What if it rains?

ENG: Hi guys! Here's a little story behind this outfit post...When we first arrived to Croatia back in August, the weather wasn't cooperating with us at all!
I wore this outfit with the intention of going to the beach...I thought the seaside would be a perfect environment for shooting this tribal print dress! But no, the minute we walked outside of the house, the sky became all cloudy. I was like: "Oh, never mind, we can still take good outfit photos, let's just go to the beach!"
But after a couple of minutes it started pouring down rain! We needed a plan C!
This was a random spot we came across in the industrial part/ port of my town. It was covered and protected from the rain, it was unusual, so it was perfect for a quick, little photo session :-)
Afterwards we ended up having coffee with our friends at the local Mall! No shopping was taking place from my side, as Choies had me fully equipped for this summer! I really didn't need anything else besides the sunny weather!
I'm loving this tribal print dress that you can now find on sale for only $ 16.90! I got it in a size M (I like to go for a size up when ordering from asian websites, but this time, a size S would have been a better choice! Anyway, I added a thin, braided, brown belt, that made this dress a bit more flattering as it accentuated my waist line.)

Do you like how I added this Zara necklace to the dress? I feel it almost looks as if it was a part of it! Let me know your opinions!

HR: Pozdrav drustvo! Evo male price vezane uz ovaj outfit post...Kada smo tek stigli u Hrvatsku, prosloga kolovoza, vrijeme bas nije suradjivalo sa nama!
Ovaj outfit obukla sam sa namjerom odlaska na plazu...zamisljala sam kako ce plaza i more biti savrsena sredina za prezentaciju ove ljetne haljinice! Ali stvari bas i nisu isle po planu, jer trenutak kada smo izasli iz kuce, nebo se naoblacilo i smrknulo. Ja sam i dalje navijala za odlazak na plazu, jer oblacno vrijeme nije prepreka nastajanju dobrih fotki, ali, nakon nekoliko minuta, obrusila se kisa koja vise nije imala namjere prestati padati! Bilo je vrijeme za plan C!
Ovu lokaciju pronasli smo na "random", u industrijskoj zoni/ luci moga grada. Mjesto je natkriveno, neobicno, stoga pogodno za jedan brzinski foto session :-)
Na kraju smo zavrsili sa prijateljima na kavi u obliznjem Tower centru. Sa moje strane nije pao nikakav shopping, jer Choies me je velikodusno opremio za ljeto, tako da mi zaista nista osim lijepog vremena nije bilo potrebno!
Obozavam ovu haljinicu etnickog uzorka, a sada je na snizenju mozete naruciti za samo $ 16.90! Ja sam ju narucila u velicini M (kod narucivanja sa azijskih web ducana imam obicaj naruciti velicinu do dvije vecu od one koju inace nosim. No ovoga puta mogla sam komotno naruciti velicinu S, jer haljinica se pokazala dosta velikom. Kako bih ju bolje prilagodila tijelu, ukrasila sam ju sa ovim tankim, smedjim remenom koji mi je istaknuo struk.) 

Da li vam se svidja kako sam dodala ovu Zarinu ogrlicu haljini? Meni se cini da ovako izgleda kao da je ogrlica dio nje! Javite mi vasa misljenja u komentarima!

Dress it Up/ Dress it Down: ONE Outfit TWO Ways!

Hi guys!

In my today's outfit post I'm going to show you how to easily transform your dressy outfit into a more casual (daytime appropriate) version, and you'll still look super chic & trendy!

All you need to do is switch up the shoes!

For the evening out, dressy look, I went for the pair of elegant heels by Clanto (made in Italy). I just love how feminine they are, but at the same time, very easy to walk in!

To quickly transform this outfit into a daytime version, I changed the shoes and went for the pair of studded sneakers (Ottocento, made in Italy).

Clanto shoes
Accessorize clutch
Benetton wristlet

I was debating between two clutches, the golden/bronzed sequin one, from Accessorize, and a smaller one (wristlet) from Benetton.

They both go well with the outfit, so my final choice was as the following photo shows:

Just kiddin'...I think I'd wear the Accessorize one with the heels, and the Benetton one with the sneakers (because the colours match better in these combos!)

The rest of the outfit is basically all H&M (I got the top & the shorts a couple of years ago, and this is still one of my favourite outfit for going out, or if I want to feel very chic for everyday...).

The silver statement necklace is also H&M, and the bracelet is from a local italian store.

No other jewellery needed, as this outfit is already full of beads, studs & sparkly sequins!

For more styling tips, don't miss out on my fashion video:

I hope you liked this outfit! 

In the comments section, let me know how do you transform your dressy outfit for everyday?

I'd like to hear your tips & tricks!

Lijep pozdrav svima!

U danasnjem postu pokazati cu vam kako ja jednostavno i brzo pretvaram outfit za vecernje izlaske, u jednu "casual" varijantu, prigodnu i za svaki dan!

Cipele, cipele, cipele!

Misljenja sam da je izbor obuce presudan po tom pitanju...

Za vecernju varijantu odlucila sam se za zenstvene sandale sa visom petom, talijanskog branda Clanto.

Jako ih volim jer nisu samo sexy, vec i udobne, pa mozete plesati cijelu noc! ;)

Kako bih isti outfit brzo pretvorila u dnevnu verziju (a zadrzala tu trendy, chic notu), odlucila sam se za tenisice talijanskog branda Ottocento (radjene su u Italiji i vrlo kvalitetne!)

Bila sam u maloj dilemi u vezi torbica...koju odabrati?

