I know what you're thinking: "Yet another girl wearing THE yellow jacket?" Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that this jacket received so much love amongst Zara lovers, but regardless of the situation, I love it so much I just had to use if for my blog. And in my defence, someone gave me a wonderful compliment the other day, telling me that I'm a very yellow person and that I give away yellow/sunny energy. Now if that's not a great excuse to wear this jacket ALL the time, I don't know what is, haha :D

Fashion tip:
Mustard yellow is quite a strong colour this season and I love to style it with mid or dark wash denim. It pops the outfit to another lever of chic and it make it very fresh.
Today's outfit is very simple, with high waisted denim and a slip shirt over a classic T-shirt which is my go-to style tip, for dressing down a romantic shirt.

SLO:
No, pa še en post z rumeno jakno, si zagotovo mislite ob pogledu na današnjo objavo. Ha, po pravici povedano sem malce presenečena, da je tale rumen sonček požel toliko ljubezni med ljubiteljicami Zare. Kakorkoli, ta barva mi je že od nekdaj ljuba, prav tako jakne v videzu usnja, zato - bingo! In v kolikor vse to ni zadosten razlog, da jo ves čas nosim, vam lahko izdam še, da sem pred dnevi prejela krasen kompliment, da oddajam rumeno/sončno energijo in sem zelo rumena oseba. Prodano! :)

Modni nasvet:
Gorčično rumena ne samo, da je v letošnji sezoni zelo priljubljena barva, je tudi odlična v kombinaciji s srednje temnim-do-temnim denimom. Styling v trenutku osveži in doda krasen "poletni chic" element.
Današnji styling je precej preprost, kjer sem, za malce drame pod romantično čipkasto majico, dodala še navadno belo majico. Trik, ki ga sama velikokrat uporabim, ko želim dodati malce robustnosti samemu stylingu.

Our local weather obviously understands how I feel about high temperatures - not yet ready to jump into swimwear and dance around in short dresses! - and has postponed the heat for a few additional days. And tomorrow I'm definitely going to the gym, I swear! Tomorrow! Too much of Instagram for me, I guess :D
So let's forget its almost June and just pretend that today's styling is completely appropriate. That way we can all adore this mix'n'match kinda outfit ;)

Fashion tip:
Gingham is really nice but in "mix&match" combination with stripes it makes it even more fun and unique. I layered a long sleeved shirt under my gingram ruffled top. But to make the whole outfit as a whole, I put transparent striped socks under my flats. Yup, socks can also have a big role when it comes to outfits - just make sure they somehow fit with your look. :)

SLO:
Mrzlo vreme konec maja si razlagam kot odlično sodelovanje z mojim trenutnim razpoloženjem, ki kar ni in ni pripravljen na lahkotna poplesovanja v kratkih oblekicah, ... da ne govorimo o kopalkah. Uh, jutri grem pa res na fitnes! in ... mogoče malo manj Instagrama ne bo škodilo. ;)
Zato danes priporočam, da zignoriramo koledar in se pretvarjajmo, kako zelo je styling primeren za jesen ... khm ...pomlad! :)

Modni nasvet:
O gingamu sem se že razpisala, danes pa sem se odločila za malce bolj zabavno in drugačno verzijo, zato sem ga skombinirala s črtami. Ker sem želela celoten outfit zaključiti v celoto, sem obula še prosojne črtaste nogavičke, ter jih obula pod špičaste balerinke. Ja, tudi nogavičke lahko igrajo pomembno vlogo pri stiliranju, pomembno je le, da se na nek način vklopijo s celotnim izgledom. :)

Most of my days I wear black and quite a few layers underneath my jacket. And when I say black, I mean a whole lot of black - from head to toe and a few layers usually mean three or even more. :)
But that doesn't mean I don't like to slip in colours and ditch the "floating over my hips" pieces, every now and than, that's for sure. I think you kinda know that already. :D
Today I wanted to show, how a very simple and comfy look can actually be very on point and trendy without any outrageous pieces. Cause lets face it, we all have those days when a basic T-shirt, jeans and comfy shoes are our best friends, right? :)
Instead of sneakers and leather looking jacket (my go-to pieces usually), this time I went for a more relaxed vibe, opposed to a sporty-lux one. Lace up platform espadrilles are my new obsession and parka is by far the best piece to have for the "you-never-know-when-its-going-to-RAIN" weather. :D

