...to the point!
I spent many days reading piles of magazines (finding NOTHING), and an exhausting day at the Mall where I literally ruined a pair of shoes, narrowing my options down to 3 dresses!


L to R: See by Chloe, M Missoni, 5226 by C. Kritharioti.

• Chloe: My size was missing!
• 5226-C.Kritharioti: Too much out there, and the fabric was too stiff. (+I had I mind what stella wrote about those dresses...)
• M Missoni: SCORED!

Cute, romantic, nice colours, AND multifunctional (serves skirt duties as well!!!)

So there I was, hours before the wedding, dress and shoes all set, but still obsessing over which clutch fitted perfectly.


Dress & Clutch #1 (Reiss)

Clutch #2 (TOPSHOP)

Clutch #3 (Obvious...*Smiley face*)

I've already introduced you to those babies a post ago...

AND nails done (by me...) rare phenomenon!

Seeing the pictures I realize that the Reiss and hot pink clutch were the best options, yet I ended up with the miu miu one. The camera space won me over, and (I don't deny it) it's hard to ignore something new over relatively "old" stuff.

The looks:

Here I am, all dressed up with two beloved friends (who have no idea about this blog...I think, so the face-over). You may also check my suffering feet, proving me (once more) right on that I am a flat(shoe)-person.
As for the event, remember when you attend those weddings where boredom makes time stop, and you wish you were dipped in a pop-corn bowl watching the silliest movie?
THIS WAS NOTHING LIKE IT!
We partied till we dropped (the groom dropped first...)!

...couple was gorgeous, this was the first wedding I didn't actually wanna shoot my brains out, so....may they live happily ever after....!!

ADDICTION

Remember my "Shop-porn" post where I simply ... couldn't resist???
This time I entered a shoe store looking for something SPECIFIC, and once more....

I COULDN'T RESIST!


Leather+Tan+Chunky: That was the SPECIFIC I was looking for!

No words, design marvel (...AND with a touch of pink): COULDN'T RESIST(1)!

Studs&Bows all in one, what more can I say?: COULDN'T RESIST(2)

No words: COULDN'T RESIST (3,4,5,6,7,8,9.......)

The only "old" thing in the picture are those vintage shades, bought from the best vintage store in Europe, selling glasses exclusively...Mr. Mimi's "Fountain of Glasses"

I AM SICK...SERIOUSLY!
...yet all those babies are now home....MY HOME....!

+I haven't forgot about the post from my fashion show backstage experience, I am just stuck in technicalities...coming up soon though...PROMISE!

SPECIFIC: haralas
COULDN'T RESIST (1): haralas
COULDN'T RESIST (2): Simple Character/Mall
COULDN'T RESIST (3,4,5,6,7,8,9.....): Accessorize (most), Bangles:Oysho

Cats STOP IT!

Have you heard?

C. from Fashion paths, and Greek designer Vasso Consola are Cat Fighting...!!!

You haven't? How come?

Check it out here, and here, AND here, AAAAND there!!

Scandal started with this photo:

Marc by Marc Jacobs VS Vasso Consola

Ok the similarity is striking (pattern wise) , and C. obviously had a point, BUT the designer, in her try to defend herself insulted the entire fashion blogger's community with no reason.
What a silly move!
C's blog isn't that famous yet, few Greek blogs are.
In Miss Consola's shoes, I would have tried to reduce attention on the matter.
She on the contrary did anything possible for the world to find out about the twin dresses!
Plus, just because fashion bloggers may turn into the fiercest creatures when united, the designer's points lost credibility within all those angry posts!

After all, crowds crucified Jesus, how could a poor designer get away, with not even the holly spirit on her side...!!!

As for my opinion on this fuzz, and because I love anything intriguing, I believe that both C. and Miss Consola were benefited by this confrontation.
As a marketing graduate, I learned my lesson on how there's no such a thing as bad publicity.
So girls: shake hands, take reconciliation pictures, and watch Miss Consola's next fashion show cheek to cheek.
When you do, make sure to send some pics my way.
I, the peacemaker (as I wanna declare myself on the matter) will publish them to show-off how civilized Greeks (STILL) are..!!!
