Summer Blues

Hello lovely people! It's Friday and I bet all of you have something nice planned for the weekend - whether it's traveling, partying or just chilling in front of TV. I'll definitely be watching some football and entertaining my baby Diego. He is a tiny, two months old kitten who joined our family on Monday. Since then my days have been filled with kitten activities, making sure he is getting used to his new home, litter training (successfully!) and keeping him happy and safe. I've had lots of half slept nights since Monday as Diego is up at 5am every morning for an hour, biting and scratching everything near him (including me) before finally going back to sleep around 6am. But I am so happy we have him! Life with a pet is so much better! Take a look at my Instagram (@juliashutenko) to  keep up with the #LifeOfDiego.

As for this outfit, blue has always been topping the list of my favourite colours. This look is just another proof of that. London is warm right now and this Sundry light dress is perfect for the weather. Its' colour makes me happy every time I look at it and it's definitely going to be a go-to piece this Summer. And how cool are these Oxydo sunnies? Again, this blue is to die for and I can't stop wearing them.

Also, we are at the last stages of my blogs' RELAUNCH, it should happen by the end of this month, so keep an eye on my updates.

Have a great day,

Julia xo

I Woke Up Like This

Hi guys! Happy Monday! Hope you are having a nice sunny day and taking it easy on the first day of the week!

Here's a quick and colourful post shot during this weekend in London. I wanted to find a fun location and knew without any doubt that the cool and hipster Shoreditch and Bricklane areas would not disappoint. While walking around, I was inspired by everything from people with an immaculate sense of style and layering skills, to the colourful art on the walls. Add in the nice sunny weather and what could be better?

While in Bricklane I always want to look a bit more grunge, a bit more cool and so boyfriend jeans, biker boots and some layering on top were an easy choice for the day. I love those outfits that make you feel comfortable, that don't require well styled hair and anything in between the lines of Beyonce's 'I woke up like this' work the best. 

Also, I am excited to announce that I teamed up with Cosmopolitan Russia during London Fashion Week to report on the street style! Check out the gallery of the images I shot for them here and don't forget to sometimes stop by my PRESS page for the latest updates. xo

Blue Jeans

Since I was old enough to appreciate a good pair of blue jeans, it was the one item that I couldn't imagine my wardrobe without. Throughout the years they went through all sorts of transformations from straight cut and high waisted, then flared and barely holding on the hips (no need to fight the truth, it was all thanks to a Britney Spears period in my life) to being super skinny (and still exposing more than I ever intended to). So these days, when practically all of the above are back in style and one has a freedom to choose I am happy to welcome these IDA blue jeans into my life. They truly are the combination of some of the styles mentioned above and it creates the most flattering and comfortable result. I love everything about them, from the deep blue colour to their length and the fact that they are high waisted. Bring on the cold weather as there will be no freezing anymore!

I have paired them with a casual yet still somewhat chic blazer, toned it down with a simple white tee and took my favourite Louboutins for a spin. I say it will work for both work meetings and cocktail hour with the girls, right?

Keep having a good week everyone x

Summer Blues

I love summer in London! We don't get too many perfect weather days throughout the year, but this summer has been spoiling us for a few weeks in the row already. So, I use every opportunity to wear as many dresses and skirts as possible while having a proper good rest from all types of jeans and trousers. This dress is always my go-to option when I want something very comfortable and low-key while still fun and colourful. This time it worked very well for the stroll through London's Chinatown on the way to dinner after a busy day.

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
