From Summer To Fall: 7 tips to step into the season

Here we are again..

Tan lines fade and suitcases are finally being put away as we slip into September's dullness and new beginnings..

Remember when I did a post last season on how to achieve a smooth style transition from winter to spring? (You can check it here) Well, I felt it was only appropriate to do a post on now to avoid the awkwardness of having nothing to wear when the weather  does not say summer but not exactly scream autumn either. For me at least, changing up my style over that period of time helps me avoid the bore that September can be and I want to share with you 7 fast and economical ways you can get that yourself.

SANDALS vs OXFORDS/BALLERINAS

While sandals scream beach and summer dresses, ballerinas and oxford flats are the perfect preppy answer to the question what shoes to go for. Time to pull those out again and give your summer wardrobe a twist.

Wind of change

Hello lovely readers!

How have y'all been? I'm feeling a little (just a tiny little) uninspired today. Or not. Okay, so let's see how it goes.

I've been shopping a little lately, but not too much; just think that I haven't gone out on a winter shopping spree just yet, let alone holiday shopping. And I am dying to! However I did purchase a couple of things over the last few weeks among which are: a pair of gorgeous electric blue pumps and tons of Forever 21 jewelry. Which btw, I love so much! I ordered it from their EU website and received it just a couple of days ago and I am so happy with what I got and the quality for the money I spent. (I will do a post on that pretty soon which will include more on Internet shopping.)

However, this outfit doesn't feature any of these latest acquisitions simply because it was taken way before I purchased those items. As you can see in the pictures it was a really windy day, which needless to say, annoyed terribly my dear friend Catherine (the photographer) who is obsessed over her hair. Seriously, if you touch one single strand, she'll go ballistic screamin' "why did you do that????!!!" (Bet she's reading this right now and laughing soo hard!)

My Cup of Tee

So, I was in London the previous week and oh my gosh, it's such a beautiful city! I litterally fell in love with it! And what impressed me was the unique british sense of style! I was really inspired so I decided to create a set based on what I saw there and my perception of London in general.

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 :)
