A new day has come...



ENG: Hello guys! This may be the last post in 2015. and I decided this year I'm not going to do the "Best of", or "Fashion Recap" posts, at least not today...if you'd like to see some of my favourite outfits this year, I may do this post someday during the next week...
Often I hear how fashion posts shouldn't be too wordy, and that most people skip through the text anyway...Hearing this always makes me feel a tad bit sad...I like to be wordy! I like to express myself with words, rather than just with clothes! This is my blog, my space, and honestly, I don't want to follow the "rules" and make it a commercial blog! I want to keep it as a reflection of the way I am. 
I started my blog in 2010. with a genuine passion, and because it's still "mine", I feel the same passion about blogging today, almost 6 years later!
I like to think that people who really like my blog, like to read what I have to say here!
I'm against superficiality in this society, against consumism, and I love giving new life and a new value to old things.
When I was in Rijeka, I visited Vintage Getaway store, and picked out this gorgeous, vintage sweater. It's a wool, mohair sweater, very cozy and warm, and the quality is superior, as it comes from a different times, when things were made to last!
This outfit reminds me a lot of my high school days, in the mid-late '90.-ies! This was pretty much how I used to dress :-) And, this coastal walk of Opatija- Ika, is one of the places where I was growing up. A new day has come, but I'm still my old self, a genuine dreamer...

HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Ovo ce vjerojatno biti zadnji post u 2015., a odlucila sam da na danasnji dan necu raditi "The Best of", ili "Fashion Recap" postove...Ukoliko biste zeljeli vidjeti sazetak mojih najboljih outfita iz 2015., takav post mogu vam pripremiti jedan dan iduceg tjedna!
Cesto mi se desi da cujem kako modni postovi ne bi trebali imati previse teksta, jer ljudi koji posjecuju takve blogove uglavnom preskoce tekst! To me uvijek ucini malo tuznom, jer ja volim biti rijecita! Volim se izrazavati kroz pisanje, a ne samo kroz oblacenje! Ovo je moj blog, moj prostor i iskreno, ne zelim pratiti neka "pravila" i "standarde" kako bi on postao komercijalan! Zelim ga zadrzati ovakvim kakav je: Odraz mene i moje osobnosti. Zelim vam kroz njega predociti moj svijet i moje iskrene emocije i razmisljanja. Blog sam otvorila 2010. god. sa jednom velikom strasti i zeljom, a bas zbog toga sto je kroz sve ove godine ostao "moj", i dan danas, skoro 6 godina kasnije, pisem ovaj tekst sa jednakim poletom kao i prvi dan.
Zelim misliti da ljudi koji zaista vole moj blog, rado citaju i moje tekstove i da su zainteresirani za ono sto imam za reci!
Ja sam protiv povrsnosti mode, protiv konzumizma i volim davati jedan "novi zivot" starim stvarima.
Kada sam bila u Rijeci, posjetila sam "Vintage Getaway" ducan i izabrala sam si iz njihove bogate ponude jednu prekrasnu vintage vunenu majicu.
Majica je moher i vrlo topla i udobna, a kvaliteta je superiorna jer dolazi iz nekih drugih vremena, kada su se stvari radile kako bi trajale.
Ovaj outfit podsjeca me na moje srednjoskolske dane, polovice, do kasnih devedesetih. Ovo je bio moj stil, vise-manje tako sam se nekako oblacila. A ovo lungo mare Opatija- Ika, je gdje sam odrastala. Novi dan je stigao, a ja sam jos uvijek ona stara svoja, iskrena sanjalica...

Vintage Getaway



ENG: During my last trip to Croatia, my blog went to visit and interview the owner of "Vintage Getaway" second hand shop, that is situated in the shopping mall "Robna kuca Rijeka" on the 4th floor.
I first spotted this shop a few months ago, I had some time free before meeting up with my friend, so I went to take a little tour of the shopping mall...I haven't been there in ages, since I don't live in Rijeka anymore, so I was curious to see if there are any new shops that opened recently. This shopping mall used to be my favourite place to shop, when I was in my early twenties and still living at home! 

