My Personal Style: Take A Little Coffee Break September 18 2016, 6 Comments
The importance of rituals... I guess the need for ritual is a basic human instinct, as urgent as our need for food, shelter and love. Everybody, everywhere seems to be busy and stress is becoming an assumption of modern life. So, it's important to take time for yourself, even if only half an our a day. I always love to take some time while being busy in Ljubljana city center and just take a little coffee break, sit down, relax and observe the people rushing around, some dressed really well and therefore being my inspiration and food for my soul... So, here I am, taking some time off during a busy day, wearing my absolute favorites: The Lie by JPZ statement shirt from SS 16 CiTy cHiC collection & black croc shopper with this amazing leopard coat from the latest FW 16/17 Haute Hippie collection. Yes, always, every fall, there is a leopard trend fashioistas just can't avoid, making it urban, edgy and super cool!

Travel Diary: Romania Part 2 - Clubbing August 14 2016, 1 Comment
I’ve seen a lot of the world and visited many parties. But, no one does it better than the Romanians. I love club Loft in Bucharest. It’s the perfect fusion of amazing kitchen, bar, breath taking architecture, good music and amazing party. The concept of dining which slowly transforms to partying is simply the best for me. With this original concept Loft generates its own special energy. Like they say – to truly understand what Loft is all about, you have to be there at least once. And I promise – you won’t regret it! There, you truly start to realize that dining could happen at a spiritual level.
So, now being at Mamaia beach, very well known for amazing beach clubs, visiting Loft Mamaia was a must. They open at 3PM, serving amazing drinks and lunch and eating delicious food spontaneously turns into a party. Yes, the art is, that you barely notice transition…
And what is party without amazing friends? Meet my party animal, The Lie by JPZ Stylemaker Buta Oana Elena! I guess I am a very lucky person. Through my work as a designer, I’ve met so many amazing women that became my great source of inspiration. But some of this relationships turned to great friendships and Oana with her Otto are certainly one of them.
Visiting a beach club also demands a slightly different type of beach outfit. I love to work around a simple bikini, elevating it with silk tunic or scarf, belt, clutch and a lot of jewellery. Jewellery stack stack stack + layer layer layer was a key outfit component this time and I just loved the classic yet sexy result I achieved with it in the end. On the other hand - I loved how Oana worked around a simple white t-shirt, making her statement bra with The Lie by JPZ belt & fringed clutch the focal point of her look. Chic with a sprinkle of boho and a lot, a lot of sexy, Oana surely makes one of our favourite The Lie by JPZ Stylemakers!

I love twist in an outfit. An unexpected accessory always does the trick. You might think that with elegant pants, blouse and pumps there is no other choice but a classic tote to go with. Well, you are wrong... Summer straw bag makes the look cool, fresh and extremely stylish!

My Personal Style: Flare, Lace & Metallics For A Sunny Sunday April 17 2016, 3 Comments
These warm sunny days are just perfect to embrace one of the hottest trends right now – the flares!
Yup ladies, get the latest 70’s trend and go for flare, paired with white lace and an elegant, well tailored white jacket – you know, how much we love contrasts… Flare jeans are great if you're looking for a fashion forward twist on classic denim jeans and look incredibly chic when styled with metallic pumps, oversized bag and a classic jacket (if, like me, you don’t want to go too much boho). So, if you've spent the past few years religiously living in your skinny jeans, you are not alone. But with the return of '70s style, the flares are back and they are better than ever!

My Personal Style: Saturday Night Black Textures April 16 2016, 4 Comments
Black always works, no doubt about. With it, you can never go wrong, though you might tend to be a little bit boring... So, step out of your comfort zone, just for a bit (or quite a lot actually) and play with different textures - a lot of textures. Combine different materials and go for a few statement pieces - yes, you can definitely do that, when creating a monochromatic look. In the end, elevate your look with a bit of metallic sparkle, such as our fringed clutch from the latest SS 2016 City Chic collection and you're ready to rock the night away...

My Personal Style: 90's Are Back And So Are Chokers! March 28 2016, 3 Comments
The 90’s are back, and show no signs of going anywhere anytime soon, and so are chokers!! But, instead of reaching back in time and throwing on the black plastic wire choker from your teenage years, find a classic and chic update with a modern metal hardware or just a simple leather strap which absolutely works 24:7 - from casual look to glamorous evening gown!

My Personal Style: Green With Envy January 22 2016, 3 Comments
In fashion, there is always a good reason to make a statement. Strong statement. Whether with your style in general or just with a strong piece, you should do it and enjoy in it.
Fringes are hot. Fringed bags are super hot. And when combined with a timeless model, such as our trapezoid family totes, in eye catching combination of black patent leather and poisonous green soft nappa, it surely will make people around you green with envy.

My Personal Style: The Hottest Fashion Colour Right Now and The Hottest Coat Right Now January 19 2016, 4 Comments
The slightly dusty yellow colour was a true hit on the red carpet at the Golden Globe 2016 a week ago and while celebrities like Jennifer Lopez showed us how to rock it on a red carpet, here at The Lie by JPZ we surely know how to wear it any day! Our statement ruffled coat from Fall Winter 2015/2016 collection is an absolute stunner, a true statement piece, that will elevate any look. I love it, wear it all the time and here is an example of an elegant, yet still edgy look for a busy working day. I pried it with extremely cool leather skirt, also from FW 15/16 collection and black and white satin blouse from our SS 15 collection. I added another two statement to complete the look - our chunky wide belt and the cutest black and white cross body bag from calf skin.
So ladies, do you dare?

Season's Must: Lara's Hat November 11 2015, 3 Comments
Whether you live in a big city or a small snowy town, chances are that temperatures are very low at this time of year, making us rely on super warm coats, scarves, boots and - here come's the best part - hats! Yes, here at The Lie by JPZ we absolutely love chill weather, because this is when you get the chance to wear all kinds of hats.
There are many different style hats that will keep your head warm throughout the winter months, but nothing does the trick like a gorgeous fur hat, known also as Lara's hat from the iconic Dr. Zhivago movie. These beauties will keep you as warm as can be despite the cold temperatures and strong wind. And what is best is that they’re incredibly easy to match with any outfit, since they add just the right amount of drama to it and also a tremendously chic statement.
What's your favourite The Lie by JPZ Lara's hat for the season? White, brown, red, green or black?
XOXOXO JPZ
My Personal Style: White Bride In Valley Of Fire October 17 2015, 9 Comments
Valley of Fire is located near Las Vegas in state of Nevada and it derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs, 150 million years ago. Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the beautiful, super photogenic landscape. And so it was a must to make some beautiful editorial pictures there. Blue sky and red rocks were just calling for a white contrast, such as this chic ensemble of stone embellished jacket and long mermaid skirt.
Looking for a winter wedding dress? This look is absolutely perfect, since the jacket has long sleeves, not to mention the fact that you will look absolutely stunning and innovative, going for a long evening skirt, matched with peplum jacket. And the embellished shoulders – aren’t they just sooooo adorable?

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!
