Since I was a little girl I was told that Slovak women are prettiest once on the whole world. Do I believe it?! Sure! I have to believe in my girls, don´t I?!
But with all honesty and on a more serious note, there really are a lot of stunning and talented ladies in Slovakia that I am proud of. Thank god some of them decided to become bloggers so we can see how amazing day are.
And this is my pick of some of the best...
Yeah I do live in England and I do love a lot of world known bloggers but I still am a chic with Czech and Slovak roots which means that I will always be super supportive of my fellow bloggers from my homelands. That is why I thought I´ll put them all together into one post and share their amazing master pieces with you. What do you think about that ha?!
As it is beginning of February it is only fair that I did January favorites on my YT channel, right?! And in case you have seen any of my previous videos you know very well that I speak about one thing just waaaay too much, so I though I´ll do a part of my favs in a video and the rest here. Sounds more then good and fair, doesn´t it?!
Last night I had a chance to go for a Aloft Hotel Launch event with Frances and we had the best time. It was a night full of music, free drinks, stylish people and fun. Oh and photo booth sessions.
This party was kind of a last minute event in my schedule since Frances texted me like four hours before the party started and we had no idea if we should go or not. But then I though "Hm, music! I love music! I should try it.". And so we went and we were really glad we did. No really! We were SUPER glad we did!
First of all, as we got in my mind was blown away by the combination of old architecture and modern touches. Plus all those party lights made the building look absolutely amazing.
In a short-cut, Celebration of Style is a three day festival of style taking place in venues across Liverpool bringing together some of the style influences from the fashion, art and photography world, including Matthew Williamson himself.
I have been lucky enough to take part at this style event on Thursday and Friday (13th and 14th of November) and I had loads of fun. I went (as always) with my fashion partner in crime Frances. We started with a launch party on Thursday night that was taking place at one of my favourite art stores in Liverpool Nook and Cranny on Bold street. Here we had a chance to see some of the work from new art and fashion talents as Wicker Wings, Sarah Rafferty and a few more. The atmosphere was great as there were loads of other bloggers, journalists and other arty or fashion-y people. It was all a great change after my lonely evenings at home and wearing a fancy clothes instead of PJs was a great feeling as well.
And then on Friday we went for an Influence of Style expo where you had a chance to take part at seminar talks and then browse through exhibition of some great brands and stores as Nook and Cranny, The Leather Satchel co, Illamasqua, MATALAN, The Body Shop and many many more. It was great chance to see a few of the best pieces from brands, stores and we also had a chance to get our hair or make-up done by professionals who even gave you a few tips on what and how to do.
I tried my FIRST cake pop, we had our portraits done by lovely Rheannon Ormond from Nook and Cranny, we chatted with some lovely people from MATALA about their Alphabet Scarves for Alder Hey Charity support and took a scarfie selfie. After that we used a opportunity to get our make-up done by Benefit makeup artists. I personally talked with my "make-up lady" about every single product she used on me and she had a few great recommends for me (make-up and carrier wise) which I am super grateful for. Oh and the best part was probably when I stood a few meters from Matthew Williamson. Even seeing such big person from fashion industry in person was surreal and then seeing how down to earth he is.... oh wow.
Over all I had a great time meeting new bloggers and people from the industry I adore the most (art and fashion). We did have some troubles getting to the Fridays exhibition and finding it, but I guess it was our own lack of luck.
As last I´d like to thank Frances and the whole COStyle team for making these two days of my life so nice and for giving me a goody bag :) .
Until next time keep safe and live your life to the fullest loves!

I got these sweets from one of my friends and I have to say that I became a little obsessed. So if you are planning to try them make sure you don´t eat a hole box in a day! It is pretty hard to say no :/ But they are soo good :)
I have mentioned those black aviators last month, but I still wear them like....A LOT... and in case I give them a break I have my new babies on.
I like trying different drinks, new ice teas or waters with unusual tastes. SO I tried this firefly natural drink with Kiwi,Lime and Mint. Oh my! SO refreshing, not sweet but also not too Lime-ish so it wasn´t sour. YUM !
I have a thing for huge statement necklaces and I am trying to make a nice collection of them. This time I bought one from Sheinside and EVERYONE loves it. Not only me! I get so many compliments on it . It is almost crazy. And yeah I think I wore it like almost every day since I got it shipped.
MUSIC
I am addicted to "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX...energetic and fun
Sia is great musician and her Chandelier is a super bomb
Zella Day is a NEW artist in my playlist and I already felt in love with two of her songs and it is No sleep to Dream and East of Eden
And then George Ezra... thaat voice... I decided to choose only one song of this genius and it is Budapest
I feel like sharing my bloggers/youtuber of the month as well.... sounds good doesn´t it?
Yes! Tartan. A HUGE trend all around the world. This pattern has become a obsession of every fashionista and I don´t think it would change any time soon. And obviously I am a real fan of tartan as well. Thats the reasson why I decided to make this post and tell you a little more about tartan and show you who wears it. If you are interested in to how I´d style this pattern then check out my last OOTD post.
Firstly, lets learn something about this wonderfull pattern. This is what Wikipedia told me (shortly) : is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials. Tartan is particularly associated with Scotland. Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. Tartan is often called plaid in North America, but in Scotland, a plaid is a tartancloth slung over the shoulder as a kilt accessory, or a plain ordinary blanket such as one would have on a bed. In the Victorian and Edwardian eras, tartan-clad garments featured in fashion catalogues. By then, tartan had shifted from being mainly a component of men's clothing to become an important part of women's fashion. In consequence of its association with the British aristocracy and military, tartan developed an air of dignity and exclusivity. Because of this, tartan has made reappearances in the world of fashion several times. For instance, tartan made a resurgence in its use in punk fashion. In the late 1970s punk music was a way for youth in the British Isles to voice their discontent with the ruling class. The unorthodox use of tartan, which had long been associated with authority and gentility, was then seen as the expression of discontent against modern society. In this way tartan, worn unconventionally, became an anti-establishment symbol Really educational right?! SO now that we know what it is lets look at who wears tartan. I found hundreds of youtubers and bloggers wearing and buying all kind of clothes with this pattern, as well as acessories like scarves or gloves and also celebrities finds it cool.
If you are looking for a good ways of wearing tartan and for like a little inspiration deffinitelly check out these two bloggers: HelloItsValentine and KirstyWears . I feel like Kirsty wears something with tartan every single day. Seriously. So cool :)
And then WHERE to buy the best tartan clothes.... I found more cool stores for you that you will deffinitelly be able to find your fav piece.
For example if you are looking or thinking of just a little and more simple piece (for start) check out H&M scarves. They have two colors of tartan. Classic red and also a white-beige combination.
If you are more into dresses - PRIMARK. Deffinitelly. Primark has the cutest tartan dresses I have ever seen :D You can find ones more rocky and edgy but also once with PeterPan collar.
For shirt and blouses check out JCREW and NASTYGEL. They have loads of sick stuff.
If you are braver go and try leggings with this pattern. I think you can find some in NEWLOOK.
And then there is ASOS where you can find EVERYTHING with tartan pattern.
These are more of cheap stores since I dont think you want to spend hundreds on something that after all might not suit you.
Well thats all for today.
I hope you have learned something and that you will give this trend a go. Also, I hope you enjoyed and until friday keep safe.
XoXo
