Well, the June issue of greek Glamour magazine is out and I am featured in it, along with fashion blogging comrades Alecca Rox, Aris and Alkisti of Streetgeist, Hari K of The Soho Symposium and Queen B.
Random Fact 1: On the cover it reads: Miley Cyrus, the most famous girl in the world. My sister's comment, upon seeing that: Who is that Miley Cyrus chick and why is she supposed to be the most famous girl in the world? I don't know her.
Even my little sister is not young enough to be aware of Hannah Montana! You go tell 'em sis!
Random Fact 2: I'm opposite to an ad for ice-cream!
Random Fact 3: The clothes I wear in the photo are all mine (a Badila skirt I bought two years ago and a plain Zara top). Only the horse-print scarf is a recent buy (more on that on a different post). I also did the make-up myself. Now that I think about it, I should have taken the chance to be pampered by a pro!
Congratulations to Amalia Agathou, the Glamour editor who did an amazing job with this article, and congratulations to all the girls - and one boy - who were featured. We were all faaaaaahbulous! Now dear Greek readers, run to the kiosk and buy the magazine! And, all of you non-Greeks out there, I'm planning on doing the English translation really soon, so stay tuned. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to call my mum and tell her I'm in print.
---sorry it took me so long, here's the translation---
Penelopy, an architecture student whose style has been defined by her love for US Vogue ans her grandma's belts, other than writing her own blog now also posts professionally at ermou.gr/blog.
- I was already a follower of many fashion blogs, leaving comments and conversing with the bloggers behind them. Creating my own was just the next natural step in communicating with all those inspirational girls. The first blog that I fell in love with was Style Bubble followed by Le Blog de Betty, The Cherry Blossom Girl and The Clothes Horse. One of the highlights of my blogging "career" was meeting up with Rebecca of The Clothes Horse at last October's Athens Fashion Week.
- I'd rather not choose between fashion and architecture, as I love both. I do however believe that it is possible for someone to make a professional career out of blogging, as long as they are aware of the fact that it will surely take a while to make a living out of it. The fashion industry and the media are slowly realizing the power successful bloggers hold on public and sooner or later they will learn to use it for their own gain.
- I have eventually reached a point where I really wear whatever I want, without feeling like I stick out. I gained the self-confidence neccesary to do that by seeing my favourite bloggers do the same. The biggest change in the way I dress is that I now wear almost exclusively skirts and dresses in my everyday life, abolishing the standard jeans uniform.
- I loved the latest spring/summer collection by Charles Anastase, Chloé's amazing multi-strapped maryjanes and the beautiful multi-coloured dresses Greek designer duo DElight presented in the last Fashion Week Athens.
- My shopping advice is: Get in a fitting room with your best friend and an armfull of clothes you'd never normally buy, and just have fun trying them on. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Congrats, beautiful!
-random fact 2: sweetie you are opposite to an ad for ice-cream!! I'm opposite to an ad for firming serum!!!!!!! (hmmmm do i have to start thinking more?..) :PPPPP
Hari K: Hahahaha! You know, your page is the next after mine... I think they're are trying to make us eat ice-cream and then feel guilty about it, so we will splurge on the serum! Even more randomness: The impossibly slim Katerina is next to a low-fat yogurt ad!
that's awesome! Congrats..
