FWP SS2015 KLAUDIA MARKIEWICZ

Have you heard of Klaudia Markiewicz? Klaudia is young designer based in Lodz, Poland, who was having her very debut during Fashion Philosophy Fashion Week Poland. 

This was one of the most spectacular and strong shows I have seen during the event. Everything was perfectly prepared from gift eco-bags with print of scarabeus- leitmotiv of collection- enriching seats around runaway, through visualisation and music. 

Mostly black, varying with texture, seemingly rough garments were incredibly feminine. We were offered all what we may need- fitted and skater skirts, leather pants, heavy knitted jumpers, blazers . Finishing it with chunky shoes and round glasses gave us the lookbook all of us will love. 

HERE you can check her website.

I am on the Fashion Week for 2 days now and I am so busy here, so don't have lots of time to give you an update. I hope you will understand. You can check my Instagram HERE, I will post couple of shots there, before editing it for you guys and posting later on. 

Enjoy your time!

MUST HAVE ALERT!: PERFECT DRESS

Recently I found winter resolution for two of my loves: dress and turtle neck jumper.

This amazing piece from MANGO is chic, warm and classy. It is made from wool, has cozy turtle neck and is sleeveless, so you do not boil inside of it. Do you need something more to be convinced it is perfect? It looks so similar to Celine's, but is on sale for  reasonable price.

If  like it as I do,  you can find it HERE.

 

 

 

RECENT LOOK AND RANDOM THOUGHTS

This weekend is going to be quite busy for me. I need to prepare everything for my trip to Poland. I need to think what to take, not to overload myself. Packing during autumn winter is such a pain, cos all the clothes are so big and heavy :/

To make this weekend more busy and more fashion related, together with D4R14 we decided to make a photoshoot to celebrate Autumn weather. Is in your place also so much amazignly colorfoul leafs? Here in Brno you can admire all the pallete of colours from yeallow, through orange, red, pink and even purple. I hope that what we will make will be showable, so i can share it with you. 

Gotta go back to work, have a nice weekend!

INSPIRATION: ZARA PICTURES

Do you know this feeling, when standing in front of stuffed wardrobe and you feel like there is literally nothing to wear? If you do ZARA came up with idea especially for you! On their website (HERE) apart from known LOOKBOOK and CAMPAIGN appeared new section called PICTURES and it gathers images of typical ZARA woman during her day.

Selection of images is very alike popular INTAGRAM photos and what interesting focus not on WHAT-TO-WEAR, but HOW-TO-WEAR. Cuddling (not holding!) oversized tote bag, belt to keep oversized cardigan or balck and white look with etno jewelery are just couple of ideas you can find there. More the same pieces of clothing are used in differend styization, so you could imagine how variable they are.

Now, inspired, lets discover the possibilities of our wardrobes!

RECENT LOOK AND RANDOM THOUGHTS

So many times I was writing about following dreams, eg. HERE  and today I want to prove my point that 'If  you can dream it, you can make it.'

Let's start from the beginning. There is an event in Lodz, Poland, called Poland Fashion Week (website HERE).This year I decided to try and apply for a backstage position during an upcoming SS2015 event. 

 have sent my application a while ago but didn't hear back, so I thought I am not meant to work there. I have reconciled with my sad faith, when, yesterday, I received the best news ever. From Tue till Sun I will be working as a head of the backstage during Out Of Schedule part of an event ( a link where you can check designers  is HERE).

I am extremely proud of myself (to be honest I just burst with pride :D) and I want to use this opportunity to promote myself. Do you think it is appropriate to have business cards with me??? I need to think as a business woman now!

With this positive news I wish you guys your dreams to come true!

TRAVEL TIPS: BEAUTIFUL LATVIA

How to get there?

You can use either bus or plane depending where from you travel. The best option from Tallin was SIMPLE BUS (website HERE). Time of trip: approx 5 h. Strengths: comfortable bus, with touchscreens. Weakness: drivers did not speak english. 

