FRIENDS FASHION AND THE WEDDING...

 

 It was such a beautiful mid-September Saturday afternoon. The idyllic Romantic Palace in a little village in Poland was welcoming his guests for a very special occasion-my dear friends Kasia’s and Radek’s Wedding. I was so excited to be there with them on this import for them day, I started planning the choice of my dress quite a while before and eventually decided to get the dress tailor-made to make sure it is perfect! I wanted to match the colours of the engagement ring, so I went for the 60’s inspired over the knee cornflower blue dress with many layers of tulle to add a fairy-tale effect. I opted for white clutch embellished with crystals and roman-style white high heel sandals to break the look of a good girl-after all you have to stay true to yourself :-) The cherry on top was the Audrey Hepburn inspired hair styled by my friend and amazing hair stylist Ola from Image Salon. I truly felt like a princess on the royal wedding!

 To było piękne sobotnie popołudnie w połowie września.Idylliczny Romantic Palace w małej miejscowości w Polsce powitał swoich gości na bardzo specjalnej okazji- Ślub moich drogich przyjaciol- Kasi i Radka. Byłam tak podekscytowana faktem, ze moglam być tam razem z nimi w tym waznym dla nich dniu, ze zaczełam planowanie wyboru mojej sukni sporo czasu wczesniej, i w końcu zdecydowałam się na sukienke szyta na miare aby miec pewnosc, że jest idealna! Chciałam dopasować stroj do koloru pierścionka zaręczynowego, więc postawiłam na chabrowa sukienke na kolano inspirowana projektami Dior-a z lat 60-tych wykonczona wieloma warstwami tiulu, aby dodać odrobine bajkowosci. Zdecydowałam się na biała kopertowke ozdobiona srebrnymi kryształkami i biale sandaly rzymianki na wysokim obcasie aby przełamać wygląd dobrej dziewczyny-przecież trzeba pozostać wiernym sobie:-) Wisienka na torcie byla fryzura w stylu Audrey Hepburn wykonana przez  moja kolezanka i swietna stylistke Ole z Salonu Image. Naprawdę czułam się jak księżniczka na królewskim ślubie!

OMAR MANSOOR SS15 COLLECTION AT LFW

Recently I had a great pleasure to be invited to Omar Mansoor's SS15 fashion show where he presented his 9th collection at LFW . Models wore couture gowns inspired by Dutch exotic dancer Mata Hari, who was known for her style and free-willed attitude and her eagerness to design and perform in her bespoke wardrobe with dazzling jewels.

The collection features full size ball gowns in contrasting red, turquoise and light gold colours and knee length dresses made up of Vintage lace, crepe silks and chiffons. Omar used the old technique of hand woven crochet on selected gowns  to add a touch of the romantic glamour. Other pieces feature semi-precious stones such as turquoise and rubies encrusted with embroidery on the gowns. 

The show stopper dress decorated with hand appliqué known as Rilli (an art from ancient Sindhi civilization) is produced by ‘Inaaya’ with help of female artisans of rural Sindh.

By combining classic couture crafting techniques along modern silhouettes, Omar creates an elegant look for a woman, who symbolizes the confidence, merriment and splendour. I could definitely see myself wearing one!

LONDON FASHION WEEK STREET STYLE MADNESS

 

London Fashion Week madness has finally begun -again! Every 6 months Somerset House turns into a massive catwalk not only with the amazing fashion shows taking over the courtyard but with thousands of fashion lovers photographers designers and wannabes showcasing some interesting creative and innovative outfits as well as bunch of grotesque looking youngsters pretending they know a thing or two about fashion. And this is all ok because fashion is for everyone who wants to express their personal style. I absolutely love watching crowds of fashionistas queuing to get a glimpse of what is usually reserved for industry insiders-designer trade shows with all the major fashion editors from around the globe and luxury buyers accompanied by celebrities looking for the inspiration for their next red carpet outing. Those priceless invitations are reserved for  fashion professionals and opinion makers, but if you are clever you can apply for your ticket as a blogger( you have to prove your stats before you get an approval) or queue before the show hoping there are some free spaces left (designers don't like having empty seats at the show-just doesn't look good) there is a third option actually...if you work in PR (like I do) and you are sponsoring the show you can experience both backstage and the actual show without extra hassle! That is one of the reasons why I LOVE my job-not sure if I mentioned it before but I really do! Of course as I was there t work I couldn't and shouldn't go over the top with the outfit so I opted for safe and always classy little black dress with a bit of an edge-at the end of the day it is Fashion Week:-)

DON'T LET THE SUMMER GO....

Temperatures dropping down, less and less sun and kids walking down the street in their school uniforms can only mean one thing…the summer is officially over! Lack of sun really makes me grumpy, and I wish I had a power either to control the weather or to teleport myself to sunnier places (how cool that would be!) But because my wish must remain just a wish (at least for now) I had to come up with another solution to keep up with the weather and stay positive even if the aura is slightly depressing. And as I was about to go for a therapeutic shopping trip (always works wonders for me!) the sun came out again, making me race like crazy to the park with a massive grin on my face to make the most of those last few warm days. Obviously I couldn’t wear anything else than a ultra girly dress (girl next door style), colourful  high heels and of course bare legs! My dear summer…see you next year :-)

Spadajaca temperatura coraz mniej słońca i dzieci idące ulicą w swoich szkolnych mundurkach moga oznaczać tylko jedno ...lato oficjalnie sie skonczylo! Brak słońca naprawdę wprawia mnie w zły humor, i żałuję, że nie mam mocy aby kontrolować pogodę lub teleportować się do słonecznych miejsc (ale byloby  fajnie!), Ale poniewaz moje życzenie musi pozostać tylko życzeniem (przynajmniej na razie) musiałam wymyślić inne rozwiązanie, aby ubrac się zgodnie z pogodą i pozostac pozytywna, nawet jeśli aura jest nieco przygnębiające. Bylam juz gotowa aby iść na terapeutyczne zakupy (zawsze działaja cuda dla mnie!) słońce znowu zaswiecilo! Wiec jak szalona pognalam do parku z wielkim usmiechem na twarzy, aby wykorzystac jak najlepiej tych kilka ostatnich cieplych dni. Oczywiście nie mogłam zalozyć niczego innego niż bardzo dziewczęca sukienke ( styl Girl Next Door), kolorowe szpilki i oczywiście gołe nogi! Moje kochane lato...do zobaczenia w przyszlym roku :-)
