5 Summer Dresses I Adore

Hello beauties!

Summer days are meant for going outside, spending time at the beach and just enjoying life! It's very hot and humid these days here in Italy and I know these are the last days of summer :-/ My hubby and I worked a lot this summer and the vacations are already over! But it was truly nice and relaxing family holiday.

Of course, our destination was, as every summer, Croatia, and we also spent some time at our favorite place on this Earth: the island of Rab!

I'll show you my favorite 5 summer dresses that I keep wearing every summer and that I always pack with me, whenever I go to my vacations. Needless to say, I love wearing dresses in summertime! When it's very hot and sunny outside, I can't even bear the thought of wearing pants.

This lovely dress is from Hollister. I got it a couple of years ago (summer 2015. probably), on summer sales. It's very breezy and I love the model and the print. It's ideal for everyday but it can be dressed up, with a pair of heels.

In this photo I'm in the little Croatian seaside town Bakar, and I'm wearing my summer staples: Straw fedora and a little pink bag.

Next dress is a maxi dress and I got it at Fashionmia online store, in a blogger collaboration that we had. I love the color of this dress and the fact that it looks so good both with sneakers, and with heels. When I want to make it a bit more casual, I just pair it with my cropped jean jacket and white All Star sneakers.

Third dress is from H&M and their Conscious line. I bought it a few years ago at their summer sales. I'm in love with the color, print (delicate flowers) and the model. I do love to wear maxi dresses in summer, I think they're so feminine and make you look very chic and sophisticated.

This one I'm particularly fond of also because of the ruffly top part, it just looks so girly and pretty!

Next dress is a white summer dress from H&M. Again, this was bought on summer sales a few years ago, at H&M in Treviso (I was visiting that little Italian town with my friend and we went for a little walk around the centre of the town & a little shopping!).

Summer calls for the color white and I'm a big fan of wearing white. I have more than one white dress in my wardrobe, but this is surely one of my favorites, if not THE favourite!

Last (but not least) is this gorgeous lace red dress by Light In The Box. I had a chance to collaborate with that online store a couple of times, and they always surprised me with some nice gems!

My first collaboration with them was a bit unfortunate, but they really made it up with time, and showed me how much great items they carry at such affordable prices!

Anyhow, this dress is still one of my absolute favorite!

These are just 5 of many dresses that I have and love! I could go on and on, but let's get real: My suitcase has a limited storage space and I do need to optimize it!

This summer, my picks are these 5 beauties!

I hope you like some of the dresses that I showed you! Let me know which one is your favorite?

I'll talk to you soon!

xo from Italy,

OOTD: Black Jumpsuit & Studded Gladiators by Sibba shoes

Today's outfit post features this old, black jumpsuit by H&M, that I've had in my closet for years now, but I haven't worn it very often! This turned out to be great piece to wear during my second trimester of pregnancy, when my bump was starting to get more noticeable and when all I really wanted to wear were comfy clothes! I paired it with my fave Zara denim vest and leather bag, and those Sibba gladiators I already featured in this post! I stored them away now, for the next year, as it's getting colder here in Italy, and these photos were actually taken a few weeks ago!
I also have a fun weekend vlog that we filmed around that period, that is already on my youtube channel, so I'll link it bellow!

Danasnji outfit post vrti se oko ovog crnog H&M kombinezona koji definitivno nije novi komad odjece u mom ormaru! Vec dugo godina ga imam, ali ne nosim ga bas cesto! Ipak, pokazao se idealnim kroz drugo tromjesecje moje trudnoce, kada mi je trbuscic postajao sve zamjetniji, a sve sto sam ja zeljela obuci bila je komotna odjeca! Iskombinirala sam ga uz omiljeni Zara denim prsluk i koznu torbicu od koje se ne odvajam! Gladijatorice su branda Sibba i vec sam vam ih pokazala u ovom outfit postu! Sada su vec spremljene za iducu sezonu, jer u Italiji postaje sve hladnije i hladnije, a ove fotkice smo radili prije par tjedana!
Negdje u isto vrijeme snimila sam i mali vikend vlog koji je vec na kanalu, pa ako vas zanima i zeljni ste malo razbibrige, ostaviti cu vam linkic dolje!

Gearbest Cold Shoulders Dress

ENG: Hi loves! I recently ordered some bits from Gearbest web store and I have to say I'm very happy with my picks. I filmed a fashion haul video where I'm showing you what I got, and this cold shoulder dress is one of the items :-) I rushed to shoot this outfit post with it, whilst we still have a hot, summery weather here in Italy :-)


HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Nedavno sam ostvarila suradnju sa Gearbest web ducanom i iz njihove ponude odabrala par stvarcica :-) O tome sam snimila i haul video, a jedan od predmeta koje sam narucila je i ova lagana haljinica. Iskoristila sam ju za slikanje, dok jos traje toplo vrijeme :-)

BAREFOOT & PREGNANT (17 weeks)

ENG: Hi guys! In case you missed the announcement video I made on my youtube channel, yes, I'm pregnant! I haven't officially blogged about it yet, so we should consider this post to be the one delivering you the big news! I talked a lot about it in my announcement video and shared all my private thoughts, emotions and fears, so I'll link it down bellow in case you're interested to know more about this new life's journey of mine! I'm sure I'll want to blog more about this topic, but not today. Today's post is going to be of a more superficial matter, showing you my 17 weeks bikini body and sharing with you some of the last vacation photos of this past summer!

It's the time to say goodbye to summer 2016. It was a good one! And, the one to remember, because of my pregnancy and this new changes and emotions I was experiencing! I also put together a quick lookbook video as a reminder to be grateful of the relaxing moments that I was lucky to have during my early weeks of pregnancy, feeling good and just enjoying the sun & the life, soaking in every minute of every single day, living in the moment but thinking about what's ahead of me...making my peace with the changes happening to my body and embracing this journey of life! I hope you enjoy watching :-)


HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Ako ste propustili moju video objavu...da, trudna sam! Nisam se jos sluzbeno dotakla te teme ovdje na blogu, tako da mozemo smatrati ovaj post kao objavu ove velike novosti! Puno sam o svojoj trudnoci pricala u video objavi: Od najintimnijih misli, strahova, emocija, tako da, ukoliko vas ova tema vise interesira, dolje cu vam ostaviti video pa ga mozete pogledati.
Svakako ce biti jos bloganja na ovu temu, ali danasnji post ipak bih zadrzala na malo povrsnijoj temi i usredotocila se na outfit (bikini) post. Ovdje sam bila 17 tjedana trudna i iako se primjeti da mi trbuh nije vise ravan kao inace, ne nazire se jos onaj pravi trudnicki trbuscic (on je nekako "preko noci" narastao izmedju 20. i 21. tjedna!).
Ovo su ujedno i jedni od zadnjih postova sa godisnjeg odmora!

Vrijeme je da se pozdravimo sa ljetom 2016. Bilo je to dobro ljeto! Ljeto za pamcenje, zbog moje trudnoce i svih tih novih promijena i osjecaja kroz koje sam prolazila! Za vas sam slozila i mali lookbook video koji meni sluzi kao podsjetnik na lijepe suncane dane i opustajuce trenutke koje sam provodila na plazi. Podsjetnik da budem zahvalna sto sam se fizicki dobro osjecala i sto su prvi mjeseci trudnoce lagano protekli. Zivim u trenutku i idem kroz ovu avanturu korak po korak, ali neminovno razmisljajuci i o onome velikome sto me ocekuje... Zelim prozivjeti punim plucima ovu avanturu zvanu zivot!

eto...od povrsnog posta ispala filozofija ;-))
