I Just Returned From Greece—Here Are the Fashion Trends I Sported Everywhere
If you're acquainted with me, you know I'm passionate about manifestation. Nearly two years ago, I penned an article titled "My 2025 Goal Is to Go to Greece." It took some time, but I'm thrilled to share that this dream has finally become a reality, and this trip prompted a complete reevaluation of my summer wardrobe. The outfits I usually don in New York City weren't making the cut. I was searching for stunning pieces that would seamlessly fit in with the whitewashed villages and sunsets at golden hour. Each outfit needed to be photo-worthy and adhere to a cohesive theme.
Mango organized an event called Slow Summer, where guests celebrated its pop-up in Hydra, showcasing the finest pieces from its summer collection, and the experience was enchanting. It's important to mention that I packed a few extra outfits for this journey, but my top favorites were all from Mango, with each item priced under $100. Below, I would like to share every outfit I wore along with some noteworthy details about the trip.
**Where to Stay**
I had the opportunity to stay at several remarkable hotels during my trip, but one truly stood out to me long after I checked out. From the moment I arrived at Cali Mykonos, I felt a genuine sense of relaxation. Located away from the bustling tourist areas, this hotel managed to achieve a perfect blend of understated luxury and effortless Greek charm. The service was exceptional, I felt completely safe, and every amenity was top-notch. I'm still receiving inquiries about the videos and photos I shared of their wellness center. If I could recommend just one hotel from my time in Greece, it would undoubtedly be this one.
**Where to Dine**
The Mango team spent extensive time researching the best dining options, and I also explored a bit on my own, so I have to share my discoveries. Upon reaching Hydra, we headed over to Xeri Elia for an outdoor seafood meal that has lingered in my memory for weeks. A coffee from Oven made me want to return repeatedly. (They have locations in both Athens and Mykonos.) I also found Roka Mykonos, a new addition to Fouquet's Mykonos, where I enjoyed a fantastic sushi dinner. I'll always remember Linou Soumpasis & Co for the incredible meal with a waterfront view.
**'80s Vibe**
For the work-related part of the trip, I aimed to make a bold impression with my final look, and I certainly did just that. If you ever feel your outfit is over-the-top, you may be on the right track—keep following that instinct.
**MANGO Floral Strapless Top**
**Classic Red Dress**
A perfect vacation dress strikes a balance between effortless and glamorous. This red dress was so amazing that I wore it on two occasions—once for a work dinner in Athens and again for a solo meal in Mykonos.
**MANGO Dress With Asymmetrical Neck and Metallic Detail**
**Crochet Set**
When I first came across this crochet set, it captivated my thoughts immediately. The color combination was ideal, though I didn’t have any specific occasion in my New York life to wear it. My takeaway is this: If you love something but don't have any plans for it, buy it anyway. The right occasion will present itself.
