Sparkle on!

Hello lovelies!
Today I'd like to present you an outfit post with one of my favourite items from this winter's sales: My new sequin leggings from H&M!
My colleagues and I had a "little" exclusive privilege to shop at H&M at discounted prices, before the official start date of the sales, back in December! :-)
Of course we took the advantage and picked up a few things we've been eyeing on ever since they first arrived in stores! I had my eyes set on this gorgeous pair of silver sequin leggings, and I got them for half the price!
Immediately, I started thinking about the outfits I can put together with these leggings...
The options were many, from very dressy, to more casual, even every day appropriate!
I know sequin leggings are a very trendy item, that may not be so trendy anymore next season, but I didn't regret my purchase and I'm going to enjoy wearing them for as long as I like! 
And sparkle on! :-)

Lijep pozdrav dragi citatelji/ice!
Danasnji outfit post sastavljen je od jednog od mojih omiljenih odjevnih predmeta kupljenih na ovosezonskim snizenjima :-)
Radi se, pogadjate, o ovim svjetlucavim hlacama/ tajicama iz H&M-a!
Meni su se na prvi pogled svidjele i samo sam cekala pravu priliku da ih ugrabim!
Buduci da smo kolegice i ja imale tu neku eksluzivu, mogucosti kupovine po snizenim cijenama u H&M-u, prije samog sluzbenog pocetka snizenja, iskoristile smo priliku i jos u prosincu kupile par stvarcica koje smo gledale jos od kada su tek stigle u ducan kao nova kolekcija! Ja sam ove tajice dobila u pola cijene i odmah sam odusevljeno pocela smisljati outfite, sto za svecane prilike, sto za "casual", svakodnevnu varijantu!
Znam da je ovakav odjevni predmet sada vrlo "trendy" i da je moguce da ce iduce sezone vec biti "out", ali ja sam si dala gusta i nisam pozalila ovu kupovinu!
Iako su savrsene za svecane prilike i vecernje izlaske, ja ih obozavam nositi i svaki dan, sa nekom rocker print majicom i "muskobanjastim" cipelama na ravnu petu!
& keep on rockin'! ;-)
Nositi cu ih dok god me "drzi" i nadam se da nece tako brzo postati "out"!

My jewellery line, Pika jewellery: Behind the scenes!

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend and that you managed to relax and have fun!
Mine was quite busy at work, but today I slept long and got plenty of rest :-) I love Mondays!
In today's post, I'd like to present you the whole "behind the scenes" of my jewellery line!
As I promised back in December, when I was launching my jewellery line, I wanted to introduce you to the person who is behind the whole process of making Pika jewellery!
So today you get to meet Mr. Mario Scaglione, an italian craftsman with a long tradition in making jewellery. I visited him in his workshop/ studio, and interviewed him, and we also showed you how he handmakes my jewellery line!

You can also subscribe to my youtube channel, if you haven't yet,  here! It means a lot! :-)


In this video, the whole accent is on quality and unique designs. I teamed with Mr. Scaglione because I wanted to promote the "Made in Italy" and the local production!

Lijep pozdrav svima!

Nadam se da ste mi dobro i da ste ugodno proveli vikend! Moj je, kao i obicno bio radni, ali zato sam danas nadoknadila san i odmor! Ja sam vjerojatno jedna od nekolicine, koji vole ponedjeljak! :-)
U danasnjem postu predstavljam vam cijeli proces proizvodnje moje linije nakita! 
Kao sto sam vam i obecala prije mjesec dana, kada je moja linija nakita i sluzbeno bila objavljena i  pustena u prodaju, predstaviti cu vam osobu koja stoji iza Pika nakita!
Vodim vas u radionicu gdina. Maria Scaglionea, zlatara/ obrtnika iz okolice Padove, sa dugogodisnjom tradicijom izrade nakita.
Sa njim sam obavila mali intervju, a pokazali smo vam i na koji nacin on rucno izraduje Pika nakit! 
U ovom projektu naglasak je na kvaliteti i jedinstvenom dizajnu.
 Promoviram "Made in Italy", lokalnu proizvodnju  prepoznatljivu po stilu i kvaliteti, a koja je danas sve vise zasjenjena masovnom proizvodnjom i potrosnosti robe iz Kine.

Hvala vam na vasoj podrsci!

