missguided
The masterpiece of architecture, Gaudi's magical La Pedrera or as locals prefer to call it Casa Milà draws you in and swirls you around leaving no-one indifferent. The same happened to us for this shoot. We wanted to do justice to a beautiful burgundy velvet wrap dress by Staša Randal.
Staša is a Croatian fashion designer based in London. Although very young Staša's designs have already been featured in Glamour UK, Tatler and British Vogue to name a few. You can shop Staša's current collection on Trendcy independent designer shop while the dress from this post is from upcoming Fall/Winter 17/18 collection and will be available for purchase early this Fall.
Staša is a contemporary womenswear brand founded in 2013 by Croatian designer Staša Randall. Known for its minimalist, clean and geometric cuts, the label is focused on fabric quality and tailoring, bringing together form and function in every single piece. ‘Keep it simple’ is the philosophy behind the clothes and accessories inspired by modern architecture, Asian fashion from the 1970s and 1980s, and 1990s minimalism. The collections are designed in London and made in Croatia.
I styled this gorgeous Staša wrap burgundy velvet dress with black velvet lace up sandals with feathers from Misguided and maxi pearl choker and necklace from H&M.
Another thing I love about this dress is that you can wear it dressy with heels or as a wrap coat as part of hippie look with boots and dress or denim shorts.
The other day Anabela and I were passing by the neighborhood florist on our way home from the park. She got in to smell the flowers, she gets really close and buries her head in the flower pot and breathes in deeply and then saids 'Mmmm!' with her eyes closed. 😃 This is when I saw the florist finishing one of these large, round rattan basket shoulder bags and I got one to wear as my beach bag this Summer.
I didn't want to style this rattan shoulder bag as part of an obvious Summer beach look but rather explore a more classic Summer day look (yes gold is super classic in my book!) with combining classic button up with pleated shinny gold evening mini skirt. Next, I accented the look with touches of red with classic red bandana, red lipstick and shinny, patent leather sky high stilettos.
I really love how this Missguided gold pleated skirt shines on the sun and how it compliments the raw, natural color and texture of this shoulder bag.
The currently super popular round rattan bag shape takes many forms, some wear it as a more polished mini handbag basket which I intentionally choose this handmade, maxi bag with leather shoulder straps which I will use for my morning market trips but also as a beach bag.
As another red accent option I wore Murano glass heart necklace by Trendcy designer Mandali Mandrilla from her unique, handmade jewelry collection, made in Croatia.
The button up shirt on the photo is a classic J.Crew tall, slim cotton button up which I styled off shoulder by buttoning up only bottom three buttons, I pulled it off the shoulder and tucked it the collar neatly all around the shoulders and up front. It's just important to wear well fitted skin color or white strapless bra and high waist fitted pants or skirt to keep this shirt in place.
Rock band t-shirts have always been an important part of the streetwear and pop culture. College kids would wear their favorite converse sneakers with jeans and their favorite rock band tops. Rock band tops have found their way to runways as well and consequently to many ready to wear stores along with corresponding chokers.
If you are a DIY type, you can cut out your favorite rock band t-shirt so the thin collar parts forms a chocker as on the photo bellow or you can purchase a pre-cut out rock band T.
For this shoot my friend and blog photographer Andrina and I went up and around the fence to get to this spectacular, street art location close to W Hotel in Barcelona. The enormous concrete squares are scattered on the corner of the beach and in the sea in a form of a large installation and are partially covered with graphite. This location shows spectacular views of the city and makes a great hiding spot for local teenagers.
My challenge for this look was to find more ways to wear my gorgeous wide leg pants by Blackpearl by Sara Lončarić. So far I wore this pants with elegant silk blouses to create high end evening or workwear looks but I haven't yet found a way to wear them as part of day outfit.
Naturally I pushed a bit beyond day look and wanted to see how these look worn with rock band t-shirt, elegant bralette and my favorite ear cuff from Trendcy.
Even though I wear a lot of florals and would describe my personal style as feminine and elegant I often incorporate rock & roll details, especially in my day-wear such as studded boots during winter or rock & roll t-shirts with denim skirts or shorts along with studded sandals in Summer.
