To travel is to take a  journey into yourself.

I think a great part of my life I have spent on traveling which always is not enough.  

At aged 20  I left Poland and started my great adventure in England. It was my first country abroad and first time in aircraft. Being there by myself and trying to adapt and find my own ways was a great lesson of my life. It was difficult, everything was so different!!! I think my determination and optimism and hard work helped me to succeed.

 I made my dreams come true, master English, visit London and other beautiful places got professional job.  I had a first  flight deck jump seat on Boeing 757 - it is flying in a cockpit with pilots what was always my dream. It was  unforgettable experience. I always dreamt  of seeing the beautiful views of clouds and sun that only pilots can see. 

But all this would be nothing without my friends who have been there for me when I smiled when I cried when I failed and when I succeeded. Especially my friend Joanna and Chris.

England became my second home gave me a new start new friends new life. It was almost 4 years I lived on this Ever Green Island!!!

 I would not do it  without God's help, he was with me on this journey all the time and he still is;-)!!! 

 Never to late for studying.

I went back to Poland to make another of my dreams UNI. I always found a great passion in modern languages, English and Spanish were my favourite. I waited 6 year of my life to get a chance to study at UAM in Poznan a city where I  always wanted to be. There was always something that stood on the way. First not enough money, no time but there always were motivation.

 My High school friends finished their MA, when I started at age 25 first year of UNI. So here I was  a student.

From Poland to Spain.

I knew that I would not learn better Spanish than in Spain. I applied for scholarship and went to Spain for a year. I packed up and went to Málaga to start new adventure! I traveled a lot, got to know the country, folklore and amazing amigos!!!

Spain gave me my beloved flamenco which for me is art of arts!!! I love it to bits!!! I learned how to dance Sevillana in School of  Carmen Macarrea in Ciudad Reall where I was doing my UNI.

 I devoted to flamenco all my time in Spain and wrote my BA  about it "Flamenco an -international dance." I have attended many great flamenco shows in the main cities of Spain.  I hope the flamenco adventure will never ends!!!  

Back to England.

Dear England I came back for some more of adventure and ... I found Jesus my God my Savior Who shows me the true meaning of LOVE. 

AUTUMN LEAVES

  

Autumn  is a season full of  colours in some way very magical. You just  have  to look

 around and see the wonders of nature. This time my inspiration were  colourful  leaves. 

I  played  with all  sorts of colours: greens, reads, mustardy yellows to create  colourful 

images. I think that on a  grey and rainny days people wearing colourfully clothes would

 made  streets  to  brighten  up. I used  woolen ponchos in this stylisation which I like very 

much for autumn.

LONDON VODAFONE FASHION WEEKEND 18-21 SEPTEMBER 2014

London Fashion Weekend was for me an amazing experience. It was my first time but not the last time for sure!!! It was a perfect opportunity to immerse myself in the world of fashion get new inspiration and to see new trends for autumn and winter 2014. The show took place in Somerset House where the biggest pop-up boutique was placed. You could buy over 250 of the world's most established designer brands as well as the emerging labels at irresistible price.

The queue for the catwalk show was as long as from London to Cracow (Kraków) but it was worth to wait. It is nothing worst that be seated in the last row at the catwalk show. So......... you have to get yourself in the first row? As English people say: "When there is a will there is a way" I wanted to take some good shots but my place was almost in the last row. I went to the lady who was in charge of locating people and I just said to her few words;-) and here I was sitting in a first row in the middle. So happy!!!

The sow presented four styles: One and Only, Candy Crush, Jungle Fever and Fairy Tale Ending.

One and Only was encouraging women to pick up one colour and to stick with it! From head-to-toe wear the same colour but with the different shades and paly with proportion and texture.

Designers( Roland Mouret and Philip Lim)

Candy Crush presented pastel shades like lilacs, powder pink and baby blues leading the way for autumn and winter. It was a grown up approach - look  to structured shilhouettes,sharp tailoring andelegant sportswear by Simone Rocha, Acne Studios and Helmut Lang.

                                   

               

 

         

Jungle Fiver collection was a tropical storm on the catwalk this season thanks to abundance of lush hues,exotic motifs and tribal prints! Brave the wilderness with earthly tones and animal prints by Isabel Marant, Antonio Berardi, Alexander Wang and Ostwald Helgason.

Fairy Tale Ending created by designers looking to their favourite fairy tales for inspiration. An enchanting spell was cast over the collections this season with floaty gowns, delicate details by Oscar de la Renta, Badgley Mischka and Roberto Cavalli.

MUSTURDY AUTUMN

Who does not like a countryside walk? I do! You can charge your batteries,

 be surrounded  by  nature  and  if  you are lucky you can even see some wild

 animals  or  birds. Even  now I   enjoy to pick up chestnuts, acorns and 

colourful leaves. I used them up to decorated the shop window to give it

 more  autumny  look.  I had  used   in  my  stylisations  motives of tartan. 

There  is such a great variety of them.  Evry Scotish  family  has a special 

tartan  that  belongs  only  to them. In  this season you can see me wearing

 my favorite tartan skirt with jacket.

WHITE FOR AUTUMN

Hi there why not autumn for autumn I just want to inspire you to wear this neutral colour

 in the season of colours. All shades of white. I combined creamy colour long pressed 

chiffon dress  with creamy jacket and bit of black blouse for a contrast. Accessories:

 just a colourful bag that is so unique and coral scarf and shoes that keep 

the colour cordination.

RED BLUE STREET PLAY

 

 

AUTUMN COLLECTION

Summer has gone away and I think is time to look in our wardrobe for  jackets 

and some  warm  jumpers  and  cardigans. I  have  few ideas that I would like to share 

with you.

