Snug Stye | H&M Christmas

Snug Stye | H&M Christmas

Sasha Pivovarova and Joan Smalls in H&M's Christmas Campaign

It felt like it was taking forever, but we’ve finally had our first frost in town! A smattering of icy glitter makes everything prettier, and it makes me think that Mother Nature is on board with this festive dressing thing! Nothing’s more comforting on an icy morning than curling up with a roasting cup of coffee, snug as a bug in beautiful knitwear. H&M has nabbed a supermodel cast, plus Lady Gaga,  to show us just how great knitwear can be worn for the season. 

Read on for snug styling tips, and a very special Christmas pairing . . . 

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in H&M's Christmas Campaign

Whether like Gaga you’re going XXL on the jumper, and cosying up to Hollywood legend Tony Bennett (because duh! Wouldn’t he be the BEST Christmas carolling partner ever?!), or like Supers Joan Smalls and Sasha Pivivarova you’re nabbing H&M’s awesome OTK booties, there’s a myriad of ways to style up your knits. 

Oh, and thank you H&M styling team for OK’ing snug party coverups - how gorgeous does Miss Smalls look in her cream faux fur and white jumpsuit combo?! All. Over. It. 

In the spirit of, um, high spirits, here’s H&M’s awesome Christmas video featuring our favourite Supermodels, Gaga and Tony Bennett singing their hearts out. I defy anyone not to feel throughly festive and ready to party following this!

Have you guys got your party outfits sorted yet? Are you lusting after H&M’s cream knits as much as me?!

Hope you're having a great weekend guys!

Love,

Red, Black & Glitter | H&M Christmas

Red, Black & Glitter | H&M Christmas

Sasha Pivovarova & Joan Smalls in H&M's Christmas campaign

Controversy is often caused around the following: the date we are allowed to discuss Christmas. People, let's get this straight . . . The Elgin Avenue is a Christmas safe zone! As far as I am concerned, all is fair game past November 1st. 

November 1st?! Fellow festive lovers, we are just as keen as you to get this glitter ball rolling . . . !  

Nothing gets me in the Christmas mood more than perusing stores, their Christmas offerings and their accompanying festive campaigns. H&M comes up trumps time and time again with its glowing, sparkly, super-model-starring campaigns, and all the good Christmas vibes (and shopping lusts!) that accompany them.

I for one am totally on board with the red, black and glitter styling in H&M's Christmas campaign this season. That tuxedo, the perfect drop earrings, the ultimate red errrythang . . . !  And yes I would happily takes tips from supermodels Sasha Pivovarova and Joan smalls on wrapping those perfect presents. 

You can check out the full H&M Christmas collection here. 

What's caught your eye? 

Have an awesome (merry!) day all!

Love,

And I'm back!
After a road trip and a week spent in Vienna, I'm home again!
I will need some time to sort all the photos (if you are impatient check the Instagram, here) , so today I'm sharing with you one look made before my trip.
Inspired with Isabel Marant Pre Fall 2014 lookbook, I matched printed kimono with my new Adidas sneakers.
Hope you will like it!

Long cardigans are just my thing. Big and chunky for winter or oversized  for spring, how to resist them?!
This time I matched the one from Ivko, with distressed jeans and black slip on shoes from H&M.

I'm always in a search for a pair of good black jeans and here is my latest find. I paired them with new slip-ons which are decent substitute for leopard Celine shoe, added some accessories and my look was ready in less than five minutes!
Hope you will like it!

p.s. let me know if you find black jeans in any other stores, I would love to check them! :)

Yesterday we got covered in snow, and thanks to these photos you can imagine how it was. :)
I paired old boots from Zara with coat from Serbian designer ( already wore it here,here and here) and new lace dress in black.
