Work outfit & happiness boutique

Hello everyone! First, seeending you a BIG hug from HOLLAND! I love it here, I can't believe I am falling in love with this country each time I come here more and more... Well, I will talk about those feelings later in my after-roadtrip-posts, haha!

About this look... 

This is my "casual" everyday work outfit, I work with makeup and cosmetics (as a student) and I need something comfortable and still stylish - but not too much! 

Wearing my casual blouse, you can never go wrong with white blouse & classic black maxi skirt or jeans. 

I also added some new BLING BLING from Happiness boutique (click!) which is a German online shop with jewelry!

I think this look is classy and proper for many different opportunities - but still as usual, I can't be without bling bling or any red lipstick or curls, gotta follow your own flow...

Wish you cosy night & prepare for whole bunch of outfit & beauty posts when I return from the trip! I bought some amazing goodies... Bye, bye hard working money!

Tomorrow traveling from Ede, Holland - Dusseldorf, Germany!

The secrets of Blogging

Guten tag! I'm writing this all the way from Berlin (3/8 cities I'm gonna visit on trip!) and I must say, the energy here is amazing! I'm taking outfit photos every day and I really can't wait to show it all to you and to tell you what was happening on trip! (also shopping!)

Friday - off to Hamburg, let me know what to see there if you know it!

A lot of bloggers did this tag and I decided that if I was reading my blog (haha!) I wanted to know those things too! I read those tags on a lot of Slovenian blogs and I really think we have so many things in common!

1. When did you start blogging and why?

I started this blog in 4.1.2012. The date has nothing to do with me, well till now! :)

Why? I was reading a lot of blogs, daily. And then I thought - I could have mine too! And because I'm crazy enough - I started it. But of course, I didn't have any idea how big this can be - I only wanted to inspire other people, to share my outfits and ideas and that's pretty much it.

I'm not a model or designer, I'm not a writer. But blog is offering me everything at once and I am the boss haha, that is pretty amazing right? That you can do it all - like you want!

2. How many people in "real life" know about your blog?

To be honest (well, I'm always honest on my blog!) - nobody. First month it was only my secret. But then I had to tell about it to my boyfriend and family - I needed a photographer! And then... Somehow, my friends found out too. 

Because you never know how people are going to react, you keep it for yourself. At the beginning. But I'm still not sure - what are we afraid of? Being judged? 

Now I could not be happier that I decided to make my own blog, it opened so many options to me! Knowing leading Slovenian cosmetics brands in person, all those social contacts & friends I made... But it was all a lot of work, ideas and TIME too. 

3. What are your favourite posts to read?

I love reading outfits post and of course cosmetics/makeup posts. I always try to post articles, I would read too if I didn't know my blog.

5. Which posts are you most proud of?

Well... All posts are taking my time and ideas... Which I never ran out of! So, I would say - I don't have my "favourite" post. But there are some that turned out to be quite popular - and I didn't have any idea how people will react to them.

Something different (click!), Dress and the city (click!), Essence and Catrice event (click!), Back from the seaside (click!), Outfit and lipstick (click!)

6. What advice would you give to future 

bloggers?

1. Start a blog, because you want it and you want to enjoy it - share ideas and inspire people. Not because you want to get some free things.

2. Choose a content - what you will write about and please write about things you like and love. Readers can feel if you are faking it. Sorry, but they do. 

3. Don't care about what people say. This is probably the most important, there will be people that will love your blog and people which enjoy hurting other people and others which can't wait to judge you. But... The secret is that if you love it - then do it.

4. Be different. Of course other blogs will inspire you, but don't write the same posts and everything - be yourself.

5. Be true to youself. Don't fake your style, don't write things only because you know people will like it - it's all about being true and being you. We don't need hundred blogs which are pretty much the same.

I hope I didn't scare anyone, but really if you want to blog - blog. That's the only good advice I can give you.

Some "future" bloggers, contacted me about how I got readers, how I'm handling to post almost everyday and have a student job, study, and teach Zumba - it's simple, if you want something - you won't let anything/anyone to stop you from doing that.

