Hello beauties! I have a little "New In" from Rosegal to share :-) I hope that you'll like the bits that I picked out & hopefully this serves you as an inspiration. I know I like to take a peek at these types of posts because I like to see how the item actually looks like in real life, and also find out a bit more about sizing and other things that might be useful to know, before placing an order. This is a total of $ 65,37 spent (I actually had two orders).
Items shown in this haul:
Saturday Crew Neck Letter Jacquard Sweater (SOLD OUT) Trendy Shirt Collar Long Sleeve Color Spliced Plaid Shirt (SOLD OUT)
Fashionable Round Collar Star Pattern Long Sleeve Cardigan For Women - Black - One Size(fit Size Xs To M) (SOLD OUT)Stripe Side Slit Open Front Cardigan - Palomino - One Size: HERE
Heart Shape Collarbone Necklace - Golden: HERE
Statement Hollow Out Hoop Earrings - Silver: HERE
Circle Vintage Hoop Earrings - Golden: HERE
Rosegal offers free shipping, but I'd suggest to add tracking number + shipping insurance (there is a small fee to pay). If you choose the free shipping option, arm yourself with patience; you'll need to wait several weeks for your package to arrive. There is a nice selection of trendy jewellery at very affordable prices, and their sweaters, cardigans and hoodies are also very nice, so I always take a look at their current offer. The items get sold out pretty fast, especially if they're on promotion, so make sure to double check if the item that you'd like to order is in stock, and always go for the items that have "priority shipping" (which means they'll ship out 3-5 days after placing an order). They also have tons of new arrivals, so take a peek often: You might be the first one to get that trendy new arrival, at great deal! Always check the size chart and customer's reviews (if there is any), that's always super helpful, as sizing can be a little bit tricky and often items run small. I hope that these few tips were helpful! If you'd like to see how all these items look like on, and some extra tips on how to successfully shop at Rosegal, take a look at my haul video:

In this post I'm going to share with you this fun TAG that I did with my lovely youtube friend of many years, Michela!
As I already mentioned, I love doing collabs with my blogger and vlogger friends, it's the best way to get to know each other a bit better and support each other.
I also love participating in TAGs and similar challenges as I think they're always fun to watch!
So Michela and I filmed a video TAG, "Living Abroad" in which we both answer to some questions and talk about our experience of living in a foreign country.
As you guys probably already know, I'm Croatian and I have been living in Italy for the past 10 years now! Actually, in July of this year it's going to be 11 years! That's crazy, right? It definitely sounds surreal to me, time flies by so incredibly fast!!!
My husband is Italian (born in Venice), and he is the reason why I moved from Croatia.
Ever since I moved to Italy, I've been living very close to Venice, a beautiful tourist attraction known for its beauty in the whole world!
I love living here, but Italy is full of gorgeous places that tell history, culture, tradition...a true must see for every curious tourist!
For example, I was left speachless by Rome's beauty!
Me doing some sightseeing in Rome: This is the gorgeous Fontana di Trevi.
It was so splendid, white and shiny (that year when we visited they had just finished restoring it, and it was a work that took place for many years!)
In front of the ancient Colosseum!
Michela, on the other hand, is Italian and she lives in Northern Ireland.
She also had a lot of interesting things to say about her experience, as an Italian and a true sun and food lover, of living in always cloudy northern country! But on the contrary of what you may think, she seems to love it!
We talk & talk & talk some more (lol, we sad a lot to say) about our experiences in our TAG videos, so if you fancy taking a look, here is mine.
5) Have you ever lived in another country? Which one?
6) How old are you?
7) Why did you decide to move abroad?
8) Was it hard do get a residence permit/visas?
9) What was the worst experience you've had there?
10) Tells us about a tourist attraction/sightseeing place you like and talk a little bit about it.
11) Do you speak the local language? Do you think it's important to learn it?
12) What do you think about the country you live in? How well do they receive foreigners?
13) Do you miss your family?
14) What products from your home country do you miss the most?
15) What are your plans for the future? Do you want to live there forever?
16) What's something you use everyday where you live that you think your home country should also have?
17)What suggestions or tips would you give to someone who wants to live in this country?
18) If you could describe in one word your experience in this country, what would it be?
