About silk;
.......................................................................................
An all-climate fabric, silk is warm and cozy in winter + comfortably cool when temperatures rise.
Its natural temperature-regulating properties give silk this paradoxical ability to cool and warm simultaneously.
Silk is never bulky, and they're so easy to pack when traveling!

meow goes the kitten


The return of the kitten heel has dawned upon us! The point of time when we all used to say 'go tall or go with
none at all' is officially coming to a close. Think chic kitten heels in suede and velvet for an elegant, yet effortless look. They add a stylish sense of sophistication, even when paired with the most casual of outfits.

How do you wear our pieces with your kitten heels? Send us your pictures and we'll put them up right here!
Just drop us an email at; style.advisor@stylesofia.com.


Start snapping girls!

Denim transitioned //

I think everyone knows how we all feel about denim; and this season we pair them with beautiful muted tones. Think cream, plum and dusty pink. No matter how the weather is like in your country - this is the most versatile garment you can ever have in your wardrobe, so invest in one!

Blog Talk: Tuuli J.

We hope you're having a fantastic week! We've been busy as usual but we'd like to add a touch of inspiration to your daily read. Age has always been quite a superficial topic when it comes to entertainment & fashion, and generally - younger is usually the better. What's rare is when you see young newcomers with amazing talent. Extremely young with raw, brilliant dexterity? That's a few and far in between!

Featured on many main fashion sites like Stylehunter, this week we present to you stylish & savvy fashion blogger, Tuuli Jürgenson. At only 13 years old, we first came across her blog via weardrobe and we've been charmed! Her eclectic style and spontaneous shots has made her blog an absolute pleasure to read. All the way from Estonia, we now talk to Tuuli to learn more about her influences, inspiration & passion.



Tell us a little bit about yourself!
Well, I live in Estonia, I study English, German and lots of other stuff in primary school , I also go to art school where I paint, draw & study art history. I love fashion, art and illustrating and I adore blogging world.


What inspired you to make such a breakthrough in fashion? You dress amazingly well for a 13 year old, to be honest.
First of all, thank you! At first I just read tons of other fashion blogs & they inspired me to create my own blog. At the moment I'm inspired by tons of fashion magazines like Italian / British Vogue, I-D, Lula, W & V magazine and so on. When I'm in bookshop I like to dip into fashion books with amazing vintage and retro inspired ads & editorials.

I also get a lot of inspiration from streetstyle blogs, lookbook.nu, fashion bloggers & even from good music and old movies with Audrey Hepburn. I have a inspiration board on my wall, too. I actually don't have any certain style muse, I just derive inspiration from loads of bloggers & streetstyles.



In addition to fashion, you draw digital images exceptionally well. How did you learn?
Practice makes perfect. I started drawing digital images long ago, and I just learned from other artists and from tutorials available on the internet.

Where you do you see yourself within the next 5 years? Still blogging and making it big in fashion?
Yes, I think I will still be blogging, but I also want to go to graduate school and study something fashion and/or art related!



How is fashion like in Estonia? Do you think you can rock the scene up a little more?
It's nothing special, most of the people wear high street fashion and nobody really pays attention to what they're wearing!


That's slightly unfortunate. You'd be a star everywhere else. Define your personal style.
I think that I don't have my own style yet. I just like to mix things that I have in my wardrobe ( and my sister's ), but I never buy clothing just because it is in fashion. If I really have to answer this question then it's
androgynous, and its definitely different & independent.

What are your must haves this summer, especially in your climate?
I would love to have a black maxi dress, colorful oversized tank top, short light denim shorts, black overknee socks, puffy skirts, cropped tee and lot's of other stuff. It's actually not very cold in the summer for me in this climate, but if it gets cold, I can would wear blazer with shoulderpads or cropped cardigan.



How would you dress differently for fall?
This is pretty hard, cause it's really cold in Estonia when it's fall. I just try to wear everything colorful instead of grey, brown and the rest!

How do you feel being 13 in the competitive fashion scene? Has anyone put you down because of your age?
Actually I think it's great to start young, but many people on Internet say that I shouldn't waste my childhood and I should enjoy my free time. I guess they don't know that blogging is done during my free time and I really really enjoy it. Some websites also don't accept young people like me and I pretty much hate it.



Name us any of your favorite pieces from STYLESOFIA!
IVY STUD SHOULDER JACKET, PUFFY LACED SKIRT, TULIP SCALLOP SKIRT. Actually there's many more things that I like, but I just choosed three!

So if you're passionate about something, anything - do it! At any age or at any time. We hope this has inspired you!

STYLESOFIA Vintage: Be an urban recycler.

vintage vintage vintage!


Boy we've been occupied! But not occupied enough to stop us from blogging, that's one thing for sure. In our last post we made a small announcement about our recently launched Vintage collection - so we're here today to elaborate!

In addition to sourcing for new cherry-picked pieces for the store, we've decided to launch our Vintage line due to one primary reason. Urban recycling - yes, recycle old / pre-loved / vintage clothing instead of throwing them away!

Here are a few reasons why.

Most fabrics are man made and non biodegradable.
Sadly, we can't just recycle clothing like how we recycle paper. Instead of purchasing mass manufactured clothing and accessories, do your part for the environment by wearing Vintage clothing instead!

Whoops! we have the same dress....
Ah, that's hardly ever going to happen! Most vintage pieces are one-of-a-kind, so you won't have to wonder if your outfit is going to clash with someone else's!

It's eclectic.
Every vintage piece has a story - whether they're from the 50s or 70s. Mix these with the current pieces in your wardrobe to add a little more personality to your style. Also, most pieces weren't mass produced in the past - that means they're mostly more well made than the current clothing being sold at mass outlets. Tailored and tapered to perfection!

It is made for you.
Here at STYLESOFIA, all our Vintage clothing are checked and resized if they happen to be out of proportion. We also offer shortening services, so drop us an email and we'll assist you!


Here are a few of our favorites so far - and we have more coming!





View the rest here.
Happy shopping and DO spread the word!
