Stardust and roses

Tempted by the wild side

2012-02-24T22:06:00.001+01:00

Throw the dice. Pull out a card. You never know what you are going to get.Sometimes life feels exactly like that. But we are all secretly addicted to the excitement of it. Walking on that thin border of the wild side makes us feel alive and If you are somebody like me, getting caught up in routine is something you will always run away from. For a girl who is in love with the world there is never enough new things to try or explore. She walks hand in hand with fear and faith, heading toward all the chances the world can give her.

Sometimes I wish I was living a lifestyle like you see in some of the great casino movies. Where I'd sometimes have to throw away my own identity, live a little more dangerously, party till the break of dawn and maybe lose all my money but have the best time of my life. Something I would look back to and know that I made the most of the only life I have.

I can almost imagine a scene when I walk in the Vegas casino in a little black dress and make my way in to the crowd.Smell of the cigar smoke filling the room, men in ties and Armani suits, holding a glass of scotch in one hand and throwing dices with another. Yep, that's just the way I imagine it, and It's definitely something to keep in mind. Well I can't go to Vegas can I, because Milan awaits me tomorrow, but hey I can always visit an online casino I have a sudden itch right. :)

Just kidding. All I wanted to say is, that it's good to live by chance sometimes. It's good to live a little.

Have a lovely time dolls, and stay tuned for my Milan photo diary once the weekend is over,

Cheers,

I love how days are getting less hostile each day and finnally I am able to take long walks in the sunny weather. As you have probably noticed I am a really outdoors type of girl. I love going to the city, seaside, wilderness and of course on trips around the world. That's why I am super excited about my weekend in Milan. I'm going there just in the middle of fashion week, how fun is that? :)

I don't know why I started doing this but I just love to dress up in my dad's old big plaid shirts.I like how they don't fit me at all and I have to tighten everything with my belt :) I find them super comfy when I have days when I feel like dressing up a little bit more casual.

Now that spring is almost knocking at our doors I finally feel like waking up from my "polar bear lazy kind of mood". My school has just started ( In fact I should be animating something right now istead of writing this haha),I have a job interview tomorrow and my blog is starting to give me some great opportunities so I just have to grab them with both hands right :)!? I hope you Like the photos dolls.

Peekaboo!

So you probably heard a thousand times already, but yea "Google friend connect" is really going down on March 1. Sad but true.Thank God Bloglovin is still alive. Could you imagine going trough your bookmarks every single day not knowing if the person even posted anything. That would be such a waste of time, I would probably shut down my blog and go cry in the corner of my room. Just joking.

(WEARING Leggings: Zara, Shoes: Nelly, Coat: Dorothy Perkins, Bag: DKNY, Top and Cardigan: H&M)

However what I wanted to say to you guys, If you like my blog and don't want to miss out on my new posts, I would highly recommend that you follow me with Bloglovin or Facebook. I would really appreciate if you would give me a thumbs up, because I would honestly love to have at least 200 likes till the end of February. :) So be sweet and help me out a little bit! :) It's just a click really!

Thank you for all the support lovelies, I love you so so much!

This morning a package from Nelly came for me and it totally made my day. I ordered these beauties last week and it was the first time I was actually ordering shoes online. I was a little skeptic, I confess, because you can never know how shoe is going to fit you when you try it on at home. But these babies, oh they fit. Perfectly. Love them!! I can't wait to wear them, hell yea!

It's always fun to read posts on February 13th. I don't know why but people always get caught in the pre-Valentine's day massive depression. My Facebook is like drowning in "Forever alone" and "I hate Valentine's day" comments. It's kind of funny really, since it should be the day of love or whatever. For me it's just another Tuesday, but I'm not going around saying "Man I'm shooting cupid in the ass this time for sure", even though he did miss a couple of times in my life. Why feeling sad people? Being single is sometimes better than being with someone who isn't right for you. I'm realizing that more and more each day!

Personally I think we don't need a day to remind us to tell somebody we love them. If you really love them show them that every day with little things, but hell it's always nice to get a gift from somebody who cares for you :). If you're single and don't like it, don't go searching for the one, sometimes mr. right is right behind you... and he can't catch you if your constantly running away. Love comes when you least expect it and trust me I know. It happened to me twice in a row now and both times I was like "I don't want no more boy drama" at the beginning. But usually, something beautiful happens when you're not expecting it at all. It's a fact.

So don't feel sorry for yourself if you are single. Love yourself. Love your family, your friends. All kinds of relationships are important, not just that romantic ones. Open yourself up to love and eventually it will find you and that's what I'll always believe in! After my break up that's exactly what I did, instead of building a wall around myself and it worked like a magic trick. Now I'm happier and smiling all the time.

So single people, I'm holding my deuces up for you! And for all the lucky couples out there, stay in love!

Kisses,

Guess who came out of it's bear cave. It's meeee! Did you miss me? I was finally lured outside by snow itself. The snowflakes falling down, completely covering the ground, were just so pretty I couldnt resist. If I love something about winter, it's that feeling when you can run into that big pile of untouched snow without a care in the world!

That's that moment when my inner child comes out. I forget about the freezing cold and how much I actually want spring to hurry up, and just enjoy in my own little winter wonderland! If you are not my friend, be grateful. Because they will be in the middle of snowball fighting sooner or later.

(To my lovely friends;Take that as a warning. Go run and hide now, I'm coming to get ya. You can't say I didn't warn you this time!)

Even though I wasn't that good in layering at the beginning of the winter I must say I'm getting the hang of it now. How do you know you layered something well? People will always ask you all the time "Damn aren't you a bit under dressed for winter?It's freezing!" If only they would know how much I actually have on! I just smartly hide it and voila no cold can get to you. Works like magic!

I was thinking of doing a "Style it like me" post about layering clothes. I can show you how I do it, if you want. It's pretty easy really. Anyway let me know!! Throwing a big frozen kiss and a snowball at ya all!

Hey guys :) Since I was getting a lot of requests on my mail, to show some baby pictures of me, I finally decided to do a post about it :) "Hell, why not? It should be a lot of fun" I thought, when I pulled a dusted box full of pictures from under my bed. I laughed as I went trough them so hard, that I actually cried. I was always that "Look at me, me, me!!" child and I did everything in my power that I was in the middle of attention all the time. You can see it trough the pictures and you can see it on the old videotapes. Gosh those are hilarious, my relatives always ask to watch them because I'm doing all sort of stupid funny things to get noticed. Oh well, you can't see those, but I did a little collage of my photos.I figured it's more fun if I mix funny and cute ones together :)! That way you can see all sides of me!

Oh yea one more thing. If you want me to do some posts on my blog that are not my "usual" ones, you can always request it on my mail (find it on the right sidebar). I will try to do them all, but I can't promise you how fast. Sometimes I get this ideas about how I want it to be done, but I'm never satisfied with the outcome. So it takes a little longer.I still have to upload the Q&A post,"My favourite Ljubljana spots" post and "Style it like I do" post, so stay tuned for that, but be patient too :). I hate that I'm such a perfectionist at the things that I love doing. :) Anyway I hope you liked my childhood pictures. I can't stop laughing at me dressed in that clown costume! LOL

XOXO,

3 things that made my week

2012-02-05T20:13:00.004+01:00

Since it's cold like in Siberia this week, I'm really sorry for the lack of outfit posts. I wouldn't risk someone's fingers just to get my pictures snapped outside, so I decided I'm going to start doing this little posts by the end of every week, with some cute pictures of what I was doing ,or what inspired me through the day. Sounds fun? It does to me, so here I goOoOOOo :)

1) WARM KNITS

You just gotta love them, they are saving my ass these days. I'd become a frozen statue without them. Then the Ice queen herself could use me as a decoration for her icy castle and I'd have to stay there till spring. Not a bad idea though,huh? I'd melt with the warm sun rays and I wouldn't remember winter at all. Hold on a sec, I'm just going to sit in my refrigerator for a while, just to see if it works ;) Just kidding, they say love keeps us warm, it's true...but at this cold weather, at least 3 blankets to wrap yourself in + warm tea by your side, should do the trick :)

2) DVD RESURRECTION I cleaned my room the other day, and guess what I found. My old DVD player. I still remember how I bought it for myself after finishing my junior class and had amazing party trip to Greece.That summer I became totally obsessed with "THE HILLS" and I just had to watch it all the time, even when I was on the seaside. I thought it had died completely because of my constant abuse, but I tried to turn it on and it has come back to life somehow..."It's aliiiiive!" And guess what? "The Hills" DVD was still in so now I'm like watching it all over again. I just can't get out of my skin can I?

3) UNEXPECTED GIFT

I have received a late birthday gift from a friend who is very dear to me, and it left me speechless. When I unwrapped the present my breath was literally taken away. There it was a DKNY silver watch. I still don't know how to thank this person enough, because I'm not really sure I even deserve it. To be honest I really really love it and It even brought some tears in my eyes. Not just because of the gift, I just couldn't stop wondering: how much you must mean to one person that even considers buying you a gift that expensive? It hasn't left my wrist since, I only take it off when I go to sleep. It's nice to know this person cares for me, after all that we've been trough.

I really hope I can find someone who will be willing to take pictures in this cold, cuddle up lovelies and stay warm till my next post. Kisses!

I just loooooove those days when my online purchases get delivered..Even though today I received just a small package from Asos, it totally made me a little happier.I almost ran to the post, of course I couldn't wait to open it as usual, and partially because the weather turned so freaking cold here! I almost freezed in the middle of the street because of the wind and I'm hardly ever cold in winter

(Because my fatness keeps me warm all the time :D haha just kidding! I just couldn't let that one go.)

I love this cuff trend that has been going on for a while now and I'm on the hunt for the perfect gold ones, but I seem to love little bracelets more and more each day.What do you think?To me they are both adorable, simple,tiny,but still have this cute details that catch your eye :) I have to stop spying around online stores for new stuff now...I really need to start saving for my Milan trip,oh the PAIN!

