This weekend I decided to treat myself with a long needed weekend get away trip, and I couldn't have chosen better than visiting my friend Luka in Porec. 3 days in one of the prettiest towns on the coast that I've been to, spent doing what we all want to do when summer finally arrives - hanging out on balconies, drinking cool drinks, swimming and of course, taking really cool photos.

For this Sunday morning stroll around the Porec I wore this cute pastel pink denim skirt overalls from Mango (and they have pockets!!) paired with a plain white crop top from H&M. As summer is here it is quite hot outside so I just wanted to go light and short. Something that I absolutely adore about these overalls is the cute ring detail it has on the back, and of course - the colour. You just can't go wrong during summer with pastel pink.

For the details, I wanted this look to be simple because when I'm at the seaside I consider it my relaxation time so I never overdo any of my outfits, try to keep it light and wear as less jewelery as possible. Thus, I have no other accessories other than this cute fake leather bag which I got at Mango and these sunglasses that I borrowed from Luka. And I don't know about you guys, but this look is summer to me.

This day is probably one of my favourite days of this year so far - morning spent having my hair done at Toni&Guy (check them out, they're amazing! <3), afternoon spent on a shoot and coffee with my dear Donovan & a concert in the evening. Kinda wishing every week had a day like this, sure did make me feel happy & special.

Honestly, I am in love with this outfit and I feel like it represents the style I always go for - vintage with a touch of alternative. The absolute statement piece of this outfit is my Grandma's old fur coat, which only is the warmest, but it's also the best looking piece of outerwear that I have. My shirt is just a basic black tee from H&M and this skirt is a (really good) thrift shop find! It used to be longer, but I had it shortened, and now I looove it.

This super cute white fake leather bag is from Mango and I love how complimentary it is with the pattern of the skirt. I am also wearing a choker from Pull&Bear, because no, I will not let chokers die & love how the look okay. The shoes are of course my fav Vans, which are perfect with basically any outfit.

As exam season is creeping on me, I decided to treat myself to a full day out in the city to relax a bit for all the upcoming stress, because that is a logical thing to do... right? I am a full believer of "treat-yo-self" moments, and for me that means teas at cute places, new hairdo's, window shopping, hanging out with friends, and of course, a shoot.

As we had a few warm days I just had to wear my old pink coat again. I love the shape of it, and it is one of the rare things in my closet that isn't black or white.. On that note, I am also wearing a plain white top from H&M and highwaisted jeans from Stradivarius.

Something that I really wanted to share with you is that I've become an ambassador for Toni&Guy and they're responsible for this super cute hair do! If you need to get your hair done, go visit them at their salon at Gajeva Street, you will not regret it. And check out their Instagram and Facebook page as well, they're amazing & deserve a follow. <3

For the details, I wore my ankle high boots from H&M, which are a must have model if you ask me. If you've been reading my posts, you know that this bag is my grandma's and I still wear it all the time as a model like that never really goes out of style. And as for the necklaces, Primark. I can never go in without buying at least one piece of jewelry.

Let's get real here, is there any other way to spend a Saturday with your best friend than eating pancakes for breakfast, cycling to the city, visiting an art exhibition and eating sushi & drawing while sitting on the grass in the middle of the town? Well, for me that is perfect. Especially when you know those are some of some of your friend's last days in you hometown.

What I decided to wear for this "out in the city" type of day is a casual almost all black outfit. My new crop top from Tobi finally arrived, and it's a beautiful shirt with bell sleeves and a cute red-purple floral pattern. To keep it kind of simple and casual, I out on my black high waisted shorts from H&M, which are my go-to item during these hot summer days.

Considering accessories, I decided to be simple and, as usual, put on my black choker from Pull&Bear, and to add a few simple golden rings from Primark. The shoes are my all time fav old school Vans, they go well with everything, and are such a must have item in everyone's closet.

Nothing better than that one colder week in August when you can finally take a break from the heat and jump back into those shoes and blazers that you love, without melting. It was finally enjoyable to be out, and so I went to the city of mine and finally met a fellow blogger whose fan and follower I've been for years, the lovely Ana from Psycho Couture! I couldn't have wished for a better Saturday coffee (read that as cocktail) company. <3

I was finally able to wear layers, and oh my was I happy about it. Also, I finally took my new sparkling skirt from Mango for a walk, I love the cut and the color of it, as it goes well with both black and white. On top of that I wore a simple black crop top from Primark and one of my go to items, a long black blazer from H&M (it has pockets, everything that has pockets is a must buy.)

For the accessories, I put on my black choker from Pull&Bear, as well as stacked some golden, white and black bracelets, some from H&M, and some collected on trips as memories. To match the black vibe of the outfit, I wore my black ankle boots from Pull&Bear, perfect for this type of mixed weather. The bag I have is from H&M, and the ring is from Primark.
