I'm a lover of all things that make me feel me or inspire me to be happier and better. I love people watching and getting inspired by them. Every day is an opportunity to be better that yesterday. Every day has a new road to walk (preferably in the best shoes) dressed in a smile with a touch of a lipstick. I am a woman since birth, a mother since my son was born, a wife since I married my friend. I am busy doing a Professional Styling course and have already started that journey by image consulting with some fascinating ladies. This blog is to share this and more. To help me be better and inspire women to live their sparkle every single day.

femme luxe knitwear

Hi there :))

Feels like ages since I posted last … . So much has changed.

We’ve had our rainbow… our beautiful boy Leonardo (if you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed).

Life is even better now, night are shorter and more eventful again but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am beyond blessed to have my boys with me every day.

Today I want to share with you few lovely pieces I got from Femme Luxe ( https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/knitwear )from their knitwear collection.

My choices were based on pieces being suitable for breastfeeding. Delivery time with Femme Luxe is within few days and the fact that I received them on my last few days of pregnancy made it pretty special.  I got to wear the red knot sweater with Leo still in the bump. I am also sharing how I wear it now that my body is going through new changes.

I love the pieces and I’ve put together few outfits to show you how I will wear them (I will also share more in upcoming weeks on my Instagram).

Hope you can share which one is your favourite. Have you ever ordered from Femme Luxe? What’s your thoughts?

Under each of the outfits I’m sharing a direct link to the Femme Luxe piece on their website.

This sweater is my personal favourite. I was worried about the little pearls hurting Leo but they seem ok. Not wearing it too often anyway. It is on sale at the moment. Check out the link below.

Next piece is actually a dress and comes with a belt but it would not work as a dress for my body at all. I ordered it with an intention of wearing it as a sweater. I love the colour and the light texture. It will compliment a lot of my outfits and add a little sparkle (awesome as I am wearing very little jewellery at the moment ;)). I am sharing with you two outfits that I put together for now.  One very casual and second a little more dressy. Depending on shoes and accessories worn we could dress it up or dress it down easily too.

The third piece is another knot sweater, basically the same as the first one I shared but in neutral ( it’s grey, although it seems more cream in real life) and without the little pearls. It is super versatile. I love adding a knot sweater over a tank top. It creates a great nursing combo.

Now, these two are the same shape too, in two different colours.  I must say I have been loving super mega oversize sweaters and jumpers lately but decided to give these two a go too. I ordered size M/L  so they are pretty small but work really well over something longer. I  will be adding them over long shirts or, like here, long tank top (boob access being a priority at the moment ;).

Link >>> https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/hoodies-sweatshirts/products/black-knitted-off-shoulder-jumper-maria

 

 

The second one is in a lovely  grey and it seems to work with a lot of my blouses actually. Loving this combo at the moment. What do you think? How would you wear it?

Is any of you needed more info on the pieces, let me know. I will definitely share more about them on my Instagram so make sure to pop in there, say hi and follow my account to be up to date with what I am up to and with Femme Luxe news.

I want to be honest with you guys as always, so I want to share that I have been given those pieces in exchange for this review. I am only sharing my honest opinions. When you decide to order, I’d appreciate you buying through the following link, it means that Femme Luxe with share a little part of their profile with me and it will mean the world to me.

No matter what you guys do today, I hope you are loving yourself and saying kind works to yourself.

Nothing seems more important to me lately than internal work, being kind and working on myself and my inner happiness so that I can be the best version of myself for my boys.

I love you guys and appreciate you all sooooo much.

Have a great day.

Love,

Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired

Hi guys,

How are you?

Today I am beyond excited to share with you pictures from another photo shoot with Dorota from Dorann Photography https://www.facebook.com/dorann.photography/ 

This is an incredible memory from when I was 25 weeks pregnant. The photo shoot was inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany’s and we had so much fun that day. As per usual Dorota captured everything beautifully and made me feel amazing. I didn’t want to wear an exact copy of what Audrey Hepburn wore as Holly. I kind of looked at all the outfits throughout the movie and put together one that felt like me.

I loved this classic look for a day I must say. All black is not something I’d wear every day but sometimes it is just pure elegance.

I know a lot of ladies wish they knew what type of style they are (there is many super fun ways to find out) as they would like to feel consistent in their style but I must say, over time I realised I am a mixture of classic (usually for special occasions), I love a bit of a rock chick, sometimes a dose of a whimsical girl and even sporty… . Trying to put myself in a box of just one type will never work for me as I am having way to much fun trying new things out and mixing things up.

