Back at it again

How to start a post after a one year gap?

Not easy.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences for the past year and a lot has changed. I haven't 'blogged' about any of it because I needed time to adjust myself, from new friends, new love to new surroundings.

I think it's best to just recap a few things because what I'm going to be writting about from now on is going to be a little different than before.

For starters, I got into collge, architecture, which was somewhat of a dream. And it's been tough. I'd even say it's kind of a love-hate relationship, where I adore what I do but it's just so challenging at times. But again, it's beautiful and I got to meet some great new people. College might be the number one reason I haven't been writting or posting pics. It's a whole new world and it's filled of responsibilities, chores, assignments...

But I missed this, a place of some kind of escape from reality, where this virtual reality lets me think about trivial things like trends and spaces for a bit.

A lot of people asked me about this blog and why I stopped and I always said I didn't fully stop and it was just a pause. And it was. WAS.

I won't be writting about things that happened in the past year, although there would be a lot to write about in detail. So here's the short version (and some cute pics)-

The summer was great, we got to chill a lot after our final exams. I got to see Zurich with D and Venice, met some amazing new people while traveling. Then college started and I really really like it, even when there were sleepless nights and dozens of coffee mugs piling up on my desk, I can say it was worth it and still is.

New Year I spent on the lake Bled with my love G and some friends. It was a beatiful experience which also created a new chapter in my life called AirBNB. I'm probably the last person on Earth to discover it, but it opened a door to some new ideas on traveling.

And now it's 2016 and there are really big things going on. With college being a great part of my life now, most of my posts will probably, at some point, center on spaces and interiors or just things that put emphasys on creativity. Who read this blog before knows how much I love everything there is to be about clothes, styles and posting pics about what I wore, but there just isn't enough time for me to do some of those things anymore.

A project for college

So I'm back at this again, this therapy of mine, writting and posting pictures, with the same idea as before- what spikes my interest, I'll write about. If you like it- read it, or just scroll to see the pics. If not, doesn't matter.

Have a great weekend and I really can't wait to write some more. xx

pictures are in order from: Venice, Graz, Lošinj, Zurich, Rovinj, Bled and Zagreb

Sweet tooth

I have always said that spring brings out the best of Zagreb. The cutest festivals are always taking place after Easter, and in that spirit, a pastries festival took place a week ago.

Honestly, the amount of cakes and wine back there... It was just too much for me hahah I tried to stay humble and opted for mascarpone brownies with berries at the end (summer is like, a few days away), but there was just sooo many goodies I just wanted to taste.

I wish I went at the evening though, they had a massive pinata fest and there were a lot of wine stands so it could I guess that was fun. The decoration was cute, lots of pixie lights and balloons- super sweet. I love the whole pink thing, it sets you back a bit from all the everyday-dullness.

The whole thing took place in a park in the center, but I think it wasn't advertised much because very little people knew about it. That's the thing I hate about this kinds of happenings- people have no clue about what's going on around the city and everyone's bored at the same time.

It was worth the calories tbh, I'd do it again any time. Next stop is the Street Food Festival that's coming soon. What's up with these food festivals lately, like no, I don't want to see and eat awesome food just a month before the beach season hits me.

Anyway, keep up for more foodie fests and my more of my random rants. I'm working on several posts at the same time right now, so it's gonna be a busy month, xx

Days spent in cinnamon scented small heavens

There are thousands of memes of students exploding under pressure I could relate to right now. It feels like playing dodgeball and you're to only target. That's why there's a lack of posts lately, I don't have time even to surf Tumblr to find inspiration or to even have thoughts that aren't school-related.
But some good actually came out of it.

Well lately I've been studying literally all day- and doing that at home is almost impossible. There's my little brother who's all noisy and wants to play all the time, Mum with a million chores that just happen to be done right at the moment... So the only solution is to camp with books somewhere outside. Library's always a good option, but I don't feel comfortable in those surroundings. So I find studying in calm coffee places a lot more productive. So after visiting dozens of places, I've re-visited a place I've forgotten about.
Velvet caffee is a two-part place in the center. It's a bit hidden in a passage, so it's safe from the city noise. It's almost always full so you're lucky to get a seat. So I'll start with interior. It's been done by an artist and you can see that in every little detail. It's currently in a festive decor and really amazingly done. The ambient is cozy, dim lightning and a mix of orange and cinnamon in the air. I'm loving the part where it's like an old library, with books you can read while chilling. Plus the menus are glued into old classics, like Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet (how cute is that).

So I've been spending hours and hours drinking tea and coffee (best cappuccino in town) over my books, and time really flew by. Food is good and the offer is daily based so you know it's fresh.
Really a small heaven... And that's what you need when you're on your edge with your nerves.

Visit the place, it's prefect for cold, festive days, to just snuggle up with some bagels and tea. Hope I'll be able to write soon, xx
