If you are following me on the Instagram (@vanjaam) you already know about this look. Favorite shorts lately, mixed with Zara studded sandals, hat with red stripe and a denim jacket  over all.

When I saw this sweatshirt on Mango.com I instantly fell in love! After this gorgeous but yet simple piece hit the store I bought it and I couldn't wait the day to wear it! Chilly summer day was perfect to satisfy my appetite for fall clothes, so I match it with white shorts and gray bag.

When I got this dress I immediately knew how to wear it! Mixing edgy and feminine is one of my favorite ways to dress up so I decided to pair this gorgeous floral beauty with leather ankle boots and oversized cardigan (which I got thanks to my colleagues for my last day at work :))!

Last two weeks I was on vacation, but guess what? I was still working despite that fact! The new project will be revealed soon and I can't wait to show you! Hope that I will also manage to get a few days off again so I can relax on the beach somewhere!
In the meantime, here is a new look! This shorts was quite challenging because its probably one of the most photographed items during this spring/summer season, and I decided to go with white blazer and gray t-shirt with leopard print.

Along Madison Avenue

This gorgeous lady was in the middle of running some errands when I stopped her on Madison Ave. She looks  as if she just walked off the set of a Ralph Lauren campaign!

Mary

Every time I see Mary she looks nothing short of perfect and she always has the best shoes!!!

Tie- Dye Styled

I have always loved tie-dye t-shirts, but have never seen  one worn as elegantly as the one above. When I complimented this gorgeous woman on her wonderful shirt and accessories she replied, " My grandson made it for me and I pull it out once a year and today is the day. I don't usually let people take my photograph, but since I'm wearing the shirt, go ahead." What a lucky day for me!

Couple days ago, H&M finally opened their first store in Belgrade and one of my first purchases there were this black hat and sweater. I decided to mixed them up with stripped skirt and plaid shirt.

The Advanced Style Ladies Sit Front Row At Karen Walker

It's been an exiting week in New York for the Advanced Style ladies. Ilona just got back from her summer in Provincetown to sit front row at the Karen Walker fashion show. I had the privilege of shooting last season's Karen Walker Eyewear campaign , featuring  the gorgeous women above, so it was great fun to have a reunion at Karen's incredible runway show.

VivaleHat

My dear friend Debra Rapoport creates some of the most magical things out of the most unexpected materials. Here is she in one of her latest Viva paper towel hats. Check out more of her work HERE.

Mal Cross, Magic Man

I always love running into Mal Cross, Magician to The Rich and Famous, at Lincoln Center during fashion week. I was excited to tell him that he appeared on The Daily Beast, as part of an article on The Advanced Style Coloring Book, where kids colored in some of their favorite portraits.

Well, say hi to my new chubby legs! I was building this construction during the whole summer! ;)
Maybe I eventually start with some exercises, but for now I will stick to my mantra "who cares"! Many great things happened while I was gone (campaign for a shopping center, billboards, TV commercial etc), and I will tell you more in one of the upcoming posts.
Let's have a quick talk about this look: favorite denim shorts, with new espadrilles and blue blazer were perfect match with golden details and pink lipstick.

Match Point

My favorite part of this woman's outfit is how she matches her bag to her shoes!

Beauty Unrecognized

When I asked this woman if I could take her photograph, she replied, "Why would you want a photograph of an old lady like me?" This is a response I hear quite often. I'm always surprised when some of the women I photograph don't realize how inspiring and vibrant they truly are. After the shoot, she smiled and I thanked her for making my day.
