Heaven Online: April 2018

Hello my dears! How are you all holding up after Easter break? I had the best time during the break but now I am back to my everyday routine with work and college essays and I am just swamped. Even though my schedule is pretty hectic, my little Easter getaway really fuelled me and motivated me to keep going. I also wanted to get this post out of the way so I can start working on other, exciting things for you!

Anyways, this is another post for AXDW. In case you missed the last one, you can check it out and discover my outfit, my makeup and my favorite looks from the shows.

For the 4th day of the shows, I wanted to put together a chic and polished look that was still feminine. I chose high-waisted striped pants in charcoal grey and a pink ladylike bag with pearls and a gold chain (my absolute favorite piece) from Stradivarius. The pants are SO comfortable and versatile and you can literally dress them up or down for so many different occasions.

My ballet pumps and my structured black coat are from Zara and they are also basic pieces in my wardrobe. Thus, I wanted a little extra detail to my look and I added a vintage see-through lace top and a bralette from Oysho underneath. To finish it off, I added gold handmade earrings from Strass Bijoux. I am beyond obsessed with this look and with how comfortable it was and I would totally wear it again!

As for my makeup, well, you can expect a full post about it in the near future 😉

The shows on the 4th day were pretty spectacular and they really impressed me and my fashion friends. Some pieces that really stood out to me were the baby blue embellished dresses from Hermina's Raea, the gorgeous ladylike dresses from Vassilis Zoulias and the dreamy summer collection from Follie Follie that really blended so nicely with the marble architectural elements of the venue.

One more fashion week has come to an end, which you probably already know if you follow me on Instagram! Athens Xclusive Designers Week takes place here in Greece twice a year and I always love going. I may not adore every single bit of it (like how chaotic it is) but I do enjoy dressing up, meeting up with my friends from the industry and seeing what the designers propose for the upcoming seasons. It's like a big fashion party!

This year I only went there for two out of the five days since, over the years, I have become more eclectic and I choose to only see the designers I really like. If you've ever been to fashion week, you understand how tiring it is to attend every single show. I was very tired in advance, so I just wanted to enjoy some good quality shows.

For my outfit on the first day, I wanted to go big and I clearly didn't seem to care about the "less is more" rule. I wore loose-fitting, black, high-waisted pants from Zara, which were rather simple, so I decided to pair them with a vintage leopard print shirt and a vintage yellow jacket.

I absolutely adore the contrast and the mix n' match vibe of the look.

I didn't want to wear heels since I had to use public transportation to get there, so I opted for chic black ballerinas also from Zara and I finished the look with a vintage Chanel-looking bag and gold statement earrings from Strass Bijoux.

As for my makeup, I chose nude lips since I didn't want to overpower the yellow jacket with vivid colors. Thus, I set my focus on the eyes, with a brown smokey look and simple black wings. To finish it off I added blinding highlighter, which is always a must for me and, well, I already had bold brows to begin with.

The eyeshadows I used were Sephora brand, the lipstick, the highlighter, the blush and the contouring kit were Makeup Revolution, the eyeliner and the foundation were L'oreal, the concealer was NYX and the mascara was Max Factor.

I really liked the shows I attended, especially Olga Karaververi, Tassos Mitropoulos and Kathy Heyndels. I loved the romantic wedding dresses, the floral prints, the bomber jackets and the vivid colors and there were definitely pieces that I want to make mine and incorporate into my wardrobe!
