Making a selfie

I always found it difficult to make a decent selfie – even though it looks very easy and most bloggers do it very well.

Getting a great shot of your outfit can be harder than it looks, as it‘s difficult to fit the whole body unless it‘s mirror selfie. It is also hard to avoid the surroundings and the position holding the phone sometimes ruins the whole picture. One has to learn the tricks, tips and the tools available for making a good shot.

That said, I like it and taking selfies is fun – it’s also a quick and easy way to share something from myself. Today, I am wearing one of my favorite „Selfie“ T-shirt with a cool print, Jeans and rough shoes in which I‘m in love and of course trying to make some selfies. At the end, the professional camera, as you can see, is always the best way for a good shot.

Adding some winter white

It is still winter but I’m looking so much forward to spring that when adding some winter white to my wardrobe I choose not only winter clothes (like a thick sweater and a cap), but also a short skirt and over-knee socks which would be more suited for a warmer season.

But before taking the challenge of wearing white, you should know that winter white is rarely pure white because of the wool material. It’s often closer to ivory or even slightly grayed out white, like ecru. But do you know – it’s worth it – take the challenge to wear white in your winter outfits, that way you will brighten up the gray cold days.

Happy and pretty

There are so many estimations about how many hours women spend for shopping and clothing, but honestly I find this to be one of the activities I tend to enjoy too :). I think so, because a real woman or a pretty girl should stick to what makes her happy – be it shopping, clothing or just walking on the street while making heads turn, as things in life are easier and enjoyable only when you yourself are satisfied with your day.

I have always tried to be a „pretty woman“, but never following all the requirements and standards of „being pretty“. The „frames“ make me uncomfortable and standards alone are not enough to make you outstanding. To look nice for me does not only mean that you choose the nicest clothes you have, but also finding what your soul desires to feel beautiful and attractive. So, my mood today was a shopping one – going and searching what the latest designer labels are offering.

By the way I have never been too fond of snake prints – it’s not my favourite, but it does have a great sense of style and brings one more level of variety in my closet, reclaiming its territory in 2018, and still being up to date in 2019. Pairing snake accessories is always tricky, but black always matches very well. Both the outfit and the shopping itself made my day.

So what makes YOU feel happy and pretty?

Gifts

Some gifts are big. Other are small. But the ones that come from the heart are the best gifts of all. /Tinku Razoria/

I hope you’ve got already your Christmas gifts, but at Fracomina there is always something to look for. And if you want something really special, you can have a look at the premiere collection. I feel always great wearing Fracomina – it is a different and outstanding Italian style.

Fracomina stories continued

The right pair of jeans can make you feel taller, sexier, even I dare to say happier. If you’re tall – a slightly boyfriend and relaxed jeans like these Fracomina ones with roses.

Relaxed jeans are always a good choice – a loose fit from the waist to the leg opening, a relaxed cut denim is not going to hug any part of your body.

To complement this outfit – a Fracomina cardigan is always a good touch.

Fracomina stories

My post and outfit today are once again inspired by one of my favourite brands – Fracomina.

If I look for the perfect jeans – the answer is always Fracomina denim. Every season they are my perfect eye catchers but this fall/winter season their “stories” are more than amazing – nice jeans, romantic shirts, blouses, dresses, cardigans and coats, all of them full of tender elements and colors like a love story.

The romantic side of Fracomina leaves you breathless – see for yourself: www.fracomina.it

And as for my look today – a tender skin colored blouse with velvet chenille roses and high super skinny “High Audry Capri Gold Rain” jeans, of course matched in a fashionway.

If you are in the US, you should definitely visit and see the collection yourself at the Fracomina store US.

Motorcycle mood, but first good Italian coffee and food

I have always said that I like Italian coffee, food and fashion very much, but I can also say this for Italian motorcycles. I was a bit hesitant to take on this challenge again, especially in the big city, but I knew the feeling will be more than exciting.

People say „the need for speed“ catch you at a very young age, almost similar to the fashion fever and as I had a motorcycle some years ago, I wanted to enjoy this feeling again. And, in relation to that, I wanted to show you one of my favorite street style outfits – jeans, a leather jacket, backpack and of course once again a touch of teddy feeling – a teddy sweater.

Leo fever

Almost every year animal prints like leo, snake, etc, become a trend and now in the fall/winter season are again on the scene in many collections of the famous designers. Specially the leo fever is at its peak – a shirt, a blouse, a coat, a skirt, a bag and so on – every item can be an eye catcher.

I’m not wearing leo prints very often but every now and then I do appreciate it – and this day I decided to go “wild” – classic jeans and a leopard shirt. And as my favorite animal is the cat, I’m also in love with this huge one – powerful and graceful like the real thing.

So, if you don’t know what to wear because we women always say we have nothing to wear, choose a leo item and match it in the outfit in a fashioway.

A powerful color

Today I am obsessed with another autumn color – maroon, also known as “deep burgundy”. Coming from the Burgundy Region in France and having a great history behind it, this color presents a reputable, sophisticated and powerful outlook. It goes perfect with dark ones like black, but can at the same time be attractive when combined with beige, brown or grey.

Here I matched it with dark grey jeans, a special hint of light pink shoes and bag for a simple way to elevate my look in an attractive fashionway.
