Flowers in My Bag

Oh London! You are so warm and sunny these days. You leave no reason for anyone to complain about the weather. Fingers crossed it's going to stay this way.

Being in the mood for all things spring and colour I couldn't resist bringing some beautiful props into this shoot. I love spring's first flowers and always make sure to decorate my home with fresh bouquets. It makes so much difference to be surrounded by these pretty reminders. 

So here is my take on yet another casual chic outfit that is perfect for a cosy weekend stroll and visits to the flower market. Every time I find a new way to style boyfriend jeans it amazes me of the versatility of this garment. If I go back and put together a collage of all the times I wore them it would be a quite impressive 'Wear it 100 different ways' kind of guide.  

This is looking to be a very busy week for me, so stay tuned for my updates from all the events I am going to attend. I am going to try and show them to you here as well as on the Instagram (@juliashutenko).

Have a great week everyone xx

Getting Serious

This is my idea of a perfect workwear outfit for things like job interviews and work lunches when you are out and about discussing serious things with serious people. Those kind of situations happen to absolutely all of us and it's important to know the dress code. And I'd advise you to not be boring! 

Take a look at my outfit, for example. What can be more ordinary than a black and grey combo? That's where accessories come in! Don't be afraid to add statement and colour with your bag or jewellery. Make a very simple and classic outfit more fun like I did by carrying this bright orange clutch. And one more thing, try and wear something that can be worn both day and night. The dress I'm wearing here is pure fabulous on its own so I would have no problem going from a serious meeting to a cocktail bar.

What's your idea of a serious outfit? x

Pretty in Punk with TONI&GUY

Last Saturday I had a pleasure to attend a Fashion Shooters festival organised by Warehouse in order to celebrate their latest campaign shot by Helena Christensen. If you follow me on Instagram (@juliashutenko) you've seen my posts from the day and know how much fun I had and how entertaining this event was. Amongst the variety of activities that I participated in, I also got a chance to have my hair done by the amazing TONI&GUY professionals. I loved what they've created so much that I dedicated this entire post to it.

The hair style I'm wearing is called Pretty in Punk and it's the part of the new Fashion Fix hair 'menu' that you can find in all TONI&GUY salons. The idea behind this new project is to bring catwalk hair to the high-street and make it affordable to us all. It doesn't take long to create these styles and the results are breathtaking.

I have to admit that I hit a hair crisis quite some time ago. Before you've met me on this blog I used to change my haircuts and colour every couple of months since I was 13! I've been icy blond and caramel, I had fringe and even had my hair fully braided (think Beyoncé at her Destiny's Child stage). And two years ago I decided to have a new type of change and grow back my natural hair colour. Right at the same time ombre style became trendy and I haven't done anything ever since. So bored is not even starting to describe how I feel about my hair some days. That's why TONI&GUY's Fashion Fix was exactly what I needed.

Let me know what you think about this hair style and have a great day! xo

Beauty Around Me

Happy Sunday! I felt like doing something bright and inspirational today and what can be more perfect than flowers? I am quite a 'flower snapper' when it comes to my Instagram (@juliashutenko) and this is a quick edit of the latest beauties seen through my 4x4 lens. Enjoy! x

Cherry Blossom

Cherry blossoms! Is there anything more beautiful? Every spring I wait for these couple of weeks when the trees are blooming and can't believe that such beauty can exist. I have a couple of trees just by my house and every time I walk past them I want to take a picture as every day the blossoms get bigger and more colourful than the day before. And the fact that they are only blooming for two weeks in a year makes their presence so much more special.

As for this outfit, I wanted to get a new black biker jacket for a while and as you can see I went completely off board and purchased a white one. I blame it on the spring and its warm weather. A white  jacket is much trickier to style than black one, so I went for a classic monochrome look as I didn't want any other colours to distract from the beauty of the cherry blossoms. I am also wearing a new Coco & Cleo necklace and it's the coolest design I've seen in a long time. Check out their collection here.

Have a great day everyone xx

Hey guys! Just a quick outfit post from the sunniest London. Hope everyone is having an amazing Sunday! I had the best time with Mom and we were so lucky with this weather. It's been so warm that I kept wondering whether I'm still in London or on some exotic vacation (check my Instagram for the proof @juliashutenko). Fingers crossed this weather is here to stay.

This outfit is my version of a casual smart look that would have been completely classic if it wasn't for the boyfriend jeans and the oversized cut of the shirt. Ear cuff brought a bit of an edgy feeling to the whole thing which I am such a fan of. These red heels that I brought back from New York a couple of seasons ago keep doing their job and making me feel chic no matter what I am wearing them with. All in all, this is a great outfit for both work days and weekends.

Let me know how was your weekend, what you've seen and where you've been xx
