The last very quick photo-shooting I did with Studio Kofol and Antonio Per. I'm seriously super excited to work with them again tomorrow and go to the sea side! I've been wearing this gorgeous edgy Zarja Predin dress which I was also wearing on the last day of Fashion Week Slovenia.
So, December - a month of lights, snow and feasts; time to make amends and tie loose ends; finish of what you started and hope your wishes come true - is really here! I'm a summer person. Definitely. But there's something magical in December and that's probably why I like this month even though I'm freaking cold all the time. When I take my dog out for a walk I swear I'm shaking more than him...and he is small and needy!
One of the main reasons why I like December is because everything is so freaking romantic and beautiful! Lights are everywhere, stands with mulled wine are literately everywhere, everyone seems so happy - they're drinking mulled wine and laughing happily and seeing that always fills me with special emotions. It makes me kind of happy without a reason. You're just looking at the people having good time and few minutes later you're already thinking "Man, life is actually pretty awesome!". There's no secret I like shopping. I mean, hellooo...I'm a girl, what do you expect from me? Haha.
I think I've never shared my private party pictures here on my blog. Am I right? But when it comes to my favourite club in Ljubljana - K4, I just can't resist. Their pictures are always sooo....YES! Ok, it's true that I always look at the pictures from the clubs on the next day and think that I look like I've been partying for two days and forgot that shower and make up exists, but still. It's just funny that you go out looking pretty fresh and normal and then at the end of the night you simply look...well, like I told you. The ironic part here is that I don't really remember when was the last time we actually finished with the party at 6am and went home instead continue to party. Sleep is for the weak, right? And we're young, wild and free!
This Friday night I started drinking with the girls and two of my best friends and then around midnight caught up in the city with my girl Urška and our friend Natan. Still not sure what the hell were we doing for two hours, but we finally made it to the K4 around 2am. I feel sorry that I missed DirtySpeakerz again (I also missed them on the Drum and Bass Conference) but there will be more chances. I'm glad we had so much fun and danced the night off! Oh, and before I forget something really important - Urška were rocking a Topshop flower print dress while I was rocking Antlers Lodge Clothing safari tank top again. Meow!
I know. I'm in black-black almost from head to toe. A lot of people see black colour as a dark, elegant, classic, sad and maybe arrogant colour - but not me. Sure, it can be classic and elegant. I mean that's why we girls have at least one LBD dress in the closet after all, right? But from my point of view black is such a happy colour! It's just not sad, I'm sorry. Bright colours depress me...they're so empty while black is a poetic colour. I mean, how do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not. I could never wear black if I feel sad or depressed. I wear black because it makes me feel right. It makes me feel powerful. And I’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour. How do you see black colour guys? Do you like black?
I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned it but a lot of my friends have bands. Metal bends, of course. Since the winter is definitely here and it's freezing outside we like to hang out lately at their band's place. Not only because it's warm inside, but also because we can listen to their music, play guitar, talk shit and whatever happens there, stays there. Sometimes I spend time there just watching their exercises, sometimes we have a little party or after party there, start drinking there and then go and hit the club or just spend a Sunday afternoon chilling, smoking and talking. Not long ago we've been discussing people who have classy style and like classy shit like fancy dinners, listening particular kind of music, etc. Don't get me wrong...there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Everyone has their own style. Well, least it should have. And it's important that your outfit style matches the lifestyle you're living, you personal philosophy, music you listen to, etc. You agree with me?
Yes it is! It's so fucking yesterday!
I've been shooting this outfit a while ago and in all my life madness I forgot to publish it. Actually I totally forgot that this even exists. My bad. I have a day off today (gosh it feels good, don't really remember when was the last time I could actually do whatever I want) and I was drinking my morning coffee and going through some old albums when I found this. How I could forget about this? Shame on me!
There's something special about going through an old photographs, isn't it? It's like a little ride through memories. It made me think about that summer. It made me want to go back to August. Back to those crazy nights we had, back to living one week with my peeps at my place, back to chilling in the park in the middle of the day and drinking there, back to long board riding nights, back to Asking Alexandria and Parkway Drive concerts, back to Trnfest nights, back to the seaside, etc. Every time I think about memories I realize over and over again how much I love my friends and how much they mean to me and how grateful I am to have them in my life. All those memorable nights would't mean anything without them.
Blah. I'm stuck in bed with fever and shit and I'm totally watching American History X, again! Long time, no see. Last few days were completely crazy, but in a good way! So many things have happened that I have a feeling that I'm talking about a month and not a week.
I'm so stoked that I had a chance to meet Sebastian Paul Dora, retail coordinator for Pennyblack and a friend of one of the best bloggers Chiara Ferragani and Miroslava Duma. I can't even describe how easy was talking to him and how freaking awesome was hearing a few "inside" stories. I totally felt a little bit special in that moment. Next day I had a chance to style for lovely Demetra Malalan. I got sick after that, because I wasn't dressed enough and it was raining almost for the whole day and when it stopped we had only a few minutes of sunshine and then the very next minute hail and bora wind started and it was freezing the whole time! We've been running...well no, driving from Ljubljana to the coast and Trieste and back to studio in Ljubljana to shoot the last few outfits. I don't know how Demetra made it. I was in a jacket and warm Topshop fur and I was still shaking from the cold while she was dressed in the middle of the night like she's in the middle of the summer! Well, actually I know...because she was doing it with passion!
Here I am. Drinking coffee in hope to make me a little bit warmer and thinking.
Why must I think? I don't want to think. I want to force my mind to become a blank and lie back, and accept quietly, tolerantly, whatever comes. But I guess that wouldn't be me.
