DeleteOh wow, dear! So much gorgeous you!! Your taste in fashion is so amazing, you know just what to pick that suits you and also expresses who you are. I could honestly leave a comment on each one but I think I better stick to my favorite two. And they are right next to each other as it happens :) #14 because you are so fantastic in those cool shorts, so wow, and #13 which was certainly the one for me tonight. You in that sexy dress and those beautiful legs, a winning look for sure. But yes certainly enjoyed every one of them to the fullest :)

Uvijek volim ovako na jednom mjestu vidjeti brdo različitih kombinacija i podsjetiti se na neke favorite, a ovdje definitivno moram još jednom istaknuti onu famoznu plavo-bijelu košuljicu u koju sam se zaljubila na prvi pogled :D

DeleteBome si nosila svašta nešta, ali uvijek lijepa i originalana! Posebno lajkam onu plavu haljinu i onu na točkice te onu "moju" rozu vintage iz Australije... ta mi je vrh i uvijek je volim vidjeti na tebi. Odlično nosiš kako kratke i uske, tako i šlampavije modele odjeće i to mi se sviđa kod tebe! :)
