Spring folklore breeze in the fashion

As before I was showing my labels collection then today is a time to exposed my wardrobe treasures.
This is my spring -summer collection full of light dresses which unfortunately I can not wear as the warm season is not here yet. The weather still is chilly and quiet cold and changeable  




Today I would like also to present some orange accents on me . Not sure why but this colour is definitely dominating recently and giving me some positive energy. I bought lovely coral skinny jeans by Michael Kors .It is in shade of blending three colours : red, orange and pink with nice gold branded detailing and featuring logo detail to back pocket. I bought in the size American 8 it is like 12 UK. In my opinion should be a size down but this one is bit relaxed and more comfortable at least.
Jeans below I am wearing with different tops and accessories but could coordinate very well with boho folk mustard cotton embroidered top by Replay Jeans company . Straight away I fell in love with this lovely sweet piece of art. It is completely unusual and hand crafted which giving special artistic character and remind us about 60s. Beautiful green,red,pink,white,grey embroidered flowers on the front and on sleeves with extra decoration around neckline and horizontally and vertically .

White and ivory shirts time

White and Ivory or any plain light shirt or blouse is a perfect element of any universal outfit for any occasion. Look amazing special with ivory sneakers Isabel Marant and light nude TB bag and distressed light tattered jeans. Light top not obligate us and not restrict so much like the colourful one  and we can have a full freedom to wear and select at bottom basically what we like . As I am a fan of Isabel Marant I have picked some lace,crochet and Broderie anglaise fabrics .

Broderie anglaise (French, "English embroidery") is a whitework needlework technique incorporating features of embroidery, cutwork and needle lace that became associated with England, due to its popularity there in the 19th century.
Broderie anglaise is characterised by patterns composed of round or oval holes which are cut out of the fabric, called eyelets, which are bound with overcast or buttonhole stitches. The patterns, often depicting flowers, leaves, vines, or stems, are further delineated by simple embroidery stitches made on the surrounding material. Later broderie anglaise also featured small patterns worked in satin stitch. The technique originated in 16th century eastern Europe. Broderie anglaise was extremely popular in England between 1840 and 1880 for women's underclothing and children's wear.

Girl in black and white

Selecting clothes for my photo shoots and days out is really enjoyable thing for me . I am carefully picking single items to create unique classy, chic and amazing sets and outfits. It is possible to feel the passion, fascination,imagination, creation, patients and self organisation in the air. Everything has to proper match, look elegant and be in tip - top condition or from time to time could be artistic mess. The most important is the concept in the head and sense of style.
I am not a big fan of black and white but I have decided I need to be more diverse and definitely not conservative . I will have more suggestion and more variety of colours, patterns and different styles Sometimes calm and classy sometimes more extravagant. Experimenting in moderation is good special now in warm spring and summery season when all nature waking up and bringing us fresh and bright colours .

As recently  I am a very loyal person to bohemian chic world leading fashion designer Isabel Marant. I have created look based on Tribal Aztec Boyfriend H&M Isabel Marant Jeans. 5 pocket denim jeans with a regular waist, tapered legs, woven tribal stripes and adjustable metal buckles on the sides. 98% Cotton and 2% Elastane. Machine washable at 30C. Very fabulous and on trend special with white bohemian top blouse nicely embroidered in a similar style to Isabel Marant and a cotton - silk black jacket with zips on sleeves and small tiny white dots on fabric. 






My beautiful eye cat retro sunglasses from Moschino range compliment the outfit and gave spectacular view of 1960 girl :)
The sunglasses are lovely packed in sophisticated red big case .

Blue accent on the hill of Richmond

Perfect time to discover and explore green spring nature in style .
Richmond Hill in Richmond, London is a hill that rises gently on its northern side from the ancient Thames meadowlands around the site of Richmond Palace up to and slightly beyond the Richmond Gate entrance to Richmond Park, the former royal hunting grounds enclosed by Charles I. The descent southwestwards from this point back down to the upstream meadows is noticeably steeper, although the down gradient is less marked on its southerly and easterly progress through the park itself.
This renowned hill offers the only view in England to be protected by an Act of Parliament – the Richmond, Ham and Petersham Open Spaces Act passed in 1902 – to protect the land on and below Richmond Hill and thus preserve the fine foreground views to the west and south. Immortalised in paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds and J.M.W. Turner,it was described by Sir Walter Scott as "an unrivalled landscape".
The scenic panorama may be viewed from Terrace Walk, laid out near the top of the hill in the 18th century. This promenade surmounts the Terrace Gardens and both are Grade II* listed in English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.



I would like to share my blue outfit which I have worn last weekend . It was based on light neon blue skinny stretch jeans from Birger et Mikkelsen 2 day collection, silver sneakers- wedges which look exactly like the Isabel Marant Bobby model and bohemian paisley - lace top.




Paisley pattern

Paisley or Paisley pattern is a term in English for a design using the boteh or buta, a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Persian origin. Such designs became very popular in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries, following imports of post-Mughal versions of the design from India, especially in the form of Kashmir shawls, and were then imitated locally. The pattern is sometimes called "Persian pickles" by American traditionalists, especially quilt-makers, or "Welsh pears" in Welsh textiles as far back as 1888.
Resembling a twisted teardrop, the kidney-shaped paisley is of Iranian origin, but its western name derives from the town of Paisley, in West Scotland, a centre for textiles where paisley designs were produced.

In Iran the design, known as Boteh Jegheh, has been used since the Sassanid Dynasty

Some design scholars believe it is the convergence of a stylized floral spray and a cypress tree: a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity.(another name for the motif in Persian is sarv-e khamīdeh سرو خمیده, which literally means "curved cypress") A floral motif called Buteh, which originated in the Sassanid Dynasty and later in the Safavid Dynasty of Persia (from 1501 to 1736), was a major textile pattern in Iran during the Qajar Dynasty and Pahlavi Dynasty. In these periods, the pattern was used to decorate royal regalia, crowns, and court garments, as well as textiles used by the general population. According to Azerbaijani historians, the design comes from ancient times of Zoroastrianism and is an expression of the essence of that religion. It subsequently became a decorative element widely used in Azerbaijani culture and architecture.

The pattern is still popular in Iran and South and Central Asian countries. It is woven using gold or silver threads on silk or other high quality textiles for gifts, for weddings and special occasions. In Iran and Uzbekistan its use goes beyond clothing – paintings, jewellery, frescoes, curtains, tablecloths, quilts, carpets, garden landscaping, and pottery also sport the buta design. In Uzbekistan the most frequently found item featuring the design is the traditional doppi headdress.



 Those boots I bought in Spain for € 109 .The brand called Weekend which I have never heard before but they are extremely similar to Bobby type from my favourite Isabel Marant. They are much lighter than IM sneakers and also made out of high quality leather . They are comfy like a slippers .



and as a accessories my Miu Miu round frame retro sunglasses
Brown and black tortoiseshell acetate. Plum lenses. Gold designer-stamped . Come in a rose brushed-velvet designer-stamped hard case. 100% UV protection. Designer colour: Yellow Havana



Esprit navy jacket is made from sheep skin leather and is very soft and comfortable. i am fan of natural leather in different variety but I prefer soft type like sheep or goat instead of hard bovine.
Top is made in India but has got individual character, nice unique design and attractive colours.





The above skinny neon blue jeans 2NDDAY Birger et Mikkelsen  accompanied perfectly also with my unique unbranded blossom flower top and Bobby style spanish silver wedges sneakers.
This beautiful pattern on the top is so eye catching and look amazing on person.
