Whether you simply love fashion or to follow trends then Im sure you know that denim is all around ; magazines,shops ,in your closet?
So I thought it would be nice to suggest you ways of wearing it,where to buy it and how it's the ultimate trend right this moment .

But what is it and where does it come from ?

denim
— n
1.	a. a hard-wearing twill-weave cotton fabric used for trousers, work clothes, etc
	b. ( as modifier ): a denim jacket

The word "denim" comes from the name of a fabric that was first made in the city of Nîmes, France, by the André family. It was originally called serge de Nîmes but the name was soon shortened to "denim."

Denim has been used in the United States since the late 18th century.

Denim was traditionally colored blue with indigo dye to make blue jeans, although "jean" formerly denoted a different, lighter, cotton fabric. The contemporary use of the word "jean" comes from the French word for Genoa, where the first denim trousers were made.

                                                                              spring summer closet tips :

 We may be at the beginning of another fashion season and ready to wear out warm-days outfits but the new trends for fall-winter 2014-2015 are up and seeking for our attention .
How I’m supposed to choose the right kind of shorts and shoes for spring when I’m automatically put in the mood of looking for the best coat for winter? Don’t you feel that this rush for the future trends is disturbing your spring mood?

More often than not , however magazines sacrifice the needs of the readers in order to be fashion forward ….

I mean when I open a magazine I want to see ideas that will inspire me and articles that will make me think in a different way, not just swallow pages with expensive brads advertising their products .I want shop things that I will wear immediately not just “investment pieces” hanging useless in my closet.                              ...... too cool for school

shoes... to go

If you're thinking about buying new shoes for spring and you want something comfortable enough to walk a lot everyday then you shouldn't  miss the new Keds collection which bears the signature of Taylor Swift .

I firstly saw them on teen vogue suggesting them as the ultimate trend for this summer.

I believe that their price is quite normal ; 55$ =39eur 

But I was very disappointed that keds company  ships only among the US and the European site only in Austria,Belgium,Brazil Germany,Ireland,Luxembourg,Netherlands,UK and of course not in Greece...So If I want  to buy a pair of Keds this year I have to choose from a limited range of colors and patterns from hollister who finally ships to the country I live...

So for the european site click here.

And If you're fornutate enough to live in the US click here.

My favorite illustrations until today

Hello! Today I'm excited to share with you the work I've done since the middle of July .I preferred to choose this period because in July I got my present gift which was 17 copic markers ; If you've ever been interested in illustration I'm sure that you have heard of them .They are amazing and they let express myself even more with color.I decided to make this post mostly for personal reasons and to check how my talent have grown in the last 8 months. All pictures belongs to me and they are painted with markers/pencil ,editing with the help of picmonkey.com . I edited them so you can have a better understanding of the colours 'cause I have no idea how to use a scanner (shame on me ).

Why do I draw?
Because I've been doing this all my life and with the help of the Internet someday I was fortunate enough to understand what I want from my life and how to use my skills in something productive.
What do I mean? That when I was in 8th grade I used to play fashion games all the time (mostly stardoll) and I know this may sounds hilarious but it really help me find myself and that's why today I know what I want to study (fashion designing).

I didn't used to believe that I'm actually talented enough to draw illustrations since last December when  a teacher from school taught us how to draw a figure ...I fell in love with the procession ,searched it on the net and here I'm now sharing with you my illustrations.

Please let me know what you think of them but please don't be rude and If have something to suggest; I love feedback !