Today I'm in such lazy mood, I can't even come up with anything to write :) I just want to cook myself a delicious dinner, watch a movie and drink some warm milk with couple of Oreo cookies. Om nom nom. I swear I'm transforming into a huge lazy polar bear. I feel like sleeping trough the rest of this winter, but everytime the thought like that crosses my mind,I have to remind myself that I'm going to be old in 50 years and I'll have enough time for resting then. I have to enjoy everything now when it's right in front of me and in my reach. I can't just sit on my couch and eat Oreos while Friday night passes me by, without any new memories I could remember as an old grannie. Soooo let's go paaaarty or something, it's gonna be spring soon anyway. Nothing last forever, even this darn winter!

Random: My camera is sick :(

2012-01-25T18:26:00.003+01:00

There is something wrong with my camera. I think :( It just keeps doing this blurry and overly saturated pictures and I don't know if I pushed something or there is just something wrong with its automatic focus. I had so much fun in the park with my sister, we did outfit shots and everything. I'm so sorry I can't share some more with you, I just hate having my pictures all blurry!!

I thought pictures looked amazing until I saw them on the computer screen. Out of 100 shots only a couple were sharp enough and I gave it all up after at least an hour of editing them. These are the only two I actually liked in the end. I might have to take my Nikon to the camera doctor. Maybe it's bored of taking pictures of the same girl all the time and he's protesting for real this time.

Anyway I hope he gets over his camera-o-fever and does his job normally soon! Well as for me, I have to get back to crazy dancing in my room :) I just can't get enough of this Pixie Lott song, I just have it on, all the timeee :) Deuces and I'm out :) Enjoy my darlings!!

I love to spend my afternoons drinking coffee downtown,talking over life.I even love the way how we can bring out the same topics every time, because they never grow old. Yet some conversations just make me think things over again when I'm catching my ride home.Like, how can we ever know where our life is going to take us? Unlike the buses who drive in the same direction every day and have numbers on so you can be absolutely sure where are you going to end up, life sadly doesn't come with a map, with all the lines, stations and numbering written down.

I like the point at which my life is right now, but what if somebody suddenly hits the switch and things don't go my way at all.For example.The things you never expected to happen, happen. The person you never wanted to meet again for at least a couple of months appears when you look like shit. All the wrong people start hanging out. Things play out by the worst scenario you can possibly make up (or even worse) and your favourite pair of hells has to take a trip to the trash land because being overly raped by your feet. (R.i.p.).

What should we do in this situations? Keep calm and carry on would be the best option. But we all know it's harder than that sometimes.

But just to put it under the question mark: If we wouldn't know how bad things can be, would we even be able to appreciate all the good stuff that happens? These things usually come your way walking hand in hand. Before the storm comes the calm and then after rain the sun comes out yet again. Right now my life is a perfect sunny land, although I may not have everything I want, I have what I need. And it's working for me right now.

I know that every rose has its thorn, and it stings you from time to time. But that's life. The good comes with the bad.I just hope this good feeling is here to stay cuz "oooooh ooooh sometimes I get a good feeling,I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no I geat a good feeling yea!"

KISS KISS,

They say being fabulous is the best revenge. Why? Well nobody can do anything about it. Once you got that fashionista swag they can't beat it out of you again. With a baseball bat, golf club, hockey stick, it doesn't matter. Once you go fab you never go back. Best they can do is to burn down your closet, but of course most of them probably know that, that would probably be hazardous to their health, cuz i'd hunt them down and take that baseball bat... just kidding! :D No hard feelings!

You must be wondering why am I saying all this? Simple :) I just started to get some hater comments on my mail. And you know what? I get such a good laugh out of it :) Comments with no head and tail, no arguments, no constructive critique from which I could learn something from. Just a simple "I don't like you" and that's it.Okay and you have to email me that for what? I have to congratulate myself for that, give myself a little credit, or give myself a high 5. I'm so awesome (yea right!).

But the thing is the soon you get that kind of hater comments you know that you actually have something worth hating. People don't get jealous for no reason. They usually get jealous when they think you have something better than them and you don't deserve it. If you don't care, you just ignore the whole thing, don't even waste your time to write one letter to begin with, let alone the whole email.

Oh well I guess you just can't have the good without the bad. I knew it will sometime come to this and I'll be writing this blog post and laugh to myself! You really can't have a good fashion blog this days without at least one hater! The bigger the group the better. It makes me wanna try even harder to make it better and better.

My lovelies just stay true to yourselves and dress like you're going to see your worst enemy (or your ex)! "Dress to impress."-The golden rule you should follow everyday! If someone hates you for that, well you have the best compliment right there! Don't feel bad about it just keep chuckin' your deuces up and keep shining!

Let's say our lives were about to be performed on stage. What would they be? A comedy, a tragedy...? Mine would probably be best as a soap opera where all guy's names are switched with Fernando's and Alejandro's and all the normal conversations with oooh's and aaaah's. I'd be that girl who always get's in trouble but really doesn't mean any harm to anyone and I would probably be named Esmeralda,Rosalinda or something like that.But then again I wouldn't want to see my life as a soap opera. Too cheesy! I Never liked them! Although they could write a great plot based on my life... but still, I'm officially dropping the subject!

If every man is a writer of his own story ...than why can't I just write my ideal story down, naming it "This is how my life should be", read it out loud,(like they do in ink heart) and BAM! There it would all be! Me,a bit older, living in New York, with fab flat, being bestselling author or an award winning designer or whatever. If only anything was that simple.

First of all my big plans for the future are changing almost every other day. I can't decide what I wanna do, where do I wanna do it and how I'm gonna get there. That right there is one of my biggest problems. I get really good ideas and I get all excited but I don't know how to realize them all. Some people on the other hand, know exactly what they want and head straight towards it by all means necessary. Those people can crash everything and everybody on their path. I was that someone standing in the way and I got run over. Not a pleasant feeling, especially if you think somebody cares for you enough to find another way instead of crushing you down.

I'm so not that kind of person. I do things with normal pace, singing myself "que sera, sera" along the way. I do want to see some of my plans come to life, but everything in its own time. If it's suppose to happen it will happen.I'll have to work for it, of course. Nothing just appears when you want it. But I don't want to go to fast. You can miss your turn if blindly racing towards your destination unknown.

I want to enjoy life now that I'm young, do the things that I like and do it with all my heart. Who knows maybe I'll end up with a crappy job and have no fun doing it for the rest of my life. Writing my blog, now hat's what's making me happy right now. Maybe I'll even make something out of it. Let's see where everything takes me. I see no point in trying to outrun time itself. Que sera, sera.

Today I'm having one of those lazy Fridays which,I'm sure,we all have from time to time. All I want to do is cuddle up with someone special and let my mind wander somewhere over soft cotton clouds. There are humming birds around my head, butterflies in my stomach and I'm getting all dizzy and softened up. Weird. It must be all the hot cocoa I'm drinking lately or mom's homemade cookies :P

Time to party with my firends? Naaah! I don't wanna leave my bed. My bed is my friend. It gives me warm blanket hugs*. It's also incredibly cozy and I just happen to be in the mood where I feel like a little fuzzy bear who could sleep trough the whole cold winter. So there it is, a perfect night for a old movie marathon!! Time to get started!

See ya, S&R!

In this world we live in, where appearance, status and all the wrong things seem to be more and more important...our wish to live bigger and better is constantly increasing. We crave for some things really badly but we're not doing anything about it.

You know,opportunities and chances won't punch us straight in the face, just to get our heads out of the clouds and maybe slowly realize "Oh look there is actually something good jumping around right in front of my nose. The bitch just slapped me".

You have to grab them with both hands and have a strong grip unless you want them to slip.I don't know why, but I seem to notice that people around me are dreaming about those things and opportunities more and more, but never think that they are maybe expecting a little too much. You have to work a little if wat to accomplish your dreams. You can't just hitch your wagon to a star and hope for the best, not even knowing in which direction it's gonna take you. So is it better to have high or low expectations when it comes to that?

When I jump in some random situation with my both feet, I usually give more and expect less. I have learned in my humble 20 years that the higher expectations, the harder the fall, cuz what you want isn't always what you get. Simple as that. Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying that if you have a dream job interview you should tell to yourself "I'm never gonna get it". That if you meet the new cute guy, he's never gonna fall for you. I'm just wondering if you set expectations too high, are you eventually going to end up hurt?

You see when you expect something from another homo sapiens much like yourself, you must consider that sometimes things will go wrong. And not just sometimes. At a workplace you're not gonna be to one they're looking for, when meeting someone you may not be as interested as he is, when blogging some will not like it at all. That's the way it is. But when you expect nothing, nothing can disappoint you. Just surprise you in a good way :D Imagine it like an empty cup. It can't get any emptier...buuuut, you can fill it up!With hot chocolate or whatever stuff you like!

Maybe it should be like this... you should only expect more and more from yourself. Cause you can change yourself much easier than some other person. Change your approach, change your attitude, change your behavior... what the hell change your expectations too if necessary. It's waaaay harder to make other people do that. Especially if they are as stubborn as a mule. I think that if you really really want something you're gonna look past some things that bother you and make it work for you! At all costs!

For example I have so many girlfriends that want to have a guy exactly like that that and that! At some point I just wanna say "honey, is it a robot that you want or a man?" Boys will be boys. And if you're gonna wait for the perfect man I'm afraid it's gonna take a while. I you like him, you really can look past some flaws if necessary. If he cares eventually he'll change things that bother you, even if just for a bit.

So to sum up, I think we should not expect some things just to happen but push ourselves to make them happen. Nothing will ever be perfect so if you must expect something: expect the unexpected! The course of live did never run smooth.There are ups and downs. But of course my lovelies, dream with all your little hearts and set sail into the unknown... but please promise me you'll at least try to make those dreams of yours come true and head towards them! When floating in sea of your fantasies it's easily to get lost a little bit. But let your heart be your compass, faith the soft breeze in your sails and I'm sure you're sure sail in the right direction!

P.S. I talk to much don't I? Somebody should find a duck tape or two to stick my big mouth and fingers together :D

Just wondering, since now we're actually in year 2012...what if this is really our last year on the earth? (cough cough bull***t) What would I want to do if I only had 365 days to live? Who would I want to hang out with? 365 days, 8.760 hours, 525.600 minutes, 31.536.000 seconds...actually even less, much less.

