La bella Italia

Pretprošli vikend sam bila u Italiji, što ste sigurno pročitali u prethodnim postovima. Mantova, Parma, Cinque Terre i za kraj, meni najljepša, Genova - možda zato jer podsjeća na Rijeku :). Danas ću vam pisati o Mantovi i Parmi koje smo posjetili prvi dan puta. 

Last weekend I was in Italy. You have certainly read about that in previous posts. Mantova, Parma, Cinque Terre and at the end, for me the most beautiful, Genova - perhaps because it is reminiscent to Rijeka :). Today I will write you about Mantova and Parma, which we visited first day of our trip.

Mantova, mali grad, okružen trima umjetnim jezerima nastalim u 12. stoljeću, nalazi se u regiji Lombardija. Čim uđete u grad proći ćete pored impresivne Duždeve palače - Palazzo Ducale di Mantova, rezidencije obitelji Gonzaga koja je vladala Mantovom. Svakako prošećite kroz vrtove, osobito ako dolazite u vrijeme sieste, ljeti kad je najveća žega, jer pružaju hlad. U Mantovi se nalazi i palača gdje se izvodio Verdiev Rigoletto. 

Mantova, a small town, surrounded by three artificial lakes created in the 12th century, is located in the Lombardy region. As soon as you enter in city you will pass the impressive Palazzo Ducale di Mantova, residence of the Gonzaga family which ruled Mantova. Be sure to take a walk through the gardens, especially if you arrive during siesta, in the summer, when the temperature are 35°C, because they provide coolness. In Mantova, you can see the palace where the Rigoletto from Verdi performed.

Parma

Nakon Mantove, krenuli smo 30-ak kilometera južnije prema gradu pršuta i sira, naravno Parmi. Ulazeći u grad od strane rijeke Parme prvo ćete se susreti s Piazza della Pilota, koja će vam se činiti nedovršenom, što i jest. U prošlosti je služila za povezivanje s Kneževim dvorom, a danas se u njoj nalaze muzeji i galerije. Ako ste u Parmi morate pogledati i Duomo katedralu uz koju se nalazi i krstionica, tj Battistero toranj. Nakon toga preporučam vam da otiđite do Piazza Garibaldi i pogledate jedinstveni sunčani sat koji se nalazi odmah iza kipa Giuseppea Garibaldia, a poslije se uputite u bilo kojem smjeru u potragu za prosciutto di Parma i Parmigiano Reggiano. Ako nemate puno vremena naručite bruskete s pršutom i parmezanom, vjerujte nećete požaliti. 

I OBAVEZNO, popijte kavu u Italiju, a ako želite kavu s mlijekom normalne veličine kao kod nas, naručite Capuccino ;).

After Mantova, we went about 30 kilometers to the south towards the city of prosciutto and parmigiano, of course Parma. If you entering in the city from the river Parma you will first see the Piazza della Pilot, which will seem incomplete, and it is. In the past it was used to connect to the prince's palace, and today there are lots of museums and galleries. If you're in Parma, you have to look Duomo - cathedral, along which is a baptismal font - Battistero tower. Then I recommend you to go to Piazza Garibaldi and look at the unique sundial located just behind the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi. From Piazza Garibaldi you can go in any direction in search of prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano. If you do not have much time just order Bruschetta with prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano, believe me you will not regret.

And NECESSARILY, order coffee in Italy, and if you want a normal size latte, as in Croatia, just order Cappuccino;).

Do sljedećeg posta kada ću vam pisati o Cinque Terre i Genovi, ljubim vas...

Ttil next post when I will write you about Cinque Terre and Genova, kisses...

May favorites

Ciao dragi moji!!! Svibanjski favoriti su tu, makar je već sredina 6. mjeseca, ali većina njih je stvorena za ljeto tako da nije prekasno.

Ciao my dears!!! The May favorites are here, even if it is already middle of June, but most of them are created for summer, so it´s not too late.

