My week in pictures

So let's just say that this week has been sooo lovely! Just the fact that it was sunny all the time and that I started working out more, took time to meet up with friends and still managed to get all of my other stuff done is an accomplishment in itself :) It's amazing what a little sun can do to a persons well-being and how much new motivation it can bring. I hope you had a great week and that you did something that you wanted to do for a long time but were too afraid to do ;)
Here's my week in pics:

1. A goodbye picnic for a dear friend that moved to London.

2. Chai latte and they actually had it with soy milk which made my day :)

3. Spring ootd-loving my deep coral pants

4. New leopard shoes form H&M 

1. Enjoying the sun

2. View of Ljubljana from the Skyscraper cafe

3. Chocolate raw cake with goji berries <3

September Favorites

So a month has already passed and I was so busy that I don't know when that happend :) Here are my monthly favorites:

Favorite moment of the month?

 - Learning I was accepted into my Master’s degree! Now I’ve already started with my classes and I have to say I’m really happy with them :) 

And the second favorite moment was definitely our trip to  HVAR which is now one of my favorite summer destinations! You can check out the pictures here (Saying Goodbye To Summer)

Favorite book?

 

Sophie Kinsela- I've Got Your Number

Laughed my ass off! :)

Favorite movie?

-          The Perks of Being A Wallflower

Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. I've been wanting to watch it for sooo long and when I finally did I feel in love with it. I also love the soundtrack; it has some cool songs on it. The movie is basically of anyone that ever felt like they didn't belong or just wanted to change something about themselves or their life. I highly recommend it!

Favorite fashion find?

-          A small but big bag (if you know what I mean ;)) that I got from six and I actually featured on my previous blog post. It’s silver and I can put everything I need in it and it was only 8€!!

Favorite make up or hair product?

  Crème Puff pressed powder from Max Factor

It’s really light on my skin, still offers the right amount of coverage and doesn’t clog up my pores which is always a good thing

Favorite Quote?

A year of inspiration

So since I consider September to be my "New Year" resolutions month, I have made some decisions about the year that is coming. I really want to change some things and most of all I want to live a little. So one of the changes I'm gonna make is becoming better at my new passion which is graphic design and photography. Its really sad that you find your true calling so late but the least you can do is put as much effort into becoming better at it as you can. Next thing is trying new things. I realized that you learn the most about yourself when you are faced with a new challenge and that is why i want to try as many new things as possible! Find a new passion, do something I've been afraid to do for a long time, say YES to more things and most of all, meet new people! You learn so much from new friends and they introduce you to so many new experiences and opportunities.

One of the most important things in my year of inspiration has to be traveling. I am so passionate about traveling but in connection to my anxiety problems find it hard sometimes. The amount of phicological preparation it takes me to get on a plane is insane! But I have some must have destinations i have to visit in the next year:
-Rome: even though I've been before and didn't like it, I want to go again and view it with different eyes.
-London: I've been like 8times but it's absolutely my favorite European city and I'm so in love with it that I'm seriously thinking about moving there.
-Milan: Fashion, fashion, fashion!!
-Bali and Gili: My boyfriends parents are thinking about moving there and Bali has been a must-have destination of mine for so long so it would be kind of stupid of me not to go :)
- Sweden or Norway: I've never been so that just seems reason enough :)


And the last thing i want to achieve is stop being afraid. Get over my anxiety and depression and realize that my life is in my hands. Even if you believe you're not on the right path, its in your hands or should I say feet :) to change that path. Although I talk a good talk, in reality I'm still not aware of this so it would be just super duper if I coud become aware of this im ny year of inspiration :)

So thats about it. Of course I want to continue to write my blog, gain more readers and maybe, just maybe inspire someone.

Xoxo,

August Favorites

Ok, so September is here, saying goodbye to summer although I hope we still get to enjoy some "Hot summer days" in September too. I thought I'd do a monthly favorites for the fist time, just because it seems like a fun thing to do. So I'm gonna do it... And I can't wait... So here we go... :)

Favorite moment of the month?

