Let' talk fashion

So,I haven't been around for a while (well,who cares?) but now I'm bored and therefore I am starting another fashion article.My previous fashion article was a bit rude but also honest so no,I am not apologising...What makes me the right person to write about fashion?Well,I freaking love it,I know how to make clothes and I have the feeling (don't question the feeling!).


The truth is that fashion is a pricy hobbie and today's economy doesn't allow all of us to enjoy it to it's fullest.Plus,even if we can afford some extra expenses,most of us would rather buy a gadget than spend 

large amounts of money on fabric.However,there are some things that a lady who claims to care for fashion should possess.What are these?



1)A pair of well-fitting black trousers

Choose whichever you want,the one that fits you perfectly.Whether they are skinny jeans or leather trousers they are fine as long as they are black.Black will always be the new black,there isn't a more elegant and neutral colour (or lack of colour to be precise) than it.It matches not only every colour but every style as well!Total?Classic?Rock?Eccentric?Androgynous?These are the trousers for you.






2)The little black dress
Is there a sexier type of dress than a little black one?It's a fact!A dress like that makes almost every body type look good.Also it can be combined with a variety of accessories of many colours,sizes and styles.Finally,don't forget that even if you choose not to wear high-heeled shoes,you will certainly look hot.
Be careful though,your black dress can easily turn from sexy to cheap-slutty if not worn properly ...The tip is to seek for harmony in your looks without being afraid to try something new or extravagant.Try to combine some of your more economical pieces with the expensive ones you've got if you can't afford a total designer look.




3)Summer wedges
Women adore heels but wearing them on a daily basis is difficult,especially if you consider the badly constructed pavements which are a danger for any woman on high-heels.Well,this problem is solved by putting cute shoes on platforms!And because no other kind of shoe looks better on a platform than summer sandals,a pair of wedge sandals is a must for stylish summer looks.Just look at them...aren't they cute?








4)White or nude shoes and handbags
Have you convinced your self that you only wear dark colours and therefore have only dark couloured shoes and bags?What if during a fashion trip you happen to find a gorgeous white dress or a bright coloured skirt and fall in love with it?Fashion experts do always suggest to combine different colours but some of the brightest shades simply cannot be worn with black shoes.Pick white if you want to make a difference or nude for an absolutely chic look.












5)A gorgeous coat
We can't spend hours on thinking how to dress to impress every single day,this is why we need an impressive coat to do the job.Every self respecting beautiful coat must have a colour fit for royalty (including the classic black) and dramatic eye catching details.If you are not a drama queen prefer something waisty or with fancy buttons,just to be playful...Attention!Do not consider buying something with metalic texture or geometric motives unless you can afford to replace it the next year,a good coat is expensive and if you want to make a really good investment out of it pick an eccentric but also classic piece.








7)Oversized necklace
It doesn't need to be precious as long as it's interesting!This oversized piece of jewellery can make the simpliest of tops look unique.Definite must-have...!








8)Super cool skirt
Stupid title,I know,but everyone needs a super cool skirt to wear with almost every top.Forget about the boring pencil black ones and find a skirt that says "Hello,I'm right here".Buy a skirt that is glorious,either because of its colour or because of its design and have fun with it.
(They are not all 2013 but I still love them for this year)





9)Fun nail polish
Girls,do not ignore the nails.As small and unimportant as they seem,when polished they can really improve your entire look.See what is in fashion or find your very own signal colours (some women prefere a specific range of colours and shades).The truth is that we don't always need to have our nails polished but sometimes we want to look perfect this helps.I am not going to show you bottles of nail polish but I am going to tell you that the styles for winter 2014 are the earthy metalics (bronze,silver,gold),the absolut matte in the dark winter colours (red,purple,blue,black) and !pink!,the natural look (mostly milky white,gray or nude).


10)The red lipstick
No woman should be afraid of red lipstick as it makes all of us look pretty as hell.The fear of wearing it is quite common but you'd better get over it because I honestly don't thing that you'll manage to find a better colour for your lips.Wear it at home,wear it any time until you get used to it!The right shade and texture for you might be more than one,if you don't want them all just get the one that suits your character.Until recently,I believed that the right shade of red lipstick depends on our skin and hair colour,but it turns out I was wrong.Even though my complexion is not very fair and therefore I had ruled out coral red,I found out that every red lipstick looks good on me.I guess it has to do with the shape of one's lips and the bone structure of your face.I repeat:BONE STRACTURE!There are many people who believe that those with thin lips shouldn't wear dark lipstick but this is a lie since if you have a slightly more intense cheeckbones,dark lipstick will look great on your thin lips.


