The Great Grays

#1 - I'm quite fond of wearing gray in spring (as previously demonstrated here and here).

#2 - Second hand has been my preferred way of shopping for several years now;
it's fun, inexpensive, sustainable, and from time to time you can find some real gems,
like this perfect little black backpack (just what I was looking for) for a few euros.

#3 - Thanks to Hold the Eggplant for saying some very nice stuff about me here.

The Meant-To-Be Bag

This bag and me, we were meant to be ...

I've been admiring the exquisite rubber handbags by bi.bi (a Croatian brand)
ever since I first stumbled upon them online.
When I finally visited Zagreb again last month,
I couldn't remember the name of the brand nor where their products could be purchased.
I was angry with myself at first for not having done my homework,
but then I told myself: "If it's really meant to be, it will be."
So I relaxed and almost forgot all about the bags.
On my last day in Zagreb, I was walking down the street
when I suddenly noticed a selection of beautiful black and white items in a shop window.
I went in and asked about the bags, describing them to the best of my ability ...
As it turned out, it was their designer I was talking to.
Long story short, it was obviously meant to be.

The Ease

Here's how getting dressed works for me these days (today's example):
I open up the wardrobe, grab a sweater and some pants,
mentally pair the ensemble with the right shoes and bag,
and all that's left for me to do is to put the items on various parts of my body
(which might even take up more time than the actual process of "composing" the outfit*).

The Springtime

Abundance of sunshine, sweater instead of a coat, and not a care in the world.

The Light

After a period of slightly depressing weather, today was a wonderful, sunlit day that brought along some spring vibes I've been yearning for and instantly uplifted my mood. At first I thought the strong sunlight and the shadows it cast would interfere with shooting these photos, but they turned out just right. I intentionally restrained myself from too much editing and left some photos uncropped, even skewed; these little "imperfections" made me smile.

P. S. Yes, this is a gray version of my black split front skirt (worn here). I learned that when you really like, want, and need an item, it might be a smart idea to get it in another color, too (or, in my case, in another non-color).

The Homage

Céline AW 2013/14 was stuck in my head, so I had to get it out of my system.

The Colors

This is me wearing colors (and attempting to be witty).

Winter has been nice to us so far - these days feel more like early spring, so my light coat is back in the game, along with a sweater that used to be my boyfriend's. I've been wanting a soft, just slightly oversized grey sweater since the beginning of fall; turns out a perfect one was sitting in his closet all along, and he actually wanted to get rid of it. I just love it when the stars align like this.

The Winter Edition

It's been cold and I'm bundling up ('cause there aren't many things as idiotic as bloggers sporting bare legs or wearing sandals outside when it's freezing).

Experimenting

Although I love my terrace and my usual photographer (obviously, since he also doubles as my boyfriend), it never hurts to shake things up and try something new once in a while. My mom shot these at her place (oh, that beautiful white wall!) and I think she did a great job.
