A Cat at AXDW

Disclaimer: the Cat, does not consider herself a fashion blogger. There are others, way more devoted and better skilled (plus, with better cameras) to do this job. The Cat has been a blogger since 2005 and only lately, started incorporating photos and some fashion elements in her posts. That being said, the Cat did go to the opening show of AXDW, met up with the lovely fashion bloggers Chloe in the Sky, Fashion Architect, SohoSymposium, AleccaRox and Fashion Paths (for links, check left side of page)and generally had fun with her Amalucky.
Here's what the Cat saw...


The AXDW place, still empty.


My good friend Christina Zarda, styling backstage for the Ego!Weekly show, posing here with Amalucky (with matching outfits!)


People from Liberis Publications have started to arrive in order to help with the show


(that's Maria and Maria with their matching shoes)

and the very glamorous Natalia from Hello! Magazine


Then, the Cat and Amalucky went backstage



That's Anousa Mela from Ego!Weekly

And that's Mihalis Koronis, our photographer from Digital Studio Liberis, never missing a chance!

And that's us, in the middle of everything!




But where are the clothes? Ah, here they are!

Ok, time for some serious rest before the show!

The models, outside, indulging in a few bites

So we had time to explore the concept store and the clothes


and of course, pose in front of works of art!

Then, the lovely fashion bloggers appeared (sohosymposium, chloeinthesky,lopilopi,)
Life Full of Fashion with her lovely new camera, Alecca Rox with her lovely Anna Oikonomou bag


Annousa again, with a different outfit, reminded us that's it's time for the Ego! Weekly show




So, we entered the room...

Met up with the more-sexy-than-evah Christiana from FashionPaths

And Angie from Liberis Creative department (isn't she a doll?)

loaded up our secret weapons, iPhone and chocolate...



...and prepared to enjoy the show!

P.S. As I said in the Disclaimer a few hundred pictures above, for photos of the shows and of the following days of AXDW, you should go to the lovely fashion bloggers mentioned above (and probably to the other fashion bloggers who have been there, and I just didn't have the pleasure of meeting them yet). Thank you for enduring this humongous post. Dear Eliana, sleep tight!

Dear Winter, don't go just yet...

(hot chocolate and milk cream at Trocadero, Paris, 2008)

...said the Cat.
Yes, yes, on a previous post she craved for spring.
But now that she comes to think of it, she's not ready yet to say goodbye to a few of her favorite winter things.

Like her Mom's feather's coat,that brings back memories from Bologna (really cold there, so the Cat finally had to be persuaded to wear it!)

(No, that is not Bologna, it's Marina Zeas, Piraeus. Feather's coat, Mango. Dress, tights, shoes, Asos. Leopard print top, Swap Not Shop Party No3)

Or the Cat's favorite beannie and the coat that (she thinks) goes with everything!

(yes, the Cat realises she looks like a smurf here, thanks. White beannie, a gift. Coat, Primark.Mustard jacket, H&M. Dress, vintage. Chandelier earrings, Achilleas Accessories.Ring, Accessorize)

Or the colourfull tights the Cat still sees everywhere

(the Cat's dearest co-worker Vicki. Love her retro yet dynamic colour choices!)



(ok, this is actually a spring dress. But doesn't it look way more elegant with some grey tights? Dress, Mango. Tights and beannie, you know. Shoes, Faith)

Or the certainty of black tights, that give you the freedom of styling them in many ways

(take Jenny's ladylike outfit, for example. Jenny is our Fashion Director and proud mom of two!)



(or the Cat's girlie one. Grey shorts, H&M. top, no idea. Old top cut and worn as a cardigan, no idea. Earrings, a gift. Tights, Asos. Ballerina flats, Melissa)

Plus, when the no-tights season is officially on... the Cat must run to the gym!!!


What will YOU miss the most about winter?

(grey sweater, a gift. Ring and earrings, Accessorize. Christmas lights and cup, Covent Garden, London 2010)

It's OK to...

Most of you probably know that the Cat, among other things, writes the monthly column "It's OK to" for her beloved Glamour Magazine.
And it's really one of her favorite columns, because it's a constant reminder that life can be and should be 100% guilt free.

So, really, it's OK to...

...Dress up in your "normal" clothes for Carnival

(The Cat, styled as Gwen Stefani, with the kind help of her friend M. Jacket, Stradivarious. T-shirt, Zara. Gloves, bikini and socks, no idea. Tracksuit pants, Puma. Scarf worn as a belt, H&M. Shoes, Pimkie)



...Equally love your books and shoes (and equally shop and stock both)

(heels, Office. Books: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy, Douglas Adams. My Booky Wook, Russell Brand. Tristram Shandy, Laurence Sterne)


...Envy your friend's style (although you know the things they wear would never look half that good on you)
(the Cat's best friend, Evi, who has spent one too many nights watching Next Top Model:p The Cat adores her, and her preppy school girl meets urban chic combo)

(notice the brooch...)

(even cowgirls get the blues...)

And this is lovely Alex, the Cat's friend and co-worker. A rock chick with a skater attitude and loads of drama - well, she IS an actress!)

(she loves skulls and will always love dear McQueen...)

(To shop or not to shop? That is the question!)



...Find style inspiration in silly little things

(Green, mustard and grey? Anytime. Reading glasses case, Octopus. Dress and belt, Sfera. Mustard cardi, well, see previous post)



...or in your imaginary friends

(The Joker, photo from imdb.com. Dress, Asos. Scarf, H&M. Belt, Asos. Bag, Moschino).




...have a weird crush on this guy

(Katy Perry's boyfriend, photo from JustJared)
...or this guy

(the notorious Cat's boyfriend. Unfortunately, that's not his real hair:p)


...love fluo a bit too much

(necklace, no idea. Nail polish, Essie. Jeans, Asos. Shoes, Oasis. Bangle, H&M)


But hey, it's NOT OK to...
...Forger you hated it, just because it's hot right now!

I mean, cycling shorts as the new leggings? Really now? (picture from asos.com)

What is "OK to" for you?
Let the Cat know (and she will post about it or write about it in next month's issue)...