That't it from me...sorry for my texts being so simply written and possibly full of mistakes which I try to correct whenever I notice them,but using my mother language (greek) is not a wise option considering the things I enjoy writting about (clue:most greek people couldn't care less)

Fashion Gods and Fashion Loosers

Me,My Self and I have spent hours of watching Project Runway lately as I usually have nothing else to do during the summer.Watching the show made me realise that the new generation lucks of really good designers,or at least America's new generation does (haven't watched the australian version yet).Why am I saying this?Most of the contestants have a good knowledge of how to sew perfectly and fit the clothes obviously,but what they can't really do is make outfits that are runway material.The problem seems to be different every time:the outfit doesn't have the right volume,the dress is way too boring,not enough drama on the runway,the colours are wrong,the presentation sucks,etc...The thing is that in order to become a great fashion designer or a stylist,you need that something,the little feeling that tells you what's right and what's wrong,when to continue and when to stop.The main differences in fashion that a designer should recognise in my opinion are the following:
Interesting colours and tacky colours
This always depends on the fabric and the tone.For a exemple take a look at this outfit made by Christian V. Siriano .
This is a pretty outfit and certainly runway material,but imagine what would have happened if the skirt was made of another far more shiny fabric or if the top was also shiny and full of ruffles...In this case,the right selection of a texture that matches the colours gave something more than a satisfying result.
Now,just look at this.
This is a dress made by someone who thinks he/she is a fashion designer.To those who will say "Cute dress" I reply "NO,this is all wrong!".The choice of desingn,tones and texture makes the dress look cheap and tacky.So think before you match!
Artistic and costume-like
There is a big difference between impressive clothes and halloween costumes.Though these differences are not easy to tell since they can be only seen on actual creations,I have to say that the main problems here are usually the execution of the outfit and the the concept used.If are inspired by elizabethan clothing and you make an elizabethan gown,you simply have failed.If you create a slutty dress with a few elizabethan ruffles, then you are also wrong.A designer is ought to know what to keep and what to remove.             


 

This is an elizabethan inspired gown by Alexander McQueen.
This is a beautifully crafted elizabethan costume.
And this is a mistake (sorry FoxGlove but you did upload the photo on the internet).
Haute Couture and prom gowns
Sometimes,amateur fashion designers seem to be confused around this topic.A prom gown or a bride's maid dress is oftenly called an haute couture creation but the truth is that it takes much more for a dress to be characterised as such,rather than a few hand-stitched parts.An houte couture dress must be elegant but not boring,otherwise not only it not suitable to be presented on the runway but also it does't say anything about the person wearing it.Texture and pattern selection is important here,too.A design can be very interesting but the choice of a cheap-looking colour or an unsuitable material can really ruin it.The same happens with good materials and not-well-thought designs.When it comes to evening gowns the strategy of "the simplier,the better" is the best to follow,unless the designer is 100% confident about making huge impressive ruffles that could work with the specific fabric and the rest of the design without looking prom-ish.
See?

This is a pretty dress by Zuhair Murad.The dress is full of ruffles but it's working perfectly with this fabric.The same dress would not be so good if it was made with polyester.Zuhair Murad is normaly a gown maker,yet most of his creations are very elegant and artistic,especially for wearable evening gowns.Therefore,they work when represented on the runway.

Many also suggest  the "go for the draping" strategy which usually gives impressive results.In my opinion though,try to avoid drapind and ruffles conbined very oftenly because we've seen it before and it gets boring.

Elegant draped gowns by Elie Saab.

And last but not least,there is group of people (I am so one of them) who would say "make it interesting by using intense prints".The truth is that not everyone wants to look like cinderella in pink...

Printed gown by Dior.

In general please do us a favour and avoid this:

 And remember that a good dress lies on the details.

The matching accessories and the right ones.
There isn't much to say here,simply stop being predictable.Try what's best for each season and mix them all together,create something unique but with harmony by mixing defferent colours,types of texture and volumes.Spend more time on designing accessories and make them eye-catching.An unexpected detail on a black shoe is really the best!A matchy-match-match look is not what a designer should always be looking for,unless we are talking about one colour total looks which never loose their value as eccentric yet elegant choices.
See,gorgeous!

That's it.Hope you liked it...DoctorWhat

Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper;An autistic person or another one of tv's psychopaths?

Greeting from My Self!Today as you you can see I will talk about one of my favourite characters on television,The Big Bang Theory's Dr. Sheldon Cooper (It's funny how I almost write Sherlock every time).
Now,for those who will ask...no,this show is not the sun and the moon for me but I am bored and Sheldon is a really fun character to discuss.