Fashion tip:
Since my skinny jeans are really quite skinny to be fair, I had to make some balance with a more boxy T-shirt to avoid the sexy look. Espadriles on my feet are the reason, you should ditch your flats for this summer! :)

SLO:
Večino časa preživim v črnih oblačilih in neskončnem plastenju. In ko rečem črna oblačila, mislim zares črn outfit in ko omenjam plastenje je najlažje, če si predstavljate čebulo, haha. Ja, večino časa, sem to jaz. :)
Vseeno pa to nikakor ne pomeni, da občasno ne skočim v barve, da ne zaplešem samozavestno v ozkih hlačah, tudi brez plasti, ki mi plapolajo okrog bokov.
Današnji izbor je primer tega, kako lahko popolnoma sproščen in preprost outfit izgleda trendi, brez vsakršnih kričečih kosov. Roko na srce, vse imamo dneve, ko so kavbojke, majica in nizki čevlji naši edini prijatelji.
Namesto športne elegance superg in jakne v videzu usnja (ki sta navadno moja izbira), sem danes izbrala bolj ležerne kose. Espadrile, ki se zavežejo po nartu, so moja nova poletna obsesija, parka pa odlična izbira za tiste dneve, ko te dež lahko ujame na vsakem koraku.

Modni nasvet:
Ker so tokrat ozke kavbojke zares ozke, sem v izogib preveč vpadljivemu videzu, izbrala ohlapno majico, ki je odličen način za uravnoteženje ležernega videza. Na nogah pa so letošnji hit sezone, espadrile, ki že pridno izpodrivajo klasične balerinke. 

Being a fashion/personal stylist I firmly believe in accentuating parts of the body one feels most comfortable with and "camouflaging" the ones one is not too keen on. In most cases, this actually means or leads to dressing up appropriate to your body figure. Now, a lot of people say confidence comes when you wear the things you like. I disagree. Sure, everyone feels at its best when wearing baggy clothes cause they are comfy, but they most surely aren't the most flattering (models and instagram fit girls excluded). I believe that everyone has that one part of their body that they like and want to redirect focus on it. While on the other hand, we all want to hide the parts we don't like. And that's where your self-esteem is built and that is why I love styling and fashion so much.

Fashion tip:
I myself feel most comfortable accentuating my upper part of my body. So picking lighter turtle-neck under my slip instantly drags attentions, whereas the "all-black" lower part blends together, noticeably.

SLO:
Kot modna in osebna stlistka vedno rada poudarim tisti del telesa, katerega posameznik na sebi občuduje, ter z nekaj modni triki poskrbim za to, da z izbranimi kosi oblačil, tisti "ne ravno najljubši" del telesa, nase ne vleče pozornosti. V večini primerov se izkaže, da tak način stilranja navadno pripelje do tega, da obleke prilagodim tipu telesa posameznika!
Navkljub vsemu, sem večkrat zasledila stavek, da si najbolj samozavesten, ko se oblečeš v tisto, v čemer ti je najbolj udobno oz. ti je najbolj všeč, ne glede na to, ali to dejansko ustreza postavi. Žal se ne strinjam. Če namreč izvzamemo fit instagram dekleta in manekenke, potem se lahko strinjamo, da prevelika oblačila redkokdaj laskajo telesu, navkljub temu, da so tako udobna, kajne? :)
Prepričana sem, da prav vsak posameznik, s tem ko spretno izpostavi svoj ljubljeni del telesa in ob primerni "kamuflaži" neljubega dela, pozabi na ne-sigurnosti in samozavestno zasije. In zato obožujem modno stiliranje.

Modni nasvet:
Sama rada pozornost preusmerjam na zgornji del telesa, medtem ko spodnji del stiliram na čimbolj nevpadljiv način. Danes sem s svetlim pulijem pod kombinežo (kombinacija, ki je vroč modni hit!) pozornost preusmerila na zgornji del, spodnji pa v vsej črnini ni kričal po pozornosti. 

I've decided its time to get a bit more upfront and personal and made a digitorial about me, rather just about stylings this time. If you follow me on Instagram - @mancinasspot (if you dont, I think now its time to do so, haha), than you've probably already created an image of me. Sort of. But if you wanna know more about me ... read a few fun facts bellow.

