Winning in Winter White


Winter is in full swing (in some places :P) and this post is yet another way to prove that we don't have to wait for summer to experiment with fashion and especially with white colors. My latest collaboration with Target is all about wearing white in winter. Here are three ways to wear white-on-white for a fashionable winter outing: a soft and comfy white sweater from Target with high heel winter boots, with the leather jacket for a cold evening and with white converse for a casual fun all-white look.

Work it Out, TargetStyle


We have all been in situations where we have to put together a last minute look. Whether you are going to an event straight from work or your outfit got ruined on your way there, there is always that moment full of pressure and disappointment. Target asked me to show you that it doesn't have to be that way. It's actually quite the opposite - it's fun and creative! :) I stopped by my local Target and was able to put together this chic and classy look in as little as 10 minutes! And some of the items were not only discounted but on clearance! I literally got a whole new look well under $100! I am guessing you already can't wait for that "stressful" situation to happen - another excuse to go shopping on a budget :)

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 :)

Packing Preview


Holiday season is upon us and I am teaming up with Target once again for a little packing preview of what beauty products to take with you on a Christmas trip back home. I decided to make a little beauty edition with 5 key items and 3 beauty accessories to keep your skin glowing during your vacation. Here are my picks:

6 Month Salvation


Target found out that only 20% of their guests' clothes gets worn, which means 80% is left unexplored! I was challenged to find an item that I haven't worn in the past 6 months and style it in 3 different ways to remind myself how cool it actually is and how much I once loved it. I had so much fun styling these creative looks with my old black and white pattern skirt that I think I'll definitely wear more often from now on. Obviously Target items helped me in my styling process, which means that you can easily create new fun looks without spending a fortune (or anything!) Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Inspiration is Everywhere


Here is another cool idea from Target. Target believes (and I second it!) that inspiration in style can come from anywhere, whether it's a piece of art, a mural in your city, a song on the radio or simply any object around you! To prove this, Target challenged me to find any item in their store and get inspired by it in my style and boy, I went wild =) Everywhere I looked I could come up with at least a few different looks, but as soon as I saw these headphones, I immediately remembered my favorite color combination (orange+black+white) and thought that it was time to utilize it again! Came up with this preppy and playful look with elements of male fashion (hello ties!) all styled mostly with Target items - meaning, you don't have to break a bank to look stylish and original! ;)

Blogger Style Session

Here is another fun project from Target. This time Target paired me up with the lovely Ashley from Life, Love and the Pursuit of Shoes for a little styling session. We were supposed to dress each other according to our styles. You can check out how I styled her here.
So Ashley and I had a little chat about my recent obsession for all-black looks and thigh-high boots. We both are very excited to finally be able to rock fall fashion and this is the look that we came up with for me: total black outfit with a pretty skater skirt and a chic sheer blouse with a white bow. And of course.....my new thigh high boots. I still can't believe they are only $70! Such a steal!

The Boo Challenge

Target has challenged me to take my "boo" to the store and have him create a look that truly represents my personal style. I chose to take my friend Ricky for a little styling session and this is the look that he came up with: edgy faux leather with a touch of gold.
I am also excited to announce my partnership with Cosmic Cart, the universal shopping cart for the web. Cosmic Cart lets you buy items from multiple retailers without having to leave my site! When you see the Cosmic Cart icon on the photos, just click it to shop the look. It's that simple!

White Shirt Challenge

This time around Target has challenged me to create three different looks with the new fall white Mossimo shirt using the older pieces from my wardrobe.

Flaunt It Friday

Target challenged me to post about the feature I am flaunting at the moment and it was actually harder than I thought. I am sure lots of you ladies can relate with me. If someone asks me what body part I am insecure about I will give them a long list of what-s and why-s, but when asked what part I actually like I got a little stuck... I started thinking what part of my body gives me the greatest confidence boost and allows me to wear daring outfits with confidence and I came up with a conclusion that it's my face! When I sleep well and have clear skin, I feel my best and tend to choose more interesting looks than when I am tired and don't want to attract much attention :) So to work what I've got I try to sleep well, stick to a healthy lifestyle (even though it's not a 100% commitment yet :) ) and most importantly, take care of my skin. I obviously do regular facials, but using the right products is crucial. My current favorite is Laneige Water Bank Serum which is lightweight yet very hydrating. I don't even need moisturizer after it. This product helped me stay "picture ready" throughout the whole New York Fashion Week! And what about you? What body part are you flaunting at the moment?

Skinny Boyfriends and Gosling

I'd like to start this post by saying thank you so much for your support on my latest post. Your words of encouragement gave me reassurance that I am moving in the right direction. I am so grateful for each and every one of you! My first non-fashion post is still cooking ( is there a hint here?!:) ), so for now we are back to outfits!
I am usually not a big fan of light denim, but these boyfriend jeans from Target made me change my mind. They are actually called skinny boyfriend jeans, because they are not as lose at the bottom as regular boyfriends would be. That, plus 90s inspired wash and relaxed low rise fit made me absolutely fall in love with them. Styled them with a dreamy tee from ASOS and simple shopping tote. 
What about you, do you prefer light or dark denim?

Triple Denim

No matter how many seasons and trends go by, one thing is a classic - DENIM! From light to dark, skinny to bootcut, short or long - you can never go wrong with denim. I picked up a perfect pair of jeans in Target and decided to experiment with denim-on-denim trend and went a little too far...or did I? :) I created a daring look by wearing three different shades of denim combined with white details . Voila - I am ready to rock'n'roll =)