Today, by sharing these pictures, I hope you get inspired to try something new too or dress up a little more than you normally would.

In the words of a great Coco Chanel,‘Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway.’ So have some fun even if it means being overdressed a little. I always feel better when I like my outfit 😉

Thanks to Dorota, that day I literary felt like on a runway. I didn’t care about people watching (in fact, most people were smiling and there is nothing quite like a smile exchanged with a stranger).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to beautiful streets of our granite city (Belmont Street and Union Street) for having us. Thanks to the Coffee House http://coffeehouseabz.com/, beautiful coffee shop for letting us capture a cozy coffee break for a busy mama and to Jamieson and Carry for letting me indulge in the most beautiful sparkle.  https://www.portfoliooffinediamonds.com/Stockists/Jamieson-&-Carry

Have an awesome week guys and please comment. Let me know which picture you like most and make sure to check out Dorota’s page, where she shares much more of her talent. https://www.facebook.com/dorann.photography/

Love,

Key to sexy while pregnant

Hi there,

Hope you are having an awesome summer week. I have been enjoying this week just as much as the previous. The weather has really been spoiling us and I am actually grateful for some clouds and wind every once in a while. Pregnancy while hot has its challenge. Especially when you’re into your 3rd trimester.

One of the challenges is choosing outfits that accommodate the big bump while still feeling stylish but most importantly comfortable.

Today I want to share with you couple of dresses I picked from https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/ 

I was offered few pieces to review. I will be honest with you. I haven’t heard about the brand before and wasn’t sure if any of their items would work for me. Models on their page are nothing like my body ( I have never had a defined waistline, especially not now ;)) But I decided to approach it with an open mind…. and I realised after receiving the goodies that this is the KEY to finding things you love – OPEN MIND. Even for me, a stylist who knows what works and what doesn’t work for my body type… I need to keep my mind and eye open and keep trying new things, especially while my body goes though a ‘little’ revolution.

I must say, once I received the clothes (2 day, love a quick delivery), I was pretty worried that even though I have chosen a stretchy fabric, the dresses weren’t going to fit. To my surprise they do, it is not a style I would probably think to go for at the moment, but I LOVE THEM. They made me look at myself a little differently and see a different site to Gosia, the one I haven’t felt for a while. So thanks so much FEMME LUXE for bringing my sexy back. Nothing wrong with feeling this way even while preggo, right?

What are your thought guys? Yay or Nay? Share your views?

First one can be found here https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/maxi-dresses/products/black-one-shoulder-maxi-dress-opal

It comes in three different colours and last time I checked, was on sale. I will definitely love it some time post pregnancy too ;))

 

 

 

The second one can be found here https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/view-all-dresses/products/white-bardot-knitted-mini-dress-carmen

At the moment it is super mini for me so I will be adding jeans to it on a colder day and wearing it as a sexy sweater. Super versatile and feels lovely against the skin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key to My Style

Key to improving my life – books that make a difference

Hi there,

How are you?

Today I want to share with you few books that I strongly recommend in terms of law of attraction or even (if you are not aware of LOA or don’t really believe it) just in terms of life improvement in general.

I ordered them all on Amazon (it is not a featured post, I was not asked to do it, this is my personal opinion… and just to be clear, I only feature products and services on my blog that I like or love and if I don’t I am always honest about how I feel about them and what they do/don’t).

The first one I want to mention is ‘THE UNIVERSE HAS YOUR BACK’ by Gabrielle Bernstein.

I love Gabby for many reasons. I first discovered her on YouTube when I was looking for help with healing after my miscarriages. She helped me in understanding signs from the Universe and in improving my meditation. You can find a lot from Gabby for online and for free but I must say this book has an awesome, structured, practical guide on self development. The order of the chapters makes sense (whereas online we often go from one thing to another, which can be confusing or even slightly destructive at times). This book helps me meditate (or pray, whatever word you prefer). It helps in understanding how we are all connected to source energy.

The biggest getaway from it though, in my case was, is how to work though fear and all the negative emotion with finding love in every situation. Gabby helps me confronting emotions rather that trying to hide from them. This book is staying by my side for whenever I need a little assistance. I also love how honest she is with sharing her personal struggles and how she overcomes them.

The second book is actually a journal, that I ordered along the first book, and I am very glad I did. I feel that they really complimented each other (also an awesome gift idea I think).

‘FIVE MINUTES IN THE MORNING ( a focus journal ).

