Sneak peek - Photoshoot with NobodyKnowsMarc.com

2013-05-19T01:50:00.000-07:00

Those who have already checked out my column on ELLE.ua should know about our photo-shoot with Gianluca Senese, did you?
No matter, here I'm going to share with you some more additional details of that day... In the middle of April street style photographer, the one behind NobodyKnowsMarc.com (contributor of Vogue.it Grazia.it Refinery29.com) visited Tbilisi and suggested me to shoot for his newest project, where he is going to feature people from the world of fashion and art. As he explained I'll be the first hero of upcoming project, that will be focused on the fashion stuff and the living places. At the same time we did shots for e-shop Styligion.com where I'll be featured with the short interview. As soon as it appears online I'll let you know my dear readers to enjoy it.
Have a sunny Sunday;)

My picks of the month

2013-05-10T14:17:00.000-07:00

What can be more exiting for a girl than doing new purchases? I think only Vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries can be compared! So, because it's too late (I love updating my blog at night) for shameless calories, I'll share with you my picks of the month: lets start with Kenzo SS2013 resort collection that has totally won my heart! Inspired by the jungles of Asia, Kenzo's vibrant collection is home to some of the seasons fiercest leopard prints. These cotton-blend intarsia sweater and leopard-jacquard pants are an eye-catching examples of the label's casual-cool spirit. Than on the list comes Valentino's iconic "Rockstud" pumps that are real favorites of the fashion pack, I vote for fuchsia one embellished with the label's signature pale-gold pyramid studs. As a fond of statement clutches I can't go further without a new eye-catching cluth, so multi-colored cotton clutch from Mawi with neon yellow fastenings and green crystals is my new beloved finding!

Maybe you have already noticed that I'm very conservative while choosing new sunglasses, but I think I truly need this Prada shades... Regarding necklaces it's all about chains for me, especially gold-toned, "Love" bracelet-bangles are also among my favorites.

I'm finishing my list with Smythson notebook for Supermum's, it means a lot for me!;)

Have a lovely weekend...

BURBERRY Guests attend Met Gala 2013

2013-05-08T05:30:00.000-07:00

On sixth of the May Burberry hosted a table at the Metropolitan Museum of Art 2013 Costume Institute Gala in New York.

The annual event marks the launch of this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Exhibition Punk: Chaos to Couture and is on view from May 9 through August 14, 2013.

Exhibition will examine punk’s impact on high fashion from the movement’s birth in the 1970s through its continuing influence today.

Burberry guests at the event included Sienna Miller, Tom Sturridge, Chelsea Clinton, Mark Mezvinsky, Michelle Dockery, Cara Delevingne and Mario Testino.

My favorite looks from Burberry guest list include:

British actress Sienna Miller in sugar white crepe open-back plunging dress with crystal and stud embellishments matched with studded cropped biker jacket, clutch bag and shoes all from Burberry of course and British model and face of Burberry - Cara Delevingne who wore studded crepe, black, plunge-neck column dress, her stunning makeup was the result of Burberry beauty team as well. (Burberry makeup is available to order at Burberry.com)

As part of the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition, Burberry is showcasing a studded leather jacket, lace dress and studded leather shoes specially designed by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey.

To celebrate the exhibition, Burberry has also launched an exclusive capsule collection inspired by the Burberry ProrsumSpring/Summer 2011 season and exclusive to the Burberry Soho and East 57^th Street stores in New York.

Spring is in the air . . .

2013-05-02T06:21:00.001-07:00

My garden is blooming, air is much more fresher, my wardrobe gets more colorful and my heart is beating even faster - yes, spring is really in the air! It's my beloved period of the year, when every single moment seems much more beautiful! Despite of natural beauty of the spring I have several reasons to love it - some of my most precious people are born exactly in April (including myself). I'll share with you the shots from my Instagram diary done during last month.
Wish you happy orthodox Easter and pleasant holidays,
Natuka

Your life companion!

2013-04-29T06:58:00.000-07:00

Can't you imagine your life, like me, without capturing every single pretty moment of it? If so, make your life richer, simpler, and more fun with GALAXY S4. As a real life companion, the new Samsung GALAXY S4 helps bring us closer and captures those fun moments we have enjoyed. Each feature was designed to simplify our daily lives. Furthermore, it cares enough to monitor our health and well-being. To put it simply, the Samsung GALAXY S4 is there for you.

Now I'll tell you what personally I most loved about this super exiting smart phone:

1. Dual Shot - see both sides of the story: two cameras, one extraordinary photo. Capture the "I was there" moments of your life by simultaneously shooting with the front and rare cameras. Get the shot you want with more variate of styles to choose from. With dual shot friends and family can experience everything with you, no matter how far they may be.

