Happy Feet: Mariettas Fantasy Sandal Collection 2012

Hot, sunny weather has been storming the shores of Greece for quite some time now, so it's only appropriate that I find some decent footwear that is not only comfortable but stylish. Note, I am a sucker for colour & detail or something dead simple, understated but stylish too - very contradictory (but yes I am that kinda girl, it's either all or nothing with me). I managed to discover the perfect amalgamation of all these things in Marietta's Fantasys new collection.

 Let me introduce you to Greek beauty Marietta Chrousala, TV personality and model (who, believe me looks even more gorgeous in the flesh) whose collection was born out of reaction in not finding the ultimate pretty, comfortable sandal. Marietta ended up doing a bit of cratista by making her own leather sandal with the help of her uber crafty mum and together they created their very first pair of decorative sandals. When strangers stopped her in the street on numerous occasions to ask where they could buy a pair, she knew it was the moment to branch out & design a collection. It took about a year to complete the design process to actual launch of the collection via the online boutique and now she's considering plans to expand into the accessories area... you heard it here first loves!

 Each pair have a slight heel and comfy non slip soles


Calling all cupcake lovers!

 My faves - the black and nude patent leather thong with skull or crown motif - I think I want both, one for day and one for night!

The majority of Marietta's collection leather sandal remind me of all things summery & happy; it's super girly, pretty, playful and colourful, with two gorgeous patent numbers, which I couldn't help but swoon over (see photos above). There are around 30 odd styles in the new collection, with new styles coming soon for high summer, all of which are handmade by Marietta and her mother and produced in Greece with slip resistant soles. Perfect for not wiping out on Athens dodgy pavements I say!
Lastly I adore the new pink & black zebra foldable flip flop - which you can sneak into your (teeny) bag if you're suffering from a spot of tired feet! For more information, please visit Marietta's Fantasy.

Thanks to Zoe, Aliki & Marietta for having me! It was so good seeing you beautiful ladies!

Fashion's Night Out: Athens Star Gazing

Well good evening folks, I hope your week of work is edging closer to the weekend! You'll have to excuse my absence this week, it's been a bit ker-a-zee! I can't wait to catch up with my favourite reads over the weekend and check out new blogs too!

Yesterday evening Athens celebrated Vogue's Fashions Night Out in the super chic Kolonaki area. This is my 2nd ever FNO and I had the BEST time ever! Despite the sweltering humidity and insane heat (why did I wear jeans?!), I had a great time hanging out with Alexandra Katsaiti, Stylist to the Stars at the Massimo Dutti store where she was lending her style prowess to shoppers.

This lady's work is on another level, Alex K, is a bit of a somebody in Greece and is renown for constantly evolving & creating one of my fave Greek entertainers/singer, Tamta looks. (More on this gorgeous lady another time!)
As I write this, Tamta is about to unveil a completely new look tonight at the Amita Motion Concert at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens. How exciting?!

Anyhoos, I'm totally loving Alex K's kooky cool style, check out her cute polka Mary Janes!

The Massimo Dutti staff were also busting out remarkable style as were Alex K's friends!

My next port of call was Gucci, where I ran into the stunning Model & TV presenter Marietta Chrousala (far left) and gorgeous friends. There were so many amazing events happening everywhere in Kolonaki, mouth-watering cocktails galore and such an impressive turn out! I had so much fun! Now I need a little time to rest (my head) and indulge in my weekend...

What are you all doing this weekend? Have fun whatever your plans!
