Designer of the week: Cecilie Bahnsen

One of my favorite new designers, Cecilie Bahnsen, knows exactly how to do it each time. I fell in love with her creations when I first stumbled upon her signature open-back dress, about three years ago. The thinest, most adorable straps located at the back are there to secure the dress and make it so ethereal, unique and sexy. That really was for me. Sometimes one piece is enough to show you how bad you wanna be on the lookout for a new designer..

Her latest collaboration with Charles & Keith includes the most craveable shoes at the moment:) 

Current mood with an airy boho feel

in collaboration with tosave.com

When I was asked from tosave.com team to choose some items from their online shop, there was a bit of a struggle cause the options were endless. The moment though my eyes stumbled upon this floral maxi dress I knew I've found the dress that would play a huge role during summer days. This dress has two things I love about: vintage boho feel and asymmetrical & airy style, both of which are great for hot, summer days.

Here, I decided to style it a bit whimsically with a pair of high-waisted, one of my favorite vintage shawls and these beach slippers, soon to become my everyday-to-go item:)

New favorite phone case

in collaboration with tosave.com

So I've been searching for a case for my iphone and nothing seemed to match. It would either be too expensive or too much of a design going on for my tastes. Till the team behind tosave.com was kind enough to let me choose and try out one of their phone case styles! Fun!

This iphone plating soft case I ultimately chose has it all: clear color so that the actual phone is visible (hello!) and matching color with the phone's shade:). What else do you need? Oh yeah: a great price. That is one more of the perks of this case:).

JW Anderson for Uniqlo

Current wishlist: Rosegal

When the Rosegal team approached me and asked me to a create an item wishlist coming from their online shop, I knew it wouldn't be an easy job only because there were literally so many things to choose from, all at great prices.

I really love their vintage wear selections especially those of the retro inspired dresses. This one is one of my favorites. Loving this plaid bowknot, too. I would totally fill my closet with a collection of vintage style dresses to add my wardrobe a "coming from another era" vibe:) Definitely my thing.

Also my thing: these items pictured above. Current Rosegal obsessions. I mean look at this cropped top! Or this faux fur hat..

The most perfect digital invites

in collaboration with Anagram Interactive

These last days is all about making plans for our youngest kiddo's 6th birthday, which by the way coincides with Halloween time(!)-that's indeed the perfect combo to a kid's celebration, don't you think? We usually go with online invites, we find it easier, less time consuming and most of all ecological. So, I've been searching for online invitations with that extra "je ne sais quoi" to send to his friends & families. When I was asked to try the Paperless Post digital services I knew what my final choice would be for little P's birthday:)

There is a huge selection of invitations to choose from, covering entertaining themes for every occasion and most importantly you can customize your selections with different colors, fonts, logos or even put your own photo to make it more personal. I like it when you can be a bit more creative and make it your own:) The customization section is such an easy process and you can actually change from the backdrop of the card to the color of the envelope and its liner patterns, even the stamp and postmark itself(!)

The illustrations are the coolest and they cover every style from minimal designs to more fine art themes, depending on your moods :)

You can also find numerous designer collection cards which are fantastic! Ashkahn, Mary Katrantzou, Rifle Paper Co, Kate Spade, Marimekko and The Indigo Bunting are some of my very favorites.

Little P. is most probably going to go with one of the cutest Halloween theme related cards for his birthday invites, one with which we dearly fell in love, from one of our favorites: Rifle Paper Co.

Add your favorite cards to your Paperless Post box and further experiment with coloring and backdrops so as to give the card a bit of a boost and match it to your personal style and needs :) This is one of my attempts to make one of our favorites pop..

I mean..how much cuteness can fit in a card?
