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.

Hello March and hello another Bipa Fashion.hr Fashion week! This season I had the honour of attending 3 days of shows - the second, fourth and sixth. As always, I had a great time, so if you want to see more, just keep reading.

day 2.

This year a few designers threw in a little twist - they didn't have a regular show, they each had a different "performance". The designers that showcased their new collections were Unaesthetic, Morana Krklec, Mirjana Cigić and Ivana Janjić. I had the pleasure of attending this night with my fellow blogger and dear friend Marija (@mariahs_chambers), it is always a great day when she's around. <3

My favourites from this day were Unaesthetik, who displayed a very chic yet unique collection of black clothing made from very interesting materials which draped beautifully, and Ivana Janjić, with a very modern black (and white) unisex collection.

My outfit for the second day of this season's fashion week was quite simple as I was pretty busy that day. I wore my new black mom jeans which I got at Zara with a vintage oversized blouse which I stole from my Grandma (oopsie, ty grandma). The bag is from Mango and I absolutely love the embroidery on it. The shoes are my ankle boots from Pull&Bear, and the coat is from Zara. For my curly hair, all the credits go to Toni&Guy Salon, they always have my back.

day 4.

For day four (and six) I was accompanied by my dear friend Donovan (@uniqueyeah), and this time there was a catwalk. 

The openers for the fourth day were Mates, a Serbian duo who displayed quite of a yugo-nostalgic collection with very cute and feminine pieces, as well as some strong ones, all in bright colours and glitter. My personal favourite was their purple glittery oversized hoodie with "Yugoslovenka" written on it, I seriously need that. Asap.

Jelena Holec gave us a new look on elegance with her collection of draped evening dresses and two piece sets with many asymmetric details and floral prints, which she mixed with pearls, lace and tulle details, perfect for the softness that spring is bringing.

This season Anthony Avangard gave us a collection inspired by Nikola Tesla, in which he displayed both male and female clothes. He stayed true to himself with very loose and oversized clothing, as well as his staple socks with A's on them. By combining monotone clothing with some shimmery pieces as well as space inspired prints, he showed us a very modern and youthful collection.

Up next was Price on Request with a very interesting fashion forward collection made by deconstructing old clothes into new ones. Their colour palette was a mix of monotone and bold, as well as their use of completely different materials which they layered and combined together. A great look into the future of fashion.

Price on Request
My favourite show of the day was by Twins, whose collection inspired by Slavonija and safari absolutely stunned me. They had many beautiful mid length dresses with amazing prints and colours which fitted their models just right, displaying how flowy they truly are. My favourite pieces were the blue and white dress (pic below) and the embroidered two piece set, but honestly, I want to own 90% of this collection. 



Twins
For this day I decided to go with an all black outfit, so I pulled out my new skirt from Mango and a crop top from Pull&Bear. As it was still cold outside I needed an extra layer so I just threw this long blazer from H&M on. For the shoes, these are the Jessica Simspon sandals which I fell in love with as soon as I saw them this month at ShoeBox. My bag is from H&M as well, and the sunglasses are from Wish.


day 6.

The openers for the last night of Fashion.hr were Arileo. With their newest collection they displayed a very bohemian range of beautiful and flowy summer dresses, from both pastels to vibrant colours with beautiful prints on them. Most of their clothing was either pleated or draped so it looked flawless as the models were walking down the runway.

Arileo
Marina Design was up next, and her collection was full of loose clothing and mostly black and white clothing, and a few blue pieces. Some of these had really intricate patterns in the front, lifting the whole line a bit. 

The third brand of night was Mateyaneira with their first show at Bipa Fashion.hr. These girls wowed us with their take on the "business woman" aesthetic, showing us how fashionable two piece suits and coats can be. Definitely a great start for this young duo.

The most colourful and "summery" show of the season was by far BiteMyStyle by Zoran Aragović, a man who is not afraid of playing with both colour and prints, mixing them in a way only a few can. From swim suits to long evening dresses, this collection played with colour blocking and ruffles, prints on prints, making every piece unique. 

BiteMyStyle
And, for the cherry on top, my favourite Croatian designers - Klisab. These boys always amaze me with their collections, and this one was no different. For this season they put together a collection of feminine clothes in muted colours with twists - metallic buttons, asymmetric details and deconstructed edges. Their collection had a feel of both chic and powerful, basically everything that a modern woman needs and wants (as well as me). It is clear to see how well they know their fabrics and cuts, making simple designs so much more than what we would originally think of them. So, congrats once again on a wonderful show, and can't wait to see how much more you'll grow and develop.



Klisab
What I wore for the last day was my black Nike hoodie paired with my black pleated skirt from Reserved. The best part of this outfit are definitely the white socks with my new pink glittery sandals which I got at Bershka, paired with my pink glittery backpack from Pull&Bear. And yes, I adore black AND pink glitter, get used to it. And if you're as obsessed as I am with my straight hair, check out Toni&Guy Salon as they made absolute magic. Love them so much.




Aaand that would be it, let me know what you think about these shows! And see you again next season. <3

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.
