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: 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: Parka Weather With Pattern Drama March 05 2016, 1 Comment
Dressing up should be fun and you should enjoy in it. And when you mix and match or try to invent new ways of wearing certain pieces - this is when it becomes really fun.
As many of you, who follow our brand, my work and personal style, may already know, I love mixing different patterns, textures and sophisticated layering. So, today I went for pepita, check and aztec pattern with many layers. Or so it seem, because of this amazing double sided scarf, which is great to elevate your style, especially when worn with a belt, so you can nicely accentuate your figure despite the chunky knits.
And talking of knits - is there anything better in a cold weather than bundling up in a chic chunky knit piece? Nope, I don't think so. It’s the perfect combination of comfort and style and the key to pulling off this trend is mixing up textures and making sure that you don’t drown in your knit piece. As mentioned above, embrace the oversized silhouette of your chunky knit sweater with a statement belt and make sure to balance it with more sleek piece down below, such as a pair of amazing leggings. Doing it up in leather ups or statement parka elevates the style even further. The cozy textures of the chunky knit worn with the sexy and dangerous feel of leather equal amazing street look for sure.

My Personal Style: Weekend Chic February 20 2016, 3 Comments
It’s not so often I post casual outfits – I like my blog to feel special so I dress up! But this Saturday was for relaxing and so a perfect day for some comfortable, yet chic weekend attire. The over the knee flat boots trend is nothing new and to be honest - it always work, when you want to be comfortable but still looking elegant. Beside this stunning Alberto Gozzi boots, the key was really to elevate them also with the rest of the look – luxurious fur trimmed camel jacket, statement bag, sexy belt to emphasise your posture and super cool sunglasses. With faux leather pants the look instantly feels a bit more modern and rockish.

My Personal Style: Adding Drama To An Outfit February 04 2016, 5 Comments
Adding drama to an outfit is a fun and exciting way to create interest. Drama isn’t reserved just for fancy events, but can be applied to everyday style. Today’s look I added two pieces that create drama – over the knee boots and a flowing trench coat. Longer length pieces inherently create drama. My trench creates drama not only because of the length, but also in its movement when it dances with the wind. For the sake of today’s post, I am focusing on longer length pieces to create dramatic interest. I chose high boots and a long trench, but also try longer tops (high-low tops work great too), long scarves, wearing a dress as a top paired with pants underneath, or even wearing super long, street skimming flares paired with high heels or platforms to create that extra level of excitement. When pieces stand apart because of their longer length it creates eye-catching interest and elevates the outfit.

My Personal Style: Check And Leopard - Fall Pattern Mixing & Matching vol. 3 November 11 2015, 4 Comments
Pattern mixing & matching style guide continues... Have you ever wonder how to wear different prints at once, without looking like you got dressed in the dark? When in doubt, this one always works:
1. Use printed accessories for a lighter touch.
Dominating red check print can be beautifully accented with brown leopard accessory. A pair of leopard shoes or a fabulous tote will always do the trick. In fall I absolutely love to match leopard with check pattern and playfully accenting the outfit with beautiful fur pieces, such as our iconic The Lie by JPZ green vest or/and statement jewellery, such as our tassel necklaces. For a truly dazzling appearance, layer two or even three of them and go sophisticated with Basic Minimalistic Shopper in elegant croc print.

My Personal Style: Pepita And Leopard - Fall Pattern Mixing & Matching vol. 2 November 07 2015, 5 Comments
As I already mentioned before, I love mixing and matching different patterns. When done well, this kind of looks can be considered a form of art indeed! This time, I kept it simple, elegant and chic, so I went for two basic rules. If you only just started experimenting with prints, I suggest you try this technique for a "safe" beginning:
1. Keep your fabrics in the same colour family
2. Pick two different prints that share a colour
3. Choose one print to dominate and one as an accent.
You see, classic pepita pattern works really well with not so common white leopard print. The dominating piece in this look is pepita coat, subtly accented with out beautiful The Lie by JPZ white leopard tote. Leopard pattern is timeless and there should be leopard tote in every fashionista's wardrobe. This beautiful haircalf leather with white leopard print makes this bag the kind of statement piece, that can be easily combined with dark or bright colours and thus perfect for fall, winter and many other pattern mixing and matching experiments!

My Personal Style: Travel Outfit - Fall Pattern Mixing & Matching vol. 1 October 24 2015, 5 Comments
It's been quite hectic lately, I am travelling a lot and already got the feeling that I am basically living in my suitcases. But, I love to travel, so I shouldn't complain much.
When it comes to clothing for long hour flights, I definitely prefer comfort, which can also be done in a very trendy way. However, when I fly to a business meeting, I still like to look chic. Being in a fashion business I can afford more relaxed versions of "business" look, or I should better say much more relaxed version.
What I love about fall is that there comes a whole wide spectrum of patterns that are simply not supposed to be worn in the summer, such as check pattern, which I absolutely adore. And also animal prints work much better in fall. So, this time, I went for a lot of patterns at a time - as you see, I paired stripes with check, leopard and even orange zebra pattern! Yes, I admit, I love the pattern drama!
This time, the perfect coat for my business trip to Bucharest became our black wool mid length statement coat, trimmed with black fur from our current FALL WINTER 2015/2016 collection From Russia With Love. It's just so chic, isn't it?
And yes, when travelling, I just love to wear one big bag, where I can put all the necessary stuff (and also those not so necessary, to be honest), such as our Basic Minimalistic Shopper and a smaller one, Where I keep my phone, flight ticket and passport within the reach of hand (because of course, in the big bag, you just simply can not find anything among all that stuff). You know, why wear only one bag, when you can wear two or even the third one, attached to your tote (that is of course, if you do not travel with the low cost airline company, where only one cabin bag is permitted on board – when did the travelling became so stressful???).

My Personal Style: Las Vegas Glitter October 05 2015, 3 Comments
In Las Vegas, city of lights, glitter is always a good idea, right? I love glitter pieces when styled in contrasts, cause that's what gives that chic vibe to it and prevent you from looking like a walking disco ball... So, for the first night out in Vegas, I went for a head to toe The Lie by JPZ look and paired glitter pencil skirt with a statement black blazer, that gave some rough rock touch to the whole ensemble. For a truly dazzling appearance I added some strong silver accessories. You know, in the middle of all those lights, you want to pop out from the crowd...
