Meeting Legendary SATC stylist Patricia Field

Oh yeeeaaaaah!!! I am one happy bunny, why? Earlier today I got the opportunity to meet legendary Sex and the City & Devil Wears Prada super stylist Patricia Field at the MCM boutique in Kolonaki! Wooo hoooo! It was a highly anticipated event organised by Act & React PR, since Patricia designed a limited edition range of bags in collaboration with MCM, German Luxe brand for their 35th anniversary.

I'm probably still buzzing from my excitement today and suffering from a large dose of insomnia (it's currently 1:45am! Yikes-thank God for make-up!) but I thought I'd get this out to those of you across the ocean who are still on Monday.

Patricia Field is everything you'd expect in person, her hair is redder in reality and despite the amount of camera's thrust in her face during the evening, she was always gracious and posed for everybody, bless her. After the arrival of Anna Vissi, Greece's equivalent to Madonna, things got crazy in the MCM boutique and in the stairwell! Everyone wanted a picture!
Later in the evening I found Patricia hiding (?) next to me & my gal pal in the corner of the boutique, we got chatting and after a bit of grilling as to what I was doing in Athens, I discovered that her family is from Lesvos, the island where I met my Mr. Perseus.

This was a brilliant event, I also ran into my fellow blogger buddies tonight too! Yay!

Yup, I also got my little SATC book squiggled on & had a polaroid taken with the legend... and Pat thought it'd be real funny to draw herself a mustache!

After the event, I scooted down to Oikeio restaurant nearby by for some really delish nosh and a good natter with my friends. Ok, it's late, I gotta go get some shut-eye now folks... I'll be sharing some link loving from those who took more snaps! Thank you Act & React!

Update - link love and more pictures from last nights event at Fashion Algorithms

Have a great week!

Well hello there...

A big hello to you guys! I hope all of you have had a terrific start to the new year. For some, this is definitely true as the gorgeous Kristy Elena of Vogue Gone Rogue has gone on to WIN the Sunglass Hut Full Time Fabulous blogging contest! Check her out here!

So, I've kinda been m.i.a of late...huge slap on the wrist for moi, don't worry I haven't totally lost the plot!

I've been focused on a few other things recently

So...

In the past 48 hours i've had a few crazy things happen, from people trying to get a hold of me for the 1st ever Fashion Business Forum in Athens, Greece to lots of e-mails back and forth amongst other things! I had wanted to go in the first place mainly because one of my fashion hero/legends Colin McDowell (legendary fashion writer with a killer sense of humour!) was going to be speaking and i'd read about this event via some of the other blogger's posts, except tickets were at a stonking price!

Long story short, I was kindly invited to attend this event along with 15 other Greek fashion Bloggers by a relatively new online e-shop called Buldoza.gr - so a huge, gigantic, big fat Greek style THANKS to them. BUT they had no way of contacting me as I remain pretty anonymous in my blog. Ok, that has kinda change now, since I have now installed a contact me bit! I was then hunted down by the lovely Pinelopi of Fashion Architect & Katerina of Fashion Algorithms, who have been angels in helping me liaise with the CEO of Buldoza.gr.

The gorgeous Greek Fashion bloggers! Good meeting you luvvues!

So what if I had to pay? By 9:30pm on Sunday I made a decision to go anyway in hope that tickets were definitely on sale, cancel my next day's bits and bobs and make the most of an exciting opportunity to meet the Greek fashion Bloggers, enjoy a great talk by Mr. Fashion and just see what's going on in the fashion industry here. (Post excellently, summed up by Katerina here) Without the help of Panayiotis of Buldoza.gr & Pinelopi, I probably wouldn't have gone or had to part with 'My dream camera budget' savings, so thanks for making it happen guys!
