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!

Only in LA...

Only in LA you can wear a tank top under an oversized knit coat in mid-November (and not even need a coat in daytime) :) Happy Monday!

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! ;)

Inspired by ... my travels!

Hey guys! So I am finally back in LA and able to post more frequently. Thanks for following my travels along on my social networks! My stay in Turkey was relatively short, but full of positive experiences. Even though it was gloomy and rainy all the time, I managed to see lots of great places and did quite a little bit of shopping.
Turkey is a truly fascinating country. Istanbul, where I stayed, has lots of contrasts, religions and backgrounds combined in a single city of 16 Million people! I felt like I am in some sort of a fairy tale, when I visited Sultan's palaces, mosques, bazaars and simply walked on the streets. 
You might have seen this jumpsuit on my Instagram, but I made a full photo session of it because I am so obsessed with it. My hotel offered a perfect background location with turkish style couch and moroccan inspired window blinds - perfect for an arabic look ;)
