New Shoes

It was about time I treated myself to now one but two pairs of a bit more elegant shoes. I have to admit, when it comes to shoes, my motto is comfort before beauty because I have wide feet:P Because of this, I often didn't wear high heels at all because they made walking an unbearable task, let alone dancing, so I just usually stuck to ballerinas (hey, if they worked for Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot...), a bit more elegant sneakers and flats, any kind of flats. Flat sandals, flat booties, flat boots, flip-flops... Which sucked! Big time.

Then I discovered the labels Ovye and Zara Trafaluc. They have surprisingly comfortable high-heeled shoes which are apropriate for wide feet and what is more important, I can actually stick my feet into them. No blisters. No gritted teeth. No tired legs. Where have you been all my life?!

So, like I said before I had treated myself to two new pairs of shoes, the first label is Zara Trafaluc. They are black high-heeled suede booties that are fantastically comfortable, easy to walk in due to the platforms and are very easy to mix and match with all kinds of other pieces of my wardrobe. I love them and I know I am going to wear them a lot, so it was a good purchase:)

     

 The second pair of shoes are actually leather boots which I love, I got them on sale at a bargain price. The label is Guess and they are super comfortable. The leather feels like butter and because it's such a lovely neutral color I know that I am going to wear them a lot, so it was definitely a good purchase. I love how easy they are to put on, they have a cute zipper on the back which goes all the way to the top. I have to admit that that's why I bought them. You don't see many boots with a long zipper at the back. I thought that was really pretty.   

 

 

Happy Easter everybody!

Ice Cream Colors

Ice Cream Colors by soul-fishingblog featuring pink jewelry

 There is nothing lovelier than wearing ice-cream colors on a lazy Spring morning, drinking cafe latte, and having a chat with your best friend, don't you think?

Ice-cream colors are an all-Spring classic: apricots, vanilla, turquoises, soft browns... as much as I love them I believe the time has come to jazz them up a bit with some bold neons, so in the end, we get a lovely mix of really fresh colors:)

Hope you like my mix:)

My Milkshake Brings all the Boys to the...

Ok, it's not exactly a milkshake, it's a vitamin smoothie. I picked this title because I thought that it sounded... cool. Last week, I've been feeling a bit under the weather so I thought that a nice vitamin smoothie would be just the thing for me. I ended up making two kinds of smoothies, you be the judge, which one is better;)

Ingredients for my vitamin smoothie

1 ripe banana,
1 apple, any kind
1 spoonful of goji berries
2 juicy oranges

You basically just pop your ingredients into your juicer and watch the magic unfold before your eyes, decorate with an edible garnish an hey presto, your vitamin shake is done:)

Because I am nuts about chocolate and everything that has to do with chocolate, with my keen intelect, I have devised a brilliant plan for yet another smoothie!

My chocolate what-the-heck smoothie

Ingredients:
3-5 stoned dates
2-3 spoonfuls of organic cacao nibs
1 cup of fresh milk, it can also be soy milk
1 spoonful of goji berries
1 ripe banana

I just mixed it with my sticky-thing blender and voila! My what-the-heck smoothie was done! It's really good, rich with fiber and potassium, and calcium and god knows what, because I am not an expert. I just really like it:)

REVIEW: Paula's Choice PERFECT SHINE Hydrating Lip Gloss

I have to admit that I am a sucker for anything that has the word ''hydrating'' in it. My skin has always been sensitive and a bit dry, so I have to take extra good care of it (even if I sometimes don't feel like it:S). So a good hydrating facial cream is crucial, the best is from Paula's Choice and I had already done a review on it here. 

I believe that we don't we pay enough attention to lipcare because we are surrounded with ads that promote only facial creams with their Q10s and BBs, and CCs, and IQs and TNTs, I mean there are more initials used for the creams than in the military! But let's go back to my review...

What I really like about this product is that it's not scented, I seriously dislike lipglosses with strong scents. The packaging is very practical and small; it's really compact, so it's perfect for the smallest of purses. The texture is silky and it gives lips a really smooth finish. I love the soft shine on my lips, enhanced by the antioxidant enriched formula, which is crucial for healthy lips. The gloss looks and feels very natural because it's so light in texture. My biggest concern at the beginning was actually how is such a light formula supposed to hydrate my lips but as I applied the gloss on my lips, all my doubts just faded alway. The sheer color of the gloss is absolutely gorgeous and... well, prefect;) 

My lip gloss is in ''Rose Blush''.

