New York, Grand Street

Posted on November 30, 2014

Hi guys! How was your Black Friday shopping spree? I myself was closed to maxing out my credit card, and now my conscience is aching. Throw back to my trip to New York, for the Alexander Wang x H&M event. I dashed into Reformation shop no more than an hour after I landed. It’s my ultimate favourite shop and so it happened it was located 10 yards from my hotel. The dress is a bit unusual. It’s longer than something I would normally wear, but nevertheless I feel very ‘me’ in it. Maybe that’s something that one has to grow to eventually, to accept different, and perhaps more conservative lengths. In any case, the dress is absolutely beautiful, and I love it. A big whooping thanks goes to my sweetest Jim for these photos!
Have a nice week everyone!

New York Diary

Posted on October 26, 2014

I want to share with you some Instagram shots I posted during my stay in New York last week. The truth is that only iPhone can capture the moment, because it’s always with us and it takes a few seconds to catch the right moment and take a picture. This time I was staying in Soho in Mondrian Hotel and could stroll my favourite Soho streets the whole day. I discovered a few cool spots, like Black Seed Bagels on Elizabeth Street with the best bagels in town ( nobody loves bagels as much as I do! ), Saturday NYC with a great coffee ( as they say, because I usually take tea) and a lot of surfer boys sitting outside on the benches.

I already have my favourite pieces from Alexander Wang x H&M collection. It is for sure this grey cropped sweatshirt and a black leather backpack.

A view from my room was breathtaking, on the first picture you can see my view while taking a shower. Then me and Jim in Soho. And finally a shot of pumpkins, because it’s all about Haloween in NY recently. Then early (sunny) morning in Chelsea where I moved in for the weekend. I feel like home in Chelsea, it’s much more cosy than Soho.

Last two shots. Sunrise in Manhattan. I always come to New York for a few days only, so it’s hard to change my brain into a new time zone. I wake up at 4 am and go to sleep at 8 pm. As a result I can watch these beautiful sunrises in NY which are always amazing. Then me in Soho wearing Alice x Olivia coat when the temperature went 10 Degrees down during one night. it was freezing cold.

Alexander Wang x H&M launch event in New York

Posted on October 21, 2014

When I heard the news about Alexander Wang x H&M collaboration I was extremely excited. Alexander Wang has been one of my favourite designers for years now. It was a huge pleasure to be invited to New York for the lanch party and the whole event including a wonderfull conference during which he answered many questions and gave an insight to his work. That evening the collection had its first presentation featuring parkour performance and Missy Eliot’s gig. In the end Alexander came out and run a loop track which was really sweet and underlined the sportiness of the collection.

For the evening I was wearing a sequined dress from Isabel Marant, Valentino bag and H&M x Isabel Marant boots.

Oh, and one other thing. I was accomodated in Mondrian Soho, one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever had a chance to stay in. New York, it’s always a pleasure! Thank you H&M for having me!

Golden hour in Soho // NYFW, Day 4

Posted on September 21, 2014

This is my outfit from the 4th day of New York Fashion Week. I was wearing my new Reformation transparent dress which is easily the most beautiful thing I have ever owned. The pictures were taken straight after the TIBI show in Chelsea. The sun was at that point in the sky that it was shining golden, so we just jumped into the cab, straight to Soho and took a few snaps. The light shawn through my dress and to be honest I looked a bit naked, but the effect was incredible. The weather was like that most of my stay, which was a really nice change, since I could go round bare legged once again, so summery! Also I wanted to talk a bit about my new Stella McCartney shoes. These were probably the most hunted down shoes I ever bought. They were sold out in every single department store in London and online stores around the world, and when I was about to give up, someone returned the last pair in my little size 35 to the flagship Stella store in Mayfair. I was so excited, because they went well with all my outfits and were super comfortable to walk in. And then a massive let down.. I got horrible blisters! They were so bad I couldn’t move, I was beating myself up trying to figure out what was wrong with them, and then it dawned on me. Stella is vegetarian and she never uses animal materials in her garments, so the shoes weren’t made of real leather. And that was the problem, because synthetic leather + skin = blisters and irritation. I’m all for animal rights but one has to put their opinions on hold when making something as important as a shoe to ensure it is wearable and doesn’t inflict pain. I’m really disappointed in them, these would be the perfect shoes if they were real leather. Now, I’m still nursing my blisters almost two weeks later.

West Village

Posted on September 17, 2014

I came back from NY a few days. I had a great time during fashion week, not only because of the shows I had a chance to see, but also because I could explore NY better than one month ago and spend a time with my sister who I haven’t seen for a long time. I fell in love in NY more than ever. We’ve been staying in a lovely The Jade hotel in Greenwich Village, as I wrote on my Instagram one of my favourite area in New York. Maybe it’s because it brings me back Portobello and Notting Hill. The architecture is quite similiar, there is the same artistic atmosphere in the air and it’s more green than other parts of Manhattan. You know that flowers and trees always make me smile and I just felt like home in West Village.

Let’s talk about my outfit. I was wearing my number one piece from A/W14 season, a jumper from Isabel Marant runway collection I’ve been thinking since I saw it in Paris last February. It turned out to be super warm, oversized and suits to all bottoms I wear everyday, from trousers to skirts. Sounds like a perfect autumn jumper! This time I matched it with a simple black skirt, high heel sandals and a gold hoop earrings which I wear pretty much everyday. They give that cool bohemian look and brings my back this video clip. ( 2:35 sec ! ). Stay tuned for more pictures from New York!
