Fashion Trends: Animal Print

By Aless Gibaja

Helloooo little lovers! How was your week? Are you ready for the weekend? I cannot wait!

My favorite daytime activity is to spend time in the afternoon with my best friends and have a blast in central Madrid. We are always up to something fun and entertaining. Also, we are quite the trendsetters are all of us are very passionate about fashion.  

Although temperatures in Madrid are not like in the summer, I could not resist to wear my summer outfits. Here, I am wearing an animal print t-shirt with shorts. The animal print is very trendy this season. As for my accessories, I am wearing studded black boots and a star patterned Gucci handbag. Overall, my outfit was casual-chic. What do you think?

Harem pants are back, and they are here to stay this season! The trend is amazing because harem pants have the ability to transform easily: from casual to sophisticated.  

Moreover, the style has taken Hollywood by storm, I would even go so far as to call it “harem-mania.” See the photos below of the celebrities that are addicted to harem pants. What do you think of this trend?

Sarajevo

By Elma B.

I visited my hometown of Sarajevo two weeks ago. The weather was quite lovely upon my arrival and then after the first rain (as is usual in this mountainous city), the temperature dropped significantly. 

I took a walk with a friend in central Sarajevo, and we snapped a couple of photos to show you my Sarajevo “street style.” These photos were taken next to the BBI Center (a mall filled with cafes) and a park across the shopping center. 

Here, I am wearing a deep purple bag I purchased in St. Tropez, green skinny pants, a striped long shirt and nude pumps. As for my makeup, I am wearing bright pink vegan lip tar and with cat eyes. My accessories? Only blue crystal earrings. I hope you enjoy this brief snapshot of my gorgeous hometown of Sarajevo and my outfit of the day! Until next time…Xoxo. 

Introducing CROCHET DRESSES by KATIA PORTES

Introducing CROCHET DRESSES BY KATIA PORTES…

Katia Portes is a Brazilian fashion designer with a focus on handmade crochet dresses. She has a great eye for fashion and the perfect hand to manually stitch crochet dresses. It all began when she was just a child  and started learning basic crochet stitches.  Here is what Katia Portes herself has to say about the brand: 

“Currently, with a huge growth of people returning to vintage and wanting to personalize their style, and steer away from commercial giants like Zara and Topshop, fashionistas and other trendsetters are turning to handmade pieces. The handmade clothing is exclusive and will not be spotted on million of other fashionistas: it is unique and tailored to your shape and size. The brand Katia Portes is personalized: it is exclusive and handmade. The clothes are for people seeking individuality and exclusivity. We began working with a few pieces, and had several well-known Brazilian artists wear my brand.
The official launch of my brand is scheduled in September. The plan is to open a store in Sao Paulo and export the dresses from Brazil. 

The brand is unique because before the dress is mounted together, several people embroider manually the details on various parts of the dress; nothing is done industrially. My designs are inspired by nature that surrounds me. Nature’s patterns and handmade embroidery are characteristics that gives each piece special value. There is a mix of sensuality and Brazilian handcraft. 


Even though the short time on social networks, the response has been positive since many customers are enjoying the brand proposition, they have in mind a differentiated product, modern pieces and manuals. The pieces are delicate, stylish, and statement pieces. For the fashionistas who enjoy handmade clothing and trends, the brand Katia Portes is an excellent choice!”

In Portugese:

Com o enorme crescimento da demanda de roupas feitas em larga escala, percebí a necessidade das pessoas que estão começando à procurar peças mais exclusivas, e melhor ainda, com um toque artesanal. A marca KATIA PORTES, criada por mim, formada em Designer de Moda, é o local de destino para aqueles que buscam isso.


Com o lançamento programado para setembro, a marca já é sucesso, vestindo artistas famosos do Brasil. Começamos à trabalhar com algumas peças, fazendo a divulgação nas redes sociais como no IG e Fan Page, que logo tomou uma grande proporção e alavancou as vendas. 

Hoje temos planos de exportar para fora do Brasil e estabelecer uma loja em São Paulo em breve.
A marca tem a sua própria característica, única e artesanal, onde é trabalhado o crochê. Cada peça antes de ser montada, é passada por várias pessoas que confeccionam por partes, são feitos inteiramente à mão e em seguida o acabamento com bordados, sem nenhum interferimento industrial. 


As criações são em sua maioria inspiradas nos desenhos da natureza e são super diferenciadas. Estas são as características que unem um valor especial a cada peça, uma mistura de sensualidade e artesanato brasileiro. As roupas são para aqueles que procuram uma cara mais descolado e exclusivo.

Mesmo no curto espaço de tempo em redes sociais, a resposta tem sido positiva, pois muitos clientes estão adorando a proposta da marca, eles têm em mente um produto diferenciado, peças modernas e manuais.

