Key to My Style

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 ;).

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/

Key to Her Style, Key to My Style

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

key to me – saying goodbye to 2017

I have been wanting to make this year’s revision and I have been putting it off.

I think its like with everything that we put off, we are afraid. I am often afraid that I haven’t given it my all and I judge myself instead of cheering myself to what I have been doing and accomplishing.  I am good at both but being hard on myself is easier, I have more practice on it and I can go crazy here (I am a natural ;)). I am also good lately at motivating myself though which feels refreshing. At times it does not feel natural or even possible, all the things that I tell myself I will do, be, get to but I keep saying it, thinking it, writing it down so I can finally feel it and make it happen.

Yesterday I fell for the Instagram trend of #best9. Not really sure how you are meant to choose I just scrolled back to the end of last year and from the beginning of 2017 I took screenshots of pictures that meant the most to me. I ended up with much more than 9… then I managed to somehow ‘close the deal’ on 9. Feeling bad for not including  people that actually meant just as much as the ones that I did include… (being hard on myself again) but then I took a deep breath… tears filled my eyes and I realized how blessed I am. In a year that feels like not that much has been done, I realized I made quite a few long term dreams come true.

I have been places with people that mean the most. I have re-visited home land with my own family.  I spend an evening with a friend I haven’t seen in years. I have taken care of myself and keep reminding myself to put myself first. I organised a ladies get together that gave me more than I imagined and will soon turn into something much bigger. I have turned my passion into a job that I never dreamed possible. I earned money from doing what I love. I have met people that cheer me to it and inspire me to be me. I have watched children grow (deep breath)… and let one go. All this together is bitter sweet but has made me who I am now.

I always knew that bad times are meant to give us the contrast and appreciate the good times more. So I am super grateful for every day. I have survived ! ;)) I am a warrior and will fight for all that I believe in this year (that may just be the most important goal 🤔).

Looking  at myself as if I stepped outside  of my body, I say, ‘you have made more possible that you realise. You remember when you used to dream of the things you now ‘have’ ? That really is your power. Use it wisely ;)’

…. and to all of you and each of you individually, I hope you are well (as I say it often) and I mean it.

I hope you let yourself cry and laugh whenever you feel like it. I hope that you dream as big and ‘impossible’ as when you were a little girl/little boy. I hope you don’t care what boundaries the world told you to believe in.  I hope that you ask yourself  what it is that you like and want (not what the trend to wanting is now). I hope you love like crazy, dance like there is no-one else in the room, I hope that when you stumble, you remember that it’s just part of the dance and that you enjoy getting up and making yourself proud. I hope that you eat what makes you excited, that you look after yourself and that your style speaks who you are.

I am sooooo grateful for you. I love you and wish you best in New Year, your year.