I wanted something in addition to my gratitude journal (where I write daily what I am grateful for). I wanted something to help me explore myself and ask myself questions that I may not think of otherwise. It is amazing. I thought it will be with me for a year but I got sucked in and within few months (2-3) I have filled up 95% of the pages. But that is not important. What I love about it is that I can go back to them too and revise or look back and see how I change (and hopefully grow).

Just to give you an idea, some of the questions/suggestions are:

  • What matters to me most? (what are my values)
  • What do I desire?
  • What are my fears?
  • Take notice (stop and notice details – mindfulness)
  • I feel most energised when…
  • What went well yesterday?

… and many more. I am generally in love with journaling and keeping notes and diaries. I love looking back, keeping memories but most of all I love being fueled by gratitude. This journal helps with that too.

The third book I want to mention is ‘YOU ARE A BADASS, stop doubting your greatness and stat living an awesome life’ by Jen Sincero

Let me be honest, the title got me. Of course I want to feel like a badass more of the time and anything that claims to help, I will try. I know in my gut that part of me acknowledges my inner badass but the other one is still pretty doubtful so here I went for the book.

I must say it didn’t disappoint. I love the way Jen shares her story and how it inspires me to take action. Cause let’s face it, action is what keeps the world going and what makes our manifestation process 10 times faster. I love how she talked about the relationship we have with money (she used a letter addressed to money as an example) in a way that really hit me. It isn’t just money we can relate it too but I am sure most of us felt once or twice in our life like we didn’t have enough of it… . Well, Jen to the rescue. It’s all about the mind (again, LOA). She also talks about fear and how that blocks our manifestation process. She is super entertaining and encouraging. I laughed and smiled with this book a lot and I got the kick in the butt to move… Thank Jen!

 

The last book I want to include in this post is ‘SHE MEANS BUSINESS’ by Carrie Green

This is when I felt like I needed to get more practical help in terms of my blogging life and feeling entrepreneurial. Carrie shares her online business story in a way that a lot of us women or a lot of us bloggers or just many of us self-employed people can relate to. She provides us with many tools that we can adapt (or find out about) and she makes herself available. She is very hands on with her business (Female Entropreneur Assosiation). I posted couple of times of my Instagram page while reading this book that I enjoyed it and she actually reached out (send a little message). How’s that for setting an example? She is a hugely inspiring businesswomen with armed open to help. She means business with this book and everything she does in a humble and sweet way. She is definitely someone to watch and follow. What I loved about the book most? Probably the honesty and practicality of the advice she shared.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I was all about law of attraction and my huge goals and dreams when reaching out for all of those but your reasons may be anything from self love, self development, feeling stuck, wanting change in life, looking for something to do or even looking for company, feeling angry, not wanting to feel trapped any more and many more…. They cater for all that in my opinion.

All the above books compliment each other and I am super grateful for my new additions. I will keep you posted when I finish the new ones.

Let me know if you read any of those or if you’d like me to elaborate. Also if you have any books on LOA and self development, please share.

Have a super day.

Thanks so mych for stopping by.

I love you,

Gosia

Key to a happy bump – perfect dress

 

Hey there,

Me again with another dress. One dress and so much fun.

I have come to realize that as much as I love jeans, dress is the way to go for me now. Bump is growing by day and nothing gives me the comfort and feel good as much as dresses.

This is my third dress from Blooming Jelly and I LOVE it. You could have seen previous ones on my Instagram page. Each of them was different and each lovely for different reasons. The previous ones were not maternity and I will have to wait till bambino is here and then some to wear them again… this one is the winner for now.

I have ordered and bought few maternity dresses in the past. Many times to be disappointed because not only do I have new curves to get used to, dresses were adding volume, not in a good way… This one really surprised me. I ordered it on Friday and got it on Saturday so that was already exciting ;)) but I love the fabric.. it stretches! Just what I was telling my friends last week that I needed. Hallelujah! so so happy… . Love the way it feels and the way it sits on my body… and the colour obviously (got to love that part ;)). I couldn’t wait to show you guys and style it my way. I could think of at least another 3 ways to wear it but for now I am sharing two.

One dressy and very lady like; baby blue dress with red detail; shoes, earrings and a red lip of course (one of my favourite colour combinations).

Second one for out and about.. what I seem to be doing a lot of lately and it feels awesome. Love my hat and boots to be honest and don’t be surprised to see me wearing this set more often.

As always guys, please share your thoughts, I love hearing from you and I really appreciate when you share my posts with your friends.

