Week 25: Walter Baker. My NYC Looks and WB SALE!

Walter Baker is one of my favourite American designers, and you can often see me rocking his stylish trench coats, flirty tops and sexy dresses. I have decided to dedicate this Theme Week to Walter Baker because I have so many looks to share with you, and many of the items I am sharing are now on an amazing SALE!

Walter Baker’s clothes are for the confident, sexy woman who knows her worth. The line is very feminine, but don't let the ruffles and floral patterns fool you. Every item has a very strong hint of seduction and power! 

If you are in the US, shop at www.walterbaker.com and for international orders I suggest checking Walter Baker’s range on Outnet.com

Week 23: La Semaine Française. Colours of France!

Welcome to the French Week on my blog! For my first look Française I opted for the proud, bold colours of the French flag: Blue, White and Red. The highlight of this look is my Chanel-esque tweed jacket that I found at the Make Me Chic online store. The jacket is classy, beautiful and looks more expensive than it actually is.

I completed the look with another classic French fashion staple– a striped top, blue jeans, a bright red hat, pretty flats and my all time favourite Chanel bag.

Week 2: War & Peace. Russian Winter Fairytale

Russian winter fairytale love war and peace peasant look Walter Baker

I have created several War & Peace inspired fashion looks, especially the ones that I could imagine Natasha Rostova wearing if she would magically appear in our era.

Here is my first look, the one I call 'Russian Winter Fairytale'. It has a very soft, feminine touch to it. The outfit is a little bit peasant-y, but still very rich in fabric and somehow noble; something Natasha would wear when she and other Rostovs visited her uncle in the village of Mihkaylovka. There, in his wooden hut, surrounded by peasants and dancing to a Balalaika, Natasha wonderfully connects with the spirit of simple Russian men and women.

Of course such open shoulders are a little bit more risky than what women usually wore during the beginning of the 19th century. Additionally, women of the aristocracy during that era would wear their hair up. However, films often disregard historical facts, and I wanted to show more of Natasha's closeness to simple folk by braiding my hair in this look.
