Casual days are the absolute best! I wore this to a busy day shooting a video in the morning, creating my bracelet in the afternoon, and finally heading to Tagaytay with my friends straight after that! With so many things going on, I couldn’t be bothered to wear something other than a casual and comfy outfit! Flats were a definite must, and since I figured I was travelling to somewhere colder- a sweater too! For some reason, casual outfits like these always make me feel at home- even when I’m not! It must be the laid  view more

Some accessories are born to become icons, like my Louis Vuitton Neverfull Damier Ebene that has been my loyal companion in my trips and adventures all over the world.
“Her traveller destiny” was already written: I saw “her” for the first time in the windows of the 5th avenue Louis Vuitton store in one of my first trips to New York, I admired it and thought about reasons to avoid trying it on. Of course I didnt find any of them: five minutes later I looked at ourselves together in the mirror for the first time, and I understood that some relationships really start with love at first sight.view more

I’ve found a new addiction- jeans! The simplicity and casualness of it is just soooo raw and strangely, so sexy! I guess when you go back to the essentials after some time layering print on print on print or texture on pattern on color, everything just becomes so basic, so fresh and ultimately so bare it feels dangerous! And we all know that danger equates to sexiness! I’m not saying I’m sexy- far from it, but wearing jeans makes me feel so confident, and that’s an important part of any fashion story! To amplify this thought, I went all out and chose basic black with touches of gold to really go for simplicity and make my jeans stand out. Heck, I even threw back my bangs and went for a dangerously exposed forehead! (#GirlsWithBangs can totally relate) I’m not sure if it was my outfit that day or just the hair away from my already squinting eyes that made me realize: I need more simple days like this in my life! Is it time for another Chiffom Prom Dress  style evolution? Have I grown out the teenage obsession for hearts, frills and all things cutesy? Oh, the things that pop in your head when you don’t clutter it with hair!view more

Want A Solid Outlook On Life? Spend 10 Minutes With Greta Gerwig

If you haven't seen Frances Ha, pencil it into your calendar immediately. Greta Gerwig's performance is endearing, and has put her at the top of our list of actresses to watch. She's one of the women cracking the Hollywood glass ceiling, showing that it is indeed possible for a female to run things in a male dominated industry. ELLE UK was lucky enough to spend what we imagine to be a wonderful 10 minutes with the actress, and got to talking about everything from Russell Brand and personal style,Sexy Prom Dresses to her love of photoshop. 

"Airbrushing is awesome!", she said. "Even if you make terrible faces, they’ll figure it out." Or, they could, you know, remove your entire leg. Her love of photoshop stems from her fear of the red carpet (something we personally think she nails), and she freely admits to fangirling over Woody Allen while working on To Rome With Love. 

We love seeing a woman who's strong in her opinions. She admits that she's tired of treating successful women in Hollywood as a phenomenon, and we have to agree with her on that. "The more it’s talked about, the less it becomes remarkable," she said. Too true! If we play it cool, and live in the world of successful women instead of constantly reveling in it, more and more women might find success. And who else but Greta Gerwig's footsteps should we follow? No one's — except for maybe Jennifer Lawrence's. (ELLE UK) view more

CATBIRD ENGAGEMENT & WEDDING RINGS

When it comes to rings, I’ve always been of the ‘less is more’ persuasion.

So when I chanced upon Catbird’s eternity bands, described as ‘the slimmest, sparkliest eternity band in all the land’.

Well, it was love at first sight.view more
