I See Greece: June 2010 Trends

I just read a story by AmelieFrenchie, about the latest trends in France, and thought I would like to thank her for popping the question 'What's en vogue in your homeland? . Here's an idea of what is currently trending in Greece:

Yacht Style

You know the kind... Also called 'nautical', a word which comes from Greek and means 'of the ship'. Not always meant literally, but very much alluding to the relaxed lifestyle specially suited for the summer.

Recycling Nautical

Fashion recycles. Everyone knows that. And so did I, to make this nautical necklace.






The thing is though, I didn't make it because it would be fashionable. I made it because I was inspired by the vintage anchor buttons I found at a closing store sale. Only two in the entire store! I kept thinking about what I could make with them for several months, before the idea about the design just occurred to me the other day.






This is the result, one of the must-have pieces in your wardrobe that will see you through all this nautical trend -but above all, a piece that incorporates original vintage nautical elements that were made before you were even born...






And if you love nautical anyway, like I do, you are going to absolutely not want to take this necklace off! So, visit my shop now! Remember this piece is one of a kind -once it's gone, it's gone forever!
