The glass is half full, Cheers to 2014!

2014, the year of learning, living, hurting, loving and more learning. Probably one of the greatest years that definitely shaped my life, no mistake about that. It was the year of my first apartment, the first time I got to decorate my own living room and cook in my own kitchen. It was the year I got my first tree and learned that maybe chinese leftovers for two weeks straight isn’t the smartest thing a 23 year old with her own kitchen should be doing. It was the year of responsibility but also the year of class. Prefering wine over vodka, nights in with the girls instead of sweaty bars and smelly clubs in New York City. Preferring tv show reruns and tea until 3 am instead of bottle service til the crack of dawn. Realizing I wasn’t born to work for anyone but myself, Be my own boss and run my own show. Realizing that perhaps I wasted tons of time with the wrong people. But then again realizing that it wasn’t time wasted since I walked away learning.  Realizing that you only need about 3 good people in your life because those are the ones of who keep it the realest. Lessons and adventure? I was knee deep in both. Which makes me truly grateful.

Stardust: NYE Inspiration

Brace yourselves for tons of sparkles and metallics. Spending my NYE with the good old souls — Valentino and  ‘Gabrielle’ Chanel. Nothing glistens brighter than their work. And nothing surely says I’m killing 2015 more than this vintage sequin mini dress. I mean, I might as well be the ball dropping in Times Square. Add a Timeless piece such as Valentino on top of the sequined piece and perhaps now you mean more business than party but business in a way where wine perhaps is involved? *wink.wink* Like they say, nothing says class like Coco Chanel. A classic piece such as this along with pants or trousers would definitely peal you away from the rest of the crowd. But what’s so bad about that? Absolutely nothing. In order to be number 1, you must be odd. If you already are , you must stay odd. A true believer at that. All these pieces , timelessly found at Thriftwares.net ! It’s not too late, grab your fave and rock it out at midnight!

Come to Greece with me

“The madness of love is the greatest of all the blessings.” Hera said. Madness in her art, she has perfected what I call a rarity in her pieces. Madness is art perfected by Susanna Galanis. Art that strikes people to find that tiny spark of madness within themselves as well– a contagion.  Her passion transcends through every chain linked and every bead captured.   Chained into her jewels, I become transported to her world — forgetting the cold streets of New York. Opening my eyes I only see Ancient Greece. ​ ​“Faraway places and civilizations,  the Gods and Goddesses,  The Kings and Queens of ancient Greece, and all the drama and glory from the past, are my inspirations,” Susanna says. Wherever I go, it’s a whole new era as long as you are wearing her pieces. Capturing not only her passion in the midst of her jewels, I was able to grasp her brand’s story as well. “While I was working at Versace and Bergdorf Goodman, I was wearing my own designs  that I was creating as a hobby. The demand of stylists, editors, celebrities and clients was so high that I was inspired to start my brand in 2004. For 2015 I am planning to grow on national and international sales [wholesale and  online retail ],  increasing distribution with the lower-priced, more commercial line [ xoxoSusanna collection] ,  and open a Susanna Galanis  retail store in NYC.” A true pleasure from a friend and a classic, you’ve blessed my wardrobe with a touch of Greece that I will forever be grateful for.

A Tuesday in my shoes [1/7]

    The Eastern sunrise. Probably the only thing keeping me around New York, fusing my thoughts of living the Californian dream once and for all. Besides my love for fall that is.  But we can talk about Fall another grand time. 9:00am – A day in the life of little ol me.. Sleeping in isn’t really a thing or atleast I try not to let it be a “thing.” Coffee has been injected in my system and by 9:30 I have had already set up all my day’s meetings. Black Coffee. 4 cups. And condensed milk, about 3 tablespoons worth. Doesn’t that kill you? But its what keep me living. So in my book that’s okay.