Blog has become a big part of me and you can't imagine how happy I am when I read all the comments everyday and getting feedback from my readers - this is the best part of it :)

Love you, 

Katja

Romwe jumpsuit in the city

DAY D IS HERE!

Finally our big trip is here! Today we are leaving Slovenia for 3 weeks and we will be all around Europe. 

I will tell you more on my instagram account and I hope I will have some time to post! If not, expect TSUNAMI of posts when I return. I really can't wait to see all those amazing cities and make some outfit posts there! 

We will be visiting 8 different cities, some are capitals, well - sleeping in 8 cities, but visiting more! 

I love traveling with my man. It's my favourite time in the world. I love traveling, but seeing all those amazing cultures, cities, speak different languages... with him, is totally different. I feel so safe, we can go and do what we want, we are so good at traveling together. If you are 24/7 with one person, you must really get along with them. THAAAANKS god we like to see and do the same things. Speak and meet locals, see museums, eat good junk food and sleep little and see as much as possible. 

I am so excited! I will be visiting some cities for the first time, but some for the 2d,3d... But I love them so much, so I am even more excited, because I missed them so much <333

Okay, it's too exited not to share this with you.

1. Telč (Czech republic) 

Small town (google it) it is soooo pretty and cosy, can't wait to relax there a little.

2. Prague (Czech republik)

I was in Prague 2 times already - BUT, I love this city so much and I missed it, so we decided to visit it again (because is on the way hah). Can't wait to spend few days there!

3. Berlin (Germany)

I was here 3 times already, 2 with my love. And this is OUR city. We totally love it and we will be staying there at the most amazing location, so I am really looking forward to stay at the most amazing flat there <3 And those late night walks around Berlin... So cosy!

4. Hamburg (Germany)

It will my first time here in this city, so I am so excited to see it. I heard that is dreamy, north Venice?! :)

5. Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

My 3rd time in this city and country, but I love it so much. The people are so kind and Amsterdam is truly one of my TOP 5 cities in the world! I gotta meet Agnes Krown there too, can't wait to see that babe!

6. Solingen, Dusseldorf, Koln (Germany)

My boyfriend's grandparents live here and that's why we will stay here for few days and visit Dusseldorf and Koln probably too. I feel so "comfy" in Dusseldorf, also a great city!

7. Frankfurt (Germany)

My looooove. Seriously, Frankfurt was a big surprise when I first visited it. Okay, I had the privilege to stay in a gorgeous apartment there with the best view! But still... Frankfurt is like bigger Ljubljana with "downtown", I totally love the architecture and energy. So happy that I will visit my "second german home" again! And we will celebrate my boyfriend's aunt big b-day there! Party mood in Frankfurt ON!

8. Regensburg (Germany)

Something new again, I heard that there is amazing castle and that city is old so we will discover history there!

Last year we did 2500 km, this year around 3500 kilometers... We are making bigger and bigger plans each summer.

And oh yes, we will travel with my car! I LOVE this. Do you even know how fun it is to drive across Germany? Ferraris and Lambos are driving with you and you can drive as fast as you want. (mostly) 

We have our cd's prepared and usb's so...

Wish us luck! :)

Bourjois sweet kiss gloss review & Maxfactor smoky eye drama kit

Danes je čas za... BOURJOIS!

Na njihovih policah se zadnje čase mudi ceeeela vrsta novih lip glossov. In ker sem bila nad prejšnjimi noro navdušena (več o tem tukaj, klik!) sem od teh pričakovala enako. Kvaliteto. Obstojnost. Pigmentacijo.

Pigmentacija, obstojnost?

Izbrala sem si odtenka 04 in 06, ker sta edini barvi ki ju zadnje čase nosim. Vijolično-rjava in prava močna rdeča.

Pigmentacija je super. Ni matte, zato ni "odlična", vendar pa dajo zelo veliko barve. Meni je všeč, ker spodaj ne potrebujem šminke. 

