3. Emma Watson - Fall 2012 Dior Haute Couture gown. Roger Vivier violet-blue pumps. From the front was just a simple red dress but the back was a surprise! A backless red dress paired with black cropped trousers. Lovely touch the double Dior earring on her left lobe. Emma did an amazing, youthful and outstanding appearance this year! This is style!

Fashion Gossipology by Travelplanet24


 Hey all,

 Firstly, I'd like to apologize because I haven't been so dedicated to F.G. for the last few months, but I have an excuse. So, the reason for my absence was my six month internship in a Travel Agency, called Travelplanet24. Now I'm finally back, inspired from my experience as an intern with a brand new blog post.

 This post is about real life fashion and style at Travelplanet24 by L. and friends. You'll meet some of my friends who work for TP24, you will check their style and their fashion ideas.

What is Travelplanet24?
 Tp24 is a 24/7 online travel agency that was founded in Athens in 2005. It is offering to its visitors flight tickets, hotels and car rental all over the world. The company operates as Tripsta.net and is one of the leading online travel agencies in East and Central Europe with presence in Germany, UK, Italy, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Ireland, Hungary, Serbia and Turkey. (www.tripsta.net; www.kariera.gr) Only in Greece it operates by the name Travelplanet24.com.

 From my point of view TP24 is a safe and trustworthy on-line company. It has young, talented, open minded, crazy-enough team in a fun, multicultural and multilingual environment. There is no dress code, every employee is allowed to wear whatever he wants and each one of them has his very own, personal style!

 It's time to meet some friends from Travalplanet24/Tripsta and do fashion gossipology with them.

 Αρχικά θα ήθελα να απολογηθώ για την ελλιπή μου αφοσίωση τους τελευταίους μήνες, έχω όμως καλή δικαιολογία. Ο λόγος της απουσίας μου ήταν η εξάμηνη πρακτική μου άσκηση στο ταξιδιωτικό γραφείο Travelplanet24. Επέστρεψα όμως εμπνευσμένη από αυτή μου την εμπειρία με ολοκαίνουρια ανάρτηση.

 Αυτή η ανάρτηση έχει να κάνει με τη μόδα και το στυλ στην Travelplanet24. Θα συναντήσετε κάποιους φίλους που εργάζονται στο TP24, θα τσεκάρεται το στυλ και τις απόψεις τους για τη μόδα.

 Τι είναι το Travelplanet24;
 Το TP24 είναι ένα διαδικτυακό τουριστικό γραφείο που ιδρύθηκε το 2005 στην Αθήνα. Προσφέρει στους επισκέπτες της ιστοσελίδας αεροπορικά και ακτοπλοϊκά εισιτήρια, ξενοδοχεία και ενοικιαζόμενα αυτοκίνητα. Η εταιρεια λειτουργεί ως Tripsta.net και είναι μία από τις ηγέτιδες διαδικτυακές, ταξιδιωτικές εταιρείες στην Ανατολική και Κεντρική Ευρώπη με παρουσία σε Γερμανία, Ην. Βασίλειο, Ιταλία, Πολωνία, Ρουμανία, Ρωσία, Ουκρανία, Ιρλανδία, Ουγγαρία, Σερβία και Τουρκία. Ως Travelplanet24.com λειτουργεί μόνο στην Ελλάδα.

 Από τη δική μου οπτική είναι μία ασφαλής και ειλικρινής διαδικτυακή εταιρεία. Έχει ένα νέο, ταλαντούχο, ανοιχτό σε νέες ιδέες και αρκετά τρελό δυναμικό, σε ένα ευχάριστο, πολυπολιτσμικό και πολύγλωσσο περιβάλλον. Δεν υπάρχει κάποιος ενδυματολογικός κώδικας, κάθε εργαζόμενος μπορεί να φορέσει ότι επιθυμεί και κάθε ένας από αυτούς έχει το δικό του προσωπικό στυλ.

Ελπίζω πως βρίσκετε τα θέματα μας χρήσιμα και θα ήθελα να γνωρίζεται πως το κίνητρο μου είναι η αγάπη μου για τη μόδα και να γράφω γι'αυτήν αλλά και το πάθος και η περιέργεια μου για την έρευνα.

 Επίσης είναι σημαντικό να ευχαριστήσω όλους τους φίλους που είναι στο πλευρό μου, με βοηθούν να κάνω αυτό το ιστολόγιο καλύτερο, με εμπνέουν και το κάνουν γνωστό!

  Αυτή είναι η πρώτη ανάρτηση της χρονιάς!

 Διανύουμε επίσημα πια το 2014 και είμαστε πανέτοιμοι να δούμε όλες τις νέες τάσης της μόδας. Πριν από αυτό όμως, νομίζω πως είναι μία καλή ευκαιρία για μια ανασκόπηση. Ώρα να ρίξουμε μια ματιά στις τάσεις του 2013 και να ελέγξουμε τι μπορούμε να κρατήσουμε για το νέο έτος και τι όχι.

My best wishes for a happy and funny 2014!!