OCENA: Paula's Choice PERFECT SHINE Hydrating Lip Gloss 

Moram priznati, da padem na vse, na čemur piše ''vlažilno oz. hidratantno,'' torej ''hydrating'' v angleščini. Moja koža je občutljiva in malo suha, zato moram še posebej dobro paziti nanjo (čeprav mi včasih ni do tega:S). Torej dobra vlažilna krema za obraz je pri meni zelo pomembna, najboljša je od Paula's Choice, ki sem jo že ocenila v članku tukaj.

Menim, da nismo dovolj pozorni na nego ustnic, ker smo obkroženi z oglasi, ki promovirajo samo kreme za obraz z njihovimi Q10 in BBji in CCji in TNTji, mislim več okrajšav uporabljamo za kreme kot v vojski! Ampak vrnimo se nazaj k moji oceni...

Zelo mi je všeč, da ta izdelek ni odišavljen, resnično ne maram glosov z močnimi vonji. Embalaža je zelo praktična in majhna; je kompaktna, torej popolna tudi za najmanjše torbice. Tekstura je svilnata in naredi ustnice zelo gladke. Všeč mi je blagi sijaj na ustnicah, ki ga še poudari formula, obogatena z antioksidanti, kar je izjemnega pomena za zdrave ustnice. Glos daje zelo naraven videz in občutek, ker ima tako lahko teksturo. Na začetku je moja največja skrb v bistvu bila, kako bo tako lahka formula sploh vlažila moje ustnice, ampak ko sem glos nanesla na ustnice so se vsi moji dvomi razblinili. Prosojna barva je naravnost čudovita in... no, popolna;)

Moj glos je v odtenku ''rose blush''.

Hope you found this preview helpful:)

So En Vogue

So En Vogue by soul-fishingblog featuring cut out boots

  I toyed a bit again on Polyvore and created a new set which totally sparked my imagination. I have always liked to mix and match something totally masculine with something totally feminine. Like these really bad ass biker booties with gentle pastel pink oversized blouse. And I also fell inlove with the zipper pattern on the tights, it looks really cool and it gives the entire outfit that extra ''oompf''. Wear it with this great leather jacket and Chloe perfume.

Blogger Meeting

Once upon a time, in a faraway land called Slovenia (that is NOT Slovakia or Slavonia. Or Belarus. Or Russia for that matter) six young maidens met. These young maidens possessed special powers. They could transform the utmost ordinary things into beautiful pieces of art and then they put them on the the thing called ''interneth'', for the most ordinary mortals to see. 

They spoke the language of art, fashion and beauty (and also a bit of German, English and French). They were bound together by the bonds of sisterhood, which was strengthened by the magic caffeinated potion they drank as they chatted in yonder land, the land of Slovenia. 

The potion was truly magical, as it loosened their tongues and got them talking about such matters as hello cotton, getting sponsors for their blogs and the best online shops. Needless to say, the meeting of the sisterhood of the interneth was truly magnificent and a great success. The photo of the meeting is yonder below.

Do you liketh the photo?

Spikes 'n Studs 'n Pearlstrings

As I was window-shopping in Vienna I came across a rather imaginative array of shoes. I would expect such shoes to be displayed in an alternative shop but these were carefully arranged next to grandma's loafers and maryjanes. It's happened. Last year there were studs and this year it's spikes turn to mainstream! I'm not sure what to think of them, I mean studs are cool, but spikes are a bit trickier to wear and get away with them. You'll see what I mean.

Note: Beware of the women who wear pearls and golden spikes at the same time:)

You've been warned. 

If it came down to a fight and you kicked somebody with these shoes, 

they would most likely bleed to death. Just saying. 

The Jeffrey Campbell spiked maryjanes. Well, sort of. If they came in red they would be appropriate for the punk rock version of the Wizard of Oz. And Dorothy would wear a nose ring, made the lion her new bitch and Toto would get eaten in the end.

I don't know why but I just keep imagining my grandma wearing this beige number...

The Vienna Street Style

This weekend I was busy taking photos in the wind city. No, I am not talking about Chicago. I am talking about the city that never sleeps. And it's not New York either. It's Vienna:)

I love Vienna. It's so romantic, it has this... old school vibe that I just love. And when I say old school, I mean really old school, more like Habsburger Monarchy old school. The Mixture of Habsburger and Jugendstil buildings, the really cool museums and art exhibitions, the old cafes with waiters wearing black bow ties and crisp white shirts... everything in Austria is so clean, and Eco-friendly and organized... I love it there.

This was my fourth visit to Vienna and I always find something new and exciting to look forward to until my next visit:)

I wish you guys a successful week!

love,

Teja
