Make your casual look interesting

We all love  feeling comfy in our casual outfits but  at the same time no one wants a boring look. Don't you agree? 

I' ve collected down some pieces, which according to A/W 15 trends are in fashion and tried to mix and match them in a way to make them look more interesting and- why not- more edgy!   

 The combination of the black leather skirt with quite colorful  trainers, apart from adding some colour and contrast to your totally black outfit, they make it look more trendy and fashionable. Don't be afraid to also mix and match the trends· the boho style fringe bag teams up nicely with the whole minimal outfit, giving it some fashion forward vibes!     

Stylish ways to wear your long coat this Winter

  The long coats are once more one of the  hot trends for the Autumn/Winter season. And though it might look easy to wear and style your coat, you have to be careful and have some things in mind before wearing and matching it up. Choosing the style of  the coat  which nicely suits your body, raises the possibilities of an even more impressive look. 

  Thankfully, the variety of coats this season is huge. Different coat styles, colours and lengths.  

Do you want a sexy and trendy look? Sophisticated or a casual one? Classic or minimal? 

  Let's have a look at some different looks and ways to wear and combine your coat with. 

A comfy and very stylish look.

 However, it is said the floor-length coat to be very dramatic and classy, with some very stylish 'adds' you can transform it into a very trendy and stylish look. Try wearing it with trainers and elegant accessories to elevate the look.

Sophisticated, minimal, chic, elegant are some of the strong characteristics of these handmade leather bags made by the Dutch Christiane Smit. She is graduated from the University of Arts in London, she worked with some of the most famous brands in fashion like Comme de Carçons, Armani, Yohji Yamamoto  and currently lives and works in Paros-Greece.

ZIP - ZAP the zippers/ Versa Versa bags

Think about the times you wished to be able to use the same handbag throughout the day and night. Or about the times you wished to have a magic wand and transform you handbag to match your mood and outfit. I would have personally wished, on several occasions, to owe one handbag that “changes” and adapts to the needs and expectations of both my day and night outfits and moods. If you wonder whether this would be possible, as I did before coming across these handbags, the Irish-Belgian accessory designer Sinead Shannon-Roche offers a brilliant solution. Aiming to address that she very often couldn’t find the ideal bag to match her personality, outfits and moods, Sinead launched her own luxury interchangeable handbag brand, “Versa Versa”, three years ago. Her handbags are handmade, produced with the finest Italian and French leathers and aim to satisfy women who want their desires fulfilled in one bag; to meet the expectations of women who feel unique and want to be able to jiggle between different styles and moods.

London Fashion Week /Day 1

London Fashion Week... First day .. at the opening of LFW. I have never been in such a big fashion event. To be honest I loved it, I was impressed, so many fashions shows the one after the other, so many people from the fashion industry,  fashion editors, stylists, photographers, bloggers .. and many people dressed up ..other fancy, other  crazy, other  chic...   but everyone was  so unique,   gaining the impressions of the crowd and the photographers / bloggers didn't stop  taking pictures of them! I tried to take some pictures of them too, as it wasn't so easy to follow and ask them to give you a straight-up photo,   but I got some ...   Have a look! 

smile, play ... and that's it..

A fantastic time, a photo shooting day with a lovely collogue, Carlota Santos, at Conde Nast! We really enjoyed our first styling shoot!  Our  model, Felix Burnett  and the photographer Eddie Wrey were  fantastic.  We wanted a playful and  an innocent shoot, we wanted our model to be a child again and play with the lollies, the pop corn and the bubble maker giving  and remind us happy childish moments.   

Here are the results .... Have a look ... :))) 

Straight up please...
