Hey beauties! I’ve had a “different” week, with fever, cold, much tea and sauna. This flu was so unexpected since I didn’t get cold not even once in the last few years. But here I am now, back to work, back to my passions and full of new trends informations! In all this time spent in bed, I have done research on this new post! Because I keep it relevant and I want you to get the best inspiration for the year ahead!

Every new year comes with new trends and this year’s are going to be awesome! I always get nostalgic when things are changing, but it doesn’t affect me long time because I like new beginnings, new years, new trends, new possibilities, everything new. New times gives us the opportunity to leave something behind and place a new order upon our lives. For some, trends and fashion are superficial, but I believe they define us. You don’t need to trash your garderobe, paint your hair in pink or blue because the trend says so, but I believe in staying updated. I follow my own rules in both fashion, life and business, but I still get inspired by others that are specialized in their field of work.

Enough with the talking 🙂 Let’s see what 2015 has to offer!

New Trends in Fashion

Retro Look – 70’s are back

Besides the well known Scandinavian minimalistic style, this season will be marked by the comeback of retro style. Flower power, playful prints, strong colors, are all back in trend. I’m not much of a fan, but some pieces can actually be wore in cool ways. For a classic retrolook, combine blue shades with cognac and camel.

Flared, Oversized Jeans and Bell Bottoms!

This is absolutely my favorite from all the new trends! I am so excited about this!

Since the 70’s are back, the iconic piece of the era makes a comeback! Goodbye skinny, hello flared jeans!! Ever since last year, skinny started to lose it’s popularity, being replaced by the so called Boyfriend jeans, which are still HOT! Bell Bottom pants and jeans were so much loved by the 70’s diva’s. Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin made history in them! Flared jeans are pampering the silhouette, and create the illusion of long legs, which is why I adore them!

Converse & Other Training Shoes

Sneakers are still HOT and useful, of course, but this year is time for you to go out of your comfort zone and try other models than the trendy Isabel Marant wedges. Don’t get me wrong, they are still on, but trend setters in the nordic countries are more into the training shoes. The new Nike Air Max is one of the hot models right now. Converse is pulling a success ever since I moved to Sweden. Scandinavians love it, not only for it’s functionality but also for it’s accessibility.

Color of The Year

According to Pantone, color of the year is Marsala! I love this color, it is so powerful, passionate and elegant. And I love wine! 🙂 If you want to know how to accessorize this color check the post I wrote about Olivia Palermo in Paris Fashion Week.

The Small White Bag 

Small bags are IN. One of 2015’s spring favorite is the small white bag.

New Trends in Home decoration

If you are planning a new home decoration this year, go for Copper Orange. This means you’ll be able to have a glamorous and elegant home this year! As in fashion, the 70’s are back, so you get to decorate your dressing room as the outfits inside! Since deco art is always in trend with fashion, marsala is a good choice for giving your home a warm, luxury and passionate look! Try combining Marsala with Copper Orange details as I made in this picture.

For a while, I noticed a new appearance on the lighting market that blowed my mind! It’s totally insane since it’s just a simple…BULB! These pieces are very trendy in Scandinavia and if the trend didn’t arrive to your country, then this year will sure be in highlight! According to a friend of mine, Terese, swedish interior designer, illuminated letter signs are getting more attention, so if you want to send a message to your guests visiting, now it would be the moment! They are so chic and artsy, just loved them! I hope I’m going to get the chance to redecorate this spring! I would love having one of these lights over the bed!

Other new trends in Lifestyle & Beauty

Eat, Train and Stay Mentally Healthy

You have it on your resolution list, don’t you? If you haven’t started already, then now you are forced too. The hottest thing is to take care of you, look healthy, stay young and fresh! No matter which brands or clothes you wear, if your body is tired, you’ll never feel comfortable with yourself. Start your year with a juice detox, make a gym card, start drinking green smoothies for breakfast, replace goodies with fruits, walk more, drive less, eat less out and learn to cook your favorite dishes. We are humans and we make mistakes, we can’t control maybe everything we eat, but try to keep a healthy lifestyle as much as possible.

