Spanish Travel Diary: Day 1 - Rosas & Barcelona September 20 2016, 1 Comment

Rosas is an essentially Mediterranean town with a notable tourist and seafaring tradition. Located in a unique natural environment in the northern area of the Costa Brava, it is less than 30 km from the French border and 160 km from Barcelona, so therefore it was my first stop on a "Spanish" tour. Rosas origins date back to the eighth century BC with the arrival of the Greeks. It is a modern town, which is culturally active with its proud traditions. It offers excellent shopping, restaurants, bars, beautiful beaches and fun nightlife. 
Rosas is near to some of the most attractive and least crowded beaches of the Costa Brava. Just down the road, the vast stretch of beach runs all the way to historic Sant Martí de Empuries.
After enjoying Rosas, there comes the outstanding 
Barcelona with i's historic sights, fantastic restaurants with delicious tapas, world-class museums and art galleries. Heaven for every artistic soul...
Always inspired by great architecture, the first thing to see in Barcelona was Antonio Gaudi's magnum opus, the most visited monument in Barcelona, church Sagrada Familia. With its most amazing arches, towers and Nativity facade, Sagrada Familia truly is a masterpiece like no other. La Pedrera is another Gaudi's jewel worth visiting. Apartment building, 
commissioned in 1906 by businessman Pere Milà i Camps and his wife Roser Segimon i Artells, is the result of two buildings, which are structured around two courtyards that provide light to the nine levels: basement, ground floor, mezzanine, main or noble floor, four upper floors, and an attic, distributing 20 homes for rent. One of the most significant parts of the building is definitely the roof with skylights, staircase exits, fans and chimneys. All of these elements are constructed from timbrel and coated with limestone, broken marble or glass and have become real sculptures integrated into the building.
Amazing to see is also Barcelona Cathedral. Gothic cathedral, dedicated to young virgin Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, whose body is entombed in the cathedral's crypt, has an outstanding chapels and crypt with beautiful atrium, where you'll find cathedral's garden, fountain and even geese. 

Let me close this blog post with the most amazing thought: "Each makes use of the gift God has given them. Developing this gifts is the highest social perfection. One who builds and must do things should not criticize the works of others, nor defend their own, but make and direct criticisms against their own works to purify and improve them."
Antonio Gaudi

My Personal Style: Beachin' With Statement Belt August 28 2016, 0 Comments

Statement belt is certainly an accessory that can make any look glamorous in an instant. Also, when we come down to beach outfits. I like to keep it simple, with a nice bikini and cool tunic or scarf, but it's the belt, along with other accessories - if you dare to go a bit further, that will add that extra bit of style to your look. So, fill your closet with outstanding waist pieces and take your beach look to the next level by slipping on that gorgeous belt.

Get The Ultimate Summer Trend And Become The Lie By JPZ Stylemaker - Straw Bag Mania! August 08 2016, 3 Comments

There is nothing more beautiful when traditional craft meets fashion and luxury. This is when craft becomes art...
The manufacture of woodenware is one of the oldest and most widespread handicrafts in Slovenia, called "suha roba". In the 15th century, the inhabitants of the Ribnica and Kočevje regions were granted the right to sell their woodenware and pottery products throughout the Hapsburg's Austrian Empire, and the Ribnica peddler or so called »krošnjarji« became famous – travelling salesmen who packed their goods in a basket and sold them throughout Slovenia, the Alpine countries and Dalmatia. They even traded with Africa and India and became a familiar and welcome figure across Europe.
Today, even though the tradition of "suha roba" and "the krošnjarji" is only kept alive by a few, heritage of manufacturing continues also through luxurious The Lie by JPZ straw bags, combining quality, tradition, luxury and impeccable style.