Have a glorious day and smile until your face hurts ;))

Love,

Gosia

Hello lovely,

So nice of you to be stopping by. I am so grateful for you and the time you are devoting to read this and/or watch the beautiful pictures.

This time I am sharing with you the incredible results of a fashion-pregnancy photo shoot I had with the amazing Dorota from Dorann Photography.

Dorota chose Johnston Gardens as the place for the shoot and I was so happy with this choice.

The whole experience was incredible, she made me feel very relaxed. I get pretty awkward when being photographed by others and that feeling disappeared after first few minutes.

I am so happy and emotional looking at those pictures. They will forever remain an incredible memory. The fact that we are reaching our 10th wedding anniversary with my husband this year and this is exactly the place where our wedding pictures were taken adds to the magic of the whole experience.

I wanted to wear something that is me, something colourful, because you know what a colour freak I am, and because this is our rainbow baby.

I was hoping that my gratefulness for being in the blessed state will be seen in the pictures and I see it, thanks to Dorota… but I also wanted to show a piece of me, of who I am as a mother but also as a woman. I wanted to show my beautiful growing bump but also parts of me that I love and appreciate. I always talk to you about how you should love yourself and I need to do that for myself too. Every day in an opportunity to remind ourselves of that and today is the day ;))

We have been super blessed in Aberdeen over the past month of so with the gorgeous sunny weather and I have been loving wearing all sorts of dresses. I have also been changing multiple times a day. My husband always laughs that I change 3-4 times every day and I say that I see no issue if I am home and able to do so. I have always loved playing dress up and I now live a life where I can do that for a living… . I also feel that being pregnant adds to that. I mean, most of you pregnant ladies out there will probably be able to relate to the discomfort of itchy skin, sweating, swelling and other totally normal but not always easy to deal with aspects of pregnancy. Back when I was pregnant with Beno, working at the check-in after I grounded myself from flying, I was extremely uncomfortable for weeks, having to wear a uniform, tights right over my bump and sit for hours… .

Now I couldn’t be more excited to channel my inner self and enjoy the outfits I love.

On those pictures I wanted to show versatility of one dress.  I put together few options: one quite formal option (with the red dress over the yellow one, or the black one, through a date with husband kind of an option (short dress on it’s own) to a picnic version. While looking back at last few weeks and now those pictures I realised that this post also represents who I am and can be in one single day 😉

I hope it will inspire you to wear whatever it is you feel like wearing when off work (if you wear a uniform at work like I used to) or at work if you lucky enough to be your own boss. Remember to fall in love with parts of you that need it and have some fun. When I say fall in love with, I don’t mean those obviously beautiful parts. I can now officially say I love my feet. Couple of years ago I’d ask Dorota not to photograph my feet up close, now I am simply grateful to have feet that take me places and allow me to wear incredibly beautiful shoes.

Thank you so much Dorota for the day of the shoot and for capturing what I didn’t imagine was possible.

If any of you look for a photographer, baby picture, family, wedding, party, fashion, branding… Dorota has an experience in all that and more. Check out her page bellow:

Key to Her Style

Key to a style of a super-mother

Hello beautiful,

How are you? What have you been up to since your last visit here? If it is your first visit, tell me about yourself.

Today I have some super exciting news to share with you as well as a little surprise for you (so keep on reading ;)).

This week I went to pay a visit to Serena at Stellar after getting a message from her about going online in matter of days. I came to see the newest collection and chat about all the excitement.

You can see some of the amazing style available at Stellar in the following pictures.

On my way to Stellar I was wondering what I am interested in most, for myself as well as for you all. Quickly it became pretty clear that I need to see what they have to offer for us mothers. My style has evolved a lot since becoming a mother and my needs in terms of bag I choose changed dramatically. I know that I am not unique when I say that practicality of the bag is at most priority.

When thinking about it and chatting to Serena during my visit I discovered that there is plenty to choose from. I see how huge my bag had to be when Beno was 0-2 years old. Right now (he is almost 4 years old) I can get away with a little cross-body bag and see how that changes since he can carry a little backpack on his own ;). Having said that, I will soon be back to baby things everywhere plus Beno so I am already exploring new options. Hopefully some of you mamas of many children can help me choose (pretty please:)).

During my visit I was overwhelmed with the choices and very pleased to discover how comfortable the bags are. I was testing how much I can do single-handedly, without taking the bag off the shoulder, many bags passed the test.

All the pictures include bags that in my believe have a potential to being a ‘supermother’s bag of style’.