2. Drama Shot - capture every action in one photo: get a sequence of photos in one frame to create a collage that tells a story better than a single photo could. Drama shots lets you take series of pictures of any moving subject and puts them together - so you can see detailed action that's seamlessly merged in one very dramatic photo.

3. Smart Pause - the GALAXY S4 knows what you are doing and intuitively moves along with you. Whenever you look away, your smart phone makes sure to pause whatever you're watching, so you don't miss anything. Amazingly, smart pause resumes where you left off when you look back at the screen again.

4. Air view - simply motion your hand at the Samsung GALAXY S4 to accept calls, change music, or browse the web and your photos with air gesture. Air view makes it quicker, easier, and super-convenient to enlarge content and the photos, preview emails, and dial all with your finger barely hovering over the screen.

The design of the Samsung GALAXY S4 defies what’s possible. The incredibly-wide FULL HD Super AMOLED screen fits perfectly within an extraordinarily slim bezel that’s encased in a special polycarbonate body, making this the lightest and most sophisticated GALAXY yet.

So Georgian customers and fans of smart phones really have the reason to be excited, as Samsung GALAXY S4 is available to buy in Tbilisi from 29 of April exclusively at Alta shops. The very first GALAXY S4 was welcomed by 30 car cortege at Tbilisi international Airport and transported to the Alta shop's Saburtalo show room on 24 of April where all the customers had a great chance to have a glance at the very first GALAXY S4 model entered Georgian market.

Below you can enjoy some pics how GALAXY S4 was welcomed to Tbilisi.

Sneak peep inside my bag

2013-04-28T12:29:00.003-07:00

I think it is not less interesting what is inside the girl's bag than in her wardrobe. So, I have decided to have a sneak peep inside my bag with you and find out what is going there. The first what you always find in my bag are sunglasses, Ray-Ban Clubmasters of course - perfect for every situation, than you will come across with cosmetic box, full with bronzing powder and other beauty stuff like that. I want to emphasize that for the moment my favorite facial powder is Guerlain Four Season - I'm truly in love with it, because of it's fantastic color palette! As a passionate instagramer my iphone is always with me as well, the diary for notes - which I found much more intimate and private than doing notes in my iphone (for the moment my beloved diary is "La Parisienne", designed by timeless style and beauty icon Ines De La Fressange). And at least there is always place in my bag for perfume like Estee Lauder Pleasures that I use almost ten years.

Have a lucky week,

Natuka

Burberry Flagship store opening in Tbilisi

2013-04-18T06:14:00.000-07:00

Iconic British brand Burberry, which is headquartered in London, was founded in 1856.

Last week Burberry hosted the event to celebrate the opening of its very first store in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. The evening event at the Burberry store, that is located beyond the Freedom Square (exactly under the Municipal building of Tbilisi) was attended nearly by 150 guests. I was also honored to attend this truly amazing event and celebrate the enter of this timeless brand to the Georgian market. The interior of the store reflects the global design concept developed by super talented - Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey using British materials throughout. Flat screen video walls showcasing innovative Burberry content are controlled by the brand's global headquarters in London.

Guests of the evening were welcomed by sparkling glass of champagne and enjoyed live DJ set played by British, Burberry Acuostic musican - Matthew Whitehouse.

For the moment newly opened shop features the clothing lines for men and women only, I hope we will soon be able to shop Burberry children's wear in Tbilisi, cause as I have observed it's especially popular among Georgian parents.

Weekend inspiration - Betty Boop

2013-03-30T01:48:00.000-07:00

What inspires you? Isn't sexiest animated cartoon charecter and the symbol of Jaz age flappers - Betty Boop super inspiring? I suppose famouse Burlesque dancer - Dita Von Teese agrees with me, as you can often found her performance, dance costumes exactly inspired by cutest Betty Boop which made her appearance on the screen on August 9, 1930! Can you imagine? The very first cartoon where cutest Betty appeared was "Dizzy dishes".
What personally I most love about Betty boop is her kind of innocent sexuality...
What do you think?
Have a lovely weekend.

Sunny Mood . . .

2013-03-23T09:11:00.002-07:00

As I observe Instagram is step by step killing fashion blogs! Every moment I have free time to update my blog or just check others, I prefer to post something on my Instagram account and get updated whats going on by Instagram as well... Does it mean that mania of fashion blogs is going to the end?

Until it happens:)) I'll try to share with you what I'm going to wear this summer. The color that truly dominated on S/S - 2013 catwalks is bright yellow, spotted on Fendi, Gucci and Michael Kors runway shows... I'll definitely add the splash of the color to my summer wardrobe and I'm sure citrus yellow will make my summer's sunny days even more brighter.

