Classy Lady

As much as I love my casual European style that you get to witness on my Instagram, my favorite looks are elegant ones. This one is my particular favorite because of a classy black top with cut out shoulders, that I found at a local boutique in Santa Barbara. Paired with elegant accessories, like sunglasses, earrings, heels and a timeless Lady Dior, the whole look makes me feel like a modern version of Audrey..

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.

Transitioning to Fall

Fall is right around the corner and I slowly transition my wardrobe into the new season. Over the weekend I donated three huge bags of my old clothes to Goodwill and I am ready to restock my wardrobe with fall items. Apparently, this season I am into brown leather (faux leather of course!) - how much more "fall" can it be? ;) Picked up the leather skirt at Zara and styled it with uber-elegant top combo from Topshop. And the key piece of the look, to my mind, is my colorblock tote from Culture Riot! So spacious and so "fall"!
And the most exciting news now! Tomorrow I'll be in New York and will start "reporting live" from New York Fashion Week. I am so excited to attend it this year again (last year's adventures are here) and I am so grateful for your support, without which I wouldn't be there! Follow my Instagram adventures on @byDianaMarks and the next blog post will definitely be about New York ;)

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!
