Unexpected field trips always make my day. Unplanned but well spent, they spice up my weekends and free tima and give a great opportunity to loose, enjoy, travel but most of all - relax.
Short field trip to Ljubljana
Few weeks ago I went on a field trip to Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was short but sweet. Ljubljana is so beautiful, I didn`t even know. Although I`ve been to Ljubljana so many times, I have never visited the city center, till now (few weeks ago). And I was so surprised and amazed. Loved it. Ate some amazing food in restaurant called Sokol and the best home made ice cream in the world by the river in cute little patisserie. Can`t remember the name though. Mango, cognac and black sesame ice cream... oh, no words to describe these heavenly tastes. Unfortunately no photo of that ice cream heaven. I was too busy showing it in my mouth. And I don`t even like ice cream that much. Anyhoo, Ljubljana rules.

Polka dot circle skirt DIY
Another little DIY project from the full circle skirt department is here. Do you remember this post? Thanks to amazing instructions from lovely Geneva from blog a pair and a spare i have decided to try one more super easy peasy skirt DIY.
When I saw this amazing outfit on pinterest I know I had to make a skirt like that.
So the quest began. Searching for a perfect dotted fabric was a bit of a challenge, but nothing a trip to another country to get what I wanted wouldn`t solve. Thank you Slovenia!
Yesterday afternoon seemed like a perfect time to get the job done. The already tried recipe for tailoring the perfect doughnut for my skirt to be was studied carefully due to some changes. So, as you can see, Geneve gave us useful little diagram for taking measures and doing everything right. Her skirt was the type with a zipper and a waist band, but I wasn`t feeling too eager or able to master such heavy quantum physics. Just kidding, it is not that hard, I`m just super lazy. So, my plan was to make the waist (hole) a bit bigger - try hips size. I measured my hips and did the math (as explained by Geneve) and the rest was done as per her advice.
Since I decided not to complicate my life and my Sunday afternoon with zippers and whatnot, I came up with a plan - a small waist-band-hem-hole will be made in which I will and successfully did insert elastic band in the measure of my actual waist. The knot was tied, the elastic was inside the hem and the skirt was done. Simple and I even didn`t have to think or even bother to make pleats. Genius master mind, I tell you! As you can (hopefully) see the skirt is rich in pleats and that is because of the bigger waist hole than my actual waist. When the band was inserted and sized to my waist size the fabric just gathered more closely and made pleats.
As you can see I did my best by posing for the camera. True professional. All lies. Photos were taken by my phone just so I can show my friend the skirt. But if anyone asks it was a long but very successful shoot. And I was a perfect model, a true star.
t-shirt - Zara, shoes - Atmosphere (btw if anyone has a super small feet, very small 36 and would like tu buy these red bow shoes send me an e-mail)
p.s. if anyone knows where to buy fabric with bigger dots pls let me know. I am currently on a hunt for red fabric with big black dots. Like this one.

Lately in life
Spring has arrived and so has summer. Bits and pieces of daily life, some food and an occasional DIY. As for DIYs, I have so many projects lined up, can`t wait to share them with you.
Happy anniversary
It has been two years since the day we said "I do". The time passes so quick. And yet I feel like all that has been in some other life. A lots has happened since then.
These are few photos from our wedding shoot. It was all like in a movie.

Spring fashion bazzar in Zagreb / outfit post
Last weekend I went to this cute little fashion bazaar held in Zagreb. Unfortunately I only bought a piece of cake (it was so delicious!) but had a great time. It was a lovely day, almost summer-y.
And wait and behold, here is a photo of me. On rare occasions I do stand in front of the camera I become all confused and stage fright takes over so, you get this. My best shot :D god help me.
As you can see I am back to my "original" hair color and the hair has grown!
This is my Sunday casual hippie inspired outfit, seems perfect . I blended just right to that whole fashion bazzar theme. The satchel is vintage, in fact, it is almost 100 years old.
I wish these fashion bazzar festivals would happen a bit more. I have always been fascinated with photos and stories from famous flea markets from around the world, like NYC etc. Every city in the world should have them, and ona regular bassis.
