Fashion Trend - The Leather Effect


Hello Gossipologists!

 The today's post is about the Leather Effect Fashion Trend. Leather and leather like clothes are now in fashion more than ever. You can wear your leather effect clothes every hour of the day and for any occasion. Is your style rock, girly, casual or conservative? Leather is the perfect touch for any of them.
 Take a look, how to wear your leather effect clothes, the leather trend for Spring/Summer 2014 from the world's noted  fashion designers, some celebs in leather effect clothes and of course the Under €50 project.

 Leather loves being paired with opposite, soft materials like wool, suede, velvet and cotton. You can try a total leather look but it's really risky, at least you have to keep it low with no glowing leather like materials or make it vibrant with the right choice of a vivid color blocking.

 Leather Effect bottoms are a hot fashion trend. Black color is a safe choice, but you can also try the praline-brown (like Mira did in the bellow picture), bordeaux, blue and green. Every type of skirt is in fashion. My favourite type for S/S 2014 is a high waisted, midi, airy, pleated skirt!

 Η σημερινή ανάρτηση αφορά την καυτή τάση της μόδας, τα δερμάτινα ρούχα. Ρούχα από αληθινό δέρμα, από δερματίνη και από υφάσματα που δείχνουν όπως το δέρμα είναι πιο μοδάτα από ποτέ. Μπορούν να φορεθούν κάθε ώρα της ημέρας και για κάθε περίσταση. Είναι το στυλ σου ροκ, κοριτσίστικο, καθημερινό ή συντηρητικό; Τα δερμάτινα κομμάτια μπορούν να γίνουν η απόλυτη πινελιά σε κάθε ένα στυλ από αυτά.

 Ρίξε μία ματιά πως να φορέσεις τις δερμάτινες επιλογές σου, τις συλλογές που πρότειναν δερμάτινα ρούχα για Άνοιξη/Καλοκαίρι 2014 από τους διασημότερους σχεδιαστές μόδας στον κόσμο και φυσικά το Under €50 project που είναι εδώ για να σου δώσει κατευθύνσεις για να βρεις τη σημερινή τάση πάντα σε τιμές κάτω των €50.

 Το δέρμα αγαπά να συνδυάζεται με αντίθετα, μαλακά υλικά όπως το μαλλί, βελούδο και βαμβάκι. Μπορείς να ρισκάρεις με ένα σύνολο εξ ολοκλήρου από δέρμα αλλά θα πρέπει να προσπαθήσεις να το κρατήσεις σε χαμηλούς τόνους, αποφεύγοντας τα πολύ γυαλιστερά δέρματα και υφάσματα ή να το κάνεις ζωντανό, χρωματιστό και διασκεδαστικό επιλέγοντας ένα έξυπνο συνδυασμό χρωμάτων (το γνωστό color blocking).



While i was writing this post this funny memory crossed my mind...Enjoy it!

Grammy Awards 2014 "Red Carpet Gossipology"


Glam Friday Gossipologists!!

 The 56th Grammy Awards were held on January 26 2014, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The biggest stars of the music world and many other celebs appeared on the Grammy's red carpet. I have to say that this year Grammy Awards was a fashion disaster but i managed to find the 10 best (or just decent) looks of the night.

  Check out the Red Carpet Gossipology post for the 3 best dressed of the music night and a few more interesting appearances. Also, this year i felt that i had to do a top 3 of the worst looks as well. And so i did.


 Top 3 best dressed...


1. Ciara - Emilio Pucci bronze gown. She was looking stunning in her metallic dress!! An excellent dress, hair style and make up choice from Ciara! It was the best maternity red carpet appearance i have ever seen!

2. Taylor Swift - Gucci Premiere gown and Jimmy Choo sandals. Taylor stood out in her metallic form fitting dress. (Fashion Gossipology: Last year Taylor Swift took the third place in the Top 3 Grammy Awards 2013 "Red Carpet Gossipology")

3. Katy Perry - Valentino S/S 2014 Couture gown and Christian Louboutin pumps. She was looking gorgeous in this "music" gown. A white, tulle dress with musical notes on the skirt! Katy is used to make extraordinary appearances on the red carpet. (Fashion Gossipology: What she wore at Grammy Awards 2013 "Red Carpet Gossipology" ?)

  • Zendaya Coleman - Emanuel Ungaro S/S 2014. Zendaya wore a sheer black shirt paired with a long, airy skirt. This wasn't a typical red carpet look but it was fresh, youthful, rock and she was looking lovely in it! Perfect details the smokey eye and the Christian Louboutin pointy pumps!

  • Sarah Hyland - Emilio Pucci Pre F/W 2013-14 dress and Casadei strap sandals. A lovely B&W dress. A safe choice for Sarah. She was chic and sweet!

