Vlog: My Trip to the Italian Dolomiti!

Hello lovelies! 
This month I was so lucky to have my days off work, so my hubby & I took the opportunity to go to Predazzo, a small town in the italian region called Trentino, in the mountains!

It was a super short stay, as my hubby had only a couple of days off, but we had a lot of fun!

Saturday we went exploring the town, we ate fine italian pastry and drank fruit infusions, did some sight-seeing...and in the evening we went to visit another touristic town in the mountains called Canazei, where my hubby's old friend (from student days!) is working.
Canazei is a famous ski resort, so of course, everything was still pretty much covered in snow there! I'm not a big fan of snow and skiing (actually, I can't ski, and I don't want to!) but it was fun to go there and experience something different for a change :)

Here I have for you a fun vlog of our weekend in Trentino, and some pics that we took along the way :)

Outfit of the day pics & vids are coming up soon! :)




Hubby did a little photo shoot of my car :)
All the tuning work has been done by him (you can visit his website HERE! and his youtube channel HERE!)

Drage curke!
Danasnji blog post je vezan uz jedan novi vlog koji sam objavila na svojem youtube kanalu prosli tjedan!
Ovaj mjesec imala sam kratki godisnji odmor pa smo muzic i ja iskoristili priliku i "skocili" do mjesta Predazzo u talijanskim planinama (Dolomiti), regija Trentino.

Muzic nije imao puno slobodnih dana na raspolaganju (samo vikend), tako da je nas posjet Predazzu bio kratak, ali smo se dobro zabavili!

U subotu smo isli u istrazivanje grada i uzivali u talijanskim slasticama i tipicnoj kuhinji regije Trentino, a navecer smo otisli do obliznjeg turistickog skijalista (turistickog mjesta) Canazei, gdje radi muzicev stari prijatelj iz studentskih dana!
Naravno, susret je bio za pamcenje jer se njih dvoje dugo nisu vidjeli :)
Ja nisam obozavateljica snijega ni skijalista (ne znam skijati, niti zelim nauciti!), ali bilo je lijepo dozivjeti taj ugodaj snijega i planina.

Ostavljam vas uz vlogic (koji mozete pogledati OVDJE i par slicica koje smo usput snimili ;)
Naravno, nisam zaboravila na OOTD slicice i videe, koje cu vam prikazati u narednim postovima!

Nadam se da ste i vi ugodno proveli vikend!
Pusa iz Italije!

Preparativna kozmetika: Moja dnevna njega koze lica (My Updated Skincare Routine: Daytime)

Dragi citatelji/ce! Danasnji post vezan je uz video koji sam nedavno objavila na hrvatskom youtube kanalu, a radi se o mojoj dnevnoj njezi koze lica. U tom videu predstavila sam vam proizvode koje trenutno koristim svakodnevno prije sminkanja.
Ovi proizvodi izuzetno odgovaraju mojem tipu koze lica i sa njima sam jako zadovoljna pa sam neke od njih i ponovno kupila, kada mi ih je ponestalo.

Video u kojem vam detaljnije pricam o preparativnoj kozmetici koju koristim u dnevnoj njezi, pogledajte ovdje:






My today's blog post is all about my updated skincare routine!



In this post I'm going to share with you the products I currently use on my face daily, before applying make up.
These products really work well on my skin and with some of them I'm so pleased that I already repurchased them.

My daytime skincare routine is really simple and it all comes down to four products:

- L'Occitane Precious Cleansing Foam (I wash my face with this gentle foam every morning)
- Rose Water (bought at the italian supermarket. I use it as a toner, I spray it all over my face and leave it to air dry).
- Avon Anew Genics dark circle corrector (eye cream that works well as a makeup/concealer base).
- Lancome Neurocalm Hydra Zen cream (my daily moisturizer, very soothing, hydrating cream, suitable for sensitive skin.)



