Hey loves, I really hope you are doing amazing, and that you have been enjoying the last week. I am truly sorry for the lack of updates, but Freshers’ Week caught up on me and I enjoyed a bit of social life as well as going to work and taking care of all my responsibilities, and because the blog posts were the ones that needed the most preparation, I fell behind with them. I apologize, but you know as much as I love to post, I don’t like ignoring my friends or my life in general because I love to create memories to inspire me to write more on here. Yes, cliché, I know, but I hold on to this. because I truly believe that. Now I am back to business and ready to inspire you with a trend that has come back really strong and maaan, it’s awesome! And yes, as you would have guessed from the title (subtle, right?) I am talking about co-ords. For people that don’t know what co-ords are, where have you been? they are the two pieces outfits of the same fabric/colour/print. I never liked them, and to be even more fair with you, I really disliked them – my mum would always love the co-ord suits, and I would just avoid them at any cost. But, you know as you get older, and technically wiser (still to be confirmed) you do understand stuff and start liking things that you absolutely could not stand. Which is why I now love co-ords! I think it all started from seeing the crop-top ones, and then seeing...

Hey lovelies, As you probably know, New York Fashion Week it’s been happening for a few days already and it is buzzing with great collections! Make sure to catch up with them so that you can see all the trends that are coming up! Let me know what your favourites are! But as much as I love the collections, what I also enjoy during Fashion weeks is how cool and original people dress. It really is pure inspiration that you can just see by walking around! Remember the shots I took during Paris Fashion Week this spring? Here! Exactly like that, you walk around these people, and let their creativity inspire you! Since New York is always the starter of the Fashion Month, people would go out of their confort zones to make a statement and get noticed (trust me, there are loaaaads of people), and also is the only one that is not in Europe, so people step up their game big time! Here are the ones that I have noticed and liked, even though I’m sure I haven’t seen even half of it, but I tried to stay as updated as possible (I am not there after all), and see all the cool outfits that photographed considered interesting. With that being said, here are a few pieces that I really liked and that I believe make a great inspiration. Do you agree? Have you seen cooler ones? Shout out in the comments! x Much love, D.

Hello beautiful, I hope your week started well and that you’re enjoying your Monday so far! I thought we should start the week with some thinking about what to wear this autumn. Even though this weekend was kind of sunny and brought me back to summer mood (just strange English weather being strange) I do realize that it won’t be summer forever unfortunately and so I would have eventually to give up my summerish looks and put on some cozy sweaters! But I still have some summer vibes to show you from this unexpected summer weekend we had, and if there’s more to come, I ain’t complaining! But focusing on autumn, it might be a bit depressing with all the colours fading away giving space to a gray background, so I say we stay away from that by adding some colour to that gray view, what do you think? I never thought that colours are only for summer or that when fall comes, colours have to be fading, not at all! I love to see a red hat or an electric blue coat on the street. It just brings you back to life, isn’t it? Of course an all black errthaaang outfit always finds its place, but a little colour never hurt nobody! With that being said, here are my autumn colours, that I for sure will be looking for: Burgundy In my eyes, burgundy has autumn written all over it. It can be either lipstic, bag, hat or a huge scarf (I would not say no to a coat though). Bottom line – it has to be part...

Hi loves, Today I decided to change the focus a bit from fashion to beauty. But not make-up, not selfies and not products. But inner beauty. The most genuine beauty one can ever possess. I believe that even if so many people and communities are trying to break the norms and accentuate this beauty, so many others are still shallow and superficial, and it’s really sad. I most certainly believe that everyone can be beautiful, and it is up to you if you choose to be. And it has nothing to do with make up, plastic surgery, wealth or possesions. It has to do with how your soul is, how your soul sees the world. There are so many beautiful people I know that look nothing like the magazines, or people I know that are stunningly beautiful on the outside, but at the end of the day it is the inner beauty that matters. I read the other day that Zendaya, an 18th year old celebrity, had to deal with her parents being called “really ugly” on Twitter, just because some people were surprised that they were not magazine-perfect polished people, and instead they just looked..happy. Seriously, that’s what I saw when I saw the picture – happy, proud people. However, Zendaya, showing her inner beauty, had a beautiful response to the criticism: “First, I’m gonna pray for you. While you’re so concerned about what my parents look like, please know that these are two of the most selfless people in the world. They have chosen to spend their entire life [sic], not worried about trivial things such as...

Hey, hey! Monday is almost over, you did it! You stood up and started yet another week, congrats! I truly hope your Monday went great and that you are ready to make the rest of the week even better! And to help you do that, I will talk some fashion inspiration today, giving you some ideas, because we all know that if there is a reason while you are late, that is because you could not decide what to wear, again… I don’t know if it’s because of this weather, my mood or what, but ever since I came to England I started having a crush on black and white. And honestly, now that I look outside the window and I see the raindrops gathering upon it, yeah, it might be the weather… Since I started feeling inspired by this combination, my next natural step was to try and express it. I began to get creative with the camera and play with shades, angles and light and I got some really nice shots. So I decided that, for as long as this crush stays with me, I will share a monochrome picture every morning with the hashtag #MonochromeMorning. Giving the fact that I don’t really feel fondly about my morning wake up call, I thought it was the best moment to share a colour free post! Up next on my “express your creativity” scale is a monochrome outfit. Ideally, more than one. So I did a bit of research and found a few outfits that I would like to invest into. I feel like it’s such a good combination,...

You know I’m an endless dreamer and a hopeless romantic, and fashion wise, what brings you closest to romance and dreams are the long dresses that would make anyone that tries them feel like a princess. And who doesn’t want to feel like a princess? I know for sure I do, because what made me fall for fashion were these beautiful, long dresses and they still make me fall for them every single Haute Couture week. I see them, I admire them, and I pick my favourites for when I truly become a princess which I would want to wear. There are collections that I admire season after season, like the timeless dresses from Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad. They are the ones that always have the princess dresses and are some beautiful shows to be watched. Others, like Dolce & Gabbana always amaze me with their combination of class & extravaganza that never fails. Some choose to combine styles, some to stay loyal to the classic long, gowns. And some, like Viktor & Rolf did this year, just take it to the next level and show innovation finds ints place in the Haute Couture culture. Viktor & Rolf amazed through a collection of wearable art and I loved it! As much as I love the classic, long dresses, something new like this just gives me that spark of inspiration that we all need sometimes! With that being said, below are my favourites, gowns that I cannot stop staring at or creations that inspire me, or designs that let me speechless out of the collections that I liked the...
