Miami Vibes

If you follow me on social media, you already know that I spent the past few days in Miami. It was my first time there and I really enjoyed it. Tropical climate is not something I experience often, so it was definitely fun to watch the weather change so fast: heat waves, high humidity, heavy rains and cold evenings (in January only) could all happen in one day. I spent my time exploring the city and hanging out in South Beach. Even paid a few visits to the beach itself ;)
Packing for any trip is quite a challenge for me, but it has gotten much easier thanks to my favorite Lulus. I picked out an outfit which was perfect for Miami – a beautiful yellow body, a high waisted skirt, sexy high heels (Miami style!) and an elegant clutch, which I am sure I’ll use a lot in upcoming seasons. Oh, and by the way, I am obsessed with the choker necklace – such a sexy and charming piece!

Scotland Fashion

My trip to Scotland was brief but full of memories. The weather was terrible that weekend - it was rainy, windy and very very cold, but it didn't stop us from having a great time full of adventures. From visiting the Edinburgh Castle, exploring spooky Greyfriars Kirkyard, having coffee breaks at the Elephant House Cafe, where JK Rowling wrote her first Harry Potter, and ending the day on a bar tour around town, there wasn't a moment not to feel bored.
As promised here is one of the looks that I wore during the trip. I was so excited to visit the country for the first time and took time to decide what look I am going to wear - tartan was on my mind and I found this perfect mini-skirt at my favorite Lulus. I wore the skirt from day into the night, switching a few items around for a glam look.

London Gal

As you might now from my social media, I recently took a trip to the UK. It was such a great experience to come back to a place, which I once called home - rediscover myself and more importantly, reflect on my life especially considering the important changes I am going through. One might say that vibrant London is not the best place to reflect, but since it has a special place in my heart, it definitely was the perfect option. I walked around local streets, caught up with friends and met a few new interesting people, but most importantly, I recharged myself emotionally and simply had a great time. 
To stay stylish on this trip I relied on my favorite Lulus, which saved me on my previous European trip back in June. I managed to find perfect outfits both for London and Edinburgh (where I went for a weekend) and this one is my London look: vegan leather pants, true Londoner booties and obviously a hat. Stay tuned for my true Scottish look in Edinburgh :)

Party Perfect with Lulus

Holiday season is right around the corner and this means - party season! I love an all-black glam look for a party, especially if it's as sexy as this jumpsuit! :) I found it at my favorite Lulus.com, which also carries a million options of cute and glam holiday dresses and I am already eyeing a few. What are your favorite pieces for the holiday party season?

Fall Fashion

As much as I hate to see summer end, I am kind of excited to start transitioning my wardrobe into early fall, which, in my opinion, is the best fashion season. Restocking my wardrobe for fall is so easy thanks to my favorite Lulu's. I found tons of affordable items that I adore, including these high waisted elegant shorts in beautiful grey shade and the beautiful open back top to go with the shorts. Happy Shopping!

My European Vacation

For those who still don't follow me on the social networks, it's time to tell you a bit more about my European trip. This year it was packed with gorgeous locations, great company and amazing food. I spent 3 weeks in Europe, kicking off my tour with a week in Cannes followed by a road trip around Tuscany and three day stays in Brussels and Amsterdam. I managed to see a total of 16 big and small towns all over Europe over the course of my trip. It was a little exhausting, but very exciting. I came back with a huge baggage of great memories and I think I even got a little depressed upon arrival, because this trip was like a dream and yet it was over so soon :( 
I was freaking out for a couple of weeks before leaving since I had absolutely no idea what to pack with me. I wanted to have a lot of outfit options, but didn't want to take a big suitcase in lieu of the amount of travel that I was planning to do. I also had to plan warmer looks in case of chilly nights or temperature changes from country to country. I also refused to take anything that I couldn't wear more than once and anything that wasn't pretty enough. I bought so much stuff from different online stores in hopes to get those ideal outfit options, but ended up returning most of it. I was getting desperate... 
But then I remembered about one store that somehow slipped my mind - my favorite Lulus. After spending hours on the website, I finally chose a few great summer dresses, pants, tops and a cool white jacket - perfect for summer nights. Whether it was surviving extreme heat in Cannes, getting lost on the streets of random Tuscan towns, admiring the architecture of beautiful Brussels or having the time of my life in vibrant Amsterdam, Lulu's made it easy for me to look stylish and feel comfy. Check out my looks that I wore in different cities and let me know which one is your favorite!

Cannes Diary - What to Wear and Where to Eat

As you know from my social networks, I am currently traveling across Europe, and as part of this amazing trip I spent last week in Cannes. I had so much fun there, going to the beach, eating unlimited seafood and croissants and catching up with my friends. My summer fashion consisted of very light items with thin materials due to hot weather in Europe and trying to minimize my luggage size. Here is a photo diary of my looks and places to visit via my Instagram @byDianaMarks. Enjoy :)
Hat: Club Monaco. Romper: Sandro. Flats: Soludos.

