My Personal Style: Take A Little Coffee Break September 18 2016, 6 Comments

The importance of rituals... I guess the need for ritual is a basic human instinct, as urgent as our need for food, shelter and love. Everybody, everywhere seems to be busy and stress is becoming an assumption of modern life. So, it's important to take time for yourself, even if only half an our a day. I always love to take some time while being busy in Ljubljana city center and just take a little coffee break, sit down, relax and observe the people rushing around, some dressed really well and therefore being my inspiration and food for my soul... So, here I am, taking some time off during a busy day, wearing my absolute favorites: The Lie by JPZ statement shirt from SS 16 CiTy cHiC collection & black croc shopper with this amazing leopard coat from the latest FW 16/17 Haute Hippie collection. Yes, always, every fall, there is a leopard trend fashioistas just can't avoid, making it urban, edgy and super cool!

Travel Diary: Romania Part 2 - Clubbing August 14 2016, 1 Comment

I’ve seen a lot of the world and visited many parties. But, no one does it better than the Romanians. I love club Loft in Bucharest. It’s the perfect fusion of amazing kitchen, bar, breath taking architecture, good music and amazing party. The concept of dining which slowly transforms to partying is simply the best for me. With this original concept Loft generates its own special energy. Like they say – to truly understand what Loft is all about, you have to be there at least once. And I promise – you won’t regret it! There, you truly start to realize that dining could happen at a spiritual level.
So, now being at Mamaia beach, very well known for amazing beach clubs, visiting Loft Mamaia was a must. They open at 3PM, serving amazing drinks and lunch and eating delicious food spontaneously turns into a party. Yes, the art is, that you barely notice transition…
And what is party without amazing friends? Meet my party animal, The Lie by JPZ Stylemaker Buta Oana Elena! I guess I am a very lucky person. Through my work as a designer, I’ve met so many amazing women that became my great source of inspiration. But some of this relationships turned to great friendships and Oana with her Otto are certainly one of them.
Visiting a beach club also demands a slightly different type of beach outfit. I love to work around a simple bikini, elevating it with silk tunic or scarf, belt, clutch and a lot of jewellery. Jewellery stack stack stack + layer layer layer was a key outfit component this time and I just loved the classic yet sexy result I achieved with it in the end. On the other hand - I loved how Oana worked around a simple white t-shirt, making her statement bra with The Lie by JPZ belt & fringed clutch the focal point of her look. Chic with a sprinkle of boho and a lot, a lot of sexy, Oana surely makes one of our favourite The Lie by JPZ Stylemakers!

My Personal Style: Flare, Lace & Metallics For A Sunny Sunday April 17 2016, 3 Comments

These warm sunny days are just perfect to embrace one of the hottest trends right now – the flares!
Yup ladies, get the latest 70’s trend and go for flare, paired with white lace and an elegant, well tailored white jacket – you know, how much we love contrasts… Flare jeans are great if you're looking for a fashion forward twist on classic denim jeans and look incredibly chic when styled with metallic pumps, oversized bag and a classic jacket (if, like me, you don’t want to go too much boho). So, if you've spent the past few years religiously living in your skinny jeans, you are not alone. But with the return of '70s style, the flares are back and they are better than ever!

My Personal Style: Saturday Night Black Textures April 16 2016, 4 Comments

Black always works, no doubt about. With it, you can never go wrong, though you might tend to be a little bit boring... So, step out of your comfort zone, just for a bit (or quite a lot actually) and play with different textures - a lot of textures. Combine different materials and go for a few statement pieces - yes, you can definitely do that, when creating a monochromatic look. In the end, elevate your look with a bit of metallic sparkle, such as our fringed clutch from the latest SS 2016 City Chic collection and you're ready to rock the night away...

My Personal Style: 90's Are Back And So Are Chokers! March 28 2016, 3 Comments

The 90’s are back, and show no signs of going anywhere anytime soon, and so are chokers!! But, instead of reaching back in time and throwing on the black plastic wire choker from your teenage years, find a classic and chic update with a modern metal hardware or just a simple leather strap which absolutely works 24:7 - from casual look to glamorous evening gown!

