Refresh Your Fall Wardrobe With Golden Tote

My style is changing as often as the weather and I am always looking to try something new. But occasionally I get stuck and run out of ideas on what I want to try or where I should shop. Not to mention that it's all incredibly time consuming. I am sure I am not alone in this, right ladies? ;) 
Recently though I discovered a new service that could be a great solution for all of us. It's called Golden Tote, and it's basically a program where you purchase a surprise tote full of clothing ($49 for 2 items or $149 for 5-6 items) and you only choose 1-2 items in that tote. As for the rest, it's picked out by Golden Tote's stylists based on your style profile. So you actually get a surprise bag with amazing stuff for a steal! I was excited and a bit scared when I placed my order for a large tote, but ended up overjoyed when I got a whole new wardrobe in the mail :) I created 4 different fall looks with the items and honestly, I can't decide which look I like the most. By the way, since the return policy is all or nothing, girls are also trading pieces they don't like in their tote on "Golden Tote Trading Group" Facebook page.
Golden Tote launches new sales on the first Monday of each month, so go check them out ASAP before this month's items sell out! And here are the looks I created with mine ;)
I love early fall fashion. There is something elegant and romantic about it. This velvet midi skirt that came in my tote, paired with lace crop top and a foulard helped me create just that type of mood.

The Duchess

You guys know how much I am obsessing with remarkable dresses that make me feel like royalty. Here is another stunning piece of art from the very talented Silvia Bours. I literally had people stop and stare at me while shooting these photos and when we were done, they'd come closer to see all the details. And those details are definitely something to talk about! The beautiful neck is embroidered with Swarovski crystals, pearls and fabric flowers - it looks even more magical in real life. But most importantly, the feeling you have while wearing it, is incredible - you truly become royalty, even for just one night. Enjoy!

Florals and Pastels for Spring

I am so excited to rock spring fashion these days and one of the recent looks that I am obsessing with is again from Lulu's. The outfit gives out flirty spring vibes with very cute pastel floral romper and sexy nude mesh heels. Not only will I wear it in spring, but I'll definitely be moving it into my summer wardrobe as well ;)

Romper Time

Spring is in full swing and that means it's officially romper time :) The one I am obsessing with at the moment is the neon peach romper from The Mint Julep Boutique. It's perfect for a casual stroll or a dressy night out. Accessorized with lace details to complement the look and added a backpack for a casual touch ;) Happy Monday!

Festival Lookbook


This post is promoted by Target
Whether you are headed to Coachella or just jamming to tunes on a walk to class, boho looks are all the rave. Festival fashion doesn't only happen at festivals, it's everywhere as long as it's festival season ;) I have partnered with Target to create three looks inspired by three different music genres. They are incredibly affordable at Target and I think all of them would be great for any festival you are planning to attend. 
So the first look showcases essential elements of any festival: a denim vest, a fedora hat and a pair of comfortable booties. This hippie-chic look is a great idea for a rock night.

All White in Maserati Ghibli

I am happy to finally officially introduce a new section on my blog! In this series I'll be pairing cars with fashion. Since my audience is so diverse, I am sure guys will enjoy the car element of the posts and ladies, well, I think you'll enjoy both the outfits and the cars. It's no secret that #girlslovecoolcars :)
The first in the series (after my own car that you can see here) is the new Maserati Ghibli. I decided to showcase this particular car, because it is the absolute opposite of ordinary. It combines style, elegance and technological innovation in one vehicle - a bit too much to process, but you will get used to this luxury pretty quickly, I promise. 
I had a chance to drive the car myself thanks to Maserati of Newport Beach and was stunned by the effortless driving experience. It feels like you are floating in the air. The engine (never thought I'd care!) makes enough noise to enjoy it but not get distracted by it. The Maserati Ghibli's unique personality is also expressed in its luxurious cabin. Beautiful red and black leather seats create a unique fusion of elegance and sport - a perfect extension of one's character.
As for the outfit, I wore the all white jumper with my favorite luxury accessories. Leonardo da Vinci said that "simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication" and I couldn't agree more - clean white jumper paired well with simple black accessories from luxury brands, and formed a perfect union with the car, that makes an immediate statement of style, sophistication and effortless power.

Dolce Gabbana

Happy Monday, dear friends! Today's look is all about accessories and details. I am mixing lace back with studs and golden embellishments. As for accessories - it's Dolce Gabbana all the way =) Loving my new bag - it's a perfect pop of color for any look.

