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   ...

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...

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...

Would You Wear a Bathing Suit as a Top?

Skirt H&M, bathing suit/top unknown, sandals Le Chateau, bag vintage Value Village, hat bought in Athens From north of Greece and beautiful Khalkidhiki peninsula, we headed due south and reached this little town called Athens 😊 . Athens Greece is simply beautiful. No matter where you are in the city, Gods of Acropolis are looking over you. It is such an amazing feeling especially at night when the city is covered by darkness and Acropolis shines in its full light and grandeur. It’s a wonderful feeling to be walking down city streets and being pleasantly surprised by monuments from Ancient Greece as you turn the next corner. I started of my city walk from Monesteriaki neighbourhood and walked around all neighbourhoods surrounding it, from Plaka and Kolonaki to Anafiotika and Gazi. I especially loved Anafiotika. If you love hilly neighbourhoods, then you will love Anafiotika. At night, you can sit on the stairs of cafés and enjoy a cold beer or a cocktail with all the local...
