Whoops, she did it again! Yesterday in Paris Fashion Week, the Nina Ricci show, Olivia Palermo did one of her magic tricks in wearing such a strong colour as bordeaux, from head to toe! As extreme as it would sound, she actually wears it delicate and with grace by adding the simplicity of the nude stilettos and a python coloured clutch.  Get the look on my polyvore!

Weekend in Gothenburg

Heyy darlings! I had a great weekend in Gothenburg, even if I came back with a huge cold. 🙁 My week started with 2 liters of hot lemon & ginger tea instead of coffee. Anyway, the day spent in Gothenburg it was worth a cold. I had a great time in Magasinsgatan area, where there are a few cute and cozy vintage shops. I like vintage articles. I always imagine there is a story behind every single piece. Probably that’s also the reason I can`t say goodbye to old clothes that I will probably never wear again. I get bored fast by my clothes, but anyway I can’t give them away. Same with accessories, shoes, bags, magazines and books. One of these days, I`ll probably need to clean up and divorce them.

In all that storytelling environment in the vintage shops, I found something that really blew my mind. Between the John Lenon style glasses, leather cases, flower-power times ponchos and hippie era accessories, I found an amazing writing machine which was so stylish and lovable. A perfect decorative item for my home office. Of course, only for decoration, since I cannot actually write contracts for my clients or blog with it. 🙂

My heart broke when the seller told me that the item is decorative for them as well, not for sale. So, I left the shop empty-handed. At least, this time.

Later, we had lunch in Da Matteo, a very cozy coffee shop in the middle of Magasinsgatan, with a really nice garden facing the sun where you can enjoy probably the best latte in Gothenburg.

It`s rare you have such a nice weather in Sweden during September, so we took advantage of that and walked all day long. I passed even The Garden Society of Gothenburg (Trädsgårdsföreningen), which is one of the best-preserved 19th century parks in Europe and is spectacular! It is, in my opinion, a must see in Gothenburg, mostly in the beginning of autumn when you have the privilege of walking on the carpet of golden and copper-colored leaves.

Don`t forget: If you are traveling to Gothenburg, I would be happy to answer your questions regarding places or activities over there.

Not that I complain, but it feels like the summer was longer this year.. Today when I woke up, I looked at the window and realised that the nature starts to change it`s colours.. I even felt the smell of the falling leaves.. How weird does that sound? 🙂

I`m only sure of one thing… Autumn comes and I still didn`t redecorate. I was looking the last weeks over the web for things that can give a new fall image to my apartment. At least a corner of it. So after i`ve looked over a million of fabulous decoration articles, Continue reading →

This fall is about…animal print accessories!

I can`t be more happy than this!! I always loved animal print accessories, and of course, the Dolce & Gabbana classical print! But not always it is used in the proper way. When wearing animal print accessories you have to keep in mind one thing: too much can be cheap, not chic! To get you started for this fall, you MUST have in your garderobe at lest one pair of animal print shoes (I prefer stilettos) and one bag with the same type of print. My favourite outfit for these type of pieces is smart casual, usually simple pieces so that the glamour will be into the shoes!

The best accessory to wear with this outfits it`s nothing more than a golden well manufactured watch, since the print makes all the glamour! So go ahead and dare! Print is fashion, animal print is sexy fashion…

 

This fall is about...animal print accesories!

Good morning precious!

Ohhh I love Sundays!!! Not only for the freedom of laying all day in the fluffy bed, but for the huge, delicious breakfasts that I get to do to surprise my beloved man in bed with. Usually in Sundays I wake up around 09:00, I run fast to the bathroom, I fix my face little bit (VERY IMPORTANT THING TO DO!!!) I prepare a gigantic meal with warm coffee, fresh pressed juice and whatever we have in the fridge transformed in a plate beauty contest, and I jump back in bed, this time draging the food after me.
My boyfriend`s face is always the same, surprised! Like he didn`t actually get used to this the last years. He probably knows his acting would keep me motivated forever. 🙂 Well, well..

Today I chosed to make things differently. Thanks to the amazing wheater in Sweden these days, our terrace is full of light and warm, the sun is shining directly upon my cute tomatoes in pots, so we decided to serve breakfast there.

Fruits & yogurt made of oat with chiaseed -best protein- , flaxseed and cranberries. Healthy & delicious!

The story of a successful beginning – Gabrielle Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld

Even if the short movie was filmed in 2013, I believe it will never get old for me, I watched it over and over again not only for the fabulous story of Coco Chanel directed by Karl, but for the amazing actor, sweet woman, expressive face and character named Keira Knightley. We all know that she is the face of Chanel Mademoiselle fragrance and a Chanel Ambassador. I loved her performance in this film, but I have to admit that Audrey Tatou was fitting the role better in Coco avant Chanel movie from 2009. Of course, it must be very hard to play the character of such a incredible woman, one of the most inspirational faces of the fashion industry and of the world of women. Who do you see in the role of Coco Chanel?

Please enjoy the movie with a glass of red wine and remember: A girl should be two things: Classy & Fabulous – Coco Chanel

The fashion piece that caught my attention recently is the monogrammed Burberry poncho. It`s precious, glamourous and still easy to adapt to many outfits!
The piece is part of the autumn/winter 2014 collection and it is absolutely fabulous! Moreover, Burberry introduces now in september a new personalization service, which will allow us (the mortals) to add up to 3 letters or initials on the fresh newly cosy ponchos. I can´t wait to order mine! The service will be available for the collection of heritage scarves aswell. Continue reading →
