Some days ago I had the pleasure to attend the hair styling rehearsal for the Aida Athens Xclusive Designers Week show. It took place at Vassilis P. Diamantopoulos hair studio, Kifisia.

In the pic we can see Vassilis Diamantopoulos, his assistant, and the model, Sissy Papatsori. Sissy will be one of the models in today's show.

Of course, I asked the designer about the models' make up: It's all about thick eyeliner and pink lipstick.

As you can see, the hairstyle is romantic as well.

Laskaris AXDW show: The make up rehearsal


 photo DSC09871_zps49128dce.jpg

Some days ago I was invited to attend the make up rehearsal for the Laskaris Athens Xclusive Designers Week show. The make up was done with Make Up For Ever products, as always.
Let me show you the photos I took, just for you:

Let's meet the make up artist, Freddy Kalobratsos (FREDDY MAKE UP STAGE) and the model, Alicja Troushi.

 The make up mr Laskaris chose is inspired by the deep blue sea: He wanted the models to look like mermaids.

 photo DSC09882_zpsb021fd83.jpg

I also asked the designer about the hairstyle: He wants to create the impression that the sea breeze is blowing through the models' wavy hair.

 photo DSC09883_zpsa27e7fb7.jpg

Of course, I couldn't resist asking about the show: As you may know, mr Laskaris collaborated with Make a Wish organization to make young Fani's wish to be a fashion designer true: During his show he will present 3 dresses that Fani has designed (She will be wearing one of them in the show finale).

 photo DSC09888_zpsfd12b343.jpg

Except for that, there will be 25 female and 8 male models, and a big surprise in the finale (Sorry, I promised not to reveal details, but I can assure you that the show will be really interesting).

 photo DSC09889_zps034da3a5.jpg

The collection as you have guessed is inspired by the sea. In fact, when I asked mr Laskaris to give us a hint, he smiled and said: 'Imagine of the Mermaid, the sister of Alexander the Great'.

Back to the make up: Here is the final result, what do you think?

Innocence lost

It's been a long time since I published a post, but here I am again: The weather is really cold right now and I miss these warm days, when no coat was needed. Like that one:

When the weather is good I'm really into ethnic outfits, with a personal twist of course, like that ear cuff (a recent obsession) or the high waist skirt (an old love).

The Harry Potter Week


As you may know, Litsa and I are huge fans of Harry Potter. So, when we learned about the Harry Potter week at Cap Cap we knew we wouldn't miss it for the world. Fani, who loves the books as well, joined us. What do you say, are you ready to let the magic surround you?

After our lunch, we visited the bathroom to make some polyjuice potion. Thank God Moaning Myrtle wasn't there, she can be so annoying.

It's official. Enemies of the Heir Beware.

Li's outfit. She made the 'Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azcaban' necklace book especially for that day. The snitch is what we both bought from Cap Cap, I promise I'll wear mine soon.

There's a Platform 9 3/4 in Greece, too. But don't tell anyone, Muggles should never know about it.

'Gosh, I hope I'm not late again! Mrs Weasley will be so angry if we borrow the Flying Ford Anglia'

Aaand my outfit: I'm so into cropped tops lately.

Keep Luxin'

(A night out with Nikos and Fani) If you are familiar with League of Legends, you probably know Lux, the Lady of Luminosity. This H&M Conscious cropped top was love at first sight, I had to make it mine. The pair of high waist shorts is also from H&M, purchased with my press gift card. Finally, surprise surprise, my boyfriend's shirt is from H&M, it's so unique and adorable.
