They're Different

Two weeks ago I had the honour to attend the launch of these Futura by Silhouette sunglasses at Matches. It was a great celebration of the 50 years of this iconic design and the reveal of the SS14 style. 

The sunglasses are so cool and unique that I just had to challenge myself and experiment with different ways of styling them. They are like nothing else that I own and I have to say they inspired me to try and be more inventive with my style too. 

On the other hand, all experiments aside, these sunnies are perfect for daily life. Come summer, you will see them a lot on this blog and on my Instagram (@juliashutenko). It will always be one of the statement pieces in my wardrobe. One that will definitely make me stand out from the crowd.

Buy your Futura sunglasses at Matches (here).

Beach Holiday Packing

It's the peak of the holiday season! Well, you know the time, when offices are empty and everyone you know is laying on the beach somewhere around the world? I definitely know the feeling and that is why I am doing it too! Guilty as charged - it's my turn to enjoy the beach and the sunshine! Ever since booking the trip my brain has slowly started to boil overwhelmed by the thought of the packing ahead of me. Well, turns out it 's not difficult at all. My advise to everyone who is planning their getaway at the moment is to close your eyes and imagine your ideal beach self. What are you wearing? How are you feeling? And trust me, the right image will pop straight in front of your eyes. Mine can be described by one word - 'floaty.' Floaty, light, colourful fabrics of dresses and cover ups. Very low-key and cute. And as fun as possible! It's the time to relax and radiate happiness! And I can't wait to start!

PS. Here's my pick of the beach holiday must-haves (and a lot of these are on sale right now). Have a great holiday!
