You are too funny, dear, and insightful as ever :)
Deleteit does make sense, probably the reason why I smile so is my photographer. Thank you very much for your sweet words.
DeleteYou look so pretty in all of your outfits here, Ivana and my favourite looks from you are this one with striped jacket (the weather was perfect at that day, it reminds me summer a little bit) and your wedding outfit which is just WOW, you looked like a milion dollars in this dress and I totally love your hairstyle, dear. What's more, you live in beautiful place, so I'm amazed by the background on the each photo :)

DeleteUvijek volim ovako vidjeti sve kombinacije na hrpi, mislim da bi moj favorit ipak na kraju bila ona sa martama, ta mi je baš nekako posebno draga :)

DeleteStvarno zanimljiv mjesec pun nekih novih lijepih mjesta i odličnih kombinacija, meni su nekako najviše prirasle srcu ova s mornarskom jaknicom i ona s novog mosta, ne mogu se nagledati tih tajica :)
