5 Timeless items you can wear all year long

5 Timeless items you can wear all year long

I am somebody that loves to shop. I have always loved beautiful clothes, designers, pretty things and I am fully aware most of it we do not need in our lives but it is simply my joy. However, the older I am getting the more I am into more timeless items and realise it is important to have some sort of capsule wardrobe. Of course I am never forgetting in investing in beauty but today is about gorgeous shoes, bags and clothing.

Holidays are one of the times when I am packing mainly neutral clothings, simple t-shirts, denim and neutral colour palette as I know I can create endless amount of outfits. Do not get me wrong I am obsessed with cute outfits, touch of colour, textures and layered jewellery but I am also aware of weight limit most of us have to keep in mind.

So here is my list of 5 items that I feel is worth in investing to have these key pieces that can get you through all seasons.

Pair of comfortable sandals

Nothing sounds worse than a weight limit when you are trying to pack your stunning outfits for holidays. And let’s face it shoes are heavy and we need options. So to shop smartly for comfortable sandals that can work day to night is the best option. I personally feel neutrals work but also metallics as you can wear them with anything. I know not everybody loves a kitten heel but I find it perfect option as it gives you a lift but also comfort. However, good pair of sandals can be worn any season and you can just dust them off for holiday season in December.

Good white t-shirt or top

It may sound like a big yawn but white tops and t-shirts will get you through the summer and to be honest it is handy at any season. Yet, it is so hard to find a good white t-shirt. I am very happy with quality of Sezane but also heard very positive reviews about basic t-shirts from Massimo Dutti. Either or it is a key part of our capsule wardrobes.

Blazer

I know for so many people this is such a boring mention but honestly I cannot imagine life without a blazer. The versatility of this piece is unmatched to me. Keeps you warmer, cooler, classier and with blazers of the right length and cut you can create even dresses. As per the shoes I would go neutral as you have bigger chance that it will be key part of most your outfits.

Jeans

Jeans are such a key part of our lives. However, it is so hard to find a good pair of jeans. We are all different sizes and shapes and for me the issues is usually length. I have now discovered this brand NO44 and OMG finally a long enough pair for me that fits well. I think Frame also has incredible jeans selection. I know lot of the summer days can be super hot but if you live in place like London you never know what sort of summer you will get so I guarantee you will need a good pair even for summer months.

Slip dress

Surprisingly slip dresses are still seen more of a night wear for so many. I do not get it. It was an item so popular in the 90s and it came back bigger than ever. I find them so versatile, easy to pack for any holiday and you can accessorise it so easily for a day or night. If you have cute sandals or trainers you can create totally different vibe looks. I love these days there are so many varieties from plain to printed or with lace trim. The choice is endless.

BEAUTY HACKS FOR HOT GIRL SUMMER

Beauty hacks for hot girl summer

March is here and we are just months away from living our best lives on holidays, sipping chilled wine by the pool and soaking in sunshine whilst looking our best. My Tiktok feed is full of calorie deficit tips, workouts, motivation videos but not so much about beauty tools and care we can do now to look fabulous this summer.

My first tip is to invest into good home device for hair removal. I am rooting for this Silk’n 7 gold . I am doing laser hair removal on some parts in the salon but I am using this on my legs mainly. You will see first results in 2 weeks and your hair will grow less by more than 90 %. I find it fantastic that you can just put so much less into maintenance during summer months. It is so easy to use and works magic.

You know I am a lover of my Currentbody LED Masks and now I have invested in the Series 2 which is stronger, fits better on my face and I am using it at least 3 times a week. I have a running discount code EVA10 for any Currentbody products.

I was also very curious about the Currentbody RF device. I heard so much about Radio Frequency so wanted to try for myself. And it works wonders. I feel it is really helping saggy skin. I focus a lot on my neck which is an area where women see signs of ageing quite early on. You can use the same discount code EVA10.

And of course I cannot forget my ZIIP Halo. I have been using this consistently for almost 2 years and it is worth every penny. It lifts your face instantly as well as works so fantastic on fine lines. You can also use my discount code EVAZIIP.

And of course do not forget other self-care if you can. I love doing facials, massages and move my body.

Top Trainers to wear Spring 2025

Top Trainers to wear Spring 2025

Growing up I remember so well the movie Working girl and the main protagonist in a very New York City outfit. All fun and chic at the top and comfort and sporty aesthetic at the bottom. That image stuck in my head forever. She knew what we all know that trainers provide comfort and you can still look fab wearing them.

That image is pretty standard now when office girlies just change to their heels once they arrive in their workplace. And trainers are huge part of our lives. We do sports in them, we run errands, we travel in them, we wear them to work and they play huge part in fashion industry. So what trainers to wear in 2025?

I feel that Adidas Samba will still hold a strong spot. I personally find them more elegant whilst the trend of quite bulky running shoes suit more cool looks. I love all the colour combinations adidas is coming out with and it is quite fun to picture different outfits in my head. However, I am really in to these red ones.

Then we have the designer collabs like New Balance x Miu Miu. That brings us some new models that add some coolness to your wardrobe. Brands like Jimmy Choo have their own signature soles as well as playing with embellishment. I feel specific elements will play a key part to trainers fashion as well.

I really love the futuristic running style shoes like these New Balance as as more modest models. And from personal experience I find them also the most comfortable. I suspect it is due to higher platform and more padded style. I can walk miles in these kind of trainers.

So whichever model you pick, make sure you have fun dressing them up or down. Spring is round the corner so lets bring some freshness to our trainers collection.

Oxygen amplified Facial by Element Eight in Harrods

As a skincare and facial lover I am always so happy if I get to try new treatments and treatments I have not tried before. Self-care is a big thing for me as I believe us women and men we deserve it. Life gets so busy and hectic and this is so important for our health and mental health a as sometimes it can be the only time when we can truly stop and enjoy the moment. In the recent years I feel people multi-task more and more from checking messages from school on your toilet break to doing LED masks whilst walking on the walking pad. There is simply not enough time to focus on just one thing. So facial and massage when you are just doing one thing are great way how to calm our body and mind.

This time I headed to Harrods to try Oxygen amplified facial with Element Eight. This is new skincare brand for me and after the facial I immediately included the Element Eight growth factor in my skincare routine which the facialist recommended. I felt during the facial my skin reacted so well to all products but I usually try only one product each time so I can eliminate easily in case of bad reaction.

All I can just say the treatment was a bliss. The brand offers patented liquid oxygen treatment which enables the skin to absorb their products in to deeper layers of skin. The whole facial combines machine as well as manual treatment. I personally love that as you get the best of both worlds and nothing beats a good facial massage done by hands. It is truly relaxing experience for me and I am sure for many others. During the treatment you will experience elements of cryotherapy, LED as well as oxygen infusion to skin. The combination of these together with the manual massage will enable the products get into deeper layers of the skin. You will be leaving the treatment relaxed and with glowy skin.

I have included here some of the brand’s most popular products so you can explore a bit more.
