Week 29: NYFW Recap. My NYFW Looks

They say you never forget your first NYFW, and I couldn't agree more! It was a mad week full of runway shows, bloggers events, showroom meetings, and surprises from Mother Nature. 

This week I am going to share my NYFW looks, videos and photographs from the events, and give you an advice on how to get invited to NYFW if you have just started your blog!

I really enjoyed Malan Breton's collection as it is so close to my style. It has that feel of a vintage class, sophistication and a touch of a luxury that I adore. Here are some of my favourite looks from Malan Breton's FW 2017 runways show:

Week 27: The Start of 2017. The Return of Tartan.

Wow. What a year 2016 has been! I moved to New York, married my love, launched this blog and my online shop, travelled to gorgeous places, and so much more!

Those loyal readers who follow me on Instagram (I love you!) know that I have been on the craziest, most wonderful "tour" over the last few weeks. I spent a very cozy Christmas at home with Ben and his family in Utah, and then my love took me on our Scandinavian adventure. 

The trip has been splendid and surprising in many ways, however I feel I have been living on an airplane for way too long now!

All throughout December, Ben and I flew back and forth between New York and Park City, and after Christmas up until now we were hopping from Moscow to Stockholm ---> Kiruna ---> Copenhagen ---> Oslo ---> Stockholm ---> Amsterdam. Phew!  I promise I will share a proper travel diary with you as soon as I get back to New York... and after at least one day of proper sleep and some serious unpacking.

For now, catch out this sexy, casual look that I shot with Dennis. The Old New Year celebration falls on the 14th of January, so it is still totally appropriate to have a Christmas tree in some photographs. :)

The highlight (or I shall I say Highland? ;)) of the look is this plaid skirt from ZARA, matched with a sexy Zaful top and knee high Steve Madden boots. The tartan print is definitely becoming more and more popular, especially after the crazy success of the whole Outlander universe. At least to me, tartan is always a good reminder of Jamie Fraser ;) Who else loves tartan because of Outlander?!

 

Week 26: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Winter Wonderland in Laduree.

Laduree in Soho, NYC has some of the coziest Christmas decorations in the city. I love going there wearing a warm sweater to drink Marie Antoinette tea and to read a book (I just started The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton).

Today's look is one of my favourite of the season, and I am so excited to share it with you. I am wearing a super warm, grey sweater from Shein that looks perfect with my arctic blue, fox fur vest bought in Baku, Azerbaijan in Снежная Королева. I also can't stop wearing white jeans as they make every outfit look so fresh. The cherry on top of my marshmallow babe look (that's what Ben calls it!) is my grey Louis Vuitton bag.

Week 24: Candy Shop. Winter Pastels

Winter is indeed coming, and for many people it means foregoing dressing up, wrapping yourself in layers of black and grey, abandoning high heels in favour of comfortable boots and locking up your flirty skirts. This Theme Week I wanted to show you that even your cold weather outfits can be heartwarming, fun and candylicious! 

And if you can't be convinced to wear pretty pastels when temperatures drop below 50°, at least stock up on delicious candy from shops I will be recommending to you this week.

Week 23: La Semaine Française. Très chic

A plain, black turtleneck should be in every woman's wardrobe. I found mine at Land's End and I can't stop wearing it this fall. A black turtleneck looks chic and goes with practically any skirt or pair of jeans under the sun. For this photoshoot I decided to pair it with a dreamy, floral skirt from Make Me Chic and light pastel accessories.  I think my outfit turned out very flirty and original, and I was even photographed by Glamour magazine's street-style reporters!
