Believe in yourself

No matter what happens in the outside world, as long as you have faith in yourself, no darkness can touch you!” – Mehmet Murat ildan

Today I decided to share with you something that’s not just a fashion article but one that is more personal about me.

Some years ago, there was a time when the lack of belief in myself was a big factor in my life. I was not pursuing anything that I wanted to, because I didn’t think I could. Sometimes it can be hard to believe in yourself, especially if you feel like you have something to offer but don’t know how to present it and are reluctant to do it because you’re afraid what people will tell you.

But as the time goes by I have learned that it’s completely fine to try, even if I fail, and to put myself out there and be imperfect, because everyone is worthy and capable to do something they believe in.

I try to set goals for myself and meet those goals. Once I make a goal, I work hard to achieve it. My education and previous work history were very different, but inside my dreams have always been drawing me to fashion.

Staying positive and learning from my failures made me think in the right direction. So, if you did something wrong, embrace it, because you’ll have an easier time to know what is right from wrong.

Today’s post is a challenge for me, too – before I never believed enough in myself and my figure to make a photoshoot in underwear (here in one of my favorite brands “Intimissimi”) – but as you can see I did, because I managed to overcome those concerns in a fashionway.

So, just believe in yourself and follow your dreams! ?

Encourage yourself, believe in yourself, and love yourself. Never doubt who you are” – Stephanie Lahart

Still trying to gather some summer feeling

As the summer nears its end we start to miss the sunny days. But don’t regret it because it’s over, smile, as this is how the world works – a new season with it’s new opportunities is coming.

And most importantly try to be happy, because „People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.“ — Anton Chekhov

I am trying to do the same by enjoying the sunny days, still dressed with my summer clothes, wearing this beautiful Intimissimi body. It is one of my absolutely favorites, matches almost everything, even with a blazer in the autumn.

July pink try on with a floral touch

This post is all about one of my favorite outfits – jeans shorts with a no-shoulder cut top. A pair of simple shorts which are never out of fashion could be combined almost with every kind of shirt. I usually wear jeans in standard colors, but as the hot pink has been stepping up it’s game this spring and summer for my look today I chose shorts in this sweet color and a floral top with a matching star sewn on it. To complement the look I took one of my favorite „I love summer“ shoes, which have their own flower – fruit print, too.

What about you – are you keen on wearing jeans shorts in hot, sweet colors? Try it , during the summer every eye catching color brings great mood and good vibes!

Spring gives me wings

After a long winter, the days are getting warmer and the sun is staying out longer. I love the change of seasons. Every new season has something beautiful to offer. So is with the fashion – new trends and new colors are waiting for us. And as the fashion spring/summer palette is full with shades of sun colors, I find them gathered in this wonderful butterfly tunic. The outfit is complemented with those chic pink sunglasses, which also have the form of a butterfly and follow the current pink trend.

When winter gives way to spring, for me this is the favourite change of seasons, as it reminds me it’s time to start getting ready for the coming summer – I am so excited preparing my summer wardrobe… what about you?

Sun color, sunny mood

Some of the most fashionable colors for spring/summer 2019 are yellow, all the shades of sun, white and milky, all the caramel nuances, pastel colors and the always trendy black. Of course also many possible combinations between them. But as the spring is already here, the sun shines almost every day and I am in a sunny mood and in one of my favorite cities – Milano, my choice is this sunny yellow color. It is a daily outfit – a yellow t-shirt with a black cardigan which I find great. Normally, bright colors like yellow make one’s figure look bigger, that’s why combining with a light black coat or a cardigan proper for the season fits perfectly and makes the silhouette look great. And because I am a great street style fan, jeans are often my favorite to make the outfit complete. Of course with beautiful small accessories, in a fashionway!

Carnival in Lanaken and Valkenburg

I want to share with you a great experience I had in the last days in Holland and Belgium – the Carnival. In Holland, Carnival is a holiday mainly celebrated in the south of the country in the the provinces Limburg and Noord-Brabant. The inhabitants take the Carnival celebrations very seriously – they prepare a lot and make it very well organised – they dance, sing and drink, wearing colorful outfits.

Every year the Carnival has its Prince – the Prince of Carnival, who for three days, together with his subjects celebrates the temporary establishment of their Kingdom of Fools. Merrymakers make their way from pub to pub and greet the Prince Carnival with three cheers of “Alaaf”.

In Belgium the festival goes in a very similar manner like in the Netherlands – I had the chance to enjoy the fun at a local street party in Lanaken. Every year people all over France and Belgium celebrate Carnival by dressing up in vibrant costumes, striking hats and masks in a tradition that goes back centuries.

The festival has its origins in the Christian custom of giving up something for Lent. Also known as Mardi Gras, the annual event is staged to mark the beginning of a 40-day period of abstinence. And although the most famous parades are the ones staged in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro, the people of Belgium are also dab hands at creating a spectacle for the yearly celebration.
