Although summer is the season of bright, bold and funky colors like coral and fuchsia, I decided to stray a bit from my floral tops and go back to my safe zone of black, white and grey. Those three are my favorite neutral colors, because they can be combined with any other color and you can always dress them up or down. I love the urban vibe of a minimalistic look; its clean, simple cuts are aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

I love this grey top I got from ZARA last summer; grey is my favorite color all year round and I believe that a closet, in order to be complete, should have at least one simple top in those three basic colors. I matched to a pair of skinny, cropped black pants; another basic piece for any wardrobe. This specific pair from ASOS is pure perfection as it is made from a soft, light, stretchy material and can be worn through all seasons. For shoes, I picked my favorite ADIDAS Superstars in white, because they are extremely comfortable and add a more casual touch to the whole look. For me, the highlight of the whole outfit is my little backpack. How adorable is it right? It is brand new from ZARA and I am absolutely in love with it already. Its spacious interior makes up for its small size. It can fit everything my MK Jet Set Travel bag can (my review), and then some. It has a lovely design and can be worn day or night. What I love the most about it is the golden chain strap that comes with it, so you can wear it as a shoulder bag instead of a backpack. I am telling you this bag is a staple piece of a wardrobe. Especially now that petite bags are a huge trend (see Chiara Ferragni). Although I love bold colors and prints for my summer outfits, I love knowing I can always go back to my basics and create the perfect minimal look. Who doesn’t like a few staple causal pieces that just ooze comfort and style?

GREY AND THE CITY

 GREY AND THE CITY

blog 043

Happy Sunday everyone! Today is November 1st and finally winter has come to sunny little Greece. It is so crazy how the weather changed from almost summer to total winter in merely 10 days. As someone who gets cold very very easily, once the temperature dropped, I had to get all my winter clothes and coats out and pack my summer ones away. In this post I am sharing one of my favorite fall-winter casual looks. Whenever I leave the house on the daytime, my outfit will be a variation of this look. During winter, jeans, jumper and coat become my second skin. I feel so comfortable and cozy in a fluffy jumper and a pair of jeans, whereas a nice woollen coat is basically essential to cope with the coldness around me.

Grey is one of my favorite colors in general but even more in the winter.  It is the perfect neutral, as you can match it with practically everything and look flattering in it. What is better in a grey, cloudy day than a grey, woollen coat! My beautiful, grey ZARA coat is the centre piece of this look. It has the perfect length and has a A-shape which I really love. That is because I like to wear my coats unzipped/unbuttoned and layer underneath them therefore, my coats can’t be tight fitting. I teamed up my lovely coat with a fluffy, dark grey – almost black – jumper by Pull&Bear. I love this jumper! It’s my newest addition to my jumper collection. It’s quite long and very loose and stretchy, which makes it really cozy. A laid back look is only complete with the perfect pair of jeans. This pair of highwaisted, blue jeans is from ASOS. Guys I can’t explain how impressed I am with ASOS jeans. I started purchasing them in the summer and now I am completely addicted. I like how sturdy and thick this one is compared to my TOPSHOP ones. It is figure-hugging in a very flattering way. My Public Desire over the knee boots are just pure perfection; they elongate my legs and actually even slim them down! They give a boho, more feminine vibe and I love it! I could go on and on about them but instead of dragging the entire post, I have a separate post reviewing them you guys can check out! Last but not least, I am wearing my brown ZARA bag to finish up the look. This bag is so lovely and different from the majority of my bags. It has a ladylike shape I find very cute and girlie, and its chocolate brown color is versatile and perfect for the season. Since this look is rather neutral and minimalistic, with only 3 colors (blue, grey and black), a brown bag adds a pop of color and spices it all up a bit.This look is one of my autumn/winter favorites, because it is comfortable and cosy. It makes me feel relaxed yet feminine and the colors of the palette I use are a perfect representation of this season!
