My Personal style: Parka Weather With Pattern Drama March 05 2016, 1 Comment

Dressing up should be fun and you should enjoy in it. And when you mix and match or try to invent new ways of wearing certain pieces - this is when it becomes really fun. 
As many of you, who follow our brand, my work and personal style, may already know, I love mixing different patterns, textures and sophisticated layering. So, today I went for pepita, check and aztec pattern with many layers. Or so it seem, because of this amazing double sided scarf, which is great to elevate your style, especially when worn with a belt, so you can nicely accentuate your figure despite the chunky knits.
And talking of knits - is there anything better in a cold weather than bundling up in a chic chunky knit piece? Nope, I don't think so. It’s the perfect combination of comfort and style and the key to pulling off this trend is mixing up textures and making sure that you don’t drown in your knit piece. As mentioned above, embrace the oversized silhouette of your chunky knit sweater with a statement belt and make sure to balance it with more sleek piece down below, such as a pair of amazing leggings. Doing it up in leather ups or statement parka elevates the style even further. The cozy textures of the chunky knit worn with the sexy and dangerous feel of leather equal amazing street look for sure.

XOXOXOXO

My Personal Style: London Textures February 14 2016, 5 Comments

Black textures with a sprinkle of white were the best warm yet chic choice for a super cold and extremely windy London. I love to stay warm and with the right layering you can look chic even in a very cold weather. The trick is in a few statement pieces and different material textures. 
Since I was three years old, I've been to London every year ever since. I like London - toast bread with butter (which tastes soooo incredibly good only there), red busses and telephone boxes (oh, so photogenic), unpredictable weather, beautiful cemetery on Earl's Court with cutest little squirrels, Covent Garden market and amazing musicals. 
This year was extremely windy, so layered look was a must. When layering in one colour, try to play with different textures - that's what makes look unique and interesting. As you can see, I went for wool (coat), fur (vest), faux leather with interesting stitching (pants), suede leather (boots) and patent leather (bag). Yes, many different materials, which work together so nicely, and I spiced up the entire black look with a white tee peeking under a black turtleneck, white Lara's hat and a statement fringed bag in black and white combination.

XOXOXO JPZ

My Personal Style: Pepita And Leopard - Fall Pattern Mixing & Matching vol. 2 November 07 2015, 5 Comments



As I already mentioned before, I love mixing and matching different patterns. When done well, this kind of looks can be considered a form of art indeed! This time, I kept it simple, elegant and chic, so I went for two basic rules. If you only just started experimenting with prints, I suggest you try this technique for a "safe" beginning:

1. Keep your fabrics in the same colour family
2. Pick two different prints that share a colour 
3. Choose one print to dominate and one as an accent.

You see, classic pepita pattern works really well with not so common white leopard print. The dominating piece in this look is pepita coat, subtly accented with out beautiful The Lie by JPZ white leopard tote. Leopard pattern is timeless and there should be leopard tote in every fashionista's wardrobe. This beautiful haircalf leather with white leopard print makes this bag the kind of statement piece, that can be easily combined with dark or bright colours and thus perfect for fall, winter and many other pattern mixing and matching experiments!

My Personal Style: Black & White 24:7 August 01 2015, 2 Comments

Sleek and sophisticated monochrome is always a big trend. I guess black and white just make the perfect partnership. Whether it's prints, stripes or colour blocking, working the monochrome look is so easy, there's none of the worry of wearing colours that don't compliment each other. The simplicity of monochrome, which I absolutely adore, makes it a timeless classic (Coco Chanel knew that very well), and that is why it's set to dominate my wardrobe. And beside the clothes, every fashionista's must is a statement black and white bag. Whether you'll add some graphic to your evening look with our Evening Envelope Black & White or elevate your winter look with our furry Trapezoid Winter Black & White Clutch, in any case, these bags will make your outfit look drop dead gorgeous!
If you're wondering how to wear this timeless trend, here is my personal style guide which shows you how to wear these chic shades 24:7.

XOXOXO JPZ
