The Academy Awards 2012

Jessica Chastain (in Alexander McQueen) and Milla Jovovich (in Elie Saab)

Hi people!
I don't know about you, but I get really excited about the Academy Awards every year. I'm always interested in who will wear what, who will win, who will show up, etc. Unfortunately I couldn't watch it live because Croatian National Television didn't broadcast it this year (again!), and that is actually the second year in the row that they didn't broadcast it. It makes me furious, because I couldn't find any other programme that I could watch it on either. Anyways, I'm glad Meryl Streep won, but I'm disappointed that George Clooney didn't take home the most coveted statue in the world... Everybody was expecting it, right?
Now, let's move on to the dresses, because that's what we were looking forward to:) All in all, there were a lot of beautiful dresses, but also some that were too simple for the biggest night of the year, and of course, some that were just wrong. If you've been following me for a longer period of time, then you know I do my little review of the dresses at the Oscars every year. Well, this year will be no exception. This is just my opinion and you can agree with me or not. Enjoy!
What do you think? Who was the biggest hit, and who was the biggest miss?

Pozdrav dragi moji!
Ne znam za vas, ali ja sam svake godine uzbuđena kada dođe vrijeme dodjele Oscara. Uvijek me zanima tko će što nositi, tko će pobijediti, tko će se pojaviti, itd. Nažalost, ove godine opet nisam mogla ceremoniju gledati uživo, jer ju HRT opet nije prenosio, i to je druga godina za redom da nisu prenosili. Bijesna sam zbog toga, jer nisam mogla naći prijenos ni na jednom drugom programu koji vidim. Uglavnom, drago mi je da je Meryl Streep dobila Oscara (u toj kategoriji za najbolju glumicu su mi bile favoritkinje Meryl i Rooney Mara), ali sam razočarana što George Clooney nije ponio najtraženiji kipić kući... Svi su to očekivali, zar ne?
Pređimo sada na haljine, jer to je ono čemu smo se svi veselili:) Sve u svemu, bilo je puno lijepih haljina, ali bilo je i onih koje su bile prejednostavne za najveću noć u godini, i nraravno, onih koje su jednostavno bile pogrešne. Ako me pratite duže vrijeme, onda znate da radim svoj mali pregled haljina sa Oscara svake godine. Ova godina također neće biti iznimka. Ovo je samo moje mišljenje i možete se složiti s njime, ili ne. Uživajte!
Što vi mislite? Tko je bio najveći pogodak, a tko najveći promašaj?

You'll remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley

Hi people!
The new outfit post is finally here... I wore my new PopCouture dress, but since it's still very cold outside, I also wore my new Zara yellow cardigan over it. I think it really compliments the dress well, because the dress also has yellow in it. The rest of the look was pretty simple: black tights, boots and bag. Instead of a tipical jacket, this time I opted for my lovely faux fur leopard print coat, that I absolutely adore. It just brings every outfit to a whole new level.
Tell me what you think :)
xoxo S.

Pozdrav svima!
Novi outfit post je konačno tu... Nosila sam svoju novu PopCouture haljinicu koju ste imali prilike vidjeti u prethodnom postu, no kako je još uvijek vani jako hladno, također sam preko nje nosila novi žuti Zara kardigan preko nje. Mislim da super paše uz haljinu, jer haljina isto ima žutoga u sebi. Ostatak looka je bio prilično jednostavan: crne hulahopke, čizme i torbica. Umjesto tipične jakne, ovaj put sam se odlučila za svoju divnu bundicu od umjetnog krzna sa leopard printom, koju apsolutno obožavam. Stvarno učini svaki outfit posebnijim.
Recite mi svoje mišljenje :)

NY FW Fall 2012- My favorites

Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2012

Hi everyone!
I'm aware New York Fashion Week is over, but lately, I didn't have time to do posts as frequently as I usually do. There are several reasons for that, such as a ton of homework, terrible cold weather, and also I'm in the process of moving right now, and will be for the next two/three weeks. Anyhow, here are some of my favorite collections from NY FW, and also expect a new outfit post tomorrow:)
Which were your favorites?
xoxo S.

Pozdrav dragi moji!
Svjesna sam činjenice da je New York Fashion Week gotov, ali zadnje vrijeme nisam imala vremena raditi postove onoliko često koliko to obično radim. Ima nekoliko razloga za to, a neki od njih su tone zadaće, užasno hladno vrijeme, a također sam u procesu seljenja i bit ću sljedeća dva/tri tjedna, pa si možete zamisliti ludnicu. Uglavnom, evo nekih mojih favorita sa Fashion Weeka u New Yorku, i očekujte sutra novi outfit post:)
Koji su bili vaši fvoriti?

