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: Beachin' With Statement Belt August 28 2016, 0 Comments
Statement belt is certainly an accessory that can make any look glamorous in an instant. Also, when we come down to beach outfits. I like to keep it simple, with a nice bikini and cool tunic or scarf, but it's the belt, along with other accessories - if you dare to go a bit further, that will add that extra bit of style to your look. So, fill your closet with outstanding waist pieces and take your beach look to the next level by slipping on that gorgeous belt.

Travel Diary: Romania Part 1 - Mamaia Beach August 13 2016, 5 Comments
Ever since I've visited Romania and Bucharest for the first time, I somehow fell in love with it. Beautiful cities, amazing history, nice people and most outstanding clubs and restaurants with delicious food are the reasons every traveler should visit this great country. And after beautiful cities, there comes luxurious seaside with beautiful Mamaia beach. Considered to be Romania's most popular resort, Mamaia is situated north-east of Constanza's city center on the Romanian Black Sea shore. Populated mostly during the summer, Mamaia is the perfect place for good food and music in stylish beach clubs. From a wide range of exclusive beach clubs, my pick during the day was Fratelli Beach&Club, serving a complete experience: delightful food in a beautifully designed restaurant and cozy big white wooden seats with even bigger umbrellas to protect and give you the much needed shadow from the hot sun. With beautiful beach setting and decor, feel free to go to the beach as chic as you can, since this is is surely the place where you'll see plenty of very good beach looks - yup, Romanian beauties know very well how it's done. Just throw on your favorite bikini and glam it up with some killer accessories - cool sunglasses, statement jewelry and a gorgeous bag will certainly do the trick!

ONE PIECE: A sleek and chic black one piece is an absolute summer staple. Then and now.
BELT: Accentuate your statue and elevate your one piece with a statement belt. Yes, even, if you are on the beach...

BANDANA: This small and cute little accessory in your hair will immediately create the desirable "wow" retro effect.
RED LIPS & NAILS: Whether you are lounging on the sand or sailing through the sea, red lipstick with matching nails is a must that makes the perfect cherry-on-top of your pin up sundae!
STRAW BAG: OK, let's admit - straw bags are big, especially this season and they are so incredibly chic and practical, you just have to incorporate ( at least ) one to your summer wardrobe.

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...

My Personal Style: When The Sun Goes Down August 29 2015, 4 Comments
Croatia… Beautiful islands… Old towns with beautiful little streets… Stone houses with blue windows… Relaxed, easy going vibe… Sun, sea, freedom…
What I love about the island’s style is that you can look super chic for an evening stroll or late night cocktails in your bikini and straw bag. You just add some nice light tunic over and accessorize with oversized sunnies, gold hoops and stacks of bangles on each arm, nice pair of heels and captain’s hat and you are ready to rock the island’s sunset in style.

My Personal Style: Accessorized On the Beach August 23 2015, 9 Comments
Who doesn’t like to frolic in the sun in their bikini or one piece? And which fashionista doesn’t like to spice it up a bit (or a lot) with some beautiful statements? There is certainly a wide range of accessories, that I love to use on the bech – bags, belts, sunnies and jewellery.
Ladies, which go for a conservative look, a delicate silver or golden pendant necklace will both add a little extra something to your look. But, if you want to get more glam, be daring and load up on chunky jewels like our The Lie by JPZ silver body chain and leather cuffs in metallic silver hue.
Do not be afraid to use belts on the beach – I love to wear them with my sarongs, to emphasize my waist, but sometimes, I love to pair most special ones also with one piece swimsuit, especially for a late afternoon and night of cocktails under the moonlight. Though heels are not very practical for the beach, do change your favourite daytime flats for a stunning pair of sandals for a cocktail party on the beach and seriously kick up the glam factor!
