Couple weeks ago Marina and I were invited by Amika: Serbia to test two products that we like and after that to keep the one that we like more. During this period, i didn`t have a lot of time for that because of my cold, but last couple days i give my best to tested it in a right way. I was ironing&curling my hair all day long! ;) And at the end, my choice is Amika: 25mm tourmaline curler, because i needed this size so i can have a complete collection of stylers! ;)
Both products are super great, and it was only a matter of my personal style and what i wanna do often with the hair.
The testimonial of Amika styler you can read on Marina`s blog, so i will talk about the curler.
It is a clip free tourmaline barrel that easily creates silky and smooth curls. Depending on what style you wanna achieve, tight curls or loos beachy waves (as i did) you will use thick or thin clean sections of your hair and gently wrap around. Drop it down after a couple of seconds, give it a little shake and that`s pretty much it! Tourmaline is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat, it provides gentler and faster styling without damaging your hair. It comes with a glove (you want burn your fingers anymore ;)) in different sizes, colors and patterns so you can pick your favorite.
Lot`s of you have been asking me about hair tutorial, and here it is finally. Short video for those who are not sure how to do it. Hope you will like it!
For foreign readers you can find information Here.
For Serbian readers, Here is the link with all information for you. You can also get a 20% discount for Amika products Here , it`s really a worth of your money!

p.s. huge thanks to Marina for recording this video, our blogger girls which were with us that night, and also a huge thanks to Milena for giving us her atelier for filming it! I will post photos from that night soon, so you can see what we were doing beside styling our hairs! ;)

p.p.s. sorry if my hair looks a little bit greasy, it`s because of the wind and i didn`t have any cap that day!Give me your thoughts!

Ruth Celebrates Her 101st Birthday

Ruth with her new friend Henry

One of our favorite centenarians, Ruth, just celebrated her 101st birthday. This past weekend I stopped by her apartment to wish her a very happy birthday and gave her a copy of Pilates Style magazine featuring photos of her stretching and lifting weights. Ruth believes that as long as you can move, you can do some form of exercise. She is a great inspiration to us all!

Yea she's a triflin' friend indeed ...

During the weekend, sun was still shinning even it`s the end of October, so i wanted to use this opportunity and wear something that reminds of summer. There is no better way to do that than wearing a stripped shirt with red but this time with black pashmina scarf and simple heels.
Tell me, do you like it? :)

Beatrix Ost in Harper's Bazaar

A Book Signing at LIM College

Debra Rapoport, Jane Folds, Ilona Royce Smithkin, and Joyce Carpati

The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas and Debra Rapoport are rarely seen without hats.

It's always so wonderful to have an excuse to party with the Advanced Style Ladies. This weekend LIM College invited me to speak on a panel about fashion blogging. After the panel we celebrated with a wonderful book signing party hosted by LIM. I usually have my big camera on me, but I decided to capture the evening's style and conversation through my Instagram account.( For more photos on Instagram check out  my account @advancedstyle).

This Friday at 2pm I will be doing an informal signing of the Advanced Style Book at Strand Books near Union Square. Some of the ladies will be there too! Let me know if you can make it!!!

First of all, i need to apologize for not giving you any update the last ten days. I caught a cold, and i was in my bed for most of the time. My migraines were in visit too and turning on my laptop was the worst nightmare. Hope you will understand! Today, i will try to answer on every email that you sent and comments that you left in the previous post. Also, i wanna thank you for giving me such a nice compliments about the look and make up. Glad that you like it! During this week, magazine will be out and i will show you the final results!
Regarding my outfit, i wanted to create something that can be worn in many occasions: at work, cocktail party, reception or even for a night out! Total black look with bicolor high heels. Ring, necklace and red lipstick were the only accessories. Jacket with texture and chains was the cherry on top in this case.
Now, tell me, what do you think?

Have a nice Monday!