Na kraju sam se, kao sto mozete vidjeti na jednoj od gornjih slicica, odlucila za obje! :)

haha, ma ne!

Zlatna pismo-torbica (Accessorize) isla je bolje uz vecernju varijantu outfita, dok je mala Benetton torbica vise pasala uz tenisice.

Ostatak outfita je iz H&M-a (ukljucujuci i ogrlicu!).

Narukvica je iz lokalnog ducana u Italiji, a vise od toga, po pitanju nakita i asesoara zaista mi nije bilo potrebno (buduci da je i sam outfit pun perlica i sljokica!).

Nadam se da vam se svidja!

U komentarima mi ostavite vase dojmove i male savjete kako jednostavno pretvarate vasu vecernju varijantu outfita, u dnevnu!

Saljem vam pusu iz Italije do iduceg blog posta! 

www.trenchcollection.com & SonMia Design Fashion Collaboration Announcement!

Hi guys!

Today I'm bringing you one very exciting announcement!

As I mentioned before in one of my previous posts, with the arrival of the Fall season, lots of new fashion projects are awaiting me, and one of those important projects is my collaboration with the young italian fashion brand Son Mia Design.

They're specialized in producing cool & trendy graphic tees, for men and women.

The creative mind behind this brand is Francesco, young graphic designer from the South of Italy, who is putting a lot of hard work, passion and creativity into creating his brand of T-shirts.

I spoke to Francesco several times on the phone, as we were talking about this collaboration, and I liked how passionate he is about his work, and how determined he is to make his dream come true!

All the T-shirts are 100% cotton and Made in Italy, all the models are carefully picked to satisfy the highest quality standards.

I accepted to become a part of this project because I want to give my support to a young brand, and because I feel developing the local production is very important.

Nowdays, pretty much everything is produced in China, and this is definitely one of the reasons our economy is in crisis!

Because of the high costs, it is difficult to maintain the local production, but that's why I want to do all that I can to promote and support Son Mia Design T-shirts!

Son Mia Design T-shirts are available in selected fashion stores in the South of Italy, but if you saw a certain model that you'd like to own, you can contact me at: trenchcollection@libero.it

and Francesco will sell it to you on- line!

His on-line store will be active soon, but until then you can contact me with any question that you might have!

Currently, Son Mia Design offers 6 models of T-shirts for women, and 2 men's models.

Bellow you'll find the pictures of all the T-shirts that are currently available, and a few styling ideas with the T-shirts I picked out for myself! :)

"Ci Vedi" T-shirt

"L'impiccato" T-shirt

"I Can Fly" T-shirt
The same print is available for men // Ista je dostupna i u modelu za muskarce.

"L'eleganza" T-shirt

"Marilyn" T-shirt

"Via col Vento" T-shirt

"The Good The Bad The Ugly" T-shirt
(men's model // linija za muskarce)

Currently there are 6 different models in women's line available // Trenutno su dostupna ova 6 modela iz zenske linije

If you'd like to know more about this collaboration, you can check out my announcement video, here:

Dragi citatelji i citateljice, lijep pozdrav! :)

U danasnjem postu donosim vam najavu jedne uzbudljive modne suradnje koju sam nedavno zapocela sa mladim talijanskim brandom "Son Mia Design".

Kao sto sam vam vec napomenula u par navrata, jesen mi nosi zanimljive projekte vezane uz blog  i zbog toga joj se radujem!

Kreativni um iza Son Mia branda, mladi je graficki dizajner Francesco, sa juga Italije.

Sa njim sam se cula vise puta tijekom dogovora detalja suradnje pa sam ga na taj nacin imala i prilike bolje upoznati i shvatiti da iza ovog branda stoji jedna velika kreativnost, volja i zelja za radom i stvaranjem, i na kraju krajeva, puno strasti i predanosti jednoj ideji, jednom snu!

Prije svega, svidjelo mi se sto je u odabiru modela T-shirta posvecena velika paznja detaljima i kvaliteti, sve majice su 100% pamucne, radjene u Italiji.

U danasnje vrijeme to je nazalost rijetkost, jer lokalna proizvodnja, a s time povezano i sama ekonomija, sve losije stoji i sve se vec proizvodi u Kini!

Stoga sam odlucila dati svoju podrsku u promicanju ovog mladog talijanskog branda, koji ulaze u kvalitetu i dizajn i koji podrzava lokalnu proizvodnju!

Trenutno se Son Mia Design T-shirt mogu nabaviti u odabranim modnim ducanima na jugu Italije, ali Francesco uskoro otvara i svoj on-line web ducan! Do tada, ukoliko vam se posebno svidio koji model i zeljeli biste ga naruciti, mozete se obratiti meni na: trenchcollection@libero.it 

a Francesco ce vam postom isporuciti vasu narudzbu gdje god se vi nalazili! :)

U kolekciji je dostupno 6 razlicitih modela iz zenske linije, i 2 modela za muskarce.

Na slicicama gore mozete vidjeti sve trenutno dostupne modele i nekoliko mojih outfit- ideja kako ih iskombinirati za razlicite prilike.

Uskoro zapocinjem sa outfit postovima i lookbook videima (snimanje je predvidjeno za kraj mjeseca), a do tada nadam se da su vas ove outfit slicice uspijele inspirirati i zainteresirati za brand! ;)

Video prezentaciju moje suradnje sa Son Mia Design mozete na hrvatskom jeziku pogledati ovdje:

Slobodno me kontaktirajte ukoliko ste zainteresirane za T-shirte, ili imate uz njih vezanih pitanja! ♥