If you travel by plane check Air Baltic airlines (website HERE).

Places I recommend to visit:

JURMALA- town with beautiful shore, couple of miles away from Riga. To get there from Riga use rail, which is neither cheap nor comfy, but fast and reliable (website HERE).

MEZAPARKS- a 'forest-alike' complex. It represents proudly the Nature of Latvia. Most of it, is still not spoiled with humans interference. 

CITY CENTRE OF RIGA- The city is an eclectic bomb mixing adorable Art Nouveau architecture with post-industrial and post-communists leavings. The best way to see it all is to walk through it. Route I took was from  Albert Street, through Bastejkalns Park, Brivibas Pieminieklis (with Freedom Monument- very important for Latvians), Central Market (opportunity to buy local food) to 11 Novermbra Krastmala, where on you can enjoy view of the Daugava river. 

Where to eat?

LIDO (website is HERE)- restaurant with open bar, where you can chose whatever looks the most deliciously for you!

PELMENI (location and more info HERE)- delicious pasta alike food, with fillings as per choice (also vegetarian option) served with cream and local vegetables.

What I loved?

Kiploku Grauzdini (fried garlic bread). It is definitely not healthy and fat as hell, but so -so- very delicious!

.

RECENT LOOK AND RANDOM THOUGHTS

 Here you have one of my recent looks- so influenced by Anthony Vacarello for Versus Versace, but adapted to office environment, where I have to follow given rules and directions. Part, which I personally love about this look the most is wedges from OFFICE SHOES- the most comfortable footwear ever!

Apart from fashion-inspiration I also want to share amazing music set with you. Lately it is becoming a custom for me to provide you with some tune inspiration on Fridays (like HERE).

I think I am going to cultivate it a bit more, because I love music and I can spend hours on-line when looking for perfect songs and DJ sets. Some of you may remember that I also check for all events in my neighbourhood, so I will be able to enjoy live music events. (like HERE or HERE). I think that there would be nothing more sad than world without music... Constant silence? Owh... not for me, thank you.

Today again I am planning to enjoy a music event- today in Brno. It will be four sets of DJs- two Brno citizens and two Portuguese. Set above is of one of them (you can check more music on soundcloud.com HERE, HERE or HERE)  and as I like it a lot I am having very good feelings about the party.

Have a joyful weekend,
xoxo

MUST HAVE ALERT! WHAT DO I NEED FOR AUTUMN???

Autumn begun and all airy dresses has to be replaced with warmer alternatives such as jumpers, coats, hats...  Even though I am not a huge fan of cold, I am actually excited with idea of wearing my favorite boots, and sweaters, 'cos I kinda missed them during boiling summer weather. I am also quite excited with the idea of creating a WISH LIST, full items I-JUST-HAVE-TO-HAVE to make my wardrobe complete for new season. This winter I am going to invest money into 5 ESSENTIALS to enrich my wardrobe, match with everything I have and make me feel so styled up! What is it going to be?

1. oversized coat in dark gray or black- to keep me warm from head to toe

2. gray turtle neck jumper- to warm up and look amazing to both pants and shirt skirts

3. simple and classy white shirt- cos I love Phebe Philio style

4. all leather looks- cos its next season, when it is all about leather

5. peep toes with knee lenght socks- ok, I know there is lots of people, who hate it, but... firstly I don't want to get rid of my sandals yet and secondly I think it looks kinda cool...

Wish list is one thing and common sense is something else. As you remember from HERE or HERE I am very focused on taking care of my budget recently, so any kind of purchase I rethink twice as well as I am hungry for SALES and DISCOUNTS. I made a bit of a research and discovered Raise Market (HERE is website). It is amazing place which is both offering  a 15% discounted gift cards to my beloved shops such as ZARA, UNIQLO or H&M (HERE) and cash unwanted ones (HERE). Now when I feel forgiven due to this economically oriented attitude, I can happily enjoy the shopping!