I've been thinking about changes. Well, actually more about how nothing stays the same. Almost every day brings something new into our lives. New people, new opportunities, new ups and downs, new feelings, new perspectives etc. Seems like nothing ever is for certain. And that's a little bit terrifying, isn't it? Sometimes I have a feeling that I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know what I’m seeing, nor what I’m hearing or thinking or feeling. Maybe I just don't want to know. I know it's still November (wait...should I say Movember?), but December spirit is officially in town and it made me think what a crazy ride was this 2013 year. When did a year pass by so fast? And what the fuck happened to my New Year's resolutions? Oh, wait.
Few days ago I treated myself with a little shopping! I got quite a few things but I'm extra happy that I finally bought a new pair of Vans shoes and this Topshop T-shirt! It's so cute but so angry at the same time, isn't it? I mean...T-shirt, not me.
Right now I'm pretty obsessed with Topshop Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection. Margot's World trend was cute and I could definitely find a few pieces for myself but my heart was completely stolen by the Dark Craft trend inspired by the 90's teen cult hit The Craft. Tartan, mini kilts, camouflage and bomber jackets with gothic touches of lace and patent leather. Speaking about the witchcraft- I started to learn Theban alphabet! No, I'm not joking...and no, you can't yell at me "burn the witch!". It's just my newest obsession inspired by my friend Lara to start learning something dark, mysterious, interesting and fun after all! You guys better be careful no...I can put a spell on you! Relax, I'm just joking. A little bit :)

"Age simply doesn't enter into it! The older the friend, the more he is valued, particularly when he shows so visibly the characteristics that we all look for in friends. You have only to look at a genuine teddy's face to see at once the loyalty, common sense, and above all, dependability behind it." -Peter Bull
This time there's nothing that special about my outfit. It's more about my accessory which is a teddy bear. But it's not just an ordinary teddy bear. Ok, I admit. He's not Ted and he can't talk with me, curse, drink beer, sing "fuck you thunder" when there is thunder outside and we're lying scared as hell in bed but he's still special! Special to me. I got him when I was a little girl. I still remember those careless days when I was carrying him around with every step I made and slept tight next to him smuggled warm in a blanket. He was simply there, without any judgement or mean words to say when I needed a friendly hug or shoulder to cry on as a teenage silly girl. But then something kind of sad happened. A girl who always thought that is going to stay forever in a Neverland and never grow up...well, she grew up a little bit without even noticing. And pushed her teddy bear deep into closet. And replaced him with an emo doll with blue hair and blue skin! Cruel destiny has happened there, I'm telling you.
After a few years of being deep in the closet I finally took him out for Halloween, because I wanted to be a creepy doll like Annie from the LOL game or like a scary version of Alice in Wonderland or something like that. And I needed a teddy bear! Halloween is over but my teddy bear is still here. And everytime I look at him I still feel a little bit like a little girl. Everything just comes back in flashes, you know? It's like a kaleidoscope of memories. Sweet memories. And I don't want to push such a careless, naive, happy, silly memories back in the closet so I decided to put him right back where he belongs. On my bed. And from time to time in my bag.
I really love minimalism, which is also why I don't use a lot of accessory generally. But yesterday I may have discovered one of the best accessories so far: teddy bear! He was just there...peaking out of my bag. Or out of my pocket in my jacket. But it's not just about teddy bear being a cute but silly accessory at the same time. It's about the feeling you have when you have a teddy bear as an accessory. You have only to look at a genuine teddy's face to see at once the loyalty, common sense, and above all, dependability behind it.

Ladies, to you still have your teddy bear? And if not...what the hell happened to him?
"I’m good at loving books. I’m good at loving soft bed sheets. I’m good at loving coffees and teas. I am good at loving things that can’t love me back, that don’t have the power to leave. And maybe, that’s why I love them."
Just a little sneak peek into this gorgeous Zarja Predin dress I wore for the last day of Fashion Week Aquafresh. I just wore it a little bit different than on this photoshooting we had in Koper about two weeks ago, with always amazing Studio Kofol and Maja Vu who took care of make up again. More tomorrow on the blog.
First let me say I'm sorry I'm so late with my Fashion Week posts, but after we came to the end of the Fashion Week Aquafresh I unfortunately got sick. But now I'm fine again. Tired a little but happy and fine.
The second day of Fashion Week Aquafresh we could see Garevski, Nina Susnjara, Akultura, Miro Misljen, Tanja Zorn, Squat // Young@Squat and Aleksandrabrlan. I have to say I feel it was much better than the first day. I was blown away quite a few times. I was thinking for a while who I should choose as my favourite from that night and I really can't decide just for one! I liked Akultura by Alenka Globočnik so much! Her basic idea of the collection was "less is more". And her collection includes almost all of my favourite materials what means: leather, cotton, zippers and wait for it...nets! Yes. I was in an Oh-I-Got-a-Vision-How-I-Would-Wear-That land for a few minutes. I also liked a lot what I saw on Squat // Young@Squat runway. Their collection "Accidentally on purpose" mix sports with classic, street style fashion with haute couture and future with tradition. What I especially liked on their collection is that there were a few unisex pieces.
For the second day of the Fashion Week Aquafresh I've been wearing Sisley shirt, Topshop leggings, Topshop faux fur and Dr. Martens boots. Gorgeous Maja Vu took care of my make up and did an amazing job on my face again! I could rock this make up every day! Well...I wish I could.

It's my day, guys! It's my biiiirthday!
I just wanted to quickly thank everyone for my birthday wishes! You guys are simply the best! Thanks so much!
Oh, yes...it's really happening! While the rest of the fashion weeks around the world came to an end, we started with our hardly expected Slovenian Fashion Week Aquafresh! I don't know if fashion lovers, fashion addicts or however you call us feel the same way but for me those few days of the fashion week feel like paradise! There're no words that can describe how I feel during the shows. I think I said this already back in April but I'll say it one more time: I feel like a child who has got a bag full of her favourite candies or favourite toy she wanted for a loooong time! It's just a little bit better (sorry children). Ha, wait! Two days ago fashion week opened its door with a Nitro conference and all of the invited famous Slovenians who made their dreams come true around the world got the same question to answer - what is happiness? Right now the happiness is being a part of fashion week for me!