Moja dnevna njega koze lica danas je vrlo jednostavna, semplificirana i sto je najbitnije, efikasna!
Proizvodi koje koristim dnevno mogu svesti u ove 3 kategorije: -ciscenje, -toniziranje, -hidratacija.

Ukoliko kupujete u L'Occitane-u, nemojte zaboraviti na mogucnost kupovine refilla, na taj nacin stedite vas novac!
Imortelle pjenu za ciscenje lica kupila sam u povoljnijem, refill pakiranju, buduci da sam vec imala bocicu od prosli put.


Moja dnevna njega koze lica svodi se na:
CISCENJE: L'Occitane Immortelle pjena. Pjenu u lice volim utrljati Sephora cetkicom za masazu lica.
TONIZIRANJE: Ruzina vodica kupljena u lokalnom supermarketu (volim ju posprejati na lice i pricekati da se osusi).
HIDRATACIJA: Avon Anew Genics kremica/korektor tamnih kolutova, dobro mi sluzi kao baza za make up i hidratizira njezno okoloocno podrucje.
Lancome Neurocalm Hydra Zen kremica za lice koja je odlicna make up baza, vrlo je hidratantna, brzo se upija u kozu i ne ostavlja masni trag. Prikladna je i za osjetljivu kozu.







As I've said, my daytime routine is pretty simple, but it works fine & I like it like this :)
I found these products that really work well on my face and take care of my skin, so at the end of the day, I'm really pleased with the results they provide to my skin!

If you'd like to hear a more detailed review of any of these products that I mentioned here, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll be glad to do it!
I'm going to talk about my night time skincare routine in one of my upcoming posts (that routine too, is actually really simple and similar to my daytime routine, with the addition of a few products!)


Kao sto sam vam rekla, moja preparativna rutina i njega koze lica vrlo je jednostavna, ali bas mi odgovara! Pronasla sam prave proizvode koji dobro djeluju na mojoj kozi lica i na kraju dana, rezultati su vidljivi i to me cini zadovoljnom!

Ukoliko zelite cuti detaljniju recenziju bilo kojeg od ovdje spomenutih proizvoda, ostavite mi vase komentare i biti ce mi drago to uciniti za vas!

Uskoro cu vam pricati i o mojoj nocnoj njezi koze lica, koja je isto tako vrlo jednostavna, uz dodatak par proizvoda za skidanje sminke i dodatnu njegu ;)


Do iduceg posta, lijepo vas pozdravljam! xx

Pretty Little Liars Lookbook Collab: Aria Inspired Outfits by Sonia VerardoStyle

Hi guys! 

Today I have a fashion post prepared for you!
Past week, on my youtube channel, I posted a "Pretty Little Liars" Tv show video collab (five other girls are involved in this collab), where I featured Aria Montgomery's style.

I styled four outfits that are similar to the ones Aria was wearing in the past episodes of the PLL show.


If you'd like to check out how the video turned out, make sure to click on the thumbnail bellow:




(in the info box bellow my video, you'll also find all the links to the other girl's videos, feat. fashion & beauty related to other characters on the PLL show!)


Make sure to also check out the videos of other girls in this collab!
We have Emily, Spencer, Hanna, Mona and Alison's fashion & make up videos, so I'm sure you're going to enjoy watching :)

from my PLL fashion collab video ;)




I styled four outfits inspired by Aria's style
Her style is very youthful, trendy, edgy...a little bit "out there", it definitely can't pass unnoticed and the way she styles certain prints & trends together is sometimes a bit unexpected, but it always turns out great!
I actually ♥ Aria's style and I'm very pleased that I was the one who got to recreate it!


Outfit #01



outfit # 01 is inspired by Aria's "Grateful Dead" tee and burgundy skinny jeans


My tee is from Zara, skinny jeans are from H&M, as well as the statement necklace (that is the exact match to the one Aria wore in one of the episodes!)



