Chromantics: July 2013

Flower Power

The spring may have left but flowers are in most pieces of clothing this summer. Dresses, shirts, blazers, trousers they all get more interesting with a floral pattern. The variety of colours and paterns make this trend quite approachable even for those who want to play it safe.
Our suggestion. Go with vibrant colours, mix and match paterns, try it with different materials (we loved the combination of a silk floral shirt with a black pencil leather skirt). And last but not least accessorise! Not much but you can try a bag with a vibrant colour or some (preferably) gold jewelry.
The motto is:
Stand out and make a statement!

Perfumes: 2013 Edition

Every woman wants to smell nice. Over the years perfumes have become not only an important part of our daily outfit but also an way to show our personality. Most people in the fashion industry believe that a woman should own a variety of perfumes in order to have the option to choose a different one depending on the occasion. Personally, I'm one of those people who believe that every woman should have a signature sent. Even if it differs from time to time. For instance you may change your perfume every season but the basic ingredients could remain the same giving you a similar finish but with a different tone depending to your mood or the weather sometimes.

You should always remember though that your perfume makes a statement for you and your style so try experementing with some samples before you choose a sent. It's really important to find what suits your skin better because an odour may seem different in different people.

*I'd like to mention that I spent at least an hour smelling possibly every perfume on Sephora before I decided which products to include in this post, so I'm really hoping that you'll like it.*

Let us know which is your favourite perfume!

Aviators

My first sunglasses was a pair of the classic mirror aviator Ray-Bans. This is what we mean when we say that fashion makes cycles. Here comes the time to put them again and walk with them on, proudly. We all have this awesome round vintage aviator pair of sunglasses. There was a period when everyone had this pair of sunglasses and put them on first before anyone else could understand that it is on fashion again!
RayBan designed a new mirror aviator in green, blue and orange color! I think this will be my next purchase! (happy, happy, happy). I think that you are going to love these aviators, too. And since they came out once they will be probably in 5 years again so if you buy them now, they won't be like throwing away money. If you had them (lucky people) then wear them again and feel good and fashionable in the old way!

Take some ideas of aviators sunglasses!

Paris is always a good idea!

When I am telling you the word Paris, what comes first to your mind? Shops, Eiffel Tower, food, chocolate, cinema? Yes, yes I am sure that if you think that Paris is all that and more!

I think that Paris is the center of Europe. I love this city! I would like to stay there forever! It's not only the things that we said in the begging it's the whole vibe. The streets, the shops, the cafes, the houses everything is so pretty and reminds you something from another era but at the same time so modern. You can walk on the streets of Paris and feel like Brigitte Bardot is sitting at Café des 2 Moulins, or to hear your favorite song of Edith Piaf as you walking out of Le Carmen. This is Paris to me. Of course we cannot forget Pierre Hermé and the amazing macarons or the Jean-Paul Hévin. No, no, no this is another, sweet spot and view of Paris.

What else...? Fashion? Shops? Christian Louboutin? Dior? Chanel... Yes, this is our freaky world! Many shops, different brands and styles! Fashion weeks, photographers, colours! We love it! But let's just take a walk on this amazing and historical bridges. Let's go today on
Passerelle des Arts!

Let me just close with Roland Garros! Nadal, Djokovic, Federrer, Sharapova, William dust and yellow balls! I want a VIP ticket next to Leonardo DiCaprio. Thank you!

This is my parisworld :)

Summer Beauty

Imagine that you are on an island, the weather is hot, it's summer and you want to go for a walk. You dress properly for the island but when it comes the beauty part you're stuck. Here are the summer beauty products for 2013. The whole idea is na-tu-ral! Don't put all the time pink, red lipsticks! Ok, you will but not always in this summer. Relax and try to imprint that on your make up! Be stylish with few products. Sometimes, we leave for vacations without buying new products that they are softer and lighter but we continue to put on our winter products. That sometimes is bad because your face seems very heavy and doesn't suit with the summer mood. So, we suggest you our favorite products for our vacations....

First of all,i love this product! Is the Beauty light glow hydrangea pink No 10 by Burberry.

Madame Shou Shou

It's the Greek madness on clothes industry... Madame Shou Shou and Elina Kordali made a must on summer with their bikinis! Everyone wants to have those amazing bikinis with the romantic mood and the style of a different era... !With what can I start the lace, the colors or the big knot that completes a perfect and stylish bikini for your vintage vacations... For sure, when you see them, you'll want to buy them all!

Expept from swimwear Madame Shou Shou has clothes. The style is always romantic, vintage and with some bohemian mood. The latest collection was just amazing! I fell in love with the "Korali" dress and with "Astakos". What's sure is that this is just the beginning. What's up next we don't know it for sure but we are hoping that it will be awesome! Winter is coming so probably the new collection is on it's the way.

Marc Jacobs for Sephora

Sooo the new makeup line by Marc Jacobs is a thing. 122 different products in funky colours (and names) and some neutral shades will be released soon and from what we read at HuffingtonPost.com it'll be Sephora's first global product launch.

From what we read on Elle the line is going to be divided in four categories: Smart Complexion (Concealer, foundation and powder), Blaquer (Pen eyeliner, Lash lifter, gel crayon), Hi-Per Colour (Lip products, eye shadow, blush, bronzer and nail laquers), and the unisex Boy Tested, Girl Approved (lip balms, brow gel and concealer).

Prices are somewhere between 24$ for a lip balm and 59$ for a seven-colour eyeshadow palette; quite reasonable for designer products.

The line is going to hit Sephora on August 9th but there's also going to be a teaser for some of the products on July 19th (in less than a week!).

Jacobs told Elle: "We spent a lot of time developing materials and choosing the colors," he said. "We work with the technicians at the mills to achieve a certain effect, so we did the same thing with Sephora. The color palette tells a story and that story is based on a spirit. I chose different types of characters, such as an ingénue."

He also told WWD:“Anything to me that is part of the joy, the ritual, of getting dressed — things that women enjoy like bags, shoes, fragrance, clothes, makeup — that’s what fashion’s about for me,I love the opportunity, wherever there is one, to adorn, to decorate, to scent, to dress. That’s what fashion’s all about. It’s not necessary, it’s something you want — it’s a fancy and a whim.”

Houses and apartments

After a long time I decided to write a new post! You must know that we have to study this summer and we don't have so much time as we used to this winter so our posts will be rare!

I was surfing on the net when I suddenly saw a beautiful photograph from an eff-ing awesome house! So, i decided to write something about decorating houses! We all have a dream for the ideal house. Others want to have a little apartment downtown full of posters, others a big library and others want a house on the suburbs because they don't like the noises of the city. Big or small, downtown or not with a poor or a big balcony everyone wants a cozy and beautiful house!

I found some photos so that you can take some ideas! I am telling you if i was leaving in one of these i would be veeeeeeeeeeeeery happy! (not that i am not in my apartment :)
