This morning I woke up to a text, and one of the first words that I read was "snow". Yup, in case you didn't know by now, it snowed in Zagreb, and as happy as some people are about it, I am not. I love watching the snow fall while I'm somewhere inside, but as soon as I have to set my foot out the door, I hate it. Thus, I decided to reminisce about when it was a bit warmer outside and share with you this outfit that Luka and I shot more than a month ago. 


As you can see, I was fighting against autumn making colours die by wearing a bright red puffy jacket from Pull&Bear, and matching it with my heart shaped sunglasses, because the world looks much cooler when it's all red. This polka dotted bodice is from Zara, and this black denim skirt is as well, but I have to admit, I really do have a thing for dots recently. 





These amazing black suede block heel ankle booties are from ShoeBox, and they're an amazing model for these autumn days, when it's sunny and not snowing. My bag is vintage, aka I got it from my grandma's closet, and these sunglasses are from Wish (because it doesn't have to be expensive to look good). In case you were wondering, yes - I am wearing a grey lipstick, it's from MAC and the lipliner is from Nyx Cosmetics. 




I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone lately because I can see how deeply I have fallen into it, and I feel like this look is a big push out for me, kind of excited to see what else I'll come up with in the future.

If you've taken a walk recently, or at least looked outside your window, you could've noticed that a new season is here. And even though autumn is the season of nature slowly dying and everything fading, there are so many things to look forward to and some that are just starting, like a new year and semester at University. I am still not sure whether I'm excited about the latter, considering how hectic the last one was, but what I am excited about are all the cups of tea I get to sip now, either hidden under my blanket bingewatching some TV show or sitting in some cute coffee shop with my friends. 


These days between summer and autumn are always confusing to me because I never truly know what weather to dress for. It's usually really cold in the mornings and evenings, but around noon you regret wearing more than one layer. What I always found to be the perfect thing to wear during these transitional days is a leather jacket, so last month I went on a quest of finding myself a new one because my old one was all worn out. After many hours spent scrolling through online shops & window shopping, I found my perfect one at Pull&Bear, a black leather jacket which is cropped at the waist, has a belt and a side zipper. Nothing too detailed, but detailed just enough. 

 In order to avoid a fight with my "all black" loving inside voice, I paired it with a minimalistic midi-length black dress from Zara, which with its wool blend mix and length is made for this type of weather. As it was one those coffee date in the morning, lectures in the afternoon type of days, I had my new Nike sack bag on, because I am always amazed at how many things fit inside it. 






What makes this outfit stand out, and also quite noticeable (a friend of mine recognised me on the street only because I had them on), are these amazing sneakers that I got at ShoeBox. Lately, I've been obsessed with everything pink, and when I saw these holographic yellow-pink ones I just knew I had to have them. They make even the most boring outfit pop and they bring colour into this dulness that autumn is all about.

When everything else fails, just wear an all black outfit - life motto. In my last few posts I wrote about finally giving colours a chance and it was great, truly, but something about black always has me coming back to it. Maybe it's its comfort, elegance and beauty, and maybe it's just me feeling most comfortable in it. Whatever it is, you can't deny that all black outfits don't look sleek and cool, even in hot weather.


This cute see-through top is actually thrifted, it can both be worn normally or off-shoulder (I think it's apparent which one I like more) and the pattern on it is what got me to buy it in the first place because it looks like a mix of florals and lace. I've had this black midi skirt from Reserved for quite some time, and the pleading on it is what makes it stand out the most, plus it's not super tight and the material is quite light making it perfect for summer. Even though this is an all black outfit, the different patterns is what makes it so interesting and that is the key to nailing a one colour ootd.




I don't know what is it about shoes with heels/platforms, but they just make you feel like you run the world. These black sandals are by Carrano and I got them at ShoeBox, and not only did I fall in love with them as soon as I saw them because they're stunning, they're also super comfortable! It's a win-win situation with these. This black bag with embroidered flowers is from Mango and it's become one of my favourite ones, mostly because it can make a dull outfit look so much better instantly. Also, I think I may have an early case of a bag addiction, but we'll see. Because you know, my bags and shoes always go together.

It doesn't happen often, but I was so excited to shoot this look as I feel it almost perfectly shows what my style is - vintage and alternative with a bit of an attitude. Plus, lately I've been trying to push myself out of a shopping "comfort zone" so I've been buying a lot more coloured clothing than ever before.. let's just see how I'll be able to pull it off haha.


As you all know, I am a big fan of just plain black and white clothing, but recently I've noticed I really want to wear red. Why? No idea. But thus, I bought some brand new sandals and a bag and I'm feeling spring ready.

In this look I am wearing my new white bodysuit with black dots from Zara which I fell in love with as soon as I laid my eyes on it. It's so simple but it has this vintage vibe around it that I just adore. These black mom jeans are also from Zara, and my black blazer is from Stradivarius.




How cute is this bag and sandals combo? I knew I had to but this bag as soon as I saw it in Mango because the material and the colour is almost identical to the ones on these super cute sandals which I got at ShoeBox. Plus, as this is a black and white outfit, this colour really pops.

Also, what do you guys think about me with straight hair? Every time I go to Toni&Guy and they straighten it, I always leave the salon just feeling myself. I know that my natural curly hair is cute, but this always gives a bit of a bad bitch vibe hehe.

After a bit more than a month of no blogposts I caught myself just staring at my laptop unable to think of a proper introduction to this outfit post. Lately, everything has just been too busy for me to focus on the things that actually make me happy - blogging. And no, I won't make any excuses or try to say "but this is gonna change" because honestly, I can't promise anything. Sometimes, things just get in the way and sometimes I just want to lay in bed all day and binge watch shows and movies (also, I just watched Baby Driver - y a s !), and yes, that is a big flaw I have and one that I never hide.  I mean, it took me half an hour of scrolling through Instagram just to make myself write these last two sentences. So, if anyone has any advice on how to motivate yourself and stop procrastinating, hmu, I really need help.


In other news, definitely a better one, the weather for these last few days has been nothing but amazing, so I've just been wearing skirts and dresses. This super cute metallic one is from Mango and it's perfect for summer because it's so light and flowy. To tone it down a bit, I decided to wear my new black crop sweater from Romwe.




For the details of this look, tbh the most important part are these beautiful orange roses Irma got me, and I couldn't be happier about them, ty babe! Other than that, I am finally wearing these beautiful black sandals with pearl details which I got at ShoeBox. They are quite fancy but still kind of casual, and they look so good. The rings are a mix from here and there, and this cute leather backpack is from Mango.

I put so many of their designs on my wish list, I love how you can choose from so many safe choices you know are going to match every outfit, but at the same time FSJ Shoes have some very colorful and modern designs which you know are going to make you outfits pop!
