Forever New - Bags

I recently got introduced to the Australian brand Forever New. At first I thought that they would probably be a copy of Forever 21 but after I viewed their online store , I was left speechless. The uniqueness of the clothes they are designing is unbelievable. I wish we had such amazing stores in Greece too , so that people could actually meet the real fashion and not dress so cheap and look like rainbows. Of course , Forever New aimed at my greatest path and shot me right in the heart. I always had a thing for bags and now I have a BIG thing for them. The designs , colours and shapes they use are so amazing!The most used colours are baby pink , white and black , which I think they are brilliant because they can be combined very easily. The designs are very simple and they can be used either for a special occasion or even for an everyday walk. They have all the kinds of bags (Big bags , small bags , clutches ,wallets and travel seize) but my personal favorites are the travel seized ones and the big ones. You can see that I have a specific attraction to big things!Xoxo. I forgot to mention that the prices are very logic.
The link to their online store is right here and the link to their bags collection is right here 
Thanks for reading and I wish you a lovely friday!

New York Street Style

Today I realised that I need a change in my life so I decided to improve my style or maybe even change it a little so I came to the conclusion that searching street style either on Tumblr or Google would help me a LOT..And so it did! Street style outfits always help me to get inspired on how to dress and they give me amazing ideas on how to combine my clothes and look perfect! Of course I could never look as flawless as the models that appear in them but it's always worth trying right? I found a site where I can view THOUSANDS of street style pictures and now I know how I'm gonna spend my remaining day xoxo. I'm gonna share with you my little secret too , you can find the site in this adress , it includes everything about fashion and I think it will be very helpful with your style, your blog, your wardrobe or whatever you can use it for, but firstly you will have to do a registration, it won't take long and it's free so , what are you waiting for?
Thanks for reading and I love you xxx

Daniela Braga

I was at my Tumblr Dashboard , browsing and reblogging things when I came across a beautiful picture of one of the prettiest women I've ever seen. The picture was belogging to the Brazilian model Daniela Braga. I decided to make an arcticle about her because I think that she is somehow underestimated.
I googled her and had a look on her works , she has actually worked for many famous brands such as Givenchy , Paco Rabanne , MaxMara, Mayiet etc. She has also been published in V magazine and had a photoshoot with "NEXT MODELS". I wish she would also work for Victorias Secret cause she totally have the looks for their Angels. I don't know why I got so obsessed with her but I felt like I had to show you her work! Here you can see her interview for Vogue Magazine. I hope you like her as much as I do!
Thanks for reading I love you! xxx Zoe







Golden Globe Awards 2013 And After Party

So I just viewed the GGA 2013 and the after ( Worner Bros.)  party photos with the celebrities fashion choices. To be honest , they were some dresses that I didn't like at all and some of them that got me OVERLY excited! I got dissapointed by many celebrities on their choices (Jessica Alba ,Emma Roberts, Zooey Deschanel , Jennifer Lawrence etc.) but in the meantime , some of them , surprised me! The dominating colours were shades of pink ranging from vibrant coral to the softest nudes and blush but they were also some darker shades growing from red to black. I have got to admit People's Choice's awards left me with better impressions than this one.
I'm gonna show you some of my favourite appearances but you can also see them yourself here and choose your personal favourite!
Thanks for reading and have a lovely Monday xx Zoe

Thoughts on SS 2013 Cheap Monday Collection

I've always been a CM fan and I always enjoyed their clothes without being too excited about them. Now I just viewd the SS 2013 Collection which left me with very good impressions. Both clothes and designs were very simple! They used symmetric lines in their clothes and also cuts in them. I also noticed they made some of their pieces see-through ( I liked the idea very much). Anyways I have to admit I might purchase some of their pieces in near future 'cause I fell in love with them! You can take a look here for women and here for men. You can also view their fashion show here. Their fashion show was on 29th August ( oh-well) for their Spring - Summer collection.Last but not least , I have to mention that their prices are very low and logic!
Thanks for reading! Have an amazing life xxx Zoe
