My Personal Style: Fall Layering Tricks September 29 2016, 2 Comments
The sun starts to set a little earlier and there’s an undeniable crisp chill in the air... Season of layering and chic outerwear has officially begun!
Yup, fall is around the corner indeed and for many fashion lovers, it's favourite period of the year! Why? Because it's time for some serious layering and layering your clothes is one of the most effective ways to put together a unique and interesting outfit.
When layering, you have to try contrasting colours as well as experiment with different fabrics and textures. Creating contrasts with materials such as wool, leather, fur, silk and knitwear will add an extra dimension to your look. Beside the stylish part, layering is also super practical during transitional weather period, when temperatures tend to vary a lot from morning till dawn. You just take off the coat or jacket and you're quickly adapted for warmer temperature.
In this look, I played with many different materials - leather, faux leather, wool, fur and knit and black colour was a base for the colourful pieces such as our best seller ruffle coat in turquoise, purple python skin boots and or amazing fur collar in beautiful mix of black, silver, purple and blue. Adding an unexpected twist to the look was crucial because of the colour matching, so pop of red zebra pattern in a form of the cutest little clutch, attached to my bigger tote was the perfect eye catching accessory to complement this layered fall look.
Dare to go bold this fall and create unexpected layering looks that are sure to make you stand out.

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: 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!

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 3 - Sibiu August 17 2016, 2 Comments
Sibiu is a beautiful city in Transylvania, located 215 km north-west of Bucharest. Now the capital of Sibiu County, in the past - between 1692 and 1791 and 1849-1865 Sibiu was the capital of the Principality of Transylvania.
Sibiu is one of the most important cultural centre of Romania and was designated the European Capital of Culture for the year 2007. You just can not help yourself but to fall in love with it, once you are there. With small streets, beautiful old houses, cute restaurants, bakeries and antique shops, Sibiu is almost a copy of Ljubljana's old town, my home, so I guess this is one of the reasons I was immediately stunned by this adorable place. When there, just relax, enjoy good food, nice people and get carried away by amazing repertoires - Sibiu has three theatres, philharmonic orchestra and an annual festival of performing arts, called Sibiu International Theatre Festival. Interestingly - the old city of Sibiu was ranked as "Europe's 8th most idyllic place to live" by Forbes in 2008.
Rich with museums and theatres, Sibiu is a place to see for every culture lover out there.

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: Miramare in marinière July 01 2016, 3 Comments
Marinière stripes are big every season, for years, over and over again. And, to be honest, one of the most stylish summer trends you can never go wrong with.
And, what is great about marine stripes even more is that when you mix them up together, they look extremely cool and fashionable and you don’t have to worry about mixing them in the right way (when it comes down to other patterns, you do have to be careful when mixing & matching them though).
Of course, me being me, I just had to add some extra unexpected twist to the look and complement it with our gorgeous The Lie by JPZ mint python effect leather clutch together with some other statements, such as chunky jewellery and studded belt.
Oh, and the sunsets at castello Miramare are just outstanding…

My Personal Style: White Button Down, Jeans & Straw Bag To Never Fail In Summer June 23 2016, 2 Comments
You can never be overdressed or underdressed with a cool pair of jeans, beautiful white button down and a chic straw bag. I dare to claim that these are actually the essential pieces in summer months. Throw on flats and go cosy chic or elevate the look with a pair of beautiful heels and you are ready to rock beautiful summer evenings.
This set of pictures was taken in marvelous Krka National Park, located along the middle-lower course of the Krka River in central Dalmatia, in Šibenik-Knin county. With its magnificent waterfalls, this beautiful sight, counted among Croatia's most famous, truly is a must see.
With the outstanding nature, the scenery was just right for this casual combo for comfortable yet stylish sightseeing.

My Personal Style: Aloha Sunday Sunset June 19 2016, 1 Comment
Unlike studio strobes, natural lighting changes hour to hour, day to day, season to season, and of course, location to location. It’s always something new and different! But for me, the most beautiful is the summer sunset light, always making you look warm & beautiful. The last 30 minutes of daylight, on up to about 20 minutes after sunset are definitely the best recipe on how to make amazing photos for your blog, Facebook, Instagram, or well, just for yourself. Now, from the light, let’s talk about dressing down that has never looked so cool as now, with our stunning fringed summer shoppers. Agree? I like to go casual on Sundays, but still want to create a special, comfortable, yet chic look at the same time.
Special is our IT BAG of the season from cruise 2017 Señorita collection, golden fringed bag with bamboo handles, casual are jeans and this fun sweater, while comfortable yet chic represent this retro inspired cool pair of Renini sandals.

My Personal Style: Red Jumpsuit For Saturday Night Out June 11 2016, 1 Comment
Red is the color of extremes. It's the color of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure. Having said that, it is the perfect color for Saturday night out and what better way than doing it effortless cool in our luxurious all-in-one.
Yes, jumpsuits are effortless, chic and fun. But there are some good tips and tricks you should follow :
- Finding a jumpsuit that fits your body perfectly is key to looking polished and put together. Don’t wear anything too tight or too loose.
- Don’t loose your figure. A lot of jumpsuits have either a cloth belt or you can easily add your own belt to define your waist if the jumpsuit isn’t tailored. Emphasising your waist is a great way to give you that curvy look.
- A jumpsuit can easily be dressed up for a formal event, when the style of the jumpsuit is appropriate. All you have to do is accessorize it to fit the party.
So, this Saturday, add some attitude to your wardrobe, make a statement at the party and go for our sexy red jumpsuit, spiced up with green tassel pochette!

My Personal Style: Weekend Uniform - Saturday Superstar May 14 2016, 4 Comments
There is something easy about throwing on a beautiful statement jacket when the weather is warm that just feels right. No fuss kind of dressing. Add in your favourite jeans and sneakers and you are set for exploring weekend adventures.
When creating an outfit I always focus on the details – what makes it different, special? In this case, contrasts play a significant role - stylish and elegant peplum jacket with edgy zipper, silver metallic tote, lots of jewellery, hair on point, red lips and bold bra paired with simple jeans, tee and sporty Adidas Superstars is what makes this look unique and effortlessly chic. Just the kind of effect you wish on Saturday, right?