Outfit #02



Outfit #02 is inspired by Aria's multi-coloured leather jacket and a cat tee...
I combined my styling with the statement necklace from H&M that, again, is the exact one that Aria wore in one of the episodes (I think it was the season 4 finale!)
I found already 4 necklaces from H&M that Aria wore in the past episodes! I guess the tv show stylists use a lot of H&M statement jewellery when styling Aria's outfits ;) That's good to know! ;)

I don't have a multi-coloured leather jacket, but I thought this one was pretty similar and is definitely something Aria would wear.
The jacket is from Zara
Cat tee is from H&M
Ripped skinny jeans are from H&M
Statement necklace (the exact match) is also H&M



Outfit #03



Outfit #03 is inspired by Aria's tiger print dress and a statement H&M necklace with turquoise/gold spikes

I didn't have a tiger print dress, but I did have this tiger print tank top (H&M, DIY project), that I tucked inside of my black Stradivarius skirt and accentuated my waist line with this narrow, studded belt by Pimkie.
Styled like this, it ended up looking like a dress!
I don't have the exact same H&M necklace, but I do have a similar one (also from H&M) with turquoise beads.
I completed this trendy outfit with yet more pop of colour: On my feet I put these red heels by Zara.







Outfit #04



Outfit # 04 is inspired by Aria's floral print dress, black blazer and a casual style, black messenger bag.

I think this floral print romper by Bershka is pretty similar to Aria's dress.
What do you guys think?
Bag is from Bershka too.

My black blazer is from H&M
Statement necklace is from Zara






The footwear:


Aria mostly wears heels or wedges, as they give her the extra height. Her footwear is always very trendy and unique looking!

I did my best to pick out the shoes similar to Aria's style, but to best match my outfits...

Outfit # 01: Leopard print sneakers by Bershka
Outfit #02: Nude ankle- high booties by Zara
Outfit #03: Red heels by Zara
Outfit #04: Grey wedge ankle- high booties by H&M



I hope you enjoyed this blog post!
Let me know, did I recreate well Aria's style?
If you liked it, I could do more of these PLL inspired posts in the future! Leave me your comments! xx

from my fashion video...

...filming my intro..shhhh!
(makeup tutorial on this look is coming up soon on my beauty channel, and here on my blog, so make sure to follow!)



Thank you so much for stopping by!

Before I go, I'd like to ask you a question:

Which one is YOUR favourite character from the PLL show?

Kiss from Italy!

Full Face Avon Make Up Review & Tutorial (Recenzija i Makeup Tutorijal!) ♥

I'm starting up this new week well rested, after a busy and quite stressful working weekend...I went through my recently uploaded beauty/fashion videos, to get an inspiration for my today's post, and I've decided it's going to be something beauty related :)

Recently, I've filmed a makeup tutorial using all Avon makeup, including some goodies that I have received as a gift from neseser.hr website, where I also write my beauty blog (in croatian language).
I'm an Avon lady for over 10 years now, so I really know my stuff when it comes to Avon makeup & beauty products!
That's why I thought it would be fun to gather all of my Avon makeup faves, and feature them in a tutorial, play around with them to see the look I create ;)



Avon makeup that I used in this tutorial
Avonov makeup koji sam koristila u danasnjem tutorijalu


Odlucila sam zapoceti ovaj novi tjedan, jednom beauty recenzijom, naravno popracenom makeup tutorijalom...
Poigrala sam se malo sa mojim omiljenim avonovim stvarcicama :)
Ja sam Avon lady vec desetak godina i stoga mogu reci da vrlo dobro poznajem Avonove proizvode... Uz moje stare favorite, u ovom tutorijalu koristila sam i neke nove stvarcice koje su mi stigle na poklon od urednistva nesesera, beauty portala na kojem vodim i svoj hrvatski blog!



