PARIS!

Paris, here I come! Tomorrow that is,  but I have decided to celebrate it with a flashback from last years run! Seriously  can't wait. Although I am wandering how many Kenzo sweaters will I be seeing and the same goes for Balenciaga gold rings.

Photos from Anne Valerie Hash SS13, and random Paris stuff taken by me.

C ya L there!

Uni Magazine Project

Today was a good day for several reasons with the main one being that we finished our magazine at uni and it is ready to be sent off for printing tomorrow! I will hopefully be able to show you the magazine in full when I've got the full PDF file later this week (if I can work out how to show PDF's online) but for now, here are some screen shots of the work I contributed to the magazine; the editor's letter, street style article and spreads and a fashion shoot. If you can envisage them all as double page spreads that might help the layout make more sense :)

TRANSITIONAL

SO, more pics from London. Although it's still chilly, you can feel the warmth of the sun gently announcing arrival of spring.It was one of those days when you still need a good sweater, but one can go for the lighter choice of outerwear. Like- an iconic lack leather jacket.  I have been looking forward to wearing this combo as asymmetrical skirts are a wardrobe favorite and always look great with something oversized. I bought this Celine skirt on Bluefly ages ago, but didn't have quite the chance to wear it, so I am thrilled to be able to sport it here and there. 

Anyways, I am in the process of packing for PFW...
Good luck to me I say, as I have prepared for Spring- and not the icey temps forecasted...

P.S What do you think of the new blog layout courtesy of wonderful Sara and Marie from We Don't Do Print??

I am wearing Hope sweater, Celine skirt, Thakoon boots, vintage jacket and The Manual&Co purse.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT-CAVALLI

Ok, not the simple no-fuss look I am a firm follower off, but the pure hotness of Roberto Cavalli's AW13 is something I can't seem to take off my mind lately. The craftsmanship is simply amazing and I keep seeing myself in this- and this dress, or that sweater with that skirt , an on and on in that manner...Also most of the pieces are quite easy to dress up or down as you please...

CINCHED SUNDAY MORNING

Hi, ho my dear readers! Beautiful wintery Sunday overhere. I have bee resting lately and watching the live streams as much as possible or browsing Style.com for the instant updates. SEriously Milano has really stepped up a notch this season, and although Cavalli and Pucci can be way too blingy for my part, I ended up drooling over so many garments and looks.
Speaking of drooling: I have been obsessed with Alexander Wang's holographic sweater in grey for aw13 but the word pricey doesn't even describe it...So, now I am wandering , am I crazy enough to actually start saving for it. I mean 3k isn't a small amount in anybody's book....??
Anyway, back to today: my easy Sunday look.The infamous Marant Etoile coat cinched in the waist- as seen literary everywhere. I for my part love cinched in coats, especially if there are  slightly oversized,as  it really ads a special charm to it. As I am all about Dries ss13 in my spare time, underneath the coat is a good old checked shirt, that sometimes reminds me of my early years on university... Paired with cropped jeans and patent heels, and woop off shopping for a dinner later on with my bro and his bf (best friend that is!)Also I have finally found accessorize that I am not taking off (except when I work) and the both bracelets  come from Cooee luxury collection, which I am mad about to be frank.

Yes , and  a humblebrag in the 'The Sartorialist' direction where you can find my outfit from Day 2  in London. 

I am wearing Isabel Marant Etoile coat, vintage shirt, Diesel jeans, Valentino bag, Chanel sunnies, Cooee braclets and Georg Jensen watch, the heels are naturalment Saint Laurent

THE FRENCH TAKE

The perfect take on a Saturday night outfit. I think it embodies the french chic,cheeky and unexpected in such a good way. And Anja looks mildly incredible!

LONDON FASHION WEEK: MISSGUIDED

I have been debating since this video came out a couple of days ago whether to share it or not purely because I was so nervous when the lovely Sara from Missguided asked to interview me at LFW as I hate people watching me speak (I know a bit mental but it's a pet paranoia problem) but was on the other hand soooo flattered they wanted to interview me so said yes anyway. I seriously cringe at how awkward and stuttery I am during the video but it's such a cool little video and I am so chuffed that I am in it next to all the amazing bloggers so I thought I would try and conquer my fear and share it anyway haha! 

