OOTD: Greyish

 

Hello loves!

How are you doing?

These days, I find great pleasure in posting here on my blog, and I have a lot of new projects and ideas I want to keep developing. It's keeping my mind busy and away from negative thoughts.

Because of my spondylosis, and current problem with my neck and vertigo, I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and I just want to focus on positive thoughts and things that bring me joy and calm.

I've been visiting chiropractor, we already made a couple of sessions, and I do notice some improvements so I'm really hopeful that everything will turn out for the best and that soon I'll be able to be my old self again, active and healthy and happy!

I never had big anxiety issues until those health problems related to my spondylosis started to happen. Since then it's been a true explosion of anxiety, to the extent I've never experienced before, and I know I don't talk a lot about it, but maybe one day I will, when I feel ready. 

It's just that now, I really want to concentrate on all the good things and try my best to think positive thoughts!

In this period of time I wear mostly my sweatpants and loungewear, the weather is cold and awful and I spend most of my days inside of the house. But, I do still have a big passion for clothes so I never miss an opportunity to do some on line second hand hunting :-) It's one of the things that relax me and keeps my mind away from negative thoughts.

Here is one OOTD that we shoot a couple of months ago, and is entirely second hand, so I'm awfully proud of this cool styling!

Outfit details:

Trench coat: Michael Kors

Wool cardigan: Liu Jo

Leather belt: Max & co.

Leather shoes: Mass Creator 

Jeans: Zara

Bag: Furla

(everything is second hand!)

I like to shop, but mostly I like sustainable fashion and using what I already have, or what I found in a thrift store!

How do you like this outfit?

Here is also a little OOTD video (I might bring back OOTD videos if I notice you guys like them a lot!):

So please leave me your comments and feedbacks, I truly appreciate it!

Here is a little cute "behind the scenes" shot by my little one! :-)

I wanted to share it because it's just such a cute, unexpected pic!

There is one thing I wanted to mention, since a few weeks ago, I'm unable to write comments on other people's blogs! I don't know why that is so, so I wanted to ask if anyone of you has been experiencing the same issue and do you know what seems to be causing it?

It's really annoying because I love to be active in this community and visit other blogs and supporting them! I hope I'll manage to fix this problem soon, but until then, just know that I do care and I do visit your blogs! :-)

I´m sending you a big kiss from Croatia and I'll talk to you soon :-)

Small Spaces- Storage Ideas & Fitness Test! ;))

Hi lovelies!

Today, my hubby & I finished putting together the furniture in our small hallway...

Because I have too many things, we have to make the most out of the space we have...

We put together a closet and lots of a "shoe-storage" plastic boxes from Ikea (these are actually great for making the most out of the storage space!)

We had fun & took just a few quick snapshots of me in between my closet and shoe storage boxes!

There is such a little space left in between, that getting in there actually serves as a "fitness test", my hubby concluded! lol

Tomorrow we might just transfer our bed to our new home, which means we'll finally have our first night there!

&..this also means I'll be without internet for a ... (???)

These days, I was dowloading the season 3 and 4 of my favourite TV- show, "True Blood", like crazy!

I really wanted to see all the episodes, and I can't wait (I don't know how long) to start watching them again on-line!

You guys, I don't watch TV, it's been 7 years now, so internet is my everyyythinggg!

I guess I'll turn to reading books & listening to the radio now :)

Anyway, I wanted to post a music video for a song "Bad Things" by Jace Everett, that is a theme song of "True Blood" intro!

I don't like the intro that much, but I ♥♥♥♥ the songgg!

You can listen to it here:

On the other note, I'm slowly getting to know the road to my new place (been driving back and forth every day, for a week now!).

The journey to get to my work is going to be a bit longer, but the place where I'm going to live is so much prettier than where we had lived for the past (almost) 5 years...

I guess that's my little ramble for today!

Love you guys!!! 

Have a good night- I'm off to bed, as another long day is ahead of me!

Got the Keys??? Got the Keys!!!

Hello lovelies!

A big, and a very important day is behind my hubby & me!

I'm super excited to share with you that we have finally become the  happy owners of our first appartment, finally we have a place to call our home!

It feels amazing and surreal.

Some of you might know, as periodically I've been updating you on how our house-hunt is going, that we have started our search past July.

We have seen a LOT of places...

I'm telling you, it was really hard to find a perfect place!

Finally, by the end of the past year, we've found a cute, little place, that, we agreed, suits all our needs at the moment!

We were taking pics of all the real estates that we visited, but as we eliminated them for this, or that reason, we deleted the pics as well!

On my laptop I had only a couple of random pics left, from the places we visited past summer, but didn't even like!

We actually forgot to take the pics of the place we've chosen, but, to remember today's day as a very special one to both of us, I took the pic of our "freshly made" keys ;)

We're starting the move on the Monday!!!

I don't know how long it's going to take us to get settled in, but I'm feeling super excited about what's ahead of us!

As long as I still have my internet connection, and a moment free, I'll keep updating my blog & youtube, but if I go MIA...you now know the reason for it!!!

Much love & kisses from Italy ♥♥♥♥♥
