Before You See Beyonce

Happy Monday from the sunniest and warmest London. All I want to do these days is be outside until the sun goes down and eat ice-cream. Everyone on the streets seems to be united by the joy of the spring feeling in the air and it just makes me smile.

If you follow me on Instagram (@juliashutenko) you've seen that last week one of my dreams came true and I went to see Beyonce's concert in London's O2 arena. I still can't believe this has happened! I feel like I never want to go a see any other performances because I don't think anyone or anything can outdo Queen B. She, her voice and the show were perfect! And I wish I could continue following her tour and experience her power every evening. 

I chose this outfit for the concert for some very particular reasons:

- An oversized (and very warm) jumper allowed me not to wear any coat, therefore not having any hassle with it while at the concert

- I wore heels thinking that being taller might be handy if someone decides to block my view (thankfully, there was none of that).

Let me know if you've seen Beyonce live too guys, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

The Secret of the Coat

There can never be too many coats! That's what I thought when an Australian label, Finders Keepers, suggested I select one thing I liked the most from their new collection. And I was completely right because it turned out to be just perfect. It's secret is in the collar that can be transformed at least three different ways, every time creating a whole new look to an outfit. And its leather sleeve detail is adding the right amount of chic and edge to the look. I am very excited to see how this coat will work with all the different styling options I have planned for it and I have a feeling that it will be my go-to item this spring. 

Have a wonderful weekend guys and don't forget to eat some pancakes! xo

Workwear

Happy Monday guys! Hope you are ready to enjoy another week and have nice after-work activities planned. So far, it's mostly meetings and more meetings on my schedule, but I always enjoy those, so nothing to complain about.
Speaking of work, this outfit is something that I've put on for an important interview last week. I wanted to look professional and grown up with some chic element to it. I can always rely on my Lanvin heels when it comes to chic. It's been more than a year since I've got them in New York and every time I open the box butterflies still have a blast in my stomach. Do you have such a timeless piece that makes you happy every time you look at it? Please share your thoughts.

One more thing! It's 4 days left until Black Friday and 7 days until Cyber Monday which means SHOPPING! And I am very excited to be able to help all of you shop with some great discounts to all the major stores. Stay tuned with my blog to get all the PROMO CODES closer to the dates. I'll have lots of those!

Also please let me know if you would like me to make an edit of the best sale items for you. If you do, than leave a comment telling me about your favorite brands and stores and what kind of things you'll be hunting for.

Looking forward to hearing from you xx

Under My Umbrella

It's not exactly easy to shoot a blog right now, giving that everyday is super rainy and super windy in London. And I am not one of those people who isn't affected by the weather. I prefer to observe the wet and unwelcoming autumn situation from the comfort of my flat, with a huge cup of tea in my hands and a good read. But, once in a while, rain can become a reason to do something different and fun. And all thanks to the must have autumn accessory - an umbrella! I have been waiting to bring out this eye catching prop for a while now and had no idea how much of a mood booster something like this can be.

Aware that the umbrella will be a definite pop of colour in this shoot, I have chosen to wear this Finders Keepers black and white dress to keep a nice balance between the two. As I have previously mentioned (here and here) I love the cut and the design of the brands' dresses. This particular one is perfect for the autumn with its colour, print and slightly thicker material.

What makes you feel cosy during rainy days? Let me know

London Fashion Week, Day 4

Day four of London Fashion Week was a bit more relaxed though still packed with exciting shows to attend like Osman and Peter Pilotto. I have also previewed collections by Huishan Zhang and the designers from the Wolf & Badger store on Dover Street. There is so much inspiration everywhere that next season's wish list is already shaping up in my head.

My outfit for the day was this super cool dress by Geeks & Stitches available at the Little Black Dress. It's unusual print was perfect for the London Fashion Week and very popular with the street style photographers. Make sure to check out Little Black Dress website to find thousands of dresses of any style. They are all conveniently divided into the occasions, colour and style categories which makes it very easy to find exactly what you are looking for. As yesterday's weather reminded of the deep autumn more than any day before, I have paired the dress with the leather jacket and black tights to stay warm. 

Let me know what you think about this outfit x
