LFW AW16 Day 3

Image
Finally, here is the look I wore on the 3rd day of LFW, ready for the last shows I decided to attend.  To achieve that smart twist, I've paired a black blazer with the undisputed piece of the season - a slip dress.  I chose one with a wisp of lace, to give a touch of luxe simplicity and  a pair of leather boots to complete the effortless look. Hope you're all having a wonderful start of spring! xx Escada blazer (similar  here  and here ) // Asos slip dress in Navy (you can find a very similar model  here ) Zara red belt //  Garkony black leather  boots  //  L'Oreal lipstick in  Pure Red   Hair & Makeup:  L'Oreal Paris Studio Pro

LFW AW16 Day 2

It's been a while... and I know I'm very late with my fashion week posts..  I decided to take some time off, to think, to breathe, to live, to disconnect.  Have you ever felt like you don't know what's going on anymore, like you are confused about the tiniest aspect of your life...? That's simply how I felt and a break was what I needed.  London seems so chaotic lately; and I don't think it's just London, but the whole world. It is all about west and east, dawn to midnight, walking horizontally and taking life pauses vertically. Drinking tea in hotel salons and never noticing the roses or the clouds chasing one another in small shivers... So here I am during Day 2 of LFW, wearing a white silk blazer, navy coat and a blouse which I’ve paired with accessories in crimson hues. The beauty of red is that there are many interpretations and tones. Those beautiful dresses and feisty red lips, as seen on the big screen, cemented the colour's plac...

Christmas Gift Guide

Cashmere, cinnamon, the smell of freshly baked cookies. I love December.. so cosy and fragrant. I go back to childhood and relive the ritual of decorating the Christmas tree with my mom, while grandma was making gingerbread and my dad building snowmen. I always get excited at the thought of arranging the table, decorating the house and buying presents. And what else would anyone need for a perfect Christmas, other than your family and a lovely setting. So here it is, a fabulous gift guide, along with other pretty ideas which I hope you will enjoy at least as much as I did while preparing it. xx Shop the gift guide:  Elie Beaumont watch Fever Collection body Clara Olivia  bra (15% off with code PIXIE15) Diesel sunglasses from TK MAXX Snake bracelet from here Essie nail polish in a cut above Lancôme La vie est belle  perfume & body lotion The Body Shop bronzing powder The Body Shop shimmering dry oil Chansons pour elle et a...

In the Mood for Red

Image
This fall season has been both pretty unpredictable and surprisingly mild! A mild fall and now a mild winter (although I am sure it won't be so for much longer) means more exploring of the city, and that's always the most delightful thing. And being able to sit down outside during this time of the year is undeniably wonderful. Maybe I'll slow down as I run my errands just to enjoy the refreshing chill that I don't need to hide from. My steps far slower than usual so that I can notice the tiny garden hidden on the corner. A secret hideaway of sorts where the noise from the streets seemed muffled by its quiet beauty. No jacket required. No worries required. Just shades of red from my accessories and chestnut-colored leaves.

#LFW Day 1

*** For the first few days of London Fashion Week, the weather was simply incredible! I was ecstatic to be able to wear only a vest and not feel cold, so for day 1 I decided to opt for a more ‘rocker-chic’ look, edgy yet feminine – and I ended up loving it so much!  We had a great day as usual and I got to see one of my favourite shows of the season, Pam Hogg's, as well as Ashley Isham's. *** *** This fun-filled, whimsical collection with strong elements of summer made you forget the impending winter. Ashley Isham transported us to a beach filled with flowing fabrics. The search for authentic emotion, dreaming of the next warm-weather getaway led to an artisanal collection with a rich history in the bright pink and red hues, slightly faded in parts, surplus of textures like souvenirs from a summer holiday.  The glamorous, diaphanous weightlessness of dusk, crisp white, azure tulle with hand knotted rope felt romantic with a beachy 'joie de viv...

LFW Day 2

*** February was a crazy month, a whirlwind to be honest but Fashion Week season is always such a burst of inspiration and creativity when it comes to styling. For the second day I decided to put together some of my favorite clothing items and create a modern day Geisha inspired look.  This time I attended three shows (Jasper Conran, Pavane and Zeynep Kartal) at relatively small difference of time from one another and of course, they had to be in completely different locations! Imagine me, wearing stilettos and a kimono, running in and out of the car every 30 minutes.. haha. So here's a look at how second day of fashion week went. Busier indeed, but definitely fun! *** *** A designer who’s captivated audiences with his creations for almost 30 years, this season Jasper Conran led us in to an autumnal woodland. Crispy leaves in bottle green and golden brown lay scattered on the catwalk, hinting at the colour schemes we’d soon see paraded up...