  

Torbice – Primark

Prvo vam želim predstaviti svoje dvije nove ljepotice. Vidjeli ste ih već u postovima, ovdje i ovdje, a u svibnju sam ih nosila neprestano. Obje su kupljene u Beču u Primarku, a Primark je san svake žene, niske cijene, a izbor odjeće, cipela i modnih dodataka prati svjetske trendove. Ako se nađete u Beču, pravac Primark, a dobra vijest je da se uskoro otvara i u Grazu, bliže nama :).

Bags – Primark

  

First I want to introduce you two new beauties. You've seen them already in posts, here and here, and in May I wore them constantly. Both were purchased in Vienna in Primark, and Primark is the dream of every woman. Low costs and good selection of clothing, shoes and accessories that follows world trends. If you find yourself in Vienna, go direct to Primark, and the good news is that it will be soon open in Graz, closer to us :).

Maybelline COLORdrama – velvet lip pencil

Savršena ljetna boja na usnama. Obožavam ovakve kričave boje, osobito na usnama jer vam nikakav drugi make up uz njih nije potreban. Prvi put sam probala ovakve ˝debele˝ olovke za usta i oduševljena sam. Boja je postojana, a usne nisu isušene.

Maybelline COLORdrama – velvet lip pencil

The perfect summer color on the lips. I love this kind of flashy colors, especially on the lips because you don´t need other make-up. This the first time I using this kind of lip pencil and I love it. The color is stable and lips aren´t dry.

Avon glow bronzing pearls – warm

Ljeto nam je na vratima i sve mi želimo biti brončane, kao da nas je okupalo sunce. Ja već godinama koristim AVON bronzing perle i stvarno mi nije jasno kako se već prije nisu našle u favoritima. Nanosim ih Avonovom četkom za rumenilo koju imam od pamtivijeka. Mislim da je više nemaju u ponudi, ali ako naiđete na nju, preporučam da je nabavite, jer je do sada podnijela 5 godina pranja iz tjedna u tjedan i milijun padova.

Avon glow bronzing pearls – warm

The summer is at the door and all we want to be sunny bronze. I have been using Avon bronzing pearls for years and I really don´t understand how they didn´t already found in monthly favorites. I putting them with Avon brush blush that I have for years. I think it is no longer on offer, but if you find it, I recommend you acquire it, because it so durable.

Grunding epilator

Prvenstveno sam ovaj epilator uzela radi njegove boje (na taj način sam htjela kupiti i laptop, ali su me na sreću odgovorili) i nisam se razočarala. Ima dvije brzine i dolazi u paketu s četkicom za čišćenje, adapterom, nastavkom za brijanje te torbicom. Većina mojih prijateljica koristi britvicu jer ih epilator previše boli. I mene je boljelo u početku i jedno epiliranje mi je trajalo po 3 sata. Sada sam se već navikla, a dlačice mi rastu sporije i rijeđe, te mi je danas epiliranje 10 minuta posla po svakoj nozi. Vrijedi pretrpiti bol, koja i nije jako velika, za glatke noge koje ne morate brijate svaki drugi dan, osobito ljeti. Crvenilo nakon epiliranja spriječavam tako da noge odmah namažem s Nevenom masti, o  kojoj sam vam pisala ovdje.

Grunding epilator

I buy this epilator because of his color and I was not disappointed :). It has two speeds and comes with cleaning brush, adapter, shaving extension and purse. Most of my friends are using gillette. They said that shaving with epilator is too painfully. It was painful for me in begining and one shaving was lasting for 3 hours. Now I'm getting used to it, and hairs grow more slowly and today my shaving last for 10 minute. To prevent redness I use Marigold ointment after shaving, about which I wrote here.

Black with gold details

Ciao dragi moji! Za danas crni outfit sa zlatnim u glavnoj ulozi. I odmah da napomenem šorc nije prljav :) Nekada su ove Zarine traperice bile duge i cijele, a onda su jedno dosadno popodne postale kratke, izderane i sa smeđim mrljama, nastalim od izbjeljivača. Ono što podiže ovaj outfit i čini ga zanimljivim je zlatna ogrlica u tri dijela s plavim detaljem (svi već znate moju opsesiju s plavim prugicama i svime što podsjeća na more) s trendcy.com (klik na trendcy.com i tamo ste) stranice, koja promovira mlade dizajnere i njihove proizvode. Svaka pohvala za ideju, jer svi znamo da je najteže naći svoj ˝komadić pod suncem˝.

