As you might remember from my previous posts, I’ve been mentioning that I would be attending my friend’s wedding and it happened two days ago in a little town on the South of Croatia. Little town in which I grew up, went to school in and have so much that still connects me to it. Some of the memories will never die and I will always in a way or another have special place for this town in my heart.
I was happy to bring along my daughter with me to the wedding ceremony to witness one of the most beautiful moments and highlights of any relationship. I know that real love doesn’t need any papers, stamps or “files” but when there is a wedding happening already, it’s such a sweet and magical moment which makes everybody equally happy and excited to see the smiles and proudness on the faces of the bride and groom.
Seeing my friend and her now husband getting married, having that magical love aura surrounding them and being just so truly happy in that moment, right there and then surrounded by the closest people made me realise how little we need to be truly happy and how often we think that we need this or that in order to be someday completely happy. I have already touched base on this same subject before and it’s more clear to me now than ever before that…
There’s no such thing as complete happiness and there are no formulas on how to get happiness come to or be part of your daily life. We all hurt and cry, we all laugh and love, it’s just up to our inner selves how much we’ll let the real happiness be part of our daily lives. Seeing my daughter being excited and happy about the smallest things such as Kinder Surprise and which toy she’ll get in it made me think more and realise that happiness truly does lie in the smallest things and it’s never about the big things, let alone materialistic ones. I have been “guilty” of thinking that having more will give you more happiness, stability, closure… Whatever! That’s bullocks my dear readers. Core of real happiness is inside of us and it’s not up to anybody else OR hoarding on things to make us happy… It’s up to us to let ourselves BE happy and appreciate the smallest, daily life miracles. It is a miracle and a pure happiness to open your eyes every day and know that you are alive, that you breathe, that you have a possibility to do a good deed, that you have a chance to put a smile on another person’s face, that you have the choice to surprise a friend with a flower bouquet… That you have an option to be happy and spread happiness anywhere you go. It’s not in the big things, it’s not in materialistic things… It’s in that kid’s honest smile, it’s in that perfect ice cream ball in a cone, it’s in the sun that is shining today…

Thank you Sofia, you are so kind!
I shall be reading your words many times today. They are so wonderful. Love your look for the wedding. I’ve mentioned before, that shade of blue is lovely on you. And the Trench, a must have in any wardrobe.
Thank you so much Jo for always having the sweetest words and for your constant support.
You are so sweet, too, Natali. You almost make me blush!
Hugs.

Thank you Marta, I love these sunnies!
Natali, your words speak directly to my heart! We get so caught up in the rat race, working more, earning more, buying more, and we think it’ll bring us contentment (if not happiness), but to borrow your words, that’s “bollocks”. Happiness lies in waking up beside someone you love, in making the perfect homemade pizza, in the smell of the freshly mowed grass, and I could go on and on. It’s so important to remember this - so thanks so much for the reminder!
I’m happy to read you again! Big hugs

Thank you, you’re so sweet!
Obožavam ove balerinke, crvena boja je baš podigla čitav look!
Drago mi je da uživaš i da si se super provela na vjenčanju!
I ja ih obozavam i vec nosim godinama.
Je, bas je bilo predivno na vjencanju, skroz “netradicionalno” i posebno.
I love weddings! And how fun to visit your home town with your daughter. Loving your red shoes and bag.

What a beautifully written post, Natali, and it’s true, we get more when we expect less. And I do think a marriage is such a wonderful thing for our children, regardless of gender, to see and feel and experience. The entire ceremony focuses on the importance of the non tangible which is how it ought to be
you have a new fan in me xoxo
Beautiful combo. You look lovely. And some good thoughts here. xoxoxo

This is such a gorgeous look! I love your pops of red and the trench coat.

Firstly, love the blue coat, it’s a beautiful colour and really flattering on your skin tone. Secondly, I enjoyed reading your post and being reminded of how we let ourselves get in the way of our own happiness sometimes by not appreciating the little things we have right now in our lives. Children are such good role models for living in the present.

Da, streća je stvarno u najmanjim stvarima, samo se mi ljudi trebamo uvijek iznova i iznova podsjetiti kada krememo stremiti previše prema visinama.
Kombinacija je divna, baš sam i sama poludila za crvenim detaljima u obliku cipelica i ogrlica, baš podignu svaku kombinaciju. Naočale su mrak!
Beautiful outfits! Love this bag so much and the sunglasses!

What a classy look! Love it!
djeca su ponekad najbolji učitelji, kada njih vidimo kako se raduju malim stvarima i kako znaju živjeti u trenutku, onda i sami shvatimo koliko je važno uvijek gledati život svježim očima i cijeniti njegovu ljepotu i kompleksnost. Divna kombinacija, sviđa mi se kako si uskladila crvene baletanke i torbicu.
You look super elegant in those two coat <3
