LFW day 2 | Fedora vs Wind

Perhaps not the wisest decision to wear the widest fedora I own on the windiest day of the year. To say I almost took flight a couple of times is an understatement; there was one particularly dodgy moment en route to the Charlie May show where I almost got swept off the balcony into the Thames before being rescued by another show-goer (luckily the show itself was definitely worth the perilous journey). But after a miserable, wet start to fashion week on Friday (I'm talking soaking jeans up to the knee and dripping nose) the appeal of having a kind-of permanent umbrella in tow outweighed the practicalities of 50 mph wind. And it wouldn't be fashion week without at least one hat day - those of you who have followed me for a while will know my trusty fedoras always get an outing or two for the shows. I think they've almost become a bit of a comfort blanket or something, either that or a sartorial nervous twitch... Either way, that particular day it is was wind 1, hat 0.

I'm always in a search for a pair of good black jeans and here is my latest find. I paired them with new slip-ons which are decent substitute for leopard Celine shoe, added some accessories and my look was ready in less than five minutes!
Hope you will like it!

p.s. let me know if you find black jeans in any other stores, I would love to check them! :)

Last weekend I attended Bloggers&designers workshop at Textil company where we got the chance to play with fabrics and pick our favorites for AW2014/15 (you will see mine in their new issue very soon).
We spoke about upcoming trends, design, brands and many other interesting things which are related to fashion. With Prosecco and macaroons at 1:00 pm it was definitely successful Saturday! ;)
Hope you can feel that great atmosphere! :)

p.s. thank you Jelena, Marina, Anja, Mali Iv, Valentina, Marijana, Marko and whole Textil team for a lovely day!

Love You Like XO

Valentine's Day. The one day of the year that dictates it must be more romantic than any other day, and by proxy is the least romantic of all 365 days. That's the thing about Romance, it can't always be scheduled. If you've ever tried eating out on V Day you'll know what I mean; every table of two is competing with the other in terms of who can talk more, laugh more and gaze-into-eachothers-eyes-adoringly more, thus everyone leaves feeling a little inadequate and thinking it was much nicer when you spontaneously went out for dinner that time on a wednesday a few weeks ago....

Regardless, after a dry, depressed January, Valentine's Day signals a much needed day of frivolity to indulge, be it in flowers, chocolates or any other deserved cliches you choose. My motto is don't wait for someone else to treat you (although I won't deny it's great when they do) - show the love and spoil yourself. Just getting through those dark depths of Vitamin D-starved January is enough to warrant February treats... 

Stay in, order in, watch your favourite box set entwined and take cues from the below; just enough of the heart-shaped to honour the 14th but all will last well beyond those red roses.