TGIF!

Crazy, crazy  week! Friday, finally. I will be sporting my SL pumps during the weekend, and when at home catching up with VOGUE,. Oh , yeah and the picture of my current favorite: white roses.

Have a great weekend dear readers!

THE SHOE ISSUE

OK, I am not a gal that likes fussy and overdo style.A shirt, jeans/skirt and I am ready, however I am a gal that loves authentic shoes. The kind that is crazy, eyecatching, yet there has to be something timeless about it. I really can't put my finger on what is it that evokes that feeling of love which after a while becomes an obsession for a certain shoepair, but I have to be able to imagine them wearing in two-three-ten years time (or you are just throwing away money, which is cool if you have to flaunt it, but for a working girl, well...)
These are my spring picks and to be honest not only I want them all, I am hoping to obtain them all, or at least some of them...Thinking of starting with Altuzarra pair and working clockwise...

MY FAVORITE JACKET

Looove my pink leather jacket!Not only that I actually love the fact that is made of crafty, robust leather as it is real motorcycle jacket, not the fashiony version of it. However if you are thinking about pastel leather jackets you can see the feature HERE (they didn't cut my head off...that was my own doing...)

LFW DAY FIVE: OUTFIT

Jacket & Tie- Vintage, Shirt- Vintage, Trousers- Topshop/DIY, Shoes- Office, Bag- New Look

As I mentioned before I decided very last minute to go to the last day of LFW and therefore chose an outfit very last minute too. I found this vintage robe in my house and loved the print and decided to use the tie of the robe as a bow/neck tie. I felt rather inspired by the men I had seen on the first day of LFW with their matching bold prints and plain shirts.

I have my magazine deadline creeping up faster than I can handle so my stress levels are slightly high right now but am hoping I can somehow post the final outcome on here when it's all done :)

LAST DAYS OF LONDON

Back home with sort of mixed feelings.

I have to admit it has been ridiculously fun during the FW, I loved the fact that I had time to catch up with some of my favorite photographers,meet new one, go to  shows and meet up with some fellow bloggers.I mean it was four day of b** cracking fun, beautiful garments and shoots to hold even Narcissus himself happy. And yet I am stuck here, wandering if the bloggers were a one trick PR pony and is what we do relevant, or rather we have made our own bed, now we have to lay in it to?

To be quite honest, I am definitely not sure.

On the other side, I have to note that the relevance of one's work is something that is a subject of discussion. I for my part blog not only about what I wores, but rather put together things that I miss to see in magazines or generally in the fashion world. I often find myself looking through editorials which seem to be more and more avantgarde and more and more beautiful but somewhat without a purpose or at the end the inspiration. I am often wandering if this new avantgarde is a fashions response to the bloggers interpretation of designer garments to everyday style?

That being said, I have to say that I partially do not agree with myself, since there is a reason that every month I buy Vogue US, UK, It and FR and stock them into my small apartment...

But back to a cheerer subject:: Thank you all for the great time in LFW and c u in Paris!

(Skipping Milan, I do have to work you know..;))

I am wearing BikBok/Never Denim neopren jacket, Designers Remix sweater, Acne skirt and sunnies, Aquazzura heels and Valentino purse.

LFW DAY ONE: Exhibition

I wasn't expecting to be accepted for an exhibition pass but it was easier than I thought. It was quite a long queue but worth it! For any bloggers interested in going over the next few days or next season, all you had to do was show your blogger stats and if you have over 5,000 hits a month you should be accepted. Then I just filled out a form to say what type of blogger I am and what posts I do etc. This pass allowed me to look around the designer exhibitions situated around Somerset House. My favourite was Topshop's Newgen (see below) mainly because of all the beautiful shoes!

LFW STREET STYLE DAY FIVE

I spontaneously decided to head back up to London yesterday for the last day of LFW to take some more Street Style snaps. I didn't take as many as the first day so put all my favourites in one post this time. Notice the theme of coloured faux fur?

IN LOVE WITH THIS CHICK ^^ <3 

Love this girls style, if anyone knows if she has a blog let me know :) I stupidly forgot to ask!

Coolest kid ever!
