Thanks to the beast that is pop culture, anything even remotely resembling a schoolgirl uniform has been fetishized (thanks, Britney Spears and creepy porn videos.) The fact remains, however, that certain aspects of classic school uniforms are quite on-trend—especially knee-high socks and those that creep up toward the thigh. And guess what? It’s absolutely possible to pull off the trend and still look like a class act.

It is one of the most flattering, fashionable, and most definitely practical fall/winter trends, i.e. the knee-high sock. Wear them with heels, flats, ankle or long boats or with oxford shoes, they look fabulous. Winter is perfect timing for longer socks to keep your legs and feet much warmer. Be brave and get some knee high socks so that you stand out this winter. Never ignore the power of right fit. It is very important as the correct size can really enhance your legs otherwise, it will not be comfortable to wear them.You can get lot of ideas from this collection as how to pull off these socks , what clothes to wear with high socks , how celebrities wear them and much more.

Here’s how you can sport the classic “schoolgirl look” with high socks!

It might not be a gross exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of ways to wear a scarf. Style Aria scoured the internet and we picked out the chicest 10 ways to wear your scarf this season. Set twisting, knotting and braiding your scarf while at the same time giving your outfit a subtle edge.

So here goes!

1. The BT Standard (Also popularly known as the French Twist) – It’s easy to tie and will pretty up any outfit in under 3 minutes!

2. Knotted Necklace – Wrap the scarf behind your neck. Take one end and wrap it around your hand. Pull it through to make a loose knot. Take the other scarf end and pull it through the side knot, going under the knot loop and then over.

3. The Faux Knot – Much easier to tie than it looks, this is a style to definitely try this winter!

4. The Braided – This one requires a little bit of patience and practice before you can master it. Take a long scarf and put it behind your neck. Tie a loose half knot with the ends. Take the right end and cross it over the left then pull it under the scarf loop and over. Let it hang down and grab the left end (now on the right side) and cross it over the other end and pull it up and over. Repeat until the ends are too short to loop. Pull the braid to loosen it and then knot the short end pieces together.

5. The Barcelona – You’ll need a longer scarf or a stole for this look. But rest assured, it’s pretty easy to pull off!

6. The Turtleneck – Drape scarf over shoulder, with one end significantly longer than the other end. Loop the longer end around your neck three or four times in the same direction. Tie a simple overhand knot with both ends of the scarf, and then tie another overhand knot to get rid of most excess fabric. Fit the knot underneath the loop so that no excess fabric is showing.

7. The Infinity Loop – Here’s how you can create your own infinity scarf using a regular one!

8. The Twist – This twisted look is almost like a long scarf necklace.

9. The West Village – This simple knotted style looks so utterly chic!

10. The Gamechanger – This one is the simplest way! Tuck your scarf under a belt over a plain tee for a unique look.

We buy gorgeous heels with so much anticipation and expectations and eventually end up hating them when they try to murder our feet! To avoid all the heart (and feet) ache, we have listed down a few tips and hacks that will help you wear heels with more ease, maybe even everyday!

Choose your shoes wisely. Stilettos might look sexy but you won’t when you hobble around weirdly in them. Block heels look just as good and are way more comfortable to wear. For regular or long-hour wear, pick thick soled, properly cushioned heels. Wedges work great as everyday heels!

Platform heels reduce the elevation your soles have to suffer, thus increasing the comfort level to a tenfold. Also, another option you can try are insoles. Gel insoles are known to lend extra comfort and support.

Make absolutely sure that you’re wearing the right size shoe. If it pinches your toes or your foot slide forward, then it’s not a right fit for you and you should try a size lower or higher.

Carry a pair of flats in your bag when going out in a pair of high heels that you know you’re going to be wearing for a long period of time. That way, you’ll always have the option of changing shoes if your feet hurt too much. (Rihanna does it… and so do our stylists!)

