Accessories First


This post is sponsored by Target
Most of the time when we style our look we add accessories at the very end, to complete the outfit. But this time around, Target is challenging all of us to make accessories a priority and start styling our looks with them to spice up an outfit by inspiring unlikely twists in your style - especially with winter accessories which are decked out in sparkles, shine, metallics or fur. ;) 
I was challenged to create two looks inspired by my favorite accessory from Target's Wonderlist (search "Wonderlist" on Target.com). I chose the fluffy and very cozy faux fur scarf, which is perfect for winter, and came up with two looks
For the first look, I thought it would be great to have a tight turtleneck sweater underneath the scarf to draw all the attention to the scarf. For the second one, I added a winter dress with leggings and booties for a little more casual feel. Both looks are styled with gray colors, which I think is a great color combo with white.
So make dressing a little more fun and glamorous this season by starting a look with your favorite scarf, fur, clutch, bag, hat or mittens. ;) Let me know if you already have something in mind. And by the way, Target offers FREE standard SHIPPING (3-5 business days) and returns on ALL orders from now through December 25.

Party Perfect with Lulus

Holiday season is right around the corner and this means - party season! I love an all-black glam look for a party, especially if it's as sexy as this jumpsuit! :) I found it at my favorite Lulus.com, which also carries a million options of cute and glam holiday dresses and I am already eyeing a few. What are your favorite pieces for the holiday party season?

Christmas in Canada - Breathtaking Views

Happy Holidays, my friends! Hope you had a beautiful Christmas! If you follow me on social networks you already know that I spent my Christmas in Vancouver. I fell in love with the city's beautiful landscape, perfect winter weather (it's cold enough to wear hats and scarves, but still sunny and dry) and what seemed to be the most festive Christmas atmosphere. Seriously, I met a few Santa Clauses who approached me first (!) and were more than happy to chat and take photos with me. And I am still obsessed with a perfectly decorated Christmas tree in every single building. 
As for fashion, I tried not to pack too much, so I ended up wearing the same accessories (boots, a bag and a hat) in 2 completely different looks over the past 2 days. Check out both outfits below and let me know which one you like more ;)

Pushing the Boundaries

So today I am rocking a look that is not my typical style, but definitely eye-catching ;) I usually stay away from giant heels, but, when they are super affordable, why not try it? I found these boots and a faux fur coat on Vinted - an awesome platform for buying or swapping clothes. It's amazing, I bought them in new condition for a very small price and I could, if I wanted to, even swap them for something I don't wear and want to get rid of. It's definitely fun and super easy!
And you know what's the coolest part? Vinted decided to give $10 store credit when you sign up HERE using the code DIANA! You can totally find one or even two items there with only $10, so you could be having a new item shipped to your house right about now! :) A giveaway where everybody wins - my favorite type =) Enjoy!

The Perfect Winter Jacket

Happy November, my dear friends! Winter is around the corner and in most places it's already chilly. Even LA cooled down significantly and brought us cold rain on Halloween night. Anyway, I am excited! Finally all the coats and jackets can get out of my closet and fall-winter fashion officially kicks off for me too! 
A new treasure, that I found in winter jackets category, is this super awesome brand Snowman New York. Honestly, I couldn't choose one jacket, because all of them are so cool! The one that I am wearing here, is so lightweight and thin, yet warm and comfy! Faux fur details (huge fan of everything faux fur, as you might have noticed!) and a standing collar add so much chic to the jacket. I can also detach my sleeves and open my collar for warmer days - perfect for any occasion and weather! As for accessories, I added some white to make the jacket stand out even more.
An exciting trip is coming up for me in November. Stay tuned and you can already start guessing ;)

Gold Details and Fur

My favorite combination of colors is black and white, but when you add just a little bit of gold details and some fur, the look becomes super chic. The gold details I chose are my new hand chain from Leuer with a matching necklace. I love the fact that the accessories are thin enough, which adds an extra touch of sophistication. 
And obviously fur - another material that is so elegant and classy. You won't believe it, but my faux fur cover-up is not actually a cover-up, it's a scarf! I purchased this scarf about 2 years ago when Anna Karenina collection from Banana Republic just came out. This is how I wore it: I wrapped the faux fur (middle) part around my shoulders and wrapped the remaining long ends of the scarf around my waist which resulted in a thick belt that I fixed with my gold bracelet. Completed the look with my thigh-high boots from Target and mohican clutch from Ted Baker.

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.
