15 again

 I've been having a ''blog silence'' for over a month now. Not even sorry. I've had lots of things on my mind, I've had summer vacation,  I've been abroad, got back to work and started working like crazy to get some money to my savings account ( I used all my savings in Italy and I feel anxious when I don't have anything ''in case of emergency''-money)  which elevated my stress levels to maximum... I haven't found any room for blogging in my life. It has been a refreshing ''blogging vacation'', but now I'm back in the action! I have few posts waiting for you guys, so keep alert!

I'm starting off with something that is basically my teenage years in a solid object.

Converse All Stars.

I don't know about you, but I used to wear nothing but them when I was 14 until I was about 16. I remember having a pair made out of pvc-ish material in white ( I got them from Venezuela and they were my dearest pair), and when I finally let them go, they were more like grayish. I remember sitting in school corridors with my friends at 8th. grade , doodling and writing to each others' kicks. Good old times. I remember when I really got into girlish style, I told someone I'm never wearing a pair of All Stars ever again. At least not old and stained ones.

Lately I've had a slightdesire for my old favorites. With thick sole. Then, one day when I was casually strolling around Venice I saw these at AW display. On sale. That's when I knew. I could not leave without them.

Aren't they wonderful? The thick soles make them stand out from the crowd of black Converse shoes ( while giving a midget like me much wanted extra centimeters). Whenever I'm wearing these I feel like a 15 year-old again (in a good way though, not in the ''I want to dye my hair with all the color of rainbow and wear nothing but hoodies all year''- kinda way)! I'm not going to draw on these though.

Do you have some nostalgic pieces that remind you of your oh-so-lovely teenage years whenever you dig them out of your closet?

All the photos above are taken on my Venice trip, you'll be seeing a lot that very soon ;3

Ladylike

Dress- Reverse

Cardigan- Gina Tricot

Shoes-  Vivienne Westwood

I've been waiting for a chance to wear this formal- ish dress, and last weekend I stopped by at my stepbrother's confirmation party looking like this! There's a funny story behind this certain dress; I ordered Unif dress from Karmaloop and waited for a small eternity to get it because the delivery company lost it somewhere between customs and my apartment, even though they did try to deliver it once. When after 4 phone calls and several days of waiting I finally received the package, I found this Reverse dress. Sorry some Emily from Canada, this was supposed to be yours! Karmaloop was nice enough to offer me full refund and I got to keep this, since they had already ran out of my size of the dress I originally wanted. I consider myself lucky, I could have gotten a horrible rag but instead I ended with this beauty, practically for free!

Comfort zone

Beanie- Rotting Fresh

Top- Killstar

Lace top- Vero Moda

Cardigan- Gina Tricot

Shoes- Misu

Necklace- Mango

Backbag- Lost Mannequin

After a long day at work, it's nice to have casual hangout with greatest friends in the world, in the most casual and comfortable clothes you own.  This is one of my current favorite ''comfort outfits'', for those days when I really don't feel like worrying too much. Killstar tops are great for that, perfect length, nice fabric and rad prints! Going to stock up on these babes! 

Even though I thought about keeping this strictly as an outfit post, I have to share this. How often you get to drink from a rifle full of vodka?? From Russia with looove.

Venice tips?

pictures from Google

I'm traveling to Venice in less than a month and I'm already so excited I'm having hard time going to work every morning. I loved Rome last year and during the wintery months I missed Italy like every second day, so one day I had some extra money on my bank account so I extempore booked flights to Venice.

Now I'm asking you, my dear readers and fellow travel enthusiasts, possible locals or whoever might know.

  What to do and where to go? Where to shop all the coolest stuff in Venice? 

I've done some research, but I want to hear your tips !

Places nearby Venice are fine too, we're staying for over week so we have plenty of time. Also, tips for finding nice coffee shops near Rialto bridge (I'm staying in Hotel Graspo de Ua, which I think is near Rialto) are appreciated, I might be in for the kill if I don't get my daily dose of caffeine in the mornings.

Oh yeah, and if you know the best place for gelato in town, do share your wisdom. I just love that stuff.