I also have been realizing how much power a great accessory holds…. and what is the one accessory we all need with us basically at all times? Exactly! Even husband has a question the minute you leave the house for a family trip.. ‘Did you take…. . Do you have… .’right?

So how about we treat ourselves to a bag that speaks our style and always makes us feel fabulous. Remember that you can rock a great bag even when running errands in you ‘tee and jeans’ combo or ‘trainers, leggings and a tunic’ set.

Enjoy browsing through the pictures bellow and here’s the news: on Friday the 18th of May Stellar launches their own website (www.stellar-shop.com) that will ship to all over Europe. If you want to read more about the business itself (who, how and when it was set up) here is my post from January when I visited them for the first time.  http://www.keytome.co.uk/2018/01/13/key-to-finding-a-bag-of-style/

…and as my gift to you I managed to get an exclusive 10% off for you. When you go online simply enter the discount code ‘KeyToMe’. You can also use it in store (mention the code to ladies). Discount is not to be used in conjunction with other offers.

I am so excited for Stellar and for us ladies to have the Italian style at the doorstep. This is the only place in Scotland to have these particular Italian brands available for us.

Also follow Stellar on Instagram (Stellar Aberdeen) and on Facebook and make sure to tag them and me in you purchases, cannot wait to get inspired by your style.

Love you,

Gosia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key to Her Style, Key to My Style

Key to me – the place of feel good

Hi beautiful.

How are you? I am so blessed to be typing this right after our sunny holiday in South Africa. Feeling topped up with vitamin D and positive energy I am more than ready to get back to work.

I have recently done a lot of thinking about ‘key to me’  and what it really represents for me.

 

It happened one morning when I was completely filled with appreciation for life and all its blessings, going though all the littlest things that I am grateful for.  I realized then that ‘key to me’ is the place of feel good.

It is all those things that can be done to be in such place, it is the daily gratitude. It is all the things to do with my style and all the pieces that make me feel me and that makes me feel great. It is being there for others and being the best version of me. But it is also the realization that it is my responsibility to do all that and to daily check in with myself that I am internally happy, based on me. It is reminding myself that Happiness is my job. Giving it away to little things or people around is simply not an option any more. In my life as well as my job I share that with others and my biggest goal and challenge is to help others recognize their uniqueness and beauty and to cherish that daily.

Key to me is also allowing myself to feel whatever I need to feel in every given moment, regardless of external factors or even people that are important to me. It is remembering that my sanity and happiness is a priority and only by checking on it daily I can be a good driver of my life. Sometimes, it is also acknowledging that I could use help from others and then asking for it without feeling bad. It is all about staying real.

WE are in control of our style, dreams, goals and so on. I am so sick and tired of complaining and excuses. I must say that my life has gone though a great cleanse lately and I surround myself with incredible and inspiring individuals now. I am a great believer in laws of the universe and in the fact that we put out, multiplies (put in the simplest way). I am not saying one must be fake in always smiling, that is not really possible but I and good, and getting really good at finding ways to make myself feel great, have fun and that, I believe, makes me a better, stylist, blogger, boss lady but most importantly better wife and mother. It is a whole new experience, realizing that I can like myself, my ideas, my words, my body, my soul, my energy and not feel embarrassed about it. Learning to love myself and learning to like myself are two different things and both are crucial in creating a life I love.

I really wanted to have little token, something to represent what this means to me and be a reminder. I have few pieces of personalized jewellery, and love them all (especially the once that were gifts) but this time I decided to ‘think of myself’ to stop making others responsible for my happiness and take all the credit.

The necklace I chose by INNEFABLES jewellery is perfect. Love the design of it. It will forever be my green light to be ME just the way I am and to allow and encourage others to do the same. My name necklace https://www.ineffabless.co.uk/name-necklaces-uk.html has a ‘Key to me’ engraved on it and is my newest and one of my favourite pieces already. Personalized jewellery https://www.ineffabless.co.uk/ is a great idea to treat ourselves and we all love a little reminder to be who we are right?

I hope reading this will encourage you to check in with yourself how you are feeling today and give yourself permission and encouragement to dream bigger than before and act on those dreams because you are worth is.

If you fancy treating yourself like I did, here is a link to the personalized jewellery https://www.ineffabless.co.uk/personalized-jewelry/engravable-necklaces.html

 

 

 

 

Above all I hope you are feeling awesome today.

