Skirt and blouse Zara, heels Heels.com, ring (street buy Madrid), bandeau Springfield, clutch (gift, old) As my days fly by, I manage to squeeze in a little time for another new post. I am already in Malaga but the pictures in this post were taken on the rooftop of our hotel in Madrid and in the hotel lobby. This is an absolutely amazing hotel called Vincci Via 61, in the city centre. The staff is amazing and it is just beautifully decorated. I have an issue with public bathrooms and tubs,  but this hotel is so clean and just modern enough that you feel like you are in a spa. When we visited Madrid five years ago, we stayed in this same hotel. Back to the oufit :).  This was an outfit I wore to a business diner couple of nights ago. A bright Mediterranean blue skirt from Zara.  When I bought it, it was an awkward length on me, neither mid/below knee nor a mini. I already have a blue pencil skirt so I chose to make it into a mini. I love the pleats o...

Skirt Mendocino, top Stradivarius (old), belt Danier (men’s department), earrings Spring (old), bracelets (small boutique in Madrid), glasses Ray Ban, bag Winners, shoes Spring (really old but comfy). As I mentioned before I don’t like to travel heavy so I have to pre plan to combine one same piece of clothing for dressy and casual occasions. This maxi skirt you have seen on me before ( here ) came in as a very versatile piece. I wore it here during the day in a more casual way but also at night to go out. I will post that outfit another day. It was very comfortable yet still very stylish for walking around town and taking in the sights. Did I mention there are way too many patios and squares here to enjoy them all on one visit? Well, we did our best to enjoy as many as we could, but I think we are losing that battle. But we keep on fighting J . What are your thoughts about this combination for the maxi skirt? Ciao! Aleksandra <3 ...

Overalls, shoes and top Stradivarius, clutch Spring (old), bracelets new (little boutique in Madrid), blue ring Ebay, bronze ring F21, earrings Spring (old) Hello again from beautiful Madrid. I have been trying to maximize my time here, but it seems there is never enough time when you are enjoying yourself. There is so much to see and do, and just sooooo many squares and patios to sit on and relax and take in the beauty. I swear, no matter where I sat down, whether it was in the city centre or in hidden away little streets and squares, when you look around or up, the view is just beautiful. The architecture is amazing! I look at that and then look at our architecture today. What will we leave for our kids to remember us by? Glass or concrete buildings? I know, I know, there are different styles, but somehow I love anything else but modern. And I just love the relaxed attitude of the Spanish and Europeans in general. They never seem to be in a hurry. I guess it’s no...

Hello from beautiful and warm Madrid! My very first and very quick post. I have tried to enjoy last few days without thinking too much about the blog.  Then today when I finally had some free time, I wanted to post one only to realize my battery has died and I did not have a converter. It took a while to find one. Then I also got really busy just shopping so I managed to get to my room not too long ago. I go so into the shopping mood that I completely forgot to eat. I only had a croissant all day. I'm starving now, needless to say :). I'm glad I left my luggage half empty, which leaves me with enough room for new things :). I only brought 5 pairs of shoes which is amazing for me. I normally never go without 10. The hardest thing for me to pack is always jewelry because I bring a lot of rings and necklaces, just in case. To prevent them from being lost or get tangled, I bought nice little mesh drawstring gift bags ( here ). You can also find them for cheaper in Dollar store...

Skirt ( similar ) and ring Forever 21, shoes Steve Madden, shirt Aritzia, snake necklace and snake bracelet Ebay, clutch Aldo ( similar ), belt ASOS Last few items to be packed and I am ready to go! I still managed to sneak in a little time to take a few pictures. All of the items in this outfit except for the skirt, you have already seen on me only combined differently. I love getting a lot of wear out of one piece of clothing and love to see it mixed with different styles. This time my chambray shirt is combined with a more sexy/cute and puffy (for a lack of a better expression this moment) skirt. I love these types of skirts because they give me an illusion of more curves and smaller waist. But I also got it because I absolutely love the colour. It just makes me really happy to wear it. Normally I am not a fan of satin because it reminds me way too much of dresses girls like to wear to weddings. Actually, I notice that is happening less and less, but at one point all I cou...

    A quick post tonight. Sorry for the tired face. I have been running on 4-5 hour sleep last few days. And my camera guy could not do any wonders to help me either J . What can I do? Deep set eastern European eyes give away any trace of tiredness hehe.   Though, somehow I always feel that I don’t look as tired in person. You trust me on that right? J I should probably rethink getting a Photoshop J . Oh well, it is what it is. Just a part of life. I was going out for a dinner with some friends and felt that I needed to dress little more classic, hence the white shirt. But that is about it for me. I could not go classic all the way, just not me (unless I am going for an interview).   So I mixed it up with a black suede classic pump and these completely destroyed jeans from Zara. I love mixing soft and edgy together. Add a side braid (or tail), hot pink clutch and I am a happy camper. I highly recommend this white shirt from Zara (about $60), amazing quality,...
