My bohemian side was ready to conquer the island.
Printed dress, baby blue shirt and flat boots of course (despite the fact that I manage to fall in the center of Glyfada because of them later that week, I still love these super slippery ladies).
Little bit of jewelry and that's it. Can't be easier.
Hope you will like it!

Mykonos / San Giorgio Hotel / Interior

                                                                                                 location: Mykonos
                                                                                                 hotel: San Giorgio

Let's start a new journey today!
We are going straight to one of the best and definitely unique hotels at Mykonos.
Thanks to them and their Bloggers week, Jelena (check her post too) and I got the chance to enjoy and explore this amazing place, which would be my honest recommendation to everyone!

Set against the dramatic coastline of this amazing island, the San Giorgio Hotel is situated between Paradise and Paraga beaches, one of the most scenic areas of the island (which you will see in one of the upcoming posts about hotel's exterior).

Originally built in the 1990s, the hotel was purchased by owners of the nearby club. After nearly a decade running Mykonos’ world-famous Paradise Club, Thomas Heyne and Mario Hertel  (Check the interesting story about these inspiring people  Here) have teamed up with Design Hotels™ to create San Giorgio. And they manage to create a true bohemian paradise!

The hotel interior was designed by Berlin-based team, Lambs&Lions, and completed in 2012. Simplicity and comfort, history and heritage, organic materials and carefully picked furniture are signatures of this bohemian luxury hotel.  All rooms (34, including 2 suites, the gorgeous Grande suite was our) are equally equipped with a shower and modern bathroom, air-conditioning as well as complimentary wireless internet (yap, that's true).

Downtown Mykonos as well as Mykonos Airport are a 10-minute drive from the San Giorgio. And whether you decide to discover the hidden treasures of the island, spent a day in your hammock, go to a beach bars, enjoy local food or go crazy at night, this location is ideal for every type of holiday.

Carefree vibe of the '60s bohemian life make this hotel a special place. And the luxury lies in the whole experience!
Must try! 


p.s. In the upcoming post, I will also show you the exterior of the San Giorgio and talk about the hotel staff, these people are the BEST!

When Adidas team asked me if I would like to style and create flatlays for them, I instantly accepted this challenge and start thinking about it. After one whole day of styling and photographing I got these results and I'm more than satisfied how everything looks like at the end.
If you are a professional runner, yoga lover, gym junkie or you just like to hang out in your sport clothes on weekend, here are some of my suggestions!
The best way to stay motivated (beside looking at top models) is a new workout clothes, so create your own look by mixing and matching colors and prints and start working! It's a perfect timing to get that beach body!
Hope you will find it inspiring!

p.s. I'm really honored because official Adidas Running Facebook page and Twitter profile with tons of followers shared these flatlays, how cool is that?!

Sweet and indulgent

Holidays are Coming

It's only a week till I'm off to Morocco, so obviously I've starting laying things out in collage format. As you do. 

This trip's been on the cards for what feels like forever, but was only finalized last week so it feels kind of surreal to think we'll be in 35 degree heat this time next week. Surreal and terrifying. Factor 50 is the first thing going in my case.... We'll be traveling a lot but am hoping we'll still find time to lie like lizards by a pool, read a book or two and, fingers crossed, horse ride in the dunes. Something I've been fantasizing about since we booked....

Can't wait to finally put some of my favourite summer pieces to good use in the desert heat.

Dark jeans, favorite top in coal color and flat boots.
Similar but at the same time different look.
In previous post I wore waxed jeans with sandals and this time I decided to match it with regular jeans, suede flats and flower jacket.
Hope you will like it!

T-Shirt Weather

T-shirt weather is a wonderful thing and I got my first taste of it this year in Barcelona. Scorching summer heat is great, but there's something so nice about being able to wander around sans jacket happy as a clam. And yes, I'm fully aware that statement makes me sound about 40 years my senior. 

Is this a really British thing?  Maybe so. Leaving the house without a jacket in tow is a rare act in blighty, and one that's normally regretted. The fact we spent two thirds of the year breathing into our scarves, and the other third sweating on the tube perhaps means we're forever in awe/jealous of those who get reliably warm, balmy days come Spring. I'll stop sounding like my mother now.

Silk LNA trousers, gazelles and a faithtful white tee proved the perfect basics to tackle a full-on working day in BCN. This particular tee is from the HnM conscious collection and is an absolute fave, perfect in every way, the only downer being I had to go up to 3 sizes to get the right loose fit. Regardless, it still proved the perfect tee in which explore the city for the first time.

These were shot in the Raval area, one of my favourites in Barcelona. We picked up green juices and sat outside MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Arts) watching the ever present skaters, vowing to get really good once we got home.

Top 10 Rules for being sharply suited

I read an article a few months ago about the unspoken suit rules every man should know. So that they don't remain unspoken, I thought it would be beneficial to bring you my own top 10 of those rules.

Employing these top 10 rules will help you to remain sharp, sophisticated and down right trendy when wearing suits.

10:
When buying a suit off-the-rack, the most important thing is to ensure that the shoulders fit. Ill fitting suit jackets that sag below the top line of the shoulder is not going to look great nor sharp. Shoulders are the hardest to tailor, so mark sure they don't stick out or stick up.

The gap between the collar of your shirt and the jacket's lapels is a giveaway that you have an ill-fitting jacket.



9. Charcoal or Grey suits are more sharp than black. This is because greys and charcoals are more versatile and will look better with more colours. Not all men suit black either.

8. When wearing a 3 piece suit or just the waist coat with trousers, keep the bottom button of your waist coat unbuttoned. This provides a slightly more sharper look and fit and prevents bunching at the bottom.

7. Cuffs should be showing at least half an inch from the jacket sleeve. Not only will this show off your  masculine jewellery you have such as cufflinks and watches, it provides a more balanced look by matching the amount of collar visible at the back of the neck.

6. Make sure your tie is darker than your dress shirt. This allows a balanced contrast and draws the eye in the V shape at the centre of your chest giving a slimmer sharper look.



5. The hem of your trouser should touch right at the top of your shoe. This provides a fashion forward, sharp look. If you are looking for a more conservative look, the trouser hem should cover the top of the shoe and parts of the laces.

4. For a classic or vintage look, wear a matching waist coat and trouser with a slimmer tie. A brown tweet option would provide even more of a vintage look.

3. Always go for a classic windsor knot for your tie. Use the size of your head to determine whether you should go half or full windsor.

2. Matching the right coloured shoes with your suit provides a sharp and sophisticated look. This includes being the same colour as your belt. A simple guide for matching shoes and suits is outlined below.

1. For a particularly modern sharp look, choose a slim fit suit. Make sure that the back of the suit jacket has a double vent flap.