First day we've been able to see M*Faganel, Maja Štamol, Urša Drofenik, Sofia Nogard, Irena Funduk Fashion and Ivan Rocco. If I'm completely honest with you guys I've expected a little bit more from presented designers! Don't get me wrong here - they all did a great job of course and put a lot of effort into their collections but still there was just a few pieces that caught my eye. And I wish there was more of them. My favourite from that night was without doubt Ivan Rocco! I loved the colours, the prints, materials and I loved that he made a dress which looks like a skirt! Remember few posts ago when I was wearing one of my shirts as a skirt? I was thinking how cool would it be if someone would make a skirt or dress that looks exactly like a shirt. And he did! Ivan, you read my mind! Thank you, keep doing that. I also had a chance to talk with him for a while and he really looks such a nice guy. But mostly...really humble. And I appreciate that in people so much because these days it so rare.
My eyes also liked what they saw on Sofia Nogard runway! There was a lot of translucent materials which I like a lot of course. What a shock, ha? Even though we can see a body through the clothes it's not in a trashy or flashy way. It's in very discreet, gentle and playful way, I promise. I also liked her colour palette - there was a lot of black (black is one of my absolutely favourite colours), but at the same time she served us also a dose of pastel colours. By pastel colours I mean colour powder, gentle blue and light gray which was here and there intersected by strong tones like fluorescent orange. Materials were also pleasing! Especially leather! I really got a little "I like what I see" smile when I saw a leather top, black pants with leather pockets and fluorescent orange dress with black laces over.
While we are speaking about leather I guess it's not a surprise I wore a leather Topshop dress for the first day of fashion week which I combined with also a Topshop jacket (by the way I think I'm in love with that jacket) and finished my look with ripped tights on the side and black lipstick. A big thanks to Maja Vu, who's also working with a Slovenian celebrities and takes care of their make up, for making me beautiful!
My time has come! Fashion week Aquafresh is starting in an hour with the Nitro conference!
Fashion shows are starting at the same time as always - at 9 pm, so tonight we'll be able to see M*Faganel, Maja Štamol, Urša Drofenik, Sofia Nogard, Irena Funduk Fashion and one of my favourites Ivan Rocco.
I'm so excited to be lucky enough to be part of Fashion Week again! The moment I got my accreditation made me the happiest person on Earth for a few days! Thanks so much to Avi Agency! Everthing is perfect except I'm starting to get sick! I've been working really hard last few weeks and slept just for a few hours per night so I think my decreased resistance and a whole day spent outside on the cold (we had a photoshooting yesterday) didn't help me. But I'm trying to feel better, so I'm eating vitamins, drinking smoothies, drinking a lot of water and eating healthy.

Even though I don't feel that well today just thinking of the fashion week and me having the best team again definitely made me feel a little bit better. And grateful! This year I'm collaborating with one of my favourite make up artists and also a really great and funny woman - Maja Vučina! You already met my fashion week photographer at the last fashion week in April - remember the nice guy Blaž Kupljenik?
While I'm speaking about my team I'd really like to thank Topshop Slovenia for my goodies! I have told you guys a hundred times by now that Topshop is one of my favourite brands so I probably don't have to mention how happy, excited and grateful I am to have their awesome clothes. I'm also collaborating with Slovenian fashion designers whose designs I'm going to wear for the fashion week, but more about that soon! Stay tuned!

Good morning, beautiful people!
It's Tuesday morning and I'm ready to rock it! How about you, guys? Are you ready to make the new day your bitch? It's still freezing outside but it looks like we may have a little bit of sunshine.
I'm drinking my second cup of coffee and enjoying the beauty of an early morning. I'm not a morning person, I really love to stay in bed as long as I can. Especially if it's cold outside and you can stay snuggled in warm bed. Well, that doesn't happen often lately so I'm kind of getting to like waking up early with a sound of a good song in the back. And a cup of coffee in my hands as soon as possible, of course. I love how's everything quiet early in the morning. And you can basically watch how the city is waking up and how streets are slowly starting to get filled by rushing people. For me it is time to finish my second cup of delicious coffee, do some yoga, take a shower and go out there to this cold world and start my day which I hope is not going to be that cold. Tonight I'm having an interesting event to attend! Lovers of meditation, spirituality and esoteric stay tuned!
For this look I was inspired by Rihanna! I saw her few days ago wearing her shirt something like this and I just couldn't resist trying it! It looks so badass! What do you think?
I feel so bad! I totally put my blog off those last few days. Ok, maybe weeks. Man, that sounds awful! I've been trying so hard to make everything work but it was impossible! As you all know by now I started to work for my favourite clothing brand ever - Topshop! And while I'm speaking about Topshop, let me just say that working for them is like a dream job! Actually I don't even feel like I have to work - I just do something that I really like and something that I'm so passionate about! So I'm working hard, studying (well, at least I'm trying to) and working for my blog. It's just impossible to work on all those things at the same time. But all those things mean everything to me right now so I don't want to put off any one of them, so I got this great solution! I'm getting an assistant!
Lovely girl Manca (you're going to meet her soon) is going to be my assistant from now on and help me a little bit with the things. Fashion week is also just around the corner so I'm really grateful for her help, I'm so going to need her! I'm also preparing something new for you guys (I promise you're going to love it) but you have to wait a little more. I also started to work on a new project with a magazine we all know very well but more about that later. I'm really sorry I haven't posted much lately and I promise I'll post much more soon. Just be patient with me, please. How have you been, guys?
Erin Wasson. She's one hot lady, isn't she?
For all those lovely people who have never heard about this special lady - she's an American model, actress, occasional stylist and designer. Yup, all that.
