It all happened last week, and the decision was taken in a day.
{My jacket is Vintage and it was bough in New York from La Vie – see it here too}
I was at home working away on my laptop and an Instagram message from an unknown sender came through.
The message was reading like this:
“We like your style and we would be interested in working with you for our TV show, let’s have a call”
My thoughts:
“This must be a scam or a joke, these things don’t happen to ordinary people like me and you, someone is playing with me.”
So I left the phone on the side and I carried on working.
A few minutes later I looked back at the message and I started researching on the authenticity of the sender.
To my surprise, it was authentic and genuine. I replied back and an hour later I was on the phone with the producer discussing how soon I could be in Athens, Greece to take part in their new show called Fashion Blogger of the year.
Fast forward a week later I see myself boarding a plane with three big suitcases carrying most of my belongings and flying to reach an amazing opportunity that came my way.
I was going to be on live TV doing what I love the most!
Styling, talking about fashion and giving my advice to the audience I love the most, women.

This morning was my debut on Greek TV!
Watch the video below:
After 1.30-hour drive on the busy streets of Athens, I reached the studio and entered the world of live TV and Epsilon Channel.
I saw people running around and I was greeted by the producers who showed me my dressing room and advised me to take my turn for hair and makeup.

The hours run by very quick and the time of my time to shine was approaching. My nerves were mixed with my excitement and I although I messed up my walk I managed to not fall off my heels.
Despite my pounding heart, I presented my look and the theme of the day was “How to dress a vintage piece to a modern look”.
I was so happy to receive positive feedback and I got the highest score for the day!
My few minutes of fame finished so quick and I was so nervous that I was not sure if what I was living was real or a dream.
My first day on TV ended on a high and by feeling very grateful for what the universe brought to me.
Tomorrow will be a new day and I will get to live this all over again! So wish me luck in this new and exciting experience of mine and I will promise not to let you down.
From my heart thank you for all your support and your kind messages!
