FWLJ 2/Day 2

The second one for the day was probably the most impressive one of them all. It was like a splash of fresh and unexpected. Every designer was unique and o point out a favourite would be impossible. I must say that a few things popped in my eye. Nena Florjančič's glitters and Aleksandrabrlan's feel of summer and freedom took me by surprise. And besides the dress incident niOka was amazing too.

Who presented their collections was a common question. And here are some outfits that caught my eye and are extremely wearable summery and represent what I think will be new fashion trends.

FWLJ 1/Day 2

The first was impressive just because it was my first FW show ever and the atmosphere was great with two press friends, one of which was taking photos all the time. The soundtracks were amazing following by brilliant (or average) outfits. From Miro Misljen's innovative blue circus wigs to Simona Lampe's beautiful umbrellas it surprised me how much imagination the designers had to have. I want to point out Alice Bossman who gave her collection "Prihodnost" a futuristic modern touch and was my personal favourite at this show.

Still we can't skip the part where I show you how pathetic we press people look while taking photos of others and ourselves trying to capture everything while still looking awkwardly confident.

Posts about the other two shows will come tomorrow, so stay tuned. xx

#FWLJ

Someone (and by someone I mean me) is going to Philips Fashion Week tomorrow and on Wednesday. The news arrived so last minute that I have no idea what to wear with a million outfits in my head that would require a completely new wardrobe. I think it's time for some last minute shopping and reaching deep in to my wallet because let's be honest, last minute pieces usually cost a fortune.

I will tweet everything (@PiaLavriha) and put some photos from the fashion show on my instagram (@PiaLavriha as well). I will make a post about both fashion shows in the following days after the show. If you will be there to, then see you there! 

Zara AW12 People! Samples

One thing I love is checking my e-mail and finding Zara Newspaper in it. I must say that this one is by far my favourite, casual and elegant in one and it is exactly what I would wear in Autumn or winter.

Now listen carefully!....

Zara actually created a collaboration project which would like to collaborate with people interested in fashion (that's why it is called People!). And I am sure all of you reading this blog would like to collaborate and win a fantastic prize of 300€ to be spent in a Zara store. All you need to do is style a look that includes 2 autumn winter 2012 season's items from any Zara department.There is another possibility though! If you don't like to be on the picture you can also do a composition or a product photo that must include at least 1 item!

You have to register to PEOPLE! and upload photos from your own user account.

Every week they will choose a selection on photos and post them online. And they will of course contact you, if you win! 

GET CREATIVE AND START STYLING!

#Grunge fever

Again and again she is like a muse to every person she meets and her style is like an extra touch to her personality and her appearance. She seems to amaze me every time I see her with something fresh. She said she got these items in London that is the centre of fashion which I love for its wonderful architecture, arts and a number of fashion designers that surprise every time with their creativity. And just people like her who introduce new fashion trends, statements and styles can broaden our minds and make us see that there are many ways to wear our clothing items.

This time she again styled olive with spikes and platform shoes that gave the whole outfit an edgy grunge look. The collar is also spiked, and you can get similar neck accessories (I don't know how this is called....some sort of a collar accessory) in the Ab Fab store on Mestni trg in the centre of Ljubljana. They are made by a brand called Neon Vintage Jewellery (beautiful and not overpriced!).

Anna Dello Russo at H&M

More than the LDR collection I like the Anna Dello Russo collaboration with H&M, which is concentrated on accessories only which make every outfit a statement. It is very glamorous, just like Dello Russo, coloured in gold, green, turquoise, orange and black. If you don't mind paying a lot of money the collection is going to be in selected stores (H&M in City Park)  from October 4th. Even though the editorial video was criticised at first the collection all in all is wonderful and gives a lot of attention to detail even though it was made for a commercial store. Plus, I would love to own the gold cat eye sunglasses that caught my attention in a split second.

Casual Friday

Maša featured again in the following post in a few days.

Nothing says casual more than a thick scarf that can really tie the whole look together and make an outfit that can be worn throughout the day and in the evening too (if the evening situation isn't really a formal kind of type). I love the scarf especially because I hate the stares of random people and it can cover my face when tied around your head correctly so I don't have to face those uncomfortable eye contacts. And an old denim jacket is a must, for the new ones just don't fit the same as old ones which have an amazing story and have been through so much, when worn by previous owners.
