One of my favorite color combinations is petal pink and rose gold. Petal pink is such a soft, feminine, and delicate color. Rose gold is so warming and the hint of red goes so well with pink.
I wore this outfit to a wedding on Sunday night, but I can see myself wearing it to a lot of different occasions together, or with other pieces of my wardrobe. And the best part that most of the pieces are on SALE! So here is me wearing petal pink head to toes 🙂
I love maxi dresses for the summer. Though I have to add that being 5’10 and all most of the maxi dresses only go down to my ankle. Who cares, right? A little extra leg doesn’t hurt. Pleated maxis are the easiest to wear, they don’t wrinkle and just extremely comfortable. This white number is so refreshing and easy. I can be dressed up and down in so many different ways. I love versatility in clothing, if I can imagine at least 3 outfits with the new wardrobe item, then it’s something I consider an investment.
White might not be the easiest color to keep clean (I, for sure, have no idea how to do it) but it’s the freshest and the most striking color in the summer. In today’s look I paired up white dress with black accessories for a little bit more edgier feel, but I can’t wait to pair this dress with nude, gold, and red.
Striped shirt is one of the true wardrobe staples. I believe most girls I know have some kind of variation of a striped shirt.
History fact: Stripy pattern was originally part of sailor’s uniform in France and was called Breton shirt. “Breton” stands for Brittany. A shirt displayed 21 stripes for each one of Napoleon’s victories against British.
Breton striped shirts became popular after Coco Chanel used it in her nautical line in 1917. The original collection consisted of the stripy shirt worn with flared trousers in navy and white. That combination is still very popular today.
I took a bit more romantic approach to the Breton shirt by combining it with pleated A-line full skirt in teal, statement pearl necklace, and nude pumps. Red lipstick and orange nail polish completed the look. The look is very Parisian, effortless, and very easy to wear. Do you have your favorite Breton shirt combinations?
Summer feels so GOOD! And the best color for the summer is definitely turquoise :). This color is associated with freshness, love, joy, and femininity. It’s not quite blue and not quite green. The dress I’m wearing is not a splurge but the color gives it this perfect summer vibe. Paired with brown suede sandals with a chunky heel it’s a great and easy look for either day or night.
Enjoy your summer!!!!
Pink is a new red! Every girls needs to have a perfect pink lipstick, whether it’s your lips but better pink, Barbie pink, or bright fuchsia shiny color. Below are some of my favorites:
1. Givenchy Le Rouge Couture Edition, in shade N205 – this lipstick is a work of art in its couture-inspired floral print leather case. Formula is very rich, moisturizing semi-matte. The color is a vibrant shade of fuchsia so perfect for summer. Beautiful case can be used with any other Givenchy Le Rouge lipstick.
2. Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour in shade 138 Fougueuse. The formula is hydrating and long wearing with satin finish. It’s really quite comfortable and has a variety of great shades (I own 6 colors in this formula (guilty smile)). Color is bright pink with cool undertones, not quite Barbie color, more like every day brightening shade –very much Chanel.
3. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick in shade 6-Pink in Devotion. Formula is extremely comfortable, buttery soft, and moisturizing. It has glossy finish and basically a lipstick and lip gloss in one. Color is described as bright hibiscus pink, it’s bright but very flattering pink on variety of skin tones.
4. Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy in shade 4-Succulent Pomegranate. The formula is very close to lip balm with glossy finish. Color is sheer bright pink with red undertones. It’s a great option for people who are afraid of color as its very sheet and only gives a hint of brightness.
5. Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy in shade 15-Rose Candy. Same formula as above. Color is medium sheer pink, sort of your lips but better color with a bit of youthful pinkness.
Few weeks ago I went to New York city. The city has so much energy and it really never sleeps. I don’t think I would want to live here but it’s an awesome city to visit with endless things to do. Art galleries, shopping, busy streets, people watching, great food-it really has it all.
I am a big fan of a simple look that consists of basic but exceptional quality pieces. There is something very sophisticated and elegant in the combinations of navy and cream, black and white, dark grey and light grey. The look of a white t-shirt and black blazer, trouser suit and silky ivory top, high waist black skirt and cream blouse are the combinations that work year after year and never get old.
When I see that weekend weather is windy and cold I immediately want to crawl under my blanket and sleep all day. This Sunday, however, I decided to go to my favorite breakfast place instead. This place called L’Eiffel Bistrot and Creperie has the most delicious crepes and coffee. It’s as cozy as can get with french influenced art work, great music, and authentic french cuisine. Every time I eat there it sets the mood for the entire day. My Sunday outfit was a very simple combination of navy, beige, and polka dots.
Diane von Furstenberg has been an iconic face in fashion for a few decades. She has a phenomenal story and I really enjoyed reading her book “The Woman I Wanted to Be”. Her story is very inspiring while warm and honest at the same time. One of her famous quotes is sure my favorite “The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.” Isn’t it true?
DVF may be famous for her wrap dresses, but her silk shirt dresses are the most versatile and effortless wardrobe pieces. It’s stylish in its simplicity and gives lots of options for accessorizing. As soon as I tried this dress on, I fell in love! I already wore it on few occasions combining it with a variety of shoes and jackets.
My look below is more casual and works for every day. DVF silk shirtdress combined with red crossbody flap bag, neon coral peep toe pumps, and D&G aviator sunglasses.
One of my favorite modern actresses/models, Olivia Palermo, always looks amazing on and off the red carpet. Her style is fresh and effortless and never boring. What I find amazing about her daily looks is that all of them are adaptable to everyday life, can be easily recreated with both designer or mass market pieces, and always an inspiration.
