I want you by Elvis Costello-The song and the outfit



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knTvHRz_qnU

Hello my friends, today I am in the mood for some autumn romance...Therefore I picked this marvellous song and tried to compile an outfit so as to much with the last part of the photoshooting with Kostis. It doesn't happen often but the past few days I am so upset minded. Probably it happens because I am in the end of one of my researches (the real part of my life) and I desperately need a short period of thinking. Anyway, I am pretty sure that these things do not interest you. 

Lace traditionally is connected with classy ladies, seduction and generally femme fatales. In the photoshoots I am wearing a dress from the collaborator of Venetia Ioakim and the shoes are from personal collection. Unfortunately summer is done and we enter the melancholic season of Autumn. As a traditional dark and cold wave music fan, I have to admit that I do not mind some melancholy especially when it is combined with such beautiful clothes and accessories. Just imagine wearing this beautiful royal blue dress while you are enjoying a glass of wine during a dinner in a French Restaurant with the object of your affection. Staring each other in the eyes and in both of your faces the smile does not fade. You talk on and on about your favourite books, music, films...where you have been, what you have done...talk about everything, completing each other's sentences. 

Underneath the table you nervously half-taking your shoe off and then back again and this goes on and on. Your heart beats irregularly why you get lost to his eyes and instinctively you play with your earrings. Butterflies in your stomach emerge because you have finally found your "Master" and you became his "Margarita" since you know that for him you will fly under the moon towards the devil to become the hostess of a macabre dance in order to save him (ref: Master and Margarita by Bulkakov). And he, on the other hand, stares at you like you are a fragile porcelain doll, frightened to touch according to his urges in the fear of breaking you. You are his "Kudra" and he knows that as "Alobar" he will lose all the incentives for eternity if he is not with you (ref: Jitterbug Perfume by Robbins). But you can see that he struggles not to become "Juan Pablo"and grab you while shouting with despair that he needs you (ref: Tunnel by Sabbato). The perfect dinner isn't it?

The dress will look at its best if you combine it with playful tights. In that case I picked a rather intriguing one with polka dots. The jacket even though it has a casual shape, it's silky texture along with the oriental pattern enhances the sense of uniqueness and style without looking too preppy. The shoes with their patented detail gives a slight sense of rock attitude which is enhanced with the Thomas Sabo earrings. The clutch is a classic one where you can use it to numerous other outfits due to its vintage design and neutral colours...So, my friends, dress up and fascinate your prince charming. Be the one that will kiss him and awake him from his emotional slumber.

Loads of kisses

Evil Eye by Franz Ferdinand-The song, a photoshooting and two outfits


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIR5vBiC3ig

I am so sorry my friends for not posting for sooooooooooooo long anything but on the one hand it is
summer and on the other hand it is sales period so it is rather difficult to find clothes, shoes etc. However I am back and after searching in the shops I found some lovely outfits but most importantly great music. In the 26th of August one of my fav bands are going to have their new album called "Right thoughts, right words, right Actions". I have listened already almost all the songs in live shows and I have to say that it is brilliant. Cannot wait one more month. But one of the songs that caught my attention is the one called "Evil Eye". In Greek Culture the evil eye curse is very popular and usually is caused because of the envious feelings of people. The song will be released with the new album but you can have listen to the remix of it (the beginning is very close to the original version) by the Norwegian DJ Terje Olsen (you can find the link under the photo of the band). What's my opinion about it? It sounds like the theme song of Jack Skellington's twisted
fantasies. I love that haunting and ominous sound. The photos were taken again by my friend Kostis (you can find his link in the tab above) and the black dress is by Venetia Ioakim (you can also find her link in the tab above). The photoshooting took place in a theatre in Athens where someone sneaked us in. It was a hilarious experience because at one point at 1:00 am the owners decided to come by for a visit and me and Kostis had to hide for almost half an hour in a corner of the stage! Anyhoo, the point is that you have to enjoy every moment in your life. In these two
outfits please pay attention to the tights. They make your legs look so much better not to mention that
the dress slips better henceforth it fits better. The blue dress that I am wearing in the photoshoot is from personal collection but thankfully I found something similar in Miss Selfridge. So Pick up one of the outfits and decide if you are a good princess or an Evil queen, listen to some good music, have the people you love next to you and enjoy a glass of good wine...Nothing can be better than that. Wear anything that suits you and don't forget your attitude that makes you special...Goodbye for now and see you soon by most beautiful people.

Love

Lady K.

Chevy Thunder by The Spector- The song and the outfit



You can make your mood a little bit better with an outfit that is sexy and stylish and obviously you CANNOT wear it at your day work! I have recently tried this striped skirt and I loved it, it makes your hips really curvy (in a good way), as for the leotard it is amazingly 80s but you can find it only online. Since the hourglass figure is really desirable the best thing you can do in order to succeed it is to wear a wide waist belt like the embedded one that I saw recently at "Topshop". As you have figured out I am obsessed with the black and white combination but leave it as it be, it can be quite boring, therefore a red lace jacket and floral shoes can save the day! The bag is on sale so if you like it just hurry! I wish you a nice week to you all and most importantly do not forget to hear this amazing song!It just makes my day better.

'till we meet again