Ostavljam vas sa slikama s ˝Goričkog mora˝ iliti ga ˝Čiča˝ do sljedećeg posta u kojem ću vam predstaviti svoje svibanjske favorite, a onda slijede postovi iz ˝Bella Italia˝, a ulov iz Italije u obliku male crne torbe već vidite ;)

Do sljedećeg posta, ljubim vas...

Hello my dears! For today I present you black outfit with gold in the lead role. And no, my shorts aren´t dirty :) Once, these Zara jeans were long and complete, and then in one boring afternoon became short, ripped with brown spots emerged from the bleach. 

What raises this outfit and makes it interesting is the gold necklace in three parts with blue details (you all know my obsession with blue stripes and everything that reminiscent of the sea) from trendcy.com (click on trendcy.com and there you are) website, which promotes young designers and their products. Thumbs up for idea.

I leave you with pictures from ˝Gorica see˝ or simply from ˝Čiče˝ to the next post in which I will present you May favorites and then follow posts from ˝Bella Italia˝, and catch from Italy, in the form of a small black bag, you can see on photos ;)

Till next post, kisses...

Girl power

Ciao tutti :) Jučer sam se vratila iz prekrasne Italije, zemlje najbolje kave i hrane, što ste mogli vidjeti na mom facebook profilu, ovdje i na mom instagram profilu, ovdje. Ako me ne pratite, ne znam što čekate :) 

U ovom postu nosim majicu #girlpower za sve snažne žene u mom životu, a posebno za jednu koja i sada kada više nije tu, uvijek me gura naprijed i čupa iz svake gluposti koju napravim. Znate ono kada nekog tko vam je blizak, osoba kojoj ste mogli sve reći, više nema, ali znate da je ona uvijek s vama, negdje hoda uz vas i drži vas za ruku u svim situacijama. Ovu post posvećujem upravo jednoj takvoj osobi, jer ona je moj #girlpower, ona koja me vuče iz svake jame u koju padnem. Sve mi žene imamo svoju moć, moć da koordiniramo s tisuću poslova odjednom, moć da i u najgoroj životnoj situaciji hodamo uzdignute glavom i sa smješkom na licu. Ali ajmo tu svoju moć iskoristiti da pomognemo jedna drugoj i drugima, ajmo sve biti nečiji #girlpower.

Do sljedećeg posta, šaljem vam jednu snažnu pusu...

Ciao tutti :) Yesterday I returned from the beautiful Italy, the country of best coffee and food, as you could see on my facebook profile, here and on my instagram profile here. If you do not follow me, I do not know what are you waiting for :)

In this post I wear #girlpower t-shirt for all strong women in my life, especially for one who is no longer here, but she is always pushing me forward and pulls me out every nonsense that I do. We all have that one person who is not here anymore, but it always walks somewhere beside us and holding our hand in all situations. This post is for my friend, my #girlpower. All we women have our own power, the power to coordinate with a thousand things at once, the power that in the worst situation in life we walking around  with smile on our face. But let's take advantage of this power to help each other, let's all be someone #girlpower.

Till next post, I send you one power kiss...

Sunny days

Za sunčanu nedjelju ˝color block˝. Žute platforme i  tirkizna torbica na podlozi od trapera i obične crno-bijele majice. Jednostavno, a efektno. Primjetit ćete da mi je kosa tamnija. Odlučila sam se nakon godina ˝pituranja˝ vratiti u svoju prirodnu boju. Pronalaženje prave boje nije bilo jednostavno jer je već i moja mama zaboravila kakvu joj dijete ima boju kose :) Nakon što je Sanja (najbolja frizerka ikad, koja nikad ne skraćuje kosu više od onog koliko ti pokaže i koja me uvijek pita, jedno 10 puta, kada radim neku drastičnu promjenu, jesi sigurna???) obavila ˝pituranje˝ i riješila problem mojih ispucalih vrhova, iščupala sam sliku iz osnovne škole da bih se uvjerila da sad stvarno imam svoju prirodnu boju kosu. Svakoj ženi je bitno da pronađe frizera u kojeg može imati povjerenja, a ne da izađe van iz frizerskog salona i poslije proljeva Niagarine slapove, jer to se valjda svakoj ženi dogodilo barem jednom. Ja imam sreće da sam pronašla svoju Sanju koja je uz mene uz svaki eksperiment i koja, najbitnije, svaki eksperiment učini uspješnim. Što vi mislite o mojoj novoj boji kose? Očekujem vaše komentare ;)

Do sljedećeg posta, ljubim vas...

