First Lady Awards 2022

Posted on Juni 8, 2022Juni 20, 2022 by diana

It was a great honour for me to win this prestigious award in the „Lifestyle“ category at the „First Lady Awards 2022“.

The First Lady Awards celebrates the achievements of successful ladies in the following areas of life and business – fashion, lifestyle, culture, charity and business. This is not a beauty pageant – it is an event that nominates famous women who have had great achievements in the area of their work and business.

It felt really great to be nominated for this award – after all the years I invested in the fashion area it came as a very welcome surprise, and I hope it marks a stepping stone towards the future.

Fashion is a point of view

Posted on Oktober 6, 2019Oktober 18, 2019 by diana

I have always thought that it’s important to have a clear point for view of my fashion style and although my style follows the general fashion trends, i always also listen to my inner vioce and stick to my own feelings for each outfit. For me fashion does not mean to have the same handbag or pair of heels like everyone else is wearing. I love it when I see an original piece, something that’s not all over the media.

I very often pick clothes that I feel are most relevant to me, no matter the brand. I do like the famous designers and brands, but I don’t think that the exclusive and expensive is always the best. Because, as a friend of mine said recently, you can look fabulous even if you put on a potatoe sack for an outfit, as long as you wear it well, in a fashion way.

So, to make your personal fashion point of view, you have to find your own specific taste and present it in your own unique way.

In this post I wear one of my favorites color combos – black and white. For me this match follows no season and never leaves the fashion scene.

Feeling purple

Posted on Juli 18, 2019Juli 20, 2019 by diana

Today, I’m “showing-off” my beautiful purple dress from the amazing “Balina”, which is simply great! I am not a fan of wearing often elegant or formal dresses but sometimes for special occasions it gives me a nice feminine feeling. This dress has a modern design, nice for the summer with its no shoulder look and it’s just perfect for the city night, a cocktail evening or any formal occasion. Really gives you that confident flair. Moreover, I think for such a dress clean looks are just splendid.

I also wear with pleasure my great silver-gold shiny high heels from Humanic.

Hopefully you like today’s look and maybe you will also choose the trendy purple color for a future occasion, in a fashionway.

What I wore:

Red passion on a wedding day

Posted on Juli 3, 2019Juli 5, 2019 by diana

Notice the people who are happy for your happiness, and sad for your sadness – they’re the ones who deserve special place in your heart …

And because I am happy for the happiness of other people, today I want to share with you a special event which I attended – the wedding of two close friends.

The place was magnificent – Vila Vita Panonia – a hotel and a holiday village situated in Burgenland, on the sunny side of Austria. Not only the place, but also the organisation, the guests and friends – everything was amazing. One of the most existing things was of course the ceremony- like in the movies, on a small island in the lake, with the bride coming over a bridge with her father leading her – really like in a fairy tale…

We are waiting so long for this day – still when its there everything passes so quickly, like in a dream. But I like to say that the big emotions are hidden in the preparations for such an event.

I usually don’t fancy the red color, but for this occasion I wanted to wear a long red passion dress and wanted it to be really extraordinary elegant and beautiful. The length, the Schleif, the form and every small detail were important for me because I wanted to look perfect – for which I am extremely grateful to Alegra fashion who made the dress. And so I felt – walking with my husband – exceptionally good and like a princess, but in a modern variant, of course, in a fashionway.

Here is my book – „I was born for this“!

Posted on Mai 23, 2019Mai 23, 2019 by diana

I am talking always about fashion, style, lifestyle, trends, etc, but for me it is very important also to think how to be a beautiful woman both outside and inside. Someone could say reading books is old-fashioned – nearly all information can be found online nowadays, books including – but i still like it, especially books that inspire me.

Walking into a bookstore I feel very much like walking into a fashion store. The shelves are lined with the wisdom inside that each author has spent a ot of time on, like the clothes arranged in the shop by color, collection, also ingeniously crafted by the designers. A good book can fill my soul just as good as a beautiful outlook is a pleasure to my eyes.

In one of those visits to the book shop I found my special book – just as if it was dedicated to me – „I was born for this“ and I took it as a sign of destiny, because the fashion lives in me and I was born to do everything with fashion in a fashionway.

