For the past few months I have been really on and off with my posting schedule, as you might have noticed, but I've been really active on my socials and I am pleased to inform that we are almost at 400K social fans across all my networks. It's a big achievement for me and I am very grateful for your support. Even though I haven't been posting here much, you still stayed with me and I am very grateful for it! Your comments always make my day and your support on socials in unbelievable! THANK YOU so much! I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally! Every once in a while I put together a little box of gifts for my most active readers and supporters and February is going to be another month of little thank-you gifting :) Thanks for being with me and following along my journey.

I am in the process of figuring out what direction I want to take with my blog, so the posts are infrequent but I still try to stick to the highest quality possible. Please follow along via email (subscription box on the right) so that you can never miss my new posts.

As for today's look, I just found these photos that I shot back at the very beginning of the month and forgot to share with you guys. Sometimes when it's cold (I mean "LA" cold) all I need is a total black look and my warm and stylish Marants :)

Today is the first working day after the holiday madness! Honestly, I am excited to get back to work and see what the new year is going to bring. I hope you all had a great holiday season!

This is the look I wore for New Year's eve. It's one of the hardest looks I have ever put together. I couldn't find anything I like until late at night of December 30th. But then luckily I found this skirt from French Connection at my local Bloomingdales. The top from BCBGeneration was grabbed at the very last moment when they were announcing that the store is closed. Accessorizing was easy. I used every opportunity to wear my new boots from Isabel Marant that I got for my birthday in the past few weeks and New Year's was not an exception :) As for the clutch, I went with this sick Saint Laurent clutch with studs - it goes with every single look!

And what did you wear for New Year's?

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.
