Look of the day: FLAMES JUST CREATE US, BURNS DON'T HEAL LIKE BEFORE

Okay so Maja and I had a really great idea to shoot like crazy people today (cause we haven't in such a long time and we love making fools of ourselves wherever we go) (seriously, she's already taken photos of me in front of churches, on the beach, in the middle of I don't know how many cities, on a bridge, and not to mention random pretty streets) but after ten minutes my Nikon shut down although the battery was almost fully charged and oh, I didn't have the charger with me, so that's that. I ended up having to choose between only a handful of photos, but decided to show them cause I'm completely blown away by this gorgeous dress. 

One of my mini-resolutions for this year is to polish my style a little bit. I realized my wardrobe's starting to look more like a b&w movie and less like a disco on roller skates (although I continue to love my glitter), but I still love statement pieces like this one that only need a blazer and heels and you're so ready to go. Sleek.

Oh, and for those who will ask - the lyrics in the title are by Ed Sheeran, my current obsession. (Maybe I'll add his concert to my resolutions list, too)

The dress is by Sheinside, Benetton blazer and Zara heels.

XOXO,
Lucija

P.S.
Only 26 to go!

Look of the day: HOW I ROLL

Today's discovery: old attics are a great place to shoot outfits. 
When I think of it, this one especially since it's my go-to combination for a casual night out in the city. Love how the old bricks give a charm to the whole look.
For me, the beginning of autumn is a great opportunity to style my summer pieces and tone them down with  jeans which, let's be honest, is not my favourite piece at all.
Roll them down so your heels pop, and you're ready to go!

Wearing:
H&M shirt, Gap jeans, Zara heels, Accessorize clutch, vintage jewelry + my Lucija gold necklace 

XOXO,

The prom...

I'm all mixed feelings right now - you know? So happy because I had the best prom ever but at the same time sad because it's all over. My hairdo is no longer lasting, I took my make up off and the dress, the heels and the accessories are neatly put in my closet. 

When I first started thinking about how I want to look at prom, I had a sliiiightly different idea than how it all actually turned out. My ultra glam dress didn't really seem so appropriate for a high school event and I decided to save the design for some other occasion. 

After careful consideration and a loooot of hours spent browsing all kinds of internet spaces where one goes to relax and dream, I narrowed my choice to the color green. The thought was to do a really romantic, but yet an edgy look. That's why when I did sketch the final design I decided that the skirt will be flowy and really simple so it won't steal the show from the corset - I loved the idea of playing with the fabric to get the draping in a way it almost looks like a braid. It took a lot of work and quite a few fittings to get the final look - my seamstress did an amazing job, as usual, and I couldn't be happier.

When it comes to the accesories - the bag was actually the first thing I bought, before the dress was even in the process of being made. I love the black and gold details and the shape is amazing - so 1920s.

After came the earrings. First I thought of black rich long earrings, but I needed to give the look a twist, and as I'm so in love with anything feathery, is there anything better than this pair?

The shoes - ohhh, another story. I found another pair online and intended to order them, but they sold out that day and were never again in stock. But, it was actually a great thing I didn't order those, no matter how insanely cute they looked. These Zara heels are much more me. When my friends saw them, they said I couldn't have found a better pair... So true!

Okay, I'm gonna stop talking now and leave you with the photos... 

XOXO,
Lucija