Work it Out, TargetStyle


We have all been in situations where we have to put together a last minute look. Whether you are going to an event straight from work or your outfit got ruined on your way there, there is always that moment full of pressure and disappointment. Target asked me to show you that it doesn't have to be that way. It's actually quite the opposite - it's fun and creative! :) I stopped by my local Target and was able to put together this chic and classy look in as little as 10 minutes! And some of the items were not only discounted but on clearance! I literally got a whole new look well under $100! I am guessing you already can't wait for that "stressful" situation to happen - another excuse to go shopping on a budget :)

Gloomy Days

Hey, dear friends! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving celebration! It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner now and we are already in December! The last few days it's been raining non-stop here in LA, but it feels like we (LA people) sort of deserve this, because we enjoy the sun all year long :)
On a side note, I wrote another article for Loehmann's blog "Style Vault". This time I am talking about Black and White do's and don'ts and give you multiple tips on rocking monochromatic look in style. Check it out HERE.

Daring Fall

I am obsessing with this coat for fall and can't wait to wear it on top of my layers, but for now I styled it as a single piece of the outfit - quite daring, right? ;) Kipling bag from the new Always On Collection was the perfect and only accessory to compete my look. Love how lightweight it feels and how versatile it is - I can style it up or down from day to night, from weekdays to weekends. It's a perfect bag for a girl on the go like me, and I am sure everyone of you! Happy Monday!

On the streets of New York..

While back in New York I had a chance to collaborate with the incredible photographer Jamie Mann on a few street style photos. I absolutely love his work and was super excited and even a little nervous for this shoot. Jamie utilizes the lighting, the perspective, the time of the day, the location and the outfit itself so skillfully that you don't even notice how much hard work and experience goes into what seems like an effortless snap of the camera. He is a true professional and a breeze to work with. The results speak for themselves!
You might have already recognized my favorite Edward Roth jacket (yes, I wore the same jacket in two different colors, pink one here). Love how the boots and the jacket match in color and designer  accessories complete this luxury look - true elegance with a futuristic note.

Make your Denim Shirt Look Chic at #NYFW

When I was buying these boots back in January, I already imagined myself wearing them to fashion week :) But when the time came I got a little stuck. It's easy to wear them with a one tone dress, but how could I make my look original without looking like a clown? :) It took a little bit of planning and thinking but finally I came up with this denim and white combination and obviously had to add some extravagant eye-catching accessories like Versace jeweled cat-eye sunglasses and Ted Baker Moti Clutch with mohican detail, which I have been lusting over for about a year! By the way, notice how I buttoned up my denim shirt and lifted up the collars for an extra touch of chic. I still have a bunch of looks to share with you guys, so stay tuned for more NYC fashion ;)

Day 3 of #NYFW : Sequins and Mirrors

My day 3 of New York Fashion Week was very hectic with lots of shows and events. Even though the weather turned out to be very hot, I still didn't regret wearing the sequin Ted Baker blazer, because it's so cool and eye-catching, and most importantly, it was a perfect item to complete my look.

New York Fashion Week Day 1

Wow! What a day it has been! Since early morning till late evening I was running around town attending shows and parties! And all of that on 7 hours of sleep in 2 days - pretty brutal! I'd like to  believe that the first day is always the busiest (based on my last year's experience), but I feel like they might all be busy this time around... So I won't sleep more than 5 hours any time soon. I guess that's part of the job, so I'll still take it =) I am trying to keep you updated on everything I do in this fashion week on my Twitter and Instagram. TWITTER is definitely more detailed though, because I don't want to overload my Insta with 20 photos a day. Thank you for being so engaging there! Love to interact with you guys!
Now, let's talk about my look before I tell you all about the shows I attended. Started fashion week with a chic and glam look with classy sweat pants from Sandro and a ruffle crop top from ASOS. Accessorized with a body chain from ASOS, awesome sunnies from Versace and my new booties from Dolce Gabbana! I already know that it's probably my favorite look of the whole upcoming week. I loved every single detail and apparently street style photographers did too =)

Bandage Dress and Pearls

This is my first bandage dress and I must say, I love it! It fits the body like a glove and accents its natural shape and curves! Accessorized with pearls - they add elegance to virtually any look. My favorite accessory at the moment is my new pearl necklace from The Pearl Source - a website that has the biggest variety of stunning pearl pieces.

Pink, Grey and Polka Dot

Scalloped shorts are back in the game this spring and I couldn't be happier. Last year I embraced the trend fully (as seen here and here) and I still think that scallop edges are very feminine which fits my style perfectly. I am not a big fan of pink color, but this top from Lulu's has such a beautiful and rich shade that I just couldn't resist it. Added polka dots to continue with the feminine theme and finished with a grey blazer and matchy scarf. Happy Friday!
