How to style mom jeans? That was the question which intrigued me when I spotted this particular pair of mom jeans at Zara. I love to wear jeans and I find trashed, vintage looking denim super cool too but I have never been into mom jeans, therefore I had no clue how to look effortlessly cool as many other girls do pulling off one of the biggest trends right now.

Art of stillness… or chilling the f* down. 😀 I’ve been having some thoughts on how “being busy” has become a 2nd word for “success”. If you ask somebody how are you doing, what have you been up to, etc. 99% of the time the answer will be something like: ” Dude, I’ve been SOOOOO busy!” Being soooo busy has become a norm for being so important, so advanced, so successful that it makes me laugh.

You are a wonder my friend… Whoever is reading this post today, I want you to know that you’re nothing less than a pure wonder! Yes, you, you are a wonder with all of your vices and all of your flaws. You are a wonder no matter which size, shape, colour or status you have. You are a wonder just because you are YOU and you are part of what makes this world go forward each day. Continue Reading…
Spreading happiness with a pair of Happy Socks? Why not?! This is my favourite time of the year and esp. now I wanna spread happiness and good vibes everywhere I go. There is no time to be “upset” about silly, small things… Life is too short not to wear a pair of uplifting, Happy Socks! 😀 Continue Reading…
Are you looking for the best fair isle sweater? Look no more, I have found THE one and it’s this beautiful piece by JCrew which has been sold out pretty much everywhere. If you would have asked me couple of years ago, I wouldn’t come near a fair isle sweater as that wasn’t something I could picture myself wearing even at coziness of my own home, but little did I know that in Winter 2017/2018 I’ll be all into wearing a fair isle sweater and even get super excited seeing DHL guy delivering it! 😀 Continue Reading…
As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, the snow has arrived to Finland and we’ve been enjoying some brightness and Winter fun ( read: sliding through slippery streets, making first snowman, putting on 4-5 layers of clothes 😀 , etc. ) but as of yesterday, we’re back to Fall like weather, warmer temperatures and pouring rain.
Something that does make me happy about this kind of weather is the styling of my daily outfits, it’s not too cold for “I couldn’t care less how I look like” outfits, but it’s perfectly “chilly” to be more playful and creative with my combos.
Good Saturday my dears! I’m a day late with my usual Friday roundup but I wanted to still put out a favourites post, so I’m sharing them on this Saturday morning and hoping that you’ll like it as much as my other “5 for Friday” posts. 🙂
There’s a thought that’s been on my mind a lot lately… Sometimes, it’s been so present in my daily life that I’ve been loosing sleep over it. Maybe because I’m a too sensitive soul, maybe because I’m a mom that wants the best future and society possible for my daughter… Maybe it’s just because I bleed?! I bleed like everybody else does… Some people hide their sorrows better, some aren’t as skilful, but we all do, indeed bleed. What I’m talking about is – judging! Why do we judge each other so easily? We are not know it alls and we’re not more special than the person we’re “looking wrong” at.
We’re beautiful, unique creatures, all sent to this earth with our unique personality which was sent down here to make a difference… Even the smallest difference is a significant one and the one that was supposed to be done. Maybe we were sent here to influence by talking or maybe by singing… Maybe we were supposed to “touch” other people’s hearts by our beautiful paintings… Maybe we were sent down here to be somebody’s mom, a life teacher, maybe a daughter which will hold our hand through though moments in life, maybe we were supposed to write so beautifully that we would inspire others by that. We were all sent down to this earth with a special purpose and a good, positive, kind one that is.
Something that we might not all be aware of is that as much as we are unique, everybody else is too. As much as we’r vulnerable, others are too… No matter what it may seem on the outside, we all need the support from each other, understanding, love.
Way too many times I’ve seen people pointing fingers at each other, starting or continuing constant fights over such meaningless things… So many times bad and ugly things overshadow the beautiful moments we could be living. Only if we would see more clearly, only if we would try bit harder to be there for each other, if we would try to be more acceptive and understanding of each other, this world would be a much better and more promising place to raise our children in.
We both have good and bad sides inside of us… We are the devil that we feed. What you give out is what you build yourself of. The bad thoughts about yourself or others will always prevent you from completely finding beauty, goodness and magic of life… But remember, once you’ll bleed, you’ll want that saving, comforting hand and there won’t be a single one if you’ve lacked to give one when it was needed.
If we would just open up our eyes more often and instead of staring into our phones, tv and laptop screen and instead of living on the “auto-mode”, maybe we would see how much we and everybody around us needs a change, help and a promise of a better future.

Hello dear readers and happy Friday! The post comes online a bit later than usual this Friday. I’ve been having some hectic couple of days in Croatia, but working is always lots of fun at the same time, the sun is shining, food is super delicious… I really can’t complain at all. 🙂
How are you doing my dears? I’m so happy and thankful to all of you for always engaging so well with all of my posts and leaving me your comments. I read through all of them and I try my best in answering all of them too. You really make my day and the blogging is never hard, but very motivating job instead.
I’m back with my 5 for Friday post, 5 photos from my Instagram feed which I loved in the past week. If you wish to follow my daily adventures and know more about what I’m up to, then follow me on my Instagram profile HERE!
What are your plans for this weekend? It seems that there will be a first real heatwave coming to the South of Croatia tomorrow, so I’ll make sure to take day off and spend it by the beach with my daughter and take my friend for lunch too.
Have a wonderful Friday everybody and take care! <3 <3 <3
Happy month of May everybody!! How was your weekend? Did you had a nice May Day celebrations? I had a chill weekend which consisted of long walks, “sucking up” all of the sunshine ( weather was incredible ) and having an ice cream by the beach. I went to Sea Life as well since I love the sea world and it’s creatures. 🙂 Sea Life always makes me calm…
I love the idea and feeling of new, fresh beginnings and every time, when the 1st of month comes around, I feel that I have a chance to press that invisible “restart” button, sort out my thoughts, have a conversation with my inner being and get a clearer picture of the path I’ll be taking on that month(s).
I feel that the time which we’re given in this life is a gift and a curse at the same time. It’s a gift, because if we use our time right, we can do so much, we can make a big difference in the world eventually and we can def. someday die knowing that we’ve done it and seen it all… But if we don’t use the time that we’ve been given to the max, we’ll always feel somehow “lost”, uncomplished and as if the time just slipped out of our hands. E’ll wake up someday when we’re suddenly 10 years older and will have no idea where did the time in between pass by.
Writing down 5 things I’m thankful for and 5 things that I want to accomplish/ do each month does help me see and feel that I’m using my “fresh start” correctly or they give me perspective on what I could and want to do more of in the next month.
Couple of years ago I had the attitude of “there’s still time” and a lot of days were taken for granted because of that. I only now see that the time we’ve been given is so precious, uncontrollable and it might end tomorrow, so hitting the refresh or restart button every 1st of the month has proven to be a very good thing for me.. It also made me much more humble in sense that I’ve learned to find the beauty everywhere around me, in the smallest of the things. Hitting the restart button made me see that when you do a lot of little, but significant things each month, you’ll end up having a year that will equal the value of 5 years of being “lost in translation”.
Go, hit that restart button today and make this month of May the best one so far. 🙂
