Summer 2014 outfit ideas!

Like I mentioned earlier, I've been obsessed with thrifting. And during winter I've found some summer-y items on the discount section, yay! I bought it all, obviously ;) Here are some outfit ideas for stuff that I found (and all of you probably already own)

1. Shorts

Ultimate wear of every summer since forever and this year is no exception. The worst thing here is trying to buy REAL high waisted denim shorts - you know, the ones from the 80s. Not some cheap low waist crap that seems to be in every god-damn store I step into. Thrifting was the answer to my problems (thank you Jesus! or Buddha! or the Flying spaghetti monster!)
This is my goal outfit - goal as in "I'm currently eating healthy and excercising so I can pull this off"

HOW TO WEAR: black velvet dress

Recently I've been terorrising my local thrift shop (basically the ONLY one we have in this lousy city) with my daily visits. I am obsessed. Totally, utterly, completely obsessed.
Couple of weeks ago they had a spring sale and I got some AHHHHMAZING items for (almost) free.
One of the great finds was a black velvet mini dress with long sleeves and I got it for $3.

The question I was asking myself a few hours later, when I got home and tried to pair it with basically everything I have in my closet is - what the hell am I supposed to wear with it?

1. A night out
The reason why I love this dress is because it has long slevees and it hides my arm fat. Sad, but its the truth :)
So I would wear this dress with timeless pointed toe heels (these are Gianvito Rossi and cost a fortune, but if you want a really great and cheap pair of pointed toes Zara, Asos or River Island is your answer. Trust me!) and a black leather clutch. Make sure you dont overdue with prints or materials on other items (shoes, bag), they should be very simple - like sleek leather. No huge jewelry either, unless you want to look like a baroque countess.  Add a simple pair of pearl earrings and some fine ring jewelry and you're good to go.

What To Wear With A Denim Jacket

Denim jackets are so 90s and cool, don't you think? I found one in the basement and it used to belong to my dad  (20 years ago when he as skinny and looked like John Travolta in Grease, haha) and now it's mine! If you have a lil bit of imagination, you can pair it with almost anything and it can be worn in the summer or winter.
If you're not really keen on wearing your plain denim jacket, maybe try a DIY project like this, this or something simple like this one and look extra fab!

1. Leather skirt
This one is a bit tricky and kinda hard to pull off...but what's fashion if not experimenting? :) If you're daring enough try rocking this outfit with super high heel boots! I know Rihanna would. ;)

How To Wear Summer Dresses In Fall/Winter

This can be a tricky one. Wearing a dress in the winter can easily turn into a fashion disaster (for example, just few days ago a friend asked me if would be okay to wear her midi flower summer dress over a green turtleneck sweater. My jaw dropped.) , but on the other hand it can look very chick.

I would avoid typicall summer fabrics such as rayon or linen - there are exceptions though, such as chiffon. 

1. Cotton maxi dress

• In my opinion, the easiest summer dress to wear in the winter. You really can't go wrong with this one:)  Pair it with a jacket or a coat and some quality leather boots and you're good to go!

What To Wear With Electric Blue

Electric blue is one of my fave bright colours to wear! I went shopping yesterday and saw so many key pieces in electric blue, so I decided to make a post about what to pair it with whether you have blue boots, jeans, jacket etc.
When it comes to electric blue, you can't go wrong with the black and white combo. It also goes great with burgundy, cream, pale pink, grey or brown.
Here are some of my suggestions:)

What To Wear With A Burgundy Skater Skirt

We all love skater skirts and burgundy colour is (along with black) the perfect colour for this fall/winter. Burgundy colour is actually associated with Burgundy wine, which is named after a region in France and - in case you didn't know - is dark red.

Now the more complicated question is - how to wear it? I came up with 5 different looks, from casual to more sophisticated, for any occasion:)

Look nr. 1
Burgundy leather skater skirt with a black blazer 
You can't go wrong with a skater skirt and a blazer. For this look I decided to pair them with high heels, a black turtleneck, black and white scarf and some gold accesories. I'd wear my hair in a sleek ponytail and kept my makeup simple, but heavy on the eyes. Leather skirt and extremely high heels definitely add some edginess, so this look would be perfect a girls night out.

