L's Outfit: Dear Santa

 Hey all,

 L is back!!! 

 It's been a loooong time since my last post but I'm finally back to my beloved F.G. with a brand new Christmas holiday outfit post. I have to confess that I wasn't so dedicated to Fashion Gossipology because the last few months I was struggling with many issues and changes in my life. Because of that  I didn't have enough time for blogging and I wasn't feel so inspired.  Now, I feel much better; with the new year comes new beginnings.

 Few weeks ago, Anastasia blogger of The howse project , my favourite photographer Foteini Z., the MakeUp Artist Athina Kouzmidou and I decided to do this Christmas photo shoot. We had a lot of fun posing and  playing around that day. This photo shoot took place in "Christmas Factory" in Technopolis, Gazi.

 This is a post about the New Year! So, here is my goals for 2015 or...Dear Santa this year I want to:

1. Be happy
2. Be more ambitious
3. Discover who I am and what I really want from my life
4. Travel more
5. Be more dedicated to Fashion Gossipology

Dear Santa outfit post...

 In this Christmas holiday outfit post my style is casual - rock, I wear a leather like high waisted skirt (Fashion Trend - The Leather Effect), ankle boots, knee socks, a white hoodie shirt and of course Santa's hat.

 Anastasia's style is country - casual, she wear a floral high waisted skirt, a knitted crop top, knee socks, leather booties and Santa's hat.

    Μετά από πολύ καιρό είμαι και πάλι εδώ στο αγαπημένο μου F.G. με μία ολοκαίνουρια γιορτινή ανάρτηση. Πρέπει να ομολογήσω πως δεν ήμουν τόσο αφοσιωμένη στο Fashion Gossipology γιατί τους τελευταίους μήνες έπρεπε να αντιμετωπίσω πολλά θέματα και αλλαγές στη ζωή μου με αποτέλεσμα να μην έχω πολύ χρόνο για να γράφω αλλά ούτε ιδιαίτερη έμπνευση. Τώρα είμαι πολύ καλύτερα και ένας νέος χρόνος με νέα ξεκινήματα έρχεται. 

 Πριν από μερικές εβδομάδες λοιπόν, η Αναστασία από το The howse project, η αγαπημένη μου φωτογράφος Foteini Z., η MakeUp Artist Athina Kouzmidou   και εγώ αποφασίσαμε να κάνουμε αυτήν τη Χριστουγεννιάτικη φωτογράφιση.  Διασκεδάσαμε αρκετά κατά τη διάρκεια της φωτογράφισης η οποία έγινε στο "Christmas Factory" στην Τεχνόπολη στο Γκάζι. 

 Αυτή η ανάρτηση είναι για τη νέα χρονιά! Αυτοί λοιπόν είναι οι στόχοι μου για το 2015 ή αλλιώς...Αγαπητέ Άγιε Βασίλη αυτή τη χρονιά θέλω:

1. Να είμαι χαρούμενη
2. Να είμαι πιο φιλόδοξη
3. Να ανακαλύψω ποια είμαι και τι θέλω από τη ζωή μου
4. Να κάνω περισσότερα ταξίδια
5. Να είμαι περισσότερο αφοσιωμένη στο Fashion Gossipology                                  

  Σε αυτήν τη Χριστουγεννιάτικη - γιορτινή ανάρτηση επέλεξα το στυλ μου να είναι λίγο ροκ και να φορέσω μία ψηλόμεση, τύπου δερμάτινη φούστα (Fashion Trend - The Leather Effect), ένα λευκό μπλουζάκι με κουκούλα, μποτίνια, κάλτσες έως το γόνατο και φυσικά το σκουφί του Άγιου Βασίλη. 

 Η Αναστασία με πιο καθημερινό στυλ, φοράει μία ψηλόμεση λουλουδάτη φούστα, ένα πλεκτό κοντό μπλουζάκι, κάλτσες έως το γόνατο, δερμάτινα μποτάκια και το σκούφο του Άγιου Βασίλη.                                               

                                                                

             

Happy Holidays!!!!

 What do you find fascinating about your job?
 My job as makeup artist allows me to fully express myself! When I take the makeup brushes in my hands my big intention is to see the smile of satisfaction and happiness at the end of my work. This is what I find fascinating about my job and this is what motivates me to try harder.

 Where do you get inspiration for your work?
 Every new face that I meet is an inspiration for me! I try to understand what she likes and to show off  all the beautiful features she has! I'm inspired from woman's personality  and my intention is to do a makeup that fits perfectly in her style!

 Describe your personal style

What are your favorite designers/brands and places to shop?
 I prefer to shop in malls and I don't pay so much attention to brands and designers; I just buy whatever I would like to wear. However, I have to say that Michael Kors is a fashion designer that I like.  

 The first thing you look at in another person's outfit is:
 The total look but sometimes I pay more attention to shoes and bag.

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.

 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.
