The mixing syndrome




Hey there my lovely readers!

One more post for you on the blog today!

This blog loves mix and match. If I had a scale of tricky fashion trends I would put mixing prints in the top 5. But the truth is that when it comes to mixing I do not believe in rules very much. From time to time I read articles with rules on how to mix patterns successfully. But some of the best combinations occurred by accident! If you like the result, then wear it! And when I talk about mixing I do not mean just the mixing of colors but the mixing of textures and formal-casual combinations as well. For instance, the mixing of a silky skirt with a woolen top will make your outfit more interesting and with more depth.
Do not stick to some old fashion rules that prevent you from exploring new things.
Some examples of mix and match cases are:

-You can stick to the same color but choose different patterns for each piece.
-You can keep the same pattern in 2 or more different colors. For example you can wear a brown check skirt with a green check top.
-Choose different textures such as velvet with silk or silk with wool.
-Mix small patterns with big ones.
-Mix different geometrical shapes like circles with rectangles or like in this case you can keep the same shades and mix stripes with polka dots.
-You can mix different types of floral patterns.


And so many more combinations you can think of. Try them on and if it feels good keep them.

Viva Italia




Buongiorno belle!!!

Yeap, I do love Italy, you know it by now. What can I say? I’m in love with the Italian culture and given the chance I tap it for inspiration, not just in fashion but in my house, my environment and lifestyle in general. After all, Greeks and Italians are so similar (una fazza una razza!).

Surely one of the most iconic Italian goddesses of all time is Sophia Loren. Her legendary fashion moments make her the original style influencer. I love her outfits that although simple, make her the epitome of sex appeal (just the right amount of sexiness).
She was all about the “hourglass” silhouette which declared her the ultimate bombshell!

She was my inspiration for today (even though I wish I had her curves!!).

Black vintage mid length skirt, black cropped top and the absolute Italian accessory, the head scarf.

P.S Today's detail: The wooden earrings are my new obsession. The chunkier, the better. In natural colors and materials.


Andiamo ragazze!