New in: PopCouture

Hi people!
I want to show you what I got from PopCouture (again!) a couple of days ago. This amazing transparent maxi skirt is exactly what I've wanted for a really long time, and now it's finally mine! I already have so many combinations in my head with this skirt... Can't wait to wear it! I also got this adorable dress with geometric print in different colors. It's so fun; I already wore it so expect it in the next outfit post. Thanks so much to PopCouture for these amazing items!
Which one is your favorite?
xoxo S.

Pozdrav dragi moji!
Želim vam pokazati što sam dobila (opet!) od PopCouture-a prije par dana. Ova divna prozirna maksi suknja je upravo ono što si želim već dugo, i sad je napokon moja! Već imam puno kombinacija u glavi sa njom... Jedva čekam da se vrijeme još malo proljepša pa da ju mogu nositi. Također sam dobila ovu preslatku haljinicu sa geometrijskim printom u raznim bojama. Nju sam već nosila, tako da ju očekujte u sljedećem outfit postu. Puuuno hvala PopCouture-u na divnim stvarčicama!
Koji je vaš favorit?

Ani Ani- The interview.

Ana Sekelj and me

Hi everyone!
I had the amazing opportunity to visit the designer Ana Sekelj a couple of days ago in her store called Ani Ani Design Store. I already talked about her and her collections recently, do you remember? Anyhow, I thought it would be really fun to do an interview with her since I like her clothes and I wanted to see this beautiful store in person. She agreed and was really sweet and friendly during our little get-together. I  went with another blogger Nick (well, he's actually an ex-blogger, but I still kinda see him as one :)), who took these photos for my blog.
I also tried on this beautiful Ani Ani black dress, that I paired with her stunning neon yellow blazer. I think the outfit looks fab, don't you?!
I'm leaving you now to enjoy the pics and the interview! :)
xoxo S.

Pozdrav svima!
Prije par dana sam imala prekrasnu priliku posjetiti našu dizajnericu Anu Sekelj u njenom dućanu Ani Ani Design Store. Već sam pričala o njoj i njenim kolekcijama nedavno, sjećate se? Uglavnom, mislila sam da bi bilo baš zabavno napraviti intervju sa Anom, pošto mi se sviđa njena odjeća, a i željela sam uživo vidjeti ovaj divni dućan. Ona se složila sa time, i bila je stvarno draga i spremna na suradnju. Išla sam sa još jednim našim poznatim blogerom Nickom (on je zapravo ex-blogger, ali ja ga i dalje vidim kao jednog od nas:)), koji je slikao većinu slika koje vidite u ovom postu. Također, isprobala sam jednu Ani Ani kombinaciju koja me oduševila, a to je bila divna crna lepršava haljina sa neon žutim blejzerom koji me osvojio na prvi pogled, pošto sam opsjednuta sa neon bojama u zadnje vrijeme. Mislim da odlično izgledaju zajedno, što vi mislite?!
Ostavljam vas sada da uživate u slikama, i intervjuu koji sam ovdje objavila samo na engleskom. Razlog za to je što je ovaj intervju objavljen na CroModi, pa mi nije imalo smisla još jednom pisati hrvatsku verziju i u postu. Za hrvatsku verziju intervjua kliknite OVDJE.

NEW IN: H&M & Miss Selfridge

H&M

Hi everyone!
Here's a quick post to show you the latest additions to my closet. I bought this amazing leopard print faux fur coat at Miss Selfridge which was 50% off the original price. I've wanted a faux fur coat like this for quite some time, and this was the perfect opportunity to finally get it. Also, I've been obsessing overe these perfect platform sandlas by H&M for weeks now, and I decided to get them, although it's like -10 degrees Celsius outside and snowing. These sandals have a chunky heel, which is totally blogger-ish in my opinion, and reminds me of sandals that are usually available on Asos. Love!
Tell me what you think...
xoxo S.

