OOTD: Vintage leather jacket (My Mums!)

 Hello beauties!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I spent it with my family, with good food and in good atmosphere :-)

I'll soon share some beautiful photos from my garden, the nature is just beautiful, everything is in blossom now, and we have our own little raised bed full of fruits and veggies, that is also growing and doing really well!

In this post I only have 3 photos to share with you, and these are from my phone´s archive, but I wanted to post them now, as soon the weather will get too warm for this outfit, so I wanted to share it as an inspo now 😊

Here I'm wearing a true gem from my Mum´s closet: This gorgeous oversized leather jacket, from the late ´80.-ies/early ´90.-ies, and it just looks so cool!

I paired it with a fluffy sweater that's exactly the same color, and dark green casual pants.

I also have a gold chain necklace with some pearls as details to break a look a little bit, and these cool leather boots.

In the period when these photos were taken, I was coloring my hair at home. Do you think I was too blonde? Does this look suit me?

As much as I want to wait until I can go to my hairdresser again, I also know that this might take up to a couple of months or more (it all depends on how I'm going to feel...when will I be up for it?).

So until then, I might just consider taking the matter in my own hands (again!). Hopefully I can't go too wrong with it! The reason why I started playing with this idea is because I saw a video tutorial where one hairdresser was explaining how to color your hair at home with high lift blonde, and this time I'd like to use the exact color combination that he used, to see if I can get such professional result at home.

Anyways, I'll keep you updated :-) Currently I'm using Amla oil for my hair and this oil is supposed to nourish hair and give it strength and vitality. I'll share a little beauty haul with you soon, because I have a lot of new faves that I'd like to talk about!

Outfit details:

Leather jacket: Vintage (my Mum´s)

I´m sending you love from Croatia!

I'll talk to you soon :-)

OOTD: Shabby, but not so chic!

 

Hello lovelies!

How are you doing?

Here's a little update from me :-)

Looking shabby (but not so chic), as I’m about to start physical therapy for my neck at the island of Krk. Bajcici is a lovely little village and at this time of the year fields here are filled with little yellow flowers! 

I had to cancel appointment at my hairdresser for the third time in a row as I’m still unable to move my neck freely and be comfortable in hairdresser’s chair. I’m trying to resist the urge to colour my hair at home as I know it never turns out as fab as when my hairdresser does it! I actually truly love my natural hair colour and wish I never coloured it but it’s a bit late to grow it all out now without also showing greys. I spent some time obsessing about having grey hair showing. 

But then, today, I actually felt extremely grateful and happy that I actually have hair and I consider this period of not being able to colour it as an opportunity to make it the healthiest possible and give it a new vitality. 

In regards to it I ordered amla oil and line seed oil, both great for hair care. I had great results using line seed oil in the past and in regards to amla oil, I heard it has the power of reversing grey hair and slowing down the aging process! 

Have you heard about it or used it already? I’d love to hear your experiences with it.

So I just wanted to say, remember, there are always things in your life to be thankful for and that can be a source of happiness, even in challenging times! To be honest with you, it’s a lesson that I often forget but I feel I’m on the right path to succeeding in training my brain to always look at the bright side of life.

Even though this is probably not one of my best looks, I still wanted to share it here and give you a little update on what's currently going on in my life.

I'm usually a type of person that's used on doing things since I start my day, till I go to sleep at night. I always like to be busy and create, or tidy up the house...But in this period I'm learning that it's important to give your body opportunity to rest and heal, and it's important to know how to slow down and take it easy without feeling the guilt, thinking "I should have done more today".

Outfit details:

Teddy coat: Reserved (second hand)

Sweatshirt: Abercrombie & Fitch (second hand)

Jeans: Mango (second hand)

Sneakers: All Star Converse platform leather (second hand)

Leather bag: Zara (second hand)

Sunglasses: Ray Ban (second hand)

Writing this post, I just realized, my entire outfit here was second hand :-) I think that's awesome! It's been a long while since I bought a piece of clothing that wasn't second hand, and I truly enjoy good second hand shopping! You guys already know that! ;-)

OOTD: Pinko Coat & second hand finds!

 

Hello lovely people!

How are you doing and how's your weekend?💕

I went with my family to pick some seeds this afternoon, so we can plant them when the time is right. Today it was raining and windy, so it seemed like a good opportunity to go to the local store and pick up some seeds, soil and even one little peach tree, to plant in our garden, hopefully next weekend, or so!😊

We also got some strawberries plants, and I can't wait to have my own strawberries in the garden! Strawberries are my fave fruit!❤️

Other seeds that we planted a couple of weeks ago are doing really well 🌱🪴, and soon it'll be time to put them in the soil of our garden (for the moment they're still inside of our house, in the vases and egg containers (I wrote about it in this post, do you remember?)

And now, let me quickly present you my OOTD:

This outfit again, is made mostly out of second hand finds!

Wool coat: Pinko (second hand find!)

White cardigan: Zara

Shirt: second hand 

High waisted "Mom" jeans: Zara (second hand)

Leather bag: Furla (second hand)

Sneakers: Reebok Club C (second hand)

As you already know, second hand is definitely my cup of tea! However I was thinking of buying even less and just making the most of what I already have!

I'll talk about it more in the future, I'm thinking of doing something like "no buy" challenge, or similar!

I really want to focus on all the things that I already have and appreciate them to the fullest!

How about you? Are you thinking the same?

I'll talk to you soon!
