Birkenstocks

After months of resisting the trend I have finally welcomed myself into the Birkenstock family. And I'm glad I did because my feet are so comfortable in them that I wish I converted earlier. So what was planned to be a shopping trip for some new simple sandals unexpectedly ended up with two pairs of his and hers Birks (Patrik actually started the whole thing). I felt brave and edgy and it's so funny how what was forever considered as the most unadventurous and unflattering shoe suddenly takes guts to wear. For a long time I said to people that no one managed to sell the Birks trend to me, none of the editorials, bloggers or models did it for me. Then something clicked inside my brain and my attitude changed. I love when this happens! It's nice to be more open minded. Now I'm just worried that I'll ruin their perfect whiteness so I'm taking great care while wearing them.

I'll show you many more ways that you can style Birkenstocks soon as I'm quite excited to see them in action myself. All my other shoes have respectfully made some space in the closet for the Birks and they are proudly waiting to be walked again.

Now go watch some football and have a great weekend! xx

Maxi

Hi Monday! Hi guys! How was your weekend? We've had such warm and sunny days here in London recently. I spent all day yesterday tanning in the park, watching football, eating ice-cream and of course babysitting Diego. Purrrfect weekend!

I wore this SUNDRY maxi dress to visit our friend's allotment. It's located just 10 minutes walk from Highgate station and, once there, you forget that you are still in the city. I am quite a gardener myself so to see so many flowers, fruits, berries and veggies excited me a lot. It felt like I'm back home at my Grandma's gardens. 

This outfit is perfect for a day out like this one. Since I discovered SUNDRY I can't get enough of their effortlessly cool Californian style. And I still have a couple more SUNDRY things to show you. 

Hopefully this week I can give you a more exact date of my RELAUNCH. Sooooo excited and can't wait! Stay with me guys and you will have a totally new experience on my blog soon!

Have a great week! xo

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

Sunny Side With Marc Jacobs

Hi guys! It's Monday and I'm so excited about this upcoming week as I have a lot of projects to complete, a lot of nice posts to share with you and maybe even (I bet you didn't see this one coming)... get a baby kitten today! I won't tell you more about it right now except that after I am done with this post we are going to see one, so glue yourselves to my Instagram (@juliashutenko) to see what happens next. I am so excited that I couldn't sleep last night and woke up early and started counting down the hours until we get to see him. 

But let's talk about this outfit now. I am very proud of this post as I feel like the weather, the location, the light, my hair and my outfit all decided to work perfectly in sync with each other to help us achieve this edgy, cool look. I am head over heels obsessed with these Marc Jacobs sunnies and even have a little treat for you if you scroll down to the end of this post. I feel like since I cut my hair everything looks better and I'm happy that these sunglasses 'came' to me after my transformation. I highly recommend that all of you purchase round sunnies as they always add a wow-factor to any outfit. 

As for the rest of my look you know by now that I'm a big fan of Genetic denim and these jeans are  the latest addition to my growing Genetic collection. If you ever get a chance, do try a pair on to see just how soft and comfortable they feel. 

Have a great week everyone!