- Just in general spending time with my friends, catching up and making plans for the future :)

Favorite book?

I've read so many books this summer but my favorite in August was The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. I loved it because it reminded me of my old job (same environment, same "healthy-food" obsessed people and the same feeling of having to work there for just a little longer! And of course the book is filled with fashion which is always a plus for me :)

Favorite movie?

- The Great Gatsby-yeah it was my favorite movie of August but I didn't really get to watch a lot of movies last month and in general Gatsby was a little bit disappointing. Maybe I was hyped about it too much since I heard so many good reviews but it was just a good movie, one that you don't think about after it's finished.

Favorite fashion find?

- So I've wanted this jacket ever since I saw it on Vanessa Paradise but they never had my size :( and then one time I walk into H&M and go to the SALE area (which is where I feel like home) and see this jacket, not in my size but still in a size that looks good on me :) and on sale!! My but was clpping with joy all the was to the cashier :)

 

Favorite make up or hair product?

- I bought the Pantene Aqua Light Nourishing Mask and I love it! It makes my hair soft and it smells amazing. Although I'm currently looking for something to really hydrate my hair since the sun and the sea have ruined the living daylights out of it :) Any suggestions??

Favorite Quote?

- "Whatever makes you feel bad, leave it. Whatever makes you smile, keep it."

XoXo,

**The Liebster award**

So something really wonderful happened :) I was actually nominated for the Liebster award by My Fair Lala I first of all I just have to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH :) It really means a lot to me since I'm a new blogger and this is such a good opportunity for new blogs to be acknowledged and meet other bloggers :)

The Leibster award is given out by fellow bloggers to help them connect and be blog friends, and is given to blogs with under 200 followers. You are nominated by another blogger, answer some of their questions (which is always fun) and then you get to nominate some other blogs that you find interesting and want other people to enjoy them! 


Rules: 

• Thank the lovely who nominated you by linking them back and shouting them out. 

• Answer the 11 questions your nominee has given to you.

• Pick 9-10 other bloggers with under 200 followers to nominate for the award and let them know about it by going to their blogs and telling them.

• Come up with 11 new questions to ask those who you nominate.

Here are the questions from My Fair Lala:

1) What is your favourite accessory? 

Definitely necklaces. I've fallen in love with them in the past year because I've realized that you can completely restyle a very dull outfit with the right necklace.

2) How would you describe your style in 5 words?

Chic, comfortable, girly, casual and "felingoftheday-ish" :)

3) Who is your favourite artist/band at the moment?

I've found so many cool bands recently that I'm madly in love with a few :) Love Emily and the Woods and Observer Drift, but also anything that is current and has a good beat :)

4) Whose style do you find inspirational?

I just generally like anyone that is visually in love with fashion. I love it when I browse other blogs and see a style combination that I would have never came up with myself! I personally love "accessible fashion" which means you can feel fashionable for a reasonable price. Not everybody is loaded with shopping money :)

5) What is your favourite colour lipstick?

Dark red and fuchsia pink

 

6) If could choose 1 make-up brand to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Going with the whole accessible style policy, I have to go with CATRICE. I love their products and adore their prices! 

 

7) If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

On one hand I would be a seagull since I could just sore over the sea and watch the sunset every day. But on the other hand, I would also be a dog since I believe they are capable to love in a way even humans can't :)

8) What is your favourite thing about blogging?

Expression what I feel, getting to know a whole new community of bloggers and finally doing something I was too afraid to do for too long.

9) Which is your favourite blog to read?

This depends on the day I'm having. But I love just randomly browsing and landing on blogs I've never read before.

10) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?

You can't expect me to name just one! Bali because of its beautiful beaches and sunsets, New York because I've always believed that is where I belong, Montreal because I want to revisit every place I loved as a child and India because I'm in desperate need of a cultural shock!

