Black and White Reflections

Happy New Years, my dear friends! Let's take a moment in our lives and be grateful for the beautiful 2015. This black and white look is a symbolic representation of my year. For me personally it was a very tough year, a lot has changed in my life and sometimes life looked completely black. But there were definitely a few positive moments represented by "white". 
It's important to see the good in bad situations, but most importantly, stay humble and grateful. No matter the challenges that this past year has brought on me, I am grateful for every second of it and I am also extremely grateful to be healthy and alive greeting the beautiful 2016! I hope you guys can relate and I wish you more white than black in the New Year. Black is a necessity though, the outfit wouldn't look stylish and refined without it ;)

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.

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 ;)

Schoolgirl Gone Bad

Even though I finished school a long time ago, I still like to go into a "back to school" mode once in a while. For some reason it's always black and white with a touch of fun in a form of a colorful bag ;)

Sheer Red

As much as I love experimenting with style, elegant is still my favorite direction. Today it's this absolutely stunning dress from Ted Baker. I love Ted for making me feel like a real princess in any of their dresses. You can shop this dress and the rest of merchandise in store and online at 20% off for one day only at Ted Baker on Thursday October 9th! Don't miss this exclusive one day event!

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.

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.

Preppy French

I don't know why but I felt so french in this outfit. Preppy burgundy and navy combo with my favorite flats of the moment - Tod's gommino driving shoes, reminded me how much I miss walking around in Europe. And the super cute wicker bag from Kate Spade was a perfect finishing touch, which also came out handy for a bottle of wine that I carried for dinner to my friend's house.

Hug Me

My colorful Monday look is all about "business meets fun" :) A classy blazer with a cool tee and bright pants is complemented by this awesome bag from Divo Diva, which is unique, original and most importantly fun! Obsessed with my new Prada sunnies from Shade Station. Have a great week!

Black on White

Black and white is one of my favorite color combinations (as seen here, here and here). However, all these looks have black as a main color with a touch of white. This time I decided to do the opposite, styling white as the dominating color, which resulted in a more interesting look.
Hat: Pamoa
Sunglasses: Versace
Blazer: Zara (similar here)
Turtleneck: Banana Republic (similar here and here)
Pants: Zara
Purse: Prada
Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana (similar here)
