The March Lollikpop Party

Hello hello! I don't post as often as I'd like but I'm rarely in front of the pc doing nothing these days. Hectic Masters Course. But what can I say? I love it! ^^

Anyway, this past Saturday was the monthly Lollikpop party. I'm in the organising group that hosts it. We had a lot of fun this time despite the technical problems that arose. Kpop's popularity is rising slowly but steadily and we're happy to even have the chance to hold parties like that.

So, I dressed up for the occasion, naturally.
My theme for the night was skulls. I wore the pink Skull blouse that I bought from Bershka the last time I went out with my friend.

I don't even need to tell anything about Bershka. They're the famous Spanish brand that is pretty much sold all around the world. I shop there often especially for my club clothes cause they are badass and affordable enough for me to buy constantly new stuff for my outings.

The point here is the earrings. I got them dirt cheap in the sales from Zic Zac, one of my favorite greek clothing stores. They have a great collection and sometimes they have their clothes made in Korea! A lot of their pieces are cute and feminine and that has led me to dubbing them, the Greek Liz Lisa (I should make a post about how amazing Liz Lisa is sometime)... Their site in English is HERE.


Skull bracelet also from Zic Zac. They are so cute!! *_* And to think when I was a kid I was teriffied by skulls but now I see them as a fashion accessory. OTL XD



Full outfit shot. High-heeled boots are from Vardas. (English Site: HERE) It's another Greek brand. I got those in an outing in the Brand new McArthur Glenn shopping center in Spata earlier this year. They are quite comfy for a few hours but, like many high-heeled shoes, they tire the feet out. Still, I can't imagine going to a club without heels. :P

Aaaand on to the party:


DJ console!


Meet the Lollikpop team members: Angeliki (We went to Korea together. Great trip and we hope to repeat it someday)



And Christos aka VJ Lamprokratis: He's the experienced one in the DJ-ing, journalism areas. We are like, teh noobs but we are doing our best. :D



I have this "ritual" of taking a photo of me and Angeliki at every party. Like a good luck charm hehe! ^^ :3



The super adorable bunny hair accesory that Angeliki bought in Korea. At one point we thought she lost it in the apartment in Seoul but we found it eventually. :P

And some photos of the club atmosphere:







And a bonus pic of Angeliki looking badass hell yeah.

Oh yes we also do dance covers of popular Kpop songs at the party. This time the highlight has to be the B.A.P.-Warrior dance cover:



As you can see, we are quite enthousiastic! ^^ I was the one filming this. Unfortunately the club lighting is crappy so these videos we shoot are never clear enough. :/

Well, w/e we had our fun. Next party is the first Saturday of April. Be there peeps! (For more info on the place and our activities visit: www.lollikpop.gr)

I am officially a master of the Japanese language! Har har!!!

Hey new post/old news!!! But neverthelesss new post finally! I didn't really know what title to put in so I'm gonna go with that... Speaking of Gonna Go...



I am so addicted to this song omg! OTL Gonna go gonna gonna go! I kept singing it in class today. Rainbow is a korean girl group and this is their 1st original japanese single! I like them a lot and I totally love their leader, Jaekyung (The lady with the red dress; OMG she is so beautiful!!! ;-;)

Anyway, this past Friday I went to the class in the morning and then I passed from the Greek-Japanese association to meet my teacher and get the N1 degree in my hands. I met with my mom and sis on the way. Sis came back from England to see us and participate in the carnival with her friends so we took the opportunity to go out, visit the shops and have a meal at TGI Friday's (I'm a regular there).

Naturally I dressed up but I hated every selca I took so no photos of the outfit. ><

So, when we reached the Association my teacher, Ms. Suzuki was so happy to see me that she burst out in tears. I am considered to be one of her most precious student and I love her very much. She's like a 2nd mom to me. We took a couple of photos as well.



Le me: Proud Owner of the Proficiency Degree in the Japanese Language. I can now teach it officially!


With Ms. Suzuki! ^^ I plan to visit the Association from time to time even now that I'm over with my japanese studies.



And then we walked around Kolonaki (the luxurious neighbourhood in downtown Athens) Sis saw this giant wooden marionette (Pinocchio) and pretended to be conversing with it. She's hilarious!


