Summer outfits vol.10: It's not about the outfit, it's about the hair!

 

Hello lovelies!

Even though summer seems to be long gone by now, I still wanted to continue this little recap of my fave summer looks of 2022.

I like this denim jumpsuit that I bought a couple of years ago at H&M, because it's very easy to style and it always looks up to date :-)

I'm thinking of paying a visit to my hairdresser soon, I'd like to add some blonde highlights but I want it to be professionally done and look good. I'm a bit fed up with being my own hairdresser and I feel like I want to spoil myself a little bit, like I used to :-)

This was a very quick to style and simple look for catching up with some friends for a couple of drinks (and by "drinks", I mean water, or tea at most, lol!)

Outfit details:

Denim jumpsuit: H&M

Hermes like leather sandals: Style Lab (second hand, but brand new)

Coral necklace: Vintage, my Mum´s

Sunglasses: Pepco

Backpack: Guess

Let me know how do you like this look?

Do you have any good hair care tips?

I'll talk to you soon!

Summer outfits vol. 8: Coastal walk

 

Hello lovelies!

Here are some photos from the beautiful coastal walk Volosko- Opatija, and I'm so lucky to have all this beauty right in front of my nose :-)

We often go for walks here, being close to the sea is wonderful, all year round!

I wore this cute little outfit that I put together from some second hand finds, and from some vintage stuff of my own.

I bought these Max Mara sunglasses when I was still in high school, and they were my first designer sunglasses :-) I recently discovered them in my old closet at my Mum's place! I was so excited to realize that I still have them! I was pretty sure I no longer own them!

Sometimes discovering some old and "forgotten" faves is better than shopping for new items!

Outfit details:

Sunglasses: Vintage Max Mara

Blose: Second hand

Jeans: Sinsay

Leather bag: Second hand

Sneakers: Adidas Stan Smith

And what about my hair colour? Well, I just touched up my roots with L'Oreal box hair dye Creme Excellence Cool Blondes in 7.11

I filmed a review video and you can check it out here:

I think it's a good colour for touching up the roots and if you're going for that dark, natural blonde.

I'll try not to colour my hair during the whole of September and then go to my hairdresser in October, to get some highlights (as my hair is getting quite dark, so I feel like I'm ready to bring the blondie in me back!)

You can check out more daily outfit inspo on my instagram :-)

I'll talk to you soon, have a nice day :-)

Summer outfits vol.5: Second hand fashion

 

U pokretu 👋 A sad idem malo filozofirati o outfitu: Sve na meni je second hand (osim ovih ludih naočala koje sam “ulovila” prije puno godina na sniženjima). Traperice su jos malo pa pravi vintage komad, pronašla sam ga u second handu u Londonu, davne 2005., gdje sam i radila kao volonter. Bile su još nove sa etiketom i bile su mi tada prevelike (ah, gdje je sada taj struk?), ali sam ih svejedno uzela jer je to bila ljubav na prvi pogled (i bile su nevjerojatno jeftine)! Da, “osviještena moda”, ili kako ćemo ju zvati, u zadnjih par godina postala je pravi trend, ali moja ljubav prema second handu nije površni trend već datira još iz dvijetisucitih kada sam zivjela u Londonu i tamo otkrila “čari” second hand ducana…Dok je još kod nas second hand bio neka vrsta “tabua”, koji je asocirao na Caritas, ratne godine i neimaštinu. Drago mi je da je danas second hand postao popularan, jer realno, cijene su u dućanima prenapuhane i kome uopće trebaju nove kolekcije svaka dva tjedna?? Topic, torbicu i sandalice su sa Mojih krpica, odličnog mjesta za povoljan second hand shopping, gdje i sama imam svoj dućančić gdje trenutno do kraja mjeseca ide super akcija, pa obavezno bacite pogled 😉 Ukoliko želite, pokažite mi sto vi danas nosite, dovoljno je da me tagirate i vidjeti ću vas outfit 😉

Hello guys!

Here is one photo session "in the movement". I find, lately, that those kind of photos are quicker to take and also they turn out better than when you actually pose.

I'm wearing all second hand here, except for the old Zara sunglasses that I bought on sales in Italy. 

