Madison Avenue

Posted on April 6, 2014

( wearing COS coat, H&M lace skirt, Balenciaga boots)

I was browsing my pictures from New York in February and I found this shot taken in Madison Avenue. It was a freezing morning in Upper East Side and we were on the way to the favourite local cafe for breakfast. I don’t have to tell you it was really hard to take an outfit photos when the termomether shows no more than minus 15 Degrees. This is the only shot we took, but I still like it, shows that New York vibe. I was wearing Balenciaga boots, COS coat and a lace skirt.

Other thing I want to tell you. I’ve just started my own ask.fm/alice_zielasko HERE. From now you can ask me a question. I’ll do my best to answer it.

Le Marais

Posted on March 27, 2014

Let’s go back to Paris once again, to Le Marais to be exact, where we spent a lot of time during Paris Fashion Week last month. I was wearing a jacket and bag from Barbara Bui, made of denim printed leather ( check out denim leather s/s14 collection here), old skinny jeans with Pollini by Nicholas Kirkwood Odette heels. It started to rain heavily during our photoshoot, so we had to take pictures in literally two minutes . So annoying.
During my last day in Paris I went for a walk to 3rd arrondissement. It was my first time there and I found it really beautiful. Reminds me of Cracow and Kazimierz an old jewish district. I promised myself to explore it more when I’m next time in Paris.

Paris Fashion Week day 1

Posted on February 28, 2014

Bonjour from Paris. If you follow me on Instagram you could check my updates from Paris from Wednesday. I came here for a few super exciting projects. First of all, H&M Studio A/W14 show in Grand Palais and the presentation which took place the day after in a beautiful interior of Westin Hotel. What I can say is that I can’t wait for autumn. Maybe not for the autumn weather, but this collection is definatelly something I’d love to wear next season. You can see few of my favourite pieces on the pictures below. During my first day I was wearing my new camel coat with a dress, parisian style hat and boots. In the evening I changed into a bra top, a skirt and silver heels for the party. You can follow me on Instagram for more updates from Paris. xx

New York, Manhattan

My last week’s trip to New York was short but absolutely amazing. I was invited there by Virgin Holidays to spend a few nights in The Surrey hotel located on the Upper East Side, which, in my opinion, is the most beautiful area of Manhattan. The view from my room, located on the 17th floor, was faboulous, especially early in the morning when I could watch sunrise over New York skyscrapers. The one possitive thing about jetlag is that you can’t sleep at 4 am, so you can see how a big city is waking up for a busy day. A view to remember!
The Surrey Hotel was located between Central Park and Madison Avenue. There were so many cool boutiques and restaurants around and great spots for taking photos. Unfortunatelly a freezing cold temperature didn’t allow me to take more shots outside. A friendly stuff in the hotel took care of us perfectly, so we were enjoying our time in a hotel between the shows. And I have to mention about the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten. It was a brioche french toast with maple syrop, orange butter and apple pear served in the hotel cafe. I wish I could prepare it by myslef at home.

Thanks a lot to the Virgin Holiday, The Surrey and All Saints for a great time! I’m already planning my next trip to NY in spring!

Yellow dress // Barcelona

Posted on February 7, 2014

Some more pictures we took with James in Barcelona. It felt like it was midsummer there, so I’m actually trying to swich back to ‘winter mood’ at the moment. On Sunday I’m flying to New York for fashion week! I’m super exited but scared at the same time. Snow and low temperatures are not my cup of tea. But I can’t complain! New York is always a good idea! If you have any tips, can recommend any cool spots for pictures or want to have a coffee/drink with me, let me know! Coming back to sunny Barcelona. I was wearing a yellow dress, Balenciaga boots and a furry bag, which I use as a pillow to take a nap on the plane : ) ) . I can’t say I love yellow, what’s more I don’t even like yellow. But this time, in Barcelona I decided to wear something bright and different than black/white like I usually wear. Hope you like it too. xx
