Bike Ride in the Countryside of Italy OOTD & VLOG

Hi guys!

I can't believe how quickly time passes by!

I filmed this OOTD video and a vlog, almost 3 weeks ago.

I just didn't have time to make a blog post about it...

I remember uploading it just before my trip to Croatia, I was thinking I would do a following blog post that same evening, from my home in Croatia...

But life is unpredictable and whilst we plan and try to organise, little does it mean, when destiny steps in and lead us into a whole different direction...

That afternoon, when I arrived home to Croatia, I found my Dad already sleeping an eternal sleep with a good angels.

My Dad passed away and I wasn't even there when it happened.

It wasn't supposed to happen, I wasn't expecting this to happen!

I arrived home just a few days before my birthday, to give a big hug & a kiss to my Dad, and instead I found his already cold body lying on the floor, and he couldn't feel my hug and hear my words anymore.

Words can't describe how I feel.

Instead of celebrating my birthday, I went to his funeral.

My Dad was always saying to me to live my life to the fullest, to be happy, he would always say: "Now it's your time, live your life!".

These are the words that give me strength to keep going on, to keep eating, sleeping and breathing, day by day...

This next weekend I'm planing to go back to work, and, as you can see, I'm slowly getting back to my blog and youtube.

I know my sadness will never go away, I just pray that with time this feeling becomes a bit more bearable to live with.

Now I'd like to share with you a few pics taken before this tragedy in my life happened, pics taken on a sunny Sunday, when I was happy.

The moments of joy and fun,captured forever with a camera, and with my mind :)

My sweet hubby :)

Casual Spring Style: Lace Top & Studded Sneakers

Hello beauties!

Here is another OOTD post, the video feat. this outfit was uploaded past week.

You can watch it here:

I was doing some minor grocery shopping that day. 

I was without my car for the week, so I had to go by foot to a nearby (10-15min. walk) mini-market. 

The sun was high in the sky (what a surprise!! given the fact that so far, it has been a pretty shi..y spring! pardon my language, ahem!)and even a minor grocery shopping started feeling rather heavy ughh...

My studded sneakers were killing my feet and it's beyond me how I managed to return home after all, lol!

For the purpose of this video/ photos, I put them back on, but couldn't really do much but stand still...and pretend to smile! lol

The good news:

After a few days, when my feet healed, I tried them again (they're Made in Italy, real leather sneakers, they're SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER COMFY AND HIGH QUALITY!!!)...I gave them a second chance, and wore them to work...9,1/5hours of nn stop moving..and..they passed the test! I love them now :)

great pic! my face expression is just priceless! thanx to my hubby for capturing that moment, lol
Thought I'd post it anyway, hihi ;)

Loose waves thanx to Imetec Bellissima Professional hair curler.
Still rocking the ombre trend, but thinking about going back to blonde in June, just before my B-day...
Any suggestions? :)

We got off to a bad start, but now it's actually a love relationship :)
My studded sneakers by "Ottocento" brand.

Just stand still and pretend to be smiling...ouch! my feet were killing me here :(

Had to include this one!
My neighbour's cat, spying on me, while I'm filming my OOTD video!

My Fashion Diary: Sunny, but Cold Easter in Croatia

The day after Easter...

... I spent in Croatia with my hubby & my family :)
It was really chilly, but sunny day!
We had lunch at my Mum's and Granny's place and then just chilled out with two good friends.
Before that, we took some time to film an OOTD video & take some pics at my Dad's blossom garden :)
If it was warmer, we would have stayed outside longer, and enjoy the nature & the sun...but it was quite chilly & windy :(
Hopefully by the next time we go there, the weather will be nice!

Spring OOTD: Green Jacket, Baggy Fit Jeans, Gold Metallic Sweater

Hello beauties!

As you can see, I have a new short OOTD video prepared for you :)

I'm back from Croatia, I just got back this afternoon!

It was a short stay, but I'm happy because I got a chance to see my family and I was actually able to take my granny with me here in Italy, so now she's here to finally see our new place!

She'll be staying with us for a couple of weeks and I'm really happy as this is her first visit to me in Italy, after our wedding (she was here in Italy for our wedding, but that was almost five years ago!)

Tomorrow I start working, so tonight I just need a good night sleep :)

Btw, here in Italy (and Croatia) the weather is super COLD!!!???

It feels like the winter is back! ughhh :(

I filmed this OOTD the past week, when the weather was really sunny & warm, but then, something changed (went wrong??) and the winter is back!

Hopefully, not for much longer!

Anyway, let me share a few pics of my outfit with you (just a casual day outfit- I was doing grocery shopping & not much else!)

I wore:

Green jacket: Bershka

Gold metallic sweater: H&M

Basic grey cotton T-shirt: Tzenis

Baggy fit jeans: Pull & Bear

Bag: Max & Co.

Sunnies: H&M

Scarf: Italian Open Market

Bracelets: H&M, inherited

Watch: Fossil Rose gold

During my short stay in Croatia, I visited my hairdresser and finally got my hair ombre! It's something I've been thinking about doing for a longer period of time, so now I'm really happy I finally got it (I still haven't done any pics of me with my new hair colour, but I will be posting an update for you guys as soon as I can!)

These pics were my inspiration (those were the pics I took with me at the hairdresser's salon):

Now I'm off to bed, but I'll be posting soon with more exciting news & beauty product hauls (I went a bit crazy at DM drugstore in Croatia!) lol

Kisss kisss from Italy xx
