Brands I Love and Relaunch News

Big news! This is going to be the last post on this version of Julia Shutenko blog and next time I upload something you are going to be introduced to the new design and ... new name of the blog! There's been a lot of changes happening in my life and it's only natural that my blog has to catch up and change along. It's not going to be just an update of the current version - it's going to be a major step up which will hopefully make your experience on my website much more interactive and better. I am going to launch with the most important and personal post I've ever done and I honestly can't wait. And guys, I think all of that might happen in just 2 days! So roll on Sunday!

But for now I hope you enjoy this post from last week. London has so much to offer in terms of locations and stunning backdrops. We shot this while strolling through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and even though I've been there many times before I have never noticed this beautiful building that is just asking to be photographed. 

Also you have probably noticed how often I wear Sundry tops and dresses as well as Genetic jeans. What can I say, these two brands are killing it with perfection!

Have a nice Friday and join me on Sunday for a whole new journey!

GUESS True Blue

Who could resist an invitation to preview a new Guess accessories collection and get their nails done at the Cowshed spa? I definitely couldn't and had a great time. You probably don't remember but a year ago I shared a similar post with you guys and as you can see I was as excited back then as I am now. It's becoming a nice July tradition! 

The new collection is called GUESS True Blue and has an amazing variety of accessories. I love love love blue denim watches! Also, my outfit matched the topic of the event perfectly with my denim dungarees and blue shirt. Dungarees are such a must in everyone's wardrobes! There are tons of ways to style them and they can be worn on so many occasions. 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Lipsy Love Michelle Keegan

Last night I attended the launch of Michelle Keegan for Lipsy collection at the beautiful Rosewood Hotel, London. The setting was grand, the clothes were beautiful and I had a great time! I got a chance to talk to Michelle and you can read her interview HERE. I was very lucky to wear a dress from the collection and judging by how good I felt in it and how well it fit, I can't wait to shop more pieces from this collaboration. 

Michelle Keegan for Lipsy collection hits the stores today so make sure you stop by the shops and try it on! Trust me, it will be impossible for you to leave empty handed!

World Cup with Benefit

Our double trouble team is back! This time me and Tamara from The Glam and Glitter blog are watching football, indulging in some gossip while getting our make-up done and all of it in the chicest pub on Earth - all thanks to Benefit Cosmetics! Let me tell you more...

When the World Cup started a couple of weeks ago I woke up one morning and I was going through my Facebook news feed when something super pink and girly caught my eye. Clicking on the story I learned that Benefit Cosmetics had taken over the second floor of a pub in Covent Garden and turned it into the perfect location for girls to watch football. I knew then and there that I would have to visit it and share it with you guys! I called Tamara and we went to explore this pink heaven. Now let me just list some of the things that are happening in Gabbi's Head pub. You can get your brows waxed and get full make-up done every day plus have a spray tan every Thursday. All of it is complimentary for a suggested donation. All donations go to Refuge - a charity for women and children against domestic violence. You can also learn everything about Benefit products and get a skincare consultation. AH-MAZING, right?! Top it up with some delicious cocktails, snacks, gorgeous surroundings, friendly stuff and football all of which makes it one of the must-visit places in London. Hurry up and go to Gabbi's Head before the World Cup is finished because after that the pub will go back to its old self. I say we should start a petition for keeping this place looking this way forever, what do you think? There are more than enough boring looking pubs in London (okay, maybe not boring, but definitely not fun or girly enough), and there is only one pink Benefit pub.  

I hope you enjoy the pictures and I hope I made you want to visit this cool place. Gabbi's Head is located on 1st Floor, 150-151 Drury Lane, London, WC2B 5TB and is opened everyday from 12pm.

PS. Fingers crossed for my blog's RELAUNCH to happen this or next week. I am preparing something very special to share with you that day! 

PPS. I hit 10k followers on Instagram last week and wanted to thank you so much for following my blog and making me smile! Love you guys xx
