Jingle Bells

My message to you today is the essence of the traditional Christmas song „Jingle Bells“.

We relate it with the arrival of Christmas and Santa Claus, to the delight of children of all ages. Let the bells ring and Christmas come! Ho-ho-ho!

May you never be too grown up to search the skies on Christmas Eve!

“Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh…”

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air

I would say Christmas has always been one of my favourite time of the year. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols and seeing all the excited people rushing to buy presents for their loved ones. And all that because Christmas is more than just a big day, it’s all the little things that make it extra special: the decorations, the presents, the cooking and so on. All in all – a time that does magic to people – and the preparations for the magic is likely more exciting than the celebration itself. So, have you already created your own magic?

Santa, I have been good this year!

Usually in December we take a look back at the passing year. But I do not like to focus on the good or the bad, because each year has its ups and downs… I rather think we should let the past be the past, stay positive and expect only good things to happen in the future. And when we all do our best to be good and have good intentions, the usual questions like “Have you been a good girl/boy this year” or “You know Santa only comes to good children, don’t you” are not necessary to ask.

So, “Santa, I (we) have been good this year” – please stop by every house this Christmas :).

Keep it casual, street and teen

This is not the style that I typically go for, but it has crept into my mind as of late – to go casual, street style, effortless and even in a teen way. Hardly a new trend, the ripped jeans with sneakers always make a great spotlight with their simplicity. And although red isn’t my color, a red blouse brings a good feeling. But In this case the best feeling comes from wearing the Guliano Gudman shoes – which makes you feel like a star – not just because they have the falling star on them, they are comfortable and fashionable, but also because this pair has red hearts added as a small detail. Can’t resist feeling in love with them!

Why black and white makes you don’t think about what you wear

The black color makes everyone amazing – black is elegant and chick, black makes you slim and looks good on all skin tones and hair colors. But the white touch to the black makes wonders.

Coco Chanel said it in the best way: “Woman think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony”.

A black and white outfit is always stylish, that’s why I’m not only feeling great in a black and white combination – I feel like not thinking about what I am wearing.

In this line of thought, two favorite phrases of mine pops up in mind: “Whatever you think, think the opposite” and “ Even when going all black, add some white, too”.

Black and white looks as good on men as it does on women – same is true for those fine shoes from Guiliano Gudman – they are available in both “Star Boy” and “Star Girl” flavors.

Green mint color kick

The cold and cloudy weather does not bring the best mood – that’s why I decided to wear something bright and cheerful to light my sprits up. I added a little color kick to my outfit – the green mint color jacket paired with a bright pink shirt and of course with my favorite Guiliano Gudman shoes, which have the same color and a Leo touch. There are so many more cute shoes you will find here, that can make your wish list keep growing.

I love today’s outfit because it is such an unusual color combination that works! What color combinations have you tried that work? I am always looking for new ways to mix it up in a fashionway.

So, get mint green into your outfit because like the fresh mint taste, mint green has its fesh and cool kick!

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.

Cosy evening in black & white

My post today is an evening post as I am in a wonderful place with great surroundings, dressed in my favourite colors black and white – black as the coming evening and white as the bright thoughts coming with the pre-holiday mood. In addition black accessories like black over-knee boots can be a perfect match.
