The Swarovski 'Secret Treasures' event

Some days ago I attended the Swarovski 'Secret Treasures' event at Evdomos, Syntagma. We had the chance to preview the Fall/Winter 2013-2014 collection, which is inspired by the Silk Road: From China to the Himalayas and from India to Venice. Of course, I took some pictures for you, to see how beautiful is the new collection by yourselves:

Doukissa Nomikou was the hostess of the evening, in the pic you can see her presenting to us the Swarovski collaboration with Shourouk, a Parisian designer of Tunisian descend:

And finally, a picture of Nikos and me. We tasted yummy finger food and sparkling wine and the music was great. We had a blast, a big thank you to Maria and Christina for the beautiful evening. As always, looking forward to the next Swarovski event!

I saw you out there yesterday, what did you wanna say?

These pics were taken one month ago, right before my trip to Belgium. Right now I'm studying and looking forward to OZON's big summer party! Who else is attending?

About the outfit: I'm not actually the bohemian type of girl, but I really enjoy adding ethnic details to my outfits, like I did to this one: I added an ethnic print bag I bought at the Fullah Sugah bazaar and ethnic accessories (the ring is from India).

Top: Bershka

Skirt: Zara

Shoes: Vekelidis

Bag: Fullah Sugah

Bracelet: Accessorize

Cardigan, Earrings, Ring: Vintage

The presentation of ZinaG collection: My outfit

And this is what I wore at the presentation of ZinaG collection at Sotris: The top is a birthday present from my boyfriend and I must have worn it like a hundred times already, hehe. I also wore my new statement necklace, which was love at first sight.

My news: I spent the Greek Easter in Belgium with my relatives (posts coming soon) and last Friday my best friend surprised me, she came in Greece (she studies in Germany at the moment) for one week. We visited Sounio together (you guessed right, another post is coming soon). Ah, and my Sunday will be all about animal physiology: I have a dozen reports to do, because I was being a little lazy this semester (don't tell anyone!)

Top: H&M
Pants: Bershka
Bag: Zara
Pumps: Envie
Necklace: Claire's

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!
