OOTD: Wide leg jeans & vintage Max Mara sunglasses

 

Hello lovelies!

Today's outfit is cute but casual. I really love the combination of wide leg jeans and trench coat.

It's great outfit for warmer days, I actually wore it this autumn season, and I hope cold winter days will soon be behind us, so we can start wearing more lightweight outfits again!

I got these super cool, wide leg jeans second hand. They're Zara, and I went for my usual size (eu36), but it turned out they're quite oversized (but I made them work anyway, by adding a good quality leather belt-simple, black one, with a lion head- to tie the whole look together.)

Cropped top is from Pull & Bear, it's quite lightweight and I got it ages ago on sales, but it's still in a perfect condition as it hasn't been worn that much! It goes perfectly together with high waisted jeans.

Trench coat is again one piece that I got ages ago, when I first started building my wardrobe. I knew that one of the style basics is a good trench coat, so I got mine from Naf Naf, even before I moved to Italy, in my mid twenties.

Sometimes I feel, is it so relevant to talk about clothes and where did I buy a certain piece?

I feel that I might have grown out of that phase where all I wanted to blog about was fashion and daily outfits and clothes. I still love fashion and I like to dress nice, I enjoy searching for hidden second hand gems, but, but, but...I seem to think writing about my clothes is just so superficial.

That's why I'll bring more diversity to my blog, and start using it more as a daily journal of my thoughts and feelings, rather than just babbling on about clothes.

I also have some interesting ideas about sharing with you old letters and postcards :-) I already started doing something similar on my @sonia_verardo instagram (so check it out if you're a fan of such a content)!

I'll definitely keep posting outfit of the day photos, but I might be writing more about other things, rather than clothes :-) Even though, my main goal is to keep this place positive and light and not get into heavy/dark subjects. I really want to focus on the beauty of this life and on the happiness and wellbeing!

Zaful Ethnic Embroidery Denim Dress

ENG: Hello loves! I'm on my summer vacations and as today the weather isn't treating us well (it's been pouring down rain), we decided to stay at home and chill. I took this opportunity to update my blog and bring you a new outfit post!
This was taken while we were still in Italy. We went on a short walk one Sunday afternoon, close to the Marco Polo airport in Venice.
I wore this lovely denim dress that I ordered at Zaful and it features ethnic embroidery,  which is definitely one of the trends of the season!

HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Evo javljam vam se sa godisnjeg odmora, danas nam vrijeme ne ide u prilog (zahladilo je i pada kisa), tako da smo odlucili ostati doma i samo relax. Iskoristila sam priliku za ovaj mali update na blogu i naravno, za jedan novi blog post!
Ove fotkice nastale su dok smo jos bili u Italiji. Isli smo u kratku setnju jednog nedjeljnog popodneva, bas blizu aerodroma Marco Polo u Veneciji.
Ja sam "prosetala" moju novu denim haljinicu koju sam narucila sa Zaful web ducana, a na sebi ima taj, ove sezone vrlo popularni, etnicki print!

Zovem te krikom, gubim glas...

ENG: I spent the roughest couple of days. This Saturday, my Grandmother almost died. I was driving home from work when I received a phone call from my Mum, telling me what happened. My Grandmother got very sick, all of a sudden, she had a massive heart attack. I felt like my whole world was crumbling down and I wished so badly that what I was hearing wasn't really true!
Sunday, my hubby and I rushed in the hospital to see her. She seemed very weak, but better...but then, she started having another crisis, and we were asked to leave the room.
Her doctor told us that she could die. They're doing everything possible to save her, and she managed to get out of the crisis. But now she's on a slow way to recovery. I'm worrying sick about possible complications (older people take longer to recover, and sometimes they can develop complications...). I tried to keep myself busy by cleaning my house like crazy and doing long walks with my dog. The highlight of this week was when my Granny actually phoned me and I heard her voice being a bit better, not so tired and out of breath as it was a few days ago.

I will be staying in my hometown for some period because I want to stay as close to my Granny as possible and visit her in the hospital every day. She's like a second Mum to me, and although she's almost 84 and have lived a long life, it's never the right time to say goodbye forever to your loved ones. I'm not prepared on loosing her just yet. I know she's a fighter, and has the biggest wish lo live...as she said, at least one more Christmas with us.

I don't know how often will I manage to post during the next week, but I'll try to upload some outfit photos that I already have ready :-) I truly love you all for being here & showing your support!

HR: Prolazim kroz jako tesko razdoblje u mom zivotu. Zadnjih par dana bili su nocna mora. Proslu subotu, dok sam se vozila s posla kasno navecer, dobila sam telefonski poziv od moje mame, u kojem mi je rekla da je mojoj baki jako pozlilo i da su morali zvati hitnu pomoc. Moja baka imala je teski srcani infarkt. Tu noc radili su joj koronarografiju i spasili zivot.
Muz i ja pohitali smo u Rijeku vec iduce jutro, kako bi baku posjetili u bolnici.
Zatekli smo ju u bolnickom krevetu, vrlo slabasnu, ali doimala se bolje. Tijekom nase posjete imala je jos jednu veliku krizu, lijecnici su nas zamolili da napustimo sobu dok su joj ubrzano nastojali pomoci i spasiti zivot. Tada nas je doktor izvjestio da je bakino stanje tesko i da bi mogla umrijeti. Cijeli moj svijet srusio se u tom trenutku. Zeljela sam svim srcem da ovo sto prozivljavam nije stvarnost. Nakon sati neizvjesnosti, baka je ipak izasla iz krize i stanje joj se stabiliziralo.
Sada je pred njom dugi oporavak, kojeg se bojim jer starijim ljudima teze se oporaviti, a moguce su i komplikacije.
Ovih dana, briga me izgrizala iznutra. Nastojala sam se okupirati ciscenjem kuce i setnjama sa psom, ali nista nije pomagalo...

Najsvjetlija tocka tjedna bila je kada me je jucer baka nazvala na mobitel! Cula sam njezin glas, koji je zvucao snaznije i vedrije, na putu oporavka. Poljubila sam telefon nakon razgovora sa njom.

Boraviti cu neko vrijeme u svojem rodnom gradu jer zelim biti sto blize baki i posjecivati je dnevno u bolnici. Ona je za mene druga mama i iako ce ove godine navrsiti 84 godine i prozivjela je svoj zivot, nikada nije pravo vrijeme za pozdraviti se zauvijek sa svojim najmilijima, neovisno o tome koliko oni godina imali. Zivot se okrene u jednom trenutku, a ponekad nismo ni svjesni prolaska vremena i ogranicenosti vremena koje nam je dano da ga prozivimo na ovom svijetu...sve dok se tako nesto alarmantno ne desi. Ja znam da je moja baka snazna zena, borac i da ima veliku zelju za zivotom...rekla nam je da zeli sa nama docekati bar jos jedan Bozic.

Ne znam koliko ce cesto ici outfit postovi u iducih tjedan dana, nastojati cu ipak objaviti par postova koje imam vec pripremljene :-) Volim vas svih!
