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!

Siciliana

There is something of a true lady in classic Sicilian style dresses and today I surely felt like one in this absolutely beautiful elegant and feminine dress from Karen Millen. Happy August!

Remembering Cannes

This is one of the looks I wore for a casual yet stylish walk in Cannes last month - a simple dress from For Love and Lemons (that literally goes with anything!) and comfy flats with my fave Proenza

Vive la France (Bastille Day)

I didn't even realize until now that today I wore an outfit which is so appropriate for the Bastille Day. It was blue, white and red! I styled a simple white dress (perfect for summer) with sneakers this time. Yes, I've been wearing so much more flats these days as you can see in my previous posts. I am a huge comfort lover, so heels are not an option for long summer walks. Besides, there is nothing uglier than a well dressed girl who can't walk in heels (and trust me, these are probably 80% of all girls wearing heels).
But enough of this. Heels are important, but flats are just a must. I've been expanding my fashion sneakers collection recently and these ones from Twins for Peace are my absolute favorites! They are a) from PARIS; b) made from silk with satin shoe laces and c) just so comfy and adorable! Shall I say more? :)
And lastly, a final touch was my new super trendy Daniel Wellington watch. They are perfect with any look (especially if you are going for preppy or casual cool) AND great for both guys and girls! See for yourselves ;) By the way, you can get a 15% discount on their site using the code labydiana at checkout!

Velvet in Milan

On my one day stop in Milan last month I wore a velvet mini skirt from Sandro with matching t-shirt (that I wore too much after that). Obviously wore good old Converse on my feet since they are a perfect shoe for a day of sightseeing.

Sheer Bowknot

When I wore this outfit the other day I felt like a million bucks and even forgot for a second that my look is way lower than $100 total! How cool is that? You walk on Rodeo Drive and get stopped by women wearing head-to-toe Versace asking you where you got that skirt (which is ridiculously affordable, click here to see for yourselves!). I guess the point is knowing where to shop and not telling anyone :) But since I really love you guys I will reveal my secret spot (don't tell anyone else though ;)) - it's ChicWish! Versatile, feminine and affordable fashion is just one click away!
As for accessories, I have the opposite philosophy. I don't believe in multiple cheap bracelets hanging on your hands and making you sound like a gypsy. I prefer a one time statement piece that can be worn on multiple occasions and always look sophisticated (not flashy!) with any set you wear. This Siren Cuff with Amethyst stones from Monica Vinader is definitely that one piece that will say it all - the stones, the gold and the irregular shape of it make it a unique way of expressing your personality.

Affordable Chic

This nautical look is inspired by my upcoming trip to the South of France, which I cannot wait for. I am absolutely obsessed with the top's golden neckline (no need for a necklace ;)), which makes it look so chic. You can dress it up and down, day to evening and still look your best. Basically, there is no way to go wrong with XOXO. It is a truly feminine, sexy and trend conscious brand that is also affordable (most pieces retail under $100!)

Cool New iPhone App

I recently found 2sides2me app, which is a photo sharing app for beauty and fashion addicts (like me!). The fascinating feature of it is that you can showcase your before and after photos in one space (without the need of scrolling down, just tap and hold the first image to reveal the second one!) and ask for your followers' opinions (i.e. which outfit, garment, make up color to choose).You can also showcase the change in your style or appearance (longer to shorter hair, before and after make-up application etc.) It sounds complicated but it's actually very fun and easy to do! Also, since the app is brand new the community is very engaging, which is why I am so excited about it.
On top of everything 2sides2me is holding a contest (starting today and ending May 4th), where by uploading your two-sides (before and after fashion photo) with hashtag #ootd you can win a Michael Kors Bag!!! Search 2sides2me in the app store or click on this link to download.
And by the way, check out my "after" photo on the app as well ;) My username is DianaMarks. Happy Monday!

Denim Jumpsuit and Hair Secrets

Most of you have probably seen this look on my Instagram last week. Nothing to add here: the denim jumpsuit from Joe's Jeans is so trendy and hip (and so versatile!) that even adding only one color to the look made it already awesome :) By the way, it looks equally good with nothing on top and a pair of cool flats ;)
But let's talk more about my hair. I get asked all sorts of questions about my hair and here is a little insight into my styling routine.
First, I should state that my hair is very fine and thin, and therefore pretty hard to style. On top of that, if I leave my hair to dry naturally after I wash them, I will look like I went partying to a rock concert for three days in a row.
It's extremely crucial for me not only to have a good quality styler, but also to ALWAYS have it on me! I can't go one day (not even talking about traveling!) without a styler, otherwise my hair will be a mess and I won't be able to leave the house for public safety reasons :) 
I tried many brands (some worked better than others), but recently I got to work with ghd and try out their new ghd ECLIPSE styler. The idea is that it styles faster with less heat! Saving time and less damage to the hair? I could definitely benefit from that! I never straighten my hair completely, I just style it in a desired shape and direction, so ghd is a perfect choice since it works so fast and so effectively.

Pink on Pink

If you follow me on Instagram you already saw this look that I wore over the weekend. To be honest it's my favorite type of look: denim shorts + interesting sweatshirt. And there is no better way to let your feet relax than wear good old converse - so comfy and so cool!

Casual and Foxy

This one one of the looks I wore last weekend. A fun print tee and jeans complemented with a bright blazer for a drop of casual elegance and cute comfy espadrilles for a little weekend chic. As a huge sunglasses fan I am happy to add these ones from Lulus to my collection (especially for that price!)

Mesh Tank and Fringe Booties

It's getting warm outside and I am back to my favorite monochrome combo: this time it's a cooling white mesh tank and high waisted black shorts from Kahlo. And the white fringe booties from Kerol D Milano are a perfection! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Stay tuned for an exciting giveaway on Monday!

Trendy

Obsessing with these color block pants from DKNY. I wear them with flats and heels and each time the outfit comes out very different. This time I styled the pants with this cool tee from Zara (my recent find!) and my new Proenza Schouler - it was time for me to get one! :) Hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend!

Believe in Yourself

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now that 2014 has already started I want to congratulate you all and wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous year. I feel very grateful for all your support during the past year. Without you guys I wouldn't be blogging for so long and wouldn't be able to have the exciting opportunities that my blog has brought. I wish you all to believe in yourselves and always know that whatever you imagine in your wildest dreams is possible with a lot of hard work and dedication! Believe in yourselves and others, be kinder and happier in the new 2014!

Black and Gold

I take advantage of LA weather and go bare legged in mid-December. Sweater dress, cool leather jacket and nice pair of heels is all I need! What is your weather like right now?

Open Shoulders

One of the advantages of living in LA is that sometimes you can get lucky enough to wear a top with open shoulders in December ;)

Preppy in Shorts

It's cold and rainy outside, and I can't believe that just yesterday I was wearing shorts! I love these ones from ASOS, because they have such preppy feel and they are so comfy! On a side note, I rediscovered my love for watches, currently obsessed with these ones from Rakani.

Red and Stripes

I combined a very affordable skirt from Savous, black Zara shirt and a $20 dollar Bloomingdale's Tote into a chic and sophisticated outfit. Looking good has never been that easy and most importantly, cheap!
