Ruby Reverie

Stained glass ruby dress is what I chose today as a canvas to play around with black and mikado yellow details. It has become a fashion shorthand to say to the world that burgundy is the hottest color this season but I'm happy to have predicted that last year when I bought this wool 60's line dress. I love how it's simple yet powerfully related to the allure of an intellectual playful uniform. To me it says: " I'm deep, I'm cool and I can be playful and all grown up" and that's all it takes to be chic and cosy.

The M.J. ballerinas are an object of pure desire. Your burgundy red cute dress and the clutch are a match made in heaven.

This is such a chic look Eleni!!! I love the colours,they are very striking and have a very luxe look about them. The shirt styled under the shift dress is such simple but very effective touch and only someone with a great sense of style would think of doing that and you certainly have that. I am completely in love with that bag of yours,perfect! :)

Take care,Daniella xox

Dude. I try to pull off this kind of look ALL the freaking time, and here you are, just casually standing in your garden, looking fresh and cool and totally un-self conscious. Way to go. Lemme break it down: blazer, awesome. Collared shirt, incredible. Gold necklace, totally great. Bag, awesome and amazing. And wonderful shoes.
