Miroslava Duma

Beauty: Chopping it Off

15 November, 2012 Nelia

I’ve been staring at this photo of Keira Knightley for at least 10 minutes now, and I think I’m in love…with her hair and makeup. Of course, it helps that she looks the way she does, but also, I’m totally into those highlights, layers, red lip, lined eyes…so good! Well done, Allure! Well done!

And though I don’t have Keira’s stunning face, I am still loving my new shorter do, which was originally cut by the uber-talented Alain Larivee of John Frieda during TIFF, and then most recently by Fouad at the Tony Chaar Salon. I went from “past the boob” hair to “past the chin” cut, and I have never loved it more. There’s something really kick-ass about having shorter hair, and it feels really good, and fun, and free. It was almost as if I got a boost of confidence the moment my long locks hit the floor.

More after the jump!

Style Fille: Miroslava Duma

24 February, 2012 Nelia

As always, am in love with Tommy Ton’s street style photos from Fall 2012 shows for Style.com…or rather his photos from outside of the Fall 2012 shows. After clicking through the lot of them, I spotted a few photos of my fave Russian Style Fille – Mira Duma, in a variety of amazing looks. From office-ready, to winter-cozy, to perfectly 70’s.

I love that this girl can pull off pretty much ANY look, without looking like a fashion victim. I also love that Balenciaga leather jacket of my dreams (below on Mira’s friend), and the fact that I have the same vintage Chanel backpack as Mira. I don’t know why it’s even important, but for some reason it made me happy.

So, what do you think of Miroslava Duma’s fashion experiments? Which look of hers is your fave? And how in the world can I get my paws on those awesome leather overalls? If you know, share in the comments.

Style Fille: Miroslava Duma

27 July, 2011 Nelia

Mira is a woman after my own heart, whether wearing the shit out of her scarlett 3.1 Philip Lim trench, rocking an H&M shirt/dress without any shoes, or sporting one of my favorite Christopher Kane galaxy dresses, she always looks like a million bucks. If you’re a fan of this tiny style fille’s fashion sense, make sure to check out her latest venture – Buro 24/7. If you’re a Russian-speaker like me, you’ll be happy to read some great fashion articles, and for the rest of you, there’s Mira’s daily outfits to keep you clicking. Either way, it’s a win-win.

Style Fille: Miroslava Duma

27 July, 2010 Nelia

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Miroslava Duma in chic pregnancy clothing! I’ve been seeing a lot of mommies-to-be around the financial district lately, and even a friend of mine is currently expecting a little bundle of joy. And since looking stylish, while sporting a bump isn’t always easy, I thought that I’d share some photos of the always inspiring Russian It-girl Miroslava with you. Mainly because she’s my friend’s favorite style icon, and also because most of her looks are quite easy to borrow. You don’t have to sacrifice style, just because you’ve got extra padding on your body…the way I see it, you get to eat for two, why not have double the style?
