A Gentleman

I am continually inspired by the people I meet and photograph. I hope to be as dapper and elegant as this man someday.

Look of the day ...

After I made a new board on the Pinterest, "Match me", I decided to make my own version of it on the blog too.:) It will be something that I already wore or that I planned for the upcoming days. It can be inspiration for you or reminder for me for the regular outfit posts.
What do you think about this one? Would you add something or not? Would you wear it? :)

A Joyful Spirit

I often get asked what I look for when I am photographing people on the street. More than personal style, I look for people who emanate strength, vitality, and joyful spirit.

20 Of The Most Stylish Senior Couples Ever

 

The other day I was looking through old photographs of my Nana and Papa, Hal and Helen Cohen. Every time we would go out together, people would stop to compliment them and tell them how lovely they looked. My Nana and Papa will always be a huge inspiration to me. Here are twenty other incredibly stylish senior couples that I have snapped over the years:

Got to play it right ...

Some of the Sundays look just like this: comfy shoes or in my case boots, bag on the shoulder, great company, tasty food and lots of laugh!
During the last weekend Jelena and I were with lovely and super talented girl Slava Micic (you gotta check her blog and instagram @slavamicic, you will love it too). We were showing her one part of Belgrade, new places, cafes and some old streets. While we were talking, Slava caught these moments and I wanted to share some of them with you (you can find more Here).  And they are damn good! I'm totally in love!
Someone said "give girl a camera or two and she will be happy" or this quote doesn't exist at all, but it's true!  ;)

An Advanced Style Summer Soiree

 (For Email Subscribers Click HERE to see the video by Derek Mega)

 Here in New York, the summer is off to a great, (and very hot) start. Last week, my dear friends Alice Carey and Geoffrey Knox invited some of the Advanced Style ladies and me over for a wonderful party in their Greenwich Village apartment. I am honored to know such wonderful people. I hope you enjoy the video of our festivities above.

What's In My Bag ...

In my previous non-blogger-chaotic-but-I-still-love-it life my bag would look like this. Perfectly organized, with so many things inside. Nowadays, I can barely do something beside the work, so my bags are in pretty mess.
And what I'm carrying lately, you can see on the photos. Tissues, wallet, documents, keys etc. are not photogenic so you will excuse them. :)
Shall we start:
1. the first and the most important thing is definitely the phone. Life without capturing every precious moment isn't interesting at all!
2. Hand fix - when my hands start crying because of the fact that I don't even spent one hand cream package for a whole year, I give them an instant scrub and moisture with this super set.
3. Red lipstic - if I were a girly girl, you would see me with sophisticated lips more often, but I love the fact that this matte color is in my bag.
4. Morellato - bracelet is definitely one of my favorite jewelry pieces lately, and I'm not wearing it in my bag, it's just on the photo to fulfill the place, usually I wear it on my hands. ;)
5. Raen sunglasses - to sleep while nobody can notice you.
6. Bourjois - loose powder to prevent the shiny face and last but not least
7. Duracell USB charger - which I got thanks to Duracell.  It comes as a super great help when you see that awful sign "battery low". For those who are constantly on the go it offers a convenient and affordable solution to charge your device on the go. And my favorite place to do that is in my bag, while I'm doing so many things during the day! It's compatible with smartphones and devices that have a micro or mini USB port and it can charge my smart camera too. Perfect for all the girls and boys who are madly in love with their gadgets and can't stand empty batteries. :) 
Soon I will show you updated post with my favorite make up and skin care products, Sunday in Belgrade (with lovely bloggers guest) and new outfit post! :)
 Stay tuned!
