Here are just a few pics of my outfit, taken this Sunday, just before we went to the beach!
In these pics you'll see me still sporting my "ombre" hair (ahem...my roots showing after 2 months of the last re-touching!), but yesterday I finally went to the hairdresser, so that's sorted out now :)
I'll show you the pics of my hair & another OOTD later on today, if I manage to write another post ;)
When we're going to the beach, we usually go by scooter, just because we want to avoid the big traffic jam!
If we go by car, we'll 100% sure get stuck in the traffic jam for more than 2 or 3 hours and instead of at the beach, spend our afternoon suffocating at the road!
Everybody goes at the beach on weekends, so scooter is a must!
So you'll understand that I can't actually wear mini-skirts, shorts or dresses ... :( and have to dress appropriately for the occasion and means of transportation! :)
Sunglasses: DM (Drogerie Markt)
Top: Bershka

In my today's video, I shared with you one part of my HUGE bikini/swimsuit collection :)
I live for the summer, I adore everything about it & if I could, I would spend my life at the beach!
That's why I'm such a big addict when it comes to beachwear shopping!
The swimsuits that I'm showing you today, are definitely among my favourites!
I like to shop for beachwear in these stores:
- Calzedonia
- Camaieu
- Goldenpoint
- Yamamay
- H&M
These are some of my favourite places for bikini shopping ;)
My bikinis last me definitely more than one season! I have bikinis in my collection, that have over six years and still look brand new!
I'm always very careful when it comes to maintaining them in a perfect condition: I always hand wash them and never leave them to dry at midday sun (I don't want the fabric to loose its shape and the colours to fade!)
Don't forget to check out my video, where I'm talking about the favourite bikinis in my collection & giving you some extra tips on how to find the right bikini for your body type!

& now, onto the tips in choosing the right bikini for your body type!
SMALL ON TOP
- Look for tops with a touch of padding, or an under- wire, demi- bra style that makes the most of a beautiful, dainty, bust line. Try to find a top with adjustable straps at shoulders and around back so that you can tighten and adjust things, to help fill out the top line. - You are very lucky that you have the body to wear those cute, ruffled tops that are so hot right now, so go for it. And as for bandeau tops, only you can wear those well. You can also show off in those tiny, tri- tops that the big busted girls only dream about. - Avoid tops with too much fabric or have a poor fit. Opt for separates, where you can choose your top and bottom separately.
BIG ON TOP
- You may need some extra support; underwire tops can work well and look great. - Halter- top bikinis are also good for you and will look very flattering on you. - One- piece swimsuits with some structure in the bust - Wide shoulder straps will be much more comfortable than thin, spaghetti straps.
SHORT LEGS OR TORSO
- Find a suit that is cut high on the tigh. - Vertical stripes can visually lengthen the body. - Wear a solid bottom bikini with a printed top. - A solid, one-piece suit with a plunging neckline.
LONG BODY SHAPE
- Go wild with the embellishments at the hips and bust line. Rings, jewels, ties and bows are all good things for you. - Horizontal stripes, fabrics such as stretch terry and velvet can be very flattering on your body. - Wear super bright colours, plus they're so trendy right now! - Cut- out one- piece swimsuit. - Boy shorts, ruffled skirts and cover- ups.
If I didn't mention your body type, don't worry, I'll do that in my next video/blog post, because SUMMER EDITION & all about swimsuits topic continues...
Enjoy these warm & sunny days!
...also, I wanted to kindly ask you to take a few seconds of your time and answer to my poll/survey that you can find on top right side of my blog. It's very quick & simple, but it'll help me out a lot!
Thank youuuuu :) BIG PINK KISS FROM ITALY, xoxo Sonja
I hope you're all doing well. Today was nice & sunny here in Italy so I met my friend Arianna, (from the blog Shiny Fairies ), in the afternoon hours. We went thrifting together!
It was super- successful and so much fun!
I got a lot of real steals!!!
I'll share my haul with you soon, this evening I filmed a video about it, but I still have to edit it, so it may take a few days...be patient girls, be patient please :)
Anyways, I wanted to show you my today's outfit, as I really love the color blocking trend that is so in style right now!
I personally love colours, so this trend couldn't be more me! ;)

This is a good option for anyone who is "affraid" to wear too colourful clothes...color block with accessories!
Just before I got ill with this nasty cold, I filmed my two ootd's...I just walked in front of the camera & when editing, put some music to make it more fun! Sorry, I didn't have any time free to stand in front of the camera & talk about the outfits, but I think the vid turned out great as it is!

My new fashion video is all about affordable fashion from H&M store.
I styled 3 different outfits, based on my recent purchases; I got a few things at H&M as they were having an in-store promotions going on. All the items that I got were between 3-5 €, a pretty good price, I'd say.
There was only one thing I got at full price, and it's this '80. inspired, cropped top, that I already featured in my Fashion Diary video (watch here!)
I really liked this clothing item, so I got it at full price!
It's also something that is very trendy right now, I actually saw Annie from 90210 wearing this top in one of the episodes ;)
She looked adorable!
Here are the outfits that I styled...
Outfit #1
Camel colour cardigan, blue dress & black leggings are by H&M.
Boots: Vagabond
Another clothing item as seen on one of the 90210 characters!
This exact cardigan (or a VERY similar one) was wearing Adrianna,
in one of the 90210 episodes :)
She paired this with an electric blue top with ruffles!
Also adorable combination :)
Earrings: Handmade by MOI ;)

Outfit #2
Top & jeggings are by H&M
Golden top that I'm wearing as a first layer is by Intimissimi.
A very unusual ring is a gift from my friend Liley.
When I'm wearing this ring, people are always staring at it
& asking me about it!
I couldn't resist to this cropped top, '80. inspired.
Annie was wearing one just like this in one of the
recent 90210 episode!
Outfit #3
Total black.
Total H&M :)
I love the neckline on this top.
Also, loving the black rhinestones :)
This is a great clothing item for whenever you need to appear
very elegant, or for various special occasions.
These were the outfits that I put together inspired by my recent H&M haul ;)
