THE PREVIEW

So, despite the terrible business of currently having a flu, my cam deleting 50% of my recently taken photos and the snow outside , I am keeping the chin (and the mood) up.The fact that I feel as someone has taken a hammer and smacked me in the head,isn't stopping me as I am soon off to LFW.
I wanted to show you a little preview of something I would typically wear for the occasion.Although I can't wait to wear this PP skirt with a  plain white T, I'll have to wait for spring to arrive-in the meantime I am paring it with equally psychedelic sweater from Alexander Wang.

Sweater by A.Wang, skirt by Peter Pilotto, Balenciaga clutch and Ch's leather jacket.

GROSSLY TAPERED

This sprin I want to own a pair of really, really tapered and really, really long jeans. You know, the kind that would make 70's flare look like a pair of skinnies.

The bigger (taper) the better. Maybe a pair from Stella Mccartney

PARISIENNE

Ok, I proudly present my first item in my Saint Laurent future-to-be collection, the pointy patent pumps.
In the spirit of a true french label it was only inevitable pairing it with Breton stripes and a peacoat, at least for the day, or rather after work hours. But I guess simplicity and a dose of charm foes long way. As

my love couldn't  be here for Valentines we took the celebration a little early and went for a dinner,just relaxing and discussing the upcoming FW. I guess that is the big subject for the time being as it is always an endlessly exciting theme - for me at least(he just nicks and smiles...)

Peacoat from D&G, Rag&Bone sweater, my favorite Diesel jeans, Marc Jacobs pumps and Saint Laurent pumps.

AAT

 ALEXANDER WANG

Wasit just me, dear readers, or have many of you had the feeling of a genius growing up and in that adding a more refined touch to his garments?Because that was what I felt, and I loved it! It was as Alexander Wang wasn't showing the skeptics that he is able to take over Balenciaga, it was more like he just efortlessly proved it, presenting a very clean, cool and so refined collection, with the accents on textures and workmanship rather than on cool gimmicks.
 I know I was head over my heels for the collection and am already looking forward to Moda Operandi having a trunkshow.

ALTUZARRA

Well, if somebody knows how to turn up the heat is Joseph Alutzarra. Those skirts,the cut, the split! are MG to my O,and look fabulous with the ankle boots. I love the fact that he takes so well notes from the street and reinterpret them in his work. 

THEYSKEN'S THEORY

I am sucker for everything Olivier Theyskens does, I have to admit. Maybe it still appeals to a grown up version of my post adolescent goth and metal geek. Anyhow, I love that accents in my favorite looks are on simplicity and colors; and a perfectly tailored slouchy fit. 

LOVELY WEATHER

Today was one of those days where you can almost feel the spring in the air (or maybe it's the flowers I got yesterday are making me an optimistic,ref: Instagram). It's still cold but the sun is out and warming, and you see the signs of nature awaking here and there. SO, my dating came back today and we took a little stroll- as we usually do on Sundays and just enjoyed the fresh air. I am channeling the cool and the easy , with some leather and denim, and just layering textures.

And have you seen Wang's latest? I am a biiiiiig fan, it was all about silhouette and textures which is , o so, down my lane.

I am wearing Acne bomber,boots and sunnies, Isabel Marant Etoile´ cardi, Givenchy skirt, Marc Mcnairy shirt and The Manual&Co purse

HIGH PACE

Prabal Gurung is one of those fashion geniuses that every season deliver high octane  my-pulse-to-the-ruff collection. Although not so very street friendly, it left a lot of room for interpreting upcoming trends and me at least, in the state of dream, thinking of all the occasions I could wear those perfectly structured charmeuse dresses. But to be frank, I am more of a street gal and above all the looks these two stood out.

The silhouette and the cut were a pure turn on, both physically and  emotionally, as I started manically to look after fur coats on the net....

And  me who thought that I am so over winter...

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Happy weekend lovely readers! I for my part am taking a long well-earned rest before I head over to London, (where I hope it won't snow??). I am anxious to show you my FW survival kit and some glimpses of what I will be wearing. In the meantime I am showing off my newest sale treasure the Celine white leather top, which I used here underneath the chunky knit. The main reason is that although it's dry on the ground it's still winter here, and layering is well- a necessity.

For quite sometime I have been avoiding pairing the above-mentioned as they reminded me more on Howard Wollowitz from BBT, but it grew on me (once again not because of the character in the series, but more 'cause of that nostalgic 70's and again 90's node) and here I am sporting it.

Oh, more exciting news I have decided to get the SL pumps, as soon as my salary hits my bank account, which will hopefully be right after weekend!

So much to look forward to!

Love,

Irina

I am weraing Celine leather top, Designers Remix swetare, Valenotino clutch,  old JBrands and Aquazzura Amazone heels.
