Tea Party Decor with Flowers!!!!

Hello My friends!!!!

As usual I have spent a few minutes looking pinterest for beautiful pictures and ideas and pinterest is on of the greatest places for that. And I stopped in a few beautiful ideas for party decoration with flowers! Well actually here in Greece we do not have the habit to have a cup of tea in the afternoon and tea parties, but I believe that this kind of décor is simply perfect for any romantic party or wedding or even a birthday party or baptism.

Beautiful colors, great aromas, simple ideas and the result is more that adorable....don't you think?

Good Morning my friends!

Easter is near for the Greeks and it is just amazing how many beautiful creations, recipes, pictures you can admire this period. What I love most about Easter? Holiday time, spending it with great friends, having a cup of coffee and laughing. Too many manners and customs, too many sweets and amazing dishes, too many aromas and of course the last minutes purchases the gifts for our god children! 

Last but not Least...Spring is here and the weather is (sometimes) hot enough to reminds you that Summer also is not away....

Fashion Trends - Floral Inspirations

Hello my friends!

Saturday today and another Fashion Trend post is up. This time we are going to have flowers in our outfit. As usual three different outfits for different occasions.

Floral prints are always classic in the world of fashion and has been loved by many designers. A fashion trend that will never get old, perfect for every season and time of the day or night, if you wear it correctly. It is true that there are plenty floral prints and it is really difficult to choose what to wear. It is important to choose a pattern that works with your personal taste and style. Flower designs can range from dainty and delicate to big and bold, each kind carrying its own personality and character.

If you prefer a romantic or simple or sophisticated style, try looking for a print that features small cute flowers. Use pastel accessories and create a petite girly outfit. If you're the type to rock statement patterns, a print featuring larger flowers will work best for you. Look for bright colors, vibrant designs and eye-catching details.

Once you chosen the floral print, try to wear it with other clothes in a way that will create a cohesive look. For example, pay attention to pattern's colors, choose one or two, then use monochrome accessories or shoes and the bag of course. If you do not want to have a completely floral outfit, use floral accessories or coats or just a shirt and then combine them with the proper accessories. Because floral prints typically come in multiple colors, you’ll have multiple styling possibilities.

 

Tips:

1. Combine Floral with Neutral Colors

By saying neutral colors we mean black, white, ivory, grey and beige. Ad as with any other print, it is practically impossible for a floral print to not look good with a solid neutral shade. Using neutrals is another styling option to use when you aren't wearing colors found in the actual print. It's also a good "safety" styling method when you aren't quite sure what to wear, but would like to add floral to your ensemble. Imagine what a plus will be to wear a floral scarf or having a floral bag with a monochrome black or white appearance. This outfit will be just perfect for every occasion, for the office, for a friendly lunch, for having a drink with your friends or boyfriend.

2. Use Accessories

Accessories are must for every outfit. Just imagine how many different outfits and styles you can create with the same clothes and different accessories in colors or styles or materials. Even just one accessory is enough to brighten up an otherwise plain outfit. Chain jewelry or accessories in neon or pastel colors can be combined with floral dresses or shirts and will definitely create something unique. For example for a petit romantic outfit, just use pastel jewelry or petit, elegant chain jewels in gold or silver tones. Larger items such as bags, hats and scarves can add some major color to a look, while jewelry and belts can bring in a light dose of floral fun. It’s always a good idea to have several flower patterned accessories in your wardrobe and use them with monochrome clothes or with the right stripes or even with jeans. Even if you don’t plan ahead, a floral accessory is an easy way to add instant style, especially for your office appearance.

3. Wear Floral With Menswear Inspired Clothing

Blazers, straight leg pants and crisp button can look awesome wearing them with floral details. This will prevent your outfit from looking too monochrome and monotonous, and instead create a classy, mature look. You can use this method for office looks, taking care to balance the ratio of neutrals and bright colors.

4. Pastel or Bright colors?

Both… depends of the occasion, from your style and from your mode! Pastel accessories or crochet shawl and with beautiful sandals or ballerina shoes, will give to your floral outfit a tone of romance! Bright colors or even neon colors will transform your appearance and you will definitely be the center of the party. Use your imagination and create a beautiful outfit perfect for yourself!

Fashion Trends – Stripes

Stripes, the most classical and timeless trend and style in fashion for the past years.  Whether horizontal, vertical, diagonal, thin, thick, black and white or in beautiful colors, stripes make a graphic statement, day or night.  Every year of course the use of the stripes is different. For this Spring and Summer chose them in red and black for a nautical style or in white and black but with different accessories depending on the occasion.  You will see showing up in dresses, skirts, blouses, cropped pants, oversized high waist trousers, knit casual tops... and of course in handbags and  shoes!

Use your imagination and create a stripped appearance with beautiful accessories and you will always be in fashion! Unfortunately stripes can look disastrous if not worn in the right way. So who and how can wear stripes?

Tips

-  Horizontal stripes

Perfect for the slim woman that would like to look a bit heavier or more curvy, especially the bold stripes. Horizontal are perfect to add tension to your smallest parts of your body. For example a woman smaller on the bottom can  use a horizontal striped skirt with a monochrome shirt. if you’re heavier on the hips, wear stripes on tops.

- Vertical stripes

 The petite woman can elongate her figure with vertical stripes. If you are petite in height, but on the heavier keep the stripe vertical, and choose a smaller stripe, don't use bold stripes. If your petite and on the thin side a bolder stripe will make you look a bit bigger. 

 - Diagonal stripes
Perfect for all figure types, but are especially wonderful for the plus size women, as well as tall women with boyish figures. The thin figured woman that loves to look even thinner than thin, the diagonal stripe will make you look even thinner than you are. Use clothes with diagonal stripes and “transform” your thin parts to look more curvy. Because of their schema they create an illusion, think of the direction of the stripe as arrow to your best assets.  emphasize  the best!

And now that we have chosen the correct stripes for our figure, let’s see how can we combine them with accessories or colors.

For a day casual but still unobserved appearance use stripes on shirts with monocrhome pants or skirts or shorts and  chain accessories.

1. Necklace  2.Ring  3.Earrings  4.Purse

A beautiful 60’s fashion midi dress with horizontal bold stripes combined with pastel shoes and topcoat will be just adorable for your cocktail appearance, for a coffee or a short walk in the afternoon.  Put the finishing touch with minimal girly accessories in pastel colors , while a floral handbag will make your appearance more girly, romantic and unique!

And for the night… just use a stretched  dress in black and white and use accessories in deep colors like passion red or cobalt blue. You will be definitely the  focal point!

Monday MoodBoard - Floral Mood

The past weekend my little girl was sick, so despite the fact that here in Greece today is a religion holiday, unfortunately we could not go the short excursion we have planned. No problem at all, since it is better to stay at home and have my sweet Nefeli feeling better.

So instead of sitting in the house and just drawing or playing with the dolls, I bought a few small plants that my Nefeli helped me to dibble. We do have a great time in our small balcony, full of smiles and laughs and yes our mood improved. So what if we stayed inside? I was with people I love and we had a beautiful moments!

That's why my moodboard today is full of flowers.....
