This weeked was super fun, well at least the Saturday. If you forget about the two hours during which I had to stand in a church, you could say I had a great time as I was a Godmother at my friend Bianka's Confirmation! I felt honored and was so pleased to be there and I eat some pretty damn good cakes after it, so I was satisfied. 

What I wore was a white dress with lace from H&m and on top a black soft blazer from Stradivarius. The sandals are from Bata and the watch is my Grandma's, the necklace is handmade, and by that I mean I bought a mineral and put a wire around it so I could wear it. The whole outfit is kinda layed back but still formal enough for a Confirmation, especially for a Godmother.

Spring has begun, and so has the bike riding season! For the last couple of days I've been going to school by bike, it's much faster than by bus, and you kinda feel good about yourself when you actually do it. And also, something amazing happened the other day.. The temperature was above 25, and man, was I happy. This time of the year is definitely my favourite and I just hope I just can't wait till I'm able to go out without a jacket and not freeze to death.

The blazer I'm wearing is a woolen one from Zara. The shirt, which has mesh sleeves, and the pettite jeans are from Forever 21. Vans, as always, kinda add the pop punk vibe to the whole outfit.

And here it finally is, part III. of the shoot Adela and I had weeks ago. If you haven't seen part I. and part II. yet, please do, so you at least have an idea about what's going on. 

The third location at which we shot was not even planned, we were going to get coffee and then we saw the railways and had an idea to get up there, and so we did, and we found cool looking windows, and we made a couple of photos. Some of these photos are my favourite photos of me ever, so yeah, I guess you could say that I really liked this photoshoot. 

I would just like to say thank you to Adela once again to actually having the courage to ask me whether she could take photos of me and a good job to me for stepping out of my comfort zone and saying 'yes'. Good job. 

You may or may not have noticed that there is a special bond between me and Saturdays. I am still not sure what it is that makes us so close, the feeling of calmness, enthusiasm and pure happiness I guess. Well, this Saturday was an amazing Saturday. 

First, Nika and I went shopping at Arena, where she bought two new mobile cases and I bought a pretty white dress, and of course, got Bubble Tea. When we were done with shopping, we went to the city centre and had a shoot at the Upper Town and by then, we were both quite hungry and decided to go eat at Pani, a super cute small restaurrant near Maksimir. That decision turned out great as the food was delicious and not even that expensive. Being a person that has a sweet tooth, I need to eat something sweet after lunch, and so we went to Zagreb, a cake shop where they sell macaroons and icecream, which is super tasty. Nika soon had to be at a movie premiere and I had arranged with my friend Petra to see a play at Exit. All in all, this Saturday was lovely and I just wish I could do this every weekend.

What I'm wearing is my grandma's old Marks & Spencer polka dot shirt, which is a couple sizes too big, but way too comfortable not to be worn. As it still is quite cold outside, I wore my leather jacket from Mango and ankle boots from Bata. The boyfriend jeans and the cute half velvet, half leather bag are both from H&M, as well as rings.

The reflection on the buildings is such a fun thing to take a picture of, and I just adore the last picture in this post. The sun was just about the set at the time we had this photoshoot so everything is kinda dim and man, doesn't it look amazing.