I'm totally obsessed (that sounds kind of creepy) with her lately! And just a little bit more with her home! I would die to have a home like her...it's just soooo me! What I love about her home is that it is still modern but at the same time kind of grunge. And her home décor - omg, are you serious?! How can you even put stuff together like that? I just love it! Simply love it! I found those pictures at The Coveteur and I just had to share them with you guys! Maybe you got some good ideas for you home or room décor, like I did. Take a peek.
I've been doing quite well, today! I've been up for more than 24 hours and I still don't feel that sleepy or tired, which is kind of weird. I should definitely feel at least sleepy a little bit if nothing else, right? After the morning hanging with my friend Ana I almost fell asleep while I was waiting for my lunch, but luckily lunch arrived a few seconds before. And I got a few more coffees later so it was all good in the end and I was pretty much normal when I went shooting this outfit post. Sometimes I have to admit I don't really understand myself. During the day I usually feel a little bit tired and I can't wait to go to bed, but then when the night comes story completely changes! During the night I always feel like I'm on speed or something and I get so many ideas of what I could do. From downloading the movies and songs and listening to them all while writing a diary or just watching an entire season of something or maybe decorating my room. Last night I was so bored when I couldn't sleep that I even started to clean my freaking room for 10 minutes at 5 am!
I must have flowers...always and always! I'm not going to mention how's the most romantic thing ever if guy brings you flowers or roses! Oh wait...I just did mention. It's even better knowing that he "stole" them from someone's garden for you! If I could I would have blue roses everywhere! They're my favourite! They are kind of "dark", wild and mysterious but at the same time so beautiful and gentle. I remember when I was a little girl and my father often used to bring my mom blue roses and I was so impressed by them that they are still my favourite. But I never really buy them myself. I do buy flowers (I love buying flowers - makes my day every time!) for my room decoration but I would feel super weird If I bought a blue rose to myself. Florist would probably think "poor girl!", wouldn't he? I've started my obsession with the flowers when I read somewhere that flowers are the Earth laughing. I don't know. Do you believe in that?
But I do know that it's time for me to take a hot bath, relax a little bit, watch a movie maybe and go to bed finally! Tomorrow is my first day of working for a Topshop so I have to get up early again. And I'm really not a morning person. I love early mornings, I just don't like to wake up early.
"I only sleep with people I love, which is why I have insomnia."
Another sleepless night. Right now it's 6:01 am and still didn't manage to fall asleep. Right now I'm thinking is it even worth to go to sleep just for a few hours (I have to start my day at 9 am), because If I sleep only for an hour or two I'm just going to be more tired and definitely way more sleepy! But then again...I'm slowly starting to feel sleepy. Well, maybe not really sleepy but I definitely don't feel like I could be productive right now - or later in this state of insomnia.
No matter what I spend quite awesome sleepless night...with myself! I had a late night talking with the guy I like for a few hours, got some pretty awesome ideas for my true love - blog (yes, I like to have a brainstorming's with myself haha), found an inspiration for this week outfits, listen hundred times "Do you remember" song from More Than Life and I even read a little bit! You wouldn't believe me but when I started writing this it was 6 am and now it's already 8 am (I always start writing and in the middle of it start doing something else and after some time come back - bad habit!) which means that I have two hours before I see my very good friend for years Ana and go grab a coffee or something with her. After meeting her I'm going to my friend Jan's place for another coffee. Right now I would need more then just two coffees to survive the whole day. Later I'm shooting a new outfit post and I really hope it won't be written on my face that I didn't slept tonight! How was your night, guys? Did you sleep well?
Anyway I just wanted to wish you guys an amazing start of the week! Life is a journey, with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy. So enjoy your journey! Oh, and don't forget to smile!
Is anyone else hyper as much as I am? Something weird is going on! Last night I though the problem is in chocolate. I haven't been eating a lot of chocolate for a while, but yesterday I just couldn't stop! So I though that I could have eaten too much chocolate and I'm super happy and hyper because of that. I was wrong! I'm starting to assume what could be, but I'm not going to talk about that. Oh, hell no! But this hyper thing has also a good side - me wanting to do something new or weird. Oh wait...I'm so guilty! I totally did something. I made DIY black lipstick! It was actually so damn easy. All you need is: black pencil (oopsy, I used eye pencil), black shadow, nude lipgloss and voila! Black magic is done!
"You’re in my veins, you fuck." - Pete Doherty says that this was the best text message he got from Kate Moss. How cute is that, guys? I just love this kind of romance. It's kind of rough, but at the same time sweetest thing ever! Don't get me wrong now. I'm not saying I want someone to text me everytime like "I like you, you fucking bitch". But a little rough but cute text message from time to time can't hurt anyone, right? Actually it's kind of sexy! Meeow!
Last night I felt so bad I thought I'm dying! No joke! My head started to hurt out of the blue like never before! And I felt so nauseous that at one point I almost started begging I don't even know who to stop making me feel that way! I barely managed to feel asleep in the morning and I still feel like shit! I wish I could stay the whole day in bed today and watch movies, eat ice-cream and listen to the music, but unfortunately I can't. There're things that just have to be done, no matter what! But it's fine...as long as there is a take away tea!
I just wanted to say "Good Morning" and wish you guys an awesome day! Last night I couldn't sleep again (damn you coffee - why do I love you soooooo much?!?) so I've benn watching The Wizard of Oz at 4am. No kidding! One of my best friends Simon was crashing at my place last night and he had an exam this morning so he woke me up pretty early. After we had coffee and some silly talk I decided to write down my favourite things that I like to do before breakfast. Take a peek and let me know what's your favourite thing to do in the morning before breakfast.
What's up, guys? With me not so much. Right now it's raining so much that it's not even romantic anymore. Well, it is if you can spend your day with someone you like (if you like someone), eat candies and pizza and cuddle a little bit, but in my case - naah. How I see the situation right now is that there is just too much damn rain outside, that I was completely wet and that I'm trying to get warm in my blanket while I'm writing this.
