There's nothing better than having a cup of coffee in one of your favorite places...

Winter temperatures bring a change in both our mood and closet. What’s interesting, these two seemingly unrelated things have a significant impact on each other. Somehow we avoid cheerful or expressive colors almost with the same reluctance as standing in the cold. Our Polish tendency to choose subdued colors is even deeper during this period and makes the streets grayer. However, without going to the extremes, we can revive our look by choosing accessories or one particular item in a bright color. I chose a canary coat. Simple as that. It definitely can bring you closer to spring.

I decided to start a mini-cycle dedicated to some of my ideas. A DAY LOOK is a collection of my outfits inspired not by films…but this time by streets of European metropolises.

No, probably there is no better Christmas movie than "Love Actually". This multi-threaded story has been incessantly wining viewer's hearts all over the world for almost two decades now. However, there are some films though forgotten, can boldly compete with this British production Here is a subjective list of the five best Christmas retro films.

There is no Eiffel Tower, but there are palms, there is no La Défense, but there are Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias – although Paris and Valencia seem to be extremely different cities, I have found many common features in them.

The power of individual style is reflected in our personality more often than we even think. Not without reason, the old saying, “Fine feathers make fine birds”, still works. Regardless of our opinion on that subject, the clothes are an integral part of the personality in the same way as they...

Living in a new place always entails many captivating occurrences; starting off deliberately throwing yourself into the experience of getting lost in some narrow streets, discovering your favorite places or simply ending up in places where you never wanted to. I absolutely love the second aspect, meaning, finding your favourite spots, especially when it happens by chance. I still remember my favorite café in Milan, which reminded me of Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's", it was not popular nor beautiful, most of the signiori came to talk about sports, the students were coming for the brioches and espresso quickly sipped at the bar counter, but I loved this place and its cappuccino. For me, that bar has some elusive quality. That is the beauty of discovering the favorite spots, you can't always tell exactly why you love the particular place, you just keep coming back and enjoying it every single time.

One of the most beautiful places in Seville is undoubtedly the Spain Square and its Maria Luisa Garden.

There is a place in the world where the clatter of heels is not accidental, the pattern of polka dot is proudly worn, and the flowers in the hair are not signs of kitsch nor are considered as tastelessness.

What's the perception of Italian fashion?

Well, here it is. It arrived a while ago, but only now it boldly hits the streets. Every Milanese girl wears it. It can be seen in eco-leather version or in very shiny, metallic hues.

A walk through the streets of Cracow is always worth venture even if it is a constant heel-pavement gameplay.

Regardless of the mood, jeans are never a bad idea. I only have a few pairs but from time to time I decide to put them on (they usually lose to dresses).

Love was just like communism. It was a great idea but never quite worked out." those words can be heard during the movie's narrative. The director invokes this analogy, suggesting that both the political system and love are nothing more but Utopian dream. He closes that dream in the eponymous "longest week", where Monday or Thursday are not just the days of the week but the stages of one's relationship. Although lazy jazz or New York can bring an association with Woody Allen's productions, the creator is more gracious for his characters. It is a pretty pleasant story of a love triangle, involving two somewhat neurotic New York elite representatives and a connoisseur of Victorian literature.

Believe it or not, polish fashion is becoming our national export commodity, it really does exist and it is in a good shape. Fashion Inside proves that right, year after year, leveling up, inviting more and more interesting designers.

March is a little nicer November's cousin; it's already a little warmer, the days slowly lengthen and fur hats and gloves safely end up on the bottom of the closet.

It is said that there wasn't a better year in the history of cinema than 1939. The work of such directors as George Cukor, Billy Wilder, and William Wyler continues to highly occupy rankings of the best, timeless movies. These lists complete Victor Fleming, along with the adaptation of the novel "The Wizard of Oz ", a wonderful creation of Technicolor, the embodiment of children's fantasies.

La Scala, one of the most famous opera houses of the world, is known not only to avid music lovers but also to any person choosing the capital of Lombardy for visiting.

I'm strictly (a) tourist. But I couldn't care less. When they parlez-vous me. Then I gotta confess. That's for me: Bonjour, Paris! France. The third most-visited country in the world with the capital in  Paris - extremely popular, visited by millions of tourists every year. City of love, a city of burlesque, cabaret and film. The place which attracts foreign filmmakers. Hollywood takes it as guarantor of success (no wonder, European cities have always been attractive film sets). But there is no other place like Paris. It is not hard to create a list of box office blockbusters filmed on the river Seine. Certainly, on this list would be few titles with Audrey Hepburn.

If you want to enjoy the timeless collections of Prada, admire beautiful dresses and suits it is better for you to stand in front of one of the boutiques at Vittorio Emanuele Gallery.. because here you will not find them.

Let's get real. Fall. It is not always sunny and gold. More often along with colorful leaves, it brings the promise of early winter and icy November evenings. This is the time of a year when you skip on your friends with some lame excuses and get cozy under the warm blanket. What to see? For Christmas films, it is still too early, and the ones set in summer would only cause unnecessary annoyance. There are a few titles that effectively can fight the autumn blues, one of them is "Far from Heaven".

One of my favorite places in Milan is Bar Magenta - in the city center, but slightly off the beaten track, which is not visited by a swarm of tourists, yet it is always live, especially during the famous aperitivo and happy hours

During MadMood Milan Fashion Week there was also a presentation of the collection of Caresta bags, the Romanian brand specialized in leather goods and accessories.

When the sound of the Milan Fashion Week slowly fades away, and the eyes of all fashion enthusiasts were aimed at Paris, it's time for my relation from this event.

Running and kissing in the rain, contemplating by the window, love at first sight, in short, all those clichés…. Have you ever wonder where did it come from? Probably you roll your eyes while seeing all of it, repetitively, all over again, thinking “Isn’t there any better idea?” Well, there is not. At least I guess. In order to better understand the mechanisms working in this film, remember that what to us is obvious, once was incredibly new and even scandalous due to social standards and morals. I would like to present an absolute classic, romantic masterpiece, the reason of sobbing in the dark corners of the cinema. No, it’s not Titanic but Waterloo Bridge, an American production from 1940.

It's been a while time since I said my first Ciao! in Milan. Although summer has not said its last word yet, fall is approaching inexorably.

Another place on my map, Via della Spiga, is a prettier sister of a very famous and luxurious Via Montenapoleone (the main street leading from Duomo, where one can find numerous boutiques such as Channel, Dior or Valentino). Why prettier?

Milan is considered to be one of the key fashion capitals of the world, and I couldn’t agree more but why is that exactly? Is it the fact that the Italians are famous for its unique sense of style, and every second Italian woman that I pass by on the street has a luxury brand bag? Yes, but not only. Milan is one of the richest Italian cities, where life is, unfortunately, not the cheapest, and I witness it every day, wondering its streets, sometimes in a hurry, sometimes deliberately getting lost in its corners. Everywhere I go, I see countless boutiques with clothes, haberdashery, and accessories. Clothes shops are definitely easier to find than grocery stores, which can be sometimes quite funny because it’s easier to buy a new dress here than, for example …a pack of pasta. The shops are everywhere, even on the less popular streets or neighbourhoods. Nevertheless, Milan has its own charm: beloved by great designers is one of the top three alongside with Paris and New York cities, where twice a year there is a veritable fashion craze known as “Fashion Week”.

The idea, to create as popular venture as the blog is, was born at least 2 years ago, however, I didn't have enough time and courage, and the final kick in the ass came along with my moving to Milan, Italy.
