Upcoming Designers: Mary Katrantzou


One of my favorite designers this year is Mary Katrantzou.
Those dresses drive me crazy! The first time, I ever heard of this designer was on January ELLE UK magazine, bought in Amsterdam when I was getting back home after an amazing Christmas holiday in Dubai with my family. The firts time I opened the magazine I thought "wow are this dresses made from real porcelain, painted and glue together?". Then I decided to read about her past, I wanted to know how she gets the colors in the dresses to make it look so alive, like you could almost touch it through the pictures in the magazine.
It was all explained when I discovered that her mother was an interior designer and her father trained in textile design, witha background like this of course Mary was going to be great in capturing every color and texture in a way that only she knows.




Everybody is in love with her and her dresses that look like painted by hand vases. She even created a collection to Topshop, that I want to put my hands on.





From Keira Knightley to Anna dello Russo, Mary Katrantzou has convinced the world of fashion she is here to stay.


Please admire the colors in Anna dello Russo's dress. No other designer ever captured colors this way!! AMAZING!!

Since I can remember I've always had a negative response to vegetables, I would force myself to eat them because they are good for you. The problem was the taste, or more correctly, no taste at all. The ready to eat products found are not fresh and most of the times what you find is the basic same old salad with a not so healthy sauce. While shopping I came across an amazing brand, Sun&Vegs , and my idea about flavorless vegetables changed completely. Tasty. Delicious. Healthy. That's the correct way to describe Sun&Vegs. Fresh and natural ingredients, making the most unexpected combinations. Presenting different ranges, from salads, to microwave and pre-cooked meals, having each option different tastes and combinations. I have tasted three different meals, and let's say that Sun&Vegs conquered my taste buds (and my heart, of course). Moroccan tabulat was my first go to. I have to admit that I loved the presentation and the colors, the freshness of t...

"Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" The dear White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland clearly didn't use Bond Street watches, otherwise he would always be on time. Myself, I'm not a crazy about watches. Back when I was a teenager I had a whole drawer full with watches, as an adult not so much until I met this amazing brand established in Britain. As you can see from the photos the design is elegance beautifully captured in a stainless steel case. AMAZING! But most importantly it's their superior quality that draws me, not to mention they are water resistant. And the best part, when it comes to the price tag, you are going to love it! I'm particularly attracted to a minimalist design, especially when it comes to watches, and their Mayfair Collection is the perfect timepiece for every woman around the globe, and even gentlemen.  Wouldn't this make the perfect Valentine's Day present? We think it would! That's why Bond Street...

Today I woke up due to me iPad telling me there are new things on H&M to spend money, and I went crazy for the collection!! As you know, and probably seen on the runways, the use of fruits and plants on dresses and shirts is very fashionable. Ruffles is another must have, I always heard that the less is more, but when it comes to ruffles the more the merrier! ;) (ok, but don't excess, or you'll end up looking like a cake with legs and arms sticking out) Neon is seen in this collection too!! Now, let's see the collection, first take a look at  Conscious Collection (some of the items from this collection are a little bit to much on the price side) and to end look at the Trend Update Let's start working our back muscles to look good in this dress :) Very sexy, let's see some legs This dress is verry Dolce&Gabbana