Don’t buy heels online. You need to try them on and walk around to actually know if they fit you well before buying them.

WhoWhatWear recommends taping your third and fourth toes (counting from the big toe) together to alleviate pain from wearing high heels. The proof is in the science: there’s a nerve that splits between those two toes, which causes pain when pressure is put on it (like when you wear heels). The tape helps to remove strain on the nerve. It’s a hack that has women weeping with utter joy!

Ankle straps and Mary Janes are more comfortable than no-strap pumps, as they provide extra support and your feet do not slide out of place.

Finally, for everyday wear, try picking out shoes with not more than 3 inches of heel. Medium height heels are a better option that not wearing heels at all, and besides, chunky low heels are crazy popular right now!

Maxi Skirts – It seems that 2016 is taking a style cue from the ’70s! It’s the complete flower child fix for the free spirited bohemians out there, but this skirt length is also much more than that. The romantic, flowy maxi skirt is a gorgeous silhouette, and it can be styled so many ways. Whatever your personal style preference, we’re pretty sure there is a perfect maxi skirt somewhere out there for you.

The trend has now evolved to offer fashion lovers a garment that is both comfortable and sexy: side-split maxis. The beauty of the maxi split trend is that it can be paired with everything from a leather jacket to a silk blouse and can be worn in a variety of different settings.

A-Line Skirts – There is something wonderfully feminine and freeing about wearing an A-line skirt (which is wider at the bottom, like the capital letter A). It accentuates a woman’s hourglass curves—but, unlike a pencil skirt, allows freedom of movement. Instead of stepping carefully, one can stride—or even sashay! This slightly retro shape can be ladylike or wildly sensual, depending on the fabric and volume of the skirt. Stiffer materials tend to be more conservative and work-appropriate. And fluid full skirts can be downright seductive! The temptation to twirl is hard to resist.

Pencil Skirts – A black pencil skirt is arguably one of the most versatile items in any lady’s closet, and accordingly, should be a mandatory part of any style arsenal. It may have started as an office essential, but that doesn’t mean this knee-length sheath is strictly business. Pair it with fun graphic tees and sneakers for the perfect sporty chic look. Fit and length are the two most important aspects and you should never choose a skirt that is too tight (it looks tacky and it will be incredibly uncomfortable). If the skirt bunches or makes horizontal lines at the hips then you know it’s too small. As for length, a pencil skirt should fall around the knees, or just over, ensuring that the skirt draws attention to the slimmest part of your legs.

1. Please tell our readers about your background in the film and entertainment industry up until now.

I am 60 year old since July 27. During 20 years I have be working in the movie business as a location and unit manager. 

I used to work with famous French directors such as Patrice Chereau, Cedric Klapish, Benoit Jacquot etc… Then after that for 10 years I worked in the advertising business as a production coordinator. 6 months ago since the company I worked wit bankrupted, I had to think of finding a new job. I grew my beard longer. That was when people got interested in my look. I joined 6 agencies: Urban talents, Vip, Profil, John Doe, Master and Wanted and started modeling. Many photographers contact me to do tests or for different projects. At the end of January i have an interesting part in a video clip for electronic music. 3 days shoot. My career as a senior model is young but it starts well. I have great expectations. 

2. How and when did modelling happen?

7 months ago after the company I was working in bankrupted I had to think about getting a job in another one. As you should no 60 yo is kinda old in this business so I decided to quit the production business to modelling. That was a challenge . Fortunately new faces on the modelling market are very welcome and my beard was a plus since it is very trendy in Europe at the moment. After visiting some modelling agencies i was booked by VIP agency, Wanted, Masters, John Doe, Urban talents and Profil.

3. How do you cope with the strict lifestyle that comes with being a model?

We have to be very careful when getting to an older age not to be overwhelmed by the transformation happening to the body. It’s necessary not to give up and keep the same activities and life routine as when younger. This leads us to the following question.

