Look of the day: BASEBALL JACKET

Every season there are trends set by big fashion houses - I never foolishly follow them all. (Too much effor) (& way too much money spent on clothing that will be worn for only a season) Instead, I choose a few I like the most (like the most means when I look at Elle UK Collections for no. 556 time and still drool over a certain trend) and try to find a piece or two which suit me the best. 

This year those trends are.... (Drumroll!!)

The baseball jacket

Neon

Minimalism

Okay, I shall explain. (You're probably wondering where are the pastel colors) (I know you are)

The baseball jacket, I have loved it since the first time I saw it. For me it says "I'm young, I'm foolish, let's have fun. No worries." Perfect for the last months of the final year in high school. (Just the right attitude) (Or NOT)

Neon... I just love love love green. And yellow. And apples. And apples remind me of neon. And I love neon lights. And I have loved neon 3 times more since I saw the Cambridge satchels in neon. 

Minimalism... Okay, this one is still in progress because I still haven't figured out how not to put at least 20 things on my body in the morning and be minimalistic. So I leave that for the future. (Hopefully...)

I'm not particularly fond of the pastels... Don't know why. I get why everyone's crazy about them (You can be a little innocent girl again and all that) (Maybe that's the reason I'm not so into the whole thing... Hmmm?!) & I really LOVE mint, but am not quite sure it suits me. I shall stick to seeing pastels on people and saying how pretty they look. But wearing is not an option. 

Okay, I forgot prints, but I'm always super into prints so that doesn't count as a trend. I'm always loving prints, just like Anna Dello Russo. (& just like her, I also love the enormous cherry-shaped headbands... super amazing!!)

And you know what?

One of the things I haven't realized about the baseball jacket until the moment until I first held it in my hands is that it's so so so versatile. For example, who would think this gold Zara sweater could look so cool? Ohhhhhhhh and did you see the polka dot lining in the last photo?! Perfection!!

Wearing:

3Suisses baseball jacket, Zara knit sweater, Benetton shorts, Zara boots, Dorothy Perkins bag, Citizen watch, Ray Ban sunnies

XOXO,

Look of the day: DENIM ON DENIM

I've been in love with the combination of denim on denim for a long time now but never really tried it on - until today. I almost forgot about this skirt and while going through my closet this morning (had an insane rush of energy & was extremely hyper) (usually I'm cranky as hell) I found this pretty thing and it was like I saw my love again. Such a great feeling & it was such a great day today, too!! Haven't had one like this in ages. The only thing missing was some vintage shopping, I guess I'll leave that for tomorrow ;)

Oh, I'm wearing:
Topshop denim shirt, vintage skirt, H&M bag, Benetton blazer, Zara boots, Swatch watch, H&M bracelets, Ray Ban sunnies

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
