The presentation of ZinaG collection at Sotris Kolonaki

Almost a month ago I was invited to the presentation of ZinaG collection at Sotris, Kolonaki. Zina Glou is a young Greek designer, born in 24/04/1990. At the age of 18 she chose to follow her passion for arts and design and therefore moved in Milan to study fashion design in the well known university, Instituto Marangoni. Three years later the designer moved in London where she concluded the circle of her studies with great success. Currently, she lives in Athens, where she has recently opened the official ZinaG boutique. Except for the boutique, you can also find her clothes at Sotris (Kolonaki-Golden Hall):

And don't forget the other collections, such as Topshop and TOMS:

Did I mention that we were served the best mojitos ever? Such a great event!

Nilaya spa: Reflect Summer

After a little absence, I'm back again and today I will tell you about my experience at Nilaya spa, Kifisia: I visited it in April because I was offered a full massage session, and here are the photos I took:

the reception

the ladies room

the double massage cabin (there are single ones, of course), in case you want to make a present to your special one

the jacuzzi

So, about my session: I chose the Nilaya massage, which is actually a compilation of different massage techniques. In general, I can't easily relax and I didn't expect much, but when I came out of the massage cabin I felt extremely calm and relaxed, I would certainly go again!

If you are already convinced that you need a special treatment at the Nilaya spa, I'd recommend to check out the Carrot Smooth Bronzing treatment, which is a must if you want to look stunning at the beach, the Nilaya Hot Stone and the Nilaya Crystal massage. And ask for Sissi, she has magic hands and knows exactly what to say to make you feel comfortable!

The Asian trend

How to rock the Asian trend: Straighten your hair. Wear a kimono over a plain black dress. Add black ballerinas and a tote bag for a casual outfit, or high heels and an envelope bag/purse for a night out. You are ready!

This is the casual option, it was early Sunday morning when I visited my boyfriend and I wanted my outfit to be as simple as possible, I didn't even wear accessories (except for earrings).

It was sunny and I actually couldn't open my eyes, and windy (that explains the crazy hair). And yes, I have a new haircut, thank you for noticing!

My news: Today is my boyfriend's birthday and we will spend the afternoon together, I'm looking forward to it. I also have something else to do before that. I won't reveal it now, be patient and you will find out!

Kimono: H&M
Dress: Bershka
Stockings: Calzedonia
Bag: Le Pandorine
Ballerinas: Migato

Which new designer was your favorite? Personally I liked Manus Gabriil (As you might remember, I met him in person in his show's make up rehearsal) and Maria Tagalou (She won the Mercedes-Benz fashion award for innovation and top aesthetic), they both are talented and promising designers.

13th AXDW- Day 3

On Sunday I visited the Athens Conference Center once again, because Mercedes-Benz Athens Xclusive Designers Week took place there. Except for the fashion shows, there were drinks and snacks, and of course some pop-up stores, such as Underground store and Patricia Field store:

The post about the AXDW shows will be published tomorrow, so stay tuned!
