It's definitely the color of the season. Why? Because it's cooler than red, because it goes so well with all neutrals in your closet, and because it's not boring. Also, you can apply it to any item - from leather skirts and pants (my favs in this color), heavy winter sweaters all the way to bags and nails. I have a hat, scarf and gloves in this amazing color and have been obsessed with it since then. Maybe you will see them in a post to come. In the mean time, enjoy this collage of burgundy deliciousness. P.S. Are you fat yet? I hope you're getting there because after the holidays you will have no excuse for it.
I have went on color overdose at Zara the other day. My bank account was in severe pain. On the other hand, I felt great. But if you are a boring black and white person even THIS season, I suggested a quick fix - a crazy colored bag or shoe. It will brighten up any outfit, however gray scale it may be. All of these pretty cheap so I suggest buying five :). Well, not unless you are getting your paycheck the next day. Who needs groceries, right?
I will make this post short since I am longing for more than 6 hours of sleep tonight, even though the possibility of that seems unlikely at this point. Ugh. You know, I have a job (or three) and a life where I need to do stuff. But my addiction takes over. Gosh, saying this I feel like Dexter (who knows, knows).
While New York City is covered by large amounts of snow and my face still aches from the, not so cute, snowflakes hitting my face last night, I catch myself continuously dreaming of a paradise beach. Wearing nothing more than a bikini and some SPF, basking in the sun, is really all that I would want in this moment. Add a strawberry mojito or a strawberry caipirinha, a soft kiss from my bf, and I am in heaven.
So I have decided to lure you into my imaginative world of high temperatures and skimpy clothes with the Victoria's Secret new swim collection. I wanted to show you my favorites. I am absolutely in love with bandeau tops for about two years now, for one very specific reason - they give you the perfect tan lines making it possible to wear your favorite summer strapless dresses. Although they do make your girlfriends seem smaller, you can choose the push up bandeau top to make up for that, if you care so much.
Get lost in these new looks, ignore the cold and the snow outside, and imagine you are on your perfect little deserted island, with the most amazing tan, with no work, no cell phone, even no internet, just the sun, the water and you (and possibly a refreshing alcoholic beverage).
This adorable white ruffle cheeky bottom is on the top of my list.
It makes flat bottoms look perky, and the pop out one's very noticeable, to say the least.
Ever passed by some outrageously, gorgeously dressed girl and want to take all her clothes and make a run for it? Well I have. What?
Well in the case of Miroslava Duma, I would take her whole closet. She was the youngest fashion editor of Harpers Bazaar of Russia. I think she is just the perfect young-fashion-know-it-all. Her elegant and sporty looks are styled to perfection, and she wears some things that I wanted to, but never dared to try - like socks with sandals. If she can do it, why can't I? I mean, my sandals and socks would be about 95% cheaper, but hey, I am not a Russian fashion editor!
Take a look at her impeccable looks. The latest pictures of her were of her pregnant, and can I mention that she is the most beautifully dressed pregnant woman ever. But that's for another post, for another life phase.
Enjoy!
Monochrome suit - just amazing.This makes me want to get a real job where suits are a requirement. I wonder how would brokers look at me if I show up in an office like this.
Dare I say anything about this outfit? I just love love love it. And I don't even like camouflage.
Mmmmmmm. I will think about reopenning my headband collection.
I want my hair to grow and looks exactly like this.

Another suit I would die for.
This is my clubbing outfit.
I love her obsession with leather jackets. They really toughen up any outfit. Contrasts are key.
This is the first picture I had of her, and I wondered who is this girl. I love this photo.
Now, some juice for the men...even though they probably will never look at this. However, they have "us", the women, to make them all sparkling and new. So get going ladies, buy them some stuff, the worse they can do is say they will never wear it and then you can return it to the store with the already saved receipt.
Take some cues from the movie Alfie, who is smashingly played by Jude Law (note the use of a common British word smashing). Perfectly tailored suits, real "euro" style. I love the skinny ties, the one tone suit, tie, shirt combination, and pretty much every frame of the movie in which is Jude Law. But you know, I pay attention to the clothes (ahem, right). Alfie's life doesn't turn out that well by the end of the movie, but he sure does keep his style up.
May all men be so handsome and well dressed as in this movie. My second holiday wish.
What I really love about this winter is the fact that chunky sweaters have become all the rage. They are not the sweaters your grandmother buys you for Christmas anymore, they have become an addition to your fashion full closet. So I am glad to pile up the layers this year, because I know that it not only feels great but looks good. Here are some examples of crazy knits. Don't be afraid to belt them, play them up with some nice thicker stockings, maybe over the knee sweater socks, and add some winter shorts. The look is warm, cozy, and looks great.
The thing about fashion and me is.... it has been a growing fascination of mine. It started when I was ordering Seventeen magazine and Cosmo girl from anyone coming from the US. This is when the obsession with magazines and fashion was born. My complete mesmerization has only grown since, and I walk the streets looking at the people, not their faces as much as their clothes. The magazines in my room pile up, and I don't have the heart to throw them out, or at least until I rip out a piece of heaven from them. That right skirt, that gorgeous dress, or that perfect scarf. Here I am, to share my obsession with others. I was searching for the right first post, but there is no right... the point is to just do it.
The military green is just everywhere. The right jacket I haven't been so lucky to find, well, not the one that fits my budget that is. But these are just amazing. One is worn by Anja Rubik, a gorgeous Croatian model.