Pozdrav dragi moji!
Ovo je samo jedan brzinski post da vam pokažem dva zadnja dodatka mom ormaru. Kupila sam ovu predivnu faux krzno bundicu sa leopard printom u Miss Selfridgeu koja je bila snižena 50%. Već dugo si želim takvu bundicu, i ovo je bila savršena prilika da si ju konačno priuštim. Btw, u Magmi u Ilici vam je sniženje 50% na sve kapute i jakne, tako da ako trebate nešto od toga, sada je pravo vrijeme za kupiti to. Također, zadnjih par tjedana sam bila opsjednuta sa ovim savršenim H&M sandalama sa platformom, i ipak sam ih odlučila kupiti makar je vani -10 i pada snijeg. Doći će vrijeme za nositi ih:) Ove sandale imaju chunky petu, koja je totalno blogastična (da dobro ste pročitali- blogastična... imam sklonost izmišljanju riječi i stvaranju složenica.. LOL), i podsjeća me na sandale koje su obično dostupne na Asosu. Love!
Recite mi što mislite...

There will be an answer

Hi people!
Finally new outfit post... We shot these picture a couple of days ago when it still wasn't so cold here, and it wasn't snowing. Right now, it's like -11 degrees Celsius outside, and I just think about staying warm, which is almost impossible if you have to go outside. You have to wear a ton of layers!
Anyhow, when we were shooting these pics I was wearing my new Oasap dress, which I decided to belt this time, although it's not necessary to do so. I just love the sequins on the dress! I accessorized it with my new H&M ring, Sal Y Limon bracelets, my beloved Mango shoes and the clutch I totally forgot about.
Hope you like this look, share your thoughts.
xoxo S.

Pozdrav svima!
Konačno novi outfit post... Ove slike su nastale prije par dana, dok još nije bilo ovako hladno i dok još nije padao snijeg. Sada je oko -11 stupnjeva, i samo razmišljam kako da se utoplim, a to je gotovo nemoguće ako morate ići van. Stvarno morate nositi milijun slojeva odjeće!
Uglavnom, kad sam se slikala prije par dana nosila sam novu Oasap haljinu, koju sam ovaj put odlučila stisnuti s remenom, makar nije neophodno. Obožavam ove našivene šljokice (nema pametnijeg izraza na hrvatskom, makar to nisu doslovce šljokice) na haljini! Od modnih dodataka sam nosila novi H&M prsten, Sal Y Limon narukvice, voljene Mango cipelice i klač na koji sam potpuno zaboravila.
Nadam se da vam se sviđa, komentirajte.
xoxo S.

Ani Ani- Style full of emotions

Hi everyone!
I don't often write about Croatian brands or designers, but when I really like something, I just want to share it with you. Today I will present the designer Ana Sekelj, and her brand called Ani Ani. Ana sees her brand as romantic, elegant and sophisticated. She likes her clothes to be functional, proportional and symmetrical, which is very obvious when you see her collections. I really like that Ana's clothes have very clean lines, and are pretty simple, but look so modern and chic at the same time. Some of her pieces remind me of Scandinavian design because of their simplicity, which is a good thing since I adore Scandinavian design.
Also, she recently opened her store called AniAni Design Store in the Kaciceva Street in Zagreb. I still haven't visited it, but I will very soon because when I saw the pics of the store, my jaw literally dropped. It's beyond gorgeous, and it's very rare to see such a beautifully designed store here.
Enjoy the pics, and tell me what you think about the brand...
xoxo S.

Pozdrav dragi moji!
Ne pišem često o hrvatskim brendovima i dizajnerima, ali kada mi se nešto jako svidi, želim to podijeliti s vama. Danas ću vam predstaviti dizajnericu Anu Sekelj, i njezin brend Ani Ani. Ana vidi svoj brend kao romantičan, elegantan i profinjen. Voli da njena odjeća bude funkcionalna, proporcionalna i simetrična, što je veoma očito kada vidite njene kolekcije. Jako mi se sviđa što Anina odjeća ima čiste linije, i zapravo je prilično jednostavna, ali izgeda jako moderno i chic u isto vrijeme. Neki njeni komadi me podjsećaju na skandinavski dizajn zbog te jednostavnosti, što je odlično jer ja obožavam skandinavski dizajn.
Također, nedavno je otvorila svoj dućan u Kačićevoj koji se zove AniAni Design Store. Ja ga još nisam posjetila ali budem uskoro, jer sam se naprosto oduševila slikama dućana. Prekrasan je, i zapravo je jako rijetko vidjeti kod nas ovako lijepo dizajnirani dućan.
Uživajte u slikama, i recite mi što vi mislite o ovome brendu...