Obstojnost definitivno ne traja 10 ur. Vendar (seveda odvisno koliko se je, pije vmes... ali dodate lip liner) okoli 4-5 ur maksimum, vsaj pri meni.

Kot vidite na slikah je pigmentacija kar zadovoljiva, pri rdečem odtenku se to še bolj opazi. Definitivno pa bi v obeh primerih dodala lip liner, saj se potem lip gloss nič ne razmaže in veliko lepše pride :)

Maxfactor smoky eye drama kit 

Priznam, da sem glede senčil pri Maxfactorju povsem nepoučena. Čeprav je bila moja prva mini paletka prav njihova, daaaaleč nazaj in bila je roza barve. Baje je bilo to kul. Hahah :)

Pigmentacija?

Na moje presenečenje odlična. Bleščice, svetlikajoče senčke... Meni zelo všečne. Tiste, ki imate rajši matte odtenke, vam te senčke verjetno ne bodo ravno po godu...

Obstojnost?

Popolnoma klasična. Nič presenetljivega, vendar s primerjem - ostanejo res lepo cel dan. 

Embalaža in pakiranje

Po resnici, senčke se mi zdijo premajhne in malo težko prideš do nekaterih s čopičem zraven, brez da bi dobil na čopič še odtenek druge. Vendar... Jim to oprostim. Je praktična embalaža za na potovanje, pigmentacija je odlična, zato jim je oproščeno.

"Poswatchat" mi nažalost ni uspelo (paletke), ker se senčke tako svetijo, da preprosto nisem uspela ujeti pravega odtenka. 

Kritika kozmetike L'amorage

Ta objava je kritika. Kritika, ki je nastala na pobudo slovenskih blogerk, da ljudi opozorimo na prevare, ki se dogajajo v svetu kozmetike. Izhaja iz mojega stališča, zato vas prosim če pod komentarji napišete dodatne informacije, če jih imate o tem podjetju itd.

1. O tej kozmetiki sem uspela bolj strokovno izvedeti le,

- da prihaja iz Izraela

- da so saloni po vsem svetu

- da deluje le tako, da si znanci med seboj povejo za to

- da vas povabijo na "nego obraza" potem pa vam vse skupaj preizkusijo prodati

- da so "kozmetičarke" velikokrat neusposobljene punce

Pred tedni je mami dobila povabilo na nego obraza. Zastonj. Ob tem sem se seveda malo zamislila in se ji pridružila.

Salon se nahaja v BTC-ju in že ko stopiš vanj je vse zelo sterilo, lepo urejeno in daje občutek kot da se tam dogaja nekaj pomembnega, posebnega.

Nato, vas postrežejo punce ki so zelo lepo oblečene, v visokih petah (pretiranih) in lepo močno namazane. Zahtevajo da poveste ime, priimek skratka podatke in da podpišete nekakšno pogodbo da se ta nega snema.

1. Obrazložitev in cena

Punca nama je obrazložila sestavine kozmetike (biserni prah, kaviar, hialuronska kislina...) in nama povedala kako oh in sploh super je kozmetika. Nato pa je povedala ceno. 1670 eur za 10 izdelkov  (čistilni gel, kremice, serum...).

2. Nega obraza

Po šoku sledi nega obraza. Že to nam vlije pričakovanja da mora biti kozmetika super. VENDAR, NAREDI SE LE NA POLOVICI OBRAZA. Zato, da drugo polovico naredi stranka sama in vidi da je to preprosto za uporabo. Zdi se mi, da je zelo lahko "prepričati" ženske ki si skoraj nikoli ne vzamejo 1 uro za nego obraza doma, da ta kozmetika deluje. Ker ko se nekdo z njihovo kožo ukvarja 2 uri in jih masira, seveda kapilare in gubice do neke mere izginejo.

3. Naredijo plan "plačevanja" 1.670 eur.

Ker je danes poseben dan, prav vi lahko dobite vse 200 eur ceneje! Uau! Poleg tega pa dobite še 300 eur "vredno" UV lučko & nege obraza in preglede. 

