A Red Pencil

 
 Skirt Jacobs, heels Forever 21, shirt TNA (Aritzia), sunglasses Prada, gloves Ebay, bag Louis Vuitton, belt Ardene, watch unknown
 
 

Last outfit for the week, to close off our mid-century skirt fall trend, is a pencil skirt which also became popular in the mid-40s. This may be my favourite style. Not necessarily the best fitting one for my boyish body shape, but my favourite. I own quite a few different designs, colours and materials. Every girl should have at least couple of pencil skirts in their closet; one classic black and one bright hued one. Red seems to be a great choice. It is acceptable in an office environment but is sexy enough to wear out as well. There is a style of a pencil skirt that can be found for every body shape, so make sure you find yourself one. If you are on a heavier side, choose one with thinker, better quality material. Thin ones usually show off every imperfection, and you want to feel great wearing a pencil skirt and not worry about how it looks on you. Even if you are very slim, thicker material will add volume to your body and therefore create more curves. If you are blessed with curves and hips this is a must style for you. I opt for high waist ones that go up to the narrowest area of my mid-section in order to create an hourglass silhouette. I also often wear a slim belt around it to accentuate the waist even more. And lets not forget I have a great tailor near my house. Not everything can fit perfectly off the rack, so do yourself a favour and find a great tailor! Stay tuned for next week to see what I have prepared for you. Ciao!
Ovu sedmicu posvecenu jesenjem trendu suknji i haljina iz sredine proslog veka, zavrsavamo sa jednom pencil suknjom. Pencil suknje su takodje postale popularne sredinom 40tih godina. Ovo je definitivno moj omiljeni model. Nije bas najbolji za moj oblik tela, ali definitivno moj omiljeni. U mom ormaru se krije gomila razlicitih boja, dezena i materijala. Svaka zena treba da ima u svom ormaru bar dve pencil suknje; jednu klasicnu crnu i jednu u jarkoj boji. Crvena je dobar izbor jer je prihvatljiva i za kancelariju ali je dovoljno sexy i za izlazak. Bez obzira na vas oblik tela, postoje razliciti modeli, zato ne odustajte nego se bacite i potragu vase savrsene pencil suknje. Ja nosim iskljucivo pencil suknje visokog struka, i uz tanak kais, dajem iluziju oblina. Takodje imam snajderku blizu mene koju koristim da nekada malo popravi po neki odevni komad koji mi mozda ne stoji savrseno odmah iz prodavnice.  Ovo je poslednji outfit za ovu sedmicu, ali ne zaboravite da me pratite open od nedelje i da vidite sta sam pripremila za vas. 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

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

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

Black & White Striped Forever 21 Dress & Aldo Shoes

Shoes Aldo, bag Target, dress Forever 21, jacket Le Chateau, sunglasses ZeroUV, spike bracelets Aldo, silver bracelet Tiffany&Co, watch DKNY Hello lovelies. I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. Hopefully, those of you who are moms got to be pampered and spoiled by your kids and partners. I hope you also showed your love to your moms and thanked them for everything they have done for you. We should be doing it every day, but it’s really nice to have a day dedicated to these amazing women. I know how much my mother means to me and she certainly deserves every day to be dedicated just to her. I’m sure all of you feel the same way about your mothers too. Even the sun came out to shine and make Mother’s day even more special. I made sure to go bare legged to welcome the warmth and the sun. Today’s outfit is a cute spring look, easy to pull off. Black and white stripes always make a statement and a little pop of colour just makes the outfit complete. I spent the day out mostly
