I have to admit I was surprised to see Emmanuelle Alt wear a bright pink sweatshirt during New York Fashion Week. I'm so used to seeing her in black, grey, white and muted greens and blues. She still managed to keep the pink grounded and edgy though, with a fresh face, black leather pants, a fringe bag and classic black d'orsay pumps.

+ Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny Stretch Leather Pants (alternative)

September is all about starting something new and fresh.
It's a perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, pick a few essentials and refill the basics.
So let's start it together!
Choose a good and quality trench coat. If you are a high fashion player than Burberry will be the best one of course. And if you want a cheaper version, I would definitely go for those from Zara, they are becoming better and better every season.
Our next important piece is leather pencil skirt! You can wear it at work, at cocktail parties, well you can wear it all day long for every occasion. Wool/cashmere sweaters or crisp white shirts for work, simple white t-shirt for casual days. You can even wear it with sneakers and college jackets, so leather skirt is a wardrobe must!
Fall shoes update is also crucial. I would say that lace up sandals are still a major thing, belted trench/coat and bare legs, who doesn't like that!? Beside these one, brogues, loafers, slip-ons, oxfords you can't go wrong with flats.
And when it comes to accessories, we are making transition into less is more mood. Pick one or two jewelry pieces and let them become your style signatures.

Here are my picks:
1. Trench coat, Zara
2. Wool sweater, Zara
3.Semi precious stone ring, INES atelier
4. Bronzing powder, Guerlain
5. Leather skirt, Mango
6. Croc city bag with chains, Zara
7. Leather sandals, Zara
8. Sunglasses, Massimo Dutti

Don't let the new collections overwhelmed you, stick to the basics and it will be easy!

If you are following me on the Instagram then you already know that I was in Prague with my partner in crime Jelena where we attended Prague Fashion Weekend, better known as #MBPFW one week ago.
As special guests of M∙A∙C cosmetics we were part of some really great fashion shows, backstage rush and private parties. And what I can say? We had a blast!
Welcomed (and later driven around) by Tick Tack taxi service provided by M∙A∙C (I highly recommend this one when you are in Prague, they even have a WiFi in their cars) and their great team I immediately felt as a true princess because of their special treatment. Pampered and loved, that's how I would describe it! :)

Let's talk about shows now!
- My favorite one was definitely from Jakub Polanka, young Czech designer who presented some amazing pieces on the catwalk. Smart, comfortable and at the same time chic. So keep an eye on his work, this shy and really down to earth guy will make even bigger success!
Check the entire collection Here!
- Chatty is a design studio from Prague and I liked several pieces from their collection for example This and This, but I have to admit that they were a little bit confusing. They showed mix of perfectly designed pieces and those that you can find at Zara. But if they focus more on their own design skills, I think that they can create magnificent collection!
Check the entire collection Here!
- Daniela Peskova is my third favorite designer from MBPFW. She reminds me at some Serbian designers who are great in creating simple but still eye catchy pieces.
Check the collection Here!
Despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of tattoos I need to share my sympathy to a true star of this MBPFW  Rick Genest aka the Zombie boy! I would never tell that he is actually bashful and nice! 

Backstage time!
M∙A∙C Senior Artist - Netta Szekely was the one who created all the make up looks according to designers collection themes and vibes. And she did the amazing job! Together with the international M∙A∙C artists she did the 26 shows for MBPFW. Well done! It's quite impressive when you see what these creative people are doing during the crazy fashion months around the globe and how many things they need to make every single show perfect when it comes to makeup. And what's even better is when you have chance to be part of it!
My favorite makeup looks are 1, 2, 3, 4 , check  more Here, they are made by talented photographer Pavel Hejný.
You can also check some black and white photos from the same photographer, click Here!

Numbers
• Number of shows in major Fashion Week cities that M∙A∙C will support backstage:  208
• Number of Eye Liners and Eye Pencils ordered for Artists’ kits:  1,233
• Number of Permanent Lipsticks, Lipglasses, Lipmixes, Lip Erase and Conditioners ordered for Artists’ kits:  576
• Number of Mascara Wands and Tubes ordered  for Artists’ kits:  3,776
• Number of Lashes ordered for Artists’ kits: 844 


Overall
It was hectic, a little bit exhausting but above all very inspiring. New city, new people, new energy.
Prague is such a cute town and I would love to come back one day and explore it even more. I had chance to make only a quick tour to the most popular touristic places and I love everything except the fact that it was crowded. So if you are planning your visit, I would suggest to make an early morning sightseeing tour and enjoy!

Huge thanks to the entire team from M∙A∙C for this incredible experience, it was my honor to be your guest, ladies you are the best!
