Fall fashion - September picks

Tee / Watch / Lips / Skirt / Lips / Nails / Bags / Skinnys / Shades / Jacket / Heels / Striped jacket

Summer is long gone, here in Zagreb. Gray, fogy and rainy days are upon us and there is no sense in fighting the fall that has arrived. Long sleeves, scarves even and no more open toes. Fall is here to stay for several months and it only seemed natural to see what this September has in store for us when it comes to fall fashion.

My usual color palette when it comes to clothes depends on the weather, so it is only natural to assume that with colder days and less sun my wardrobe would only go darker in color. But!! To avoid total black look from head to toe, I am thinking of incorporating some burgundy, if that will go with my skin tone, that is yet to be determined.

These are my favorite picks, I am so in love with these flat boots and the skirt. Although it would seem obvious to pair this skirt with high heels, this season I am totally into this boy/girl, feminine/tomboyish mixing of pieces.

The "casual" picks are no brainier for me because I usually mostly (99%) of the time wear skinnys and boots, flats are the easiest, and although I do like cooler days because of the layers, the lack of sun slows me down to a point I have no desire to actually dress up. Crazy right?

What are yours top choices this fall? And how does fall look like where you are from, warm and colorful or gray and rainy?

Asos fall 2013 - want collection

Since ASOS never fails with amazing goods they offer, this is not really some (new) news but just my personal ode to their latest - fall collection.

The fact that it still is mid August and cooler temperatures are more than a month away, doesn't change the fact that ASOS and their collection for fall 2013 made me crazy for rapid change in celsius department.

And the collection is amazing, full of pleats, rich textures and colors, back-to-school-y patterns (just perfect for fall, and what is better for bringing back layers than back to school inspired outfits?) and ensembles.

I love this collection in particular because of its boyish charm that runs through most of the designs and cuts. And to top it all of, there are brogues with gray socks everywhere! They got me at their first outfit. I fell in love with suit ensembles and anything with trousers, actually.

Tartans and pleats, with an occasional polka dot put this collection high on my wishlist. In the "sea" of autumn-y colors and darker mood there are few mood brighteners like playful leopard and bright red, just to spice it up when needed.

I am so ready for fall, are you?

Lovely little things

Do you ever get totally overwhelmed by the amount of inspiring things and people found? I love these moments/days, but at the same time I get equaly frustrated that I can`t process all of it at the same time. Time constraints. Work. So many stuff to do, see, read about ... and the list goes on.

But this is one of those lucky days when I have the priviledge and the opportunity to do what I love - scour the internet. My friends often make jokes about it, say I am like Indiana Jones, the explorer of the intenet. I love days like this, when I can peek into different subjects, get amazed by stunning photographs or inspired by people and words.

I think that is THE WAY to live for me. To explore the world around me, to emerge into the imensity of informations available, to see what is out there; and to take it all in, and take it with me. For life. Eternity.

So naturally this quote by Mary Oliver is perfect for me, I found it at lovely miss Sarah Tolzmann from Note to self. She has an inspiring blog with amazing everyday wisdom, both in photos and words.

Her post that I loved, post so full of positive vibes, great advice and inspiring goals about business of blogging (this topic never goes out of style) you can read here.

Also, I can thank Sarah for sharing a link to A lovely being another inspiring blog, whose author is Fallon Hogerty. If you want a fix on fashion, design, great life and inspiration, A lovely being is a place to visit.

Another great find was a post from The chic sheet about fall resolutions. Fall is just around the corner and resolutions need to be made. And written down. And posted on blogs. Then shopped. YAY! So, the reason why I like this is because normally we are used to do resolutions at the end of a year, and it is so far far away to wait. Too far if you ask me. And the "belief" that a season/year can start with fall and end with summer is kind of appealing too me, its like school season, so maybe that is why I like it. Going back to school was always like a new beginning in life, and each season I looked forward to it with glee.

This will be one of my posts in days to come, its already on my to-do list. (Right behind the skirt week which was delayed due to some technical difficulties. I just hope the pace of posting will get in order soon. Wish me luck!)

Talking about fashion, I was glad to read an article about magazine Slink. I know this is a rather sensitive subjects, and many bloggers/writters/magazines wrote about the subject of how we are constantly fed with images of (super) thin models/women etc. I will not engage in that type of discussion, for that is not the subject of this post, but I will gladly reffer you to The Guardians article that presents the magazine that celebrates CURVES. Enjoy :) p.s. this magazine is not "that" new but, since I just found it it is to me, so my apologies for being late...

Peplum attack. If you remember my post from few weeks ago, and my failed attempt to go crazy for peplums, then you can imagine my thrill when I saw this belt. Yes I know I am a fashion cromagnon in terms of a hot trends - peplums, but this gave me new hope. Maybe, one day... so stay tuned!

Great outfits from AIZEL 24/7 and Buro 24/7 where I found this article about amazing underwater art.

Tulips and lipsticks. A blog. With so many wonderful photos and posts, but in serbian. I discovered it this morning, and I am still browsing through. I just can`t get enough. She always surprises me with new sets of amazing photos, I can not help but wonder, where does she gets them? Is internet, her source endless like a universe. I think yes, and ready for all the Indiana Jones` of the world.

random facebook find

We all now how popular Instagram is, and anyone who used it also knows that it really is fun, creative and you can connect with people and share cute, interesting beautiful photos. And you can go a bit further and get instagram coasters as advised in this article. Its a great idea, not so new as a concept but it occupied my mind and I think it would be great to transfer some moments, memories and events onto coasters as a everyday inspiration and happy reminder on great times, people and places. p.s. also browse through the site, its super interesting and fun.