But heey! I got some sleep, finally! Last few days...actually it was just a weekend, I haven't slept much. Or should I say almost nothing? Don't get me wrong, I'm not sorry at all - I really had quite beautiful weekend, but the problem is that I fell asleep yesterday almost every single time I sat somewhere cosy for a few minutes. Can you imagine? I think it was really hard having a conversation with me yesterday. I was trying so hard to listen and say something smart but for the whole day my mind was somewhere else and my eyes were closing and in the next minute I was already asleep. So I was basically sleeping while I was talking on the phone, while I was watching a movie and when I got home and I wanted to sit down just for a few minutes before I'd go out again. And the last time I fell asleep (while I was watching a movie) I've slept almost for the whole night and then suddenly woke up around 4-5 am. Weirdo. People that don't know me probably thought I must be drunk haha.
Ok, let me share with you my silly thoughts about a silly thing that I usually don't really like to talk about. Love. When it comes to love there's no better words to explain how I feel about it than with Bukowski words: "Find what you love and let it kill you". No, thanks...I'll skip. I usually try to stay away from emotions. Even if I really, really like someone I like to stay near but yet so far. You know what I mean? I can't really stand watching people I like going out of my life. Can you? But no matter how hard you try you never know when you're going to meet someone. Isn't it interesting how we meet someone when we least expect? When you totally don't see that coming? Or is it just me? In that moment stealing his heart and he stealing your heart becomes a perfect crime. Perfect complicated crime. But no matter how perfect it may be I'm always looking for a stupid excuses until that person doesn't let me know what he thinks or feels. I am a girl, I never do the first step! Yes, I know it's 21st century but fuck that. Am old fashioned when it comes to love haha. I like seeing a guy doing something nice for me, I love letters - I really think it's a shame we never write letters, I love late night talking while the rest of the word is sleeping, I love climbing on a roof and watching stars with that person, drinking or doing whatever crosses my mind. Haha, actually I like all those cute things about love that you can find on Tumblr. And no matter how I try sometimes to stay away from those things, every once in a while something or someone comes whom you just can't overlook. Oh, man...talking about love made me hungry. I need food! No, I deserve an ice-cream for all that talk!
I've already told you guys that I spent my Friday night out at one of my favourite places in town - Metelkova. I'm not really "club going" kind of girl. Well, no. I am actually but if something good is going on there (for example: dubstep) and it's a bit more underground atmosphere. It's not really a shock that I like more grunge places, right?
Last Friday night we were on Metelkova, of course. One of the main reasons why I like that place so much is definitely because you can simply hang with everyone. You come with your company but then during the night you always see so much friends there so in the end we always end up somehow all together. And even if you don't know many people from there you're going to meet them. That's for sure. And you can simply bring you drink, sit on the floor wherever you like, put your music on and have a good time. Later if you're in the mood you can also go somewhere inside and dance the night off in you want.
This time I had come with my peeps like always and then I found my friend Jernej (the guy in the red T-shirt) few meters away from us celebrating his birthday. The best part is that everyone knows everyone there, so we were hanging together, taking shots and act silly. Sadly I have just a few pictures from the beginning of the night because after midnight sneaky tequila came after me so one of my good friends Jacob took my photo camera with him home because that seemed like the safest thing to do. I'm really so happy and grateful to have such nice friends who take care of me. Anyway take a sneak peek into our night out and let me know how was your last Friday night?
What's special about this outfit is that I wear my shirt as a skirt! Gosh, how I love playing with clothes. I also wanted to give my biker boots an edgy touch so I decided to draw an "X" sign on them. A little problem came when I figured it out that I have absolutely nothing to draw with. Luckily I remember I have a white YSL lipstick which I don't use so finally her time to be noticed came. Sadly not on the lips but on the shoes. But damn...better that than nothing!
Yesterday was my first drinking Friday night after more than 3 weeks without alcohol. I told you guys how I haven't been drinking in Bosnia where I was invited to the Sarajevo Film Festival (thanks L'Oreal Paris BiH so much - I'm still grateful!) and neither the week or even more before I went there. So yesterday I was pretty excited to go to my favourite place - Metelkova, see my peeps and have some shots with them! I probably don't really need to explain how little was enough to being drunk after some time of non drinking? Well, I blame it a little bit of Tequila - that bitch is sneaky! But, I love sneaky sometimes. Fact that I feel like shit today...not that much. Hangover glory.
I totally need another coffee right now. I adore coffee! Coffee is oh...so hot and warms the mug, which is nice to hold when my hands are cold, it makes me excited, it smells so damn good, it makes my morning more bearable and much more. I don't even count any more how many I drink during the day. I wish I could rest today and do nothing at all, but I have to work and shoot a new outfit post and get ready for the basketball game tonight. Tonight I'm going to root for Slovenia at Kongresni trg and take a few shots so I can share that moment also with you guys. Stay tuned, something amazing is coming up!
Troubles, troubles. I had troubles with shooting this outfit post so much I almost lost my mind. Or nerves? Fact that I had to stand in the hot sun for a long time in one pose, because my photo camera didn't want to shoot didn't made me any happier. Seems like something is wrong with the camera so we barely managed to catch a few good shots while the rest of them is completely smudged. And mostly and the most importantly useless. Generally I'm not really a patient person sadly, especially if I want to do something properly and work for that and then something bad happens or goes wrong and destroys everything. Isn't it interesting how much power does one object like camera have on us? Or well...on me.
But you know what they say: If you want something you'll find a way if not you'll find an excuse. We could easily give up and say that camera is not working like it should at all, but we tried and tried. And after all we got a few shoots that I can use and that's all that matters, right? They not my best shoots, but they at least are.
