Retro Chic

I am not really a hat person. Perhaps because I haven't found the perfect hat shape that fits me yet. But every once in a while I like to experiment and go out of my comfort zone. This look is definitely one of those. Happy Monday!

Preppy in my new Mercedes

If you follow me on my socials, you might already know that I got a new car a few days ago and I finally wanted to show it to you properly. The car is a Mercedes Benz C300 4W in elegant black color. I am a huge believer in a car being the extension of one's personality and style. It doesn't mean that everybody has to rush to the nearest expensive car dealer and get a loan to pay off whatever their value their personality at. And we all know that everyone values themselves at least as a Ferrari :) But that's not what I mean... It goes beyond the make of the car. You can tell a lot about the person by the way they treat it, the color they choose and the way they behave in it. I chose a Mercedes because I am a longtime fan of the brand (in no way I am stating that it's a better or worse car than any other), I like their design and most importantly this particular model, that fits my personality and style: sleek, elegant and classy. The day I got the car I wore a preppy look, that apparently already matched my car without even knowing which one I'll get :) Tell me about the "law of attraction" :)
On a side note, I know I have been teasing you for the past half a year with a potential change in the blog structure and I have been analyzing, testing and thinking a lot about the direction I want to take. I think I finally have an idea of a slow transition and expansion, that you'll notice gradually.
As for my life, I think I am getting older, wiser and more appreciative of what I have. That's why I am always grateful to you guys for following along and being patient with my posts. Thanks for appreciating quality over quantity and always giving me your feedback.

Bryce Dallas Howard and Canon Event

Those who follow me on Instagram may have noticed that I worked with Canon back in December and I got a chance to attend their event. The open to public event was held outdoors and the host was Bryce Dallas Howard - a longtime Canon fan, as I learned. Canon introduced the public to their technology and came up with a few interactive stations where you could take a camera and test your photography skills or camera's setting right on the spot. It was fun, creative and definitely inspiring. I got a chance to chat with Bryce about Canon, the event, photography, fashion and her upcoming projects (Yay, Jurassic Park fans!). Read full interview below.
