5 Summer Dresses I Adore

Hello beauties!

Summer days are meant for going outside, spending time at the beach and just enjoying life! It's very hot and humid these days here in Italy and I know these are the last days of summer :-/ My hubby and I worked a lot this summer and the vacations are already over! But it was truly nice and relaxing family holiday.

Of course, our destination was, as every summer, Croatia, and we also spent some time at our favorite place on this Earth: the island of Rab!

I'll show you my favorite 5 summer dresses that I keep wearing every summer and that I always pack with me, whenever I go to my vacations. Needless to say, I love wearing dresses in summertime! When it's very hot and sunny outside, I can't even bear the thought of wearing pants.

This lovely dress is from Hollister. I got it a couple of years ago (summer 2015. probably), on summer sales. It's very breezy and I love the model and the print. It's ideal for everyday but it can be dressed up, with a pair of heels.

In this photo I'm in the little Croatian seaside town Bakar, and I'm wearing my summer staples: Straw fedora and a little pink bag.

Next dress is a maxi dress and I got it at Fashionmia online store, in a blogger collaboration that we had. I love the color of this dress and the fact that it looks so good both with sneakers, and with heels. When I want to make it a bit more casual, I just pair it with my cropped jean jacket and white All Star sneakers.

Third dress is from H&M and their Conscious line. I bought it a few years ago at their summer sales. I'm in love with the color, print (delicate flowers) and the model. I do love to wear maxi dresses in summer, I think they're so feminine and make you look very chic and sophisticated.

This one I'm particularly fond of also because of the ruffly top part, it just looks so girly and pretty!

Next dress is a white summer dress from H&M. Again, this was bought on summer sales a few years ago, at H&M in Treviso (I was visiting that little Italian town with my friend and we went for a little walk around the centre of the town & a little shopping!).

Summer calls for the color white and I'm a big fan of wearing white. I have more than one white dress in my wardrobe, but this is surely one of my favorites, if not THE favourite!

Last (but not least) is this gorgeous lace red dress by Light In The Box. I had a chance to collaborate with that online store a couple of times, and they always surprised me with some nice gems!

My first collaboration with them was a bit unfortunate, but they really made it up with time, and showed me how much great items they carry at such affordable prices!

Anyhow, this dress is still one of my absolute favorite!

These are just 5 of many dresses that I have and love! I could go on and on, but let's get real: My suitcase has a limited storage space and I do need to optimize it!

This summer, my picks are these 5 beauties!

I hope you like some of the dresses that I showed you! Let me know which one is your favorite?

I'll talk to you soon!

Pom pom sandals, my summer faves!

ENG: Hi guys! You already noticed, everyone went crazy for these pom pom sandals this summer! I believe it's because they're so fun and colorful! Every time I wore them, I swear a felt cheerful and happy :-) It might sound silly, but it's just the way it is! Never thought a pair of sandals could have such a positive effect on my mood, lol!
The first store where I spotted them, unfortunately didn't have them in my size any more (they were pretty much sold out everywhere!)...just as I made my peace with the fact that I'm not going to find them this summer, we went on a roadtrip to Rovinj in Croatia, and, when walking around the centre of the town, I spotted them in the shopping window of another footwear store! I figured there's no chance they'll still have them in my size, but I went in anyway, just to try my luck...and yes, it was my lucky day!!! (a little bit less lucky for my hubby though, as he literally hated them! lol, where's his playfulness?!)
I was super excited about this purchase and, needless to say, I wore them almost every single day of the past month!

HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Sigurno ste vec primjetili, ove pom pom sandale bile su pravi hit ovog ljeta! Ja vjerujem da je razlog tome sto su toliko sarene i vesele! Bas svaki put kada sam ih nosila, osjecala sam se sretno i bezbrizno :-) Malo blesavo, zar ne? haha, ali bas takav su "terapeutski" efekt imale na meni!
Prvi ducan u kojem sam ih zapazila, nije ih vise imao u mojoj velicini (bile su vise-manje rasprodane!) i bas kad sam se pocela miriti sa pomisli da sam zakasnila na ovaj trend i da ih ovo ljeto sigurno vise necu naci, otisli smo na put u Rovinj...i tamo sam ih skroz slucajno zapazila u jednom izlogu!!! Uvjerena da necu naci svoju velicinu, ali ipak sam usla u ducan i okusala srecu...Daaa, bio je to moj sretni dan (ali malo manje sretan za mog muzica, koji ove sandale ne podnosi! Gdje je njegova mastovitost!?)
Ja sam bila super uzbudjena zbog ove kupovine i, ne moram vam reci, nosila sam ih non stop proteklog mjeseca!