That's what I was thinking when me and Matic (from TeaM Photography) made our way through the old, abbandoned place full of broken rusted trains. With broken windows, glass laying the dusty floor, it looked like post-apocalyptic / haunted place where there is nothing except wind creeping around the remains of decaying walls.

This was supposed to be the place where we do some test shots. Great one. Amazing idea! Can't wait when we pull of the photo shoot. But great things always take time so you might wait a little more for that treat ;)!

Anyways, climbing on the old wagons, stepping on the rotten wooden planks I couldn't help myself but to question...if this was an old jungle bridge, (like the ones you see in Indiana Jones movies), how much would I trust myself stepping on this decayed wood? Would I make the next step or would I stay on the same side just because it was too risky getting across? What would I do?

The thing is, I put way much trust in others than in myself and in my own abilities. I always want to see the best in people, support them, give them my hand if they need it. But who would give me his hand when I'd need it? Honestly sometimes I really don't know.

People change sometimes, leave you alone for no reason and you end up confused, maybe even with a couple of knives stabbed in your back. Only then you realize that trusting people too much doesn't work out good for you sometimes. And then your trust in them begins to rust like this old deserted place!

But don't give up if you sometimes feel like your world it's going to fall apart. Because even outskirts like this get visited from time to time and look, they suddenly come back to life. Sometimes it only takes one girl, one boy and his camera. So a big fat thank you goes to my friend Matic, who made this amazing pictures above. He is an incredibly talented young photographer, as you probably already noticed, and I think you should definitely visit his new website: TeaM Photography!

I hope you like it, I sure do!

January 8th. More than one week since New Years countdown. There is still a paper laying on my desk, right in front of me- New Year's resolutions. It's completely blank, if you don't count that pretty little header on top of course. Every single day I ask myself "what do you want to change this year hun, think!" The thing is, that paper isn't the only blank thing around, my mind can join the club easily! Maybe I don't want to change anyting. Maybe I want everything to stay just the same and put a little more faith in me.

You can make anything happen if you have the will and wish strong enough. So why wait for new year!?

You can change yourself any day if you want to. Make your life better any time you want to. The way I see it, these are little footsteps along the way. Change can begin every morning when you wake up look in the mirror and tell yourself you're beautiful. I don't need an excuse like new year to start working out or be more spontaneous for example. That's why I decided to do a list of only 3 things I have done in the past year and I'm proud of. Just 3. It's not that easy!

1. I finally grew balls to start my own blog. Congrats to me! Now I have finally find a way to annoy all of you wonderful fashionable people with it :D

2. I learned what it means to love someone with all your heart, to get that little heart of yours hurt and to pick yourself up because well some things just don't always go your way. You can cry, you can sit in the corner, blame the universe, shave your hair or just "F" the whole thing. Pick the last one, don't u dare shave ur head!!! You'll soon see, that there is someone better for you out there. Trust me, I know!

3. I let go of that little voice inside my head that is always concerned what will everybody else think of me. Who cares. Do what you want. Love what you do. Life for the moment. Period. It still surprises me how much happier I am now that I let go of that unwelcome imaginary friend. Others noticed too :)

As it goes for the whole year....You know that feeling inside, when you look back on the past year and think "How am I ever going to top out these entire 12 best months!?" How to make even better, unforgettable memories, the kind you would frame and put on your wall just to look at them and smile. It was a good year, fun, crazy, with some parts I'd love to forget yes, but those won't stick around to because in the end it's the good ones we remember.

Some things don't play out as they should and some don't do you any good :) but as you head forward they disappear in the bright light of your anticipation of the new wonderful things that are going to happen. That's what's so great about a new year. They give you that feeling that something is going to change in order to make place for something new. Even if it's just a tiny little number being replaced in our calendars.

So happy new year, people! (Late I know) Let's make it even more fab, shall we?

Kisses, S&R

Outfit post: I'm leaving my teenage years!

2011-12-27T23:28:00.007+01:00

One year older, one year wiser and already 20! Bye bye teenage years, I'm leaving you! It's time to take myself seriously from now on. I already packed my bags. Soon I'll be thirty... and I'll have to leave my parents house, have kids, learn to do laundry...oh the pain :D + I think I might be seeing my first wrinkles on my face...yep the decision is final... I'm throwing the mirrors out! Just kidding, as always. I still believe age is just a number and deep down inside I'm still 6 years old. But then again, prison is just a room!

Shorts, Blazer: Zara Top: Vero moda Shoes: Miezko

Anyway, thank all of you guys for your wishes and greetings :) They lighten up my day. And of course a big thanks to my friends and family, whom I annoy for some years now, but they still love me just the way I am. Bad hair day, unpredictable bitchy attitude, mood swings, silly faces...yep, not perfect and I never wanna be! Cuz it's no fun!

I always spend my birthday with my family. Excitement when I get my presents in the morning, family lunch at my fav. restaurant and theater in the evening. Just the way I like it. Celebrating with my friends, books the rest of the week anyway :D! However I never managed to throw a birthday party since,like, I was little. I'm always having intimate gatherings with couple of my best friends. However next year, (when I turn 21 and I'm legal everywhere!) I'm throwing a BIG FAB PARTY. At least I want to!

Did I mention I just looove my gifts. I got I-phone 4S, yaaaay finally!!! I tought I would never see this day, because I resisted I-phone for so long, touchsreen used to drive me mad!! But here I am, proudly owner!

R.I.P. my beloved BlackBerry, welcome touchscreen, you bloody thing,you!

I also got Thomas Sabo charm bracelet which I wanted for so long and two charms (One form mom and dad, one from my brother and sister) Of course I also got money (muhaha, I'm rich), wich I prefer since some people just don't know how to pick gifts at all! So I make the job easier for them: Gimme cash, and me happy!

I got loads of other cute stuff, jewellery, make up, clothes and such but you will see me wearing that anyway :)

Have great holidays dolls,I'm having a blast so far!!!

Outfit post: Wild hearts can't be broken!

2011-12-23T11:12:00.003+01:00

Did you hear? As the night falls, good girls turn bad. We keep them shots comming, we keep the party rocking and we make dissing boys look like an art. But what happens at night doesn't count right? It's dark and no one can see anyway :D? Now that's some good thinking. Cuz at daylight everything goes back to normal and we are classy,stylish,lovely ourselves. Oh snap! I like walking on the bad side once in a while.

In order to have some you have to give some. Be fun and you will have fun with others. Be positive and your life will suddenly look brighter. Smile and others will smile back. It's amazing how little things can have huge impact on your life. If a cute guy smiles at me crossing the street, it gets me in a really good mood. If I hear my fav song on the danceflooor, my heartbeat jumps and I dance like crazy forget everything and everyone around me. If somebody buys me a drink, well no comment on that :D Good girls don't drink and tell.Let me just find my halo, I think I left it somewhere near the bar.

Although I had a crazy party on Wednesday, I must admit I was a good girl!
I saved the day actually. I rescued Jack Daniels... the poor thing was trapped in a bottle. Hic*
I am on the party mode this week, cuz it's the last week I'm spending as a teenager :D Yeeey. It's time to get wild and then... well stay wild! I'll rest when I'm older. Just 3 more days to go!

(I love bumping into my stylish readers :) Kim sure does know how to dress well ;)!)

P.S. The pictures are nearly 1 week old, but I didn't get the chance to upload them yet... I just have so much things to do! Since I don't have outfit photos from Wednesday, I'll just use these.

Look at my hair, it's still long :D! They desperately needed my hairdresser's help, so we kind of cut them off on Tuesday.

Fashion events: Flash meets Diners

2011-12-16T16:34:00.001+01:00

I have been invited to this cool fashion event on Wednesday evening, which took place in the National gallery here in Ljubljana. Of course I really enjoy such fashion events and I decided I just have to check it out. I met Špela from Fashion Junki for a cup of coffee first, because we had a lot of catching up to do, and then we went down there together.

The party was hosted by Flash shopping guide and Diners club Slovenia. Together they presented the first "fashion credit card" and managed to throw an amazing party. Everything was in style: the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and some really nice live music. I really, really liked it, although I couldn't stay long. Anyway why waste my words, you can see it for yourselves just down below ;)

Skirt, Blouse, Blazer, Shoes: Zara Bag: 123

This is my outfit of the night. As you can see I wore outfit NUMBER 2. the for the event. It just seemed more appropriate :)

Guess who? Just kidding! It's Anže who is doing a street style blog; you can check it here

Enjoy my lovelies, I have to get ready for my friend's b-day party!

New In: Why do I always buy skirts in winter?

2011-12-14T17:31:00.002+01:00

I love Pre-Christmas presents. In my case: The class of typography that was cancelled yesterday. I could almost hear the angels sing when I heard the news. You know, there is nothing better than having a free day, which I spent (oh what a surprise) SHOPPING. I don't know how I manage to do it, but I'm always buying shorts and skirts in the middle of winter... every time I'm like "Ana, come on, not again... that sweater over there looks waaaaaay more comfy and warm". The next thing I know... "Cash or a Credit Card honey?"
Oh what the hell! I'll need them skirts and shorts in the spring anyway ;)

I always have so much to do while shopping. Like taking detailed pictures of clothes I'm currently trying on in the dressing room. So I'm just gonna bore you with that for a little while.Although if you ask me, I find them cute :D I picture everything that I find pretty but doesn't suit me. Sniff :(

Another thing. I would be me, if I wouldn't want to wear the newly bought stuff right away. I'm going to this fashion party today and I just can't decide what I want to wear. Aaaaargh :) I always complicate everything when it comes to styling, don't I? You better not see my room when it comes to fashion crisis.

So Who's for the number 1 and who's for the number 2?

I'm going to get ready for the party now, Love ya dolls!

Wishlist: Furry jacket

2011-12-12T23:42:00.000+01:00

I came across this baby in Zara the other day and it was a love at first sight. Now I just can't get it out of my mind, because I can't decide if it's warm enough to keep me company trough these cold winter days. Would you just look at me? Talking about a fur jacket like it was a guy. Unbelievable!!! :D Anyways I need your help with this one dolls. What is it going to be? BUY or NOT TO BUY???