When I first started watching the show I was almost certain that Sheldon had autism,but the producers wouldn't confirm it.What changed my mind a bit was me getting pretty close with an actual autistic person,a friend and neigbor who knows he is being mentioned right now.Mainly,the symptoms of autism are stereotypy,compulsive behavior,sameness,ritualistic behavior,restricted behavior and self injury while sometimes pathological symptoms such as seizures, motor abnormalities, anxiety, sleep cycle disturbances, gastrointestinal problems, immune dysfunction and sensory disturbances also appear.From this short list of symptoms I can recognise many on my friend but on Sheldon I can see only three behavior problems (the compulsive behavior,the sameness and ritualistic behavior) and none pathological,a fact which leads me to the question;Are these three enough to diagnose autism?For this question my own personal opinion hardly matters since I am no doctor but I simply think not,just because like in science the more evidence,the better conlusion.


But if Sheldon is not autistic then what is wrong with him (for he is not normal for sure)?I am starting to believe that Dr. Cooper is a psychopath after all.The problem with psychopaths is that many people imagine them holding kitchen knives and terrorising cities buy the truth is that a psychopath is a person with a psychiatric disorder or more often with a number of them.Personality Disorders belong are considered to be psychiatric disorders and Sheldon seems to have more than one.Let's start with OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) witch is characterised by orderliness,perfectionism,inflexibility and need of control.The next to follow is PPD (Paranoid Personality Disorder) known for having a hard time trusting others,just like Sheldon can't trust even his own flatmate when their flat is robbed.We also have the wierd BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) where the person experiences short spurts of moodiness,has a hard time calming down once upset,also has a polarized veiw of the world and sometimes angry outbursts follow.The last one and my personal favourite is the NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) which provides the person with the idea that he deserves a special treatment,with plenty of arrogance and haughtiness but also an extremely low self-esteem deep down inside (As I choose to express it,there is nothing you love and hate more in the entire world than your self.).


Psychopaths might have a bad ending indeed as they do sometimes get bored and therefore become unpredictabe but unless the producers decide to start shooting Criminal Minds or the better for me Hannibal (for which a report is coming soon) on the set of The Big Bang Theory,I don't think we should worry about Sheldon (and Sherlock is almost written again).


What do you think about Dr. Cooper?

The spectacular Mr. Khan.

Ok,from where do I even start?Did you happen to watch the latest Star Trek film by J. J. Abraams?Well,I did and my comments are:BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH!!!For many Star Trek fans these two re-makes were a pleasant surprise and for others they felt absolutely essential in order for the old spirit of  TOS to be re-newed and re-loved by the new generation (it was kind of dead in Star Trek Generations).But Mr. Abraams offered to us something more than new fancy spaceships and great Kirk/Spock scenes,he gave us Benedict wearing leather tights in Star Trek Into Darkness and we are the most certainly thankful about it ;)

Personally,I have been a fan of both the Original Series and Abraams' first film so I did not decide to go to the cinema just for Cumberbatch.-You see,my good companion,The Big Bang Theory,taught many things about tv shows,since I started watching it,and consequently I soon became a Star Trek and Doctor Who enthusiast.-Anyway,as it almost always happens with the hottie-containing films,I forgot all about my original pure motives after a few minutes of watching.How could I not though?His hair Ebony black as Anne Rice would discribe,his cheekbones more visible and desirable than ever,his eyes alien-like and beautifully creepy and his voice..breathtaking.There is also the famous Cumberbutt but what could I ever say about it that would be enough?Plus,I am trying to be decent so let's just skip another butt worshipping paragraph or line on this blog and enjoy these images.

Greek Teen Girls In Stardoll Make Me Feel Sad

Well,greetings again from Doctor What,an 18 year old female who started a blog to express her opinion in public.Today I'll complain mostly about the majority of young Greek (like myself) users of Stardoll.A few days ago I myself recommended a site full of fun stuff to do for the true fashion lovers.What I hadn't realised though is that at least the Greek teen users not only are not interested in playing with fashion but they are way too flirticious for their age (yes,I am not so much older but I don't think I ever behaved this way) and many times extremely rude aswell.This I discovered during my visit in several chatrooms both Greek and Brittish (but the Brittish were kind).Now,if that was trolling,I would most certainly know since I have been a bad girl on purpose at sites in the past,but it's not.How do I know that they are not interested in fashion?It is obvious when a pair of shorts,a tiny top and a pair of high-heels,all these in simply boring patterns,are considered to be fashion by some.
Anyway,the point of this post is that this situation makes me realise how false is the image of a true female in the girls' heads.Where is the fight,the effort of women to prove that we are not all about boys and cute tops?That we also have great ambitions and dreams of becoming great scientist,lawyers,leaders facts which are questioned by many men even in our modern society?Where is the effort of the fashion lover to show the world that fashion is not just handbags and attidude,it is art?Yes,sites like stardoll might just be for fan but remember that toys like plastic brooms and fake babies were also meant for fan but in the end they were the ones that convinced girls for years during the last century that their sole purpose was to find a good huband,have children and do the housecleaning.Will you let this continue or will you remind these girls at last of the hard fight once Suffragettes gave,a story unkown by many.
