Shorty

Too short to be a dress, too long to be a top and I hate the word tunic.

Bought at the sales.

Stealing from men

fashionarchitect.net blanco mens 1
Since today is the last day of the Blanco jeans offer (I'll repeat, with every pair of jeans you buy, you get €5 off your next purchase) and many of you might head down to the Ermou or Athens Metro Mall stores to take advantage of it, I thought I'd share another tip with you:

Don't forget the men's section.

This is a men's pair of jeans.

No really.

And don't just look out for pants, remeber that amazing tee Eliza scored at the Blanco men's department?

Don't you just love the little yellow details?

Jim Shi at the Marni x H&M party

Hosted by Sofia Coppola and Consuelo Castiglioni in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, last night's Marni at H&M Los Angeles party is already history, press release in my inbox and all. I'm super-excited for this particular collaboration, but press releases usually boring.

However, I opened my eyes this morning to find that fashion journalist Jim Shi was there and has been tweeting amazing pics like crazy! I thought that was a very interesting way of getting the vibe of the night, so I've decided to gather all my favorites here to share.

Clicking on any photo will land you on the original tweet, so you can read Jim's caption.

And if you're hungry for a bit more, there are a few extra pics on Jim's feed not posted here and the official twitter hashtag is #MarniatHM.

Plus the #marniathm hashtag on instagram has some serious eye-candy. Better get those iPhones out.

Purple, pumpkin, turquoise

Meet my new skinny black jeans from Blanco.

fashionarchitect.net purple and pumpkin 2
Perfect black wash, chic and grown-up, to be worn in occasions where the faded blue slouchy boyfriend kind just won't cut it.

fashionarchitect.net purple and pumpkin 3
Cropped to the ankle to show some skin when worn with pumps, plus the cute zipper adds a little rock-chick something.

Other than the huge selection of jeans in-store right now (I also got another pair, to be posted next) and the great pricing (jeans start at just €17,99) Blanco also has another great offer up this days: For every pair of jeans you buy, you get €5 off your next purchase. Not bad at all! Hurry up though, the offer is valid just until this Saturday, February 19th.

MadWalk 2012

fashionarchitect.net madwalk2012

MadWalk 2012 took place last Wednesday and this time I was there.

As you probably know, the event is a fusion of a music concert and a catwalk show, so the place was packed with teens trying to get a glimpse of their favourite artist as well as some fashion lovers hopelessly trying to actually see the clothes. As that was kinda impossible due to huge place and our seats being of the nosebleed kind, the pics I'll be posting here will be more about depicting the atmosphere and less about the couture.

Enjoy!

Yesterday at Fashion Live! by Ozon Raw.

Stylists picked clothes, make-up artists enchanced faces, hairdressers did hair, photographers shot pics and bloggers spoke of blogging. I left before the party, so I'm waiting for you to tell me more about how that...