Saljem vam pusu iz Italije i zelim ugodan pocetak radnog tjedna!

Rijeka

Many of you already know, I'm Croatian, and Rijeka is my hometown. It's a town where I was born and raised, and lived pretty much until I was 26. When I was 22 I first moved away from Rijeka, first to Milan, Italy, to study, then London, UK. 
But, after a few years I came back to Rijeka, lived and worked there until I got married, when I was 26.
It's already been 7 years that I live in Italy! I still like to visit Rijeka as often as I can, my family, my friends, and my croatian home...
These photos were taken when I was visiting Rijeka a few months ago...
I'm taking you on a little "tour of Rijeka" through these photos...first you'll see photos from the narrow streets of Rijeka in the parts of town close to the center, and then our walk continues all the way to the centre of Rijeka, to the town's port, called "Riva".
I always liked living close to the sea, opening my bedroom windows to see the Adriatic Sea and the islands...this is what I miss the most now that I live in Italy!

My outfit consists of my comfy, black Dr.Martens (the traffic in Rijeka is pretty crazy, so I suggest walking whenever you can!) and my wool, plaid pants by Benetton, that I actually bought more than 10 years ago in the centre of Rijeka! I stopped wearing them for a while, but then rediscovered them in my wardrobe a year or two ago, and since then have been wearing them again non stop! :-)
Because they're made out of wool, they're super warm, ideal for colder days, but they can be a bit itchy against the skin, so I always wear them with a pair of tights!
I love when I have a good quality pieces in my wardrobe, that last in time!
This leather backpack is another great buy, a timeless piece! I got it when I just finished high-school, it has a pretty unique design, handmade by a local designer/ brand, Raffaella fashion. I don't know if they still exist as a brand, but their backpack has accompanied me on many trips and adventures and it's still in the perfect condition!

Danas za vas imam jedan novi outfit post, kroz koji cu vas povesti na mali "tour" mojeg grada, Rijeke. 
Kao sto mnogi znate, ja zivim u Italiji, ali inace sam Hrvatica, rodjena i odrasla u Rijeci. 
U gradu na Rjecini zivjela sam, uz poneke prekide, vise-manje, do svoje 26.godine. 
Prvi puta napustila sam Rijeku u 22. godini, kada sam otisla na strucno usavrsavanje u Milano, Italiju...zatim je slijedio put u London, a nakon par godina vratila sam se bila u Rijeku i tamo zivjela i radila do svoje 26. godine, tj. do udaje.
Sada zivim u Italiji i proletjelo je vec 7 godina! Ipak, nastojim cesto posjetiti Rijeku, svoju obitelj, prijatelje i svoj hrvatski dom :-)
Na jednom takvom boravku u Rijeci, nedavno,  nastale su i ove fotografije.
Na njima vas vodim kroz uske i strme, karakteristicne ulicice Rijeke, smjestene blizu samog centra, do obale i Rijecke luke...Mozda jedna od stvari koje mi sada najvise nedostaju jest upravo prekrasni pogled na zaljev i otoke, iz moje spavace sobe...

Dotaknimo se outfita...Nosim moje omiljene, crne "Marte" (promet u Rijeci je ludnica, kada sam tamo volim pjesaciti, moj tata je uvijek znao reci "cipel-cug"...haha upravo sam se nasmijala od ove pomisli!)...Vunene hlace kupila sam u Benettonu u Rijeci, ali jos prije vise od 10 godina! Ako se netko tko je iz Rijeke, a cita ovaj tekst, sjeca, kada je Benetton jos bio na samom Korzu! Volim te kvalitetne komade odjece koje mogu nositi dugi niz godina!
Kada smo vec kod kvalitete i "bezvremenskih" komada u mojem ormaru, i ovaj kozni rusak moram pohvaliti! Kupila sam ga kada sam tek zavrsila srednju skolu, u jednom rijeckom butiku. Rucno je radjen i unikatan, a proizvodjac bio je Raffaella fashion, rijecki dizajner brand za kojega ne znam postoji li jos...Ruksak je prosao sa mnom mnoga putovanja i avanture i jos je tu, kao nov i uvijek originalan!


Nadam se da vam se svidio ovaj nacin prezentacije outfita!
Nastojati cu i dalje dijeliti sa vama moja omiljena mjesta kroz zanimljive outfit postove!
