Gift Ideas: Zara's New Zodiac Collection

Now that we are in the holiday season, I think it's time to start thinking about some cool gift ideas for the important people in our lives. One of the things I love the most during this time of the year is how brands always come up with the most beautiful gift sets and every year they bring up new ideas. 

I love this kind of gift sets especially because they always include amazing packaging so you don't have to worry about how you are going to wrap that gift. It's the easiest way to gift something that you are sure the other person will love!

The other day I saw that Zara has recently launched a new Zodiac collection and maybe some of you already know how obsessed I am with astrology so besides buying something of this collection for myself, I'm sure this could be a great gift option for this holiday season. 

I also love it as a gift idea because I feel like is something a little more personal because you can gift something from that person's zodiac sign! And as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, wearing something with the symbol of your zodiac sign helps you to channel that energy and incorporate it into your life. Also, I find that these symbols are very eye-catching and great conversation starters. 

Zara's new Zodiac collection includes silk scarves for each of the zodiac signs which are so classy and their designs give me major Dior vibes because Mr. Christian Dior was also obsessed with astrology and everything magical.

There are also bag sets for each sign which include a bag and eye mask, a scrunchy, and a pair of socks. The bag and the eye mask have the zodiac sign embroidered which I find is a very nice touch. And everything comes beautifully packed in a box. That's why I think this could be a perfect gift which is also personal because it has that person's zodiac sign. 

What do you think about this gift idea? Do you like wearing pieces that have your zodiac sign? Have you already started buying Christmas gifts? Let me know in the comments. 

Advent Calendars Wishlist

Advent calendars are something relatively new to me since it's not common in Argentina, the country where I come from. There is not an Advent tradition there so I never thought about buying an Advent calendar until I moved to Croatia. 

I feel like it's such a nice and special way to get ready for Christmas and it makes the holiday season so much better because it's not only one day but a whole month that you celebrate and receive little present until Christmas day. 

Advent calendars come in all shapes and forms, you have the traditional chocolate ones, the makeup, and skincare ones, which are definitely my favorites, but you can also find tea advent calendars and also gin and tonic ones. There is one option perfect for everyone and I think that is why they are so popular.

I think in these uncertain times in which we are not sure how the holiday season is going to be like, having a little ritual that gives us comfort and a bit of happiness every day sounds like a great idea. Therefore, I wanted to put up this wishlist with the Advent calendar I would like to shop this season. 

High end

The Dior Beauty Advent Calendar has to be my ultimate advent calendar dream, not only because I love Dior beauty products but also because the design of this calendar is absolutely dreamy and stunning. It's like an actual piece of art!

The Net-a-Porter 25 day Beauty Advent Calendar is the perfect option for the luxury skincare lover. This one has a very elegant and sleek design in black and white which looks really chic.

More affordable

L'Occitane is one of those Advent calendar classics that we wait for it every year. This 2020 Signature Advent Calendar has a great selection of products, and it has a good price point but they also have a luxury version which is a little bit more expensive, so it great they offer different options for every budget.

The Douglas Advent Calendar has a very cute and simple design but it really caught my attention, I like the around the world theme and I also think it includes a good selection of different brands and beauty products, so it's a great option if you would like to try more than one brand. 

The Revolution Advent Calendar is without a doubt an excellent option for the makeup fanatics because it includes some great makeup goodies from the brand at a very affordable price. This is another one that I'm seriously considering getting because I think it offers great value for the money. 

I think that would be all for my Advent Calendar wishlist, I will make sure to let you know if I buy any of these. Which one is your favorite? Or if you have any other advent calendar in your wishlist let me know :)

Last Minute Valentine's Day Gift Guide from Zaful

Being just two days away from Valentine's Day, I thought about creating a Last Minute gift guide with my favorites picks for him and for her from Zaful fashion! In case you are still looking for the perfect present to give to your loved one this post is perfect for you! 
This web store is hosting an amazing Valentines Sale 2018 in which you will be able to find amazing pieces at a very affordable price. Zaful has everything you may need for this special occasion, for her but also for him as well. So, without further talking, let me show you my favorites! 