Kisses,

Outfit post: Big girls don't cry

2011-12-10T19:23:00.002+01:00

Big girls don't cry. Nope. They put on killer stilettos, add some kick-ass lipstick and go partying all night. Then the next day they switch their cocktails for morning coffee and pretend they are girls from the sex and the city with all the girly talk and stuff :D

Yep sometimes I wish I could turn myself into Carrie Bradshaw. Go live in New York. Write this damn blog of mine and have one hell of a life. In a good way of course. Although I'd love to skip all the messed up bits and parts along the way, you know what life? Just throw them at right at me. We'll see if this girl can handle it. Hint: She did in the past and will do it again

Of course if there is no drama there is no fun and with no fun life would be boring. And I hate boring. I have been bored for the past 3 months and I'm so glad I finally broke free. It's like I have been caught up in this all this shades of grey and now somebody showed me the sunshine.

It's funny how some things fade out of our lives to make room for something new. Something even more exciting. Something that makes you think: "I must be out of my mind for doing this", but you do it anyway. Because somewhere back in your mind the green light is flashing, saying "If you never try, you will never know".

So why not do something when you clearly want to? If it feels right, it feels right! Even if somebody is trying to prove you wrong. Listen up buddy! Enjoy the damn moment, it's not going to be here forever. And neither will you. So let's just make the most of it, shall we?

I go party now, and you go read my post ;) Love ya all!

Outfit post: You are who you are

2011-11-28T14:33:00.002+01:00

You are who you are. Don't try to change yourself just because other people play masquerade every day are not showing their true colors. I like to hang out with people who are not afraid to be themselves, flaws and all. People who are confident, people who like to laugh, people that are honest and people that can let go and act crazy with me. Sometimes being surrounded with a bunch of positive friends can literally save your ass when you're feeling down.

I have made a promise to myself yesterday. I'm going to enjoy my life now, appreciating every second that is given.
Because nobody can promise you tomorrow. I know it sounds cliche,but I just have to make "carpe diem" my new motto. I'd rather enjoy life now and be completely broke, than having a lot of money when I'm older and having no good memories to look back to.

You'll never have more fun than you can have now when you are young. With age there come responsibilities and worries, things that now don't seem that important to us. All I know is that when I have my own children and all that, I want to have a bunch of good stories to tell them. In life you get a lot of experience...most of it by doing stupid things, making the wrong decisions and then learning from it. You have to share it with someone in the end right :D!?

So cheers to all that life throws at us. We are eventually going to get over it and laugh about it in the end.
(Hahahah I can't believe I actually posted that picture ROFL! "CARPE DIEM")

Have fun!

Outfit post: In this town I used to listen, once.

2011-11-27T12:06:00.003+01:00

It's already 27 Nov. Yaaaaay. 1 month till my birthday guys. Let the countdown begin! I should start writing my birthday wishlist down I can't really decide what do I actually want for my birthday. I have the same problem each year! Actually I do know for one thing I want but I can't really have that. So I'm stuck as always :) Oh well, I still have a month anyway.

My mom and dad don't really support buying a "fashion gift" for my birthday. So I can already scratch things like Chanel bag, Louboutin pumps, Burberry coat off my mind. Darn it. Maybe they'll be up for surprising me with something from Tiffany's, now that's a thought that lightens my day :P

Anyway this is an outfit from Friday night when I went out for a drink.I forgot how eventful the party nights can be. Nonetheless it was a good party. Not exactly what I expected, but it turned out to be a great start for the Happy December that is coming up. Party party party party :D! Girl just wanna have fun, despite what anyone thinks ;) who's with me? (My cat Thor no doubt, he parties wild!)

Also I can't wait for the next Saturday when the light decoration in Ljubljana starts to shine. It makes the whole city look magical during the cold nights. I love to just walk around by the river and watch the lights flicker in the water reflection. They say it's even better in pair. Searching for boy volunteers to warm me up and keep me company hehe. Just joking as always ;)

Have fun dolls,

Outfit post: I liked you better before

2011-11-26T16:20:00.007+01:00

It's funny to lock back sometimes and see how people have changed over time.The one who was your best friend a couple of years back is now no more than a stranger. The girl who used to be nice to everybody turned out to be the bitch whom nobody likes. The boy who used to be caring doesn't give a F anymore. Strange how things can change so quickly.

And me, well maybe I have changed most of all. Maybe not for the right reasons, maybe for no reason at all.

Time changes everything. It changes you, me, my cat, that tree in front of my room...everything.

You may not like it, but it's just how life goes. You just have to live with it and not try to over analyze it. Cuz normally you won't understand things anyway.The best you can do is learn from it and change yourself into a better person. Bit by bit! One step at a time.

I just don't like the way those things can hurt you. Fighting over stupid things, broken friendships, faded feelings, 'friends' that stop talking to you for no reason, drama seekers and gossip makers, 'friends' that stab you in the back occasionally and that moments when you eventually don't know who to trust anymore. It takes time to learn how to trust people again.

It's only natural that you feel down, when you give the best of yourself and don't get the same back.

I don't know why I keep writing this all the time but...this is for all my true friends who stick with me trough anything, who don't give up on me and make me smile every day. The good moments I share with them, outbalance every bad thing that happens to me along the way. Thank you for shining even when my path is hidden in darkness sometimes. I love you :)! (Again)

Kisses,

Fashion show: Simona Lampe eco

2011-11-25T17:53:00.000+01:00

So yesterday I attended a fashion show by Simona Lampe here in Ljubljana and I can't tell you how excited I was when I got the invitation a few days back. It was the first real invitation a got as a fashion blogger and it really meant something to me. Also with it I got my own +1 and I was able to take my friend Maja (visit her blog here) with me. Of course both of us had a blast attending the show, the two of us just can't be bored together :D anytime, anywhere fun fun fun :)!

I got to sit in the first row and I must say the collection the designer prepared for us was amazing. The line is called "Gdč" (eng.= "Miss") and radiates elegance and femininity all around. The clothes I've seen are timeless and they could be worn by woman of any age. Including myself. I fell in love with some pieces, especially the coats, that red "kimono-like" above,took my breath away. I also love how the designer got playful with details. Zippers,lace,buttons... it was all there. And it was eco ;)

As far as I know the designer, she followed her dreams and started doing what she loved, even though she studied something completely different than fashion design. I admire her for that. For all the courage and vision she is still following.
I wish someday I'll see what my heart desires most and I'll go for it no matter what.

As for the whole organisation of the event ... It was lovely. Big thumbs up for whoever planned it. Everything was in style. Because the line was Eco they played along and used old crates,boxes and paper to create the right atmosphere.I thought the idea of it was pretty amazing. There was even a sushi bar and I got to try the sushi for the first time. I always thought it will be slimy and weird to try, but you know what... I liked it. Next time I won't just pass the sushi restaurant when I'm downtown, but go there for delicious lunch or dinner.

Stay tuned for the outfit I wore to the event and enjoy the lovely creations above!

Love,

Outfit post: The world should revolve around me!

2011-11-22T20:39:00.004+01:00

Guys I finally found the place to shoot inside. My room. And I thought there was maybe a cooler place in this house. Obviously not. Yeah my room isn't that big, but all it needed was a little renovation. Now that I have moved some furniture around it seems like I have way more space. I can even dance crazily around without worrying I'd hit something :D My fav song in this chilly weather? The world should revolve around me by Little Jackie. Can't get enough. Cuz it should revolve around me. It's my life and no worries should pop in my head without a good reason. And you can never find a reason good enough to worry.We're young. We'll do that later! When we're 98!

I seriously don't know where I'm getting all my energy from. The clouds the cold the fog, usually get me all sleepy and lazy. But now for a change, I want to do so many different things to keep myself busy and I don't know with what to start. And I want to paaaartey so bad, even though it's only Tuesday. There is nothing wrong with having fun with your girls, getting tipsy and meeting cute boys, once in a while. I confess I am no party animal, but sometimes I just need to go out and go wild! After that kind of nights always, there is at least one good story to tell ;) hopefully this friday will be one of those nights!!

Leggings,Kimono,Belt: Zara Blazer: H&M

Anyway it's not the end of the week yet and I'll just watch a movie or something, I don't have school in the morning anyway. Anybody up for a sleepover? :D Just kidding, but I'll take a good movie recommendations, if you know one or two worth watching!

Outfit post: You are my sunshine :)

2011-11-19T23:26:00.006+01:00

We all want a little more sunshine these winter days, don't we? We all want those clouds above our heads to go away so we can see the starry sky above. Cuz only then we can wish something on a shooting star. But the thing is we can't always have what we want and we sometimes realize too late, that what we want is already to far away to catch. And sometimes we wonder why the hell did we let it go.

But we have to to think about it from the bright side. Without clouds and rain and sun mixed together there could be no rainbows. Without falling down and getting up again, we would never learn. And without loving, getting hurt and getting over it, we would never realize how quickly we can lose something we think is forever ours. Cuz nothing can stay with you forever. We cannot hold on to one moment, one memory... but we can hold on to ourselves. Till the last breath, with bruises, scars and broken wings.

We have to stay trong, believe in ourselves, cuz if we don't, well we let life pass us by, with us feeling insecure and hopeless along the way. If you let past be past and look on to the future, heading to it, with your head held high, you can see how extraordinary life can be, and will be. You don't need anybody to help you find happiness. It's just like expecting that somebody will tie your shoelaces for the rest of your life.That is your job and yours alone.

But on your road to it you might meet certain people that brighten up your day, month or even a year. If you are lucky enough they stick with you forever. They can give you support, help, protection, love,till you come to the end of time. Like the fellowship of the ring, except they are the fellowship of your dearest friends :D. Trust me you'll know who they are trough time...when you're hanging on with just one hand, they'll lend you one of theirs.

So appreciate the people who would go with you to the end of the world. When you end up alone, all by yourself, they will offer the help you need. So don't push them away, when they are willing to put a hand in fire for you. Don't push them away cuz sometimes you don't have time and all the things seem more important. Feeling unwanted, they can leave you forever. So thank you, friends, my sun rays who shine even through the thickest clouds... I LOVE YOU, thank you for getting my back and all that.

