Dreaming of the Weekend

It's mid-week and therefore a perfect time to start planning the weekend. Some of my weekends are planned, some are spontaneous, but this one in particular is going to be crazy! Besides my exciting day on Sunday, I definitely know that I'll be relaxing on Saturday in this cool sweatshirt from Ily Couture. Not only it's stylish, but it's also incredibly soft! I even want to sleep in it. Hope you have exciting weekend plans ;)

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.

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.
