Responsible Fashion Blogging

After reading an extremely insightful article on fashionising.com by a fashion critic, I wanted to bring up the subject of bloggers and vloggers and their growing presence in the fashion world. Although I personally do not define myself as such, there are many others who do and are proud to do so. Being a fashion […]

London Fashion Week: Mary Kantrantzou

I remember a couple of years back when I decided to play around with my own designer creations- mini dresses and coats, all with different motifs and patterns.

London Fashion Week: Peter Pilotto

When someone says puffy jackets to me for winter, I tell them they’re not me. In my opinion, there is nothing attractive at all in looking like an abominable snowman. Now, for a couple of seasons, they have not appeared a lot in the catwalk collections and I was very surprised to see this trend […]

Weekend Trip: London

Brrrr. Morning flight. Who knows that getting the bags in -10 would be so daunting! While patiently waiting for the driver to park in front of the airport, the possibilities for what to do during the flight were endless. Note for the future- never, ever eat frozen sushi at the Warsaw airport. Even bringing Vogue […]
