NEON + POLKA DOTS: VIVALUXURY FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY

Good morning and happy Monday, Everyone! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! As a blogger, I pretty much live on my phone! No matter where I go or what I do, I am constantly checking emails and schedules, taking Instagram pictures, adding reminders and notes and even editing posts. So, I guess it's really not that surprising, I feel like my phone is an essential part of my life. Always on the go, a great phone makes a world of difference in helping me keep it all together, which is why I am so glad Samsung Galaxy Note + Galaxy Gear came in to my life! What do I like about it so much, you ask? Well, aside from the fact that it's a perfect union of high tech and great style, I am completely addicted to the humongous Full HD screen!
Now, I can actually see what I'm typing when I answer emails, not to mention, it makes shopping on the go sooooo much easier:) Let's just say recently, I've definitely been indulging in some stuck-in-traffic-maybe-I-can-use-this-time-to-shop-for-shoes scenarios!:) I also appreciate the fact that I can answer phone calls, check text messages, emails, and answer phone calls directly from my Galaxy Gear watch. But, I think my personal favorite is the S Voice, which basically allows me to use voice commands to make phone calls, create events, compose messages and so much more! How about you guys, have you checked out Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy Gear? What is your favorite feature?

CASUAL CARDIGAN + STUART WEITZMAN HIGHLAND BOOTS

Good morning and happy Saturday, Everyone! I just wanted to say a quick hello and share a few images from a recent trip to San Diego. Emil and I made a spur of the moment decision to spend Christmas there, visiting my sister in law. The weather was on our side again, because it was unusually warm and sunny the entire time.

I guess we didn't have a white Christmas, but we definitely didn't mind that very much:) I'll take all the warm weather I can get! Hope you enjoy the pictures and have a great rest of the weekend!

VIVALUXURY FOR BANANA REPUBLIC x L'WREN SCOTT

Good morning, Everyone! Once again, Emil and I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I also wanted to share a few images from my collaboration with Banana Republic. I was extremely excited when I was approached to style a few pieces from Banana Republic x L'Wren Scott collection. Although choosing which pieces to style was not an easy task, because there were just so many favorites, I finally decided on these amazing peony-print pants and a velvet bow back blazer.
Not really that surprising considering how I feel about color and cute details:) Always on a look-out for cute separates, I think what I like the most about these pants, is the color combination and print. Fun and bright, they would look equally great paired together with an oversized sweater or a structured peplum top, and for me versatility is important! For today's look I paired them with a simple white shirt and a velvet bow back blazer. I don't really think I have to tell you have I feel about blazers, because I am sure my obsession is well documented at this point:) But the one I am wearing in this post, is definitely my current favorite! Perfect fit and length, I could pair it with just about anything from jeans to cocktails dresses! And how cute is that bow detail on the back?!!!

WAITING FOR TONIGHT WITH GUESS GIRL BELLE

Good morning, Everyone! I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! May this day bring you love, peace and happiness! Emil and I will be spending today with our family, so I wanted to share a few "getting ready" shots. Since, tonight's dinner is going to be a fairly formal event, I opted to wear a beautiful purple cocktail dress, accessorized with crystal & pearl jewelry and a sparkly clutch. Today was also the perfect occasion to wear my new Guess Girl Belle fragrance, which I am completely in love with!
The fact that it matches my dress perfectly, is just a happy coincidence:) Aside from my weakness for pretty perfume bottles and the color purple, I think what I love most about this particular fragrance is the fun, adventurous and flirtatious scent! What can I say, pink champagne, golden delicious apples, mixed berries, pink peonies, jasmine and violet, combined together, create absolute Magic! Perfect for day or night, it's definitely my favorite at the moment, so check it out when you have the chance. I completed this look with a fairly simple make up, adding just a bit of highlighting powder to my cheekbones and brow bones and a shimmery eye shadow. I also went for a super simple, fuss-free hairstyle, by creating very loose waves with a large-barrel curling iron! And voila! All done:)

What about you guys, how are you spending Christmas Eve and what are you wearing tonight?