Enjoy your weekend,

Xoxo

My Maternity Wardrobe

2013-03-10T01:13:00.000-08:00

Have I already mentioned in previous posts that I'm waiting to the third baby? Yes, I do!;) I started sixth month so my baby bump (and other problematic parts;)) are getting bigger and bigger, but anyway it's pleasure! Nothing for to worry about! It's like a game to be interesting and inspiring in every situation, it's only upon you to make this long and little bit passive period as productive and pleasant as possible.

Here I'll try to share with you some essentials from my maternity wardrobe:

1. As the jeans is the most important essential of my everyday life, Topshop boyfriend style, maternity jeans and J Brand slim fit also maternity one are real treasure

2. Natural materials are especially important while pregnancy, cause our body is much more sensitive than normal, so T by Alexander Wang has a lot to suggest you during this period, I love...

3. As I have mentioned it's my third pregnancy but I have never said bye-bye to the heels in necessary situations (of course, in the case if there is not some restrictions by doctor), so gladiator style ankle boots are my favorite for upcoming season

4. And at last: the most comfortable essential in my list is J.Crew silk pajama set for sure! I love to wear it even daytime with elegant heels and some chunky knits.Try it, it's fun...

Happy end of 2012

2012-12-25T08:21:00.001-08:00

This is a real thank you note to Fashionista.com that featured me in their final article of this year, dedicated to street style stars of 2012. The fact itself is truly pleasant but what I most of all loved about this article is that I'm featured there with my super stylish sister - Likuna and they have emphasized the fact that style is really something genetic. I believe that it's true, one can't learn how to dress, not even wearing only luxury brands can guarantee the taste and interesting style.

I suppose it's my last post of this year, we will meet soon in 2013!;)

Have a great Christmas,
and enjoy your holidays.

ELIE SAAB S/S - 2013

2012-10-27T08:52:00.001-07:00

... Preparing for the show

Taxi! We are hurrying up...

Instagram Diary

The last day of s/s 2013 fashion week Paris was super rainy, but it couldn't spoil our mood as we were on our way to Elie Saab fashion show! Where legendary french actress Alain Delon was sitting in the very front row;)

The show began with clean silhouettes - button up shirts with pants and pencil skirts with blouses were in monochromatic colors: from blue and turquoise up to red and nude pink. Almost each model wore a matching bag. Fashion show unexpectedly transformed from monochromatic into something colorful and printed - as the catwalk was occupied by the models wearing flowing and printed dresses in ultra summery colors.

Personally for me the highlight of the show was designer's signature style evening dresses that were made in unimaginably wonderful lace, sometimes emphasized at the waist with the thin belts, adorned with flashing beads and crystals.

Elie Saab really did all his best for woman to feel herself comfortable and very, very special!

Few days ago in the beautiful part of my city, I mean old Tbilisi me and my sister - Likuna had a photo shoot for NY based PAPER magazine's upcoming issue. Very talanted young photographer - Nia Gvatua was behind the camera, and journalist Mickey Boardaman lead the interview by skype. We talked a lot about fashion scene in Tbilisi, personal style solutions, favorite designers and so on...
This photo shoot is truly especially important and lovely for me, as I'm featured there with my sister - Likuna.
As soon as I receive some issues of magazine, I promise to post the article here, so you will be able to enjoy it quite soon.

So, I'm back... I really missed to share you some of my obsessions and new findings. Lets begin: letterman sweatshirts are truly one of my favorites for these season. I have already tried pink one at Paris fashion week S/S-2013 with the mannish shirt inside it and with dark green pants. To avoid too much "college girl look" I matched it with bordeaux color kitten heeled shoes and Tom Ford Cat eye sunglasses for a little bit of flirty mood.I think my new love Jil Sander "Faith"clutch and Casio watch for kind of nostalgic mood accomplishes this outfit.

Bordeaux Season

2012-08-03T00:50:00.003-07:00

While looking through the pre - fall and autumn/winter 2012/13 collections it becomes clear that bordeaux is defininitely going to be the main color of upcoming season. From Balenciaga up to Alexander Wang you can easily spot this color in almost every single collection. Truly desired and perfect color for fall's season as it easily reminds us favorite fruit of the season - ripe, delicious grapes from the very first glance.
I'm definitely going to find some special items in bordeaux color, I really feel little bit tired from so many head to toe prints.

Romantic Headbands . . .

2012-07-26T05:59:00.004-07:00

I'm not a big fan of head pieces, but last time I found myself really obsessed with romantic headbands, adorned with colorful stones or decorated with flowers as spotted at Dolce & Gabbana A/W-2012/13 catwalk. Here you can enjoy pictures shot last month during couture week in Paris. I tried pure white rose decorated headband and aerial, maxi dress with lace details on it. We easily found proper place for shooting - as my very romantic dress in the mood for "princess' night gowns" looked super thematically in Louvre gardens.

Enjoy it;)
