Feminine Chic

I wore this skirt on severals occasions recently and each time the outfit came out very feminine. This look is the most sophisticated of all: the lace top, the bow on the belt and pastel pink heels add up to the whole "princess"-feel of the skirt.

Brigitte Love

On a  gloomy sunday I wore my Isabel Marant sneakers with new clothing that I bought in Europe. I chose to complete the look with my Celine bag - I know, it's so typical, but I don't care :)

Picked up this top with lace back in a small boutique in Nice and styled it with this flirty red leather skirt from Lovers and Friends.

Classic Look with Toni and Guy

Most of you already know that I was shooting a little fun project with Toni&Guy last weekend. They came up with a cool hair styling line and called it Hair Meet Wardrobe. The idea behind Hair Meet Wardrobe hair care and styling products is that hair is the best accessory to complete your look. 
We are used to think that for accessorizing our clothes we need a good choice of shoes, jewelry and make up, and a lot of times we forget about our hair. Toni&Guy created the best solution for a quick hair fix depending on your style. The came up with 3 fashion inspired different hair styling product collections, which will be available on the shelves of Walgreens in February and are already available online. The collection pretty much covers every style possible - Classic, Casual and Glamour. They chose me to represent the classic girl, who is polished but not prudish. 
I came up with a classic look in nautical style, which is going to be very trendy this spring. Here is a little sneak peak of the look which I'll share with you when the video comes out. This is my second day hair so they are not that curly as they were once styled. To be honest, I like both ways equally.

Floral Slip Dress and Over The Knee Boots

I wasn't sure I could pull off a slip dress without looking like I just stepped out of my bedroom. It wasn't until I found this perfect dress from ASOS. Even though it does have a lot of lingerie elements, it is still sexy and classy at the same time - just up my alley =) Added this long nude blazer from and Oasis and completed the look with tall over the knee boots from Stuart Weitzman.

My European Adventure

Being a blogger I did a very uncommon thing on my trip across Europe: I never took a single outfit post. There are two reasons for that. First, it was a vacation and I wanted to take some time off my blogging and second, it was so cold that I couldn't wear anything other than a thick puffer coat over the sweater and my Prada boots, which happened to be the warmest boots out of all I got =) 
I still snapped some photos to share with you guys since I visited so many beautiful places in such a short period of time. The photos don't do it justice, but the atmosphere in all these places is magical and the fact that my loved ones were with me made it so that I will cherish those memories forever. I learned that it doesn't really matter where you are as long as you have the people you love next to you. I was equally happy on top of the Eiffel Tower as on a five hour train across France. And in light of hopefully the hardest year behind me and my family, I learned that the key to happiness is having a supportive loving and most importantly healthy family.
I wish I could convey the hectic life of Milan during sales period, the exquisite beauty of the romantic Venice, where every single stone could tell you centuries worth of beautiful stories, the most picturesque and relaxing sunsets in South of France and the historical, elegant and one of the prettiest cities in the world - PARIS!

Pastel Pink

I am not a big fan of pink, however, if styled properly, it can look elegant and chic. Obsessed with these ASOS Peg Pants - they are comfortable to wear and so easy to style!

Back in LA

I am finally back in LA and my European vacation is over. You can see the highlights of it on my Instagram. It's always nice to get away from the place you live in: it helps put things in a different perspective, appreciate what you have and reevaluate your goals. It also definitely broadens your mind and simply helps you grow. I am excited to start the new working year with lots of exciting projects and events.

Warm and Chic

I apologize for the lack of posts recently. If you have been following me on Instagram you might know that I am in Europe at the moment. I am spending quality time with my family, whom unfortunately I get to see only once or twice a year. This is the outfit I wore several days ago in LA. I am obsessed with the faux fur vest from ASOS - it makes the outfit with a simple dress look so chic.
