Paris

 

River Island Paris sweatshirt / Topshop jeans / Jimmy Choo nude pumps / Miu Miu pink handbag / Pink earrings / Chanel makeup

 

 This is kind of early Christmas wishlist.. I bought the Paris sweatshirt in navy in the end and can't wait to wear it. I am craving all things burgundy and a pair of jeans seems like a good purchase. My wardrobe is also in serious need of nude pumps. Jimmy Choo shoes are my favourite as are Miu Miu handbags at the moment.

 

Have a stylish day.

Phase Eight wishlist

Autumn is upon us and that means new season's clothes. I'm already starting to think about the festive season, because that means parties which means pretty dresses. I'm really loving florals and prints at the moment (they never go out of style) and Phase Eight's autumn collection is fitting the bill perfectly. There's so many dresses on my wishlist! They have something for everyone. And not just for special occasion.
I know where I'll be spending my next paycheck..
You can shop them all here.

Fall-ing

 

I have been getting ready for fall for quite a while (I bought my winter coats in summer sales..). And as much as I'm enjoying current beautiful weather, I have to admit I am slightly looking forward to A/W. Here's few things I bought already or I'm planning to buy soon.

I mostly can't wait to wear burgundy and cobalt blue (along with pink), printed pants and dresses, darker make-up and nails.

What are you most looking forward to this autumn?

 

Have a stylish day.

InstaMonday

I have wanted the pink polka dot JCrew jumper for ages and I was mega happy when the BF treated me. Can't wait for my first JCrew item to arrive and hoping to buy many more. Also look forward to them opening thei first UK store to be opened later this year. Are you a JCrew fan?
My favourite past time is reading, especially fashion magazines. I've just renewed my ELLE subscription too so couldn't be happier.
As Miss Pink I totally need that pink Valentino bag in my life. It's my ultimate dream buy for this year. Time to start saving up...

Marilyn Monroe once said, that all she wears to bed is Chanel No5. I wear Chanel Chance (my all time fave) and a lacy nightie.
The new place I share with the BF is nearly finished. We've used a lot of black and white. I love drinking coffee from our new stripy mugs with a view of NYC skyline pictures.

Have a stylish day.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

For today's style icon I chose not one but two! It's a special treat... Although sometimes they may seen like one. They are 24-year old twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. These days their styles vary and it may be easier to recognize them, but at times you couldn't tell them apart. They started their career as babies in the series Full House, apparently because they were the most behaved at the casting, and the rest is a history. String of succesful movies followed and the Olsens brand was born. They managed to raked in millions and have fans all over the world, selling all sort of merchandise under their names. But as their got older and became more interested in fashion, they started to get credit for their fashion choices as well. Especially Mary-Kate with her bohemian look, appeared on many fashion pages. That's probably when they realized their passion for design and launched a collection of clothing The Row.  Eventually they started another one called Elizabeth and James, called after their siblins. They are both very popular and these days they get a regular show at New York fashion week. Both twins are often seen and front rows of shows and a party circuit. I usually love their outfits, althought they've made some bad choices in the past. But who doesn't. I'm definitely interested how their labels are gonna develop though and hope they will continue to do well in the business.
Have a stylish day.

Fashion politics - by Michelle Obama

When Barack Obama was voted the first black president it was a massive change for the world of politics. Little did we know his wife would have a huge impact in the world as well. His speech about change was very appropriate for more than the obvious reasons. Ever since the inaugural ball, and Michelle Obama stepping out in THAT gown by Jason Wu, the world of fashion suspected maybe the change wouldn't only happen in politics.
Michelle Obama knows how to dress. It's been a while since people were so interested what the First lady would wear. Probably not since Grace Kelly, the princess of Monaco, who's to this day seen as a style icon, would the First Woman of state cause headlines of her own and even appear on a cover of Vogue! But people can't get enough of Michelle Obama. There is more that meets the eye, but today we're talking about here style. And great style she's got! With nice womanly figure it makes the choices easier. She often wears well fitted shift dresses that suit her so well. And thanks to her skin colour she can be mire bold with her colour choices and she's making the most of it. Expect the lot: yellows, greens, reds, purples.. She wears it all with grace and looks great. She shows women that you can have fun with 'workwear'. There are certain politics in fashion and Michelle is a proof there can be fashion in politics. Other First Ladies should take notice! Hers is a way how to look glamorous and present your state well at the same time.
Have a stylish day.

Stylish home

I not only love fashion, but anything stylish. I've been to some very cool places, bars, clubs, homes and paid a special attention to decor. I very much appreciate it, when people express themselves not only throught clothes, but through their home as well. You can expect in my place a lot of black, white and pink(same as in my wardrobe). I saw this armchair from John Lewis and loved it straight away. I wouldn't go overboard with pink, but I can see this somewhere in the corner of a living room, adding a bit of colour and a feminine touch. Amazing! Availabe to order online or instore.
Have a stylish day.

Museum of Bags and Purses - Amsterdam

After a two-week break, which I spent on holiday in my home tome in the Czech Republic, I am back with more tips and views on fashion, art, lifestyle and so on.. And if you, like me when you come back from abroad, can't wait to go on another adventure as soon as possible, then you might like little suggestion. I'm planning a short trip to Amsterdam for a bit of culture and history, and you can imagine my excitement, when I discovered, that this great city has a museum dedicated to handbags and purses. I checked the website: www.tassenmuseum.nl and it looks great! Now I just have to count down the days till my weekend break away. The museum has a great selection of handbags in date order going back to 1500!
And what's more, at the moment until 19 August 2010 they are holding exhibition Crystal loves leather, where leading designers and upcoming avante-garde designers have taken inspiration from CRYSTALLIZED Swarowski Elements and from two new applications of the crystals on leather. "The result is a true romance," the website says. I can't wait to see it! And of course report to you.
Have a stylish day.
Here are few examples of what you can see:

Past trends - good and bad!

As I told you few days ago, I'm gonna look back at the past decade in fashion, art and beyond. Well today I decided to share my thoughs on trends that stuck in my mind for good and bad reasons. There are things that never really go out of fashion. They may have their highs and lows, but will always be there. One of them for me is Britannia. I love things with british flag. So much has been around but there are times when you can see more of it. Like past two summers and also in summer 2001. I remember that because that's when I came to England and got so hooked that I bought 2t-shirts with little flag - one glittery and the other quite plain. I loved them, but unfortunately they ended up in the bin - oh what a shame, as I could easily wear them again..
One trend I never liked and am hundred per cent sure never will if it comes back (which I doubt) was crocs. Do you remember the ugly plastic shoes with holes in them? Well I never understood the point of them. They got very popular, people claiming how comfy they are. I'd rather suffer for fashion than take a comfort in Crocs.
Other trend I remember well was big again around the time I came to UK. It was Madonna who started it and found a way into my wardrobe. It was sort of celebrity T-shirts. Do you remember the popular songsress on her tour wearing tops with names like Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and so on? I got a couple of ones with Madonna's name and one with her picture as well. How cool was I?! Again I think they eventually ended up in a bin... It's a shame there isn't enough space for all our clothes we ever buy. I would really enjoy looking back at everything, reminiscing about the times I wore them. I'd probably cringe about some of them, but it would be fun.
Something I really love is goth look as you probably know, if you read my blog regularly. It is something that keeps coming back and it's just so great. You can really play with the style and never get bored with it.
The thing I'm really into right now is big shoulders. It's very 80's - an era that has been very popular for the past few seasons and I'm loving it. I'm not so sure about all those glitters and sequins, but padded or in another way interesting shoulders are my thing. Christophe Decarnin has been one of the designers really into this trend for Balmain and I'm just loving everything by him.
There has been some great things emerging in the last ten years, but it would take a long time to mention them all. Is there anything important that you think I have forgotten? Let me know! And have a stylish day.

Having an art attack

Not only I love fashion I love art as well. And when the two are combined together even better! That's why I love being friends with Marcela Jurisova - the cool new artis on the block. If, like me, you feel the urge for redecorating your house in the upcomoing winter months and maybe need to inject some colour, check out her paintings, which look like pages from Vogue, only they’re all unique. Inspired by fashion photographs, Marcela paints in a slightly abstract way. You better get them now before she gets famous and the prices will go through the roof. “I like to show movement,” the 28-year old says. They’re gonna look great on every fashionista’s wall.
