With autumn in full swing, it’s hard not to think of a trusty leather jacket ideal for this cooler and rainy weather. I've searched high and low and have handpicked my favourite brown leather jackets in various styles. From this oversized yet slightly cropped cool moto jacket to very much on-trend washed-out effect options, I’m confident you’ll find the one that will keep you cosy this season and beyond.
Read MoreUnderstated yet oh-so-stylish, kitten heels are a must for any elegant wardrobe. These heels are ideal for when you’re seeking a little extra height without the drawbacks of excessively tall heels. I love styling them with a simple straight jean look as it guarantees an instant elevation of the fit, or wear it with a mini skirt and structured tweed blazer for a flirty-meets-old-money-aesthetic look. For extra deliciousness add knee-high tights to the look!
Read MoreIt’s no secret that sheer dresses have been all the rave recently, from celebrities flaunting designer looks on the red carpet (think Dua Lipa at the recent LA Barbie premier, or Zoë Kravitz at the 2022 Met Gala) to more casual approach seen on our Instagram feeds - the naked dress has seen a great comeback, and I’m here for it!
Read MoreWhen I found this fringed faux leather jacket I couldn’t resist adding it to my wardrobe. I love jackets that show a bit of character, and this number seemed like a perfect one to refresh my spring looks. I absolutely love the western note the fringe adds to the jacket. It comes in both cream and black.
Read More‘You are the last person out of the whole year I would think is dealing with this’ - said my Senior Tutor in a quirky tone a few years back while I was studying. A sentence that left me with a lot of mixed feelings. I was called in to her office to discuss a notable drop in my attendance. The reason behind my attendance drop was depression. I had no will to eat, no will to be awake, and quite frankly, no will to live. I actually wished I somehow disappeared from the face of the Earth. To be gone and forgotten, to be no more. So naturally, I found it extremely hard to show my face in classes. It almost seemed trivial.
Read MoreWhen you pick the right colour combination, it not only creates visual interest but also reflects a bit of your personality. While picking an outfit in a colour that best flatters your skin tone is important, it is equally important to combine colours in a way that creates a striking look.
We know it can be a struggle for you busy lot to fuel your imagination every time you want to get dressed up. So, we did some digging and brainstorming to come up with five fail-proof colour combinations to rock this season.
Read MoreI have a secret to tell - until very recently I did not have a regular skincare routine. One of the reason is that most of my life I was extremely lucky with my skin. Even in my teenage years, there was never an acne-prone phase. I would occasionally get a pimple, just one at a time, normally on top of the nose or in the middle of my forehead. Kinda annoying, but never enough to make me experiment with skincare products.
Read MoreRecently I wrote about renting clothes through my partnership with Reason to Rent (check out the blog post here). My fandom has continued into another month of great rental selection. Have a peek at what I rented and wore in February.
Read MoreIt’s that time of the year again. The sales season! Probably my favourite. There’s nothing like finding an item you love on a major discount, it almost feels like a big achievement (especially if the starting figure was way overpriced).
Read MoreSustainable fashion is reaching more interest than ever! It doesn’t come as a surprise as we are now, as a consumer, increasingly informed about the hefty cost of fast fashion and unsustainable practices on our planet. As a result, companies and brands are coming out with sustainable agendas, and there is a noticeable rise in new sustainable brands and sustainable approaches.
Read MoreRecently I partnered with JARLO, an occasionwear brand from London. JARLO’s story began 10 years ago, on a tiny stall on Portabello Road Market, in the heart of Notting Hill - not too far from where I live and where I’ve spent a few months working. Now they offer diverse collections of dresses for a range of special occasions: inspired by nostalgia and mashed with a contemporary finish.
Read MoreWith the lockdown situation in England getting looser each week, and summer just on the horizon, many of us might have already started planning our summer outings. G&T’s in the garden, summer birthday parties, or a holiday date night - all the occasions we have been craving for a while now! Such affairs deserve a special summer dress, at least in my opinion.
Read MoreYou might have noticed that there is something about blazers that keeps them on top of trend reports for a few seasons now. I’ve been personally absolutely loving every second of this extended blazer trend. This season we can witness such a wonderful selection of colourful blazers. Hottest pieces are coming in a variety of colours, pink and blue shades being specifically popular. Considering I’m a number one fan of anything blue, of course I wanted to get my hands on at least one piece of a nice, spring-blue blazer.
Read MoreHave you ever been in a situation where you lost your passport and you are planning a trip at the same time? Days off are booked, hopes are high yet your options are limited. Lucky for me, as European national I had a whole variety of destinations available based on my national ID. Greece or Spain sounded beautiful but as someone attached to beach holidays and as a wimp for cold water, as we are taking about mid-April in Europe, the idea of enjoying sunny beaches and not having a dip in the sea seemed heartbreaking. That is when Tim, the boyfriend of mine, pulled his magical thinking hat out and carefully selected Caribbean.
Read MoreWhat do you think of first when someone mentions Florida?
- Retirement homes? Of course! There’s plenty of them, most looking pretty swanky, if I may add.
- Alligators? So did I. Still haven’t had a pleasure of meeting one. We did, however, pass an alligator farm on our drive to St. Augustine, but that’s a story for another post.
- Dangerous sharks eating people in the ocean? Not sure if this is what people normally think of, but according to my mother, the know-it-all of world’s every catastrophe (and with the back up of National Geographic, local researchers and many public statistics) Florida happens to be a home of the shark attack capital of the world. While we did stay just 30 km away from this fatal place, New Smyrna Beach, I haven’t witnessed any shark attacks in the area.
Have you, however, thought about large colourful butterflies? As big as your hand?! Because Florida enjoys a whole army of those! What about armadillos or opossums? Yes, they do peacefully coexist one the same piece of land, of the same suburban neighbourhood. Together with lizards and Bambis. And by Bambis I mean beautiful, elegant deer. A whole bunch of deer families, actually. With loads of tiny, cute baby fawns cheerfully hopping in your back yard. Sounds too idealistic? Well, folks, what can I tell you. Add some funky tunes by the variety of birds to this image, add the quick wit of very skinny squirrels, add a “Howdy” from a friendly neighbour, and you got yourself a real Florida experience.
Read MoreToday’s outfit is for those who don’t want to go sparkly or full festive! This one is a bit more of a classy and delicate choice. Even though it can be worn for casual occasions, this dress is so gorgeous that it definitely deserves a spot on this challenge!
Read MoreToday we go back to a red dress, or as they described it on the website- Merlot colour. This time it’s quite a different style than the one from Day 7. Instead of being a body hugger, this one is anything but a body hugging piece. Oh, and it’s actually not a dress but a proper dressy play suit! It has a very flowy quality which is a definite winner when it comes to moving around the space and owning that dance floor.
