My Favorite Summer Tops from Bellalike

Today I have a very special post for you because I have created a selection of my favorite tops from a new website called Bellalike. I'm very excited because there is nothing that I like more to wear during spring and summer than beautiful, flowy blouses and I was able to find many amazing and very trendy designs in this store. 

They have the best selection of cheap blouses so if you are looking to update your summer wardrobe without breaking the bank this is the right place to shop!

I have found that big bell sleeves are still very in this season and I love it as this is one of my favorite trends! They add a lot of interest to a basic black or white blouse and they look great with any other piece in your wardrobe: jeans, denim shorts, skirts, anything!

Then, another of the big trends from last year that continues to be present this season are cold shoulder or off the shoulder tops! I can't get over how feminine and sexy they look! This kind of blouses are the perfect piece to wear on your holidays, or for going out on those summer nights ;)

Last but not the least, we can't forget two other key pieces of any summer wardrobe, these are t-shirts and camisoles. A basic white t-shirt with a fun print can add a very cool and laid back vibe to your outfit. And for those extra-hot days, you can't go wrong with a cami! I actually live in them during summer, you can opt for floral or tropical prints or even stripes like the one below, which looks very stylish. The options are endless.

Also, in case you are looking for some new t-shirts to add to your collection, don't forget to check out their women's t-shirts section because I'm sure you will find some very good items there ;)

Hope you like this post and I would love to know what is your favorite trend right now? And also, what is the piece that you wear the most during summer?

Must-Have Summer Dresses from Zaful

It's been a while since I did my last outfit post but today I have something very special to share with you! Last month, I did a post featuring my favorite spring items from Zaful, and as you know I have been collaborating with this brand so today I'm going to be showing the two dresses I have received from them and that I think are definitely two must-have dresses for this Summer season. 

One of them was already featured on my Spring wishlist and as I fell completely in love with it, I decided to order it and try it out! This absolutely gorgeous red floral wrap dress is one of those dresses that you could wear every single day. Wrap dresses, in general, tend to be very flattering and this one is not the exception, I think it would look perfect on anyone! 

In addition, I'm in love with the delicate floral print and the red tone which I think it has the right amount of boldness, making it perfect for those occasions when you want to stand out. In regards to the fabric, the dress is made of viscose and cotton, which makes it super light and fresh. I got it in a size M and it fits perfectly. What I didn't like that much about the dress is that the V neck is very low so I have to wear it with a camisole underneath in order not to show that much skin, but I'm OK with that.

Then I received this other beautiful dress with lemon print, which I'm absolutely loving right now! I can't get over how fun and gorgeous the print is, I honestly didn't think it would look this good. This dress literally screams summer so that's why I think it's definitely another must-have piece for this season.

The quality of this dress is also very good, it's button down in the front, it has adaptable straps on the shoulders and it has a very interesting cut-out detail on the back. It's made of cotton and a bit of polyester so I'm very satisfied with the fabric too. I also picked this one on a size M and it fits well but a little bit loose, so maybe I could have sized down and it would still fit me. 

I think this is the perfect dress to wear on a holiday, or for going out on those summer afternoons and for today's look, I decided to pair it with my H&M denim jacket, my white Converse and the Chloe inspired bag that I got recently too. This is a very casual outfit but I feel like the dress does all the magic, don't you think?

I hope you like this outfit and both dresses, please let me know which one is your favorite and which are your favorite dresses at the moment ;)

K-Beauty Wishlist from Wishtrend

As you may already know, this year I had the opportunity to try my first K-Beauty products and I have been completely obsessed with Korean skincare products since then. I have seen so many improvements on my skin and I had the best experience with those products I have tried from Wishtrend that I thought about sharing with you some other products I would love to try from this site!

Wishtrend is the right place to shop when it comes to K-Beauty, they have many amazing brands and they even have their own line of products, By Wishtrend. In addition, they always offer special promotions and events. From May 24 to May 31 they are doing the Cruelty- Free Brand Week which is a special event to raise awareness of cruelty-free brands as well as to support animal rights. Besides shopping for your favorite skincare products and getting some really cool gifts and benefits with your order, you will be supporting a very important cause! ;)

Therefore, I thought it was a great initiative to share with you here on the blog and also show you which products I would love to get my hands on!! 

1- Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask

I have always heard that Vitamin E is very good for the skin so when I saw this mask I got really curious about it. According to the site, this product is perfect for brightening and firming the skin, it has antioxidants and whitening properties so your skin looks hydrated and brighter the next morning after using this mask.

2- By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream

I saw this product in one of the videos in Wishtrend's Youtube channel and it looks amazing! This is the perfect product to prevent acne scars and to help your skin regenerate, since it contains Centella Asiatica. The TECA 1% Barrier cream will also lighten pigmentation and it will soothe irritated skin.

3- Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask

I think it wouldn't be a K-Beauty wishlist if I didn't include at least one sheet mask! I have been dying to try one of their sheet mask and I think this one would be the perfect product for me. It's full of moisturizing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid which sounds amazing to add that extra hydration boost to the skin!

So, these would be the top 3 products I would choose from Wishtrend! Don't forget to check out their Cruelty- Free Brand Week from May 24 to May 31 (you can find all the information in the image below), and please let me know if you have tried any of these products or if there is any other Korean product I need to try! ;)

Why it is OK to go back to a place you already visited

With summer just around the corner for many of you who are in the northern hemisphere, I can imagine that you are already thinking about your next vacations and when planning this trip you may be faced with this question: Do I visit a new place or maybe I could go back to that city that I have enjoyed so much last year?

