Trompe-l'œil

Trompe-l'œil print designed by Rosalind Keep.

This Oasis cotton dress was bought from ASOS during last summer's sales, but missed the season as it was already too late for summer dresses.

Hopefully will get the action it deserves this season, if summer decides to pay us a visit, that is.

And yes.

You've already seen me wearing it winter-style during last autumn's fashion week.

I just couldn't wait.

Sublime in Athens

fashionarchitect.net_sublime_in_athens
Tonight. Here's the FB event for more info. Keep in mind that the venue has changed from Technopolis to Fuzz Club.

Till then, I'm listening to this and this:


Come up and say hello if you're a Sublime fan too.

I'll be wearing my beaten up converse and red trousers.

See you there!

Summer showers

fashionarchitect.net_greens_in_the_rain
Blissfully spent this three day weekend sleeping, getting rained in and doing balcony gardening.

I am now the proud grower of three tomato plants plus one pot of rosemary.
Here it is, behind the lazy cat. Both pics shot with my iPhone 3GS. Damn thing shots pretty decent close-up pictures in daylight and a steady hand.

So how was your weekend?

Twingo Miss Sixty

As I've already announced before, Renault has collaborated with Miss Sixty to create an extra girlie special edition of one of its most popular models and the result was Twingo Miss Sixty.

Along with Stella, Katerina and Thalia we were assigned to do a sisterhood of the traveling pants thing with it, each of us taking it for a weekend to go for shopping, coffee dates and beach rides.

You wanna know what it was like for me?

I initially thought that the pink theme would be a bit too much for me. I was proven wrong.

The pink details were everywhere, but they were all tasteful, in a very elegant shade of pink and not Barbie-ish at all.
The whole car felt sturdy and well-made, very easy to drive and extremely easy to park.

The clutch gave a very smooth transmission, so it rarely "jumped" when changing gears, even at my first ride with it.

However, I would say that its best advantage was how damn low its fuel consumption was. Seriously girls, I drove it four whole days and the gas indicator barely started to move just as I was driving back to the Renault headquarters to part with it.

And as Stella pointed out, that could translate as an extra pair of shoes per month!

Oh, and I almost forgot... It has pink rims.
Maybe that's all I should say from the start of this post.

Even though I really don't like changes and I thought that I would totally miss my own car, the whole experience was so nice I felt quite sad giving it back...

Now, what I haven't mentioned is that the kind people at Renault and Miss Sixty have some more plans for their little baby and those plans include gifts for you, but I really can't say more yet.

Give them your like at facebook and they will keep you updated.

Swedish Hasbeens for H&M

Back when I did my review on the H&M spring collections, I promised you an extra post just for those beauties.

The best part is that at €50-€60 they cost so much less than the actual Swedish Hasbeens that verge on the €200 mark.

And aren't they amazingly retro?

Hurry up though, because as I have been informed from the Greek H&M press office, there are very few pieces left, most of them at the Ermou branch.

I hope the clogging sound won't annoy people much...

Fullah Sugah n' love, the sequel

Another blogger's care pack courtesy of Fullah Sugah arrived at my desk a couple of weeks ago (following that first one) and left me smiling for the rest of the day.

Perfectly wrapped of course, I almost felt bad opening it.

Almost. So what was inside?

A soft scarf in the most perfect electric blue.

And...

this amazing woven bag.

The inside is all compartments, pockets and zips, perfect for an organization junkie like me...

...and the amazing shade of mustard will go with all my outfits, yet it also comes in beige and watermelon.

I really wouldn't be able to decide which one to get if I had to chose myself.

Thank you Fullah Sugah!
