Little Red Lips

Teodoras Lookbook Peplum Dress 1

There are so many reasons that make me enjoy this ensemble – the clash of classic and edgy, the tailored fit, the red lips… I read this quote in the September InStyle issue and wanted to share it with you:

“Red lipstick is to beauty what the Little Black Dress is to fashion. The difference is that when you walk into a room wearing a red lip, people notice you.” Francois Nars

You have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful week. Mine was not action packed but was full with dreams and inspiration. Why am I talking about risk in the title of this post? Because I felt I was taking one when I left the house yesterday in the outfit below. Checkered and stripes? In different colors? These are the questions I read in some of my co-workers’ eyes and some even “dared” to voice them. To which I replied, that “fashion greatness was not born in safety”. Needless to say, they were even more puzzled.

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far. I have been struggling with a couple of issues with my blog and finally had one fixed. When I did the change from Blogger to WordPress, the RSS feed and Bloglovin were not updating. All it took was to contact the Bloglovin support to get that fixed. In addition with WordPress I have been getting a tons of comments spam. I have been able to decrease some of it but if you have any suggestions on how you deal with WordPress spam, please feel free to share. It will be greatly appreciated by myself and my hubby who has been burning the midnight oil on this. I thought WordPress was much better ???No? I hope this is one change that results in improvement, if not perfection :)

And on a more positive note, here is one of my work outfits (yes, we are that relaxed) from last week. Till next time, style it up!

xoxo, Teodora

Bree Van de Kamp

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving day. I had a great time with my closest US friends and family. Because of my outfit, I was named the Bree Van de Kamp of the party, if you all watch Desperate Housewives. I haven’t had the chance to watch it so I am hoping it is a compliment in terms of fashion. I hear she can be a little obsessive-compulsive and I hope no one sees my that way :)

Wishing everyone a splendid weekend!

Kisses,

Teodora

Weekend Outfit

This past weekend we celebrated Nadia’s birthday. For the occasion, I wore this beautiful “embellished t-shirt dress”, although  I refuse to use the word t-shirt. It somehow makes it harder to justify spending money on anything that includes t-shirt in the name. With that said, I love it because it is the perfect day to evening dress. Also, I can already picture it with some color tights for the cooler weather. My hubby loves it too – just look at his grinning face on the last pic. Right, honey?

Journey

“Success is a journey, not a destination – half the fun is getting there.” – Gita Bellin

I often wonder about the destination of my blog. Why am I doing it, where I am going with it? All I know right now is that I enjoy doing it and that is all I need to get motivation. Have you ever done something that had no direction but ended up becoming one of the most purposeful things in your life?
