Convinced optimist. Curious by nature. A journalist by profession (though she often thinks she's got the wrong job). A multitasker, a Google master. An incorrigible lover of print who sinfully enjoys a hot digital affair. She's been in the world of lifestyle magazines for almost two decades, from L\u2019Officiel, through Elle and Buro, to her current position as the editor-in-chief of the print edition of Marie Claire magazine. She's never managed to do just one job at a time and persistently juggles tasks and hobbies, creating a life origami that only she understands. She travels so much that her neighbours suspect she's a flight attendant. Friends call her for travel recommendations, and for cities she's never even been to. Her mission? To make everything (the world) around her beautiful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Honestly, it was only a few years ago that I truly realised the extent to which shoes define me, and how important (how important!) that category is to me. Footwear is my way of truly staying grounded, even on a thin stiletto. But, I never really thought about it, it's just something like breathing, it's there and it's good, let's move on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My earliest memories are of fashion; I could describe my favourite white cardigan in stitches (very un-white when my parents resignedly threw it away while I sulked in the corner), a checked dress with a Peter Pan collar and red pear-shaped buttons, metallic leggings with a pink print of electric palm trees, and even the two-piece with a white shirt and a melange mini-skirt that I wore for my fourth birthday. And then, oh, I could go on and on about them... about the most perfect pair of shoes that ever appeared in my life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Flat sandals, peep-toe cut, a tiny bow above, the softest pale green colour, a light texture that's only visible if you really look closely, an adjustable strap around the heel with a silver buckle. A pair of shoes you can easily imagine on a girl dressed in a chic dress, ready to conquer the world. But I wasn't even five years old then, yet I was determined to move mountains for that pair. Let's just say I cried inconsolably on the cold shop floor until the sheer embarrassment forced my mother to hand over her purse and pack them into a bag. And indeed, I wore them until they completely fell apart.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Fast forward, it's 2010. My head is restless, full of ideas, I'm in a general frenzy to launch a blog, my fingers are itching, I'm going round in circles trying to find a name and dive into coding about which I know nothing (P.S. Karaka\u0161 blog 2.0 is coming very, very soon). And then \u2013 bam! \u201eWhoever doesn't like shoes, doesn't like people.\u201c The funniest thing is that I almost never wrote about shoes on the blog. Which didn't stop me from buying absolutely every pair that caught my eye. It seems that until 2015, I didn't even own a pair of trainers \u2013 what I wouldn't give now for that willingness to battle the Belgrade cobblestones on a stable six-inch heel in pointed orange patent leather, while rushing from one obligation to another.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, you see me in casual trainers much more often now, but that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019ve had a lobotomy. I still buy shoes with undiminished enthusiasm, with great joy and zero guilt, with a practiced flick of the wrist, I present my card. But now, purely for fun, I choose them like a mad magpie, I pick the shiniest, the most special, with crystals, feathers, in colour, striped, houndstooth, with sequins. And I wear each one as if it\u2019s the most normal thing in the world to stroll to a restaurant at midday, deflecting sunbeams like a disco ball along the way. I\u2019m pretty sure the pointed-toe heeled mules I wear repeatedly and persistently are actually from the bridal collection. I don\u2019t play by the rules.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When everything is ordinary, perhaps even a bit rubbish, that's exactly when it happens! I open my shoe rack and add purple glitter to my feet, and immediately everything is better.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
