What makes a woman beautiful?

Beauty has a psychology, just as every invisible concept we cannot clearly define. We all assume that a beautiful woman has great job, amazing earnings, cool friends, date every night, get the guy she wants and all doors open easily for her.  She has positive feedback from her environment and sees herself beautiful get more smiles and handsome lovers. Beauty is something we all want and if we feel beautiful it is something we would like to enhance and preserve.

What is beauty and what makes a woman beautiful? Symmetry, natural look, self-confidence and self-esteem… and what else?

I have just finished The Little Black Book of Style by Nina Garcia: I am keen to learn from experts. Nina Garcia, one of the judges in the show Project Runway and the Fashion Director at Marie Claire. She approaches style through projecting confidence, which tells you to respect yourself  and dress up for yourself.  A further valuable message in the book was how to embrace your imperfections and how to turn them into your greatest strengths.

This book was with me when a great photographer and teacher Gergely Siményi took some photos of me at Cafe Smúz, near the Parliament in Budapest, Hungary. The whole photo shoot was such an uplifting experience that my eyes were smiling even in the serious photos.

The outfit expressed what I have learnt from the book I think. Brown seems to be a simple choice; these shiny metallic textured pants are easy to care for and lead to a skinny look. Adding a classy white blazer with a white top, the brownish color starts to come alive. The jewels on the heels enrich and balance the outfit. There is nothing complicated or contrived in the outfit, there is no drama in it.