10 Winter Essentials 2013/2014

Have you ever noticed how during winter everybody just look...kinda the same in their puffy jackets and uggs? In my city, winter is the fashion serial killer. The one that leaves a mess behind. (a rather sick comparison, but I'm a weird person.)

So, what to do to look fabulous when there's 5 feet of snow outside, 20°F, wind blowing directly to your face and your hands are f* frozen? Along with dry skin, brittle hair and chapped lips of course. You've probably noticed I absolutely hate winter - now I know I said something completely different a month ago, but now that's starting to get really cold I realized why I always wanted to be a bear. I could just stuff my face with yummy food and then sleep for 3 months.

1. Leather sleeves
Very commercial, but let's face it - effin' HOT! You can always dress it down or dress it up and looks Burberry-ish, double win! I've seen a bunch of coats with leather sleeves in stores already, so I suggest buying yours online (if you live in a small country like I do, where we only have like 5 different coats to chose from. Not really, but pretty close.)
But there's not just coats - cardigans, dresses, tops, you name it! Great for adding a little high fashion to your wardrobe. My advice is to keep it in neutral tones though.

2. Leather pants
Essential. Just DON'T pair it with leather jackets or any leather of any kind (except maybe a leather bag/shoes) if you don't want to look like Hell's Angels.
Leather pants look good with a silk blouse, tailored coat and high heels. Or simple shirt, cardigan, sneakers and a chinky scarf if you wanna dress it down.
Other alternatives are leather leggings, but I advise against wearing them. Just invest a couple of dollars more (you don't necesarilly have to buy real leather, faux is just as good and a hundred times cheaper) and buy fitting and flattering pants. Leather leggings just emphasize bits we don't want to show the world + it looks cheap most of the time.

4 ways to wear leather pants

Leather pants or leggings can be a tricky piece to wear, I admit. Still, I can't wait for summer to end - the heat here is unbearable, I cant even sit outside for more than 15 minutes at the time + all the great fall pieces are anxiously waiting in my closet!
 I put together a few casual and glam outfits for you girls to rock:) Most of the items used are below $50, so definitely worth checking out!


#1 Kim Kardashian 
You can smarten up your leather pants with a chic white blouse and blazer and a cute pair of pointed toe heels, like Kim K. Make sure the blazer is long enough to cover your derriere, that will make you look thinner and taller. Perfect outfit for a first date :)

All White Outfits

All white outfits are a must in the fall/winter 2013, so why not try one? I put together 4 different looks for you and I hope they'll give you some inspiration:)

#1 
Comfy jeggings and an oversized jumper paired with Chuck Taylor's, an ultimate all white casual wear. A perfect outfit for school or a relaxing coffee with your friends. Super comfortable to wear but still looks fashionable! Pair it with a darker lipstick, a gold choker and a pair of  white heels/boots for a more glamorous look.

4 back to school & college outfits for curvy girls

I'm SO excited to go back to college this year. I've been travelling all over the world for the past 2 years, surfing couches in Germany, United Kingdom, Serbia, Bosnia, Brussels, France and the United States. School of life and it taught me A LOT. Exploring new languages, getting to really know people and their culture, gazillion art galleries, exhibitons, natural wonders... Memories I'll never forget. Travelling the world gave me something a college can't. Experiences. Now it's time to finally get my degree and start a career.
In fact, I filled out forms and acceptance papers and all that crap just a few hours ago. I'm officially a student of Faculty of Criminology and Criminal Justice in Ljubljana. Life is good.

Now we all want to look the best on our first day and here are some outfits I put together for us, curvy girls:) Flaunt it if you have it, right? Totally.


#1 City Chic
A casual outfit, glamoured up by a pair of pointed toe heels and a bright ring for a pop of colour.
You can wear jeggins or leggings (i usually wear shapewear underneath, but that's totally optional - looks way better though, no bumps a very smooth appearance). Choose an oversized top that will be long enough, same gor for the blazer. Picking a too short one will make your hips look larger and give you a "chunkier" appearance and that's quite the opposite of what we want. Button it in the middle, that will give you an hourglass figure. From my experiences, flowy scarves like this from McQueen (you can get a ton of variaties for the fraction of the price) make you look taller and skinnier. Pointed toes make your legs look a mile long! If you wear your hair in a high bun, that will work in your advantage too - adds a few inches to your height which gives a slimmer appearance.