Khm, 10 krem za še vedno predragih 1.470 eur in lučka ki se jo verjetno dobi za veliko manj & preglede kjer ti zmerijo vlažost kože itd... Je res vredno?

Kako so delovale kreme?

Ne bom lagala, mami se je koža res lepo popravila v tisti 1 uri, je pa res da sama nikoli ne uporablja maske, pilinge in si ne masira gubic - zato sem razumela zakaj takšna presenetljiva razlika. 

Ne rečem da so kreme slabe, vendar vsekakor pa lahko potrdim - da je cena preeeeeeviiisoookaaaa.

Kako vse skupaj zaključijo?

Na list ti napišejo ogromno možnosti plačevanja. 600 eur zdaj, potem ostalo ali pa lahko tudi 60 eur zdaj pa 2 leti odplačuješ izdelke ki jih boš porabil v 6 mesecih... Ahhh, na koncu te skoraj "prosijo" da kupiš. "Se res nebi dalo nič dogovoriti?"

Ko sem mladi dami povedala, da se ljudje za skoraj 1500 eur nakup ne odločajo v trenutku in da imajo čuden sistem, da je lahko nakup le na licu mesta, brez da imaš čas za premislek... Skratka čudno. Resnično mislim, da kozmetika ni vredna tega denarja. Veliko se da narediti ročno, z masažo, z pravimi kremami ki stanejo tudi do 30 eur. 

Ne pustite si, da bi drugi upravljali z vašim denarjem. Denar je vaš dokler ga imate v rokah in ne imeti slabe vesti, ker nečemu niste rekli "DA". 

Katja

P.s. Se opravičujem, če sem koga z objavo užalila, ali pa dela tam - vendar resnično se mi zdi ideja super psihološko izpeljana, vendar želim pomagati ženskam, da ne zapravljajo denarja za stvari ki so precenjene. 

H&M trousers

And here it is! Finally my simple look with those amazing H&M pants!

The story goes back to the trip we made with 4 Slovenian beauty bloggers, we spend 2 wonderful days full of chat and cosmetics on the coast and we went shopping a little...

I really liked those since I saw them but... those pants are really special. You can look funny in them if they are not your style. But all the girls said "Katja you gotta have them, they are totally your style!". 

And here they are. Really simple look, I can not wait to wear them a little different...

Like I said many times - lately I'm only sleeping, working, creating new Zumba choreography... My life is so busy! But the "end" is near, haha!

Less than a week left to our trip, I really can't wait! <333

& congrats to my love & his wonderful team for winning their first FILM AWARD yesterday, so proud <3

Yves Saint Laurent lipstick - Ultimate beige 03

Hello my wonderful readers! It's time to present you my new YSL lipstick - this was my dream lipstick since I was 13. 

I'm a little late with this post, it was planned in Juny, but like I always say : too many ideas, too little time.

The story goes way back... when I was 13!

Me and my friend Anja loved makeup ever since and we always admired those YSL lipsticks, they were so expensive (still are) and we always dreamed about having one! But what would 13 year old girl do with this perfect lipstick? I didn't even know how to use lip liner perfectly and I only wore kajal on my eyes, I didn't know how to put mascara on without being all black around eyes, haha.

So... We were only buying Essence, Catrice and Miss Sporty (remember?) makeup - because we were kids and spending so much money on makeup was "no go". 

This spring I made some money with blog and decided to reward myself with this lipstick - because I remember how I always wanted to have it and it meant "a success" for me. 

So... this is my little story. So interesting how life goes. I always wanted to have Collistar lip glosses too when I was 17, but they were too expensive for me (I was only in high school of course without work) and now... The company gives me those things for my work. So we could say, my little dreams came true? 0:)

About lipstick Ultimate beige 03 YSL

I picked the famous "nude brown" shade, this one is amazing. The formula is great, doesn't dry your lips and the shade is amazing. It is long lasting, but so much as some matte lipstick of course. Ahhh... I'm totally in love.

What do you think? :)

P.S. Essence lip liner : Soft berry is perfect with this lipstick. Also wearing it on photo.
