Tv Style: Jane by Design(by Zuza)

Jane by Design to był mój ulubiony serial 2 lata temu, niestety został zdjęty z anteny, kilka dni temu postanowiłam na nowo oglądnąć niektóre z moich ulubionych odcinków - to zainspirowało mnie do napisania tej notki na blogu.

Serial opowiada o Jane Quimby"uczennicy liceum, dostała pracę w nowojorskim domu mody Donnavan Decker, kiedy przez przypadek została wzięta za dorosłego. Teraz prowadzi dwa  życia - jedno w liceum, a drugie w świecie mody.

This used to be one of my favourite tv shows 2 years ago, unfortunately it got cancelled, but few days ago I decided to rewatch a couple of my favourite episodes and that's how I got inspired to write this blog post :)

This show was all about Jane Quimby a "high school student who got a job at Donovan Decker, a fashion house in New York, when they mistake her for an adult. Now she has to juggle to secret lives one in high school and one in high fashion."

Styl Jane zmienia się w zależności, czy znajduje się właśnie w szkole(z elementami vintage) czy w pracy(elegancki). W obu przypadkach opiera się na kolorach i fakturach ubrań.

 Jane's style changes depending on whether she is in school(vintage inspired) or in work(glamorous and sophisticated). In both cases with her it is all about textures and colours.

Zawsze kiedy Jane czeka nowe wyzwanie w pracy,wybiera strój w kolorze czarnym, jednak jej stylizacje nigdy nie są nudne!

 Whenever Jane has something important going on at work, she always dresses black (just like a super agent - Hahaha sorry, that sounds really wrong and weird). Her outfits are never boring, that is for sure!

could not resist :)

Powyższe zdjęcia są mojej edycji, poniżej możecie zobaczyć więcej strojów Jane, które znalazłam tu.//Those are all the collages that I made, below you can see more outfits. All the photographs below were found here

How can a girl not love a Birkin ? :)

My favourite one, but I am not convinced by the shoes...

If you are having a bad mood or just want to escape reality for a couple of hours, you should definitely watch Jane by Design - the show is supper funny!

What do you think of Jane's style?

Which one of the outfits you like best?

Have a lovely day!

Summer Style #2: Vintage Swimsuits

VINTAGE SWIMSUITS

I alway had a thing for vintage swimsuits. I think they are really lovely.

It's funny to look back on how things have changed. Now some people would kill to have a type of figure similar to the one on the left. Back in the days women just wanted to expose their curves. Now the image of beauty popularized by the models and the fashion  world is that it's better to not have curves at all. Still I think that nowadays it's better than a few years ago.

As you can see Taylor Swifts's style is highly influenced by the retro fashion. Below you can see a few swimsuits I found similar  to the one's she wore:

Here are some of my summer must-haves:

Summer Style #1: Let's go camping with Topshop

Uwielbiam Topshop za to, że wszystkie ubrania w tym sklepie są bardzo uniwersalne. Kiedy wczoraj oglądałam ich kolekcję wiosna/lato 2013 niektóre elementy wydały mi się idealne na wyprawę pod namiot. Tak właśnie narodził się pomysł tego posta, a że ostatnio po raz pierwszy wybrałam się na właśnie taką wyprawę, stwierdziłam, że spróbuję napisać coś na ten temat. Zapraszam:

Yesterday while browsing Topshop's web page I got really inspired by all the amazing clothing. The very first thought that struck me when I saw their new collection was "this would make perfect outfits for a camping trip". Since I recently have been on this sort of trip I decided to share with you some ways to look stylish during camping in the woods.

Wszystkie elementy z zestawu wyżej pochodzą z Topshopu z wyjątkiem turkusowego naszyjnika.
All the pieces above are from Topshop (except from the necklace - I just felt that this first outfit was missing something :))

Nie mam wielkiego doświadczenia jeżeli chodzi o spanie pod namiotem, ale dla mnie niezbędne są: krem z filtrem, spray na komary, nie pogardziłabym również namiotem, takim jak ten powyżej z Fieldcandy. Poleciłabym zabranie wody micelarnej w spray'u, która jest idealna, jeżeli chcecie się odświeżyć.