I like this light brown color of trousers and suede ankle boots that match together quite

 nicely. White top  and brown cardigan added to  it looks stylish.  Brown coral 

necklace,  belt and little shoulder bag in light brown go well together.

Simple long  grey cardigan that  can be  worn  with leggings  as a good match, here 

I combined it with  woollen black skirt.  As accessories I used belt to give a shape in 

waist and  two necklaces. I kept the color coordination between belt and boots, all in 

sandy color.

I really like leather  trousers  and  I  wear them   quite often  in autumn. My favourite 

 colours  are:  black, brown,  mustard  coloured  and  burgundy. This stylization  is  a  

combination  of   black and   gold.  Black  leather  trousers  combine with black jacket 

and golden  top with  very  nice  fabric. I  think  a golden  scarf  and belt makes it more 

attractive.  With   added  boots  of  dusted  gold colour  and black bag this  outfit looks

 elegant but  at  the  same  time  casual.

SUMMER COLORS

Playing with colours is fun and summer time definitely encourages us to wear bright and cheerful clothes.

Many women enjoy switching to light, flowing dresses or skirts in the summer instead of hot, restrictive pants. Comfortable summer clothes should be made of a breathable, stretchy fabric. Look for natural fabrics instead of synthetic, and judge if the clothing feels airy and breathable enough while trying it on.

 Canion

Turquoise is one  of  my  favourite  colours and this light turquoise dress has very nice

 design. From both  sides  open cuts  on the ribs make it fashionable and perfect for the 

hot  summer. Once  again  combination  with  scarf  of  the  same colour and jewellery 

necklace.

 Frigiliana

When I saw this  patterned  dress it remind me of Africa and the  ethnical  symbols. Its 

combination of  all sorts of  vivid  colours and  a wooden and metal chain that goes up

 to the neck is unusual. I combined it with scarf and white hat and pink round earnings. 

The place  where the  photo was taken is worth recommending. It was a beautiful small 

Spanish village  Frigiliana  situated in south Andalusia. All the houses totally with the 

blue window's frames and colourful flours everywhere.

Brighton

You  will never  know if you will  feel good in wearing  something until you try it  out. 

This  summer I went for a long skirts and I must say that  I have never  been convinced 

that  they were for me. I found some that caught my eye. I consider orange  colour as a 

trendy,  cheerful, energetic,  it  reminds  me of  vivid  sunsets,  fruit and flowers of the

summer.  Orange  was a “groovy color”  back in the 70s  and then it faded away. There

 are many shades of orange and I think everybody can find one that will be ideal. Every  

 summer  I  do  wear something  that  is orang colour but this season  persimmon (a red-

orange)  appealed  to me. I am  really  enjoy to wear  long flowing persimmon skirt with 

orange patterned top

SHADES OF ORANGE COLORS

PROPOSITIONS FOR SPRING

Spring  is  a  time  for new changes  in  our  life and  wardrobe. Perfect

time  for doing   shopping   and  adding  a  new  refreshing clothes and

 accessories to the one we already have and creating  new image. This 

spring    I would    like    to  share   with you  with  my new inspiration.

 A  bit  of  elegant   combination   that   could  be  ware   for  a  different   

 occasions as  well as casual and comfortable combinations. I decided 

to  experiment   with   different   colors   and   use  contrasts and  color 

coordination.

.....................................................................................................................

                            

Petit dress

 

 

Petit   dress   of  coral  color  (label  AX  Paris),    Jacket   creamy  white  

 (Next),  cardigan   crochet    made   creamy   tights,  coral  earrings  and  

bracelet  and  ring  pearls,  creamy-gold  high  heels. 

                                       

 Flamenco look

  

 

 The inspiration for this stylization was a flamenco look. The effect gave me 

the   white   blouse   with   effective   laces crochet ,  red trousers  ( H&M) and 

  black high heels. I used red scarf and large round earrings  as accessories.

                                   

 Ready rad blue

Sometimes  it is good to do an  experiment matching vivid colors   and use

 a contrast. This time I went for a casual outfit. Vivid baby blue blouse 3/4  

(F&F)  and vivid red trousers (H&M). A little colorful bag with a bit of rad 

elements and red scarf  an rad earrings  will give a nice effect.

Hellow Yellow

I combined   few motives in this stylisation  that   interact nicely. A yellow

 jacket (New look) which is given a nice  springish effect,black leather skirt 

( Warehouse )  and  top  with  leopard motives  (Gaudima), black  ballerina 

shoes. I  used  brancelet with black and withe  African motives and Chanel

 sun - glasses   

               

                          

Tourquoise Breeze

 I  think  this is my favorite  spring   stylisation for a colder

days   where you still  have to  wear a  jacket.  Turquoise

 colour definitely   took  over  and  is  my    favorite  in  this

  season. I  wear  leather  jacket  (New look)  that maches

  with   the  cowboy boots. Scarf, trousers and earring all

 turquoise to keep  the  color  coordination  and colourful 

 blouse  which  gives a springish look.

                                 

In this one I have used similar base to the previous one

 but  used   cardigan  and  white  top with  a  brown  belt 

that  matches  the   shoes  and  the  turqouise  scarf  hat

 keeps the colour coordination.

Elllegant

This is elegant proposition for different occasions. I decided 

to use   ontrast  of blue striped shirt and   red  colour trouser 

(H&M)   and add the  jacket  (Calliope Italy) of creamy withe 

colour  with  ribbon  and  creamy  colour  shoes.  Accessories 

clutch bag in creamy colour and pearls earrings and bracelet.

Oh Grey

  This   is  my  last  stylization.  I went  for black  formal look.

I  would   wear it  to work  or business  meeting. I went for

 grey silver striped jacked (Mango) with grey belt and bag 

that match together. I  wanted to achive a classic look and 

color coordination.