Stay Natural

In beauty, I mean. Even though this is not new, throw away hair extensions! Believe me when I tell you that it can be seen it is not your hair, it doesn’t help you at all, is not sexy, nor elegant and it doesn’t make you beautiful. You know what’s chic? A haircut! If your hair is short and probably destroyed from the hair extensions, now is the perfect time for you to get a cool, fashionable shoulder or masculine haircut.

No more “drew with line” eyebrows, let them grow naturally and just clean them up.

In both cases you can use oil masks for a faster growth. Ricin oil is the best hair growth activator oil that I’ve ever used and it really gives long term great results! It helped me really much!

The most fashionable thing in 2015 is self confident, independent, happy women. So if you’re not there yet, it’s time for you to work on that.

I will be pleased to show more of my findings during the year, these being just few of the highlights.

I think my favorite of all is the Flared Jeans. Due to my mignon silhouette, these jeans make me look tall and fit. And the best of all is that you can wear them in so many ways, in different occasions: work, party, business meetings, dinner or casual. I’ll show you how in a different material, soon!

Press play on the song first 🙂

First snow this year.. What a beautiful view on my window, but still…I don’t get the mood to go out of the house. I rather stay all day in bed, listen music and start reading the book I got from my friend Raluca, The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Safak. And share this with you.. This song made my day! It express so much erotism and passion, it’s a mix between lounge and erotic music.. Just play it, close your eyes and relax… “Can I go with you?”

Have an awesome Sunday!!

Love,

Few weeks ago, when I was on my way out for a nice dinner in Jönköping, my boyfriend and I got a last minute invitation to a local event where the swedish singer Paulina Starborn was going to have a concert for the night.

So after our delicious dinner, we attended to the event for an hour, and then we finished our evening in the hotel’s Spa, where the singer and her team were accommodated by the event’s organizers. I love having a good spa time and to be honest, it was the first time for me to be in a spa in the nighttime. But that was a great experience, since the place was closed and open only for the star and her team, so it was quiet and private with no other people around. I can say I’ve had VIP treatment haha!

A few pictures from the event, taken by the talented Armand Dommer.

2015 dreams, a new beginning, help more, neat year resolutions, new year, new year wishes, plans in 2015, spend less invest more

Hi everyone!! This is the first post of 2015! How exciting!!

First of all, I want to say that I hope 2015 will be YOUR YEAR, that all your plans and resolutions will be successful, that even the most naughty dreams you have will come true and mostly, that you will find the happiness you’re looking for! And love…lots of love!! Kisses, embraces, touches, passions, dreams, warm emotions, laughs, tears of happiness, excitement, surprises, these are the feelings I want you to go through this year!

 It’s time for a new beginning!

Thank you for being part of my 2014! I promise 2015 will be full of surprises! The last couple of days I worked in planning new projects, but two of them are concrete already and soon I will be able to let you know about one of them, which is sooo exciting!! Beside this, I have few more things going on for the blog, that will happen during this year! It’s all about time! 🙂 Stay tuned!

I also decided that this year will be a year of changes, inside and outside myself! So you will probably see a dramatic change of hair one of these days! 😛 I made a huge list of resolutions and I’m very determined to respect it and to follow up each one of them! One of the most important is that I want to help more! No matter in which context. Also, I am determined to spend less, invest more! Maybe it’s the age, or the experience, or I suppose maturity.. I understand better the value of money invested smart, than wasted. It is going to be a hard one, but I must make smart shopping in order to make successful business.

Another promise I made to myself is that I will visit my friends as soon as I can during the year. In all the corners of the world! Friends are like family, you must always cherish and nourish them, feed them with your love and attention, praise them for their beautiful homes and wise decisions, and since I moved in Sweden, I feel that my friend duties were disregarded. So I must take action and show my friends I’m still here for them. 

Ok now I’ll stop and maybe I will share other resolutions later during the year 🙂 In the meantime, check out my 2014 accomplishments on my Facebook page !

I am so curious in hearing at least two of your resolutions!