And here is the one for my lovely readers. I can't say how happy I am for every sweet comment I get. You brighten my days in your own special way. Thank you for reading and all the support you give to Stardust&Roses.

xoxo,

Outfit post: Smile and start again :)

2011-11-12T19:52:00.001+01:00

At some point in life you will learn that as one door closes the other one opens. Shop doors, of course. I don't know why I do this, but when something's bothering me I go shopping. I might not buy anything in the end,like today for example, but I feel better, much better. Words of a true shopaholic,I sometimes wonder,what will ever become of me!? Maybe Becky Bloomwood could help me figure that out.

So today I just had to go to the mall for some relaxation time. I just walked and walked around, not really liking anything I saw.
Cuz what I want right now no money can buy. But there was one thing I simply had to get...
coffeshop's large white moccachino. Sugar fix-makes anything better.Yummy yummy!

Anyway this was what I was wearing today. See the shoes? I found the last pair yesterday, but they were one size smaller than what I usually wear. But I tried them on anyway and they fit. That was truly a sign from above, so I bought them although I wouldn't consider them my style at first glance. But they really comfy and I can't wait wear them with everything.

Anyway, hope you like it :)

2011-11-11T17:41:00.003+01:00

Guys, I am so, so sorry for not posting much, but I have so much work to do for school and it's driving me crazy. Since a lot of you asked me if I could show some more of my art, I decided to share one of my projects with you :). At subject Illustration,we had to pick a mythical creature at the beginning of the semestre and now we have to develop the character untill the exam.

Since I suck at watercolors and inking (I didn't get the grade I expected last time, blah, still bummed about it) I decided to switch brushes with wacom tablet and do some digital work.(At which I hope, I don't entirely suck ) Sooo, this is how it's going so far :) Let me know what you think! I'll post the finnished piece, as soon as I'm done. Don't worry, you'll see it :)

P.S. Expect a new outfit post soon + I'm starting a new blog project, which will remain secret untill 20th :)
Hehe, nope I'm not telling, just so you can wonder what it will be!

Love ya dolls!

Outfit post: You just live once!

2011-11-04T16:40:00.004+01:00

You only live once. So forget all the mistakes you may have made, wrong words that slipped through your mouth, stupid actions on which you look upon and think "why the hell did I do that". It doesn't matter. Think it over once or twice and then let it go. Cuz it's in your past and you can't change it. Yes it may follow you up to your future sometimes and the outcome is not what you want to see.
But it shouldn't bring you down although it sometimes does. And it's stuck up in your head and it does not go away if you don't consciously decide NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT. There is so much more nice stuff to think about instead.
The smell of morning coffe, the sight of first snow, retarded moments with your best friend,excitement when summer holidays start...

Most of the people spend to much thinking "oh now what,he said, she said now this and that will happen, I'm so screwed " and we make up all the worst scenarios in our head, that are not likely going to happen. When I have moments like that, I wish I could pack up my things and move my ass to Bali. Seriously. Nobody would know me me, nobody would understand me and I would have nowhere to live. Perfect. But because that can't really be arranged, you have to find a way to flee from your own thoughts.

It works differently for everybody. Some exercise really hard to get it all out, some hide in the closet and try to push the world away, as for me, I either take a long walk to clear my thoughts or lay in my bed with some relaxation music that takes me away. If I don't there is a long line of WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY repeating in my head and it gets quite annoying after some time.

Shorts, belt/scarf: H&M Blazer: Zara Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

But in life you must learn trough time, to be strong enough to ignore all things that are not worth of your attention. Look back and laugh about your stupidity at the time.We just have to acknowledge that some things happen to everybody. We slip, we fall. We burn our dinner sometimes. We accidentialy spill drinks (and occasionally on purpose), have a bad hair day,gain weight over christmas holidays and sometimes be terribly late for a date. We are all human.

We sometimes make fools out of ourselves.That's why nobody should judge you and you should not judge yourself for some mistakes you have made. The trick is to just be yourself and take every moment as a gift. Enjoy it, be happy about it. Don't waste time trying to explain your actions, cuz if you do, I'll get stuck in the past while everybody is racing to the future. Just say "That's who I am, flaws and all. Now take it or leave it.

Getting all deep again guys, sorry bout that, :D

Random: I have some questions for you :)

2011-11-01T17:11:00.002+01:00

So the holidays for me are over and I took a little break from blogging,just so I can clear my head and set my priorities straight. So yesterday when most of you were partying and (I believe) having a horrific Halloween, this witch did not ride her broom. She sat at home, sipping hot coco, watched her favourite movie and tried to figure out why did she turn into such a softie. If you asked me one year ago,what is your plan for the future, I'd be able to answer you in a second. Finnish college in Slovenia, working part-time job to save up for Milan or London, maybe flirt with the idea of having my own car and stuff like that. But now I'd probably tell you to visit me again in a month or so, to see if I have decided yet.

I started noticing that I lack the focus, I need. My boyfriend helps me see that every day. When he decides to do something nothing can get in the way. He does what he needs to do in order to get the best results. I admire that trait even though I have to sometimes step of my pedestal and adjust to his free time. I am a very stubborn person and I rarely do that, but I guess he is the only more stubborn person than I am. He'll do great things someday and me... I'll be answering calls as his secretary. JUST KIDDING.

It's just that I have dispersed focus and I want to do so many stuff. I can't stick only to one idea, I have to try as many as I can in order to see what works for me and what does not. And the problem occurs every time I try new things. I always become good at it, but never stick around long enough to make it great! Many people have said, that I have to many talents and that's distracting me from what I really want. Probably they are right. But something is true for sure,when I really, really want something, then I put everything I have in it. Period.

The reason I'm telling you this is that I have decided to put my blog in the top circle of my priorities. I never knew when I started, I'd get such a great response. I'm delighted to see that my reader circle is getting wider and wider, happy to see people sending me emails about how much they like it... I realized that I haven't been so happy about something in ages. My blog is my little heaven, it has a piece of my heart attached to it and I can't imagine myself,not doing it. I hope writing it, is so much fun, as it is for you, reading it. And now I'm ready to take it to another level.That's why I am asking you to help me.

I have prepared 3 simple questions for you guys, and I'd be really grateful if you'd answer them:

1) WHAT DO YOU LIKE ON MY BLOG AND WHY?
2) WHAT BOTHERS YOU ON MY BLOG AND WHY?
3) WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE/ADD/LIKE TO SE MORE OF, ON MY BLOG?

You can email the answers to me if you like that better: Click here to e-mail me

If you decide to answer these, please be TRUTHFUL about it. You are free to write your opinions, good or bad. I'll take them all as a constructive critique and won't be angry at all. So don't be SHY :)!!

Kisses and be ready for the first November outfit post!

Philips Fashion Week: Day 2, Catwalk 1

2011-10-27T12:06:00.004+02:00

The second day of fashion week was more for my taste, if I may say so. Probably because my two fav. Slovenian designers Nina Šušnjara and Maja Ferme had their catwalks. Since I loved the first show best of all, I decided to comment a little more on the presented collections. I didn't get all the photos I wanted, but at least I have more than yesterday :) Sadly I have no outfit pictures for you guys, cuz I was all alone there. I was feeling kinda awkward to be honest. I didn't know where to put myself after the show. All the fashion editors, fashion gurus, celebritys, desigers.... and ME.

I didn't knew anybody in person, and I'm not the kind of girl who just randomly goes to unknown people and starts a conversation. I always feel like I'm invading their space or something. I do however chat with unknown people and bloggers if they are nice to me and seem interested in what I have to say. If I feel unwanted, I rather leave than take all that awkward looks they gave me. So yesterday I was lucky enough that I had a friend living nearby the FW stage. And extra lucky that he was at home.So I spend an hour between shows at his place. It just felt more welcoming that's all. Now to the catwalk!

NINA ŠUŠNJARA

Nina's Website

Nina, oh Nina... you make me wanna go on my knees and bow to you. You can see when a designer puts the heart into their designs. And the work shown below is just a case like that. Talented from head to toe. Edgy, elegant and somewhat sexy. What i really like about this designs is the constant dynamic within them. Feminine meets Gentleman, Clean cuts combined with soft fabrics... constant contrasts! She believes that opposites do attract and I agree, it goes so well with my 'fashion philosophy'. A woman should always be 50:50, beautiful yet fatal, mysterious and sexy... it's all about the right amount of each. And Nina has just the right amount of good taste as far as I'm standing. Nice collection!

MAJA FERME

Maja's Website

What I love most about Maja's designs is that they are always so feminine. They embrace woman's curves and radiate elegance all around. I love when she uses flowy and fluid materials for her dresses, on the catwalk they look divine! Of course naturally, I set my eyes on the last two ones. All those (they must be) handmade details. I wish I could see them more closely.You know how I love lace,sparkle and pearls right? I've had this movie scene rolling in my head the last few seconds, about how I get on the catwalk and fight with a model to hand me that dress :D Oh how dramatic! But hand on my heart, this was really beautiful to watch!

NATAŠA HRUPIČ

Nataša's Website

So here is the last designer... I admit I have heard the name before but never seen the work. And now that I have, I like it so far. For the record there is another side of me that likes minimalism simplicity and clean design, although I might not wear pieces like that right now (I don't feel mature enough). It seemed like clothes were in a constant game of hide and seek. There was a lot of sheer material and clean cuts combined together in tasteful designs. I'll be watching this designer from now on :)!

Hope you like the pictures, I apologize for the blury parts, my camera is giving me a hard time :D

Kisses,

Philips Fashion Week: Day 1

2011-10-25T22:50:00.002+02:00

Anyway today is a very special day, cuz Slovenia has organized a first fashion week ever. I must say it's a rather big step for Slovenian fashion scene, which is, I dare to say, a little bit conservative and still inside the box.I'm delighted to see that it's moving somewhere even though maybe with baby steps. Since the owner of my fav. place Lolita has decided to play all fashion shows there live, I've seen no need to actually get the tickets and see it in person.