For sunny Sunday color block. Yellow platforms and turquoise purse with casual jeans and black-white sleeveless shirt. Simple and effective. You will notice that my hair is darker. I decided, after years of painting, to back to my natural color. Finding the right color was not simply because already even my mom forgot what color is my natural hair :) After Sanja (best hairdresser ever, which never shortens the hair more than she show you and she always ask me 10 times when I'm doing a drastic change, are you sure ???) conducted coloring and solved the problem of my split ends, I pulled a picture from primary school to be sure that this is really my natural hair.Each woman is important to find a hairdresser which can be trusted because Every woman at least once happened to visit the hairdresser ends in tears. I'm lucky that I found my Sanja who is with me through each experiment and each experiment, most important, is with Sanja successful. What do you think about my new hair color? I expect yours comments ;)

Black and white for night life

Za današnje polu oblačno jutro predstavljam vam jednu kombinaciju za izlazak. Ipak bliži se petak i subota, ali to vas ne treba spriječiti da i danas ne izađate, bar na čašu vina - proslavimo početak petka. Crne uske traperice, bijela prozirna košulja i sandale - koje su trend ove sezone i možete gdje vas volja, na večeru, degustaciju vina i nakon toga u izlazak do jutra. Slike su slikane na stanici Westbahnhof u Beču - U3, neobično  mjesto za slikati post, ali meni se baš nekako uklopilo. A gdje smo mi, taj put, dočekale sljedeće jutro? Na Swedenplatzu. Lokali poredani jedan do drugoga i u svakom je atmosfera predobra. Ako se nađete u Beču, štikle na nogu, fotka u podzemnoj i pravac Swedenplatz :)

Do sljedećeg posta, ljubim vas...

For today's cloudy morning (in Zagreb) I represent you night out combination. Friday and Saturday are close, but if you want to go out today at least for a glass of wine, why not, lets celebrate the start of Friday. Tight black jeans, white see-through blouse and sandals - which are trend this season and you can wherever you want, dinner, wine tasting and after you can go out, dancing until the morning. The pictures are photographed on the station Westbahnhof in Vienna - U3, unusual place to photograph post, but I love it. And where we were that time? In Swedenplatz. Bars, lined up next to each other with very good atmosphere. If you find yourself in Vienna, put on high heels, take photo in U-bahn and go dancing all night on Swedenplatz :)

Till next post, kisses...

Vienna I love you

Kao što se mogli pročitati u prošlom postu (ako niste pročitali ne znam što čekate :)) za vikend sam bila u Beču. U petak smo Vana i ja poharale Primark, a u subotu smo, naravno, morale prošetati nove stvari. Zaljubila sam se u ovu torbicu na prvi pogled. Mala, ali dovoljno velika za sve sitnice potrebne preko dana. Iskombinarala sam je s ˝boyfriend˝ trapericama, običnom bijelom majicom i mokasinama. Za mene, savršena kombinacija za šetnju najljepšim gradom na svijetu i ispijanje kave. Iskreno ovaj put sam razgledavanje Beča ostavila postrani i odlučila samo šetati i uživati izvan turističkih ˝in˝ mjesta, ali u Beču je to teško jer se na svakom uglu, u svakoj ulici nalazi neka povijesna znamenitost. 

Do idućeg posta, ljubim vas...

As you may have read in previous post (if you haven´t read I do not know what are you waiting :)) for the weekend I was in Vienna. On Friday Vana and I plagued Primark, and on Saturday, we have to present new things. I fell in love with this little bag. A small, but big enough for all the things that you need during the day. Boyfriend jeans, casual white t-shirt and loafers, perfect combination for walking around the most beautiful city in the world and drinking coffee.
