Futuristic Glam with Lamborghini Huracan

It's time for a new installment in my "Car+Fashion" series and this time it's with Lamborghini Newport Beach's cool new Lamborghini Huracan - a perfect sports car that seems straight out of the future. It's precise technology and top level craftsmanship meet an audacious design with sharp edges and precise surfaces. Even though I didn't drive the car myself, I still had a lot of fun just sitting inside, listening to the engine (the sound of which changes with different modes of driving - street/sport/race) and watching sunny Cali views while speeding up. The Huracan's top speed is over 202 mph (325km/h), but obviously I didn't drive even close to that. You can check out the little video of my experience here :)
Various aspects of Huracan are technologically advanced, but my most favorite is full LED headlamps (and all other light functions!), which ensures higher contrast in night conditions and leaves you 100% convinced that you are driving your transformer friend (or maybe he drives you ;)). It's exciting, that with the Huracan, Lamborghini is taking a huge step into the future, and enhancing the brands illustrious history with the next automotive legend. 
As for the look, since I was featuring a futuristic car, I had to go with a futuristic glam look mixing different textures of all black.

It's Tea Time

It's really hard to impress me when it comes to dresses but every once in a while I stumble upon a true beauty. This one from Maje is one of those - simple yet so chic and ladylike. Happy Weekend, my friends!
By the way, I am now on Snapchat - posting exclusive content there. Check it out, my username is byDianaMarks ;)

How to Eat Less Sugar

Spring is only a few days away and while I am still recovering from the terrible cold I had for the past week, a month of over-eating beforehand due to my parents month-long visit (best time of my life!) and finally that very long holiday season full of treats and indulgences, I find myself a few pounds heavier and a little bit (or moderately!) out of shape. Admitting the fact is already hard enough, but then comes this really unpleasant feeling when your clothes just don't fit right anymore. 
Obviously I started browsing the internet and found hundreds of articles on how to lose weight fast, but I quickly realized that as much as I desperately want to lose weight, my main concern is still health. 
So I turned to my good old (or new?) friends - books (which is by far the only New Year's resolution that I keep sticking with!). I have just finished "The Body Book" by Cameron Diaz and I can't recommend it enough! It is very easy to read and, most importantly, very easy to implement. Cameron doesn't just talk about food, she touches every aspect of wellbeing in a very "21st century" way. The book is very informative, but as soon as I read the small article about sugar, I immediately bookmarked it and decided to share with you guys!