11) What is your best beauty tip?

Garnier BB cream.. love the living bits of this thing! :) 

My questions for the lovely bloggers:) :

1) Outfit you feel most beautiful in?

2) Worst beauty product you ever bought?

3) A place you've already traveled to and would go again in an instant?

4) Best piece of clothing?

5) If you could live in any part of history, what would it be?

6) Best song for Autumn?

7) Flats or heels?

8) Best book you ever read and why?

9) What made you smile recenty?

10) What makes you proud of yourself?

11) Your favorite quote?

 And I nominate these blogs for the **Liebster Award**:

Being yourself

Hello Doves,

So I've never really written such a personal post but I really think I should get this out of me. I've had a real struggle in being myself for quite some time now, the main problem being the fact that I'm not able to find myself. All my life I've been designed to follow rules, to obey a system that basically led me from elementary through high school and to the end of college. And now this system is broken among other things due to the fact that I realized, that if I plan to follow this system for the rest of my life, I wont live even a bit. But the feeling of being lost, without any clue where to go from here, where to find yourself, is getting to me.
But still I am positive about the future, believing I will find myself, I will find my passion and I will begin to LIVE. That was one of the reasons I started this blog, because it was something I wanted for such a long time, but was too afraid I have nothing to offer. But I guess sometimes you just have to do things that scare you the most in order to get life-changing moments in your life.
SO what I'm trying to say is, don't be afraid. Don't ever let anybody let you feel that what you accomplished in life is worthless and even more important, learn to love yourself! I'm trying to do this for the first time in my life and it's gonna take a lot of time but I truly believe that accepting myself for who I am will eventually be the most life changing moment of my life!


Love being YOU**

Give Me A Summer To Remember

So here are some items I would really love to take with me on my summer vacation! And let me just say that this is a very narrowed down list since I could choose probably about a million pieces :) I think that every summer should start with an amazing swimsuit for during the day and a sexy dress for during the night. Great shoes don't hurt at all;) Since the weather since now has been very weird to say the least (sun and hot at one moment, freezing and raining the next), one item on my list includes long sleeves and I absolutely love it since it always feels good to say fu*k once in a while. The accessories just make the list complete! Guess it's time for shopping now :)

Found all items on Fashionlista, check it out!

And Breathe, Just Breathe...

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button now,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe...

The sun has come up after almost a week of bad weather which included rain, cold and in some places around Slovenia even SNOW!! Snow in May?? Anyway, so the first thing one must do the first time she sees the sun is wear a skirt or a dress and that is what I did. Right now I'm really praying for warm weather cause I don't think I can handle another day of rain...

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Words Will Kindle Your Heart

So there comes a time when you just need some motivation. And this is the time! So here is a collection of only some of my favorite quotes at the moment, that I believe are going to give me the push I need to take my life in the right direction. They combine all of the things important to me, Travel, Change, Fashion, Life and Letting go. Letting go of all the bad thoughts, bad friends that feed off your good energy, bad situations that you've been in for far too long and instead taking a leap of faith. Hope these quotes help at least a bit ;)

A Positive Mind For A Positive Life

When so many things in your life change and you are trying so hard to figure out where your life is going and where you belong, the best thing you can do is have a positive outlook on life. Say YES to more things, try things you never thought you would and most of all do stuff you were always too afraid to do. It may be hard a first but remember that in the end you always regret the things you didn't do, not the things you did ;)

Budapest in Autumne

So I went to Budapest, Hungary this past fall but I managed to lose the photos and I only found them now :) So here are some photo memories of the trip which was filled with fog (and I'm talking about the kind of fog that make it impossible to see you own feet!!), new places, a beautiful lake, a town where nothing but the McDonald's was open and a TV the size of my palm :) But still, with good company and just the fact that you are going somewhere where you haven't been before, any road trip is amazing!