I don't really have that much camping experience, but my essentials are things like sun cream, mosquito spray, hat, you also can't go wrong with a stylish tent like this one above from Fieldcandy. What I would also recommend is a micellar water in spray, it's perfect if you want to freshen up.

Recently I've discovered that camping can actually be a lot of fun. Normally I would be the last person to go on this sort of trip - I hate insects and big forests aren't my thing either. Lucklily my brother who loves camping lended me all the equipment (who would have thought that CAMPING from all the things would probably the firt one me and my big brother have in common). The weirdest part is that even thought I came back with tons of mosquito bites (about 50) and lots of bruises on my legs (goodbe perfect legs for the summer :(((( ), I must say this experience was highy enjoyable and (I have to admit that) I'd love to go camping again :)

Do you like camping? 

Have you got any camping tips you could share ?

Celebrity Style: Karen Gillan (by Zuza)

Dzisiejsza notka jest, mam nadzieję, pierwszą z serii postów o stylu gwiazd. Jako swoją inspiracje wybrałam Karen Gillan, uroczą młodą Szkotkę, która jest chyba najbardziej znana z roli Amy w brytyjskim serialu Doctor Who (który to ostatnio oglądam nałogowo :D)

Poniżej możecie oglądnąć kilka zestawów ubrań inspirowanych Karen, które sama stworzyłam.

Todays post is (hopefully) going to be a first one from our "Celebrity Style" series. My inspiration for this one was a lovely Scottish girl, known for her role as Amy in Doctor Who - yep, it's Karen Gillan! I am obsessed with this series right now and I must say I'm charmed with Miss Gillan's style :)

Below are a few Karen Gillan inspired outfits I made. Enjoy:

Dress - H&M, Oversized Coat - Halston Heritage, Ankle Booties - Jeffrey Campbell

Bag - Mulberry Alexa, Sunglasses - shopzerouv.com

Mini skirt - Bandolera, Cat Head Printed Sweater - Romwe.com, Satchel - Oasis

Loafers - Jeffrey Campbell, Sunglasses - Ray Ban

White Shirt - Zara, Mini Skirt - Alexander Wang, Sunglasses - Karen Walker

Satchel -Proenza, Ankle Booties - Jillan Chelsea

Sweater - ustrendy.com, Mini Skirt - Bardot, Hat - Dsquared2, Sunglasses - Ray ban, Bag - Muberry Alexa, Combat boots - Diesel

I hope you  liked the sets I made :) Below you can see a few ones I found on the internet:

W mojej opinii styl Karen jest idealną mieszanką stylu retro z nowoczesnością. Po jej stylizacjach widać, że moda to dla niej przede wszystkim zabawa. W każdym z outfit'ów można również znaleźć jeden punkt, który przyciąga uwagę, sprawiając, że stylizacje są idealnie wyważone, a co najważniejsze - nie zieją nudą. Gillan umie również podkreślać swoje atuty, którymi niezaprzeczalnie są długie nogi oraz burza ognistych, rudych włosów.

In my opinion Karen's style is a mixture of vintage with a bit of edgy added to it. She tries to make each stylisation completely her own, also each one of her outfits has this one main focal point that alwas makes it interesting. It's obvious that for her fashion is fun and she's not afraid to experiment. Karen rarely wears heels, she mostly puts on some ankle booties, oxfords or loafers - so probably comfort is very importatnt for her (+ she's probaly not very good at walking in heels since in one interview he tried to cover up a hudge bruise she did while stumbling in shoes with massive heel). I love her style because it is fresh, fun, with a perfect dose of britishness added to it.

Thanks for reading and have a great Wednesday night!

Please let me know,which one of the outfits I made you liked best :)