One of my favorite looks for the spring and the summer are jean shorts with a basic t-shirts. I like t-shirts with v neck. One of the must haves for this season are ripped shorts, which are fairly easy to match with any outfit. A white t-shirts with jean shorts has become a classic. Below are several ways to make this classic look into a fun one.

Summer Ready Skin

By Noreen Saleem

Hello fashionistas! 

Who’s about ready to show off their summer look? I am not only talking about wardrobe; when talking about summer, it is vital to have summer ready skin and a prim and prep body. Just imagine, while laying out at the pool and soaking in the sun, you need to be confident and ready for the crowd.


In the summer, it is all about having that healthy and glowing skin. You will have confidence if you have a great complexion from head to toe. To achieve it, you have to keep up to date with grooming.

At Ease in Your Summer Skin
TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SKIN GLOW AND GREAT COMPLEXION

1. Waxing

Ladies PLEASE ditch the razors as they just make the skin rough. Please make it a habit to WAX. The results are so much better and last longer. 


2. Outdoor Exercise

Ditch the gym whenever possible and get out when it is nice, like early morning, and do jogging or join a yoga class (hot yoga is my favorite). The gym is great for vigorous training but to maintain your figure, it is vital to start outdoors. Moreover, the yoga relaxes your mind.


3. DIET AND DRINKING LOTS OF WATER

Everywhere, we constantly see people stressing over a healthy diet to achieve a fit figure. While a healthy diet is a part of being fit, it is not the only factor. The other major part is to drink a lot of water instead of soda and drinking less alcohol. Moreover, throw out white bread and eat whole-wheat and make sure your plate is colorful. Having a healthy diet, including food and lots of water, is great for your skin. Healthy food and lots of water have proven to show positive effects on your skin.

Beauty Skin Tip for the Summer:
Eat Healthy, e.g. wheat bread (throw out white bread!)
Beauty Tip for Healthy and Glowing Summer Skin:
 Drink a Lot of Water! 
Bottom line, when you feel great about your skin this summer, everything else falls into place, you will feel better on the inside and outside. Your clothes and makeup will look so much better while your skin is glowing. 

Stay tuned for my next post where I will elaborate on skin care, including sunscreens, and the waxing products I recommend! Until next time, keep smiling!

Dining in London

By Elma B.

Last Saturday night, we decided to have a fun night out. One of the restaurants that I really have to come enjoy in London is Nozomi. Dining in London can be both exciting and cumbersome because there are so many choices. One obvious choice for a great night out with friends: Nozomi in Knightsbridge!

The first time I went to Nozomi, I really enjoyed the mostly young crowd and the house music. People there came from all over the world and the food was exquisite. The menu is healthy and by and large Asian food. Several plates amongst your party will suffice.  We had a blast dining there and met several young and interesting internationals. For more of our fun night out in Nozomi, see the photos below. 

Sarajevo

By Elma B.

My hometown of Sarajevo is one of the most gorgeous places in the world. The city that once hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984 is a home to world’s major four religions: Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Islam and Judaism. Within one rectangle, in central Sarajevo, one can find a cathedral, an Eastern Orthodox church, a mosque and a synagogue. 


The people are very friendly, and the city is very quaint. What always stuns me about the city are its gorgeous surrounding mountains, which are very much akin to the Swiss Alps (as the peaks are covered with snow even in May!). Another stunning factor is Sarajevo’s architecture: the ancient Ottoman cobbled roads and mosques border the Austro-Hungarian churches and building facades. The city echoes with an imam praying on the mosque’s minaret and the catholic church bells ringing. 

I took these photos a week ago on a sunny day in Sarajevo. All of the photos are mine and were taken on the same day. Take a look below, and I will describe what I captured. I hope you enjoy them, and have the opportunity to visit Sarajevo! Please leave your comments or questions below!

Mount Street in Mayfair, London

By Elma B.

Good morning world! 

We hope your week is off to an excellent start with the summer being around the corner and the sunny days upon us. If you live in London or are visiting, you should visit Mount Street in Mayfair, which is quite picturesque, has excellent restaurants and some gorgeous designer shops, like my personal favorite: Christian Louboutin. 

For my outfit of the day, I decided to stick to my classic-chic style and add a bit of drama: a leather jacket coupled with my pastel pink owl pants. Below, I am wearing a vanilla tank top, navy long cardigan, pastel pink owl pants, huge round sunnies, wedges, Burberry bag and Swarovski jewelry. As for my hair, I just made it into a simple side braid. 

Next time you are in London, wear your trendy outfit and stroll around Mayfair’s Mount Street on a sunny day to experience the city’s chic neighborhood. Take a look at my personal photos below. Xo.