4. What kind of diet/ exercise routine do you have to follow, being 60 years in age?

I go to the gym 5 days a week doing weight lifting for the muscles, cardio for the heart and some ballet dancing for the fun and a good body posture. Regarding my diet, I love food but I have to be very careful not to put too much weight on so I try to eat healthy but sometimes I fall for a nice and juicy hamburger full of carbs. No smoke. Alcohol is just a way to me to socialize.

5. Do you feel the strain of keeping up with the fast paced fashion industry, health-wise?

No strain here. I love fashion and its fast pace but we should not forget that fashion is a circle and very often it takes ideas from the past. Never get rid of clothes  it will become trendy again. 

6. You must have younger men coming up to you for style advice all the time. What do you tell those men?

Very often, thanks to my job, I am surrounded by young people either on a movie set or a shoot. At my great surprise most of the time they  compliment my look and ask for a selfie with me. Finally I keep thinking that getting older is not such a bad thing

7. Your beard seems to be your USP. How much time and effort does it take to maintain it? Do you have special products you use?

Thanks to my beard and thanks God it grows very well despite the fact I have no hair on the rest of my body. My beard makes me noticed and people recognize me because of it. It is not seldom that someone says to me I saw you there or weren’t you at this place the other day…. It makes me smile because most of the time they are right. 

Just like a woman pays a great attention to her hair I cherish my beard. I always feel like touching or caressing it. It’s very relaxing. I have to struggle with this envy no to do it too much though. Every morning I put some scented oil on it to make it silky and smooth then I comb it for the oil to fully impregnate it. This way my beard gets a shiny look. After each meal I wash it to be sure it’s perfectly clean. Once in a while during the day i use a little mustache horn comb to straighten it 

8. Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line?

This is an interesting question but only God knows. The only thing I am sure of is that one must stay young in the head and struggle for the years not to take advantage of your body. What I also know  is  there will be always a need for a 65 yo man in good shape and feeling well in his body and mind.

With a lackluster Golden Globes and a scandal-ridden Oscars, perhaps the one thing that tied the string of seemingly never-ending awards ceremonies for TV, music and movies was the red carpet fashion.

Between the glitzy Golden Globes, toned-down Critics’ Choice and SAG Awards, wild Grammys and glamorous Oscars, both lust-worthy styles and bizarre looks kept the fashion police busy. Read on to find out which celebs dazzled at the Oscars Red Carpet this year!

Cate Blanchett in Armani. Scientists have proven it is impossible to look at this dress and not gasp and then remain speechless for at least 10 seconds. We were pretty stumped for words while we soaked in the utter beauty of it.

Lady Gaga in Brandon Maxwell. For Gaga, this is a positively demure look. We think of this, in a way, like a Gaga-fied version of the Gwyneth Paltrow Tom Ford cape look from Oscars 2012 (which is a high compliment, of course).

Saoirse Ronan in Calvin Klein. Too glamorous for words.

Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton. Alicia Vikander — who has been the style icon of the season — surprised slightly with this yellow Louis Vuitton look. We’re not sure what exactly those — we’ll call them “sparkly caterpillars” — are on her dress, but she can do no wrong in our book. (We are slightly disappointed though she didn’t use the occasion to walk down the red carpet with boyfriend and fellow nominee Michael Fassbender.)

Charlize Theron in Dior. The Mad Max star was truly statuesque in a plunging red Christian Dior gown accessorized with a perfectly-placed diamond pendant.

Margot Robbie in Tom Ford. In a quite literal interpretation of Oscar, the blonde bombshell was a total knockout in plunging Tom Ford and Forevermark Diamonds.

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior. Lingerie-inspired Christian Dior had the Joy star winning for sultriest look of the night (and best blonde bob).

Olivia Munn in Stella McCartney. When flattery and form merge, a red carpet look lasts. Such is this apple red, one-shouldered Stella McCartney dress worn on the beautiful Olivia Munn, paired with Forevermark Diamonds. Minimalistic dressing at its absolute best.

