Blue Velvet

Here it is the outfit I worn on the day of our exhibition.

I opted for quite a formal look, this outfit is all about textures, when I saw this suit in Topshop I knew I had to have it in my life. The colour, the shape and texture are just perfect, I couldn't ask for anything more from a suit. 

And I just love the contrast of the royal blue with the gold, it makes all the accessories pop a lot more.

Portfolio Exhibition at London College of Style

This day has come, the final day of our styling course... can't help but feel a bit nostalgic already!

It was such a perfect ending for the course, got to catch up with all my stylish classmates and lots of people from the industry. To make it even more fab and fun the party was hosted by Prince Cassius!

 And not to mention the finger food and champagne were just delish.

Thank you London College of Style for such an amazing experience! Not only I learnt about styling but I also got to know a lot of lovely people during the course <3

Best of luck for everyone!

I was an angel living in the garden of evil...

The latest and final shoot for my styling course! This time the theme is renaissance, and I have to admit that this was my favourite shoot so far! Had so much fun styling and customising the halo and the skirt---I'm so wearing it for Christmas! 

I think the inspiration is pretty obvious, I was inspired by the renaissance painting of the Virgin Mary, there's something about the way the painters painted Her, She just seemed really elegant but melancholic to me.

So here it is my own interpretation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a little bit more vain and over the top but still modest and elegant.

Hope you guys love this shoot as much as I do!

Pastels and Studs

Last sunday, my friend, Inez and I went to Hoxton Hotel for some brunch, let me tell you that it was the perfect start of the day. What's better than brunch on a lazy sunday?!

 The environment of the Hoxton hotel is just really cool, for some reason it reminds me a little bit of Brooklyn, well... funny is that I've never been there but to me that is how Brooklyn should look like!

I felt a bit baroque that day for sure, not sure if it was those big hoop earrings or this amazing studded shorts, as we were just out for brunch and of course some xmas shopping I wanted to dress it down by pairing a 3 tone sweater.

Out of the Blue

Here it is the photoshoot for the scandinavian shoot we did a few weeks back!

For this shoot it's all about being minimal and quite clean, but to me it's more fun when something looks a little bit more quirky, just in the slight details I paired it with some trainer socks with derby and rolled the trousers up, it almost reminded me of that tall awkward boy we all know from middle school. And of course the bomber jacket was the main piece of this shoot that made everything a lot more interesting, thanks to my designer friend Anna Kim for the piece.

It's fur season

Lately I've realised that I got an obsession with furs...! Specially pastel ones.

This one that I got on is by Helen Moore, love that there's two tones of blue, pastel and navy. The combination of these two, in my opinion, makes it look a bit more quirky and actually even easier to wear.

And what's more important is it kept me warm during a rainy London weather!

Let's also appreciate how cool the graffiti looks! Sorry if you hated the human centipede reference, but I loved it.

Little Beige Hood

Fall is finally here, the time has changed and pumpkin spice latte is out of Starbucks' menu already - yup that's how I mark the end of autumn...!

Lately I've been really liking girlier silhouettes, the softer colours and textures, maybe that's my way of coping with the grim weather that we've been having in London from the past few days.

This coat from Zara is quickly becoming one of my favourite coat! It goes with almost everything from my wardrobe, and I love the little leather straps with the gold. And let's talk about this patterned skirt! I'm more than sure that it's inspired by Valentino - totally obsessed with it - the pattern and colour just goes really well together, and it's the perfect length and shape for me. Love it.

Oh and my nails, I actually did them myself, I saw the fake nails from House of Holland the other day and I so wanted them but again I don't really like fake nails just because I find them quite inconvenient, so I went home and did it myself!

Scandinavian photoshoot

Scandinavian themed photoshoot.

That was my first time styling a male model but it was so much fun! As it was a scandi themed shoot, I decided to choose something quite simple but still contemporary, the main piece for the shoot if the bomber jacket by Anna Kim, as it has a lot of interesting detailing in it already I thought I'll just let it be the focus. I also wanted it to have more of a sport luxe vibe so I paired it with a crisp white shirt and trousers, and trainers socks to finish the look.

The official photos will be up around next week. But I hope you all enjoy this sneak peaks and backstage pictures!
