Beauty Necessity - Red Lipstick

Item that you need to carry in your tote always, apart from iphone and wallet ? RED LIPSTICK

It's a perfect beauty product, that can make you look chic even in a pair of jeans and sneakers.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about red lipstick ? Gwen Stefani.

The No Doubt singer doesn't leave home without putting on red lipstick, she says that without it, she feels as If she was nude.  What is your take on Red Lipstick ? Take it or leave it ?

Pink - The New Black ?

No, it is not what you think. I'm most definately not trying to dethrone black from it's rightful position of the basic color shade. I just just came up with the idea of this post, by looking on the runways and street style coverage during S/S 2014 Fashion Week.  

Pink doesn's have to be assossiated with Paris Hilton or the "Legally Blonde" movie. There are various shades of pink (from baby pink, coral pink, puse, french rose to ruby and salmon pink) that don't look as cheap as the neon ones. Although, you may think that this colour shade should rather be worn, during Spring/Summer season, it is not so at all. An oversize baby pink wool coat is one of the hottest item this season !

If you don't feel comfortable wearing a major piece of clothing in pink, go for a beanie, or a pair of training sneakers that will bright up th whole look :)

Closet Must Have - Biker Boots

 Grunge is without a doubt one of the biggest trends this season, and so are biker boots which are a crucial element of it.  The great thing about this type of footwear, is that you can wear it both in summer and in winter. Biker boots go well with a flirty dress (check out the look of Miranda Kerr in a Topshop dress) or skirt as well as with a casual pair of jeans (take note from Olivia Palermo in Report Jude Moto Boots).

If you want to invest in a great pair of boots this season, buy biker boots, you will not regret it ;)

Star Style - Alexa Chung

You can say many things about Alexa - she is the British "IT Girl", fashion icon, model, tv presenter, DJ, 

and at top of this - a writer. I just bought her brand new book entitled (guess what?) IT.

 I'm not going to write anything about the book unless I finish it.

 Instead, I am going to dedicate this post to her incredible, one-of-a-kind style. Alexa is a genius when it comes to mixing high street fashion with with the one straight-out-of-catwalk. I absolutely adore her nonchalant attitude to fashion. She is never polished, she never wears designer clothes from top to the bottom -  this is why I consider her a fashion icon.

Check please !

Just came back from holidays in Scotland. I bet you all know what's their national fabric - tartan that is :)

My stay in Glasgow inspired me dedicate this post to check. It is without a doubt the most talked about pattern this season. 

From the so-talked-about Celine and Stella McCartney coats to the latest Mango F/W 2013 Campaign featuring Miranda Kerr - it's all about check !

Whether you are into feminine pieces (like the Asos skirt below) or more masculine (like those by Isabel Marant tartan pants), you will all figure out a take on this trend :)

Thigh-High Boots - Hit or Miss ?

For a very long time, I considered thigh-high boots as cheap and unflattering, related to a certain profession (Hello Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" :)), yet as soon as I saw Emilio Pucci F/W 2013 collection my attitude toward this particular model of shoes changed. I immediately fell in love with this boho chic look that Peter Dundas created !

Those boots give a women a completely different attitude - making them feel more confident and sexy.

I still don't know whether this season I would dare to buy thigh-hights, but for know I just enjoy watching the take on of this trend by bloggers/socialites/celebrities :)

Mirror Sunglasses

As much as I still keep safe/classy when it comes to sunglasses (Hello Wayfarer Ray-Bans:)), there is something about mirror-styled sunglasses that makes me want to buy a pair.

They are a perfect accessorie to fresh up a classy ensemble and what is more there is not just one shade, but several to choosefrom. 

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all ? :)