To get what you want you have to have patience after all and work hard to sharpen your talent, to get better at whatever it's that you do. Many times you get burned - but hey, how many times more it will happen before you achieve what you want? Like I said I'm generally pretty impatient and at the time also lazy person. And just if that is not enough I'm also a big dreamer! Can you imagine that killing combination? That's why most of the time I just wish for the moon and impatiently wait for a miracle to happen. It's fine to shoot for the moon because even if you miss you'll land among the stars, but you still have to work for that. I'm such a stubborn person so it can take some time before I finally realize something. Something like this, maybe. The thing is you know all those things before and you also know damn good that you have to work hard for your goals, but you don't really realize and take that seriously until you really try and see the big difference, I think. What do you think about that?
And while we are speaking about reaching goals and hard working I would like to congrats our guys for amazing basketball game last night! We were watching it last night at the MGL club (town theatre bar for their members) and I have to say it was hell of a game! It was such a tense game, especially because we were playing against Spain who's the favourite of the European Basketball Championship as I heard. And because at first it seemed like we're going to loose but in the end we won! Big time won! I'm just so happy and proud right now! What do you guys think about the game? Have you watch it?
Guys from Bosnia have just sent me my interview for their very known Goražde Online web site. It's something like 24ur here in our country. Thanks guys so much for sending me this and thanks so much to Goražde Online for taking their time and doing an interview with me. It really means a lot to me! It was such a pleasure for me. I've read this so many times since I've got it that I don't even count any more I still can't believe it's talking about me haha. Thanks for all the kind words about me!
In this last year I have already given quite a few interviews and press statements so that's not really something new for me. I don't mean that in a cocky way, I swear. It's just still so fascinating that every time I get a copy of my interview it's like the first time. There're no words that can describe what I feel inside at that moment. Such happiness, pleasant and overwhelming feeling. Do you think it's always like that or you just get used of that feeling after some time? Because I really wish this feeling can stay. I wish I could have such moments for life!
I was recently going through my nanna's (grandma) closet when I noticed a lovely skirt in blue. I liked it so much that I asked my grandma if I can borrow her skirt for my night out. It turns out she liked my outfit so much that she asked me to keep the shirt, so I can remember her everytime I see or wear it. My grandma is the coolest, so no...that not all, dears. She also gave me this shirt you see me wearing in this post., because she doesn't like it anymore. We have an expression that we use when we see someone wearing something really odd or old-fashioned. It goes something like: "Are you wearing your grandma's clothes?".
Huuuh, I'm saved! You can't say that to me, now. My grandma is a damn gangsta! Thanks, grandma!
Now, while I'm writing this it is already 3:25 am.Wait, what...that must be wrong?! Damn, no it's not. My phone said the same. Well, actually it makes sense. I came back home around 2:20 am. I was hanging with my friends and the situation turned out that I had to go home alone. And I had the scariest turn back, ever! Ok, half of it. I probably don't need to mention that I got completely lost (I told you guys my orientation is very bad sometimes and I get lost...very, very often). I had to go a little bit through the park somewhere at Dolgi Most (a part of Ljubljana, away from the centre of course), which by the way has only two working street lights, so it was dark as hell. Luckily I have on my phone "flash light" application, but I still thought at one point something bad is about to happen to me. Or with another words, directly: I was scared as fuck! I've been so scared and paranoid that I started thinking about all the things I don't do but I should and how I am going to do them if I survive. Not too long after that I overwhelmed by that silly idea and started running like someone is chasing me and I'm going to die (maybe I was!!). Thanks God the park was not big so the first part of the nightmare was ended quite soon. The next scary part was when I had to walk at the main road. Yes, I was the only person on the street who's stupid enough to walk alone there. I have a really big imagination so when I'm put in a situation like that I start imaging impossible things that can happen and see the sceneries from every possible horror movie I've seen. But I have to admit I'm so surprised that our town seems so safe. Oh, Ljubljana...I simply love you! But I don't love the fact that our guys don't take you home so you have to walk alone late at night. We need gentlemen!
After almost 3 weeks the time came to say goodbye to beautiful Sarajevo and Goražde! Honestly, I didn't expect me to be so freaking sad that I had to leave or even worse cry just a little. But I did. The thing is: I met really amazing people there, learned a lot about myself and also found myself again, learned to enjoy the life, done things I never done before here in my home town, etc. And now I'm back to reality. But I would be a little liar if I'd say I'm not happy that I came back. It's normal to miss the place or people you had a nice time with. And for me and my personality that's even more natural. Usually when I go back after two weeks or a month from London I cry every single time like a baby on the bus to the airport. So that's nothing new. But one thing here is for sure: I'm going back in few months! So guys, you better miss me.
I came back on Monday around 3 am and slept for a few hours before I had a coffee with my friends in the morning. In the afternoon I needed some rest and time for myself, especially because serious work is starting from today. So I took away some sushi with cheese and avocado (I eat mostly chicken, fish and seashell), watched "Now you see me" - btw that's definitely one of the best mind fuck movies I've ever seen. And then later tried a few facial and hair masks. I'm still testing them but yesterday I tried first "Montagne Jeunesse" facial mask and then later "Montagne Jeunesse glacial clay" facial mask. This one I highly recommend. It's definitely my favourite! It gives your skin the ride of it's life while glacial clay cleanse your pores to the core. Anti-oxidant rich Red Grape and Artic Cloudberry juices from the glacial heights of Scandinavia work their magic to help maintain skin's natural barrier. I also tried a new hair mask which is also my "a must use" from now on. It's called "Guhl mask with almond oil". After the mask I put something I've bought in Bosnia now. It's from "Semi Di Lino diamante alfapart". I tried illuminating shine lotion and I can already tell it's so damn good. My hair just feels so soft and healthy.
Now it's time to shoot my new outfit look. Take care, guys.
This old empty house you see in the pictures is just one of the many here that were burned during the war in Bosnia. While in my country - Slovenia, the war after the break-up of Yugoslavia lasted only ten days, situation here in Bosnia and Herzegovina was much more serious and difficult. The war here lasted almost four years. Many people were killed - and not only soldiers but also children, babies, old people, pregnant women, etc. People were hiding in the house, praying and hoping they are going to survive and get enough food to eat. They were getting some food from humanitarian aid but a lot of times husbands and grandfathers had to walk miles and miles away to buy basic things like meal. The consequences of war are still visible, after almost 20 years you can still see a lot of such houses and people in the streets who lost arm or leg back in that awful time.
