At the black sea coast

Posted on August 14, 2021August 23, 2021 by diana

The black sea with it’s coastline have always inspired me when i had a chance to visit, as I did this summer, too – the views, the smell and the calmness of it. I was never the sunbathing kind, but I enjoy the beach nonetheless – like for taking a late afternoon stroll. That’s why all I need for the beach is just a nice swimsuit and I prefer a full one as its much more suited for swimming when I feel like it. I am in love with this Michael Kors piece.

Long dress crochet pattern

Posted on Juli 22, 2021Juli 23, 2021 by diana

The summer months are a great time to enjoy the beach wearing our favourite „must-haves“. Some of the things we need are nice bikini sets, a sun hat, sunglasses, etc., but for for me a must have is also a cover-up, or a light long cloth like summer tunics, caftans, thin dresses.

With the wide, billowy sleeves and the draped, airy fit, this garment fits and flatters every body type. Not to mention, the loose cut also keeps you cool on warm days and balmy nights.

Such is my crochet style white tunic from Zara today – it helps protect me from the sun while makes me feel elegant even on the beach. Of course I combined it with a Calzedonia bikini set – a black one, because I love combining black and white. The sunglasses I chose are from Michael Kors.

Bikini Trends 2021

Posted on April 15, 2021April 15, 2021 by diana

After so many months at home and under lockdown everyone is dreaming about a holiday. Despite the current situation we should do our best to stay optimistic and plan for some days on the beach in the summer (I had the chance to go to the beach this year already during my visit to Dubai). In that line of thought I want to share with you some bikini trends for the upcoming hot days.

Asymmetric bikini – they flow along the body and set interesting accents with unusual cut-outs or reversed straps – for instance one-shoulder or cut-outs on the waistline in pink or other „sweet“ colors.

Exotic prints in zebra, snake or leopard looks, but not in bright colors. Instead of that in pastel, toned-down colors, because that makes the animal patterns look elegant.

Multi-functional bikinis – the ones that are not only for the beach, but can also be worn on the way there or even when going out – for instance a short top with boxer pants.

But all in all remember that trendy is what fits you the best, no matter the trend – even a sweater with bikini pants, matched well, on a beautiful sunset.

Be colorful

Posted on August 9, 2020August 9, 2020 by diana

Are you the type that likes more colors for the summer, or the one who wants to show the simplicity of one or two colors? I am a big fan of definite colors like pink and black, but the summer time carries with it thoughts of more vibrant palettes – the summer should be colorful!

In summer I have always tried to be different and original with my outfits, no matter if out in the streets, at the beach, party, working or at home. „Different“ means no boring colors but rather fresh and trendy – the ones that make me confident. No matter if 2, 3 or more colors are matched together, the most important thing is to do it in a comfortable and fashionway.

In summer I always put more colors in my outfits, not only for the daily clothes, but of course also for the beach or the pool – like with this overall I have on today – colorful from orange to pink with some mint.

Try it – it really pays off to play with some eye-catching colors and attract attention that way!

How I style a read maxi pleated skirt

Posted on Mai 21, 2019Mai 21, 2019 by diana

A pleated maxi skirt is definitely a must have this season. With its longer length and a small waist it creates a beautiful woman silhouette. The pleated pretty trend includes both the casual and the more elegant styles.

There are many possibilities and colors to style an outfit but I choose ones that spice it up – red and pink. Wearing these two together was once considered a fashion don’t, but nowadays it is one of the trendiest color combinations.

You can easily match a candy pink top with pink accessories and a red pleated skirt. On one side I chose a pink pullover and on the other a white top, both with decorative elements, because it was sunset at Black sea coast, but not warm and cosy like in summer, hence the long sleeve as an addition to the T-Shirt. The pink bag brings its accent and the black sexy ankle boots are the best choice for this fashionable color attack mix.

Pineapple pants

Posted on August 21, 2018 by diana

Summer, sun, vacation, sea coast, relax, ice-cream and of course a fresh outfit – what more does one need for a good day at the beach.

I wore this outfit with the pineapple pants at the beach the other day and was hearing the word “pineapple” all the time and all the comments about the fruit. It was very funny.

Pineapples, watermelons, oranges, apples, bananas – all these fruity prints are everywhere this season – even as pool floats. I am also a fan of them, but shown in a more delicate, indirect way like on the pants on this outfit – in a fashionway.
