A Clockwork Orange

Hello, readers!

How was your day? Mine was - well, boring. I watched the latest episodes of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" and "Kourtney and Kim take New York." I don't know exactly why. I haven't quite figured out why I watch these shows yet. It's not that I really admire them or look up to them and I agree that showing your life in public is weird and kind of sick. So shall we call it a 'guilty pleasure'? Well yeah, although I don't feel really guilty, to be honest. : P I like their style and their make up and just watching their lives is kind of fascinating. I could never do it, like, have cameras inside my house and basically fabricate my life. But it doesn't hurt watching others do it.

Also, speaking of TV I am about to watch the last Vampire Diaries episode to get in the mood for the new episode which is premiering tomorrow night in America and which unfortunately I'm going to miss, since I am going away for a couple of days. But right as soon as I get back home, first thing to do is get down and watch the damn episode! I've been waiting so long for it! Everything is Delena and nothing hurts, right?

So yeah, one reason I love January is (no, not because school starts:P) that all my favorite tv shows start again! (Including Pretty Little Liars which premiered on Monday - Ah-mazing episode!)

God, if you give me the chance to talk I might never stop.

Okay, so on to the outfit. I took these pictures yesterday while I was out and I later went to Alex's place (one of my dear friends) and we were a whole bunch of people hanging out, we made videos, it was really cool!

This H&M dress has come out really handy so far, it is very comfortable and I've never owned anything orange so it was quite a change for my closet, I love seeing brights in it, it makes my mood!

Do not ditch Dicha

These pieces have taken my breath away! I love their structure and materials, so beautiful. They're formal but youthful and fun at the same time, and I thought they were kind of different. I found a couple of items at http://www.net-a-porter.com/ where you can also buy them. To be honest, they're kind of expensive which, but it would be worth it.

Their website (www.dicha.co.uk) says:

A collaboration in design by Diane Metta and Chantal Laren. Diane, a nomadic creative, established Dicha with Chantal in 2009 after repeated success with their former fashion, jewellery and cosmetics brands.

They plan to fuse their rapidly growing ideas which include recreations of one of a kind antique statement pieces to evolve a fine timeless jewellery collection of repeated editions.

Diane and Chantal approach each of their styles as an art form, fashioned with particular attention to theme and detail, often treading a delicate balance between costume and fine jewellery. Their aim is to create feminine and edgy designs delivering a distinctive style, relevant to today.

XOXO,

Athena

PS. I know the lack of posts lately is disappointing, but please have some patience and the best is coming soon! My schedule has been so busy the past few weeks but it's finally coming to an end. Thank you :)

Joualleries pour tous!

While minimalism dominates the catwalks, jewelry designes create more and more extravagant and voluminous faux and fine jewels. For yet another season necklaces are the big must-haves and they decorate almost every piece in our wardrobe. New materials and strange combos enter, as well as bigger and bigger sizes. Earrings are also another story, since they are a very good companion for your strapless, one-shouldered dresses during day and night.

According to an article that I read in Harper's Bazaar April issue the latest trend is to incorporate evening wear in everyday morning outfits, so don't be shy to add a little more glitz on your boring white office shirt :P

This time I decided to enrich this category with cheaper items since not many can afford Erickson Beamon or Lanvin. Check 'em out!!

Tell me which of the items below do you love the most and I will send you the link where to buy it online!



Day Birger et Mikkelsen tribal suede and bead necklace



Erickson Beamon L'age d'or Swarovski drop earrings



Isabel Marant howlite-embellished multi-strand necklace

Bijoux Heart mer 24-karat gold-plated earrings



Aurelie Biderman 18-karat gold lace cuff
