Bet you guys did not expect color blocking on this blog? Neither did I, since usually it’s one of my least favorite styling techniques. Even though camel is considered a neutral color, it looks really strong combined with a dark green blazer, a recent sales find, and I loved the combo so I had to wear it the other day to meet a client. I have to confess I often opt for blazers and pumps to appear more serious than I really am
This look’s another proof that I don’t need actual spring to dress like it’s spring. The moment the snow melts I’m ready to bare my ankles, even if it’s just for a quick walk to a pastry place around the corner. I’m not a winter person and I hate the cold but dressing lightly makes me feel a bit better, if that makes any sense.
Today has been an amazing day and I’m bursting with excitement and gratefulness as I’m writing this. You know how you’re sometimes hoping or dreaming of something and the opportunity comes knocking on your door? Well, today has been full of such opportunities, and even though it’s nothing major I can’t stress enough how important it is to have clear goals and think positive. Those are the two things that I’ve always been taking lightly, but I assure you, if there’s anything in life that really works, it’s them!
P. S. Yo still have a couple of days to participate in my Valentine’s Day giveaway to be able to win a beautiful gold or silver love tag necklace.
If there’s one thing in my life that I’m never gonna quit it’s definitely searching for the perfect jeans. I’ve been craving a pair of vintage Levi’s for God knows how long, but last month I finally caved and got them off Ebay only to realize the wash and the fit are fine, but not perfect. I do love how they look on me, but I can’t help but wonder if I’m gonna be slightly luckier with my next denim purchase, and so the search continues.
I’m wearing:
Coat – Shein (size S)
Sweater – Topshop
Jeans – vintage Levi’s
Boots – Zara
Watch – Marc Bale
Looks like the season of running from one building to another at the speed of light and with clenched teeth is getting to an end, at least according to the weather app on my iPhone! I do have a couple winter outfits to show you though where there’s still some snow. This particular styling was inspired by one of my own posts from a couple weeks ago, turns out they are useful after all!
I’m wearing:
Coat – Choies (old one, similar one here and here)
Blazer – Zara
Turtleneck – Shein
Pants – Baukjen
Iphone case – Richmond&Finch
As part of Asos Be Yourself project I was asked to pick an outfit from Asos that would represent my everyday work style and answer a couple of questions about my work. I have to admit I’m lucky to wear whatever I like whenever I like since I don’t work at an office anymore, but naturally I try to make my clothes look appropriate to where I’m going and fulfill specific tasks.
1. Where do you work and what’s your position? I work as a fashion stylist on shootings, a personal stylist and a blogger.
2. Which aspects of your work make you get out of bed every morning with enthusiasm? Every day is not like the other, at work I’m always challenged creatively and get to meet new inspiring people everyday. I’m a huge perfectionist and it makes me happy to see my work highly appreciated, and for that I’m ready to wake up as early as needed.
3. What is a standard dress code in your industry? No dresscode whatsoever.
4. What constitutes your ultimate outfit combination? My ultimate combination has to be comfortable, flattering and trendy. I need to be at multiple places throughout the day so I keep all these aspects in mind, when I get dressed in the morning.
5. What are your favorite work shoes and why? Definitely ankle boots. They are edgy, comfortable and work with so many outfit combinations.
6. Any tips on how to save time doing your hair in the morning? There’s this old school thing I’m doing every morning. After I wash and blow dry my hair I’m using velcro rollers to add some volume to the roots while I’m doing my makeup. It works!
7. Can you give an advice, fashion-related or not, to the people wishing to work in your industry? The hardest thing is always to persuade yourself you can achieve things, once you do that the rest is a piece of cake! As for the fashion advice, always analyze the effect you want your clothes to have on people and dress according to that.
8. Why you chose this outfit combination? I wore this particular outfit yesterday, which was my normal work day, where I styled a shooting in the morning, had my pictures taken in the afternoon, went to pickup clothes and accessories for the upcoming shooting and had a meeting with a client after. A warm statement coat and the turtleneck kept me warm, while the moderate heel on the boots and some loose-fitting jeans kept me comfortable. In a warmer weather I would probably replace the coat with a blazer, and wear some pumps instead, but this pretty much sums up what I like to wear everyday.
I’m wearing:
Faux fur coat – Asos
Turtleneck – Asos
Jeans – Asos
Snake print boots – Asos
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Mark Bale