Swimsuit | Top | Bag | Sneakers

If you are looking for a cute present for that special girl in your life, I have found these amazing items that I'm sure she will absolutely adore! In the first place, I have picked a beautiful swimming suit because Zaful is very well known for their amazing designs in swimwear.  What I particularly love about this one, is that is pretty classic but it has a fun and interesting touch with the tropical leaf print, I'm currently loving everything with this kind of design!
Then I have selected this lovely top with this kisses print which I thought was very appropriate for Valentine's but also very easy to wear in any other time of the year.
The third item I loved was this super original heart-shaped bag!! How cute is this??? I'm obsessed with it and I think it will be a nice bag for every girl to add that pop of color on any basic outfit! :)
Last but not the least, I have picked some white sneakers with a lovely rose embroidery detail on them. I have already mentioned how obsessed I am with anything embroidered so when I saw these sneakers I knew I had to include them in this gift guide! That style of shoe is perfect for every day and it's also very easy to style, so that's why they will make a very nice present! In case you would like to see more gift ideas, I also recommend you to check their Valentine's underwear collection. ;)

Sweater | Swimsuit | T-Shirt | Sneakers

Now it's time to talk about gift ideas for him! First, I have picked this very elegant sweater, which I love because it's a very classic color but it has a very interesting detail with the buttons embellishment. I think sweaters are a good present because no matter his particular style they are a very basic piece, that everyone wears. 

Then, I have also picked a swimsuit because I loved the color combination of this one, again is a very classic style but with nice colors and very easy to pair with anything. 

Another great gift option is, without a doubt, a cool t-shirt. I loved the print on this one because I think looks very modern and trendy! And I also think it would look very nice paired with the swim shorts, don't you think?

Lastly, I have picked some sneakers as well, because they look super comfortable but cool at the same time! The grey color is perfect to wear with everything so that way, you can make sure that he will wear them all the time ;)

So, those would be all my gift ideas for this Valentine's day! I hope you find this post useful and that you can find the perfect gift for that special person in your life! Also, let me know which item is your favorite from this selection? I would love to know! :)

Cool Map Decoration by Modern Map Art

I couldn't be more excited to share this post with you because it was a long time since I have received this gorgeous map of Buenos Aires from the lovely people at Modern Map Art and I really wanted to show you how cool this looks like but the truth is that it took me a while to find the perfect frame for it. The printed map is so beautiful that I couldn't just put it on any frame, that is the reason why the print was sitting in my room waiting until I found it and I'm so happy I took my time on that search because now it looks even more beautiful!
Anyway, going back to the print, it was sent to me by the people from Modern Map Art, they are a brand who makes extremely cool map designs in posters to decorate your home or office, pillows for your bed and even phone cases! This is without a doubt a great gift idea for any traveller friend you may have (or even yourself) because you can choose from many different cities in the world, and you can even pick your favourite country or your favourite mountain map, perfect for the ski lovers as well! Also, you can pick between different colour options and sizes for your printed map so it matches and fits perfectly with the wall you would like to decorate.

It's a great and very original idea to have a nice memory at home of your favourite city, or your hometown, the country you visited when you travelled abroad for the first time but in a way that looks very chic, trendy and sophisticated.
In my case, I received the map of the city I live in, Buenos Aires, and I picked the white version because I think the lighter version of the map matches better with my home office space, where I decided to put it. Plus, on the white version, the river was painted in blue and to me, it looks nicer. Anyway, the black version of the map also looks very elegant and chic, so it was a hard decision to make.

All of these details, such as the city or country you would like to choose, the colour and the size are very easy to define on their website. Everything is very clearly specified for each product and the shopping experience is very enjoyable. I would only point out for those living outside of US that the sizes are expressed in inches instead of centimetres, so keep that in mind when ordering your print.
Another great aspect about shopping in Modern Map Art is that the delivery of the product was extremely fast! I was totally surprised by how fast my print arrived home and of course, it was in perfect conditions and it looks exactly as it does on the website.
I'm very pleased with the quality and the design of this poster and I think it looks perfect in my home office space. In addition, I'm sure it will inspire me when I'm working on the blog just by taking a look at it. I like this idea that much that I'm really thinking about getting another poster with the printed map of Zagreb which is my favourite city in the world!! What do you think? Do you like this map design? Which city would you pick? Tell me in the comments, I would love to know! :)


*Modern Map Art sent me this printed map for me to review. However, all opinions are mine.