Concerning my outfit here – I just have to point out to my favourite and actual silver shoes and bag, combined with casual Patricia Pepe beige jeans and a military green pullover with matching silver elements.

All white with a touch of hot pink

Posted on Mai 18, 2019Mai 19, 2019 by diana

After a little shopping at Stradivarius, I was inspired to style something elegant, vivid and casual. My new pink blazer was a perfect choice to look stylish and attractive. Meanwhile I am a person who loves comfortable clothing, so I picked a pair of white skinny jeans and a white top – I really like wearing all white with just a touch of color. As for shoes I chose black printed heels with the same bag from Humanic.

Floral feeling

Posted on Mai 11, 2019Mai 14, 2019 by diana

Dresses that feature flowers and floral patterns are often our spring and summer staple. With this article, picking some floral patterns I want to show you how they bring out your confident femininity. Floral print dresses styled the right way and outerwear are easily worn and could make the look of gloom.

While a floral dress is great in theory, in fact it is often a challenge to pull off, so choosing the right floral patterns is important to fit your body and style.

Consider that larger flowers are more flattering to smaller body types – you should not go for oversized floral patterns if you have a shapely one because those may add a few kilos to your silhouette. If your body type is slim to average, try combining larger with smaller floral patterns.

Also, consider the background color of your floral dress – a bright background fits perfectly on a thinner body, while choosing a darker one will give you a more tailored and tapered look and the illusion of being slimmer.

At the end a floral concept must fit to your mood, style and complete your femininity, of course in a fashionway.

How about an evening walk

Posted on Mai 3, 2019Mai 4, 2019 by diana

When was the last time you went out for an evening stroll? Hard to recollect? You are not the only one! Nowadays, not a lot of people remember the importance of a simple exercise like walking. People have become lazy and it is no wonder as the daily life became so dynamic and we have less and less time to enjoy the little things of life like simple walking.

I really enjoy night walks. The city by night looks completely different than in daylight. The most representative buildings and tourist attractions are highlighted while the rest is hidden in the shadow… and maybe that’s the most exciting thing about exploring the city after the sun goes down.

And what would be the perfect outfit for an evening walk – I would say almost everything which is comfortable. For example – shoes, sneakers type but in silver to have some sparkle in the night, leggings dark like the night itself, thin pullover and coat – to make the sprint evening soft and warm. No matter the degrees outside and for sure not the lease important is a little smile and some good mood – all of that, of course, in a fashion way.

Feeling lazy and casual today

Posted on April 15, 2019April 16, 2019 by diana

There are some days when you wake up and you’re just like „nope, not today“, especially when it rains and the mood goes down. You just want to go outside, casual and lazy and don’t think about your outfit too much.

My „nope“ today means „no“ to the bad mood. There is something good in every day and every weather. Let‘s smile, wear funny casual clothes ans enjoy the spring time with all it’s beauty. And what does spring beauty mean – blooming flowers, wonderful inspiring smells, freshness everywhere even from the falling rain.

For me, one of the symbols of spring is the lilac bush, adding abundant color to the landscape and scent the air with fragrance. It makes me also especially very happy because violet with all its nuances, bright or dark, is one of trending spring colors. It can be easily combined with neutral ones like grey, white and beige, but meanwhile a combination with gold ot metallic is also perfect. In addition a well combined natural mix between green and violet also deserves a compliment and look elegant in a fashion way.

Spring gives me wings

Posted on April 6, 2019April 6, 2019 by diana

After a long winter, the days are getting warmer and the sun is staying out longer. I love the change of seasons. Every new season has something beautiful to offer. So is with the fashion – new trends and new colors are waiting for us. And as the fashion spring/summer palette is full with shades of sun colors, I find them gathered in this wonderful butterfly tunic. The outfit is complemented with those chic pink sunglasses, which also have the form of a butterfly and follow the current pink trend.

When winter gives way to spring, for me this is the favourite change of seasons, as it reminds me it’s time to start getting ready for the coming summer – I am so excited preparing my summer wardrobe… what about you?
