Summer outfits vol.6: Primark's beach dress

 

Hello loves!

I'm back with another outfit post, again from my fave place, the beach of Cizici at the island of Krk in Croatia. It's truly a magical place for me, where I feel very relaxed and at peace. You'll probably see some more posts from this beautiful place!

As I've already mentioned, this summer I didn't buy any new clothing items, but everything that I bought was second hand! I managed to find great deals and such cool pieces and I was able to totally renew my wardrobe for just a fraction of the price of what I would have usually spent!

This lovely knitted beach dress is also second hand (originally from Primark) and this summer it was my most worn item for the beach, because it's just so easy to just throw on, and it looks great!

My headband is from H&M (I've had it for many years), it's that Missoni style that's always in!

Sunglasses are from Pepco, very cheap and very lightweight and I absolutely love this shape.

I hope you like this look!

Tell me all about your happy place! :-)

I'll talk to you soon, I have a couple of more summer outfit posts to share with you before the September ends!

xo from Croatia,

Summer outfits vol.5: Second hand fashion

 

U pokretu 👋 A sad idem malo filozofirati o outfitu: Sve na meni je second hand (osim ovih ludih naočala koje sam “ulovila” prije puno godina na sniženjima). Traperice su jos malo pa pravi vintage komad, pronašla sam ga u second handu u Londonu, davne 2005., gdje sam i radila kao volonter. Bile su još nove sa etiketom i bile su mi tada prevelike (ah, gdje je sada taj struk?), ali sam ih svejedno uzela jer je to bila ljubav na prvi pogled (i bile su nevjerojatno jeftine)! Da, “osviještena moda”, ili kako ćemo ju zvati, u zadnjih par godina postala je pravi trend, ali moja ljubav prema second handu nije površni trend već datira još iz dvijetisucitih kada sam zivjela u Londonu i tamo otkrila “čari” second hand ducana…Dok je još kod nas second hand bio neka vrsta “tabua”, koji je asocirao na Caritas, ratne godine i neimaštinu. Drago mi je da je danas second hand postao popularan, jer realno, cijene su u dućanima prenapuhane i kome uopće trebaju nove kolekcije svaka dva tjedna?? Topic, torbicu i sandalice su sa Mojih krpica, odličnog mjesta za povoljan second hand shopping, gdje i sama imam svoj dućančić gdje trenutno do kraja mjeseca ide super akcija, pa obavezno bacite pogled 😉 Ukoliko želite, pokažite mi sto vi danas nosite, dovoljno je da me tagirate i vidjeti ću vas outfit 😉

Hello guys!

Here is one photo session "in the movement". I find, lately, that those kind of photos are quicker to take and also they turn out better than when you actually pose.

I'm wearing all second hand here, except for the old Zara sunglasses that I bought on sales in Italy. 

I fell in love with second hand fashion long before it even became a "trend"! I volunteered in a charity shop in London, West Ealing, back in 2005. and I still to this date have some great pieces of clothing from that store, such as these Replay jeans that I wear here in these pics!

When I bought them, they were brand new, with a tag still on, and they were a bit too big on me! But I was so happy that I found such popular and great quality brand of jeans, for just a couple of pounds, I didn't even mind that they were a bit too wide. Now they're a perfect a fit, which makes me wonder, did I have such a small waist back then, huh? Also, back then low waist jeans were more popular, and everybody wore skinny models, whereas these, as you can see, are high waisted and wider model (super popular now, almost 20 years later!).

I'm also selling a lot of my clothes at a local Croatian website, where I have set up my little closet. If you know some good on line stores where I could sell internationally, let me know! Is depop still the most popular? I'm also a bit hesitant because I don't know if the shipping costs are too high, I mean, is it worth it? I have to inform myself a bit more about it!

I'd love to give it a shot, so all my blog readers and international audience could get something from my closet :-)

Your ideas and suggestions are very much welcomed!

Outfit details:

Top: Zara (second hand)

Jeans: Replay (second hand, from Pdsa charity shop in West Ealing)

Leather sandals: Next (second hand)

Bag: Mango (second hand)

Sunglasses: Zara

Necklace: from the early 2000's, bought from local street musicians from Latin America

I'll talk to you soon guys! I'm going to start sharing very soon other topics on my blog, to bring back a bit of diversity, such as wish lists, beauty product reviews, and also about old post cards (which I'm already posting on my instagram so take a look!)

Summer outfits vol.3: Happy everyday!

 

Hello lovelies!

How are you spending this weekend?

This morning it was nice and sunny weather here, so I got ready to go outside in my backyard to have a little walk with my dog and my little one, because being outside in the nature is always beneficial and appealing, but...it ended up getting all cloudy whilst I was getting ready and, all of a sudden, it started raining! I'm still hoping the rain will stop soon, and that the sun might come out later this afternoon, so we end up going to that little walk after all :-)

Anyways, I decided to write this blog post, since my plans for going outside and enjoy a little walk, got ruined for the time being :-/

Later I'm going to do some (much needed) tidying up and cooking lunch.

I have this outfit that I already posted on my instagram to share with you, and a couple of more that I wore during the months of July and August!

I wore:

Yellow knitted top: United Colors of Benetton

Lace bralette: Intimissimi

Shorts: H&M

Bag: Mango

Dr. Marten's sandals

Seashell necklace: H&M

Sunglasses: Pepco

Now it's getting colder, but I'm hoping we'll still have some very sunny and warm days so we can go to the beach & relax and wear fun summer clothes!

Happy wekkend y'all!

I'll talk to you soon :-)

Summer outfits vol.2: Day at the beach at the island of Krk in Croatia

 

Hello lovelies!

Here is one post with photos from my happy place: The beach of Cizici at the island of Krk in Croatia!

It's such a calm and beautiful place, I always feel good and relaxed here. This beach is also famous for the healing properties of the black mud. It's been used in the past to cure a whole number of diseases, and when you come here, you can always see people covered in mud!

Some do it for fun, to share holiday pics on their social medias, some yet do it because this really helps!

I also tried it a couple of times and it feels really good and therapeutic!

We discovered this beach back in 2016. when I was pregnant, but we didn't actually go here until summer 2020., or maybe 2019., because it turns out to be the perfect spot for little kids, as they can run and enjoy the shallow sea.

I have lovely memories from this place so I'm happy that this summer too, we went here quite often.

No matter how anxious or worried I feel, when I'm here, everything negative seems to disappear, it's like this place has some special magic aura of good vibrations :-)

My outfit:

Top: Miss Sixty (second hand)

Skirt: Calzedonia (second hand)

Bag: Zara (second hand)

Hat: old one, bought in Italy

Slippers: Adidas

bathing suit #01: H&M

bathing suit #02: Love Stories for H&M

Do you have any special place that you like to call your happy place?

Kisses from Croatia,

Hello lovelies!

Here is another summer OOTD in collaboration with Noracora.

From their website, one of the items that I picked are these denim overalls with sunflower print. They're so, so pretty, I want to wear them all the time!

Overalls are also such an easy clothing item to style, ideal when you don't have time to think about putting together an entire outfit, it's just one piece, you can add some accessories, and you're ready to go! :-)