Pogledajte moj video tutorijal i recenziju ovdje:

video sam snimila na hrvatskom jeziku ;)





the eye makeup
makeup ociju...odlucila sam se za nijanse plavih i smedjih sjenila koje su bas prikladne za ove proljetne dane :)

I've decided to venture into the blues...these are gorgeous colours for spring time!

the eyeshadow palette that I used is from the Luxe collection (Chambray Blues)
Paleta sjenila koju sam koristila je iz Avonove Luxe kolekcije, u nijansi "Chambray Blues"




Avon "dancefloor diva" eyeliner "diamond"
Avon 24k gold eye liner/ eye-liner gold  "golden brown"
Avon 3 in 1 "vogue" jumbo pencil
Avon infinitize mascara "black"
Avon Cynthia Rowley higlighter stick

you can see the swatches of the products better on this pic
swatcheve pogledajte bolje na ovoj slicici (highlighter i jumbo pencil se definitivno vide bolje, buduci da su bojice jako delikatne/svijetle, bilo ih je teze zabiljeziti foto aparatom!)




Avon luxe blush "show stopping pink" is one of my fave products! it's really gorgeous colour, well pigmented with very subtle gold shimmer!
I used the other Avon blush, true colour "Russet" for contouring :) ...with a very light hand and lots of blending!

Avonovo rumenilo iz Luxe kolekcije u nijansi "show stopping pink" jedno je od mojih omiljenih Avonovih proizvoda.
Bojica je prekrasna roza, sa vrlo delikatnim zlatnim shimmerom, lijepe pigmentacije; zaista kvalitetan proizvod koji vam srdacno preporucam ukoliko volite ovako njezne, roze boje rumenila :)
Ovaj drugi Avonov proizvod, rumenilo iz kolekcije True Colour u nijansi "russet", koristila sam kao bronzer pri konturiranju. Po swatchu mozete vidjeti da je ta nijansa prilicno intenzivna i pigmentirana, a buduci da sam ja blijede puti, na lice sam nanjela jako malu kolicinu proizvoda i naravno, sve dobro izblendala kako bih samo naglasila prirodne konture lica :)


I always carry Avon's Ideal flawless pressed powder in my make up bag, for a quick fix when I'm on the go!
I use it in a shade "light medium" and I'm pleased with it's matifying effect.
I'm very impressed with Avon's Ideal flawless BB skin loving beauty balm!
I'm using it in a shade "shell"
You can click here to watch my review & demo on this BB cream!

Avonov kompaktni puder iz linije Ideal flawless uvijek nosim u svojoj kozmetickoj torbici! Jako sam zadovoljna nijansom " light medium" jer savrseno odgovara mojoj boji puti, a svidja mi se i njegov matirajuci efekt!
Iz iste linije volim i Avonovu BB Skin Loving Beauty Balm kremu! Zaista me je impresionirala, a detaljniju recenziju i mali demo mozete pogledati ukoliko kliknete na link koji sam vam ostavila gore!



To complete this make up I used two products on my lips:
A beautiful nude lipstick in a shade "nude perfection" and a hint of a lip gloss on top!
I used the "Dancefloor diva" lipgloss from their "Dancing with the Stars" collection in a shade "sparkling crystal".
This shimmery white colour goes well on top of any lipstick colour and it gives you more plumped lips effect!

Makeup sam kompletirala uz ova dva proizvoda koje sam kombinirala na usnama:
Avon "Dancefloor Diva" sjajilo za usne iz kolekcije "Dancing with the Stars" u nijansi "sparkling crystal".
Prekrasna bojica koja ide povrh svake boje ruza za usne, daje usnama puniji efekt i shimmerasti finish.
Jedna od mojih omiljenih nijansi ruzeva za usne: Avon "nude perfection", odlicna, prirodna boja za svaki dan!


Nadam se da vam se svidja rezultat:

I hope you like the complete look!





choker necklace is from Stradivarius
tirkizna ogrlica pravi je statement piece, a kupljena je u Stradivariusu!
