1. Linen

It’s a perfect summer fabric, it’s light and breezy, and also it’s one of the biggest trends this summer. I had a couple linen pieces in my closet and they made a huge difference, like this skirt I wore with a simple crop top and later with a white shirt.

SHOP LINEN:

2. Jumpsuits

I only had one and it made my life all the more easier, because styling a jumpsuit is a no-brainer – just add a net bag and a pair of slides and you’re all set.

SHOP JUMPSUITS

3. Woven bags and sandals

These were basically all of my accessories on this trip and I never needed anything else, I do have to admit I had more than one pair of slides and more than one straw bag.

SHOP SANDALS & MULES:

SHOP WOVEN BAGS:

4. White pants

Because what better time to wear them than a summer vacation – they are more elegant than your usual denim shorts and are perfect for night outs and cocktails in the hotel lobby.

SHOP WHITE PANTS:

5. Sunnies

And I don’t mean the ones that are trendy and have to be worn on the nose rather than actually cover your eyes from the sun. I only took one classic large pair of sunnies with me and they looked amazing with earrings and simple hair.

SHOP SUNGLASSES:

6. Co-ords

Another no-brainer for a steamy vacation – they go perfect together, but can also be born separately in case you’re feeling fashionable.

SHOP CO-ORDS:

7. Swim suits

Duh, nothing new in this department, the only thing to add is that I love this season’s swimwear trends – minimalism, simple shapes, colors of Sicily and Morocco, one shoulder designs, plastic hardware

SHOP SWIMSUITS:

For the event I wore Zara leather jacket, Asos top and Elizabetta Franchi pants. Bag – Cult Gaia.

A little cocktail dress with overtness situation from Milan. Wore this ruffled dress to the Diesel Black Gold  show and decided to pair it with an unconventional shoe like these cutout overknees from Guess. My metallic nails and accessories seemed like a perfect addition to the burgundy and black palette of the outfit so I went with them.

I’m wearing:

Dress – N12H
Boots – Guess
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Nicole Vienna

Dress – Asos (in Petite here)
Sneakers – Tretorn
Bag – Saint Laurent

If you guys are following me on instagram you probably noticed I went to Milan last week for Fashion Week with Marie Claire magazine. I didn’t have much time to prepare outfit-wise, but I’m so happy I got this dress from Asos a day before departure. It’s that perfect street style material that you need in a city like Milan. I saw two other girls wearing this same dress during MFW so maybe it’s not only my opinion

Will do a small recap about it later and share my Milan experience with you, so stay tuned <3

Going to Croatia was a very spontaneous decision, we didn’t even get a chance to find plane tickets so my two girlfriends and I ended up driving all across Hungary and Croatia to get to the city of Split, where we spent the night and got on a ferry the next day to reach our final destination – the island of Hvar. We booked a beautiful apartment on airbnb and spent a lovely week in the cities of Stari Grad and Hvar.

Croatia is even more beautiful in real life, than in the pictures I’ve seen on instagram, the Adriatic sea was extremely warm and the water was very salty and clear. If you’re into nightlife, I definitely recommend staying in the town of Hvar, it’s a very lively place. Stari Grad, where our apartment was located, has a beautiful port and the old town, amazing nature and was more on a quiet side, so we ended up driving to Hvar every day, since it’s only 15 min away.

I don’t know about you guys, but I personally never had a love & hate relationship with UGGs. Maybe it’s because of the really cold temperatures I sometimes find myself living in, that only these boots seem to cope with, but I always loved their minimalistic styles. I’m a huge fan of chunky boots over skinny pants, like in the old times of Givenchy or Isabel Marant, and these boots right slightly remind me of that silhouette.

I chose the classic chestnut UGGs for a short road trip with a friend the other day and I kept the rest of the outfit as simple and cozy as possible, but I definitely see myself wearing them in my looks of the day because the styling possibilities are numerous and I wouldn’t mind bringing more coziness into some of my more fashionable outfits. For every season I find a pair of flat shoes that I wanna wear all the time and these UGGs might just be the one! I do intend to challenge myself in creating a couple of less obvious outfit combos so stay tuned for that!

How do you guys feels about UGGs?

I’m wearing:

Cardigan – Zara
Sweater – Baukjen
Jeans – Asos
Boots – UGG Australia

I hope you guys had a lovely New Year and already sorted out all your resolutions for 2016. I’m finding it difficult to express everything I expect from myself in 2016 because 2015 taught me that there is no limit to what I can do and achieve.

Some of my defining moments in 2015 were:
– moving to another city and choosing personal styling as my final career path
– seeing therapist for the first time in my life (I have to confess I faced an identity crisis this summer and getting professional help was one of the     best decisions in my life, if you guys ever doubt – go for it!)
– attending trainings and reading a ton of books on personal growth
– learning to meditate
– Paris Fashion Week
– meeting truly inspiring people that I can learn a lot from

Some of the things I plan to focus on in 2016:
– finding balance between work and pleasure
– building a strong body
– traveling to places I’ve never been
– getting back to learning French and Spanish
– reading books I’ve been saving on my Ipad throughout 2015
– learning to network and delegate

As for the look above, as you can probably tell the pics were taken near Musee du Louvre in Paris. I always forget to post everything we shoot on our trips and was happy to find them browsing through my folders yesterday. It’s super casual as it was taken on the last day of exploring the city, I hope you like it.

I’m wearing:

Coat – Zara
Sweater and jeans – H&M
Shoes – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – Saint Laurent
Sunglasses – ZeroUV
Watch – Daniel Wellington

Strolling along Canal St Martin on our last day in Paris in my striped poncho, which doubles as a scarf and a blanket on a plane.  Probably one of the most versatile items in my closet that I try to stock up on ever since blanket capes became a thing. I can’t believe Paris happened almost a month ago, even though this has been a one hectic month for me. Can’t wait to go back as soon as I can, I’ve definitely left my heart there.

I’m wearing:

Poncho – Stradivarius (cool ones here, here and here )
Sweater – Mango
A-line denim skirt – Shein (similar ones here and here)
Suede boots – Zara (similar ones here and here)

Here’s a black and white outfit I wore on one of my last days in Paris. The venue of a morning show was next to Pont de l’Alma, which was a great opportunity to shoot this outfit only a 10-minute walk away on Rue de Monttessuy – the place from which, in my personal opinion, the Eiffel Tower looks the most impressive.

Too bad this wasn’t at sunset, the light and the colors would be amazing, but I’m pretty happy about how these images turned out, even though on that day I forgot to take a hairbrush with me, and that for me is worse than forgetting my phone and wallet. Need to brush that hair every 30 min, that’s my secret of staying sane

I’m wearing:

Sleeveless coat – Shein (tucked the collar in for a cleaner look)
Dress – Front Row
Sneakers – Adidas Stan Smith
Bag – Asos

GET THE LOOK:

This has to be my absolute favorite outfit from Paris regardless of the fact I’m wearing a $16 top and my underwear is slightly showing through the skirt, although you might not notice that. I’m obsessed with striped knitwear this season and pleated skirts are sort of fresh and new to me and I felt really feminine wearing this to the Chloe show on my very first day in Paris. And as I mentioned before, these lace up heels (previously worn here and here) are the most beautiful shoes I’ve ever owned, so add that to a perfect combo.

I’m wearing:

Top – Shein
Skirt – Zara (lots of options in this post)
Heels – Asos (similar ones here, here and here)
Bag – Asos
Necklace – Jane Kønig