Love you,

Gosia

‘Key to me’ style

Hello you,

I hope you are acknowledging today how awesome you are and how far you have come!?

I am so grateful to have you here. Please say hello so that I can say it directly to you.

Today’s post is to share couple of the pieces I found at vintage fare on Saturday ( Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fare ). I was so excited to be there.

I watched and admired men and women with most unique and inspiring style. What a place to be at! What an awesome galaxy we live in… . There were pieces from decades ago. Sellers were telling me stories about clothes, accessories, shoes and more that I was viewing and buying. This gives me chills. I went with an intention on getting a blouse or a shirt and maybe an accessory and I found it all… not just any, obviously, but things that I imagined myself getting before, I visualized  ;). I usually have an idea what I am looking for ( I am always getting inspired and taking notes ) and I am open to new ideas. I shop with my body and skin tone as well as practicality in mind. Ticked all those boxes yet again :))

I think I just realized, how good I am at the treasure hunting 😉

Let me show you. You may have seen this inspo on my Instagram page some time ago. (Inspo! means I am not looking to get this very top).

I knew I would get what I was inspired here with though, it was just a matter of time ;). How about this :)))??

 

 

What do you think? I love the high neck and buttons at the back, that was what inspired me most. The fabric is different but actually more functional for my day to day life as well as my body shape.

I am so happy. I paired the blouse with these incredible clip earrings from 1960s. I also can’t wait to play around and swap the pieces around with the following combo.

 

 

‘… the way the fabric is woven catches the light where the pattern is woven through in a different direction to the main fabric.
The cream/ white one is tailored with a tapering front section and buttoned at the back.
The electric blue floral satin shirt is a baggier style to be worn with a tight-fitting ‘pencil’ skirt. This colour was very popular in the 80s!’

Quote about these beauties by incredible Fran Boyd ( ‘Goodbyenormajean’ on Instagram, and ‘Goodbye, Norma Jean’ on Facebook ). Find her, follow her and get inspired). I love her positive attitude, excitement, awesome style and knowledge about pieces, every single one.

That is all I am sharing with you today.

There will be more outfits with these as well as new pieces. Watch this space and make sure to follow me on Instagram for daily updates.

PS- ‘Key to me style’ is now becoming a hashtag too. I have been on a search for a word of phrase to use whenever I refer to personal style; one that is inspired, driven and attached to a person as opposed to brand, trends, fashion or anything else outside of their soul. Please feel free to use this phrase and tag me or hashtag your posts, any time you get inspired by someone’s unpredictable style or whenever you share your unique style and outfits that you come up with. Have an awesome day.

Love you,

Gosia

Key to finding a bag of style

Hello lovely people,

How come it’s Sunday already?

We are in what is statistically the lowest week of the year but I am not one to care about such things so let me share something exciting with you today.

I have recently met an amazing lady who happens to live in Aberdeen too. Serena Venegoni (oh how I love the sound of her name) is an owner at Stellar Aberdeen ( on Chapel Street ).

 

 

 

I love Serena’s story. She has lived in Aberdeen for 10 years (I can relate to that ;)), she worked corporate jobs for years and then went to have family and for almost 7 years looked after her children (I love this part too obviously). For her return to workplace she didn’t just choose to get a job, she chose to set up this stunning business and it is going strong. The name of the place is inspired by Serena’s daughters; Stella and Lara (that warms my heart so much and I really love the sound of it ;).

I love seeing women entrepreneurs and the fact that we can all get inspired by her.

In October Serena opened the boutique with most gorgeous Italian bags and accessories. I went to visit her this week and fell in love with the place, the atmosphere and the bags of course. I love that there is something for me and for my clients as well as YOU, reading and following my journey ;))

Serena’s knowledge about her product is insane. Brands that sell at Stellar include Tosca Blu (gorgeous colours), Trussardi Jeans (more casual trends), Cochinelle and Furla (designer’s classics) as well as Piquadro (incredibly practical high tech business bags and briefcases). Apart from that Serena designed her own Stellar silk scarfs, each pattern is inspired by different Italian City.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the classic pieces, the softest leather and sometimes a pop of colour. I already own an incredibly soft and beautiful scarf and leather gloves and will be returning for more soon ;)))

These are my personal favourite day to day bags. What are yours?

 

 

 

This time of the year is amazing to refresh our personal style, adding some investment pieces to make the style stand out (and taking advantage of sales ;))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned as there will definitely be more exciting news coming from me and Stellar.

Let me know what you like the most.

Have an amazing weekend.

Love,

Gosia