My Personal Style: '90s Look For A Ferry Trip July 24 2016, 6 Comments

The '90s trends made a huge comeback and they are not going away quite yet. And, it's the '90s that I draw inspiration from for my casual look on a ferry boat.
You know, that history tends to repeat itself and the saying definitely holds true in the fashion industry.
Here are a few trends from the '90s, you simply must rock this summer:
CHOKER: do you remember the tattoo style version? I guess we all wore them. The look lives on and you can do it in a more sophisticated way - with a black leather strap or, go even further and choose them in different colours or materials (such as metal) for a truly glamorous appearance.
FLORAL PRINT: the floral print in little daisy prints has made a strong comeback and it's just perfect for romantic summer outfits.
PLATFORMS: Even though you thought you'd never see sky high platforms again, they are BACK! You can certainly go for a more sophisticated version with a block heel.
FLANNEL: nineties grunge is back and more polished than ever, so the flannel shirts are here. Wear it or tie it around your hips for a more super cool look.
DENIM: what are 90's without denim? Well, they don't exist... So, denim jackets, high waisted jeans and hot pants are a must!
CROP TOP: the belly baring shirts were a '90s staple and they are back! Either for sporty and casual looks or in a more sophisticated tone in combination with high waistline umbrella and pencil skirts or pants.

My Personal Style: Black Shirt Dress On Prvić Island July 06 2016, 4 Comments

A summer staple, easy-to-wear easy-to-go + looking extremely chic: The shirt dress. From office to bar, keep it classic with  Shirt Dress - whether simple and sleek or fancy and feminine. And when talking about fancy and feminine aka long shirt dress - well, this is when you'll get the oh wow effect with plenty of compliments! There is something with summer and long dresses, a special love affair which only works in this time of period. And that is why you should embrace the opportunity and wear long dresses as much as you can. They make you feel extremely beautiful, sensual and glamorous and, despite the length, they are comfortable! Hiding everything you want to hide or showing what you want show. Especially perfect for this is a shirt dress. With opening or closing the buttons you will achieve the desirable effect. I love to wear mine more loose, with a statement bra and some cool body chain to really elevate the look and making it more special. 

With our sassy The Lie by JPZ  long shirt dress we'll definitely take you from an effortless day edge to making an entrance at the summer cocktail party...

My Personal Style: White Button Down, Jeans & Straw Bag To Never Fail In Summer June 23 2016, 2 Comments

You can never be overdressed or underdressed with a cool pair of jeans, beautiful white button down and a chic straw bag. I dare to claim that these are actually the essential pieces in summer months. Throw on flats and go cosy chic or elevate the look with a pair of beautiful heels and you are ready to rock beautiful summer evenings. 
This set of pictures was taken in marvelous Krka National Park, l
ocated along the middle-lower course of the Krka River in central Dalmatia, in Šibenik-Knin county. With its magnificent waterfalls, this beautiful sight, counted among Croatia's most famous, truly is a must see. 
With the outstanding nature, the scenery was just right for this casual combo for comfortable yet stylish sightseeing.

My Personal Style: Red Jumpsuit For Saturday Night Out June 11 2016, 1 Comment

Red is the color of extremes. It's the color of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure. Having said that, it is the perfect color for Saturday night out and what better way than doing it effortless cool in our luxurious all-in-one.

Yes, jumpsuits are effortless, chic and fun. But there are some good tips and tricks you should follow :

  1. Finding a jumpsuit that fits your body perfectly is key to looking polished and put together. Don’t wear anything too tight or too loose.
  2. Don’t loose your figure. A lot of jumpsuits have either a cloth belt or you can easily add your own belt to define your waist if the jumpsuit isn’t tailored. Emphasising your waist is a great way to give you that curvy look.
  3. A jumpsuit can easily be dressed up for a formal event, when the style of the jumpsuit is appropriate. All you have to do is accessorize it to fit the party.

So, this Saturday, add some attitude to your wardrobe, make a statement at the party and go for our sexy red jumpsuit, spiced up with green tassel pochette!

My Personal Style: Desert Statements May 20 2016, 3 Comments

Desert statements in the Red Rock Valley... 
I guess words can not describe how much I love the photogenic nature of Nevada state. It
 is located in a mountainous region that includes vast semiarid grasslands and sandy alkali deserts and it is one of the most beautiful places to take amazing pictures - light, colours, sky - everything is just perfect.  Last time while in Las Vegas, we've been exploring the Red Rock Valley, and the scenery was just right for a chic black & white outfit with our playful clutch and statement fur trimmed jacket from FW 2014 From Russia With Love Collection.

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: 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.

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.

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.
