Day 5 of New York Fashion Week

So I've been back in LA for a couple of days now, but it already seems like New York Fashion Week was just a dream. I can't believe that just a week ago I was running around New York trying to catch all the shows I was invited to. Here is my look that I wore on day 5 of New York Fashion Week.
I combined this unbelievably cute purple skirt from TBagsLosAngeles and black blouse from Rails. I didn't have any appropriate belt for this look, so I came up with an idea of using my Gucci foulard scarf as a belt and finished the look with a statement Zara clutch. By the way, I am obsessed with these mirrored sunglasses from Carrera. They were my go-to sunnies during the whole Fashion Week.

Purple and Grey

So New York Fashion Week is over and I am finally back in LA with lots of great memories and tons of photos to edit. I took lots of outfit pictures in New York (since I changed so many times =)) and will be happy to share them with you very soon. And for now, this is the outfit I wore PRE-fashion week here in LA - I have been into cropped sweaters lately (as seen here).

Fashion Week Continues...

My days are all mixed up at the moment. I don't remember what was yesterday and what I have planned for tomorrow. I am definitely enjoying lots of events and exciting collections. On the downside, I barely sleep, eat once a day and change around 4 times a day =) Imagine how much time I spend thinking what to wear! Here is a short recap of the most exciting events recently.
Let's start with the most relaxing so far - a lovely Sunday brunch with PAVAN on the beautiful rooftop of the Refinery Hotel. I wore a feminine and incredibly pretty dress from Club Monaco, which seemed to be a perfect choice for a Sunday afternoon. Added this cute thin necklace from Wild Butterfly Boutique to keep the feminine vibe. Even the Pavan sangria (which is absolutely delicious and refreshing, by the way) matches my look =) By the way, check out Pavan's Facebook Sweepstakes - very exciting!

Day 2 of NYFW - Neon and Stripes

For the second day I chose neon and stripes - a simple three-color game which helps you stand out from the crowd. Obsessed with this Kate Spade clutch, that looks like a real newspaper.

New York Fashion Week Day 1

New York has been crazy so far. Lots of events and shows, very little sleep, lots of heels and most importantly lots of photographs taken =) I am excited and happy to attend New York Fashion Week for the first time. I will take you on an exciting journey of my days here and will highlight the most memorable moments. So here is Day 1, which was probably the busiest full of amazing events and incredible memories.
The first look of the day was total Zara (yes, it always saves us when we don't know what to wear =)) with a beautiful envelope clutch from Givenchy.

Overlooking LA

On days when I don't feel like dressing up at all, I just throw on comfy pants, a nice tee (or a polo) and complete the look with white shoes. I have a little addiction to white shoes - most of the sneakers or any sort of flats I have are white. And here is a new addition to my "white" collection - simple but very cool Converse! They are my first pair of Converse ever, but I am already obsessed with them - cute, comfy and incredibly affordable!

White on White

It's incredibly hot in LA these days and there is no better color to wear than white. I created a little of the sixties vibe by adding these fun sunnies from Topshop.

A Little Bit of Rock

Here is a little bit of edgy Diana in the summertime. On a side note, I went a little wild taking advantage of ASOS clearance sale and maxed out my credit card. Damn you, ASOS =)

From Another Galaxy

Sometimes just a pair of fun print leggings and a lose top is enough. Throw on some heels and jewelry for a more feminine look and voila - your outfit is complete. Happy Monday!

Life Lately

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I attended Ted Baker Los Angeles cocktail party to celebrate the launch of their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection. I picked a very girly and pretty dress and felt like a real princess wearing it. I'll show you full outfit photos later. And for now enjoy the details of the new Ted Baker collection. I was drooling over their awesome bags, beautiful shoes and amazing clothes! Both guys and girls can definitely find something the love from Ted Baker this season!

Back to Monochrome

No matter what colors or styles I experiment with I find myself going back to monochrome. It's so versatile and classic that I think I will never get bored or tired of it.

London Style

I was very excited to find these checkered pants and crop sweater at Zara - they remind me of Topshop so much. I don't know why, but this outfit made me feel like a true London girl. Even though I hardly saw any people dressed like this while living there, for some reason this is exactly how I envision London style - crop tops, skinny pants and leather booties.

Neon, Navy and Stripes

Found this awesome navy half sleeve blazer with neon details at SheInside - affordable and so chic! I matched it with a neon yellow top and completed the look with striped jeans from my favorite Club Monaco and this super awesome and fun tote from Kate Spade!

A Touch of Mint

I think I found the cutest t-shirt recently. No, it doesn't have bunnies or puppies - it's just a plain pastel mint tee with a cute center bow detail from Ted Baker. I paired it with an A-line Club Monaco skirt, a small make up case that I used as a clutch and matching jewelry.