Boho vibes for the beach // Lignano, Kursaal

ENG: Finally, beach! My hubby & I were so busy in July that the whole month flew by without us even getting anywhere close to the beach :-( I'm desperate because of that and I hate to think that I'm actually happy that July is over! I love summertime and I can't stand watching summer days go by without me actually enjoying them to the fullest! Oh well, while others are partying, some of us have to work for a living, right? That's the way life goes...
On a happier note, I'm looking forward to my August adventures and cheers to that!
Btw...yes, I'm super pale on these photos. That's just my natural skin colour. I hope it doesn't bother you. I learned to love it!
These photos were taken in Lignano tourist resort, near the famous Kursaal discotheque, past month, when we were on our way to Croatia!

HR:  Konacno, fotke iz turistickog mjesta, konacno plaza! Muzic i ja bili smo toliko zaposleni ovaj mjesec, da se nismo stigli niti pribliziti moru :-( Ja sam ocajna zbog toga i uzasna mi je pomisao da se radujem sto je srpanj pri kraju! Obozavam ljeto i tesko mi je gledati kako ljetni dani izmicu, bez da ja uzivam u njima koliko bih zaista htjela! Ah, sto reci, dok se neki zabavljaju, neki od nas moraju i raditi da bi prezivjeli, zar ne? Jel' to tako nekako ide zivot?...
Prebacujem se na sretniju temu, radujem se avanturama koje mi predstoje u kolovozu! Zahvalna sam na tome i neka budu sto radosnije, sretnije i bezbriznije...drugo mi ne treba!
Jedan mali "btw" prije nego sto se odjavim...da, bijela sam ko' sir na ovim fotkama. Takva mi je boja koze. Nadam se da vam ne smeta. Ja sam ju naucila voljeti!
Fotke su nastale prije nekih mjesec dana kada smo muzic i ja bili na putu prema Hrvatskoj. Zaustavili smo se u Lignanu i proveli popodne sa drustvom na plazi, ispred poznatog disco-cluba Kursaal u kojem je nastupao taj dan i Gigi D'Agostino.

My ARM CANDY by Muwae Jewellery & Giveaway Winner!

ENG: Hi guys! I already talked to you about my collaboration with Muwae jewellery, so today I'd like to present you another two bracelets that I'm loving from their collection.
Especially in summer time, when I can wear short sleeves, or sleeveless tops, I like to have my arm candy, always stacking different bracelets together, for the unique and cool result :-)
I find that this summer season, I always use these two lovely pieces by Muwae. They're very pretty, and easy to combine with other jewellery pieces that I have.
Both bracelets can be used as necklaces too, or even anklets! You just need to be creative :-)

HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Vec sam vam pricala o mojoj suradnji sa Muwae nakitom, a danas vam zelim predstaviti jos dvije narukvice iz njihove bogate kolekcije.
Pogotovo u ljetno vrijeme, volim nositi narukvice, jer dolaze do izrazaja kada nosim majice na kratke rukave, ili ljetne topice. Stoga se ljeti volim poigrati svojim narukvicama i kombinirati vise njih, kako bi rezultat uvijek bio originalan i cool :-)
Ovog ljeta, najvise volim kombinirati ove dvije Muwae narukvice, uz ostale narukvice iz moje kolekcije nakita.
Obje narukvice mogu se nositi i kao orglice, treba vam samo malo kreativnosti! :-)

Boho Chic Summer Look // White Mini Summer Dress ♥

ENG: Hi guys! These photos were taken on one sunny Sunday when I was off work and out & about with my hubby! We went to a touristic place Eraclea Mare in Italy, and later on to visit my hubby's cousin who lives in a nearby tourist resort Porto Santa Margherita. It was a perfect day spent at the beach, and later on, pizza with family :-) 
What more could we ask for?

I wore my favourite summer dress from Pull & Bear, and added some layers as in the evening the weather got a bit chillier!
I like to think of this look as "romantic innocence meets military chic"...I think those are the words I'd use to describe it!

HR: Pozdrav ljudi! Ove fotografije nastale su jedne suncane nedjelje kada sam imala slobodan dan na poslu...iskoristila sam ga za mali izlet sa muzicem u turisticko mjesto Eraclea Mare, a kasnije predvecer otisli smo posjetiti muzevog bratica u obliznje turisticko naselje Porto Santa Margherita.
Bio je to savrsen dan proveden na plazi, a kasnije pizza sa obitelji :-) Sto smo vise mogli pozeljeti?

Ja sam nosila svoju omiljenu ljetnu haljinu iz Pull & Bear ducana, ali dodala sam i nekoliko slojeva kako se vecer spustala, jer postajalo je hladnije.
Ovaj outfit opisala bih kao "romanticna nevinost susrece vojnicki sik"...bolje zvuci na engleskom, ali te su rijeci koje me prve asociraju na ovaj outfit.
