White Jeans

You can call me old fashioned but I reserve my white denim for the sunniest of spring/summer days. This is one of the items in my wardrobe that sleeps all the way through the winter and only comes back when it's warm, dry and beautiful outside. And the weather is just right these days.

But it's not just the weather that made me wear these white jeans. It's the fact that I got them just last week and couldn't wait any longer to show them to you. They are very cool and come from LA denim brand Koral. My relationship with these jeans started the moment I noticed the knee detailing which made them look slightly biker and not like any other white jeans I've seen so far. I never owned a pair of white jeans that I was absolutely happy with before. So the fact that I found these makes me very excited. And this stripy ensemble is just the beginning of the styling journey these jeans will take me on.

Hope everyone is having a good week x

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.
