Whats fashionable may not necessarily be stylish. I believe that anything trendy or fashionable needs to be styled well to give an individual a look that stands apart. Keeping this in mind, today we talk about my favourite street style icon,Miroslava Duma.
Also known as Mira by her close associates, 28 year old Miroslava is daughter of Vasilay Duma, a Russian senator. A style icon, a model and an entrepreneur, Miroslava is a name to reckon with in the global fashion industry.

What makes Miroslava my personal favourite? Miroslava interests me mainly for her pint sized frame (a serious similarity with me). Her style inspires me and and convinces me further that size has nothing to do with the way one carries off fashion. Her signature style is a brilliant combination of classic and chic with hints of quirkiness ( I am a big fan of quirky fun styles) that adds this edge to her personality. She chooses an eclectic mix in her clothes and accessories and the confidence she exudes while she does this, makes her a real trend setter.

But this style icon has more than just beauty and fashion sense. Miroslava is the ex editor of Harpers Bazaar Russia and now runs a website called Buro 24/7. For a young girl, Duma has achieved unforeseen heights in the Russian and global fashion scene. At the same time, her entrepreneurial ventures have yielded great recognition as well.

Choosing some of my favourite styles from this Russian “it girl” was a tough deal as she exudes style in more or less anything she adorns,but luckily I managed to put together some of this fashionistas chic and classy style quo.
My next big challenge was to gather some of these styles and create that perfect Duma look. So I scouted designers, stores and the flea market to find out clothes, accessories and shoes for that perfect petite chic look.
