To be honest with you I wondered quite a lot how I would name this post because it feels pretty special to me. It was shot in a villiage, in the Rhodope mountains away from the heat, noise and dirt of the city. I needed this break so much because staying in Plovdiv the whole summer without travelling anywhere is not my cup of tea. I feel like I am programmed to be inspired and that’s why I need changes – and this was the one. Pretty simple, just like the title of the post. I didn’t entitle it “In the woods” or “Etno motives in the wind” because it…

Lace and Denim on Paved Streets
I’m so excited to be finally sharing an outfit with you guys! The photographs I’ve posted are a result of a quick leisurely walk with a dear friend of mine (thanks for the photos, Sneji). We were in a small neighbourhood called Kapana (means “the trap” in Bulgarian mainly because of its small streets crossing over each other and making you feel as if in a trap if not familiar with the area). A lot of different workshops selling hand-made objects (fashion items, decorations, paintings, and so on) and nice cafés and restaurants are situated there. It was lovely to have a walk, look at what the creative gurus are up to, and enjoy a…

Plovdiv Fashion Day
Today I’m sharing with you and event that was held in my hometown Plovdiv, Bulgaria. My town is known for its creative people using different skills incorporated in clothes, accessories, decorations, etc. It possibly has something to do with the energy of the place. The actual event lived up to my expectations – fashion which wouldn’t be worn by every person but still expresses its unique origin and the style of its maker, awesome for collector as well. There were clothes with classic Bulgarian emboideries, handmade jewellery, personalised umbrellas, phone cases, shoes, bags, leather creations, etc. It was very colourful and innovative. Just like the actual people selling their stuff. It…

Chagall Blue and Bright Yellow
This combination has become more and more ubiquitous during the last few years, hasn’t it? Both of the colours give out a Marocco vibe with a bright note of the Miditerranean. This blue reminds me of the classic Chagall blue, named after the Russian artist Marc Chagall. I had the chance to flick through a book completely dedicated to him and took a few pictures of the paintings giving an example of his authentic blue colour.

Gingham for Less
As seen on many runways (Diane Von Fustenberg, Michael Kors, Oscar De La Renta, Botega Venetta, Altuzarra), gingham has definitely become a must have stample in our wardrobe! The romantic, warm-weather cousin of plaid is not only on dresses but on shirts, coats, bags and scarves as well. It gives out feminism and elegance and can be worn for any occasion. I particularly picture myself wearing a gingham dress on a picnic date or with a shirt dress while walking through the narrow streets of a European town (somewhere in Greece, France, Spain or Italy…). What I’ve prepared for you are examples of clothes seen on the runways of SS/2015 and a similar-looking piece for much…

Dior-inspired Pearl Earrings
I was inspired by Dior and Geneva from a pair and a spare to make these double pearl earrings and now I’m sharing it all with you! What’s quite surprising is how easy this DIY is, but also how often I wear these ones – doesn’t matter if it’s at school, a weekend laid-back stroll somewhere in the park, or at a party – you can never do it wrong! This is my all time favorite pair of earrings. It always looks good no matter what you wear. What you’ll need: glue (hot glue gun, or any other strong type of glue) 2 matching pearl beads a pair of regular pearl earrings…

2015 Denim Trends
This season’s denim trends are quite on the innovative side, but there are also classic choices that everyone would love – interesting patchwork designs (Tommy Hilfiger, Vanessa Bruno), new boyfriend, flare, slim fit and slashed jeans. Dolce & Gabbana’s beaded jeans are more than eye-catching and create a unique look and so do the stamped jeans as seen in Anna Sui and other runways. Long Jean skirts, wider legs and shorter hems definitely give out a more old-school vibe. The classic denim shirt is a little transformed either into a shirt dress or an oversized, sometimes distressed, top. Denim can also be seen as a material of accessories such as bags, hats and even shoes! Images: Pinterest,…

Bluish Spring
Hey and welcome back! I’m more than happy to finally have the chance to share an outfit with you since it’s been a while since my last fashion article! Today is Bulgaria’s Tsvetnitsa which is an equivalent to the catholic Palm Sunday. People named after flowers have the so called ‘name day’, which I celebrate today as well, though my name isn’t particularly a flower… I was with my friends at a pastry café and had a really nice time! As for my outfit, one of my newest obsessions are denim jackets, and this one in particular I purchased from H&M. My daisy print top is from a Turkish shop called adilisik…

Monochrome Plaid
Hello everyone! Hope you’ve had a good weekend! I know it’s been a while since I wrote a new post, but I was more than busy at school and unfortunately didn’t have any time at all to spend on my blog. Today I’m sharing with you some images I shot with one of my dearest friends in the centre of Plovdiv – it’s quite surprising how many things so close to us are more than beautiful, and when we see tourists taking pictures of them we look at them in surprise, but we never really take the time to pay special attention to them because they’ve become a part of…

New Year’s Eve
This is the last post for 2014 – a year full of many emotions, unexpected situations, and valuable lessons. Since the beginning, I’ve been encouraging you to be more creative and always add something different, so here’s what I decided to wear on New Year’s Eve. What we should all have in mind is to have something to throw on before and after the party no matter where you are heading. It can be a cardigan, a blazer, or even your favorite chunky sweater. You can always pull off any outfit, as long as it is chosen with taste. So you don’t need to spend thousands on it. Have fun! See…
