Summer Lookbook

I believe I've never done a post like this, but I enjoy reading similar posts so I thought why not try and do one myself. At the end of the day, this is my blog, this is a place where I do what I want and share my inspirations, thoughts and things that happen in my life.

So today, for the first time, I am doing a summer lookbook.

The idea came to me because lately I've spent a lot of my free time in shops. I must admit, it's convenient that my job is located in a shopping area and that whenever I finish early I wonder around shops, trying on clothes and a lot of time I end up buying them. 

I love the things I bought so much that I wanted to share it with you and show them off, so you can see for yourself. Besides it is always good to get a second opinion, right?

Let's get started.

The first thing I fell in love with is this black romper. It's not anything special, but I absolutely adore how comfortable it is. Besides I feel like it looks very neat without too much thought put into it. When you combine it with some sandals and a pair of earrings it's a perfect outfit for going out in a warm summer evenings. I got this black romper from Stradivarius store for 19,95€.

The next one is a black dress from Zara which I bought for work. It ends a little bit above my knees, which in my opinion, is the most appropriate length for a work place in hot summer days. It hugs my upper body perfectly than falls freely from my hips down. I like those kind of dresses because they enhance the body parts I am most proud of and show off my figure in a sophisticated way. As I mentioned before I bought this dress in Zara for approximately 13€.

For a while I wanted shorts that look like a skirt which are incredible comfy. Somehow every single one I found either didn't suit me or I didn't like the pattern. But I stumbled upon this burgundy flowery ones in Stradivarius store and immediately fell in love. They are super summery and I love wearing them with a basic white shirt. I think they were 9,95€.

The last piece of clothing is this grey dress. It's a bit warmer so I will probably wear it when we go out for the night since nights can get a bit colder. I believe this dress will also come handy in autumn with a pair of tights. It's a bit tighter than what I usually wear, but the material is super soft, so it feels like you are wrapped in a blanket. I got this one in Bershka for 19,99€.

This is it for today. Let me know if you like this kind of post and if I should do more. Furthermore, let me know what you think about the clothes!

See you next week!

Fighting through

Have you ever got yourself into situation that kept you up at nigh?

I am sure we all have.

Either it's an exam you didn't study enough for or a job interview that you don't feel prepared for.

When we go to bed, we overthink things - at least I do - and you can work yourself up and cause so many unnecessary stress which leads to not sleeping well.

That's the right time to ask yourself if the situation is worth all the trouble it's causing you.

I've been going through this a lot since less week when I landed a job which doesn't really suit me. I believe when you have to do something every day it should be enjoyable, you should love it and put you heart into it. Luckily, I am a student so I know I won't be stuck with this job forever, but I also know I have at least two more weeks of working there.

So what do you do?

I believe you should get the best out of it. Think about everything good that it brings. For me, right now, that's meeting new people (my colleagues are great by the way ), earning money and gaining experience. However, it can be tricky because the job itself is making me uneasy. And that's something I'm not okay with since I am a very anxious person and have experienced a few panic attacks before. That's also a reason I try to avoid situation like this.

I am hoping things will get better during this week. Maybe, I'll fall into a routine and won't think about it anymore even though I think there's a low chance of that.

How are you guys holding up? Is everything okay?

Why I decided not to blog in June

It feels good to be back.

Writing, editing, searching for photos to complete my post.

It's been more than a month since my last post, but I cannot say I regret it. I needed some time off and not writing a blog in the meantime seemed like a good idea.

And it was a good idea.

While having my little break from a blog I noticed that I genuinely enjoyed things I was doing. In my humble opining, once you have a blog and decide to write regularly it quickly takes over your life. Every week you search for new, interesting things to write about. It pushes you to go out more, to experience different things and then discuss them here.

However, I found myself worrying about how to turn what I was experiencing into a good blog post instead of actually being there, enjoying what I was doing and putting my heart into it.

At first I thought that maybe I was the only one experiencing this, and maybe I am, but I've been reading this book about a successful bloger and her entire life revolves around blog posts. Everything she does is for the sake of her blog and I don't want to be that person.

This month and a half was a blessing for me. I worked as a rollerblading instructor, I was at the seaside for almost three weeks, I meet new people, I learned new card game and I've been completely present at all these things without thinking how to turn them into a blog post.

I hope you can forgive me for not writing for such a long time, but anyway I don't regret my decision to push this blog aside for a while.
