Hey you, How’s 2018 so far? Did you get back into your rhytm after holidays, lots of food, sleep, parties and family time? Don’t worry, it takes a bit, take your time, you’ll get there. That’s what I’m telling myself as well, I had a slow start to the year, but it allowed me to really think things through and figure out what I want to focus on this year. It also allowed me to spend more time with my family, my close friends who recharged me and gave me plenty of energy to last me a while, hopefully until I see them again. I did less work that I had set myself to do because I thought spending time with them and all this recharging is more beneficial and it will also allow me, when I get back to things, to start again strong and go full speed ahead! So now that slow motion start is going on fast forward and I’m ready to get back to business and go make 2018 my year. I’m currently at the airport, ready to board, and I must say, this is my favourite place to write articles. I’m in ‘no man’s land’ with a destination ahead and hopes and dreams that need some work done for them to come true. Also, this is the airport where I’ve had the saddest departures and happiest arrivals, so it kinda became my place where I think about my life, make plans, set goals. Hope you’re ready to work your way through this year and make it your best yet! Don’t forget to also enjoy...

Hello hello, How is it already winter and how are we only 6 weeks away from Christmas? It’s beyond me. And I know you’ve heard this a gazillion times and it’s a world-known cliché, but time flies, man! Like seriously, this year is almost over? Unbelievable! The amount of things that changed this year is huge, but let’s not get to the reflective post on the year just yet, it’s still November, right? Talking about time flying, my last post was on London Fashion Week and I was away with business. Ever since, I travelled a bit more around, but with less work in mind. For starters, I returned to my homie Worcester for a couple of days to throw the mortarboard and graduate. It was such a perfect day, I felt very proud and grateful to be surrounded by my family and friends for my celebrations. Right after (and I mean right after – I didn’t bother to include sleep in my schedule) I went to Paris for a study trip at the Institut Français de la Mode to get some insight on the luxury fashion market, eat from as many boulangeries as possible, cheer glasses of French wines and indulge myself with pretty macarons. And as I usually get inspired from the places I travel, Paris is no exception, it has that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that makes all French people look effortlessly chic – no overflow of accessories, no layering, no overdoing it. I love that. I feel like my style is constantly changing and I’m very keen on trying out different pieces and see what works...

Hello darlings, I have truly missed this, missed writing, missed you! I cannot believe my last post was in June, whaaaat? Time truly flies. And I know I ended that post with the willingness to keep writing and get back to regular posting, and for a while I really thought I would! But I ended up reaching a different conclusion and took this 3 months break, and I thought it’s time I’ll get back to it and start by telling you why… In June I have just finished my bachelor degree and as much as it has been an amazing experience, got out of it with a First Class degree, many friends and invaluable memories, I also felt the need for time away. It’s been a very intense year where I struggled at times to stay composed and fully committed to everything I got involved in. Knowing that, I planned my summer accordingly and it was all about travelling, spending quality time with friends and family and figuring out my next steps. I even debated changes for this baby, Destray, but as good things take time, I figured I could keep posting in the meantime, because – let me tell you – while I was travelling I shot so much content and I am way too excited to share everything with you. But I am taking it one step at a time – one of the lessons I have learnt this summer and part of the new adult version of Diana, whom I’ve noticed is changing by the day so I am just trying to get to...

Hey loves, Today’s inspiration post is about young talent and hard work! Is about a designer who worked her way through university, and her talent got recognized and therefore she got really well-known! And no wonder she did, as soon as I found out about her, I fell for a pair of shoes created by her! So today I shall talk to you about a living proof that believing in yourself and your talent, combined with hard work does get you places! The designer I am talking about is Sophia Webster and she is a shoe designer that just launched her last collection at London Fashion Week yesterday! However, Sophia managed to be one of the London Fashion Week designers after a lot of work and exposure that got her amazing creations recognized! She graduated from a BA degree and a MA degree specialized in footwear that put her in the spotlight and brought her numerous awards, such as the British Fashion Award for Emerging Accessories Designer or the New Gen Award for all her first three seasons she launched! This beautiful piece above is still my favourite of her designs and has a pretty high place on my wish list! Even though it was launched for Autumn/Winter 2015, it is my number one! Buut, she launched a great collection yesterday as for Spring/Summer 2016 in a really interesting set and I am sure I can pick a few pieces to add on to my wish list from there too! Actually, what I like about her designs is that they are unique, but still wearable! It’s not one of...

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...
