Big Weekend in Athens Day 1 (Cosplay cafe)

And I say... I'm bored of seing myself on those pages, and so might you. So I'm thinking of doing things differently...starting today.

This is a very interesting weekend in Athens because so many things are happening (some I don't even know yet). It's fashion week, the Meet Market is on Saturday and many other events are happening. Like, for instance, the maid cafe I discovered today.

See, I was in Fnac looking for some new book when I heard some loud J-pop coming from the back of the shop. Since I'm crazy about Japan myself (I wanted to be a mangaka when I was 14 and I still draw manga today) I went there and saw...a maid cafe. You know, the girls with the ultimate french maid outfits, with all those ribbons and bows, and the cute socks... I love them. Plus, from what I've heard, there must be a cosplaying crew in Athens... Things have been going on in this town...

Cute maids with lace outfits and pretty socks
The "Masters" are being served
kimonos and cat ears

For those of you who like that kind of look, I'd suggest you to read Gothic & Lolita Bible or the manga Kaichou wa Maid-sama. I'll be back soon...

This was a pretty nice day, I just learned that I get three happy-go-lucky days (an unexpected vacation). About the look, a nice leopard touch is what every boring black look needs. Plus I love, love, love the colour of the cardigan...yay!

I love, love, love the first picture. Both Maria and I are being unique and ourselves, even by standing together. Hope u like my dress :) (you can't see the best part though)

What about shoes??

"We all thank "Sex and the city", because it helped women aknowledge their obsession with shoes", a wise woman once said. Just be honest: don't you have a shoe fetish? Aren't your shoes your best pals?
I was actually a late (shoe) bloomer. Oh no, correction. I did have a boot addiction. I've been collecting them since I was 12 and have 11-12 pairs right now. Black, pink or white, leather or suede, stretch or fluffy, I loved them all. But I my interest for high heels came later. It was with my first pair of wedges. They were turquoise mules. I could barely walk in them and they made me huge (I'm pretty tall and they had 10cm heels), but I still went out with them on a few times. Then, wedges went out of fashion and my big love with CAMPER's started. I still buy a pair of campers from time to time. They're comfortable and cute, plus I've tried running with them on and it really works. But I still like other kinds of shoes, my favorite two being a pair of black repetto tango heels and some very sexy strappy Vivienne Westwood by Melissa. Those are some of my shoe experiences, but since this is a huge topic, there will be a sequel to this article :)

U can only hope for a cocktail

Shoes, Camper


One day, I found this jacket in mum's closet. I learned then that she and my grandma wore it quite often in the 80's. Since I like wearing my granny's clothes and shoes (the pearls are her's too) I chose it for a relaxed evening in the most amazing bar on the seaside of Arkoudi (guess what, the name means bear in Greek :p). Who wouldn't love a cocktail near the sea?

The chap

Doesn't the hat look like it's made for him???

I'm just resting, but Who are you stranger?

Hats

Hats...I love hats!!!They are every seasons best final touch for a stunning look. Whether they're top hats, big straw hats or feathery ones they look amazing with the right outfit. I admit, I wear them just 'cause they're beautiful and not to protect my head from the rain, sun etc, but in the winter they keep my head warm and in the summer they keep it cool; one more reason to like them. This Winter, I'm planning on wearing mom's black velvet witch hat. Can't wait for people's reaction out there :p
