It’s always too ambitious to predict what kind of weather we’ll be having in March here in the PNW. I can always say one thing for sure: it will be gloomy on the Western side of the Cascades. I am very weather dependable and I need as much sunshine as I can get so when there’s none I have to make my own if I can: wearing warm tones, cozy layers and comfort food.

Sézane’s newest drop makes me want to dive into Summer head first. Obsessed with their swimwear, beachwear, dresses and bags!

The Sun slowly peeked out from under the cover of thick clouds where it’s spent the last couple of weeks and then slowly rolled behind the mountain all in about 5 minutes.

I have to admit when it comes to shoe shopping things get out of control. I made a lot of rush decisions over the past year but some of these shoes I’m so glad I’ve got I’d happily buy another pair and then 2 more in every color. Here’s my favorite pairs that are coming with me to 2024 from 2023.

I love going through my medical cabinet supplies at the beginning of the year (it’s also fair to add that it’s more of a medical closet than a cabinet) with 2 goals: I get rid of all the testers, half used and half forgotten creams and lotions and make sure I am well stocked on my favorites. Beauty brands are well known for discontinuing great products just to reissue them half a year later at a higher price and these are the products I want to make sure I have no matter what for the foreseeable future :)

Black Friday sale was a long time ago and let’s be fair - designer pieces almost never go on sale on Black Friday. Right after Christmas you can find amazing deals on highly coveted designer pieces. The only downside is that there’re too many options and the wishlist is so long!

It happens every year right after Christmas or NY and this year some retailers went all the way and are offering discounts on new collection as well for a limited time only.

This Winter season I’ve been noticing 2 major trends when it comes to knitwear: go bold (in terms of colors) or go extremely neutral. I have 2 sweaters with nordic patterns, one of them in red, camel and grey color way and the other one in every shade of beige and brown you can imagine. They are both very easy to style and so pleasant to wear as soon as the temps go down. I love that they are equally festive and basic and if I’m being honest I’m always on the lookout for another sweater like that.

The red trend has been around for more than a year now, however it has mostly been popping in on the runways, high end stores and amongst fashionistas. It looks like it isn’t going anywhere in 2024 and it is only going to get stronger. If you need proof - you will notice that a lot of items in a variety of shades of red were sold out even before Black Friday and the closer we are to the Holidays the smaller are the chances to find something in this trendy color that will tick all the boxes. Looks like designers are trying to catch up as fast as they can so we’re starting to see a lot of new arrivals in red.

Snow day outfit: MaxMara Teddy Coat, UGGs & a fair isle sweater

I spent all day running around Seattle: doing my Christmas shopping, making returns, then working at the studio and even did a quick lap around the building to walk my dogs: all in these shoes. Would the sneakers be a more of a practical choice? Absolutely. But I just felt like I needed a pop of burgundy red in my life. I don’t know if the trend got to me or maybe in Winter we all need a bit of color.

It’s so nice to get some snow on December 1st, I think it makes the Winter official. I must confess I like Winter - for so many reasons! The dogs absolutely love it, the town looks all dressed up and - well, I think it’s a reason to dress up too.

If you’ve ever considered getting a Max Mara coat there’s no better time than now. The Iconic Coat as well as Ludmilla coat & Teddy NEVER go on sale. Well, almost never. Max Mara sometimes runs a sale in the middle of January of February but usually their most coveted coats are excluded from this sale.

This year you can find quite a few pieces that were marked down at online luxury retailers even before the official start of Black Friday event. And YAY, teddy and the iconic coat are there too.

If you’ve every shopped at Sézane store before or received a package from them there’s absolutely no doubt that you’ll remember that as soon as you open the box and unwrap the tissue you’re greeted with their signature Parisian scent. It’s like no other scent and the way Sézane is describing it: “it’s the scent of fresh summer laundry, dried in the afternoon sun.” To tell you the truth I agree.

When I look through this year’s photos and videos I can tell with confidence that Celine Classic Box bag in Camel brown is my most versatile bag, the one I reach for most of the time and the one that elevates any outfit and at the same time is so understated and easy to style.