Don't get me wrong, they live a normal and happy life now, but you can still see those kind of memories from that time. To me it's really interesting to see how we keep complaining about the things that are not even terrible, how people try to bring you down, how people peek in your personal life hoping to find some embarrassing information (btw, doing that is exactly the same as if you were interested how many times your neighbour goes to the toilet), while people here explain and tell stories about the war with a smile on their face and with humour. And not only that, they are supporting each other, they are seriously happy if they see you being happy, they try to help no matter how long they know you and mostly they are not making a big deal from their problems. They learned to see things in a positive light. I can't even describe how warm and welcome and loving they make you feel. And you...you have this strange feeling like you can't get them enough love back. Like what you are doing is simply not enough. At least I feel that way. It's not enough just being there and being a friend with that person. I get way too much love and positive energy so I only wish there was something more I could do.
I know I'm a kind of too gentle person and see things maybe too emotionally but that's just the way I am. And since I came here I'm wishing I could help someone who needs help. Whatever that means. Spend some time and play with them, give them clothes, maybe money if you have enough or just buy something to eat. For me it is hard to watch so many dogs outside who are without home and completely skinny and...oh gosh, so hungry. I'm buying a freaking extra pizza slice so I can feed them. I know that's not good for them, but after all...better that than nothing, right? Wish I could give a home to at least one of them but I unfortunately can't. But I can help a little bit. And that's why I decided to start working with the Red Cross!
I've been so busy with life here there I couldn't find time to post anything. But more about that in my next post. Right now I'm having so much fun. Haha, in fact so much fun that one of the nights I went out even police where looking for me all over the town, because they thought something happened to me. It was false alarm, but lifestyle and habits here are so much different than the one I used to. Here it is strange to see a girl walking alone after 11pm. No, I'm not joking. And of the best nights I had here my mobile phone battery ran out so they were calling me to make sure everything is ok with me and I didn't respond for hours so they started searching. I'm glad they take so much care of me, I really did and I appreciate it so much but that was kind of hilarious. Isn't it?
These pictures have been taken after L'Oreal Paris conference in Sarajevo that I've been invited to. I took some time and went around the town in hope to explore it a little bit. And I totally did. And I totally loved it! I just love exploring new places, lifestyles, habits, food. And not only that. I'm already thinking what is going to be my next destination. The only thing I did here that is pretty much the same as at home is that I've bought the new issue of British Vogue. When it comes to Vogue I'm a sucker for British Vogue - definitely the best. I would never guess that Vogue is cheaper in my town than here. Would you? I'm not missing much home except the people I love and home delivery of Indian food! Besides that I'm having a great time here. Meeting so cool people, having fun, eating way too much but mostly good, working - you can expect soon my very first website (thanks to Naš Grad). It was time! In few days I'm also staring to work on my new project with Red Cross and help poor people here. But more about that also soon, so stay tuned guys!
Tonight I had a girls night out for the first time since I came here. Gosh how I missed that! Just being around girls you like and get along, chatting with them about girl things, commenting outfits another girls wear and all that girly things made my night and staying here even more beautiful and perfect. Thanks so much Adna and Amina for a lovely night!
Breathtaking, isn't it?
It's not a secret...well, actually I believe every true fashionista knows that L'Oreal Paris is the greatest and the most important beauty brand in the world! L'Oreal Paris has been present in the movie world for more than 15 years. And not only that. They have also been working with the biggest movie stars in the world and creating special looks for them. Can you imagine that you're that important that L'Oreal Paris creates a special look just for you? I can absolutely imagine them creating something for me, but they probably don't. Yet. It all started long, long...ok, too long ago. In 1907, Eugène Schueller, a young French chemist, developed a hair dye formula called Auréale. He formulated and manufactured his own products, which he then sold to Parisian hairdressers. And Paris is also where they still have the head office. L’Oréal got its start in the hair-color business as I said, but the company soon branched out into other cleansing and beauty products.
Last year they created 419 different make-up looks for more than 120 movie stars and special guests at the Sarajevo Film Festival in 9 days and 108 working hours. Schocking? This year, for the 19th Sarajevo Film Festival they chose Zana Marjanovič (beautiful lady on the pictures), Bosnian actress to represent their new looks, because of her elegant and youthful look. And I must say they made a right decision. She looks so stunning! My favourite look is definitely the last one. So me! But the second one is also..."oh so beautiful". But then again the first one is also so gorgeous, so natural. Damn, I've been looking at the pictures for more than half an hour to decide which one is my favourite and I thought I've picked one, but now I'm not sure, again. Every look is nothing but beautiful in its way. I don't know for you guys, but I'm definitely going to wear these looks. What do you think about them? Which one is your favourite and which one are you going to rock?
Today, no wait...it's already yesterday, was the D-Day!
As I have already said, I was invited to the L'Oreal Paris conference in Sarajevo which was organised as a side event of the Sarajevo Film Festival. There're so many things about the event you guys need to now, but before I start I would like to thank first Lejla Brčaninović for inviting me over and L'Oreal Paris of course! I'm honestly so happy and mostly grateful that I had a chance to be part of that. Thanks so much for having me, the pleasure was all mine!
You're probably wondering what was all the fuss about...am I right? Have you guys ever heard about Zana Marjanović? She's a Bosnian actress best known for her role in "In the Land of Blood and Honey", which was Angelina Jolie's directorial debut. I didn't really know her (I know...shame on me!), but my first thought when I saw her was - "Omg, she's so beautiful". No joke! I lost my track now because of her beauty, but let me return... L'Oreal Paris presented the new trends that have been presented by Zana, as she's a personification for the brand because of her elegant and youthful look and artistic embodiment. Zana, Laurent Sorieul - director of L'Oreal Paris Adria, and Renata have presented us three beauty red carpet looks which you can also wear in every day life. And no, that's not all. Ladies from L'Oreal Paris also showed us how to do all that looks! But more about the looks in my next post!