I fell in love with second hand fashion long before it even became a "trend"! I volunteered in a charity shop in London, West Ealing, back in 2005. and I still to this date have some great pieces of clothing from that store, such as these Replay jeans that I wear here in these pics!

When I bought them, they were brand new, with a tag still on, and they were a bit too big on me! But I was so happy that I found such popular and great quality brand of jeans, for just a couple of pounds, I didn't even mind that they were a bit too wide. Now they're a perfect a fit, which makes me wonder, did I have such a small waist back then, huh? Also, back then low waist jeans were more popular, and everybody wore skinny models, whereas these, as you can see, are high waisted and wider model (super popular now, almost 20 years later!).

I'm also selling a lot of my clothes at a local Croatian website, where I have set up my little closet. If you know some good on line stores where I could sell internationally, let me know! Is depop still the most popular? I'm also a bit hesitant because I don't know if the shipping costs are too high, I mean, is it worth it? I have to inform myself a bit more about it!

I'd love to give it a shot, so all my blog readers and international audience could get something from my closet :-)

Your ideas and suggestions are very much welcomed!

Outfit details:

Top: Zara (second hand)

Jeans: Replay (second hand, from Pdsa charity shop in West Ealing)

Leather sandals: Next (second hand)

Bag: Mango (second hand)

Sunglasses: Zara

Necklace: from the early 2000's, bought from local street musicians from Latin America

I'll talk to you soon guys! I'm going to start sharing very soon other topics on my blog, to bring back a bit of diversity, such as wish lists, beauty product reviews, and also about old post cards (which I'm already posting on my instagram so take a look!)

Elegant prom dresses for every shape & size

Hello guys!

In this post I'm going to share with you some style inspiration for when it comes to picking the right dress for your special occasion, birthday party or a prom.
Prom is, we all know, one of the very important events in a young girl's life. It's definitely an event to remember forever and every girl wants to keep it in the best memory.
It should be a very fun day, filled with happiness, joy, cheerfulness and youth!
That's why every girl needs the right dress to shine like a star and to truly feel that way :-)

Millybridal is the site I always turn to when I need to be inspired for special occasions wear.
They specialize in selling beautiful, elegant, princess like dresses, for all the special occasions, for every shape & size, making sure to satisfy all tastes.

Here are a few of my current faves from their vast selection:

This Lace V-neck Trumpet/ Mermaid Sweep Train Beading Prom Dress will definitely make you look like a princess and make you feel in the spotlight!
It comes in a variety of different colour options, but I personally love this powdery pink/ blush colour and I find it works really well for pale skin tones. 

Next dress that I feel is extremely pretty, for all those romantic souls, is this Lace Tulle V-neck Princess Tea- length Appliques Lace Prom Dress.
How gorgeous are the floral appliques? This detail makes the dress so special. Tulle is definitely my cup of tea, and this particular dress you can even wear as a skirt, and for those casual days, if you put a cool print sweatshirt of top, and pair it with flats or sneakers. Having troubles picturing it? Try it out for yourself! I have a similar tulle dress and I wore it for special occasions, but even for those casual days.

More Prom Dresses 2018 are waiting to be discovered by you at Millybridal, so take a look :-)

As I've mentioned, it doesn't matter what body size or shape are you, there is the right dress for you.

If you're a plus size, or bottom, or top heavier, normally you might have hard time finding the clothes that fits perfectly and flatter you. But here I found a very big choice of different models, fabrics, colors...look at a few example that I think you might like from Plus Size Prom dresses collection:

This Sexy Sheath/Column Scoop Neck Lace Ruffles Floor-length Black Long Sleeve Plus Size Prom dress is elegant, timeless, sophisticated, and black color will certainly make your figure slimmer.

Ok, so you're a plus size, and black is always a safe choice. But that doesn't mean that bright colors won't work for you and that you have to stay away from it. Red, the color of passion is great for this Lace V-neck Trumpet/Mermaid Sweep Train with Beading Prom Dress.

You'll definitely feel fab and very feminine in such a dress.

I hope this article inspired you! Let me know which dress would you wear to a prom?
