Browns Focus: Coolest on the Block

If you haven't walked past South Molton Street in London recently, you'd be surprised to realize that the 'king of the coolest' Browns Focus store has relocated from one side of the street to another, joining the rest of Browns chain.
Now, let me tell you a bit about Browns Focus. It's the best if you are cool, creative, daring and want to stand out! All the best urban chic pieces live there under one roof! You'll find yourself taking notes of the new designer names and their pieces on the display as well as seeing the best of the well-known brands.
With the relocation and the new season collections hitting the store, I couldn't help but spend a lot of time both visiting it and browsing through its website. Here's my ultimate 'to die for' edit of the Browns Focus treasures.

Bikini Season

What makes a perfect bikini? Is it the print, material, brand, price or all of the above? In the ideal world, yes, it would be! And, believe me, this bikini perfect world is not that hard to find. With the amount of current choice (and sales!) you quest for the flattering beach attire shouldn't be too difficult. High-street or high-end, almost every store is full of playful little sets that are begging to be packed into your suitcase and taken to the faraway exotic locations. 

Here is my edit of the most delicious bikini in stores right now. Follow the links below and find your favourite!

On the Top

This is the last outfit post from Cyprus (sad face). Why should holidays ever end? You know the feeling when you know you are leaving soon and you are so envious of everyone who has just arrived and is yet to explore this wonderful place? That's pretty much how I felt for the last two days in Protaras. Thankfully, I have lots and lots of pictures to remind me of this wonderful time (as well as this little orange flower in my hair that I picked up in the local shop while on the holiday.)

This Boden dress was perfect to explore a bit of the surroundings of the island. It's bright flower print together with my coral sandals and mirrored sunnies made me feel slightly Hawaiian and very holiday-spirited.

I found myself on the edge of this cliff right before the sunset. This was a perfect place to say goodbye to the island and make a wish to come back soon.

Flower Power

Floaty. Again! It's yet another floaty light dress I wore while in Cyprus. This time it's by Charlie Jade and I love everything about it. It's so easy and comfortable to wear during the lazy holiday days and evenings! And what a lovely print! I must admit that anything colour blue tends to immediately catch my attention and jumps to the top of the list of the colours inside my wardrobe. I am not even sure if it's simply a phase or a lifelong pattern. 

I have found this beautiful flower wall right behind the hotel I was staying in. I wish you could smell the aroma that surrounded me while shooting this! 

There is just one more Cyprus post yet to come so keep checking my website for the updates. 

PS. It ain't gonna be floaty anymore! x

When in Cyprus

This was the second outfit I wore during my Cyprus holiday. I've had this Cos dress for a year now and it has never worked as well as in this exotic location. Cos is one of the best high-street stores to go for the interesting cuts and minimalistic designs. The wonderful thing about this dress in particular is that you can style it in so many different ways. I have already had it as an office dress (paired with the blazer), evening dress (heels and evening accessories) and casual, as you can see here. 

I should also mention my absolutely favourite neon wallet-purse from Comptoir des Cotonniers. I have never stepped anywhere without it during the trip. It is comfortable to store your phone, coins, cards and keys. Everything has it's own compartment inside and I just love it's design and colour!

I have already started missing my relaxing days in Cyprus and looking through these pictures bring back all the happy memories! 

Do you have any holidays planned? Let me know x

Hush Puppies Street Party

Hush Puppies have done it again! This time they turned an ordinary Saturday into a memorable East London street party. Now, after the success of the previous rooftop event, held back in June, I had no doubts that I was getting myself into a day of fun, good music and amazing food. And indeed it was! Imagine, a cosy little street being filled with the creative East London crowd, playing table tennis, and dancing to the tunes of Greg Wilson future disco. Add food by When Mac Met Cheese (not your ordinary one, but with jalapenos and bacon, trust me, it's worth trying!) and the weirdest, most delicious   cucumber, lime and chili flavoured popsicles from Icy Freshpops. All of this in addition to the currently glorious London weather and voila - the day could not be spent better!

Staying within the street themed party, I chose to wear these denim dungarees and the lightest crop top I could find. Having just recently returned from a week in Cyprus, I am continuing my newly acquired make up free habit and it's amazing how liberating it feels! 

Thank you Hush Puppies for yet another amazing day!

Into the Sunset

While packing for my holiday trip to Cyprus, I was focusing mainly on floaty light dresses. I knew I wouldn't want to wear anything heavier in the island's hot temperatures. This beautiful LNA Clothing  dress went into the suitcase before anything else and I couldn't wait to wear it for the first time. Since then, it's my go-to item (giving that London is so hot right now). I have been wearing it a couple of times while on the holiday and today it's going to make its London debut. 

It's perfect for both day and evening, just pair it with the right accessories. I didn't want to look to dressed up and decided to add metallic clutch, nude sandals and aviators. Heels? Maybe I'll try it one of these days. 

In the meantime, hello Friday and off I go! x