I was really surprised about the whole event organization. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so professional! They took care of absolutely everything. Everything! From the seats, goody bags, catering, champagne, press etc. And everyone was really nice to me, but I've already told you guys how everyone is super nice and open here, so that's nothing new. So before I put those gorgeous beauty looks up I would first like to share pictures from the event with you. Take a peek lovelies, because you're worth it!
Woooot?! I like this city more and more!
Well...it's impossible not to like it when you have such a cool guys around you like I have these days. Today I spend the whole day in a lovely company. We've spent our day in Goražde, a little town two hours of ride away from Sarajevo. Goražde is a city in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Drina river. It's located between Foča, Sokolac and Višegrad, and is administratively part of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Lifestyle here is yes...so different than mine, but I still like it. They're so open that I can't even believe that people like that even exist. But at the same time they're very calm because of their religion. For example: they think I'm totally wild because of my nature and I'm not even that wild as they think. We went out tonight for a drink and had a business meeting at the same time and everyone was drinking coffee or Red bull expect me of course. I mean, in my town I don't even think you can get coffee after 10 pm so of course I had an apple cyder. Ok, two. One was because I really wanted it and the second one was because I couldn't believe they're not drinking...so I had another one haha. But even though I was the only one "drinking" I had a wonderful day and an awesome night. Thanks guys so much.
Tomorrow I'm leaving again for Sarajevo. Sarajevo Film Festival stared today and I'm having a L'Oreal Paris conference tomorrow with the famous secret guest. Hmm...who could possibly be that? As you can see I also got a new hairstyle. What do you think? I wanted this hairstyle for a while so you can imagine how happy I am to finally have it. It's been a while since I went to bed so full of different but positive emotions, but now I'm going again. Nice feeling, I almost forgot how it feels.
I'm so sorry but I'm honestly so damn tired and I have to wake up in 4 hours and hit the road again so I'll post the rest of the pictures tomorrow. Stay tuned! Good night guys, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite, and if they do, then take your shoe and knock them ‘til they’re black and blue! Or dead.
Here I am, once again...I'm torn into pieces. No, just kidding about the last part, but I am really here.
It's been the longest drive ever! I've been travelling for over 9 hours and since I was travelling with the car I hadn't sleep much. And even when I did fell asleep it's been the worst sleep. So I've been wide awake the whole night and the whole day...wait...I'm still awake.
My first impression is that everyone is so damn nice here. I've been sitting on the side of the road, waiting for the car to pick me and people were keep coming and trying to have a conversation with me. I just love how's everyone open here. I haven't been around the town much today...but I did quickly stopped at famous "Baščaršija" and had the best "čevapi" in my life! I also spotted a few "a must go and buy something" stores, but unfortunately I couldn't find time for that now. No doubt that I will! I'm super thrilled about the Saturday! I was invited to the even more famous Sarajevo Film Festival (last year there was also Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - how my grandfather met them is another hilariously funny story). Thanks so much L'Oreal Paris for this opportunity, I can't wait to be a part of your conference and learn stuff I could only dream about that I will someday - I'll share everything with you, guys! I mean, your my badasses...how wouldn't I?
It's 1:24am right now and I have pretty much packed everything for my trip to Sarajevo.
I managed to catch up with my friends so I could see them before I go and say goodbye to them. Damn, how I wish I could be with them right now at Trnfest festival, drinking and having fun. But heeeey there, at least I had the very last Trnfrks (if you don't know what's that you can check out on my fb page) - I'm a sucker for fast food. If I'm unhappy you just have to buy me a slice of pizza or something like that and I'll be the happiest person on earth again.
So, I have packed everything (I hope so), put the music on my Ipod, seen my friends and now it's time to go! Bwaah, I'm super excited about this trip!
As I said in my previous post - I'm back in town, but not for too long.
I've been at home three days and I'm leaving again tomorrow for Sarajevo to work there. To be honest, I'm not really sure what to expect, but I'm still pretty excited about the trip. What I'm not excited about that much is packing. I'm a typical girl when it comes to packing. Even If I'm leaving somewhere for a week I'll pack like I'm leaving for a month!
For me the last couple of weeks were: fun, emotional, crazy, sleepless, inspiring, etc. I loved how we were basically living for a week at my place with my friends. It was so nice having them 24/7 by my side. Guys were pretty much cooking lunch everyday so I didn't need to cook not even once! Thanks guys, it was delicious every single time. At night guys were playing guitar and we were enjoying and drinking and having fun. As the Trnfest festival is going on we went there every night and came back for after party. We also did some pretty silly things but I'm not going to talk about these - what happened there, stays there haha. I know I'm a "party girl" and I've been partying a lot this last year, but after that week I needed a getaway trip...and there's no better place for that than the seaside! Am I right? It felt so nice having some time for myself, to think about the things, figure it out what I really want, what makes me happy, what makes me sad, read books, get cool and inspiring ideas for my blog and mostly...not drinking, not smoking, not eating fast food and all that shit. So now I'm feeling like a newborn person, no kidding.
In those few days while I'm back at home I managed to catch up with the guys every night. And we were just sitting somewhere and talking and kidding and...watch out...not drinking or anything like that. Last night was so lovely. We were sitting on one of the bridges in town and watching shooting stars. Lately we went to my friends crib, climbed on the roof, laid on it and watched the shooting stars. It was cold as fuck late at night but it was so worth it! What can I say...I'm a really happy girl to have so cool, honest, fun and open minded friends in my life.
I also noticed in this time that life can be so fucking confusing. It puts us through many obstacles and tasks, physical and emotional. Nothing is easy. But after all...if life was always easy, we would be bored. Wouldn't we?