Brie Larson in Gucci. The Best Actress nominee stepped onto the most important red carpet of her career thus far in a bold lapis blue custom Gucci by Alessandro Michele dress and waist-defining statement belt. Fashion star in the making, indeed.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy. Excuse us, we will be devoting the rest of our life to starting a religion around the cut-out in Rooney Mara’s dress.

Here are some new and fun outfit ideas for car wash skirts that you might want to try out now.

Create an easy and comfortable office outfit with car wash skirt by pairing it with a crisp short sleeved blouse and sleek strapped sandals. So go all-out sleek with your outfit, maybe have a car wash skirt made of leather. This way, the thick fringes themselves gives a lot of femininity to the outfit.

Throw  on a thick large sweater and a maxi car wash skirt with slits all the way to the top. It’s even more fabulous if the skirt is in a bold print. Pair the ensemble with neat white sneakers because it adds a lot to the casualness of the outfit without letting go of the chic factor.

A getup of bold printed blouse matched with a lightweight black car wash skirt and a bright heels can be  an ideal date outfit for the upcoming summer. The abstract prints of the blouse with hues of pink, purple and red and the bold colored heels gives off a flirty and playful feel while the neutral colored car wash skirt tones them down with a romantic vibe.

When sporting an all-out black or white outfit, donning a car wash skirt will add enough texture to the attire and you want that. While not entirely imperative, texture is something you want to consider putting in a monochromatic outfit so as not to make the ensemble too boring and bland.

You can also construct the “contrasting material” scheme with car wash skirt by putting on one that is made of something lightweight and breezy like cotton and matching that skirt with a top made of heavier material such as leather jackets and denim.

To take the oomph factor up, you can also have a car wash skirt wherein instead of slits in the pleats, there are sheer underlay. It’s super cute and sophisticated and sexy at the same time.

Solid shades are not only timeless, but effortlessly chic. This is especially true when it comes to outerwear, and the cape is no exception. Shades range from soft greys and beiges to rosy pinks and vivid reds.

On the retail end- Zara, Topshop and H&M (among others) seems to agree, including a selection of coveted capes among their new winter wardrobe collections.

On the designer front, Talitha, Tibi and Temperley have all championed the trend, from the ultra-cosy, to the cool embroidered boho versions. And as pricey as they may seem, the investment potential here is huge.

And if you’re wondering why this is becoming such a rave- the cape is the perfect piece for layering in winter with all that knitwear. For the office a chic black cropped version will add instant cool points to your classic white shirt and navy cropped trouser combo. And for the slightly warmer months, a cape worn over a basic tee or even with jeans and trainers can look dreamy and cool.
Fashion’s recent obsession with all things suede extends into the season’s cape trend made of this popular material. Undoubtedly, Capes are the new jackets. After last year’s boom in blanket ponchos, thanks to Christopher Bailey’s coveted monogrammed Burberry Prorsum piece that sparked a movement among the fashion set, traditional jackets have been given the cold shoulder. Designers have dialed up the drama on the winter wardrobe and their shows during Paris Fashion Week, eschewing jackets in favor for cool capes in varying silhouettes, prints, and textiles.

Designer Alber Elbaz  showcased the Lanvin  show with a textured black shift, adding a higher degree of flair with a feathery topper, a theatrical hooded black cape, complete with black leather opera-length gloves and knee-high boots. At Chloe, designer Clare Waight Keller turned to the ’70s for inspiration with a folksy line-up that she toughened up with military-inspired coats and capes . And at Vionnet,  fluffy cropped capes served as the perfect companion to evening wear with prints that swirled from the hooded piece to the gown.

The winter runways  for outerwear saw designer options that are not so ordinary, graphic designs and eye-catching accents are the way to go. With geometric prints and dazzling adornments, these capes will certainly make fashion spotting heads turn.