At the fourth floor, there was a shop that caught my attention, with its unique offer and very colorful shopping window! As I love bright colours, I was immediately attracted to it.
I'm a big fan of vintage and second hand clothes, ever since I lived in London, as this is where I discovered the whole world of thrifting! I even volunteered at my local Pdsa shop in W. Ealing!

The shop owner, Tjasa, appeared to be very nice person with sweet personality so immediately I introduced myself and my blog to her and asked if she'd be willing to present her store to my viewers and blog readers!
Luckily, she seemed to be very enthusiastic about this idea, so the next time I was in town, I went straight to that shopping mall, to the "Vintage Getaway" shop :-)

The afternoon we spent together was very fun...we talked about fashion and trends, vintage clothing and how back in the days everything was better quality and made to last...Then we styled some outfits out of the clothes she currently has in her store's offer!

Clothes, footwear, accessories and home decor stuff that you can find in "Vintage Getaway" are all very unique and colorful, pieces are made with good quality materials and everything is carefully selected by Tjasa and her husband.
If you want to see what the store currently has in their offer, go to their facebook page!


HR: Prilikom zadnjeg posjeta Hrvatskoj, posjetila sam "Vintage Getaway" ducan rabljene robe, koji je smjesten na 4.katu Robne kuce "Ri".
Za vas sam napravila mali intervju sa simpaticnom vlasnicom Tjasom i zajedno smo vam predstavile sto ducan trenutno ima u ponudi!
Ovaj vintage ducan zapazila sam prije par mjeseci, kada sam imala nesto slobodnog vremena prije sastanka sa prijateljicom, pa sam odlucila prosetati  Robnom kucom "Ri".
Sastanak sa prijateljicom bio je na Korzu, a kako je vani bilo hladno, odlucila sam napraviti djir po robnoj kuci i pogledati koji su se novi ducani otvorili i sto se promijenilo od kada vise ne zivim u Rijeci.
U ranim dvadesetima, dok sam jos zivjela doma sa svojima, Robna kuca "Ri" bila je moja omiljena shopping destinacija! Sada tamo vec nisam bila jako dugo, tako da sam bila bas znatizeljna vidjeti sto ima novoga i sto nam ducani nude!

Na cetvrtom katu Robne kuce, ugodno me iznenadila originalna ponuda ducana "Vintage Getaway" i njegov vrlo saren izlog! Buduci da ja jako volim boje, odmah sam bila zainteresirana uci u ducan i razgledati bolje njegovu ponudu!
U ducanu  me je docekala simpaticna i nasmijana vlasnica Tjasa sa kojom sam odmah zapocela ugodan razgovor! Tada se i rodila ideja da njezin ducan predstavimo na mom blogu! Meni je jako drago sto je ona sa puno entuzijazma prihvatila moju ponudu, tako da, iduci puta kada sam boravila u Rijeci, zaputila sam se ravno do "Vintage Getaway-a", kako bi snimili za vas video prilog i predstavili vam poblize Tjasu i njezinu strast prema vintage odjeci i obuci!
I ja sama obozavam vintage i second hand stvari! Ljubav prema rabljenoj odjeci rodila se dok sam jos zivjela u Londonu. Tada sam i volontirala u lokalnom ducanu rabljene robe Pdsa, u mjestu W. Ealing!

Popodne koje smo provele zajedno snimajuci proteklo je bas ugodno! Uz razgovor o modi, novim trendovima (i starim trendovima, koji se sada vracaju!), osmislile smo par zanimljivih outfita, koje cemo vam ovdje i predstaviti. Zakljucile smo da je nekada odjeca bila puno kvalitetnija, radjena da traje, dok je danas nazalost, vecina stvari samo "potrosna roba"!

Sve stvari koje mozete naci u "Vintage Getaway" ducanu, od odjece, nakita do home decora, unikatne su i odlicne kvalitete, pazljivo birane od strane Tjase i njezinog muza. Cjelokupnu ponudu ducana mozete pogledati na njihovoj facebook stranici, a i naruciti, ukoliko vam se nesto posebno svidi, jer sve artikle salju preporuceno postom po cijeloj Hrvatskoj!