We are currently living in a society that is always looking for completing tasks on a list and sometimes looks like traveling has become one more task, in which we need to tick all the places in our bucket list but it doesn't have to be that way. That's why in today's post I would like to talk about the reasons why it is OK to go back to a place that you have already visited in the past and I'm going to share with you a little bit about my personal experience visiting Split for the second time last year. 

One may think that visiting the same place again it's pointless with so many beautiful spots on this planet but it doesn't actually mean that you are loosing of everything else just because you chose a city you already know. It could be a great opportunity to explore and discover more of a place you already love! That leads me to the first reason:

1- You can discover new things of that place

When I went to Split for the second time, I had the chance to explore a lot more because I have already visited the main touristic places (you can read everything about my first trip here) so, this time I went to a new beach, I tried different coffee places and restaurants and I even went up to the bell tower which was something I didn't do before and it was totally amazing. I also had the chance to take more pictures and to explore more of the area than during my first visit. That was the main reason why I wanted to go back to Split because I wanted to visit the islands that were close by (for example, Brač island and the amazing Zlatni Rat beach) and that allowed me to have a completely different experience while staying in the same city.

The beautiful Split Riviera 

2- You will experience a nice sense of familiarity

I know it's great to go to a place for the very first time and feel completely surprised by all the new things your eyes are seeing but when you visit a city that you already know you will get a nice sense of familiarity with the place. You will recall all the amazing moments you had there in the past and you will also feel super comfortable moving around there because you already know the place! So that's great!
In my case, when I was in Split again I remembered all the fun moments along with the great people I met there and that instantly put me in a great mood during those days. What's even better is that in the second visit I also had so much fun just like in the first time ;)

3- You can relax a lot more

This point is not so obvious but I think that is key. When you are visiting a place for the first time you are likely trying to visit all the main spots and do all the important activities in a few days, before moving to the next destination, which can make you feel a little bit stressful and in a constant rush. But, when you go back to a place you have already visited you can just relax and enjoy it because you already did all the main touristic things, you don't have to worry about how to move around the city, or about getting lost, you already know where everything is located. You are a little bit like a local there and that is a great sensation ;)

In this second visit to Split, I finally touched the feet of the Gregory of Nin Statue, people say it brings you good luck

The incredible bell tower of Split's Cathedral

The Peristyle

So the point of this post is to show you that if you feel like you want to go to a place that you already visited last year and that you loved it, that's completely fine! If it makes you happy, just go and don't worry about missing the opportunity of going somewhere else. You will have plenty of opportunities to visit many incredible places, the important thing is to enjoy and do what feels right for you! 

I even feel like I loved Split more after I went the second time because I was able to establish a different connection with the city. In the first time, the days went by so quickly with all the activities I wanted to do that when I went there the second time, I felt like there was a lot I didn't saw because I was in a rush.  Therefore, I totally feel it's OK to go back to a place for the second time if you want to! In my experience it was great!

But now I would like to know your thoughts on this topic, do you always go to a new place or have you visited a city more than once? How did you feel? I would love to know your experience ;) 

New Video: My Nighttime Skincare Routine

Once again it's time for a new video! I'm very excited because I'm still keeping it up with my goal of uploading one video per month on my Youtube channel. I know it's not that much but hopefully, at some point, I will be able to do more videos ;)

This time, I'm going to be showing you my current nighttime skincare routine because I thought it would be much more interesting to see this in a video rather than in a regular post. I also enjoyed a lot filming and, especially, editing this video because I feel like it was a little bit more challenging than the other ones I was doing before. And I also think I was able to apply more resources to show you what I do in my skincare routine at night. 

Also, I hope that in the near future I'm able to get a tripod because that would make things a lot easier since I had some problems with the frame in this video but I hope you don't mind :P I take this as an opportunity to learn and practice my skills. So, without any further talking, I'm going to leave you with the video. I hope you like it and please let me know in case you have any suggestions for things you would like to see on my channel :)

Ilymix New Sunglasses

I'm super excited to show you a new pair of sunglasses I have recently received from a brand called Ilymix! They have an amazing accessories selection, which includes hats, bags, scarves and, of course, sunglasses. 

All of their items are very trendy and they have many amazing designs so I was very happy to collaborate with them. As I was checking out their site, I went straight to the sunglasses section because they are my favorite accessories along with watches. Sunglasses can make you look instantly cool without making any extra effort. So, I picked up this gorgeous pair of sunglasses and I really like them because they have a very classic design, aviator inspired, but with a few cool touches. 

I feel like this kind of sunglasses suits any face shape perfectly and they are very easy to wear with any outfit. Another great thing about this site is that they offer a wide variety of colors for each sunglasses model but I decided to go for the black one with golden details because I realized I didn't have any pair of sunglasses with this combination. 

They came in a very nice box and a very practical pouch was included with the sunglasses to carry them in your bag. I'm very satisfied with the quality of this sunglasses and I love how they look on my face. 

So, besides sharing with you this quick review of Ilymix sunglasses, I would like to also let you know that you can get a special discount of USD15 in your order by clicking here! ;)

Enjoy your shopping!! :)
