Because Paris is always a good idea!

Καλημέρα Ελλάδα!

Hi everybody! :) And welcome to Greece! One of the most beautiful and relaxing places in the world...

This is one of the latest sketches I've done. I got inspired by all the beauty I found in this country; and I am very happy with the result. I really love sketching cities, and I also like sketching beautiful models; so I tried to make the combination of both things, which is a bit of a challenge. (technique: Pencil, fine marker and colored pencils.)

Greece is exactly as you can see here... The whole country is blue and white, that's why is so easy to get inspired by this place... The ancient enviroment and marvelous history make you feel so amazed by the country, but at the same time it has a very cozy energy. it's so relaxing and happy...Greece is the place where you don't do anything....you just live and relax, laying on the beach, drinking a cold coffee below the amazing blue sky. 

Souvlaki! something that you cannot miss in Greece, it's a delicious food, cheap and tasty ;) and of course! Don't get surprised when you see hundred of street cats on every corner of Greece.

University of Athens. (In such a beautiful university I would never concentrate... )

Athens Flea Market. The perfect place to spend the whole day, shopping and drinking coffee looking at the Acropolis. 

That's Greece! 

Definitely, Greece is one of this places to visit. I cannot describe it with words. I just can say that is one of the places where I felt more comfortable and happy. Living in Greece is completely different than being a tourist there. But even spending at least one week of your life in that country is going to make you feel so good and inspired that you would like to stay there and spend the rest of your life :) 

I am currently traveling around Italy. Another wonderful place to get inspired with. Where I am spending all my holidays sketching  and sitting in front of  beautiful buildings and great architecture to sketch them. Soon you will see more creations by me. 

Belfast Fashion week

The fancy hotel! It was a royal paradise, there was just missing Paris Hilton :p  

My Fashion Look for the day! A bit dramatic and classic. 

Jimmy Choo shoes, a piece of art! (by the way...They were super cheap! :o)

Minimalistic dress, loved it! and a big red coat, very chic! 

Animal print coat, super glamorous! especially with a pair of  black leggings. Jumper and coat, perfect winter combination. 

I felt in love with the set. It is so beutiful and sexy. Also the  masculine look composed  by  a buttons shirt and a dark blazer  perfectly combined with high heels. 

Dress and leggings, really femenine! And one of my favorite designs, the asymmetric blue coat. 

Enjoying the Fashion week with one of my best fashionista friend :) Sazemina! She is awesome! Great talent, nice point of view and she also blogs her ideas. 

Belfast! :) A place not very well known in Fashion, but with a great emerging talent! 

This was the spotlight city on the last weekend, where the Fashion Week was celebrated with great catwalks, original designs and beautiful models! (by the way...also nice cocktails...) 

The runway was full of elegance and glamour. Every model reminds me a bit of  the 50's fashion where 'being chic' was the main purpose and the woman was looking extremely imposing . Brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Victoria Beckham, Gucci and Jimmy Choo introduced their latest pieces to the public. 

My fashion ladies...!

I am glad to share today the latest sketches that I've been doing at work during the week :P 

Those are all inspired by the autumn-winter Fashion of 2013. Each sketch represents an important piece which have impressed the public and the fashionistas on the catwalks around the world, like in the London Fashion week and the New York fashion week. 

-The Maxi coat -

It's impossible not to pay attention to a big coat that is also colorful. This tendence is one of my favorites for this season. The coat is a very important piece which gives all the power to your look, that's why it has to show happiness and energy, you should just wear your coat full of colour, say good bye to the boring black garment in winter!  

MARKS AND SPENCER

-Tartan-

Chic and punk! Karl Lagerfeld staged this relevant trend wich seems to be the hottest trend for the season. These kind of fabrics are everywhere...hats, coats, bags or scarves! It just looks so sophisticated and poetic! Try to use it with leather and denim to complete your look.  

 

CHANEL

-Prints and pink- 

This time Moschino surprised me with the beautiful runway full of prints and punk style. It is amazing how the collection combined this sweet colour but in a 'rebel way' showing prints and lines in black, white and pink. Also the different kind of fabrics that matched perfectly on every outfit. It is a very cohesive collection. 

 

-Hat and Coat-

Definitely the most elegant tendence! The hat plus the coat could be so chic and so trendy. They are the perfect couple :) You gonna be the spotlight while you wear a big winter hat and a chic coat. 

ZARA

Inspired by nature...

Because nature is not a place to visit... it is home! 

Nature is the place where I feel completely free and inspired...it's the right place to sketch and why not? to bring some fashion as well!

Every artist knows how magical could be working surrounded by nature, let's not say every artist... I think everyone! It's just a truly source of inspiration, the way to take out all your energy while you clean your soul, at the same time it's the place to realized how many beautiful things are here on this world, that's why we should take advantage of it, and go away at least for one day and enjoy a great trip next to the person you love!

That's what we've done a few days ago, and we took these marvelous pictures in a 'very usual' sunny day in Northern Ireland :) This place is exactly ubicated in the coast of Antrim; home of one of the nicest sites of World Heritage -The Giant Causeway- :O 

Nobody there knew exactly the explanation for these cute and mistery rocks... :D But I found the theory!  It is actually the result of a volcanic activity produced 60 million years ago... when highly fluid molten basalt intruded through chalk beds to form an extensive lava base. As the lava cooled rapidly, contraction occurred, leaving this weird horizontal columns.

I thought these telephone cabins where an urban symbol, but finding them around the Irish countryside is such a surprise! It looks even nicer ;) 

We want to bring fashion everywhere! even in the countryside we've got inspired by the cool enviroment to get this outfit. We were really lucky to get this marvelous blue sky and finally a sunny day in Northern Ireland! that's why the outfit has a lot of blue details like the scarf, the jeans and the hat. The skinny jeans are a great way to give some shape to the body when you are wearing a big coat. A HAT! is for sure the protagonist piece of the season, an also gives a dramatic touch to your look. The big scarf in wool from H&M is definitely my favorite piece; its colours and the print are the perfect combination for almost every coat and its big shape shows strenght to your look. My proposal is to wear this kind of scarves with a wide belt around, that's how you can keep your autumn look very feminine.