Tweed is now a common sight in designer collections and on the catwalks of London, Paris and Milan. It is no longer a fabric for ultra-conservatives, geography teachers and hunting, shooting and fishing types. Tweed has soon emerged as a must have fabric in your winter wardrobe.  It have even long been an essential for fall, with new designs appearing on the runways and making waves each season. An ideal material for chilly temperatures and frigid weather, tweed styles range from chic and casual to refined and elegant, providing endless options to dress up. Whether you’re looking for ways to revitalize the classic tweed pieces already hanging in your wardrobe or you’re new to the timeless trend, these tweed styles offer a modern take on the must-have weave. Put your own style spin to this very versatile fashion essential.

The Tweed outerwear 

Tweed always goes over easy in a classic coat, but for a twist, pair a tweed jacket with boyfriend jeans to keep it looking whimsical with a casual top to keep your overall look modern and playful. Alternately, make tweed the focal point of your outfit by layering over a chambray  patterned shirt and skinny jeans. The monochromatic top and bottoms will make the tweed pop. Talk about making a statement!

The playful Tweed Skirt 

When it comes to skirts, tweed styles offer a wide range of lengths, silhouettes and designs. For a youthful, vivacious and flirty look, opt for the option of mini, ideal for an evening out. Pairing the tweed with a fall-worthy button-up king , such as plaid or a soft flannel will ensure an easy to rock autumnal ensemble. Another popular trend this season is a tweed skirt with carwash pleats. The slits in the fabric create movement, adding interest and dimension to your look. Pair with a silk blouse and heels for an elegant ensemble. When the temperatures turn too chilly for bare legs, add a pair of tights and booties to your skirt for a chic, yet warm, look.

The elegant Tweed Dress

The tweed suit, made popular by the couture fashion brand Chanel, is a more of a go-to ensemble. Though timeless, the two piece route can also feel expected and at times, a tad reserved-don’t you think?. If you love the look of heavy tweed styles on yourself, but want to break free from the jacket and skirt combo, a tweed dress is the way to go to rock your winter.

Style Aria is cheering Arantza Cendejas  -one of the famous faces on instagrams with a huge follower-ship. With her constant style inspiration and fashion photos, Arantza keeps her admirers asking for more. Be it travel or just a day out in the sun, this fashion femme knows how to work it. Instagram has taken connecting and socializing on a different level. The platform is more about delivering an experience without words.

We bring her feature interview, loaded with the fashionista’s style and tips for a great instagram throne she rightly reigns.

You surely come across as a traveler in style . Do you have a favorite city or place, that you would love to travel to?

I do try to travel as much as I can. One of my favorite places in the US that I have been is Colorado. Anything that has to do with mountains and hiking and outdoors is absolutely my favorite! However my DREAM place to visit in this world is Greece. I hope to fulfill that dream one day.

Your instagram selfies are beautiful and inspiring.IS there a makeup routine you follow before the pics? We would love to know some tips.

A lot of my pictures, just have my everyday natural look.Where it is nothing too heavy and I also don’t use “expensive make-up”. The only thing I do use are just drug store products. Some tips I would say do your make up how you feel comfortable. If its wearing no makeup, or wearing bright colors for your everyday look, then go for it! To me the definition of beauty is for a woman to feel comfortable in her skin. If it’s either looks then I say go for it. We are all different and have various looks, we just need to learn how to embrace each look and work it! I am working on developing a YouTube channel with makeup tutorials and fashion tips. Should keep an eye out, I will be launching it in the next few weeks.

 We love that most of your instagram pics are in a natural scene. How you choose your instagram backdrops?

I choose my background scenes based on the shoot that I want to do. For example if it’s a summer shoot I usually want to shoot in a place where there is a lot of “greens”. If it is a fall shoot, I love to shoot with trees and their colorful. If it’s just a casual look then any nature background would look great. I do drive around Houston to find spots.