 Η 56η απονομή βραβείων Grammy έγινε στις 26 Ιανουαρίου 2014, στο Staples Center στο Λος Άντζελες της Καλιφόρνια. Τα μεγαλύτερα ονόματα της μουσικής αλλά και πολλοί ακόμα αστέρες πέρασαν από το κόκκινο χαλί των βραβείων. Οφείλω να ομολογήσω πως τα φετινά Grammy ήταν μια στιλιστική καταστροφή  αλλά φρόντισα να βρω τις 10 καλύτερες (ή αξιοπρεπέστερες) εμφανίσεις της βραδιάς.
 Παραπάνω θα βρείτε τις τρεις καλύτερες εμφανίσεις και μερικές ενδιαφέρουσες ακόμα. Επίσης φέτος ένιωσα την υποχρέωση (σχεδόν) να κάνω και ένα τοπ 3 με τις χειρότερες ενδυματολογικά παρουσίες της βραδιάς κι έτσι έκανα. 


My favourite performance of the music night!!

Fashion Trend - Fifty Shades of Blue


 Hey all,

 it's been a while since the last Fashion Trend but here we are with a new one. Fifty Shades of Blue, i know the  fifty shades of "something"  is a cliche, but it was the first thing that crossed my mind because all shades of blue (blue-black, blue, baby blue, light blue, dark blue, indigo, aquamarine, midnight blue, navy blue, denim blue etc)  are in fashion for the season Fall/Winter 2013-14 and Spring 2014.

 None of the shades of blue was ever preferable by me. However, i wear clothes in blue but all of them are presents from friends, i never purchased one. Although, i have to admit that this autumn i started to like the blue pallete.[Crazy thing that purple (red+blue) is my favourite colour, but that's only me!]

 In this post you'll find some ideas how to style your clothes in shades of blue, the blue trend from the best known fashion houses and celebs who wear this colour. Also, The Under €50 project is here to help you find clothes in blue and in a low price.


 How to wear your clothes in shades of blue? 

 Check out the best 3 ways:

1. Blue and Black.
A strong and great result. Dark shades of blue & black is my favourite combo!
(Source: www.whatstrend.com)

2. The costume in shades of blue.
Shades of blue paired really nice with white. Overpower the monochromatic set with a white shirt. Also, you may try a "total" blue outfit, a blue jumpsuit would be great but pair it with white pointy pumps. Just perfect!
(Source: www.kayture.com)

3. Floral or geometrical pattern in shades of blue.
Pants, leggings, skirts or a dress it will be a lovely and interesting touch in your style.

 Έχει περάσει καιρός από την τελευταία Fashion Trend ανάρτηση, αλλά εδώ είμαστε με μία νέα. Ο τίτλος Πενήντα αποχρώσεις του Μπλε. Το ξέρω πως το 50 αποχρώσεις του "οτιδήποτε" αποτελεί πλέον κλισέ, μα ήταν ο πιο ταιριαστός τίτλος και το πρώτο που σκέφτηκα αφού φέτος όλες οι αποχρώσεις του μπλε (μπλε ανοιχτό, μπλε σκούρο, θαλασσί, μαυρομπλέ, βαθύ μπλε κ.α.) είναι όλα τάση της μόδας για Φθινόπωρο/Χειμώνα 2013-14 και την Άνοιξη 2014.

 Οι αποχρώσεις του μπλε δεν ήταν ποτέ οι αγαπημένες μου. Παρ' όλα αυτά φοράω μπλε ρούχα αλλά συνήθως είναι δώρα φίλων, δεν έχω αγοράσει ποτέ κάτι μπλε από μόνη μου. Όμως θα πρέπει να παραδεχτώ πως το περασμένο φθινόπωρο άρχισαν να μου αρέσουν κάποιες αποχρώσεις του μπλε και μπορεί κανείς να κάνει πολύ στυλάτους συνδυασμούς με αυτό. [Το παράδοξο της περίπτωσης μου είναι πως το μωβ (μλπε + κόκκινο) είναι το αγαπημένο μου χρώμα, μα αυτή είμαι εγώ!]

 Σε αυτήν την ανάρτηση θα βρείτε ιδέες πως να συνδυάσετε τα ρούχα σας στις αποχρώσεις του μπλε, την μπλε τάση από τους μεγαλύτερους οίκους μόδας και κάποιους αρκετά διάσημος που αγαπούν και φορούν το μπλε. Φυσικά πάντα είναι εδώ και το Under €50 project να σας βοηθήσει να βρείτε οικονομικές λύσεις για το "μπλε" στυλ σας.