Tokrat sem se odločila za malo drugačno objavo, ter fokus namesto na obleke, preusmerila nase. Če mi sledite na Instagramu - @mancinasspot (če mi še ne, mislim da je sedaj čas za to, haha) ste si o meni morda že narisali sliko. Če pa bi radi izvedeli kaj več o meni, ... pa si v nadaljevanju preberite nekaj zanimivih dejstev :)
- I am quite clumsy and very goofy.
- My friends tease me, that I should open an animal shelter, since I rescue practically every animal I can, whenever and wherever. Maybe one day... =)
- I drink black coffee with no sugar.
- Its easy to make me cry, especially when its something animal related.
- I spent too much time on my phone.
- When I paint my nails, I always start with the middle finger, haha.
- I love browsing through photos of past memories on my phone. So when caseapp contacted me to design my own phone-case, I made a polaroid collage of my favorite people, places and pets. That way I can have them in my visible spectrum all the time. :)

- Pred dobrim letom sem se odločila, da svoje prehrambene navade iz vegetarijanstva spremenim v striktno rastlinsko prehrano. Ne želim več podpirati krute mlečno-mesne industrije. Rezultati so odlični, moja duša je mirnejša in telo bolj zdravo.
- Sem štorasta in zelo norčava.
- Če je le v moji moči, vedno in povsod rešujem živali. Prijatelji me že hecajo naj odprem zavetišče... Mogoče nekoč! =)
- Obožujem črno kavo, brez sladkorja.
- Hitro padem v jok, če pa so v igri živali, je za solzne oči vprašanje sekund.
- Občutno preveč časa preživim na telefonu. 
- Ko si lakiram nohte, vedno začnem s sredincem, haha.
- Brskanje med slikami polnimi spominov je nekaj kar obožujem in ko so me s strani ekipe caseapp kontaktirali naj oblikujem ovitek za telefon po svojih željah, sem naredila nekaj meni zelo posebnega. V obliki polaroidnih slik sem sestavila kolaž mojih najljubših ljudi, krajev ter seveda živali. Tako ne potrebujem več konstantno brskati po telefonu. =)

How to maintain shiny and light blond hair without harsh preparations is an ongoing every blonde girl's dilemma?!
Those who colour their hair, reach for the purple shampoo to take out the brassiness, whereas the ones with natural blond hair use shampoos with chamomile and lemon - to do the magic of lightning.
I've been using the John Frieda shampoo for the longest time, but I have decided its time to jump on the band wagon of cruelty free products and start using brands that are not tested on animals. After a little bit of research, here are the two products that I've been using lately.

SLO:
Kako obdržati lase svetle in sijoče na najbolj preprost način, je večna dilema vsake blondinke.
Tiste, ki si lase barvajo, poleg navadnega, posegajo še po vijoličnih šamponih, ki jih enkrat tedensko vtrejo v lase in s katerim iz svojih las izpirajo sive podtone. Naravne blondinke pa rade (poleg nastavljanja sončnim žarkom) posegamo po šamponih z limono in kamilico, ki nam preko celega leta naravno svetlijo lase na naraven način.
Sama sem več let uporabljala šampon John Frieda, sedaj pa sem se odločila tudi sama stopiti v boj proti testiranju lepotnih izdelkov na živalih in se po nekaj raziskavah odločila za naslednja izdelka.
I found this chamomile L'erbolario shampoo that doesn't test on animals and decided to check it out, mainly because it lightens blonde hair due to its ingrediants. I've been trying it out for a month and here's what I've found out.
- UPORABA:
Pri drugem izpiranju čutim tisto "škripanje" las, ki ti sporoča da je šampon opravil dobro delo in pusti lase resnično čiste, kar obožujem a najti šampon te vrste je danes prava redkost. Preden ga sperem pustim delovati na laseh slabih 5 min.
- PRIPOROČILA:
Na prvi občutek, imam občutek, da lase malce izsuši, a ko so suhi temu ni niti približno tako -le zares čisti so. Lasje počasi svetlijo, sojini proteini pa dodajo sijaj, ter na njih naredijo nežen zaščitni film (Kar zna predstavljati problem, če so lasje zelo tanki, saj jih lahko obteži).
