Update your calendars, they are getting closer.

Going luxury

Another collaboration for H&M, the usual buzz going on. "I think that I loved the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public..." says Alber Elbaz. Err...

Also:
Special presentation for this collection. To be shown through a movie, released on November 2nd.

Good to my jeans

Back in the city and if jeans could walk, mine would be shaking their tail behind the door whilst I turned the key. With calendar featuring 'September' and tonight's breeze, it seemed right to take them for a walk. Jeans on - I must be back in the city then.

Excuse the recent absence, work had the best of me the minute I stepped back on mainland. Hope you all had an exciting Summer. Hello Autumn;)

The opposite of accessorize

After shocking people at the beach in these, let me shock you too by the lack of accessories in this raspberry moment of mine. With temperatures reaching my limits, even my tiny pearl earrings felt too much so they were fast removed along with necklace and bracelets. Does it look strange? Does it really matter? Well it felt good.

Speaking of lack of accessories, there's a certain kind I can't live without (literally?!) these days.
Officially a fetish ladies.

That dress

Not even sure if this is a dress. But do you remember those fringe summer dresses that were oh-so-summer-fever once upon a time? This is as close as it gets. I used to have a pink one as a kid. It's only kid sizes you get at souvenir stores these days. I swear I'd buy them in every colour of the rainbow had they made a come-back.

Random tip: aegean winds tend to be quite strong this time of the year. If your hair is long like mine, it will fly like mad all over the place. So you clip it. But then it flies with the clip on it and that wasn't the effect you were looking for. Clip it safely on your strap then! There. Now it's gonna stay nicely in place. Looks interesting too.

Random emergency: my skin must be sun-proof. Mid-August and where is my tan? I've switched sunblock to baby oil and I am eating enough carrots to put Bugs Bunny to shame. Any ideas? Urgent.

Strigles rubber ducklings

Flip-flops customized by Strigles, they just make my day.
A fun accessory sprinkled with good vibes always does and this brand is loaded.

Strigles blogs too, have you seen? All the wonderful stuff she makes and does are here.

Antoni&Alison for Glamour Uk!

For the big fan of Antoni & Alison I am, this is such a mind-blowing exclusive to be hosting - for my side of the world at least. Seems like Glamour UK is planning to start Autumn with a fun, local approach and if you put fun next to fashion, there's none better to work with than the House of Mr & Mrs Antoni & Alison.

Eight limited edition tees have been designed by the UK based duo for Glamour's first ever regional issues. Specially created to reflect the mood of each city and modelled on the cover by Katy Perry in her own special way, they will be among us this September - or late August, glossies are early birds.
The special tees will be available from Antoni&Alison's website for one month only and are made to order. Got a favourite certain part of the UK? Here's a brilliant way to show your love in style. Love A&A? Start collecting! Here's how they went from drafts to flesh:

Some finalised sketches. Simple, clear and loud:

*Looking forward to seeing how regional approach works out for print.

Surfing & surfing

The other day these kids shook the beach with their invention, a surf board dragged by a fishing boat. They were giggling for hours, falling off, stirring the water. Looked like so much fun! Which reminded me...

...about a lifetime ago, I've had a taste in San Sebastian, though the waves were no fishing boat (have never drunk so much sea water -possibly small fish too!- in my life).

Didn't care much about what we wore as long as it took us to the beach. Well, life's got humour: these days surfing to me is being online, posting about clothes.

Where have I put that boogie board I wonder.

Monday blue

'Monday' earrings - divided, dress - atmosphere, bangle - (err..not sure), shoes - anastazi bournazos, map (!) - paper tablecloth covering every taverna table in Paros (thought some of you might like to do location spotting of previous posts)

Are there Mondays when on holiday?
