New Summer Favorites

Although I have been here in Zagreb as a tourist a few times before I finally moved here almost two years ago, I have realized that I didn't have any nice pictures that feature the amazing St. Mark's Church in the Upper Town, which is for sure a symbol of the city. 

This postcard of Zagreb is easily recognized by the unique ceiling the church has, which makes it even more beautiful and special.

I love taking walks in the Upper Town because it's usually very quiet and it's the perfect place to take pictures since the antique architecture is stunning and not many people are around so you can take your time until you get the perfect shot. I'm also very shy when it comes to taking my outfit photos so whenever I can find a spot that is not so busy, I'm very happy and I feel like the pictures turn out so much better and natural. 

This week we have been having very high temperatures so I thought it would be a great opportunity to wear some of my new summer favorites which I have bought recently in the sales. I have to say that I'm especially in love with my new bag from Zara because I have been obsessed with straw bags ever since they came out a couple of summers ago I am very happy they are still trendy. This bag, in particular, looks more sophisticated because of the leather details it has so I find it goes very well with any of my outfits. 

My next new favorite is this pair of high waisted shorts from H&M. I wasn't very fond of high waisted bottoms but I'm now convinced. These shorts look very nice and the color is so versatile and perfect for hot summer days and also evening dates since it's one of those colors you can easily style more casually or formally depending on the rest of the outfit. 

I hope you like these new summer favorites I was able to find in the summer sales and let me know if you have found some good deals lately and which are the pieces you are loving this season :)

Fall Wishlist 2018

After a really long time of not posting here, I'm finally back! It was really strange for me not to be present on the blogosphere since I have been posting consistently for the last four years. The thing is that the last two months were full of big changes for me, so I really had to concentrate on those changes and put my blog aside for a little while but now I have started posting again I will hopefully continue the same way as before. 

Anyway, for today's post, I wanted to do something very quick and share with you some of my favorite pieces for this new season! Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons because you can mix a lot of different pieces and as the weather changes, I feel like you have the chance to wear almost anything in your closet. 

Coat | Vest | Jacket

The pieces I have been more drawn to lately are definitely boots, jackets, cozy sweaters (find here a good selection of women sweater) and hats! These articles are the staples of a fall wardrobe. 

Grey Sweater | White Sweater | Sweater with Pearls

Wool Hat | Cap

When it comes to picking colors for this season, I feel like neutral colors are the stars of fall! Nothing looks better than a classic grey knit or a camel coat. And if you want to add some more fun to your closet, you can always pick some animal print (another star of the season) which works exactly like a neutral but it's much more interesting. 

Leopard Print Boots | Ankle Boots | Boot with Straps

I really hope you like this post and I would love to know which trends are you loving lately? Did you also jump to the leopard print bandwagon? Let me know in the comments!! :)

Monthly Favorites: October

This month I have decided to continue with doing a Favorites post because there were a couple of things I was really loving during October. Some of them are new, some of them are oldies but goodies and they all share in common the fact that I have been loving them and using them a lot during last month! So, for this Favorites post, I'm going to share with you a couple of my beauty favorites, some clothing pieces that I have been wearing to death and a random item. Let's get to it!

1- Kiehl's Smoothing Oil-Infused Leave-In Concentrate

I know I'm repeating myself with this one but ever since I got this product for my birthday I have been using it non stop! I have to apply this to my hair every single day because it's really helping me to keep my frizz in control and also it makes my hair softer and shinier. Plus, as this concentrate has Argan and Babassu Oils you can imagine the incredible smell it has! I'm so in love with this product!

2- Mask of Magnaminty by Lush

I'm also repeating with this one and I have already done a review, but I feel like I need to add this to my monthly favorites as well because I have been using this mask every single week since I bought it in Croatia and I love it so much! The fresh and soft minty smell and how good it cleans my skin make this product one of my favorites lately. I'm running out of it and I'm already suffering because I can't get Lush products in Argentina so I guess that gives me a very good excuse to book a new trip, don't you think? ;)

3- H&M Nude Loafers

These have been my go-to shoes this last month because they are simple, comfortable, very stylish and they are so easy to style with everything. Also, I have been loving loafers lately and these ones are perfect for Spring because of their nude color. I think they look very pretty and I love wearing them!

4- Zara Zodiac Pattern T-shirt

I have already mentioned this item in my last haul and it definitely deserves a place in my monthly favorites because now that the days are warmer I have been wearing this T-shirt all the time! It's so comfortable and the fabric is very light, perfect for Spring season. Also, it goes well with any outfit and  I'm obsessed with this kind of Zodiac/ Astral print.

5- My new Coloring Book

This is the random item of this monthly favorites post. Last month I bought my first coloring book and I love it!!! I really wanted to start with this new hobby because I have heard that coloring is a good active meditation and it helps you relax and reduce stress but I didn't feel like coloring mandalas, so when I saw this book to paint different monuments of the world I thought it was perfect for me!! All the drawings are so beautiful and it has all the most important monuments, like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, the Colosseum in Rome, etc. so I'm having lots of fun doing this :)

So, that's it!! I hope you like this monthly favorites post and please let me know which items have you been loving lately? I would love to know! 