My Personal Style: Warm Weather Getaway - Las Vegas February 04 2016, 6 Comments

The cold weather has us seriously craving summer sunshine and warm weather getaways. There are different warm weather escapes - tropical, more relaxed ones, with retro, boho chic inspired looks and those in the cities and luxurious resorts, where you just can't resist throwing on some sexy but sophisticated looks. Let’s be honest, my dear fashionistas, the sun is what draws you to the destination, but the resort wear is what really makes it feel extra special, right? For me, my beloved Las Vegas is always a good idea and it's a kind of destination, where you can really go for overdressed looks 24:7, with no hard feelings, even when sipping cocktails by gorgeous Venetian pool. So elevating a simple black bikini with The Lie by JPZ silk tunic, silver belt and bag and some statement old Hollywood inspired chunky jewellery from all over the world (as many of you already know, I absolutely love jewellery, it's the key piece of my personal style, I am collecting it and I wear it all the time, even in my sleep. It's the way you stack your bangles and rings together, the way you layer your necklaces and the way you mix and match different styles of jewellery, that gives that something extra to you, your gestures and your overall appearance) was just the right recipe for styling an iconic, chic pool look.

My Personal Style: Green With Envy January 22 2016, 3 Comments

In fashion, there is always a good reason to make a statement. Strong statement. Whether with your style in general or just with a strong piece, you should do it and enjoy in it.
Fringes are hot. Fringed bags are super hot. And when combined with a timeless model, such as our trapezoid family totes, in eye catching combination of black patent leather and poisonous green soft nappa, it surely will make people around you green with envy.

My Personal Style: The Hottest Fashion Colour Right Now and The Hottest Coat Right Now January 19 2016, 4 Comments

The slightly dusty yellow colour was a true hit on the red carpet at the Golden Globe 2016 a week ago and while celebrities like Jennifer Lopez showed us how to rock it on a red carpet, here at The Lie by JPZ we surely know how to wear it any day! Our statement ruffled coat from Fall Winter 2015/2016 collection is an absolute stunner, a true statement piece, that will elevate any look. I love it, wear it all the time and here is an example of an elegant, yet still edgy look for a busy working day. I pried it with extremely cool leather skirt, also from FW 15/16 collection and black and white satin blouse from our SS 15 collection. I added another two statement to complete the look - our chunky wide belt and the cutest black and white cross body bag from calf skin.
So ladies, do you dare?

My Personal Style: #fbf To NYE Outfit Or Fur Stole Trick From The 1950's January 08 2016, 6 Comments

It’s not a big secret, that I love fashion icons from the 1950’s. And it's no secret, how much I love contrasts in style. Having said that, my NYE outfit choice was definitely inspired by stated above. 
Lately, at every corner you turn, someone is wrapped up in one. In every city across the globe, magazines state that you need one. And bloggers, fashionistas or models all own one!
Here at The Lie by JPZ we love fur stoles and we used it wrapped around beautiful red wool dress and fixed to it with a statement belt already in our FW 2013/2014 collection When In Budapest With Tristan Karol. make sure you elevate your look during the chilly months with one of these bad boys.
I styled our elegant sequinned The Lie by JPZ jumpsuit (cause you just have to sparkle on a NYE) with an edgy, long black jacket with leather-effect sleeves for an urban twist, while chunky belt and statement bag added a sophisticated rock-chic effect to the entire look (which I love since I was a little girl and my father took me to many rock concerts).
And now comes the Marilyn Monroe, or rather, because of a modern downtown edge, Marlene Dietrich moment! - by adding our stunning The Lie by JPZ white fur stole which totally elevated the look to a whole different level!

My Personal Style: Checking In From St. Maarten November 16 2015, 4 Comments

Even though I love winter and layering looks that come with it, winter weather is no match for these sunny relaxing escapes. A super busy month is behind me, sleeping only four hours per night and even this was too much for all the work that had to be done, and so it was time for some rest. Time to come back again to my beloved destination and get some rest on gorgeous Caribbean island of St. Maarten! And when it gets down to warm-weather getaways, there comes the time for long flowy dresses, straw bags, statement jewellery pieces in bold vivid colours and turbans!! It's funny you see, that in the summer vacations, I always go for more relaxing looks, probably, because I am already tired of fever. But when I change cold weather for warm in the winter, well then this tropical heat gives me the energy to dress up in beautiful long gowns for the late afternoon and evening city strolls. Maybe also because I know I won't be able to wear them for another 6 months. I think that for this particular look I've got inspired by the jungle and all the beautiful tropical vegetation. Haha, I guess you agree, right?

