I can't believe that the end of March brought with it my 6th blog anniversary! It seems like only yesterday was I drawing up the courage to write the first post, telling you all about my thoughts and expectations about this project. Everything went well beyond anything I would have dreamed it to become and I am glad you were with me along the way to support me in all my endeavors.

As the days get shorter, colder and rainier, I find myself thinking about sunnier days and what could be better to lift your mood than a few stylish shots of Paris in full bloom?
Usually during Fashion Week what happens outside the actual show venues is equally interesting. When you're in Paris, where stylish people already roam the streets daily, seeing the effect of fashion week is Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123593440804062056noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958062455422848377.post-39622114126998183572015-09-08T13:12:00.000+03:002018-11-04T21:08:41.650+02:00Inspired by: Midnight Blue
Midnight blue seems to be my inspiration for today, be it in an understated outfit, a simple table setting or decorating one's home. While for some blue and its darker counterparts may seem a bit too moody and sad, navy is definitely one of my favorite colours. It's always flattering for any body shape, you can pair it with a multitude of colours for a look that popsSamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123593440804062056noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958062455422848377.post-28027716557247700312015-08-21T15:11:00.000+03:002018-11-04T21:08:41.575+02:00Photo of the Week: Migration of the Zebras
Captured during the migration period of zebras in the serengeti of Tanzania, this image shows the zebras gathering on the edge of a river, waiting for the best moment to cross. What I like most about this shot is the mysterious air brought by the intense fog and the image of the trees emerging from the distance.

Shooting fishermen at work surrounded by their nets is quite a common sight in Vietnam, but the rich colors and textures of this photo is what made it feel special to me and I decided to feature it as this week's inspiration. I really like the contrast that the full silhouette of the man makes against the light fabric of the nets.

Like I promised you guys a couple of weeks back, here is part two of the swimsuit inspiration series, I couldn't leave these ones out! Apart from the beautiful colors on some of the bikinis or the inspiring landscapes, this time my inspiration came a lot from one-piece bathing suits.

I've always waited on the Valentino show as impatiently as I would wait for the Chanel one or the Dior collection, while Mr. Galliano was still in charge. There's always something magical about the garments and the story that the designer duo envisions, always keeping the same lines and shapes the House is known for, yet still constantly innovating, either through a new color, a new Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16123593440804062056noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5958062455422848377.post-62954034882168676652015-07-09T13:29:00.000+03:002018-11-04T21:08:41.751+02:00Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week AW 2016 Chanel
Tuesday's highlight of the couture shows was the Chanel show - always bigger, better, more innovative.

The second day of the Haute Couture shows brought us the wonderfully poised collection of Raf Simmons for Christian Dior. Clean shapes, flattering A-line skirts, tube dresses and gorgeous coats in mixed fabrics were the main attractions. In an attempt not to forget the warm temperatures in fall, beautifully crafted, nude wedge sandals completed the looks.

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is always a highlight of early July, just in time to catch all the shows before people start going around on vacation. This year's shows started on Monday with Donatella Verasce's couture collection for Atelier Versace. Showcasing muted tones, sexy, flowy dresses and delicate embroideries, the show was a very good opener for the week to follow.

Besides the fabulous Missoni collection, my other favorite show from Milan was of course the one and only Giorgio Armani - the gentleman by definition.

Today's inspiration comes in form of a style journey through menswear trends, from casual street wear to double breasted jackets and three-piece suits. Men usually favor the classic dark colors when it comes to choosing a suit, but as we will see later on, taking a chance with softer shades, a different, fuller fabric or a bold accessory can be a game changer.