Tie-Dye Jumpsuit

Today's look is an experiment and judging by your social media feedback, it's a successful one. I don't think I ever wore tie-dye before, but I will definitely reconsider it now. I found this insanely cool print at my favorite Lulus (ON SALE NOW!) and couldn't wait to get it in the mail. Once I did, I was ecstatic. Not only it looks cool and fits well, it's also very soft and comfortable - something I am definitely a fan of. Got the sandals and the sunnies at the same spot - Lulus is definitely a one stop shop.

Florals and Pastels for Spring

I am so excited to rock spring fashion these days and one of the recent looks that I am obsessing with is again from Lulu's. The outfit gives out flirty spring vibes with very cute pastel floral romper and sexy nude mesh heels. Not only will I wear it in spring, but I'll definitely be moving it into my summer wardrobe as well ;)

Tank Dress

When the heat strikes like today, the only thing one can wear is a light silk tank dress, like this one from Alice and Olivia. It's super easy to style and very sexy to wear ;)
By the way, check out my latest article that I wrote on Loehmann's blog about occasional dressing!

All American In Lincoln

Lately it's been fun, because I got to test the new Lincoln Navigator 2015 for the whole week! It was exciting and a little intimidating, since I never drove an SUV before. But I got used to it so fast, that I didn't even want to give it back in the end :) 
This car is definitely a stunning and very photogenic piece of machinery. It's a perfect blend of enhanced utility, craftsmanship and comfort. The luxury SUV is surprisingly easy to operate and, most importantly, park! It's packed with the coolest latest technological advances, such as touch screen, voice activated navigation system and phone control (it's like you can literally talk to your car!), surround audio system and cross traffic alert (constantly monitoring all the blind spots and notifying you if there is another vehicle there). Overall it's a perfect vehicle for SUV lovers who enjoy enormous space, unlimited comfort and technological tricks for extra safety and fun.
As for the outfit, I felt playful and a little southern that day (having an all-American car), and lucky for me, Lulu's always has my back even if the craziest outfit ideas pop into my mind. Seriously, I thought about how much I need fringe boots this season and found them on Lulus.com right away!

That Perfect Gift...

First of all, THANK YOU so much for your lovely emails and comments on my latest post. You can't imagine how much you make my day with your tweets, comments, likes and messages. I see and read every single one of them. I am so glad to be bringing the "Total Black" style back! To go along with the "black waive" I obviously couldn't resist pulling out my favorite "little black dress". I believe that the most important part of the "little black dress" look is the shoe! I always dedicate extra time to decide which pair will be the key element of the day when wearing LBD. Today it's my new italian obsession from Loriblu - sleek, sexy, feminine and elegant shoes directly from Italy! I believe they could be a perfect gift for any lady (or yourself if you are a lady :) ), because I don't think anyone would ever NOT want them :)
Speaking of gifts.. I want to tell you about this new platform - Giftry - a cool way to create boards with gift ideas for yourself and others. If your friend has a birthday and you have no idea what to get them (which is ALWAYS the case!), you can create a Giftry board where you can add all sort of different ideas from physical retailers and any online stores. You can also invite your common friends to contribute to the board with their ideas and you can even anonymously invite your friend (whose birthday it is!) to add his/her own ideas for their perfect gift! Now you can never go wrong with a gift for that special occasion.
I am one of the Giftry influencers, which I am super excited about, who has a special board with cool gift ideas (these shoes are definitely there ;)). Check it out HERE and feel free to utilize my giftries :) Have fun!

Long Shorts

I never liked long shorts, but this year I tried wearing them with bright details and flat shoes and really liked the outcome. What do you think? ;)

Denim Shorts

This summer I am planning to wear lots of shorts and these feminine and sexy denim shorts with crochet hem are a new addition to my wardrobe. Not only they look nice with any type of top, they are also super affordable and on top of that on sale now!

White and Neon

Ever since the NY fashion week last September, I had a dream of finding the perfect flare pants in white and finally I did! Not only I wore them on the day I bought them, I also definitely decided to take them to fashion week this year! White is a perfect color for summer and nothing makes it stand out more than a crazy color paring like this one with neon yellow.

Pink, Grey and Polka Dot

Scalloped shorts are back in the game this spring and I couldn't be happier. Last year I embraced the trend fully (as seen here and here) and I still think that scallop edges are very feminine which fits my style perfectly. I am not a big fan of pink color, but this top from Lulu's has such a beautiful and rich shade that I just couldn't resist it. Added polka dots to continue with the feminine theme and finished with a grey blazer and matchy scarf. Happy Friday!

Time for Overalls

Spring is in full swing and I am happy to be able to wear my favorite overalls! These particular ones from Lulu's have such a fun and refreshing print. Wore them with neon heels which I bought last year. When I was buying them I thought I'd never be able to style them, but they just add a touch of glamour to so many looks that I keep coming back to them more often than I expected.

Pastel Stripes

The weather is changing so fast these days: from sunny to gloomy, from warm to cold. My solution for today was a cozy oversized sweater from Lulu's, which I wore as a dress in daytime and as a tunic over jeans at night.

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!)
