[last pic shot by maddie of wardroberecycle.com]

It was just a casual tapas-and-sangria night for Greek fashion bloggers, hosted by Evi Efthymiou of Wrangler and yours truly.

Unfortunately, I was so distracted chatting, I only remembered to whip out out my camera when half the crew had already left, but all my darlings were there: Thalia, Stella, Katerina, Tasos, Stefanie, Maria Flora, Despina, Chara, Maddie, Joanna and Kristen. I had to give Elena a leave of absence due to work-related stuff, but I'm sure I can lure her into a private tutoring session over some KFC.

Stephanie, Tasos and Maddie have also posted a lot more pics than me, so if you wanna snoop around a bit more, please do!

This was only the start!

These are just some shots from the backstage of the show at Notos Galleries in Thessaloniki, last week...

...and this is stylish Mr Sandman.

If you haven't ever visited his blog The Fashion Doll Chronicles, do it now! Although he told me he doesn't consider it a fashion blog, I do. And a very good one too.

And of course there had to be a joined outfit pic.

Spanaki

fashionarchitect.net_spanaki_01
Well, I'm sure you didn't wait for me to break the news about Greek handmade clutch bag designer Spanaki.

Quite a while ago, Anna (the talented girl behind the Spanaki name) decided to give me a little something.
fashionarchitect.net_spanaki_02
For those of you who aren't familiar with her work, Anna upcycles newspaper and magazine covers into cute little handbags, all handmade by her.

This clutch is quite special for several reasons:
It's the cover of LiFO newspaper issue of December 3rd 2009, featuring a painting by Wake...

...and on the inside of the same issue, there's a picture and a mini interview of my dear friend Larry Gus.

You know how much I love beautiful stuff being created from things we usually consider garbage.
fashionarchitect.net_spanaki_lifo
Especially when I remember this picture I personally shot back on December of 2009.

So, for all those separate reasons, I really much appreciate Anna's gesture as much as I appreciate her work, both as a clutch maker and a graphic designer.

Just look at those beautiful postcards designed by her, that she gave me along the clutch!fashionarchitect.net_spanaki_04
If you're intrigued by her work, you live in Athens and would like to see her clutches up close, this is your lucky weekend!

Anna is one of the handmade goodies creators participating in Tell-A-Story tradeshow, taking place this Saturday and Sunday 12:00-21:00 at BIOS, 84 Pireos st. Athens.

Sunday morning UPDATE:
Anna and her Spanaki clutches are also participating in The Meet Market this weekend! Don't ask how it's possible for her to be in two places at once, good friends are always there to help.
So get up, have some coffee and head downtown!

I'll be paying a visit for sure. Hope to see you there too!

1 year Notos Galleries Thessaloniki

fashionarhitect.net_notos_galleries_thessaloniki_1_year
When I received that phone call asking us to participate in the celebrating of the first year of Notos Galleries department store in Thessaloniki, I almost squealed with joy.

An one-day trip in the second biggest city of Greece, full of shopping, fashion and fun, along with three other of my favourite Greek fashion blog girls: Elena, Eleni and Zeta.

So this is what went down:

We woke up in the break of dawn to catch out flight.

Arrived in Thessaloniki and went straight for the clothes, of course.

Oh, this is our hostess, Chrissiana:

And then we took our seats for the fashion show...

...and of course I had to put our shoes on instagram while waiting.

And then, it started!

As you see, there's already a handful of pics, so I had to break some into another post, just with the backstage and some other stuff.

Coming up next!

If you're following Elena and me on twitter, you've probably already know what we've been up to this past Saturday.

I have a really busy workday ahead and I probably won't be able to post more during today, but I promise there's a lot more coming your way tomorrow!
