“BE HAPPY” jewelry collection

Couple of weeks ago I posted an interview I did with a dear friend and Bosnian jewelry designer Armina Fazlić. 

This time I decided to show you her first capsule jewery collection named “BE HAPPY” -  each jewelry piece is photographed next to the photo of what inspired its creation : the bright orange color, gorgeous fashion editorial, passionate deep color purple or just cheerful summer feel.

My favorite piece is the one in the post head image but I really love them all with special tendencies towards pearls, lace, satin ribbons and color purple.

Which one do you like the best?

Contact Armina via her blog Black&White Heaven and order your favorite, unique and very affordable piece right away! Some are already sold out! There are no two of the same J

Enjoy lovelies!

Animalistic.Couturistic.Futuristic.

While preparing a number of exclusive interviews for you which I will post

during next couple of weeks as well as my visual diary from Slovakia titled „I Spy Chatau Grand Castle“ I decided to share one of my favorite editorials with you. 

Apsolutely amazing!

Enjoy lovelies!

Red passionista!

There is something truly magical about the red dress, the same as with red lipstick. It demands attention, its erotic, its romantic, its seductive and passionate and you just can't take your eyes of of it! So for all of you madly in love with your boyfriend, girlfriend, new pair of shoes or maybe that new red dress which is totally IN this season, I have selected a number of my favorite Vogue red dresses to encourage you to go for it! Every women should have a red piece in her closet! Not for her man - for herself ;)

I hope you all are wearing something red today, at least some lacy underwear. Being in relationship or single it automatically gives you that feeling of naughtiness and attraction all sometimes crave to have - today is the perfect day to bring it out! ;)

"I had on a beautiful red dress, but what I saw was even more valuable. 

I was strong. I was pure. I had genuine thoughts inside that no one could see, 

that no one could ever take away from me. I was like the wind. "

Shhhhh...Rihanna on American Vogue cover - FIERCE!

Rihanna tweeted ( Webster - its time to add this word to a dictionary. Thanks!) that she just wraped up a cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz! 
Can it get any more fierce? :) Love it. Can't wait to buy it!


"Just wrapped my first American Vogue cover shoot with Annie Leibovitz...Rah!"

Celebration gowns

There is nothing that makes a women more selfconfident, more sexy and more glamurous than a fabulous celebration dress. 

How to find the right one? The right one is the one that makes people's mouth form a WAUU shape on a first look. The right glam dress is the one that guarantees "all eyes on me" effect and a total burst of selfconfidence all through the night.

Here are the few I found particulary fabulous. Enjoy lovelies!