Season's Must: Lara's Hat November 11 2015, 3 Comments

Whether you live in a big city or a small snowy town, chances are that temperatures are very low at this time of year, making us rely on super warm coats, scarves, boots and - here come's the best part - hats! Yes, here at The Lie by JPZ we absolutely love chill weather, because this is when you get the chance to wear all kinds of hats.
There are many different style hats that will keep your head warm throughout the winter months, but nothing does the trick like a gorgeous fur hat, known also as Lara's hat from the iconic Dr. Zhivago movie. These beauties will keep you as warm as can be despite the cold temperatures and strong wind. And what is best is that they’re incredibly easy to match with any outfit, since they add just the right amount of drama to it and also a tremendously chic statement.
What's your favourite The Lie by JPZ Lara's hat for the season? White, brown, red, green or black?

XOXOXO JPZ


My Personal Style: Travel Outfit - Fall Pattern Mixing & Matching vol. 1 October 24 2015, 5 Comments

It's been quite hectic lately, I am travelling a lot and already got the feeling that I am basically living in my suitcases. But, I love to travel, so I shouldn't complain much.
When it comes to clothing for long hour flights, I definitely prefer comfort, which can also be done in a very trendy way. However, when I fly to a business meeting, I still like to look chic. Being in a fashion business I can afford more relaxed versions of "business" look, or I should better say much more relaxed version.
What I love about fall is that there comes a whole wide spectrum of patterns that are simply not supposed to be worn in the summer, such as check pattern, which I absolutely adore. And also animal prints work much better in fall. So, this time, I went for a lot of patterns at a time - as you see, I paired stripes with check, leopard and even orange zebra pattern! Yes, I admit, I love the pattern drama!
This time, the perfect coat for my business trip to Bucharest became our black wool mid length statement coat, trimmed with black fur from our current FALL WINTER 2015/2016 collection From Russia With Love. It's just so chic, isn't it?
And yes, when travelling, I just love to wear one big bag, where I can put all the necessary stuff (and also those not so necessary, to be honest), such as our Basic Minimalistic Shopper and a smaller one, Where I keep my phone, flight ticket and passport within the reach of hand (because of course, in the big bag, you just simply can not find anything among all that stuff). You know, why wear only one bag, when you can wear two or even the third one, attached to your tote (that is of course, if you do not travel with the low cost airline company, where only one cabin bag is permitted on board – when did the travelling became so stressful???).

My Personal Style: White Bride In Valley Of Fire October 17 2015, 9 Comments

Valley of Fire is located near Las Vegas in state of Nevada and it derives its name from red sandstone formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of dinosaurs, 150 million years ago. Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the beautiful, super photogenic landscape. And so it was a must to make some beautiful editorial pictures there. Blue sky and red rocks were just calling for a white contrast, such as this chic ensemble of stone embellished jacket and long mermaid skirt. 
Looking for a winter wedding dress? This look is absolutely perfect, since the jacket has long sleeves, not to mention the fact that you will look absolutely stunning and innovative, going for a long evening skirt, matched with peplum jacket. And the embellished shoulders – aren’t they just sooooo adorable?

My Personal Style: Accessorized On the Beach August 23 2015, 9 Comments

Who doesn’t like to frolic in the sun in their bikini or one piece? And which fashionista doesn’t like to spice it up a bit (or a lot) with some beautiful statements? There is certainly a wide range of accessories, that I love to use on the bech – bags, belts, sunnies and jewellery.
Ladies, which go for a conservative look, a delicate silver or golden pendant necklace will both add a little extra something to your look. But, if you want to get more glam, be daring and load up on chunky jewels like our The Lie by JPZ silver body chain and leather cuffs in metallic silver hue.
Do not be afraid to use belts on the beach – I love to wear them with my sarongs, to emphasize my waist, but sometimes, I love to pair most special ones also with one piece swimsuit, especially for a late afternoon and night of cocktails under the moonlight. Though heels are not very practical for the beach, do change your favourite daytime flats for a stunning pair of sandals for a cocktail party on the beach and seriously kick up the glam factor!
