One Dress Three Ways


I love a dress that I can style for many different occasions and this one from Target is another one of those. I absolutely love how it goes from casual to elegant with the right accessories.
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 in photos, just click it to shop the look. It's that simple!
So for the fist look I turned the dress into a skirt by wearing a crop top and a wide belt to make the transition from top to bottom smoother. This outfit is a perfect elegant look for a day full of meetings.

Vive la France (Bastille Day)

I didn't even realize until now that today I wore an outfit which is so appropriate for the Bastille Day. It was blue, white and red! I styled a simple white dress (perfect for summer) with sneakers this time. Yes, I've been wearing so much more flats these days as you can see in my previous posts. I am a huge comfort lover, so heels are not an option for long summer walks. Besides, there is nothing uglier than a well dressed girl who can't walk in heels (and trust me, these are probably 80% of all girls wearing heels).
But enough of this. Heels are important, but flats are just a must. I've been expanding my fashion sneakers collection recently and these ones from Twins for Peace are my absolute favorites! They are a) from PARIS; b) made from silk with satin shoe laces and c) just so comfy and adorable! Shall I say more? :)
And lastly, a final touch was my new super trendy Daniel Wellington watch. They are perfect with any look (especially if you are going for preppy or casual cool) AND great for both guys and girls! See for yourselves ;) By the way, you can get a 15% discount on their site using the code labydiana at checkout!

Strapless Summer

Summer is the time of strapless dresses (my favorite type!), but apparently it's very hard to find a perfect fitting dress. Club Monaco saved me this time. I added my Tod's gomminos, a big city bag (I really miss Paris now!) and voila - I am ready for an evening stroll.

What's In My Bag

My days are always different from one another. One day can be a quiet work-at-home day, the other can be a busy day full of meetings and events. On those days I usually pack a lot of stuff in my go-to bag to stay refreshed, energized and stylish throughout hot summer days. Here is a sneak peak of my current must haves while on-the-go: two pairs of sunnies in different colors, two bracelets in different styles, a lipstick, lip treatment with SPF, a moisturizer, small bottle of perfume, my phone with headphones, a wallet, rose water which I use as a body splash and my favorite flavor of Bottled Starbucks® Iced Coffee to stay refreshed and energized at any point of my day. The coffee is available in four delicious flavors and you can buy it at any grocery store - yummy, uplifting and easy to get!
