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.

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!

Travel Diary: Romania Part 1 - Mamaia Beach August 13 2016, 5 Comments

Ever since I've visited Romania and Bucharest for the first time, I somehow fell in love with it. Beautiful cities, amazing history, nice people and most outstanding clubs and restaurants with delicious food are the reasons every traveler should visit this great country. And after beautiful cities, there comes luxurious seaside with beautiful Mamaia beach. Considered to be Romania's most popular resort, Mamaia is situated north-east of Constanza's city center on the Romanian Black Sea shore. Populated mostly during the summer, Mamaia is the perfect place for good food and music in stylish beach clubs. From a wide range of exclusive beach clubs, my pick during the day was Fratelli Beach&Club, serving a complete experience: delightful food in a beautifully designed restaurant and cozy big white wooden seats with even bigger umbrellas to protect and give you the much needed shadow from the hot sun. With beautiful beach setting and decor, feel free to go to the beach as chic as you can, since this is is surely the place where you'll see plenty of very good beach looks - yup, Romanian beauties know very well how it's done. Just throw on your favorite bikini and glam it up with some killer accessories - cool sunglasses, statement jewelry and a gorgeous bag will certainly do the trick!

There is a special sort of fun hitting the beach in chic pin-up girl attire. Curious, how to create vintage retro look on the beach? Just follow the next few hottest tips and you are ready to rock the beach as the real pin-up Goddess - of course, with a slight urban twist...
ONE PIECE: A sleek and chic black one piece is an absolute summer staple. Then and now. 
BELT: Accentuate your statue and elevate your one piece with a statement belt. Yes, even, if you are on the beach...

BANDANA: This small and cute little accessory in your hair will immediately create the desirable "wow" retro effect.
RED LIPS & NAILS: Whether you are lounging on the sand or sailing through the sea, red lipstick with matching nails is a must that makes the perfect cherry-on-top of your pin up sundae!
STRAW BAG: OK, let's admit - straw bags are big, especially this season and they are so incredibly chic and practical, you just have to incorporate ( at least ) one to your summer wardrobe.

My Personal Style: When The Sun Goes Down August 29 2015, 4 Comments

Croatia… Beautiful islands… Old towns with beautiful little streets… Stone houses with blue windows… Relaxed, easy going vibe… Sun, sea, freedom…
What I love about the island’s style is that you can look super chic for an evening stroll or late night cocktails in your bikini and straw bag. You just add some nice light tunic over and accessorize with oversized sunnies, gold hoops and stacks of bangles on each arm, nice pair of heels and captain’s hat and you are ready to rock the island’s sunset in style.

My Personal Style: Bachin' With Some Retro August 27 2015, 5 Comments

Love to wear some retro inspired outfits for the sea side strolls. An urban Beach Blanket Bingo (which is an American International Pictures beach party film, released in 1965, directed by William Asher) was my inspiration this time so a high-waisted, 60’s-inspired silhouette was a must, created by these cool jeans shorts. I paired them with colourful bikini bralet, lots of jewellery and aviators. And the key essentials to complement the look were of course The Lie by JPZ turban and this super cute clutch from patent python effect leather.
Even on the beach - be creative!

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!
