I’m Iskra Banović, editor of Blufashion and the voice behind its fashion, beauty, and lifestyle stories. Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle are my playground, but I'm just as likely to share the messy side of it all, like the time I tested a "must-have" skincare gadget and ended up with glitter stuck in my hair. I love turning trends and everyday finds into something useful (and fun) for real people.

Polka Dot Nails

It struck me before writing this article that I don’t actually know where polka dots come from. I remember the first polka-dotted item I owned, which was a skinny, black, silk scarf with white polka dots, which, in 2004, doubled as trendy neckwear AND as a belt. So versatile. But obviously, polka dots go back way beyond 2004. According to this truly great article at The Hairpin, they go back to the 19th century and have been taken up by style icons as varied as Minnie Mouse, Bob Dylan, and Marvel superhero Polka-Dot Man (idk). To me, polka dots signify femininity…

Reverse Hair Washing

In my lifetime quest to always have shiny, bouncy, fluffy hair, I’ve kissed a lot of frogs. I must have tried over 500 different shampoos, conditioners, and tonics in my short lifetime. I also came this close to slapping down a fat wad of cash to take my follicles to a fancy trichologist. But the thing that has made the biggest difference in my straggly, sticky, stringy blonde hair is also the simplest: water. I rinsed my hair with bottled water one day on a whim and was amazed by the difference. I then installed a special Aquasana filter in my shower and have been pleased with the…

Fine wool Jumpers to be Protected

I have always been amazed by how many people think Lavender Bags are just for decoration. NO – Dried Lavender is used in wardrobes because moths, unlike us, loathe the smell of Lavender. Pretty Lavender Bags look great, too, but the principal use of them is to prevent moths invading and destroying your wardrobe. The fact that using Lavender Bags leaves your wardrobe smelling divine is simply a wonderful added bonus. Why Moths? Moth larvae feed on a protein called keratin. Ceratin occurs in natural fibers, and it’s this protein they look for, and it’s in wool, cashmere, feathers, and…

Lavender Locks

Has anyone else noticed the trend for lavender-colored hair? No longer the preserve of the ‘purple rinse,’ lavender is this season’s most beautiful beauty trend. Chanel embraced the trend at the 2013 Resort wear show. And where Chanel goes, others will follow. Plenty of the big fashion houses sent models down the runway with pretty purple hair, while celebrities such as Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne have both opted for lavender locks this season. It’s a much easier color to carry off than some of the more ‘outrageous’ colors out there, and it goes with most complexions. If you’re getting…

Will Fake Lashes Damage Your Real Lashes?

If you weren’t born with thick eyelashes, you’ve probably tried all the false eyelashes in an attempt to make your natural lashes a millimeter longer. We understand – it can be maddening.

If you have been considering using fake lashes to…

Long Sweater Coat

A long sweater coat is a good investment. It can serve as a light- or medium-weight coat during transitional seasons or be used for most of the winter in temperature climates. A figure-flattering length in this style of sweaters for women must end either at the bottom of the derriere, mid-thigh, or above the knee. 3-Way Mirror Is A Must for Flattering Fit Use a three-way mirror to see which woman’s sweater length flatters you. If you have wide hips that narrow sharply at the knees, wear the sweater coat, so it swings loosely. Do not wrap tightly or belt.…

Help me find a good Casual Clothing

Women’s casual clothing is a wardrobe staple after retirement and is increasingly acceptable in smaller, informal workplaces as relaxed fashion standards become prevalent. On-trend styles include the boyfriend blazer that made its appearance on the fashion scene a few years back and the cropped leather jacket known as the scuba. This is an allusion to the close fit resembling scuba gear. Jackets – Purposes, Fibers, and Styles The most basic categories of jackets are those that are part of one’s ensemble and those that are strictly outerwear. In all but the biggest, most fashion-conscious cities and buttoned-up corporate cultures, styles…
