Look of the day: SPARKLY SHOES

 THE TALE OF SPARKLY SHOES

You know, I love these shoes so much they deserve their tale to be told. (Ohhhh, I'm getting good at this) (You know, telling stories dramatically)
Soooo, when I was a little girl (and I gotta tell you, it's not that I remember that) (I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday) (So, no, it's not possible for me to know what happened some time ago) (I hope they figure out the formulas for the pills soon) I used to do all sorts of things - jewerly, knits and stuff, some with my mom, some with my grandma, some alone or with friends. I also colored and painted way too much and always put up little shows for my family and they would sit through the whole show and then they were expected to aplaud me for ages - it was hilarious. (at least that's what I'm told)
So, to sum up (you weren't expecting me to say that ever, right?!), I was a creative little person. As I am very very very busy trying to be as smart as possible and shoot as many photos as possible and do as much great posts as possible (I do loads of stuff, yep) I cannot do all those things, but when I get tired of the same  shops in Croatia & after I realize most of my favourite online shops don't ship to Croatia (which happens frequently), I decide to DIY. (actually it's Do It Myself, but it would just look weird)
These shiny/sparkly/glittery/pretty/awesome shoes were a project I was working on for a loooooong time. (The amount of the letter o I put in there is not merely enough) After I was done, I had serious back pains + could quote all the episodes of season 1 Grey's Anatomy + had sequins and several needles all over my bedroom floor. But, I was also insanely happy because these shoes, 2 years later, are still my favourite. 

And this post is also special because this is the first time you get to see some spontaneous photos in the post - if you haven't realized it yet, no. 3 & 5...  So, that how I act normally. How says I'm being all serious all the time now? Ha?! ;) 

Wearing:
H&M top and bag, Benetton blazer and shorts, shoes by me 

Have an amazing weekend everybody!!

XOXO,
Lucija

Look of the day: FLORAL JACKET

When I think of spring, my first association somehow are flowers. Not in the regular style - you know, a bouquet of pretty somethings (I only know how tulips and roses look like, so no, I'm not a flower type of girl) (And just so you know, I'd always choose tulips) (And if the previous statement didn't disappoint you enough, I'd choose dark purple ones) (With every post I realize a bit more how impeccably classy I am!!), but in terms of clothing and colors which are so much prettier in the spring. Yeah, yeah, it's always nice to see a bright pink coat in the middle of the winter (Hint hint hint: ME ME ME), but if you think color - you think spring and summer. 

And when I think color, I always think the floral pieces in my closet. Okay, there is not much of them there, but I love how special they feel when I put them on... So, in this post I'm featuring my favourite jacket which I bought in London sometime ago - I love wearing black with it.

Wearing:

H&M jacket, Zara top, shorts by me, Aldo bag & shoes, Accessorize earrings, Ray Ban sunnies

XOXO,

Lucija

Look of the day: AFTER THE RAIN

There's no better feeling than stepping outside a car when the rain stops after pouring down for half an hour and suddenly, there's light and there's sun, but it's still a bit chilly. Just one of many reasons why I love love love spring. (Ohhhh, talking about spring, I can't explain to you how much I miss the sea - if only I had the time to go for a few days and shoot and just enjoy myself, ahhhh!!)

Okay, enough ramble jamble, I should get some sleep already - the time difference between The States and Croatia is killing me. (Oscars talk) (more ramble jamble) 

Ohhh, I promise to do a post soon about how much I love/hate/prefer something (& as usually, mention about 20 different things, too)

Okay, now I really gotta go. See you soon!!

XOXO,

Lucija

P.S.

Wearing: 

Zara gold sweater, Mexx jeans (addicted), La Redoute shoes (so much fun), my absolute favourite gold Lucija necklace (gifted), my friend's trench (it's Topshop) (I gotta get one for myself, it's amazing), Ray Ban sunnies, H&M bracelet, vintage watch 

P.P.S.

One day I'm gonna forget.... hmmmm, possibilities (in in descending order of likelihood):

no.1 - to mention what I'm wearing

no.2 - to  publish the post (after writing it) (and just close the window) (totally amazed how this hasn't happened yet)

no.3 - to upload the photos (& then you'll all be like "what's she quacking about?!") (like you don't question that already)

no. 4 - to just forget about the whole post (although I have the outfit photos)

no. 5 - to forget to even shoot the outfit photos

If the last happens, round's on me everyone.

P.P.P.S.

I really don't know how this post got so long...

Look of the day: DENIM DRESS

I had the best afternoon with my best friend today!! (you can see that clearly in the last photo ;))

This dress was a gift for my sixteenth birthday and I'm still in love with it - it so versatile. Today I wore it with my H&M shirt, H&M tights, ALDO shoes, S. Oliver jacket and my Ray Ban sunnies.

Ohhhh, I forgot - the dress is by Mango.

XOXO,

Lucija

Look of the day: MINIMALISM

I don't think I could ever stop wearing this LBD. 
And come to think of it, I almost didn't buy it when I was in Vienna during the Christmas holidays. We were in such a rush (we wanted to visit the market or to be precise, we wanted to eat pancakes and buy candy) and I remember trying it on in the middle of the store and thinking: "Oh, what the heck, it's on sale!!"
And come to think of it no.2, this is probably the most-worn garnment in my closet, and a few hours ago, when I was browsing through my granma's closet, I found a perfect blazer to be worn with this in spring. Gorgeous!! 

