With makeup we are all getting creative and artistic. The more you practice, the fancier and more sophisticated the results. In the beginning, you train yourself on how to draw a cat-eye flick using various types of eyeliner. Later you master the art of messy lip coloring and shade-blending. Mascara...

It’s freezing-cold outside and no matter how eager we are to adopt mid-season trends we will only end up with the brightest accessories from the Cruise or Resort 2015 collections. I’ve been daring enough, couple of seasons ago, sporting my then newly-bought silk Marni skirt under a heavy, warm coat...

As a regular at the MB Fashion Week in NYC, I know that in February chilly weather and possible snowstorms pose the greatest of challenges to my quest of setting up a chic, eye-catching wardrobe. Smart layering is the key to a picture-perfect look for a journalist attending the FW shows. With this premise...

Holiday makeup always consists of investment pieces and, for me, this is the season to buy the best compacts and the greatest evening colors. It’s the sparkliest, most intense and most exquisite makeup. I love shopping makeup in December! And above all, these adorable tints are enclosed in the most...

Talking about trends and must-haves, I sometimes find myself in the very awkward position of describing or prescribing things that many women cannot or are not willing to get. There is much discussion about individuality and also hard times many people are going through due to the climate of austerity...

As a designer, stylist and fashion journalist myself, I thought that building up a Fall/Winter 2013/14 ‘mood board’ for all women working and excelling in the shipping industry, the amazing, golden WISTA girls, is a no-brainer; it just requires enormous amounts of blue! When ladies decide to dress...

It’s not world domination only for Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld. Another French Couture House and its new Creative Director, super-talented Raf Simons, is charming the globe and this month almost ‘invades’ the British stronghold of shopping in London, our beloved Harrods, a place which attracts international...

Using colors that are quite characteristic of most summery pictures, I made up a look that seems to be easy and wearable in many occasions. There is a lot of orange, some red and a little brown, while my makeup goes along the same lines with bronze, tangerine and amber. I’m wearing a Zara shirt, a...

I took some amazing pictures the morning after my recent Bday party which was a fantastic opportunity to catch up with all my friends, even those ones I had a long time to see. Most of the snaps are from the gifts I got, some of them very imaginative, fashionable and meaningful. I have to say that these...

Remember stunning Audrey Hepburn in the movie ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ wearing her amazing, notorious beauty sleep mask? Victoria Beckham seems to value equally much good sleeping habits, since she admitted that she’s wearing nothing else at bed but rich body cream, socks and gloves to protect...

It’s just a few days before the Athens Xclusive Designers Week, and I wanted to take a stroll downtown, looking for inspiration or simply an attractive visual reality. Despite the stormy, relentless crisis, Athens has still some gorgeous places for window-shopping, especially the area of Kolonaki,...

I love Dior beauty products and cannot hide it. Nevertheless, I develop increasing appreciation for Lancôme cosmetics, especially the magic serums – Genifique and Visionnaire – and the upcoming Renergie Multi-Lift with anti-ageing qualities and repairing role. Lately I bought some new products,...

It’s been a wonderful holiday season in the Greek mountains, with our best friends around us. I really enjoyed their company, as well as Greek hospitality, food and night life. We all had an amazing New Year’s Eve, dancing, chatting, listening to the music and drinking champagne. But the party wasn’t...

It’s all black with some other-color highlights. It’s retro-pop and feminine, modern and playful, old and new, simple and complicated. I just used some tartan, a little bit of black satin and small accents of sparkle. In other words, I matched my black, ultra-slim horizontally-pleated Karen Millen...

Sometimes I need something warmer but still stylish. My favorite color for winter vacations is pink combined with some neutrals. In this shot I am wearing Uniqlo black mini skirt and pink cashmere sweater, Juicy Couture long scarf with wide stripes and black Dior après-skis. With pom-pons as the predominant...
