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: Lost In Provencal Fields... September 12 2016, 3 Comments

I consider myself lucky. Very lucky. I found my heaven on Earth and it's called Plateu de Valensole...
The city of Valensole is located south east of France. Magical lavender fields with hypnotic smell, millions of bees and butterflies, delicious food and beautiful streets - yes, this is what I call heaven on Earth. 
It is a pleasure to stroll through the narrow streets of the old city and it's also a health resort well appreciated for its pure fresh air.
Situated in the middle of a magnificent plateau of lavender and almond trees, aromas waft through the air confirming the fact that Valensole is one of the most important producers of lavender in Provence and truly a place to charge your energy, spoil all your senses and rest your mind and soul.
With the outstanding scenery of purple, white lace gown was a look to go for, creating a subtle and romantic yet sexy and bold look...

Travel Diary: Romania Part 3 - Sibiu August 17 2016, 2 Comments

Sibiu is a beautiful city in Transylvania, located 215 km north-west of Bucharest. Now the capital of Sibiu County, in the past - between 1692 and 1791 and 1849-1865 Sibiu was the capital of the Principality of Transylvania.
Sibiu is one of the most important cultural centre of Romania and was designated the European Capital of Culture for the year 2007. You just can not help yourself but to fall in love with it, once you are there. With small streets, beautiful old houses, cute restaurants, bakeries and antique shops, Sibiu is almost a copy of Ljubljana's old town, my home, so I guess this is one of the reasons I was immediately stunned by this adorable place. When there, just relax, enjoy good food, nice people and get carried away by amazing repertoires - Sibiu has three theatres, philharmonic orchestra and an annual festival of performing arts, called Sibiu International Theatre Festival.  Interestingly - 
the old city of Sibiu was ranked as "Europe's 8th most idyllic place to live" by Forbes in 2008. 

Rich with museums and theatres, Sibiu is a place to see for every culture lover out there.

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: 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: Weekend Uniform - Saturday Superstar May 14 2016, 4 Comments

There is something easy about throwing on a beautiful statement jacket when the weather is warm that just feels right.  No fuss kind of dressing.  Add in your favourite jeans and sneakers and you are set for exploring weekend adventures. 
When creating an outfit I always focus on the details – what makes it different, special? In this case, contrasts play a significant role - stylish and elegant peplum jacket with edgy zipper, silver metallic tote, lots of jewellery, hair on point, red lips  and bold bra paired with simple jeans, tee and sporty Adidas Superstars is what makes this look unique and effortlessly chic. Just the kind of effect you wish on Saturday, right?

My Personal Style: Jeans, Grey & Pop Of Yellow May 08 2016, 3 Comments

Pop of yellow will always brighten up your day, especially, if it comes in a form of super chic and funny accessory, such as our furry clutch. In the winter time a luxurious hand muff, in the summer the chicest accessory, to which you can attach another small pochettes in different colours, to perfectly match several looks. 
Pop of colour always adds a lot of life to the outfit - it’s a way of adding a real eye-catching piece to your look that will draw attention! Adding a pop of color in the form of a handbag or shoe is the chicest way, while the rest of the look remains simple and neutral.

So, do dare and go bold with our furry yellow clutch!

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: Adding Drama To An Outfit February 04 2016, 5 Comments

Adding drama to an outfit is a fun and exciting way to create interest.  Drama isn’t reserved just for fancy events, but can be applied to everyday style.  Today’s look I added two pieces that create drama – over the knee boots and a flowing trench coat.  Longer length pieces inherently create drama.  My trench creates drama not only because of the length, but also in its movement when it dances with the wind.   For the sake of today’s post, I am focusing on longer length pieces to create dramatic interest.   I chose high boots and a long trench, but also try longer tops (high-low tops work great too), long scarves, wearing a dress as a top paired with pants underneath, or even wearing super long, street skimming flares paired with high heels or platforms to create that extra level of excitement.  When pieces stand apart because of their longer length it creates eye-catching interest and elevates the outfit.

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?
