NEW hair + outfit

Woohoo, I changed my hair again. My previous grey dye got washed out pretty fast so I was kinda brunette for some weeks. And it was truly boring. You know, brown hair don't match many eyeshadows, black brows, some lipsticks and it's not as bold as I want me to look. I love monochrome. So I decided for a change again. I always trust my hair to Viki's Place where their hairdresser Sabina always transforms me into something really special.

I wanted to have black roots and so it was, plus grey-blue ends. I'm more than happy with the result. I think it makes my blue eyes stand out and gives me that witchy vibe. LOVIN! Plus, my hair is super renewed thanks to a special treatment called Olaplex that is used by many celebs including Kardashians. It's really soft now. And yes, it's messy because I love messy hair.

As you see my hair is getting blonder and I cannot wait to dye it black again. But there is literally no time. I'm studying for my matura exams (the essay was fine). I'll remind you all to stay well hydrated, especially this month, it's Hydration Month held by Equa (water bottles company). I agreed to become their ambassador as I strongly believe drinking water is essential and that I can be a good role model at drinking water. :) I drink at least 2L of filtered water every day. When I don't I notice huge mood swings, dizziness, dull skin, bloating, poor concentration. It's so easy to stay hydrated but we somehow forgot about that and rather search for some magical health pills not realizing it's closer than we think. Have a glass of water now!

So, after you drank your glass of water.. Here's a quick outfit post that I wore last week, you can see that I'm a bit lazy with my glamorous makeup, but I think that's what spring brings. Feeling fresh and motivated!

PLUS, I have a discount code for you: AgnesHydration10 for 10% off via www.myequa.com.

Have you already seen the new Artdeco's Summer Collection 2015 'Here comes the sun'? It's awesome! The collection consists of following products:

Art Couture Nail Lacquer (3 shades) NEW & Basic

•Sunshine Eyeshadow (4 shades) -NEW& Limited

•Sunshine Lip Gloss (2 shades) –NEW & Limited

•KholKajal (1 shade) –NEW & Limited

•Bronzing Powder Compact (2 shades) –NEW packaging & Limited

•Sunshine Blush (1 shade) –NEW design & Limited

•Sunshine Glow Fluid (1 shade) –NEW & Limited

•Spray on Leg Foundation (3 shades) -Limited

I especially love those 3 eyeshadows, they're PERFECT if you want that bronzy light smokey look. They aren't very pigmented but they create a beautiful colored shadow. Easily blended together. Long lasting (tested!).

You can put the white one ("Blazing sun” no.26) on top of your lid, under eyebrows or even as highlighter, looks really gorgeous thanks to its pearly finish. The brown one ("Sand beach” no.21) is perfect for the ones who want to use just one shadow to create a sleek bronzy summer eye look, it's not too dark. And the pink one ("Sun bath” no..31) works amazing with blue or green eyes because of the color contrast.

Personally, I use it to blend out the brown shadow to warm it up a bit. I also tried to use it as a blush and it's super nice. You should check them out, I think they're versatile and a great choice for summer days. They're easy to work with so you can just pack them on and blend it all with one brush. They retail for around 9 EUR each (available in Muller or via Moja kozmetika- CLICK).

Which one is your favourite? I'm in love with the brown one!

Improve your style!

To be honest, I've always disliked UGG boots, maybe because of the fact every basic b*tch in Ljubljana owns at least a pair. Those kind of trends are stupid to me, because love for them doesn't come from genuine adoration but from a wish to show off money and to be 'it girl'. It shows a lack of creativity, taste, confidence. If they weren't a trend I maybe would get a pair.

I've been thinking about my attitude to trends and popular pieces. I don't want to follow them. Yes. I'd rather be a trendsetter myself. I refuse to buy a pair of white Converse or an Armani plastic bag for example. But is it even good for me to limit myself like that, does it even show any kind of power or qualities? Sometimes you profit the most when you overcome your limits and give the thing you would normally never chose a go! That way you can really discover new exciting hobbies, meet interesting people, improve your style. 

It's spring so I obviously  cannot wear boots anymore, so I decided to get a pair of UGG sandals. It was a challenge to combine it in my style, but I'm really happy to own them now. I discovered another side of me that can get a bit more preppy and romantic. First, they're so comfortable and easy to walk in, but I also think they would look great with most of my clothes, I just have to combine it right. I think I did a good job, what do you think?

Do you like them? What are the things you would never ever wear? Comment below, I'm more than interested to know!

I also wanted to share my recent discovery with you. While searching for my prom dress I came across a cute web store Sherry London. They sell cocktail party dresses, evening and prom dresses plus much more. All the productions that you need in their website are custom made, which could let you get the goods suitable. I wish I could attend more evening events and be wearing some of the dresses I found dozens of gorgeous dresses that remind me of the latest Rodarte FW 15/16 collection on NYFW (photo below).

I much admit there is a fine line between looking cheap and expensive, but I believe it's a matter of how you combine the dress for example. The dress I like the most is the third blue one. It's such a shame being a Barbie has a bad sound to it, it should be the opposite - it's a lot of hard work, talent and a good eye to look like an expensive one. I've been loving vintage dresses lately, especially the ones by Gianni Versace from the 90s and these dresses below seem like a modern and cheaper version you can get for your special occasion.