Which category of Instagrams would you say has the most comments or follower-ship? why do you think that is?

I think that the category of Instagram that would have the most comments or fellowship are the pages that are unique and inspirational. I think that because those are the most powerful types of inspiration. People who are different and unique in their own ways. People who have an inspirational story and are wanting to make a change in this world.

Who helps you take the captivating instagram pics when they aren’t selfies?

My younger sister is someone who has always helped me out through my whole life. She always takes my pictures and even gives me FANTASTIC ideas on fashion. She’s someone who is a great inspiration to me.

Your instagrams spotlights your flawless skin, any secrets you would like to share?

A secret I would like to share about my “spotlight flawless skin” is to ALWAYS see your lighting. Lighting can make a huge difference. Work the angle that does best to your skin.

Your instagram follower-ship is ever increasing. What do you think attracts that kind of inspiration?

I think the type of inspiration I’m generating is that my page is simply who I am and being able to showcase my loves of this life. Whether its my cats, or makeup, or modeling I make sure it’s unique and unlike anything out there.

How much behind-the -scene work goes into your images on instagram?

Actually a lot of work does happen behind scenes on my Instagram pictures. When I do a shoot I take about 500 images and having to find a good one takes FOREVER! and then from there I ask for advice to my friends and family which one looks better and so on.

Any latest fashion trend/ style you are following?

Not at this moment

What photo editing apps would you recommend for instagram pics?

A great app that I do use a lot if called “BeFunky” and another I do love to use is “PhotoCandy.” Two of my all time favorites.
Any exciting projects that you’re looking forward to this year ?

A huge project I am working on is launching my YouTube channel in the next few weeks. To give both fashion advice and makeup tutorials. I hope to launch it by the end of this year.

This season, many designers have opted to use the luxurious material in an unexpected way – exclusively on the sleeves. With these styles, the commitment to fur is minimal, we are seeing the ” Less is more” approach. A touch of it at the sleeves is all it takes to add eye-catching texture and a head turning ensemble.

Fall can often be a tricky season to dress for, with weather being more unpredictable than the frigid temperatures of winter, when all you can do is cover up. Though a coat completely covered in fur may be appropriate for days that dip below freezing, mild weather requires a lighter touch of the beloved trend-this is where the fur sleeves play their fashion roles perfectly.  Seamlessly transition into the crisp fall season with fur sleeves that reflect the vivid colors of changing leaves.

Demure colors and subtle palette creates a timeless piece, especially done for a coat. Whether it’s a classic black, a chic winter white or an elegant taupe, neutral colors pair well with anything, and can take you through multiple seasons. This fall, take your coat to the next level with fur sleeves in a contrasting shade. Though the overall look remains monochromatic, the various shades provide extra dimension to the coat, adding interest and depth. “Stand out” even when the weather says otherwise.

Long and Belted

An instant style turner this look is easy to wear and effortlessly transcends any ensemble to quick chic, the long and belted look complements every pair of fall attires. Simply drape your scarf around your neck, tucking the ends underneath a belt cinched at the waist. Not only will this scarf style flatter your figure, it will also keep your wrap precious from being “Gone with the wind”.

Draped Over Your Shoulders

When temperatures start falling below comfort, an over sized scarf is essential. By draping a scarf over your shoulders, you can stay toasty yet stylish. In order to create this look, place your scarf over both shoulders, ensuring the material is completely unfolded. Taking one of the corners, tuck it behind the opposite shoulder, securing it underneath the scarf. Then, take the remaining corner up and over your other shoulder, fastening it behind your neck. This cozy scarf style is now complete! You are now ready to brave the weather and take on the streets in style.

