I recently came across these photos I took wearing Tacori jewelry and realized I never shared them  with you guys. The concept came naturally, because I was just in the middle of reading my favorite book by Leo Tolstoy - the tragedy of an unhappily married aristocrat of Imperial Russia - Anna, her passionate affair with dashing Count Vronsky and their doomed love. Not only it still remains my number one recommended book to read, I am also obsessed with Joe Wright's adaption of the book in the movie "Anna Karenina" (2012).

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.