I was just writing a post in fact about how I'll be unable to go, how I'll just hang with my tissues, pills and tea bags for the rest of the day, cuz I've been feeling so sickly lately. Then my dad popped in my room with a hand full of envelopes. Guess what was in them...??
First row tickets.And who am I to waste those tickets and not go! It would be fashion crime + thank you so much daddy!Made my day!

Although I was already lying in my comfy bed,I've found that last spot of energy in my body and decided to get up and get out!
So I put on my stilettos, applied on my new lipstick and hopped I looked about 10 times better than I was actually feeling.
I'm sorry, dear virus but this GAL is still going GLAM tonight.

So about the whole show. I've only seen the first one today (I skipped the second one) and tomorrow I have 2 more to go.
I can't really say I was totally impressed, cuz I wasn't. Which was expected at least from my side.
I have seen to much fashion shows on TV already and it has to really be something special to throw me off my feet.

It's the first week ever here, and those things take time to become known and well supported. But I see great potential here!!I've seen that they have worked really hard for it and the final result was really nice. I mean hello, we are in Slovenia... you can't really expect a show that can compare to Victoria's secret right? But there were some designs that I actually really really liked and would love to wear.

(I love the fabric of those shorts, and the color is just FAB!)

I really need to purchase some new Nikon lens. The ones I are pretty basic ones, and not good enough to capture a clear image of a model walking down the catwalk. Everything is sooo blurry. Half of the photos I wanted to use are just not good enough. And I only want to share the best for you guys. I hope I get some more good footage tomorrow!

Anyways, after the show me and my sister went to Lolita of course and ordered some hot coco and pana cota. At first we wanted to stay till 9 and wtch the second show, but we were just to tired and we headed home. I'm going to pay dearly for walking around cold in a skirt while I'm sick, but at least I'll be the one who shares the news first instead of hearing them from someone else.

Stay tuned for a new, fashion week fix tomorrow!!

Love,

One of the best things you can get at Academy of design, is a computer right in front of your nose, when you're having classes. Because I'm using Adobe produtcs since I was 13, I can lay back a little bit now, when we are still covering basic tools and tips. So I edited some freshly taken photos from this morning. It's nothing nicer than being inside, eating croissants and having a great time, when outside is literally raining cats and dogs. I hate rain though, It messes up my hair, makes my shoes wet and I look like a puddle when I get home. I would scare myself in the mirror if I'd dare to look at it before brushing my hair.

However I would have nothing against it, if I was caught up in a scene of Notebook or Dear Johnn.
It's one of the most romantic things I have ever seen. Shame it doesn't really happen in real life.

Yes, exactly, back to real life now. As I was saying before, me and M. had a lovely breakfast at Lolita today before our classes and It's a shame we didn't have more time.I could talk to this girl all day. Fun, cute, stylish... a real diva! But we did take some grogeous photos and we thank Lolita's staff, for granting us permison to do it inside :)

I tought we will have some problem with the lighting, cuz it everything looked so yellow at first. But I changed the flash settings and they turned out so fabolously great!! I am in love with them. They are something special and have this cute little touch to it.

M, WE ARE THE BEST! I hope this will become our tradition :) something like Blair and Serena used to have in GG. Sunday, croissants and breakfast at Tiffany's!

I can't believe almost everything is form Zara, except the Scarf: New Yorker and Shoes: Lea Foscati for Manas

There was a moment in Sienna which I will never forget. A Italian man approached me, after Milo Manara exhibition blabbering something in Italian. I didn't understand a thing he said besides "bella" and "tutto" so I asked him if he can repeat that sentence in English. "Why look so sad?" he said. "I'm not sad" I replied.Yet he just stared back at me in silence. At last he finally said "You can be happy you know. You can be everything". And he walked away. It was one of the strangest things that has happened to me, but I owe this man a big fat "THANK YOU"

Such simple words, yet they put everything back in place that wasn't fitting in my life. Cuz it got me to thinking... I can choose to be everything I want. I can be sad, be stressed, be happy, be bubbly...It is all my decision. So I choose to be happy. I'm waving a white flag in the face of every problem, stupid fight, stressful moment, and bad friend in my life. I'll just leave them behind and forget about them.

I already did something today, I wouldn't do in 1000 years if you asked a couple of days ago. This girl and I got into a fight over things that shouldn't even matter. I just wanted to help her and make this her realize that she is wrong. But because she wouldn't listen and said some bad things back to me, I came out a little bit too harsh. But I apologized today although this should be her place not mine. But I feel lighter now after I did it. And I swear that from now on, I'm not going to help anyone who doesn't want my help or advice.

I can't explain why, but this warm happy feeling is getting all over me, like I can do anything now. Like dancing in my underwear. Just kidding. I have plenty of school work,so I'll just start with that and Jamelia's old song that I have found on my iPod.Still good, still true :) "Hey, now don't you cry, there's no drama in your life. You're gonna see you got it so good."

Have fun my lovelies, there is always something to smile about!

Hey guys, I'm back! Like always, weekend came and went too quickly, but this one flew away with light speed. It was over in a blink of an eye and now I'm back to Ljubljana and back to reality. I already skipped one good night's sleep and worked overnight on my school assignments.It was hard to believe that I left Tuscany just a couple of hours ago.
Remembering everything felt like it was just a sweet and short dream.

And it was a dream, only that this time, I was dreaming with my eyes wide open. Trust me, one of the most magical moments you can experience in Italy, is Tuscany landscape in the evening light. It looked so peaceful and serene, so far away from everything that bothers me. When the last sun rays touched the landscape, I wished I could run barefoot as far as I could through those hills.
(Which was technically impossible because I was in a bus of course)

So I turned my I-pod volume up and tuned out the outer world, just sitting there amazed by the view. With Colbie Caillat singing "You Got Me"in my ear,I imagined I was trapped in a scene from "Letters to Juliet." Great movie by the way.One of my favourites in fact.
I'm not that into romantic comedies, but this one I loved from the beginning to the end. Totally worth seeing!

Two days is way too little to really fall into the Tuscany vibe, but it's perfect timing for a quick getaway. I like this short trips because I have time to think, put everything in perspective and come back home refreshed. However I am trying to convice my mom, to spend a week or two there during the next summer. That would be beyond awesome. (Actually saying that I realized how far away summer actually it is. Winter I love you, but please make it quick this time :) )

( Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey. A little bit away from Siena but really beautiful, a pearl in the middle of Tuscany landscape)

Anyway, if you've never been to Siena before, I have to tell you it is a really old but still exciting town. Everything is build up on the hill so you change levels all the time when you are walking through the tiny streets. Up and down and up and down... But hey, it's the charm of it. Well I can't deny this, the view is amazing when you reach the top... of the hill or the bell tower (I'll show that later)

I loved this place, where they made "tutto naturale" ice cream. I insisted every time that we go get one or two each time we passed by. My mom taught I was crazy because it was really windy and kind of cold...but who cares. I'd do everything for a sugar fix.

And look where I ate it. At the same spot Sophie slaps Charlie in the face with her ice cream in the film. It's like my favourite scene in the whole movie. (I totally have to watch this now :3 thanks to my mom's wide collection of DVDs I'll get to it as soon as I post this) <3

And of course the most famous building in all Sienna. The town hall. Yep, we climbed all the way up on the top of the tower to see the view. Truthfully,the staircase is a bit too narrow and the ceiling is way to low (All respects to the guy who got up there every day just to ring the damn bell 300 years ago). But after 500 steps and a little bit of squeezing its all worth it... because the view is breathtaking, don't you think!? I could stay there forever. Ok maybe a hour or two, it's a great place to relax. I need that lately!

As you can see we had the perfect weather both days, so the trip was even more pleasant altogether.

I wish I could have stayed a bit longer, but hey, there is always a next time. And I'll sure come back here!! And next stop?

Florence and Verona... I can't wait!

P.S. I was so happy when I found this KIKO nail polish in Siena. It's the exact same shade I was looking for ages.

Since I didn't try Kiko cosmetics before, I bought a couple of goodies to try :)

Enjoy all the pictures! I have taken a bunch more, but the post would be to crowded ;)

The weekend is getting closer and I getting more and more excited. Wondering why? My mom has booked a surprise trip to Siena, a romantic italian town in Tuscany. Since I love to travel and I love Italy this has made me soooo happy. Delicious pasta, amazing architecture, nice people and great art galleries :) what more can I ask for? I'm leaving on Saturday morning and coming back on Sunday evening. It will be a short trip yea, but I'll enjoy it all the same. Siena here we come!

Besides that I'm finally getting used to going to school every day, again. Now when the first week has passed I'm slowly accepting my fate and actually starting to enjoy some of the classes.We have twice as much work than we had last year, but it's probably for the best. I need to keep myself busy. With thoughts of quitting my cheer leading squad, running through my head,I really need something new to focus on. Like on joining another dance team, where I'd feel like I'm actually dancing for me and not for every other reason.

Well back to the outfit... I was wearing this on Tuesday but I haven't got the chance to upload pictures yet cuz I was sleeping over at boyfriend's place. We had a delicious lunch that day and I even bought some new things to wear (I'll show them tomorrow, I promise :)!!) I'm also hoping on finding some great items in Sienna, does any of you know which shops do they have there? Let me know if you do!!

P.S. Isn't that like the sweetest dog ever? She's a real cutiepie!! I'm going to steal it from my neighbor

Enjoy my lovely readers! Love you all!

In life we always have a choice. A choice to choose beetween right and wrong. A choice to speak for yourself and keep you head high at all cost. A choice to look yourself in the mirror every morning and see somebody beautiful staring back. A choice to care too much or not care at all... Sometimes they turn into mistakes, sometimes they seem to be right, but there is something we cannot deny...
we always learn from them.

My choice? I decided to work on myself. In the last month have pushed my needs and desires back in the dark corner and completely forgot they are still lying there. I have been worrying about other things so much that I have forgottn that they are not my problems at all. They have no bussiness doing in my life so I have put a STOP sign in front of it.

With that cleared out of my life, there seems to be much more room left to breathe and concentrate on things that are important. Including the question that should be constantly kept in my mind.