After the meal in Friday's. 2 sisters posing together. My blouse is from Zara. ^^



Mom and sis. She likes to pose all smily and stuff. Hahaha! ^^



And the random pic of the day. A fluffy cat near Syntagma. We saw her/him and my sister yelled "TAKE A PHOTO OF IT!" and I whipped my cam to take a photo. At the same time a squadron of tsoliades (greeks soldiers in traditional garbs) were passing by. My mom was "TAKE A PHOTO OF THEM". I couldn't hear my mom so I took the pic of the cat. My mom assumed I was embarrased to take a photo of the soldiers so she started laughing but I was confused and asked "Why? Wasn't I supposed to take a pic of the cat?". Ok I admit I'm slow when it comes to noticing guys etc. XD

Anyway, this weekend I was too absorbed playing video games. Namely, my sis got my Final Fantasy XIII-2 and me, being a HUGE FF nerd since 1997... well got lost in playing it. I think I want to play again... Right now...



I leave you with the FF XIII-2 theme song, New World by the Philippino diva Charice Pempengco! This tiny girl has an amazing voice! The original song is named Yakusoku no Basho and is sung in Japanese by Fukui Mai (she's great imo, look her up).

Rock feeling and on seeing friends after a long time

Yesterday I had a long day. I had classes during the noon and the buses weren't running at that time (don't ask, strikes here are like snow in the mountains during winter; they happen regularly and hinder people all the time). So, I walked to the metro station and I walked all the way to my school (around 30 minutes). The class was very interesting so it was worth it. History and the teachings of economic crises. (<3) People may find it boring but for me it combines two of my most favorite subjects: History and Economics...
Ah! I digress! I digress! Anyway, after classes were over me and my friends from the course walked a good 40 minutes to downtown Athens (Syntagma Square). While we were walking we also saw all the buildings that got burnt down during the riots last week. SMH at all the grunts who did it. Karma is a bitch and I hope it punishes you for vandalizing the property of other people. (and I digress again...)
After we reached Syntagma I chilled at Costa Coffee waiting for my good friend, Xenia to arrive. I hadn't seen her in ages and we made plans to meet and explore the shops. Yes, I know I should stop doing that already but as long as there's going to be sales I am going to buy stuff! EOS! Another 1 and a half hours walking around... I am amazed I din't drop dead from exhaustion!
Xenia and I pondered on how long it has been since we actually saw each other. Was it around October when we last met? I don't remember clearly but it was definately before December. You know the feelings you get when you meet with a friend that you have missed? It doubles the fun cause, face it, you never know when you'll meet again. Especially if it's a like-minded friend.
So, we had our fun and then parted ways. I came home late and not in the mood to update so I'm doing it now! ^^

I dressed up yesterday. Rock feeling. I have a lot of clothes of the casual rock style and I tend to wear them often. But fun thing is I don't listen to rock that much. I like classic rock and pop-rock but I hate metal. I am an rnb, pop and hip-hop chick. So you see me dressed in black, chains, chockers etc with all-black make-up but my mp3 plays songs like this one:



Or this one:



Walking paradox. But I can't help if I like the skulls and crosses etc. >< 1st song is from a Japanese duo that sings sweet songs (Tegomasu) and the 2nd from a korean duo that does hip-hop Supreme Team. FACT: I love male duos in almost every kind of music!

Here's yesterday's outfit btw:

Close ups



Tried the Dior white pencil. Not too visible I suppose. :P

Full shot:


I effin' love this picture cause the pose came out amazing and model-like. Now if only I didn't have that wide torso that makes me look fat and without a waist when I wear clothes... -.- I have a waist I swear.

I think the skirt-blouse combination came out great though! I don't remember tha name of the store I bought the blouse from (only that it was expensive) but the skirt is from Terranova. I have it in pink as well.


The back of the blouse is even more unique. XD

And some pics from the stores. I would have taken more if they allowed photographing inside the stores, if it was bright outside (which it wasn't as it already got dark when we started to walk around the shops) and if I bothered to try sth on a trying room.
So just 3 photos:


Found a cute dress in Zara which we wanted to show to one of our friends, Margarita. This is for you. Xenia asked me to censor her face. WAT? YOU DON'T LIKE MY MOUSE-DRAWN HEART? HDU IT'S PERFECT!!!11!