Here are some of my favourites:

 Dresses from left:

Mini strapless baby blue dress

A-line sweetheart dress

Two-piece cocktail dress

Backless spaghetti dress

"www.sherrylondon.co.uk Bridesmaid is an embodiment of dignity, elegance and fashion. We combine the view of dignity and elegance with the east graceful and restrained spirit, designing its dresses of unique, showing originality in the skill of draping tailor and using the first rate imported fabrics"

Inspired by Rodarte:

I wish you all a successful week and good luck to the ones who are taking matura essay on Tuesday, we'll rock it!

My Prom

I decided to share these personal photos with you because I believe I hadn't posted a photo of my family before. It was an amazing evening with my loved ones. I'm aware of the fact I'm a lucky girl to have such an amazing and inspiring family and Gal, my ex-schoolmate who danced with me. I had so much fun I couldn't stop laughing. Reality :)

It saddens me a little when I realize I'm growing and that we won't be together for long and that I'll leave Gimnazija Bežigrad in 2 months. But on the other side I'm looking forward to experiencing new things.

My family - I wanted us to be dressed in monochrome! #stylishmoments

I had a privilege to wear a dress just off the runway. It's a transparent silk & linen dress by Janja Videc Clothing that was presented at Ljubljana Fashion week last Wednesday. It's my dream dress. Not only I think it looks super gorgeous but I also felt comfortable and confident in it, which is really important. Since I'm not a classic girl I still wanted to keep a detail that wasn't expected. So I put on those white chunky plastic boots, a stone necklace from Janja Videc's new collection and minimal evening makeup.

Father's dance

I did my mum's makeup, she's such a youthful lady. I'm glad I have her smile. :)

Wishing you a fabulous week!

DAY 1

I sadly missed the first day of #LJFW, it's hard to manage school and work as a blogger.

DAY 2

I was wearing an iridescent mermaid outfit by a British designer duo Dry Cry:

Dry Cry dress (click to buy!)

Dry Cry Marshallow Kimono Mac (click to buy!)

My favourite collection of the day was HAIDUK by Milica Vukadinovic. The show was on point- strong beat, fierce masculine walk, killer look. The collection was inspired by rebellious street boys of upper class who set their own rules. Fierce, bold, mysterious, attractive.

No surprise, this show was by far one of the best ones!

DAY 3

We with Ajda Podgoršek were wearing a new collection of Quirky Me:

Purple biker jacket (get here)

Holographic skirt (get here)

PVC clear jacket (get here)

2-piece dress (get here)

Fur bag (get here)

Petja Zorec rocked it with a super wearable but still with a modern aesthetic twist. The collection is inspired by a life circle, from birth to death, flowers. Sensitive, detailed, soft. I especially liked how the outfits were paired with Teva x Petja Zorec amazing new socks collection and Teva Original sandals. I would wear it all.

Ivan Rocco never disappoints. His new collection called My Giovanni contains only few staple pieces, it's oriented to a courageous woman who isn't afraid to wear unusual material combinations. How chic!

Day 4

I was wearing a cut out dress by Janja Videc Clothing - Clothing Alchemy collection (Get it here)!

Wednesday was crazy good! First I attended NTF students' shows. There were two designers that always take my breath away, Sara Valenci and Janja Videc.

Sara Valenci: collection VASILIJ Hi-Fi

No need to ramble, I think her designs speak themselves. Her colour combinations seem a bit odd but act in her favour as this is the main point- to be bold. Sara also won Elle prize for the best collection. Congratulations!

Janja Videc

The collection plays with vision of a modern witch. The materials are unusually natural, from wool, silk to linen. She's famous for her own cuts, which are always sharp, innovative and minimalist. Her colour palette varies within monochrome shades, but this time she incorporated also some earthy browns.

Janja Videc is one of my favourite Slovenian designers. I was wearing one of her dresses for my friend's prom and let me reveal a secret, I'll be wearing one of her designs from the new collection today on my prom! Can you guess which one?

Janja won a prize of Ljubljana Fashion week for the best collection and was awarded a solo show in next season! Congratulations!

Akultura - collection AKULTURA ART. Voluminous collection that was inspired by painting. Slightly androgynous and sporty, I bet the jackets will be a hit!

Photo: Robert Ribič and Klemen Razinger

I think it was an amazing event. Even though Slovenian market is small and demands simple, classic, comfortable and rather sporty, wearable designs there were some for all. From extreme Matic Veler pieces, chic and feminine PRINCIP, minimalist Janja Videc, business SENS to sporty Akultura or KICK by Olimpija. It's a shame some cannot take what they're given and criticize the event because the budget isn't comparable to luxurious and gigantic events like Paris Fashion Week. I think it's crucial to have an opportunity like this to see what this market has to offer, because at the end, Slovenian designers easily compared internationally. Don't spend all your money for Zara's crappy China made clothes, now you don't have any excuse more for not buying Slovenian designs.

Hugs and kisses,

This week has been the most amazing week this year so far. I'm realizing I've made a huge progress at blogging and I've been noticed by a few very influential people. No worries, I'll remain down to earth. :) I believe it's important to value yourself; by saying "I'm not so special", "Chill, I'm really average" or any of those craps you're downgrading yourself.

This post wasn't planned, Roberto caught me in city centre and we spontaneously took some photos. Again in this dress, right? Well, I refuse to be one of those bloggers who wear a new outfit each day. I believe it's important to know how to mix and match, not only to shop till you drop. It's always a challenge and I'm loving it!

You can see how I styled the dress in a winter posts below:
