Embracing Greek heritage: Zeus+Δione/3rd outfit

I always believed that life begins over again with the summer. It's the time when you are not required to be who everyone thinks you are, feeling quiet and grateful with no eyes on you and no past. Summer opens the door and lets you out. 

Wearing my Zeus+Δione 'Athena' kaftan, lost in a beautiful Greek beach gazing at a sunset smeared with too much color feeling full and happy, I decided to upload my favorite post in the heart of the summer! 

Every photo reveals a different emotion, captured in a scenery and at the particular time of the day that the tired brightest star goes to bed… That time that the rest of the human creatures can admire its glow and its majesty, and by stealing some of it's power it's their time to start dreaming!

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or bring storms, but to add colors to my sunset sky."

Enjoy a perfect summer full of beautiful sunsets unfolding in front of your hearts and your eyes!!!

Embracing Greek heritage: Zeus+Δione/2nd outfit

Wandering with my beloved friends around our secret place in Vouliagmeni area in my handweaved Zeus+Δione 'Phryne' kaftan, I suddenly felt an inner strength, like a tolerant woman who is not afraid to fall and stand up again. I felt like an ancient Greek goddess on the rocks by the deep blue sea, shaking myself from the dusts of the past and being ready to rise with passion, and fight with faith for my present and my future. 

It is incredible how a piece of clothing can transform your mood and your personality, create a story around you and crown you your fairytale's heroine. 

“Ruin, eldest daughter of Zeus, she blinds us all, that fatal madness—she with those delicate feet of hers, never touching the earth, gliding over the heads of men to trap us all. She entangles one man, now another.” 

― Homer, The Iliad

Here in Greece when we talk about summer , we talk about endless blue beaches, frozen coctails, beautiful islands, maxi dresses, friendship bracelets, denim cut-offs and salty hair. This post is dedicated to my favourite summer sandals which will walk me to endless summer parties, dreamy beaches and little island paths! 
They are the perfect partner to casual denim and bold print dresses, they also transition to eveningwear when paired with an embellished maxi. Although flat,some sandals can still be figure friendly, elongate legs , and let you move and dance free as a bird! 

I love summer on my feet!!!
