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

paris outtakes

October 17, 2015

fashion-blogger-paris-cafeThis time in Paris I focused a lot more on catching some of its beauty with my iPhone rather than my DSLR, for an Instagram addict like me pictures taken with the phone seem to have more life to them, plus all the editing can be done in 10 seconds. I did, however find a bunch of pics on my laptop to show you guys along with a few tips and observations I made while in Paris.

1. If you need to get somewhere fast, don’t take the cab. I made this mistake the previous time, and not only did it cost an arm and a leg, I never got anywhere on time because of the insane traffic. The metro, on the other hand, is super quick and always on schedule.

We were confronted by the metro police on our way out and they handled the situation terribly, refusing to speak English (even though they spoke well) or explain anything, still one of the worst memories of Paris and let’s say I’ve had my share of thieves, scammers and rude waiters during my trips to Paris.

3. The best service we get is always in small cafes away from the main tourist streets. The prices are much better too.

4. I’ve been to Paris a couple of times but never had the chance to visit the Louvre, the queues are intimidating. This time we did manage to see Musee d’Orsay, which has the largest collection of impressionists in the world and a lot of French art in general. We went there on the first Sunday of the month and turns out, it’s the only day in the month, when you can get in for free.

Sure, there’s plenty of amazingness in the center, but avoiding hoards of tourists you’ll be able to connect with Paris on a deeper level. Don’t waist your time queuing at Laduree, there’s plenty of great macarons at every corner and do get up as early as you can to see Paris empty, it’s an awesome experience.

6. I know it’s cliche but the Eiffel Tower is my favorite thing to see and I never get tired of it. Don’t limit yourself to Place Trocadero, there’s at least twenty other places, where you can see it from new amazing angles (Google Maps are your friends).

Look of the Day: Tuileries

I’m back home from Paris and all the madness surrounding Fashion Week and I finally have time to sort through 7 thousand (!) pictures we took and draw some conclusions regarding the fashion week itself. Aside from some very inspiring and beautiful shows there were some pretty crappy ones that were a complete waste of fabric. Being a person who’s late for everything, one thing I really liked was that none of the shows ever started on time. I got so used to this that on my last day of fashion week I actually missed half of the show. 
I have to admit I’ve probably been a bag blogger, because I almost never took pictures of the shows I went to. I always watch the looks from the collections I’m interested in on vogue.com and I’m not very curious to see the same looks captured from at least 20 different seats in my blog feed so I won’t bother you with them and instead will show you what I wore :)

The outfit above was captured after the Viktor&Rolf show that took place in Jardin des Tuileries, I went for a baby blue dress and a classic camel coat for a feminine vibe.
I’m wearing:
Coat – Zara (similar ones here, here and here)
Dress – Love
Bag – Michael Kors 
Heels – Semilla
Watch – Michael Kors
Rings – Asos

Paris Fashion Week is over, at least for me. Can’t say I’m very sad – although it’s been an awesome experience, I have to admit it’s exhausting! My feet are a mess from all the heels and running from one show to another, and my hair feels like a loofah from all the hot tools and products I used to make it look decent throughout the week. Anyways, I’m flying home on Thursday and tomorrow I’m planning to have Paris just for me. I have tons of new outfits to show you, when I get back!
As you can probably tell from the name, in this outfit post I’m channeling Danny Zuko from Grease. :)
I’m wearing:
 
Jacket – Zara (similar ones here and here)
Sweater – Chicwish
Jeans –  Asos
Shoes – Chicwish
Bag – Milly via Revolve Clothing
Watch – Pink Naples from Rapp

Those of you, who follow me on instagram might have already noticed I changed my location a couple days ago. I’ve been invited to numerous shows and presentations at Paris Fashion Week, so who was I to say NO? Up until the last moment I wasn’t sure PFW was going to happen for me, so I didn’t want to say anything until it was clear.

I wore the outfit above to the Barbara Bui show, which was beyond beautiful, aside from the fact I haven’t seen so many celebrities in one place ever in my life :) I also got to meet some of the coolest bloggers and got elbowed by Anja Rubik at a Gosia Baczynska show later in the evening, so all in all it was a really nice first day experience.

Right now I’m getting ready for a bunch of other shows, so gotta go! Sorry I can’t post very often and follow me on instagram for live updates!
I’m wearing:
Jacket – Zara
Skirt – All Saints (bought it a couple months ago, similar one here
Crop top – Asos
Bag – The Leather Satchel
Boots – Aldo (on sale!)
Watch – Michael Kors
