HELLO MOTO

Suppose by now, it's pretty obvious cobalt is one of my favorite colors, if not the favorite color. Something about this vibrant shade of blue makes me want to wear it over and over again, few recent examples { here, here & here }. And black, white & cobalt color-combo happens to be my particular weakness:) But then of course this outfit is a combination of  lot of my favorites... I mean, you know how I feel about structured & tailored pieces, like this coolest-ever slit sleeve, leather trimmed silk cape. Super versatile, I'm also thinking of pairing it with leather shorts or tailored mini skirts. So, I guess it's pretty fair to say, this cape will be making quite a few appearances on my blog:)

P.S. Today is the last day to enter BonLook INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY to win 5 pairs of sunglasses, including the ones I'm wearing in this post! So, CLICK HERE to enter if you haven't already done so:)

MINI MOMENT WITH BAILEY44

This is one of my go-to casual looks at the moment. I developed a serious addiction to Bailey44 a few years ago, and their Fall collection is no exception. Love the fact that Bailey44 pieces are made from super luxurious fabrics, and fit and feel like a dream. Which is, as you know, sort of my motto when it comes to style. Clothes need to feel good and make you feel good!

So, if you are a fan of feminine, clean and effortlessly-cool looking pieces like I am, check out Beiley44 website by clicking here. I finished this look with a pair super comfortable suede booties and my beloved Proenza Schouler bag, which, I know made quite a few appearances on the blog, but I can't help it if it looks great with everything:)

NEW HAIR & KINDA CASUAL

I've been thinking about chopping off my hair for some time now. Initially, I wanted to go super short, like Karlie Kloss short, but once I got to the salon I realized I wasn't ready to give up my long hair just yet. So, I went with a medium length and I am definitely happy with the way it turned out! Much easier to style, it looks and feels healthier and slicker, I think.

And who knows, I may just go super short eventually but for now, I like being able to wear a ponytail or do my favorite side-braid. What do you guys think? Long and wavy or shorter and straight?

MIXED MEDIA

I've been obsessively looking for a perfect graphic statement tee for a while now, so when I laid my eyes on this super cute "Cliche" one from Ily Couture, I knew, I finally found it! Perfect for pairing with boyfriend jeans and casual denim cut-offs, today, I wanted to dress it up a bit, and in stead decided to pair it with more tailored pieces. I like pairing casual pieces with dressy ones in general, because I feel like it adds a fun twist and modern feel to an outfit. 

I also find that lately I am a bit obsessed with mixing prints, especially floral and geometric ones. I think the key is to mix prints that have what I call an "anchor" color, black in this instance, and to pair a more neutral print with a lauder, more colorful one. What do you guys think? How do you feel about mixing prints?

SERIOUSLY STUDDED

Wearing what is probably my favorite leather jacket of all time... Originally, I got it for my Coachella trip { see Coachella pics here } and it's been my go to piece ever since. A big fan of jackets in general, I love the special detailing on this one, especially the intricate design on the back.

Definitely one of those pieces that has the power to elevate any look to the next level and look good with absolutely anything from dresses to denim cutoffs.

I love a fun skirt suit for Summer, and this one is definitely my favorite at the moment. Completely obsessed with the pale floral print and bright coral inserts. I had a Bailey44 event and dinner with my girls Kelly and Wendy, so I wanted to wear something that would look equally great for day-time cocktails and girls night out. Speaking of dinner, we decided to go to "Little Next Door" and I am so thankful to Wendy and Kelly for introducing me to this place and moroccan food in general! Everything was beyond delicious and I am still dreaming about their Creme Brûlée! So, definitely check it out if you get the chance!:)
