My IT pieces for winter

Hello and happy Friday!
Today I want to present to you something a bit different, we’ll talk about fashion. I’ll show you my favorite pieces for colder days that I already own and my wish list for upcoming months which already includes summer dress. Stores already sell summer dresses! Recently I’ve been sort off lucky fashion wise, because I love latest trends. I adore checked patterns, 70s fashion, mustard yellow tones, tweed, floral embroidery and classical marine look stripes.

Checked dress with floral embroidery (Zara)
This is my new addition. I bought it on sale after at least three months of observing it from far and wondering if I would ever wear this or not. To be honest it is still waiting for debut. I think that will be next month for my father birthday when we’re planning to go out for a lunch. I think it is short enough to be worn over pants and not too warm for upcoming spring. Checks alone can be boring, so these flowers are somehow uplifting. Hope they don’t look childish.


Checked top (Reserved)
This is old school and makes me feel grown up and serious, but still young when worn with jeans. It is comfortable and warm top although has ¾ sleeves. I like to wear it with statement jewelry or brighter lips/nails. Great choice for many events.


Bag from tweed (Stradivarius)
When I first saw this was like: ˝Oh I need it, it’s made for me˝. My wardrobe is turning into shades of blue and gray, so I definitely needed complimentary bag. It is not really well made, but for its price is just ok. It looks fancy and brightens up my outfit. I needed some time to figure out how to open it – so embarrassing.


Embroidered bag (Carpisa)
Although this is on my favorite list I have mixed feelings about it. I mean it looks very beautiful, that’s the reason I bought it, but it’s not as practical as I thought it would be. Firstly the bag alone is heavy. The best way is to use it as a handbag, which can be annoying sometimes. It is spacious, but not too big. Maybe I need to give it some time to get used to it. I mostly wear only smaller cross-body bags with me, so this is something different. Still no regrets, because it’s gorgeous to me.


Holographic jewelry (Mohito)
I’m mostly fan of minimalistic pieces, but sometimes you just need something bigger and shiny to brighten up an outfit and maybe uplift your mood. I like to wear this with one-color tops. I already got some compliments when wearing this which I never ever do!


Scarves (Orsay, Stradivarius, H&M)
Scarves are a must during colder months. They make me feel warm and comfortable. I love when my perfume stays on them for days. The only thing that bothers me is that they can be giant and sometimes make me look funny. You know when scarf in peeking under your coat you know where. That’s akward.


Knitted dress (Orsay)
I’m not a dress person and definitely not a winter dress person. Sometimes I just feel the unknown and strange power to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. This was one on those moments. I wore this just once, but it made me feel quite comfortable, so I’ll surely wear it again soon. You just need to pick the right day and moment to fit in with your wardrobe I think. Otherwise you feel like all eyes are on you and not it good way. This dress is super comfortable and warm. The tricky thing for me is to create the overall look, like choosing the right shoes, jacket, color of tights, bag. So complicated!


Checked shirt with floral embroidery (C und A)
Shirts can sometimes look bad and remind on old farmer. My choice is classical, red checked with some floral twist. It is very soft and comfortable, but not very warm, it’s made from blend of cotton and polyester. I don’t like winter flannel shirts; they can look super dull after some washing and can be too warm. I also like its looser fit; I think that makes it more casual.


Black jeans with floral embroidery (C und A)
Black jeans are long wanted must have for my wardrobe. They look more elegant than regular blue jeans and are more versatile, you know that funeral- work range ; Anyway, jeans have to be elastic, comfortable for sitting and of course they need to look good. Classic black trousers can be boring, so I opted for this embroidered version, which adds a bit off dynamic, but is still discreet. This fabric is not that magnetic for all little things from chairs and cushions. Fit itself is almost that ˝skinny legs˝ one what can eventually be a bad thing. The length of these jeans is a bit shorter than usual which still bothers me sometimes, but it is what it is.


Now let's move on to my wish list

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