Another cute dress from Zara. Mind you we had to take photos like thieves cause they're not allowed ahaha! ^^' This kind of dress is adorable and very spring-like but I wonder how it' d look on me. I think girls with smaller boobs can rock this one better. Better than me anyway.



The Swarovski front window! THE BIG HEART PENDANT! WANT! *_* And afterwards it got dark, so no more photos... -.-


BUT OF COURSE... I couldn't NOT buy anything and with the upcoming Lollikpop party I need some new clothes for clubbing. I swear my clubbing wardrobe has expanded threefold since last year!!


Pink Skull tee from Bershka. It glitters as well but the camera couldn't capture it. I'll wear it with my black shorts. And high heel boots.




Also from Bershka, this cape is a steal! 15 euros on sale! :3 Maybe I'll wear it at the party as well and if I get hot I'll take it off. It reminds me of Gil RaIm's capes in Secret Garden (aka my no1 favorite tv series ever! Hint: It's korean :P)


Now, I don't know what my next update will be and when but I am glad I didn't get bored already. I have this nasty history of leaving blogs/journals etc with just a couple of entries. Hopefully this one is different! Ciao! ;P

One more outfit and new items! And some kpop spamming...

Heya~ Wassuuuuuuuup? /fail I have some days befor classes start again and I am in the mood to laze around at home and go out with friends. Those two are usually mutually exclusive so... I'm weird aren't I?

Anyway, yesterday I went out with friends for coffee and a strategic meeting. See, said friends and I are actually the core members of a group organising regular Asian music Events in Athens. Once a month we have our own party at a club and we generally promote the Asian Pop Wave spearheaded by kpop (korean pop) that is getting really popular in Europe and America. And we are pretty awesome. We even interviewed exclusively the Wonder Girls when they came to Athens to perform for the Special Olympics. Our equally awesome site is: http://www.lollikpop.gr/

Som yes, yesterday was one of the Lollikpop team's strategic meetings. I won't talk what we talked about. Instead, I dressed up so here's yesterday's outfit and close up photos:






Here I try to get a model's pose and I fail miserably. Posted just for the lulz.

Quick outfit breakdown:
Jacket: BSB
Long T-shirt: Bershka
Jeans: Tally Weijl
Hat: My sister's (lol0
Boots: Tsakiris Mallas
Acessories: Changmin Style Silver Cross bought from YesAsia aeons ago and Gothic Cross from Alchemy Gothic

Quite simple but stylish, no? Close ups:









Just the usual camwhoring! :P

And today I went out shopping again. This time I wanted to get some makeup and skin products. I have oily skin that is a pain in the ass to keep clean and without acne. I have to constantly use a lot of products but clear skin is worth every effort in my opinion.

So... I went to Hondos Center, a big greek department store that specializes in make-up and got some stuff...


Shiseido haul. Imo it's one of the best makeup and skincare brands in the world and not because it's japanese. The high quality of its products has never disappointed me. I got a black eye pencil (my current MAC one is nearly used up), oil control blotting paper for my disgustingly oily skin, the daycare emulsion for skin moisturizing and eye cream (that was a gift because Shiseido is celebrating its 140 years!).


I also got a white eye pencil from Dior. I want to experiment with my make up more so I can't use just black and brown eyepencil. This one has it's own scraper! How cute! XD




And on my way back I stopped by the Tsakiris Mallas store that was having its clearance and bought these boots! I have been eyeing them since last week. The other ones I wanted to buy didn't fit me well (they were awful worn actually haha; I guess I have a good reason I stay clear from wedges). Now I realise this is actually the 3rd pair of boots I buy this winter. It's true I am a boots addict and I also have a big shoes collection. I am thinking of photographing them and listing them so that I know what I have. Ummmm, yeah I should do that.


Ok! Fashion over! Let's listen to some music!
Today I bring you my absolute favorite group, U-KISS. It's a 7 member korean boyband that was formed in 2008 and recently has debuted in Japan as well. Since I am fluent in Japanese I love the idea of my favorite korean groups singing in a language I can understand. Though, I am studying korean as well so soon I think korean won't be a problem for me too. Enjoy their amazing-ness! :P