In the video, I somehow skipped a question (#17), so I promised I would answer to it in my blog post!
What suggestions or tips would you give to someone who wants to live in this country?
Whether it's a short term, or a long term stay, I'd say go for it!
Italy is a country that isn't difficult to adjust to! It's a very beautiful country, known for many tourist attractions, history, tradition and culture. Try to make the most out of your stay here and visit it from North to South!
Also, enjoy the food! Italians are true gourmands and they truly have some of the best world's delicacy to offer (as a part of their normal, everyday cuisine and lifestyle!)
Italians love to sing and are usually very friendly.
However, the years of economic crisis that stroke Italy (and the rest of the Europe for that matter), left its trace, so sometimes you can come across them being not so polite and closed towards receiving foreigners. However, that's a smaller percentage of population, at least in my opinion!
Every culture is different and you'll probably come across some culture shock: But be open minded, try to embrace the good and the bad this country has to offer and don't try to compare it to your own country (of course you're going to be homesick at times, but it's only natural to feel this way).
Try to learn the language, as it'll help you make friends. Many places offer free Italian lessons for foreigners!
It's important to know the language to feel as a part of the community and not to feel isolated: The majority of Italians aren't really brilliant at English!
These were some of my tips for how to live happily in Italy. I hope I was able to help a bit.
Let me know, have you ever lived abroad? If so, where and how was your experience?
I'd love to hear everything about it!!!
xo from Italy,

Hello lovelies! I hope you all had great weekend! Thanks for stopping by my blog & following, it means a lot! It's super cold here in Italy, so we're staying in, waiting for the spring to arrive! I'm starting this new series (#mommymonday), in which I'll try to post, every monday, a mommy related topic :-) I hope a lot of you will find it interesting, and if I skip some mondays...well, that's mommy's life (it's not always easy to find time to post, especially if there's a schedule to stick to!). Anyway, today I'd like to share with you some pics from my little son's BIG first birthday! He turned one past month, on 20th. of Januray, and I honestly can't believe how quickly a whole year has gone by. Babies grow SO MUCH in one year! He now eats solids, walks on his own, has 8 teeth...he's very articulate too (haha), but I'm still waiting for his "real" first words. We have so much fun together, and I enjoy every minute of being his mommy :-) I don't share photos of my son on social medias, but here I'll share a few!
He had a strawberry cheesecake as his birthday cake, and my hubby made it for him the night before! I made him a banana bread, and we also had tiramisu (that my hubby also made)! It was a very big party, we had more than 35 invites, and at some point there wasn't enough space in the appartment for everybody to fit it! (lol) Too bad it was cold winter weather, so having a party outside in our backyard wasn't an option! On the last photo of us with a cake, you can see my hubby holding Sebastian's little cousin, Pietro. Pietro is just 4 months older than Sebastian. In the first year of babies' life, 4 months of difference is a lot, as they make tremendous progress with each month, but later on in life, 4 months is nothing! Looking at the photo, I can't help but wonder how cute would it be to have 2 little boys...
Now, let's talk a bit about the fashion aspect of these photos...As the title says, I wore Zaful! This winter, I got so many things from Zaful (some of the coolest sweaters, that I'm yet to share with you!). In the first photos I wore white ruffle collar plain ribbed knitwear sweater that I absolutely love, and in the second set of photos (with the baloons), I wore oversized braided sleeve pullover sweater in pink, on top of my plaid shirt. These are super trendy, but also really warm, and well made! I always find such good deals and cute stuff at Zaful that it's quickly become one of my favourite on line shopping destinations :-) Let me know where do you like to shop on line? (I'm thinking of doing a little guide of my TOP 10 fave on line shops, so let me know if you'd like to see a blog post about that!) As a mommy, I like to dress casual but cute, I like my clothes to be comfy and functional but still on trend! Running after my little son is a full time job now, haha, so I need to feel comfort in the clothes I'm wearing, but as a true fashionista, I refuse to give up on style :-) That's all for this #mommymonday post! I'll talk to you soon (ootd posts are coming up), and for all the mommies out there, stay tuned for next monday's post where I'll be reviewing Medela nipple shields and sharing some breastfeeding tips and personal experiences!
