'Be Cool' by Maria N

The weather can be tricky at this time of the year. The coolest way to protect your ears from the spring wind is definitely the Heli MG audio earmuffs. Add a pair of quirky loafers and the ripped jeans. The result is very up-to date since the arts has a strong influence on this season’s fashion. It also gives a great promise of the coming summertime and its more informal wear. The vest is also a great choice for spring as it is not as heavy as a jacket and it can be worn indoors as well.

Cozy and Luxurious Christmas to All!

The butterfly bolero, a stylish black-tie accessory piece, is also lovely at the relaxed Christmas Eve/ Day celebrations with the closest friends and family. The Christmas gives a perfect opportunity to dress up cozily yet luxuriously.

This look is great especially for the redheads. Maroon balances the power of orange and gives Christmasy feel to the look. The accessories with golden details put luxurious finishing touch on it.

Wishing you all lovely and relaxing Christmas holidays!

Shine on Ladies!

We Ladies should emphasize our femininity, what ever the time of the year. This lovely Swan inspired piece of Eco Furs works well in daytime too, both outdoors over a coat and indoors on comfy knitwear.

Light tones, off-white and champagne, are great for winter as they brighten up the dark days. Fresh combination with a little bit of Old Hollywood Glamour makes you feel more beautiful in the mornings and also the hot drinks with friends in a Christmas Party taste better in it.

Accessorize the look in a new way, don't follow too literally the old Hollywood Style to keep the look modern.

I wish you all lovely and crispy November!

Extra Little Something for Autumn 2013

Capes are just perfect autumn outerwear, you can add more layers under them 
when needed. And this particular one from Heli MG gives your style really that
'extra little something'! This lovely lady needs no extra drama with her make up 
or accessories, she only lets her outfit make the appearance. Add only an 
interesting, yet classic bag, maybe a vintage one, to give the outfit an extra 
individual look. Otherwise keep the outfit clean and modern yet edgy with the 
details.

24-hour Work Trip

It's summertime again however it's still chilly in most parts of the Northern hemisphere and my '4 or more in 1' coat makes a wonderful work trip companion so. To find out how please read & see more below.

- Wear the complete coat whilst traveling and only pack the lighter garments, accessories and the other travel essentials in your cabin baggage/ 'weekend bag'.

Tip: Leave a small space on the top of your case/ 'weekend bag' for the sleeves to slip in if the full coat is too hot full time.  

OR you can leave each of the sleeves unzipped a tiny bit and only slip your arms out of the long sleeves (below).

- In the destination complete your fabulous work looks with the different parts of the coat:

On arrival quickly lighten up the coat by removing the hem, slip in a lighter pair of shoes and fly on to the afternoon meeting.

 

Impress in the dinner time meeting by wearing a look constructed with the hem panel of the coat (and the bolero).
 

The bolero is cozy in the air-conditioned meeting room the next morning. Zip the sleeves and the hem back to the bolero when you're off to the airport for the return flight.

It's Christmas Party Time, Ladies!

When etheric Major Amasova arrives to a party in her layered signature style like no-one else's - wearing peep-toe ankle boots, simple-line winter coat and Heli's headband & mittens - she is not unnoticed. She loves to mix'n match colours and by combining different shades of red she creates an interesting look that is really hot in this Christmas time parties. With her hair up the lovely cape underneath the coat gets all the attention it deserves; opt for a vintage one if you want to create the most one-off look.

Christmas Shopping in The Spirit of Downton Abbey

Dreamy Miss Braveheart likes to wander in winter wonderland. Her thoughts are in the past times - 1920's  which is really trendy this winter. Long maxi skirts make great wintertime clothing as you can add some extra pair of wool leggins underneath. Be careful with the length of your shirts though not to lose the shape of your figure especially if you are short. This look is ideal for great outdoors including leisurely wandering at atmospheric, candle lit Christmas Markets and meetings with friends in an old town café where the time stops...

'50' Shades of Brown

Neutral, earthy shades of brown doesn’t mean boring, this time it’s exclusive and classy! 

'Miss Romanova' achieves very elegant look by mixing different shades of it. She adds a bit of black to sharpen the look up. All these clothes and accessories you can wear year after year without looking dated  - the fact is that good quality items actually almost look better after some time. It’s good to invest in classic, timeless pieces; they are real wardrobe staples! 

This look is finished best with some brown eye shadow and neutral, yet polished lips and nails. It will take you through the day at office into a lovely candle light dinner at a cozy restaurant.

She's Gorgeous!...in Hollywood

Follow my blog with Bloglovin  

The classic bride is having her wedding under beautiful chandeliers in Hollywood glamour style. The stylish invitations are sent to a large number of guests a good time beforehand. This dress flatters an hourglass figure, also a curvier one as it accentuates the waist beautifully. Also the tufted bag with a soft shape and materials has a touch of Hollywood glamour. The red soles of the Christian Loboutin shoes add something exciting to otherwise so polished look.

She's Gorgeous!...in Rome

The modern bride is having her wedding in daytime, maybe in Rome, and with only the most important people. The style is really feminine and grown up, lace is a today's big thing and really suitable for this soft, yet sophisticated style. This woman knows her style and finishes it with the stilettos that are also the must this autumn. She is confident to pick the statement costume jewellery to go with her look instead of the traditional wedding jewellery and accessories. Also the tufted bag's soft materials follow the style. The hairstyle is also soft and feminine and the red lipstick and high heels always make a great pair.

She's Gorgeous! Bum Bag For Hot Night In French Riviera

This outfit with marine elements would be perfect for a night out in Monaco after a relaxing day on a yacht. In the evening it's great to wear proper heels and show off those sun kissed legs. A few unusual accessories add creativity and self confidence to the outfit. Flawless, fresh makeup puts you in the party mood after a relaxing day. Some extra golden shine on your nails is perfect match with luxurious jet set summer nights.

She's Gorgeous! Bum Bag For Hot Olympic Games Clubbing

I like the idea of using recycled materials such as jeans in this bumbag and the same idea is in these denim shorts that you can also make from an old pair of jeans. High-waist denim shorts are must this summer, as well as combining denim with denim; like this bag and shorts. This would be the perfect outfit for clubbing in London for example, relaxed, yet glamorous with a sequin top that is perfect top if you have good shoulders and abs to show off. You can tie your clean hair into a tight ponytail as it's not worth using precious time in these hot summer nights for over doing your hair - the whole night of partying in humid summer nights will destroy any complicated hairdos.

She's Gorgeous! Bumbag For Hot Summer Day

This is an outfit for a lovely daytime walk at beach on summer holidays, on a careless day and far from all everyday duties. Bumbag is great piece of accessory to bring along for the walk, all your necessary items are in hand when you need them but you have your hands free. You can really play with the accessories on holidays, when the look doesn't have to be official. Now it is also right time to take out all your marine inspired accessories. In summer their materials can also be something else than just metal and leather. To balance the look bracelets can be worn on wrist opposite the bumbag side. Also all outfits should be comfortable during summer days and what could be even more careless than a summer dress - a play suit, simple and easy! Hairstyle and make-up can be as natural as possible which goes best with this look. Plaits are the easiest way to keep you hair in order in salty sea wind and at the same time they give chic yet natural impression. With colourful nail polish you can add a bit of a kick to otherwise light summer look. Flip-flops finish the hot-day-look, flat canvas slip on shoes are great on a little bit over cast day.