Tied in a Bow

Turn your scarf into a bow, for this ultra-feminine look. For chunky knit scarves, an over sized bow is best, while silk or chiffon is the ideal material for a smaller, dainty bow. Drape your scarf around your neck, leaving one side longer . Then, make a loop with the longer side, pinching the loop in the middle to create a bow shape. Whether you combine it with a sweater dress or pants, this scarf style adds a touch of romance and stylish charm to any outfit.

As a Head Wrap

Let’s take this inspiration from vintage movies and grandmoms, giving it our spin of flavor and fashion. An easy style to achieve, this look can transition into full glam mode when paired with oversized sunglasses. The head wrap keeps you a warm cover for those below freezing days, when you need the sweet warmth of fashion.

Couture comfort, can it get any better?. Now, let’s be clear- we definitely don’t recommend you cracking out frilly night wear or nighties , or sweatpants that have seen better days, but refined, chic, Art Deco-inspired sets of timeless pjs. Whether the occasion calls for meeting a friend for weekend brunch or stepping out for dinner and a movie, pajama sets make for both a comfortable and trend-right addition to your stylish wardrobe.

The never ending PJ Party

Ranging from solid floral prints to bright hues, pajama sets have succeeded in offering a plethora of designs and styles that relate and cater to every fashion sense and ease .

Surely, Head-to-toe pajama dressing can be really intimating, but cute separates can work really well. For instance a pajama-style top with jeans or a silk trouser with a t-shirt, that’s a more subtle take on wearing your Jim-jams out of your house.

What inspired you to create your own blog, could you give your own words to it?

I always had such a great passion for fashion, especially for style. You know, everyone has their own personal and individual style; preppy, radical, gypsy or pure fashion victims. I love to mix different styles and a create something truly unique and new, at least it’s what I’m trying to do. I’d like to propose the idea that something will always be considered the next season trend, while they still don’t know it! So basically the blog inspiration came from within me and myself, followed by every pretty thing that surrounds me.

What style icon inspires your fashion taste and flair?

Talking about the past I love that incredible genius mind of Diana Vreeland, she invented almost everything about fashion, she was the greatest style icon I’ve ever known ! Then Jane Birkin, with her simple elegance was my favorite between all! But I also love Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Brigitte Bardot!

A must have wardrobe item, that is more like your signature wear?

An item every girl should definitely have in her closet is a pair of elegant wide black trousers, they are perfect for every kind of body shape, and they pair great from morning ( with some sneakers or a t’shirt) to the night, with heels, blazers and top!

Every day,  I receive many messages from my followers, they leave many comments, sometimes positive and sometimes negative;  I actually don’t know which was the best one yet, they were all appreciated, even the criticisms sometimes! But I always feel really pleased and gratified when they ask me advice about style and trends!

How do you keep it up creatively?

Creativity for me, comes from everywhere- you don’t need to seek it, it just comes to you!

You can get inspired by reading, travelling, watching movies, browsing on internet or simply by walking around! This is exactly what I do!

Any post/posts that had an unexpected response? good or bad?

Every time I post something on the blog or on social medias my final purpose is always to inspire people and in turn make them curious, so bad or good the important is to make people talk about it, usually the responses are pretty good, but sometimes I have my share of bad responses. They are mainly focused on my thin physique , or sometimes about my poses in some pictures, I love what I do and do it with my heart-you know, you can’t make everybody like you!

What aspect of fashion excites you the most?

Fashion is exciting itself, there’s no business industry like the fashion one! I truly love the creativity, the passion and the art that you can find in the fashion world, but what excites me the most is the strategy of the different brands, behind a white basic t-shirt, there’s much more: STRATEGY, STRATEGY, STRATEGY!

Who takes majority of the pictures that feature on your blog?

It depends, behind my pictures there are my friends or even my mom, I like to make people I love, part of this project and journey.

What would you favorite fashion piece be at the moment ?

I have a strange thing with PVC, this winter it will be one of the greatest trend for sure! So the piece, I’m totally in love with is a pair of over knee boots, from Dior, which are made of pvc, they are amazing!!
