Hello Ivana,
ReplyDeletelooks like a simple post, but this is great stuff! These are litte nice pics!!!
On the last pic, i can see that you wearing Heels for your daily shopping. I love that, cause this style shows always elegance. I know some friends of mine named this "Girlie-Stuff" and cant understand, why i put heels on, when i go shopping. I say then "...this is my style of feminity". And the next thing is: i LOVE wearing Heels!
Can you drive your car in heels? I have always flat shoes in my car, so i can chance to a comfy pair of shoes - at least for driving a car.
Bye.