Wearing:
H&M dress, Zara boots, coat by me, Dorothy Perkins bag, Forever 21 necklace, vintage watch, vintage ring

XOXO,
Lucija

Look of the day: FUNNY THINGS

Okaaaaaaaaay, two things are on the menu today....

Thing no. 1
I am an impulsive shopper. Like, the day before yesterday, I walk into the Zara store and I see these perfect beige booties and I casually take a pair of my size (Anyone else so experienced they can define what size the shoes are just by looking at them?) (Yeah, yeah, shoes are my weakness) and think how I'm just gonna try them on - just to see. Result? Fifteen minutes later, at 8.30 pm, (while all the shop assistants are either casually chatting or cleaning or slowly getting ready to leave ASAP) I'm standing in front of the mirror in Zara desperately in love with them (Ohhhhh, the leather!!) (Ohhhhh, the color!!) (Ohhhhhh, the perfect heel!!) (Ohhhhh and look at my legs!!) and thinking about all the outfits they fit in. (= gazillion!!) My friend, who was initially looking for boots, comes to me after browsing the store and finding nothing (in the end, I found her a pair, too!!) (Just to feel less guilty) and says: OMG, they are so pretty!! I realise that must be a sign from God (who is actually saying I shall not wait) (& Buy. Them. Right. Now.) and decide I have to have them. Then I think how quickly things disappear from Zara stores (that's probably one of few things which I can't really think of an explanation for - totally bizzare) and end up walking out of Zara store, my wallet much thinner and feeling extatic. 

Thing no. 2  
(btw Thing no.1 and Thing no.2 totally remind me of Bananas in Pyjamas - remember that?!)
I think this whole thing is best to be told in retrospect. So, to begin with the ending - I end up wearing my new favourite boots the morning after.
There were several reasons for that. (& severe consequences, too)
I put them on my shelf just so I can stare at them every time I enter/leave my room. (Usually I stop, too, and take them in my hands and stare at them some more) (& people wonder why I'm always late!!)
The snow was starting to melt and in my street there were no traces of snow at all. (Well, if 'my street' means the few feet I see from my window) 
When I woke up, I saw my denim shirt just waiting for me to wear it. 
And there was nothing better than pairing it with the cute cute cute booties I just bought + there was no visible snow on the ground + if I wear them, I can occassionally look at them every five seconds the whole day.
See? No cons!!
Result? I end up nearly falling every two-three feet because there is still so much snow (and ice!!) (and sometimes that thing between snow and ice - yuck) on the ground it's horrifying + I walk so slow I even get on my own nerves + when I get home my feet hurt so much (because I was walking all day across the city in them) (& the shoes have never been worn before) I walk like I'm trying to shuffle, but am just bad at it. (+ I woke up today and my left foot was still kind of aching, but you never know - maybe I do karate kicks in my sleep)

THE END

XOXO,

Lucija

P.S.
I'm wearing the coat by me, Topshop shirt, H&M scarf, Mexx jeans, Zara boots and the bag originally from Accessorize but embellished by me

Look of the day: LEATHER PANTS

As it's still freazing outside and I look like a penguin every time I go somewhere, I decided I will shoot yet another post from the comfort of my room. I really love these leather pants I bought in Vienna and it seems I can't take my Aldo booties off my feet. 
Ohhh, and did you notice how long my hair is?!

Wearing:
H&M Rolling Stones shirt, Benetton blazer, Zara leather pants, Aldo wedges, Accessorize clutch and vintage earrings and watch

XOXO,
Lucija

Look of the day: MOM'S POCKET WATCH

I don't know what got into me, but today I found myself dreaming about spring. Totally dumbstruck, I looked around to see if anyone noticed I'm going nuts and than returned to my thoughts.

Only this wild cold can turn me into a crazy summer lover. (That's why the photos are once again taken in my house, it's absolutely impossible to take off all the layers everyone's wearing these days somewhere outside) (Too much wool for my taste, but noone even cares any more, if it's warm enough - that's it) (So you end up seeing too many ninja-likes on the streets - I can't decide what's the better name for that sort of people - Anonymous or Ninja?!) (So I end up using both, hilarious) (Not so much when I use 'so' so much - see?!) (You lost? Yeah, me too.)

Sooooo, (you should see me in person, all you hear are 'btws' and 'honeys') (one day I bet there'll be rehab for those sorts of things) in order to get myself back on track, I shall take some photos in the snow tomorrow or better said freeze to the point where my fingers stop aching and I feel nothing. (I almost wrote Toodles!, but it would be too much, right?) (Okay. Enough. Talking. Bye.)

XOXO,

Lucija

Ohhhh and I'm wearing:

Vintage jacket, shirt by me, Mexx jeans, H&M glitter socks, ALDO shoes, Topshop bag, Swarovski earrings & my mom's pocket watch. 

Look of the day: FAUX FUR

I finally got to use my tripod. Madonna was on, lights were on & the set was totally on fire. (the fur is really warm when you wear it inside the house, can you imagine?!)

So, here is me in party mode - I so love the fur, and these amazing Aldo booties just came in the mail today. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!

Wearing:

Zara faux fur, H&M sweater dress, Aldo booties, H&M clutch, necklace was a gift for my birthday

XOXO,

Lucija
