Suspender Pants

This season I didn't go to fashion week. It's been a very rough period of my life and fashion week plans quickly fell apart... I did however plan a few looks for it and this was supposed to be one of them. But who needs fashion week to dress for it? :) I can just dress like this here in LA.

It's Tea Time

It's really hard to impress me when it comes to dresses but every once in a while I stumble upon a true beauty. This one from Maje is one of those - simple yet so chic and ladylike. Happy Weekend, my friends!
By the way, I am now on Snapchat - posting exclusive content there. Check it out, my username is byDianaMarks ;)

Dreaming of the Weekend

It's mid-week and therefore a perfect time to start planning the weekend. Some of my weekends are planned, some are spontaneous, but this one in particular is going to be crazy! Besides my exciting day on Sunday, I definitely know that I'll be relaxing on Saturday in this cool sweatshirt from Ily Couture. Not only it's stylish, but it's also incredibly soft! I even want to sleep in it. Hope you have exciting weekend plans ;)

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.

I am addicted to leather jackets these days and in a combination with my fave studded clutch I totally feel like a glam rocker :) Happy Monday!

New Year's Outfit

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?

Style Resolutions


As the New Year approaches, Target has challenged me to come up with style resolutions to update and refresh my style in 2015. As you know I love playing around with my style and I try to stay as versatile as possible, but I must admit, I still play it safe sometimes and rarely go completely out of my comfort zone. My style resolution is simply to try pushing further in exploring countless style possibilities and never be afraid of trying anything new.
I was thinking about what's missing in my wardrobe and what I'd like to see myself wearing more and I came up with ... tights. I started wearing patterned tights recently and immediately fell in love with the idea of countless patterns. You can change your look completely just by changing the color or the pattern of your tights! I already acquired a few additions to my growing collection at Target and I am on the quest for more - luckily Target has a lot to offer :)

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.

Be Radiant and Demi Lovato Giveaway

I am so excited to share an exclusive giveaway from the Radiant Collection from Tampax and Always. In honor of the Radiant Collection's partnership with Demi Lovato and her World Tour, which encourages girls to have the confidence to wear what they want any time of the month, I'm sharing my own "confident" fashion inspiration today. 
Today I wore this stunning suit from Ted Baker. The pattern, the color and the cut are so incredible and eye-catching, but I went even brighter by adding a mohican detail clutch and neon pink heels. Sometimes you leave me comments saying stuff like "Yes, that looks cool, but I could never pull that off". All I want to say, my dear friends, is "Oh yes you can!
What I learned in these few years of working in fashion is that it's never about what you wear; it's about how you wear it. If you feel confident in your outfit, it doesn't really matter what it is - you'll always look good! You could even wear a trash bag and still look awesome if you pair it with confidence and a killer pair of shoes! So pursue your wildest outfit ideas and work them as long as you feel good in them. And the Radiant Collection from Always and Tampax will make sure you can do it any day of the month with no exceptions ;)
Now, the most exciting part of the campaign is the Demi Lovato Concert! 
PRIZE #1: 2 tickets to Demi Lovato's concert at the Staples Center in LA this Saturday September 27th!!!! Since it's geographically biased, the conditions are super easy: tweet, email or instagram me your most radiant and confident outfit using the hashtag #BeRadiant for a chance to win 2 tickets to Demi Lovato's concert!

Future Perfect

If you are my regular reader, you might know that I am a huge fan of Edward Roth New York (as seen here and here), so naturally I could not not wear it while in NY especially at fashion week. I am dying over their carefully crafted fabrics and artistic prints, but when I saw this jacket I was stunned. The futuristic design with perfectly sculpted shoulder details highlights the body and transforms you into another sleeker time. And all of that in pastel pink? I am sold! If I could, I'd wear it every day not only because I love it that much, but I also love the effect it has on people while wearing it - everyone is sort of fascinated and amazed at the same time - it's truly magical!
In terms of styling, I used the jacket as my statement piece and chose neutral black color for the rest of the look. And since it was fashion week, I just had to spice it up with my neon pink heels from Saint Laurent which I wore for a few shows before switching to my furry and more comfy Dolce Gabbana booties.

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.
