Gray Midi Skirt

Skirt H&M (similar from Topshop at The Bay), heels unknown Ebay, dress (worn as top) Forever 21, clutch Chapters


Toronto is all snowed in again. Ugh. It's a good thing I snapped these photos over the weekend when weather was absolutely gorgeous. Today's outfit is quite a departure from yesterday's, don't you think? Definitely not a tomboy look. It's been a while since I wore this midi A-line skirt from H&M. It is very demur if you ask me. It brings out the lady in me every time I wear it :). One thing you have to watch out for when it comes to wearing this style of a skirt, if you are on a shorter side like me, it's making sure that the hem hits you in the right spot. An inch up or down can make a huge difference. So test it out in front of a mirror and make sure you take it to a tailor to make it just perfect for you. Those of you who have been blessed with long legs, don't have to worry. If you are a petite, I would definitely stay away from midi skirts, you are better off with shorter skater style. Now, I'm not sure if it's just me, but these photos look like they were taken at an old train stations. Something about the skirt, the bricks and the bench make me feel like I went back in time and like a true lady, I'm waiting for a train. I'm just missing a hat and a different bag to go with it. What do you think? Do you agree or am I officially loosing it? hahaha. Ciao!
Toronto je opet prekriven snegom. Dobro je pa ne cujete moje jecaje. Na srecu ove slike su uslikane preko vikenda kada je napolju bilo prelepo vreme. Danasnji outfit je definitivno kompletan kontrast jucerasnjem, zar ne? Od davno nisam imala sansu da pronosam ovu divnu suknju iz H&M. Dopada mi se jer je vrlo zenstvena i kada god je nosim osecam se kao dama u njoj. Ako ste niske kao ja, morate dobro obratiti paznju na duzinu suknje. Ako je potrebno malo da je skratite obavezno to uradite inace ce te izgledati zdepaste. Ako ste blazene dugim nogama, vi nemate brige. A vi dame koje ste jako niske izbegavajte ovu duzinu i model po svaku cenu. Bolje ce vam pristajati kratke suknjice. A sto se tice ovih slika, ne znam da li je to samo u mojoj glavi, ali me podsecaju kao da su uslikane na nekoj staroj zeleznickoj stanici. Kada ih gledam, dal zbog cigli, klupe ili stila suknje, imam osecaj da sam odputovala nazad u vreme, nekin davnih 40tih ili 50til i cekam na voz. Jedino mi jos nedostaje sesir prikladan toj epohi i odgovarajuca tasnica. Da li se i vama tako cini ili sam sam konacno malo prolupala? hahahah Cao!

The Very First Outfit Post

        I took a few outfit pictures over the last few days, as I was running around my day and I wasn’t sure what would be the first one to post. I debated and as the days went by and weather changed (it seems every day it was a different season), I decided to go with the very first one I shot. This one I actually took last month at the High Park.   It was the last few days when you could see the cherry tree blossom so I did not want to miss out on it. I love spring only for this reason, trees and flowers blossoming. And the fact that it is a sign that the summer is just around the corner (I am still waiting for this corner though), but it is a sign.      A little nervous giggle              Sweater Costa Blanca, white tee H&M, rings, earrings, necklaces and leggings Forever 21, watch Michael Kors, bag Louis Vuitton, sneakers Urban Planet, sunglasses Ray Ban   This is a very casual outfit and very odd for me in the sense that

Sightseeing Montreal In Hot Pink Sneakers & Ripped Jeans

  Jeans & jacket Zara, sneakers Nike, shirt H&M, bag Steve Madden, sunglasses unknown, belt Danier (men's section), chain ring Forever 21, midi ring H&M, forefinger gold rings gifts    Day one in Montreal was the cocktail party and then walking the streets of old Montreal at night and testing out different patios and bars. Day two in Montreal, was again walking the beautiful streets of old Montreal and testing out patios, but now in daylight, hehehe. Oh and lets not forget, blog picture taking. I forget how beautiful this city is and am reminded every time I come back. Then, I wonder why I don't come back more often. It is gorgeous, vibrant and people are extremely warm. It has such a European flare, which I often miss, and this is a quick way for me to get that fix once in a while, without having to fly over an ocean. These pictures were snapped around St Denis street as well as around Catherdral Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal. I was comfortable in my new N

Are You Blushing Yet?

  Heels Pour La Victoire (Winners), skinnies Nasty Gal (similar here and here ), top H&M, coat Le Chateau (old), bag H&S Handbags , rings Forever 21, watch unknown, sunglasses Ray Ban   Quite the opposite of yesterdays leather look, we are moving on today to a soft blush pink. Pink is very big this season and in particular blush or pastel pink. My first reaction was rather negative to this trend until I realized how many items I have in my wardrobe that are of that colour. So today, even my accessories are blush pink. To break it up a bit I kept the handbag and the pants winter white. What do you think? Thank you for your comments! Ciao! Danas idemo u kompletno suprotnom smeru od jucerasnjeg koznog sorca. Danas govorimo o bebi roze boji. Roza, a pogotovo bebi ili pastelno roza su itekako u trendu ove jeseni. Moja prva reakcija na ovaj trend je bila vise negativna dok nisam uvidela koliko samo komada odece i nakita imam u ovoj boji. Za danasnji outfit stavila sa

Have You Visited Positano & Amalfi Coast Yet?

Pants Zara, jacket Zara, sneakers Forever21, bag unknown (Winners), dress unknown ( similar ), ankle boots PrettyLittleThings There are still quite a few more outfits and cities I’ll be featuring on the blog from my last year’s trip to Italy, however today I’m sharing this post from the last location we visited: beautiful Positano. As we visited Italy in the fall, outfits left to share are more fall appropriate, so I will share them come September. I’ll be dealing with two little babies then so God knows how much time I will have to shoot new outfits. As I’m laying on my couch bored out of my mind counting down the days to my delivery next week (whooohoooo!!!) I’m experiencing such FOMO. Partially because I won’t be going on vacation this summer (though becoming a mom to two little girls is quite awesome!!) and partially because I’m reminiscing of my travels last year. Positano seems to still be one of the most photographed summer destinations so I’m sharing a few pictures f