"WHAT DO I WANT?" With people always telling me what to do, and how to do it, it seems to fade away a bit.

So what do I want in my near future? A bigger wardrobe that's for sure, and a good job that is going to pay for it. Besides that I want to concentrate on my studying and digital drawing (which I have been putting aside all year). Hmmm...I want to improve my German
(I literally do suck) and take a class of Italian language AND cookery (I can't resist eating and cooking pasta).

Oh and I have decided that I am going to visit a spa once in a while and try to squeeze a tai-chi class in my schedule too.
Both to calm my nerves and help me find my inner peace.

Sounds like a great self-improvement plan right? Now all I have to do, is just tick all this things on my list and download some relaxing music (helps me to improve my current mood). So better start soon :)

Outfit post: True friends are a Treasure

2011-10-08T13:08:00.004+02:00

"We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend."
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Sometimes I wonder if I would be better off living on a lonely island. With my own wooden shack, sleeping net wrapped around
two tall palm trees and the sea everywhere in my eye's reach. Away from problems, away from drama, away from people.

In the past few weeks I was thinking all the time, about how many two faced people I know and how many lies they
have told me from the time I have first met them. Saying one thing doing another, gossiping behind my back,
but acting friendly in front of my face.Sometimes I think a monkey would do me a better friend.

I do not know who to trust and who's actually worth half of the attention I pay to them. I'm trying so hard to be nice all the time, not get into fights and be everybody's friend. But all of us know, nobody can do that.

Yea some live to be popular and have friends in all the right places, but I'm sooo over that. I'd rather have a few true friends in all the wrong places than a bunch of fake ones who probably don't even know my real name.I don't know who first said: finding a true friend is like finding a treasure but lately I'm seeing how right he was.

So it got me to thinking ... with who I'd love to share my lonely island if a ship crowded by people I know would have shipwrecked. Out of all those people I'd probably pick out 6 (not counting my family).

Surrounded with these people I'd feel more lucky than finding a buried old pirate chest, filled with gems, somewhere in the sand. (Okay a rum storage room might change my mind. Just kidding only Jack Sparrow has that kind of luck).

Tights,Shorts,Top: H&M Scarf/belt: New Yorker

I confess I got a little bit carried away but you get the my point and that's what matters. Do you guys ever think about all those fake friends in your life like I do? Or am I the only one?

P.S. I think that writing a book would be a nice solution for my imagination problem :D

Have fun dolls,

2011-10-02T19:17:00.003+02:00

So today was the officially last day, I could sleep late. Those days where I could lay in my bed till 11 o'clock, without worrying I'd be late somewhere, are over. Nooooo, I am sooo not a morning person, I need at least 2 cups of coffee before I can fully function or have a normal conversation.

Here is a warning, don't talk to me if I haven't had my coffee yet, I form sentences that no soul on this earth can understand :) I find it so hard getting up early, finding my way to the to the bathroom, brush my teeth,take a shower, put my make up on... well yea it doesn't shound that bad when you do it at normal speed and have at least an hour to spare. But try 15 min!

Because with me, being me... all those actions have to be done at super speed. I always fall back asleep after dismissing my alarm, it's like a disease. Somebody should install a 'ninja mode' button on me seriously... it would make my life so much easier. I might even catch my bus, before the driver closes the door right in front of my face and then laugh because he thinks it is so funny doing that.
(not that it would matter,cuz if I was a ninja I'd just jump on the roof or something)

I hate drivers who close the doors when you know they can clearly see you trying so hard to catch the bus. That's just what happened to me while I was supposed to meet M for coffee. So I was late...again. Typical.
But I'm really trying hard to get rid of that habit. It's so not professional and I hate myself for not being punctual!

Shorts, Belt: H&M Blazer: Zara Top: Forever 21

Besides the crappy driver with that stupid grin on his face,my morning was beyond great. Me and Maja had a wonderful time at Lolita and took these photos afterwards. Check out Maja's blog Dreamland of Sky and Sand for more pictures. She looked fab, and her shoes... oh my gosh so cute! (If I had that ninja button, I bet she wouldn't notice me taking them from her closet :D hehe just kidding as always)

Did I mention my boyfriend is great before? Well apparently I have to add that he is a great PHOTOGRAPHER too, because he did some amazing shots of my outfit last weekend. I know I'm posting this late but it was waiting to be published for about a week and I totally forgot that I didn't schedule an automatic update. But I still totally love the pictures, we came across this old storage house when were walking around neighborhood and it had this great faded green doors which seemed to be the perfect scenery. We were right, don't you think?

Of course we wouldn't be ourselves if we weren't goofing around, so on about a half of the pictures we took, there is me...laughing my head off :D But in this case I agree with e.e. Cummings "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter" That's why I love spending time with my boyfriend, there is never enough of it :).

Random: My little monster

2011-09-30T14:04:00.001+02:00

So i thought it was time that i introduced you to my little monster. His name is Thor. He is completely crazy. (I have a habit of naming my pets after ancient gods, I'm such a weirdo sometimes) and probably the stupidest cat I've ever met. But that's what makes everybody love him, including me. And don't worry he loves himself to. Thinks he's royalty... or a beauty queen,not really sure.But definitely a spoiled little brat.

Yea yea looks all cuddly and cute, but come over my house and you'll change your mind the moment he starts biting,
scratching and jumping on your head (Yea he does that). God forbid you mess his fur,you'll pay dearly for it.
He'll even left a scar or two on your hand, maybe a nasty bite too.

Besides that he's alright, he makes my day a lot more fun. There is so much you can do with him.
Scare him, chase him, fight with him, annoy him, fight with him a little more...Never boring.

But beware the living destruction on 4 paws,because if he's bored he normaly jumps on things just because he can: kitchen table, your head, wall paintings, your leg, his own tail ... but I'm grateful he sleeps most of the time. He's very lazy and probably had to much to eat.

I have a huge problem. I can't get rid of it and it's really annoying.We have this new choreography in my cheer leading squad and the song just doesn't go out of my head. So I'm singing I can be a freak all the time. Well not actually a freak... I changed that part into geek so now I'm shouting under the shower, in the kitchen preparing my breakfast, coloring my nails.... "I can be a geek I can, I can be a geek". It's quite an addictive song. I hate it! Period!

I probably look like Emma Stone in easy A when she's singing that "I've got a pocket full of sunshine" song :D I FEEL YOU GIRL!!!

I'm so happy that days are still warm here in Ljubljana. I take every chance I can get to wear shorts during the day,before it gets dark of course. At night is so cold that I'm wrapped in two blankets and it's still not warm enough.

I have to get used to that I guess... and to those chilly morning, when you'd rather do anything than get out of your warm bed. I'll probably start to place some of my knitwear on my nightstand, so I can quickly wrap it over my pijamas, so I don't freeze on my long journey downstairs and to the kitchen to make some tea or hot coco. Good idea right? I'm a genious :D

Anyway enough about songs and chilly mornings. Since I can't stop singing my 'geek version' I decided I'm going to post some of my old pictures. I already wore this sometime ago but since it's matching my geek mode right now, why not share it with you? "I can I can be a geek", and a very stylish geek too. This silk shirt from Zara I was wearing is awesome! I especially love this side pocket it has. I almost couldn't resist the idea to stuff some of my pens in it for the shoot. But I taught that was almost too nerdish hahah and dropped the whole idea :D

And do you guys see those glasses? They were of course,essential for the stylish nerd look. I was having quite trouble finding the pair for myself, Since ray-ban shape doesn't fit my face (I wanted to buy them once and the store clerk himself said that I looked terrible.) I was so mad back then, but now I know he was right. They do not fit my face at all, I look like a pumpkin.

Shirt: Zara Shorts: H&M Belt: No label Heels: Dorothy Perkins

Buuuut when I almost gave up, I finally found this perfect pair back in Vienna and I was so damn happy. I wear them all the time, I can't believe I didn't get the chance to post some pictures of them yet. And now "I can be a geek I can I can be a geek" (Ugggh I HAVE TO STOP SINGING THAT!!!)

P.s. And I need to change my nail color I keep repainting them black and white all the time. I think I'm addicted.

Enjoy the post, my little style nerds :) Kisses!xx

The end of my vacation time is drawing nearer and nearer. My school begins on Monday and I am so not ready to get up at 7 in the morning again every day. I got used to having a lot of free time, but that's why, it's maybe better that I'll have to study again. I don't know exactly why,but I can organize my time ten times better, if I have really stuffed schedule. Under a tight deadline, with to much to do and too little time to do it, I seem to get better results out of it. It looks like I love to be under pressure because I must do my best in order to succeed. I surprise myself sometimes, I have no idea how my brain works :D

I'm entering this new school year with lot of motivation. I have to work really hard in school in order to get best grades which I need in order to apply to college in Milan. Then there are my cheerleading practices and hopefully hip-hop classes which I have just joined today. Can't wait to begin with them next week. Should be fun!! That's how I keep my stress on the low.When dancing, I cast all my problems away.

Heels, Jeans, Blazer: Zara Necklace: H&M Shirt: Forever 21

I also have to find myself a new job, something in fashion business... I'd love to get some experience in marketing or window styling, so I'll keep that in mind. It would also be cool if some fashion magazine recruited me for their team, but that's much more closer to fantasy than reality :) Improving my blog is on my list too of course. I'm curently working on two new projects: 1) 3 Ways to wear it and 2) Star style outfit. So expect that in the beginning of October. The only thing I'm afraid of is that I won't have that much time to post now, but I'll do my best. Busy, busy, busy... just how I like it.

Cheers, xx

I like my mornings best, if I eat breakfast out, in the city. Sadly Slovenian people don't have that habit and most of them eat at home. That's why I enjoyed Vienna so much, I could sit in their Starbucks forever and eat yummy waffles,croissants, muffins, pies... Oh just the memory of it makes me smile and I can recall that good smell of their morning coffee which I love so much. We should have Starbucks in our capital. If we don't get one in the next couple of years I'm gonna personally write a complaint! How dare they!?

