Grey

Inspiration of the day: Jože Šajn's so called 'Vešča' woman with grey hair.

Major thanks to my hairdresser Nathan Snayger from Stevo salon Ljubljana, who made some magic dying my hair from natural brown to light grey. I'm very pleased with the result!

Spring in #BPOTD

I was wondering, should I wear brighter colors in spring? No, it's not 'Nez'! I'm just one of those cats who swear by the quote: "I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker shade."

The painting of Joze Sajn I chose for this post represents the process. Spring is a process, right? The nature is waking up, it's time for Fashion Weeks, new wardrobe, makeup and fresh changes. And i'm somehow still in all that forever-dark-fall-mode.

I was very lucky to receive an amazing tee and an envelope bag of a Slovene designer B. Polanec! He's known for his couture hats, bird prints and for collection of #BPOTD T-shirts which are very popular right now! When you get one, make sure to hashtag it on social media :)
He also worked with ALLAROUNDEVE and was featured in Eclectic magazine.

This tee must have been made for me! Best of both worlds, black+spring theme print.

I'm wearing:

B.Polanec T-shirt

B. Polanec bag

H&M skirt

H&M trench coat

H&M sandals

Spring is here: 5 product makeup

Finally spring! Well, I'm not really a girly girl, I still stand for black and dark makeup. But spring is also time to start fresh, isn't it?

Joze Sajn's painting inspired me to create this fresh minimalist spring makeup:

How to recreate this look

1. Apply a thin layer of foundation to correct major imperfections.
2. Fill in your brows using two different shades in your hair color - apply lighter shade where your brow starts and darker shade to the tail of your brow. Let them be thick and bushy. Groom them up.
3. Use a liquid eyeliner to draw a delicate line at the roots of your upper lashes starting in the middle of your eye all the way out. You may also draw a tiny flick. You want it to optically thicken your lashes, but nothing too bold. I didn't use any mascara because I wanted the focus to be on bushy brows and 'au natural' face.
4. Apply a pearly gold-white eye shadow in the inner corners of your eyes. Just a tiny bit. It will brighten up your eyes.
5. Finish the look with a my-lips-but-better lipstick. I recommend using a creamy one without any shimmer. That's it! Simple but effective.

Products I used:

Ben Nye HD matte creme foundation

Urban Decay Naked Basics shades Naked 2 and Faint (for brows)

Kryolan eyeshadow Gold glow

Kryolan black cake eyeliner

MUA round lipstick shade 2

New year's eve makeup

I can't wait for the occasions like new year's eve because I can experiment with makeup how I want.

I adore the figure of 'vešča'. They always wear massive lashes! So I did a makeup look that will compliment my blue eyes and enhance the lashes. Great for party!

I did't use any false ones because mine are quite long by themselves. My trick: Essence I <3 Extreme mascara works like magic (I'm giving out the mascara-You can enter to win it HERE)!

I must tell you that I'm not a pro, but I hope to become one ASAP. :)

I used these products in order below:

Kryolan- primer Under Base

Ben Nye- HD Matte creme foundation

Catrice- Camouflage creme concealer

Mac- Paint pot in soft ochre

Ben Nye- HD Media Pro Creme highlighter

Kiko- eyeshadow Infinity used for brows

Kryolan- eyeshadows in Oak, AB 95, Sunset G, Gold Glow (also in my giveaway)

Kryolan- Cake ey eliner in black

Essence- I <3 Extreme mascara (in my giveaway!)

MUA- pressed powder in 04 used as bronzer

MUA- blush 03

Catrice- lipstick Matte about Pink

Artdeco- lip liner in 92

Artdeco- Magic Fix lipstick fixer and mattifier

Kryolan- Translucent powder

I hope you like the makeup and hopefully it will inspire you to do something on your own. The possibilities are endless!

I also wish you an amazing new year of 2014 full of joy, happiness, laughter, success, possibilities, passion, love, luck and health.

Xx,

Less is more, back to basics

Joze Sajn tried to represent an elegant young lady. Her energy comes from inner self, because she's confident. She's happy and beautiful. The simplicity and minimalism of the painting were the inspiration for my makeup and outfit.

Back to basics.

It's Christmas time, finally. I cannot wait for the Christmas lunch, whole family gathered together, Christmas songs, and the spirit when opening the presents. I'd like to wish each of you, my lovely readers, to enjoy it as much as possible! It's not about presents themselves, it's about the spirit! You know, money can't buy the happiness.

Think about creating the Christmas-time magic. When preparing the presents include a piece of you in it, be original. It's so nice, when someone tries really hard and thinks about you, rather than giving you a voucher or even some money.

December is a beautiful month if you see through the cloud of materialism.

All you need is love. It's a basic human need.

Marry Christmas!

Recycled

I decided to 'renovate' my blog. Since I'm a huge art lover and a lucky granddaughter of an amazing artist Joze Sajn, I decided to take it to another level.

I've always admired his creations. The paintings inspire me. So, I connected my world, my fashion Wonderland with his world of paintings.

I'll post about fashion and beauty like before, but all the posts will be inspired by one of Sajn's paintings.

This time I picked this one:

I was inspired by this painting. Old bags and hungry mouths represent the hungry nation, everybody is craving more. Everyone wants a new bag, new pair of trousers, new blouse and of course (what is the most important) a new iPhone to be as cool as your friends.

I don't agree. Rocking it in my mums old boots, faux leather pants which I swapped with a friend, a sweater made by my nanny and in my mum's coat from the time she was in highschool!

They bring a special energy and of course a good feeling, when your friend asks you where you bought this gorgeous coat and you tell her 'Well it's 30 years old and I still know how to work it in 2013'.

So ladies (and gentlemen), READY SET GO, run to your grannies and discover all the unused old clothes that you can wear!

Have a nice lazy sunday,
