Spanish Travel Diary: Day 1 - Rosas & Barcelona September 20 2016, 1 Comment
Rosas is an essentially Mediterranean town with a notable tourist and seafaring tradition. Located in a unique natural environment in the northern area of the Costa Brava, it is less than 30 km from the French border and 160 km from Barcelona, so therefore it was my first stop on a "Spanish" tour. Rosas origins date back to the eighth century BC with the arrival of the Greeks. It is a modern town, which is culturally active with its proud traditions. It offers excellent shopping, restaurants, bars, beautiful beaches and fun nightlife.
Rosas is near to some of the most attractive and least crowded beaches of the Costa Brava. Just down the road, the vast stretch of beach runs all the way to historic Sant Martí de Empuries.
After enjoying Rosas, there comes the outstanding Barcelona with i's historic sights, fantastic restaurants with delicious tapas, world-class museums and art galleries. Heaven for every artistic soul...
Always inspired by great architecture, the first thing to see in Barcelona was Antonio Gaudi's magnum opus, the most visited monument in Barcelona, church Sagrada Familia. With its most amazing arches, towers and Nativity facade, Sagrada Familia truly is a masterpiece like no other. La Pedrera is another Gaudi's jewel worth visiting. Apartment building, commissioned in 1906 by businessman Pere Milà i Camps and his wife Roser Segimon i Artells, is the result of two buildings, which are structured around two courtyards that provide light to the nine levels: basement, ground floor, mezzanine, main or noble floor, four upper floors, and an attic, distributing 20 homes for rent. One of the most significant parts of the building is definitely the roof with skylights, staircase exits, fans and chimneys. All of these elements are constructed from timbrel and coated with limestone, broken marble or glass and have become real sculptures integrated into the building.
Amazing to see is also Barcelona Cathedral. Gothic cathedral, dedicated to young virgin Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, whose body is entombed in the cathedral's crypt, has an outstanding chapels and crypt with beautiful atrium, where you'll find cathedral's garden, fountain and even geese.
Let me close this blog post with the most amazing thought: "Each makes use of the gift God has given them. Developing this gifts is the highest social perfection. One who builds and must do things should not criticize the works of others, nor defend their own, but make and direct criticisms against their own works to purify and improve them."
Antonio Gaudi

My Personal Style: '90s Look For A Ferry Trip July 24 2016, 6 Comments
The '90s trends made a huge comeback and they are not going away quite yet. And, it's the '90s that I draw inspiration from for my casual look on a ferry boat.
You know, that history tends to repeat itself and the saying definitely holds true in the fashion industry.
Here are a few trends from the '90s, you simply must rock this summer:
CHOKER: do you remember the tattoo style version? I guess we all wore them. The look lives on and you can do it in a more sophisticated way - with a black leather strap or, go even further and choose them in different colours or materials (such as metal) for a truly glamorous appearance.
FLORAL PRINT: the floral print in little daisy prints has made a strong comeback and it's just perfect for romantic summer outfits.
PLATFORMS: Even though you thought you'd never see sky high platforms again, they are BACK! You can certainly go for a more sophisticated version with a block heel.
FLANNEL: nineties grunge is back and more polished than ever, so the flannel shirts are here. Wear it or tie it around your hips for a more super cool look.
DENIM: what are 90's without denim? Well, they don't exist... So, denim jackets, high waisted jeans and hot pants are a must!
CROP TOP: the belly baring shirts were a '90s staple and they are back! Either for sporty and casual looks or in a more sophisticated tone in combination with high waistline umbrella and pencil skirts or pants.

My Personal Style: Black Shirt Dress On Prvić Island July 06 2016, 4 Comments
A summer staple, easy-to-wear easy-to-go + looking extremely chic: The shirt dress. From office to bar, keep it classic with Shirt Dress - whether simple and sleek or fancy and feminine. And when talking about fancy and feminine aka long shirt dress - well, this is when you'll get the oh wow effect with plenty of compliments! There is something with summer and long dresses, a special love affair which only works in this time of period. And that is why you should embrace the opportunity and wear long dresses as much as you can. They make you feel extremely beautiful, sensual and glamorous and, despite the length, they are comfortable! Hiding everything you want to hide or showing what you want show. Especially perfect for this is a shirt dress. With opening or closing the buttons you will achieve the desirable effect. I love to wear mine more loose, with a statement bra and some cool body chain to really elevate the look and making it more special.
With our sassy The Lie by JPZ long shirt dress we'll definitely take you from an effortless day edge to making an entrance at the summer cocktail party...