Spring Summer Haul Video!!

I have recently set up a goal of trying to do one video every month. I know it's not too much but I'm more interested in being consistent rather than doing a lot of videos in the beginning and then not being able to keep it up. So far, for these last two months, I was able to do one video for each and I'm already working on the video for November. So, I'm feeling very excited and satisfied with this :)
Anyway, for today's video, I wanted to show you a haul of all the clothes I bought during my last summer trip! It's so funny because I bought everything in Croatia, while it was summer in Europe, so for all of you who follow me and are currently in Europe, this would be last season but, as I'm back in Argentina and we are moving towards summer, this is the current season :D
I think it's great to shop while I'm traveling so I can have a complete summer wardrobe ready to wear when I'm back home. So, I hope you like this video and please let me know which item is your favorite! Also, remember you can check all of my other videos on my Youtube channel and in case you have any suggestions or recommendations for my videos I would really appreciate your feedback :)

The clothes I bought in Europe

Hoy les quiero compartir los ítems que compré durante mi viaje a Europa. Como mencioné en uno de mis posts anteriores, me dirigí a las tiendas con una lista ya pensada de cosas que quería comprar para poder ser más organizada con mi tiempo y con mi dinero. Además tenía algunas limitaciones de espacio, ya que fui con una valija de tamaño medio-chico, así que tenía que ser muy cuidadosa con las cosas que fui comprando ( En este aspecto, ya aprendí la lección y voy a tratar de comprarme una valija un poco más grande para mis próximos viajes). Así que sin más introducción les muestro la ropa que compré en Europa.

Today I want share with you, the items I bought during my eurotrip. As I have mentioned in one of my previous post, I went to the stores with a list in my mind of things I wanted to buy in order to be more organized with my time and money. I also had some limitations with the space in my suitcase, since I only have a medium-small suitcase, so I had to be very concious with the things I bought (lesson learnt: I'm going to buy a bigger suitcase for my next trips). So, with no further introduction I show you the clothes I bought in Europe:

Wishlist for my Trip to Europe

En menos de dos semana, me voy a ir por primera vez a Europa, es también la primera vez que hago un viaje tan largo así que estoy muy entusiasmada y también un poco nerviosa al respecto. Así que como la fecha se esta aproximando, no puedo parar de pensar en todas las cosas que tengo que preparar antes de irme, todas las cosas que voy a hacer en cada una de las ciudades que voy a visitar, las cosas que necesito llevar en la valija, etc. Estos días me la paso haciendo listas de todo y me pareció que sería útil armar una wishlist de las prendas que me gustaría comprar en Europa. Para eso me puse a ver las páginas de las tiendas que voy a visitar, ya que me parece una muy buena forma de ver de antemano qué prendas hay disponibles, ver los precios de cada cosa y así poder ir calculando un presupuesto aproximado de lo que vamos a gastar.
En primer lugar, estuve mirando la página de H&M debido a que no hay tiendas de esta marca en Argentina, así que me interesaba mucho ver qué prendas tenían disponibles. Después como de costumbre, me fijé en la página de Zara, ya que siempre encuentro cosas geniales de esta marca.
Otro punto importante de hacer esta wishlist es que me permitió concentrarme en aquellas prendas que necesitaría comprar en lugar de ir directamente ahí y comprarme lo primero que encuentre, especialmente para estas grandes tiendas en las que hay tanta variedad que muchas veces termina haciendo que uno se mareé y no encuentre lo que busca.Siempre ayuda ir con un plan de antemano.
Así que decidí que necesito comprar: en primer lugar, un trench de buena calidad en color beige (ese sería mi must have), un buen tapado, una campera de cuero y algún buen par de jeans. Estas son las opciones que encontré en ambas tiendas. 

In less than two weeks I will be travelling for the first time to Europe, it's the first time I travel this far so I'm really excited and nervous about it. As the date is approaching I can't stop thinking about all the things I have to prepare before I leave, all the things I'm going to do in the different cities, all the things I need to pack, etc. I keep making lists of everything and I thought it would be useful to prepare a wishlist of the clothes and garments I would like to buy in Europe. I think that checking the websites of the stores I am going to visit is a great way to see in advance what is available, see the prices and calculate an estimated budget for the purchases.
Firstly I checked out what is available in H&M webpage, because there are no H&M stores here in Argentina so I really wanted to buy some stuff there. And then I checked out the collection from Zara because I always find great garments from this store.
Another great thing about making this wishlist is that I can concentrate on the basic clothes I need to purchase, instead of just going there and buying anything that comes my way, especially in these great stores, where there are a lot of different things it can be a little bit confusing and it's easy to get a bit lost. It always help to have a plan.
So I decided that I need to get a good quality beige trench coat (that's my must have), a coat, a leather jacket and some nice jeans. And these are the options I came up with from these two stores:

H&M
