Ones to watch: Zoe Kompitsi
Five minutes with Zoe Kompitsi, the creator of the beautiful jewellery, made with colourful thread and semi-precious stones. I have worn her pieces before, you can have a look here and here.

Market Saturdays | Hermes Wanderland
I don’t know how I lived my weekends before I started going to markets, be it flower (Columbia Road Flower Market), food, antique/vintage etc. It is honestly such a fun day out, as you get to experience different cultures, people and the sunshine if you’re lucky. Last weekend I went to the Duke of York Square market […]
Fashion Room Service XXL Edition by Ozon Magazine
I recently attended a fun and interesting event organised by Ozon magazine and Ozon Boutique, a Greek magazine which I really like, called Fashion Room Service XXL. They do these every year but usually I’m not in Athens when they happen so that was the first one I attended. The concept is simple, you go to the […]
Silver lining
In this case there’s a double meaning behind the phrase ‘silver lining’, yes I am wearing two different tones of silver/bronze and was actually contemplating wearing silver shoes as well but decided against it. I am usually an optimist (I’ve got my bad days as well…), which means despite the situation – however bad – […]
From day to night
Knowing the craziness of the London weather, one has to take advantage of the slightly good sunny weather when it comes around, and that’s precisely what I did! My friend was blowing bubbles like a like kid high on sugar, and I smiled and posed and tried to show my outfit despite being really cold. […]

Take a bow / Savage Beauty
Savage Beauty has to be the most talked-about exhibition opening this year. The 70,000 tickets that have already been sold are record-breaking, as they even surpass the David Bowie exhibition the Victoria & Albert hosted a few years ago. But don’t fret, there are about 200 tickets that are sold every day at the museum, […]
LCF MA15 exhibition
MA exhibitions are the best places to discover interesting designers/photographers and creatives of all sorts. The work presented from the Graduate School of London College of Fashion ranged from fashion film, artefact, accessories, photography to garments. It’s really fascinating to see the creative process in full as well, as you can look through the graduates’ portfolios and drawings. See some of […]
Gareth Pugh Talking Fashion at the V&A
A couple of nights ago I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see designer Gareth Pugh in conversation with journalist and editor of SHOWstudio Lou Stoppard. It was very interesting and insight full, read on for some of the things they discussed. Pugh celebrated the 10th year anniversary of his brand and returned to […]

Her designs focus on leather and marble, integrated throughout her accessories that create a unique effect.