Anyway one of my Ljubljana's fav. places just had to do this chilly morning :) They still have delicious coffee and toast there, so me and my friend J. decided we're gonna pay it a little visit like we would normally do after school. With our new college semester starting soon, we won't have this much time to hang out. We're both pretty busy people so I get super excited when we both have some free time on our schedules.

Because J. likes taking photos and is creative as I am, I asked her if she could take some of my outfit shots. Luckily she agreed and did an amazing job. We took photos while we walked through the park, where she had parked her car. The weather was perfect so we grabbed the opportunity, because who knows when we'll see the sun again in this unpredictable autumn weather.I meshed perfectly with this environment ,s we thought I would, the fallen leaves in the background and everything :)

Blazer,pants, belt: Zara Shirt: H&M Clutch & Rings: Dorothy Perkins

One more thing: when it comes to posing I'm the biggest sucker of all suckers. I get on my own nerves!! I have all poses I want to do in my head before we start shooting...but then I just blank out. I don't know where to put myself, how should I position my arms, no idea what to do with my legs...And have some trouble finding the right angle of my body,so that the pose doesn't seem strange. It's really something I have to work on. Is there any training where you can lean that, by chance :D I'm getting desperate! (Just kidding)
Does any of you have the same problem?

P.S.: I WANT J.'s PANTS!!!

Enjoy the rest of the day, fashion dolls!

Brrrrrrrr, who would have guesses that's already so cold outside when the night falls. I was so grateful of my decision when I picked up a pair of jeans from my closet today. During the day, I can walk around with shorts, and when I add one of my blazers on top it's warm enough :) But when it becomes dark outside, I fear I'll someday freeze to death, because one of my 'smart outfit decisions'.

The outfit today was pretty casual. Jeans,cute top and a white blazer over all. I have literally just pulled things out of my closet,
because I was already late + I had to do some quick outfit shots,too!

Everything seen here is from Zara, except belt which is Forever 21 & I don't remember from where the bangles are...mixed probably

This is my trick for (what I like to call them) 1 minute outfits, like mine today. I just throw on a pair of comfy jeans, top with interesting details, a blazer to add an elegant touch,some accessories, my favourite heels and I'm done. Simple, quick and still fashionable, Perfect recipe for cute outfit when you're late for school (like ME usually), or when you're in a rush to go from one place to another and don't really have time to over think your outfit. And Voilà c'est fini!

Lookbook: Sosie

I'm sharing another lookbook you guys, this time it's from Sosie (which I totally toooootaaaalllllyyyy love). This first picture with electric blue blazer and leopard scarf= AH-MAZING! I'm surprised about their use of mostly white and minimalistic background. When I saw it I was like: waaaait I could do something like that too! It's so simple: white and yet elegant - perfect for outfit shots in your own apartment (with the right lightning of course). I just HAVE to pimp my wall like that! Add some pictures in the back, a clothes stand maybe and oh-lala :I'm ready for some self shooting . I'm telling you it's the perfect idea for that crisis times when my photographers aren't available for some reason :D

Wow I can't believe my reader list has just hit the number 100. How cool is that! It really made my day you guys. I want to thank you all for supporting my 'baby' blog. It has come as such a surprise AND pleasure, having a great response from you my lovely followers.

It doesn't feel like 3 months at all to be honest. I feel like I'm doing this forever and it is something I'd love to do forever. So I'm going to continue writing hoping that I will get better every day, because I have much more to show you guys.

Some of people say that I am very intuitive and creative person. My teacher told me once:
"If you can put those traits together you can form an incredible outcome Anamarija. You have to spend more time improving many of your talents. You may not be born to do math, but you really have something to give to the world"

This particular sentence comes to my head every time when I feel without any inspiration.
It reminds me that I can do anything if I just decide that I'm willing to work hard for it.

And I have decided to put all this work into my blog. It's going great so far at least from where I'm standing.
It's a place where I can unleash my creativity, my love for writing, photography, fashion, art, beauty, inspiration and so much more.
It's my own little heaven and glad that I'm sharing it with you.
If you love to peek in it and come back to see more, that's the greatest gift you can give me.

You my readers, you make me smile :)

Everything is H&M except the shirt which is from Topshop

So thank you for reading! xx

Wishlist: Dresses with cutout back

2011-09-22T11:54:00.000+02:00

Sometimes I wonder if I spent to much time at ASOS? When I come to the site I can't help myself I just click all over the place and fill my bag with million things. And when I look at the price of everything I wish I'd somehow win the lottery over night and woke up rich.

That would help a great deal when picking out one of this dresses. If I was a millionaire I'd just take them all. Problem solved. You see I really need a party dress, but not a normal party dress, nooo. I have decided in my stubborn mind that it just has to have a cut-out back. And look where it got me....I can't decide :D Darlings, I could use your help. Which one is your favorite!?

Let me know! xx :)

I know many of you have already seen the lookbook of Planet Blue but I just came across the pictures when I was rearranging files on my computer. They still take my breath away although I've seen them way too many times. The thing is, they are just too inspirational. The poses, the stylings, the clothes. And that rustic old orange color, oh, the model looks drop dead gorgeous in it. LOVE! I want my blog pictures to look JUST LIKE THAT! One day... someday... :D

Random: Rainy days

2011-09-19T18:53:00.003+02:00

Seriously what's with the weather today? It raining heavily and it got cold in a blink of an eye. I was really excited about long sunny week and I was hoping that another one like that is yet to come, but no luck so far. Because I don't like to wander around town and get all wet when the weather all shitty (pardon the expression), I wrapped myself in a nice warm cozy blanket, with a cup of hot coco in my hand and decided to start reading good old Nicolas Sparks again.

There is nothing else I can really do, but watch movies, read books and update my blog when the rain pours down all day. I used to draw all the time in high school but now when I actually study design, I know I will have to draw all the time soon enough; so I don't really feel like picking up a pencil before I really have to. If you know what I mean.

But on the other hand, rainy days really are a good time to think; sitting on the window pain, watching the raindrops slide down the glass really make me clear my mind. There is so much stuff going in my life right now, that don't even deserve my attention and I really have to focus on the things that are important to me and which love doing - Get my priorities straight. Get rid of all the wrong people and drama from my life. They do nothing else but bring complications that I really don't need right now.

I hope the weather gets better tomorrow, so I can do some outfit shots :)

Yummylicious: We love to order Chinese!

2011-09-16T19:17:00.003+02:00

So after a successful exam (got the top grade :D yaay) it was only appropriate to celebrate in some way with my brother and sister. However we didn't toast with champagne but ordered Chinese food instead. With our parents in Vienna till Sunday we can afford being lazy and not cook by ourselves :) as much as I LOVE COOKING, it's always nice to have somebody to cook for you, or take you out to a romantic dinner (however sadly I didn't have that chance yet)

Forgive me for blogging almost every 3 hours today, but I must have caught some blog'o-fever. I have this urge to write and ideas keep popping in my head constantly. A bit annoying actually!

Buuuuuut I promise I won't post again till tomorrow :D hugs & kisses

New In: Think green!

2011-09-16T14:14:00.001+02:00

I don't know what's with me and green color lately :) Almost everything I like in shops is green! Maybe it's because I know the leaves will soon start falling down and change color and I won't see spring until the season of winter wonderland is over.

I purchased this creamy green shirt and dark green trousers in Zara the other day. I've seen these items when I was in Vienna but I didn't want to spend too much money on the first day,because I still didn't know how much I'll have to spend for my food and stuff.

It turned out to be the right choice since they had both shirt and jeans in stock when I got back home. So I bought them now. The only thing I didn't find is this golden kimono and I really hope we get them in stores soon cuz I really really want one.

One more thing, I need to mention how much I love these Zara price tags. Aren't they cute?!! I started to think about getting my own business 'blog' cards and that's exactly how I want them to be. Simple, minimalistic and elegant :)

I still have time to think about that but guess what?
I have finally decided how stardust and logo will look like. The only thing I have left to do now is vectorize it in Photoshop.With no practice all summer, I feel like I've gotten a little numb with the whole drawing thing. But first things first, I have one more exam to finish and then I'll start designing!

Wish me luck today!
xoxo,

Outfit post: We do it with style!

2011-09-16T11:49:00.002+02:00

There is nothing more fun than meeting fellow bloggers for coffee. Loads of fashion talk, laughter and fun! Of course there just has to be a photo shoot of our outfits after wards. It's an absolute MUST!

Some of you will recognize lovely Maja from Dreamland of sky and sand and for those who don't know her yet, make sure to check out her blog by clicking on this link. She has super cute style and super cute blog. I can already feel she'll make it far someday :)

Since I have a rule, more photos = less text, enjoy all the pics I've posted!

Outfit post: I just love flower prints!

2011-09-14T23:05:00.001+02:00

So I didn't make all 14 days in black and white .Ooops, but then again to be honest I never expected I'd last so long in black and white either. I came to the conclusion that color is my thing and my sister was right. I do have more fun when I pair colors and match colorful things. Also I can't get enough of detailed outfits, patterns and flower prints. Typical me.

I can't believe it got so hot in Ljubljana again, like summer forgot something and came back for a few more days.
But no matter, you don't hear me complaining at all.

I shoved most of my shorts in the back of my closet already and yesterday I pulled them out again with a big grin on my face, just like I just found 100€ in my back pocket. Which wouldn't be bad at all. But then again I'd get so happy that I'd look like a crazy retart laughing to myself like I have invented a time machine...or find a penguin in my room (waaaay cooler)

Top & Denim shorts: Forever 21 Vest: Topshop Heels: Zara

Enough of my twisted humor and back to the outfit. I found this gorgeous cardi at topshop almost 1 year ago but I always have a hard time pairing it with other things. It a very specific deep blue color and I can't find a pair of jeans to match. I've been trying so hard to find them, but no luck so far. But it does look good with jeans in lighter color; it's not exactly how I imagine wearing it at first, but I do like it now though.

Stay tuned for some photos of me and my friend Maja who now also has a a blog (I'll link to it the first thing tomorrow) We had some coffe in the morning and then took some gorgeous pictures in the city. I can't wait to show them to you.

Till then, I love you all xoxo,
