Cutting Edge

I guess Autumn is officially here along with its appropriate weather. In London it mostly means rain, wind and low temperatures. But as they say, 'every season has its reason' and the best thing to do is to be fully prepared and embrace it all. Which is exactly what I am doing this week wrapped in this coat (that I had my eyes on for a long time, yay!) and stepping from my usual ballet flats into some proper cool boots.

I've wanted to embrace the current masculine trend since its appearance at AW13 fashion weeks and a great coat quickly earned no.1 spot on my wish list. Dreams met reality when I've got this gorgeous one for my birthday. It was hard to keep it hanging in the closet waiting for the appropriate weather to come. Once it got colder outside, I've been so excited to wear it and explore all the styling options that it opened up.

Great coat requires great boots and I have found them in these Simmi shoes. Cut-out details and tough, cool design are so in style right now that I was beyond happy to find it all in this one pair. Make sure to browse through Simmi website, you're gonna love the prices!

Have a great day! x

Fashion Journey. October 15th.

Now that the fashion weeks have finished, press days season takes over. Therefore, I have decided to start sharing my fashion journey over the next several weeks. I'll be running from event to event previewing all those collections that will hit the stores next spring. I know, it's a bit brain confusing to be looking at spring/summer clothes and accessories while autumn/winter is only just starting, but that's how the fashion world works. So, what is a press day? As you have probably understood from what you've read a second ago, it's an event during which members of the press get a first look at the next season's collections. Press days are always fun and spectacular events. Brands do their best to recreate the mood and feel of their new collections with an elaborate and creative interior, snacks and drinks.

So, below is what I have seen today, starting with the always mood boosting Paul Frank. It's iconic hero, Julius, has landed himself on nearly any thing you could think of. I mean, you want Julius as your phone case or luggage - you've got it! That also goes for cupcakes, cups, watches, lip balms and (my absolute favourite) onesies! I know, that Paul Frank is sometimes associated with children's stuff, well, not in my case. I can easily see myself living in the Paul Frank store (guilty as charged, I am writing it wearing an adorable Paul Frank dress).

Next stop of the day was the Luxottica press day. Luxottica is a big PR agency that looks after a lot of the top eyewear brands, including Miu Miu, Prada, Versace, Burberry, Ray-Ban, DKNY, Vogue, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren and many more. It's hard to be focused while in presence of such beauty surrounding you from every stand. Take a look at some of the amazing sunnies I've seen today, which are your favourites?

I then headed to the Melissa Odabash headquarters to swoon over the pretty colours and floaty designs  of their beachwear as well as a new line of jewellery. Is it too early to start planning my next beach holiday? I don't think so.

I finished my day with a stop at Radley's press day where I found myself surrounded by a beautiful spring. See what I mean when I say that interior designs of the events can be simply amazing? Radley is such a perfect example of it.

Stay tuned for more posts from my upcoming fashion journeys and follow me on Instagram to see everything as soon as it happens.

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
