The Beret. 

Who would have thought? Haven't seen these babies since I was a little girl skipping to primary school. When I first noticed the trend, I was really not into it. But as always, trends just grow on you and I was sucked into it. I found the cutest grey one with tiny little stars from Aceessorize. Thank god hats are back on trend, I love wearing them in the winter but I hate looking like a little kid. It's gonna be so easy this winter! I have been watching Gossip Girl again when I get free time, so don't blame me for turning into Blair Waldorf from time to time. 

The Watch.

I couldn't help it. The pink velvet just got to me. It's the dream watch in my eyes. My favourite watch I own is a silver and rose gold Cluse baby, so to see my favourite brand collaborating with a famous blogger and brining out a velvet strap... YES PLEASE! Talking about velvet, if you're wondering how my bag turned from velvet to leather overnight... it didn't. This is my friend Justina's bag who took these beautiful photos. I made her create a blog so make sure you check it out!

Last month Nokia took me to Ibiza for a few days of fun and amazing food.
I have visited Ibiza once before, 2 weeks earlier actually and got to see a completely different side to it than what I saw before. The first time I went, we stayed at Ibiza Rocks which is a very party orientated hotel with pool parties happening everyday. So as you can imagine me and my sister were surrounded by party people, loud music and a lot of alcohol. This time it was very active, we had a lot of things going on, we visited the Old Town, had a boat trip and checked out Pacha and Amnesia VIP style. I have to say those experiences were unforgettable. It made me fall in love with Ibiza and I now think I could even live there. I used to never understand people that used to tell me Ibiza is amazing. 
My comment used to be 'Why? It's just for partying'. But actually it's far from it. Yes that's what it's known for around the world, but it's actually an amazing place, very beautiful and calm. And they have the most amazing Sangria, that I have to recreate for Christmas!

BOOT SEASON!
 My favourite. I hate the cold. But I do love my Stuart Weitzman boots. These ones especially. They just go with everything and anything. You can probably see I haven't posted here for a while. I am really struggling to motivate myself to post here. I think the main issue has to be the fact I shoot everything with my phone now. I am not the biggest fan of phone pictures on a blog so that's why I stayed a little quite on here. I was also interested to see if my views will die down but wow guys, thank you so much for coming back and it made me feel so guilty for not posting! Half of you are still here, everyday, checking in! I appreciate that more than you know and I promise I am back now. 
I am also on Youtube so if you like watching instead of reading you can subscribe here

Remember when I did a post on not liking Milan? Well, my thoughts about that city have now been changed. I got invited to fly out to Milan for one night with IQOS for their Vogue Talents party. Many young creatives designed beautiful accessories for the IQOS device and the winners were being announced at the party. We had such a great night with the team, followed by dinner and then a few of us went out to party at the Cavalli club which was so much fun! But let's talk about the device.

I was actually approached by an IQOS representative at The Apartment during LFW. I don't smoke often, maybe only when I am at a party or having a glass of wine with some friends but I was interested to find out about this device because it didn't seem like just another electronic cigarette.  It took over 430 scientists and experts to create IQOS and 2.9 million people have switched from cigarettes to IQOS globally. I was interested to hear more mainly because I knew how many young people and especially women smoke cigarettes in Lithuania, I had to hear more about this device! So the magic is that the tobacco is not burned during smoking but heated inside the device. It tastes just like tobacco but there is no smoke, no ash and less smell. 

So after finding out all of this information the girls kindly gifted me the device but when I got home I just put it away and forgot about it because I didn't feel the need to smoke for many weeks. I was then contacted by them recently and they invited me out to Milan. I was so excited to go because I finally managed to learn how to use the device and we found out much more about IQOS.

It's hard to not be weather confused when September arrives to London. In the morning we get a very cold breeze and by noon it's sunny and it feels like late summer. So most of the time I end up wearing the wrong thing on the wrong day. But not to worry. I tend to wear shorts,playsuits and skirts with sweaters (don't forget a t-shirt underneath) and then my favourites are sweater dresses with a pair of boots on these strange days. I absolutely love this outfit. An old Zara jumper (It might be from a charity shop, I stole it from my sister). And then a h&m jumpsuit with a black pair of boots. Now let's talk about the boots. Since I posted these pictures I've had so many people asking me about Inch2 shoes. They're a Latvian brand specialising in the most stunning handmade leather shoes. But there is a big BUT. Most of them seem very uncomfortable, the reviews are very mixed and people don't know what to believe. I have two pairs. One is a summer shoe, which is pretty comfortable and I can wear it without wanting to die for the day. But these boots in my pictures are the real killers. The first time I wore them - 6 blisters in 15mins. That was a record for me haha. But I put them on again a few weeks ago and they seemed better. And then after wearing them for a bit, they seem even better now. So maybe I just have to break them up and soften the leather a little. This is not an ideal situation because when you spend over €200 on a pair of shoes, you don't want to spend any time 'playing' with them to make them wearable. So I don't know, you will have to give me a little more time to see what I fully think about them. I also think they sadly might be too big for my skinny legs.

You guys were not surprised by me not liking Milan at all on my Instagram when I went last month. Me and Arnas decided to spend our 5th year anniversary in Milan, explore, eat and sleep for 24 hours. It was a very quick trip but honestly that was enough. I just wasn't impressed by what Milan has to offer. There are only a few main bits to see and visit in the central area, the main being the Duomo. The whole vibe and places around it are stunning and I am sad we were too late to go in on the first day, and the que was over 1 hour long on the second day. I couldn't even imagine standing in the 34 degree heat for that long so I decided I will have to come back to Milan once more in my life but it won't be soon unless it's for work. As soon as you walk 10mins away from the Duomo, Milan looks like eastern Europe to me. Lithuania, Poland, Russia. The buildings are plain and boring and there is nothing to see. We did come across one stunning neighbourhood on the last day but had no time to explore sadly. People sometimes say you have to visit some 'hidden gems' to fall in love with Milan, but I think love for anything shouldn't be forced. I fell in love with Barcelona the second I got there, it warmed my heart, felt like home. Paris makes you feel incredible, New York makes you want to live there for a year and imagine you're part of the Gossip Girl crew. I am happy I crossed Milan off my list, but it wouldn't be a place I would recommend to visit if you want to see something new and impressive. I did have an amazing lasagne though in a small little restaurant but cannot recall the name of it or where it was located. However if you do visit, you must have drinks and pizza at Obica or one of the other bars on top of  Rinascente(a department store) right next to Duomo.

We stayed at the Radisson Blu hotel. I was really impressed by the rooms, pool, breakfast and the hotel itself.

I wanted to name this post 'Double Denim' again, but throughout the years I had three posts on that subject, one was even named 'Triple Denim' haha. You can see them here, here and here. This time let's focus on underwear as outerwear. We all know fashion and trends get crazier every single year, and of course we've all seen bralettes being used as tops these days. I thought I'd give it a go. Can't say I was 100% comfortable though. I felt like I had to cover myself with this stunning denim jacket from Zara. (All items expect the bralette are Zara btw). I am sure if I had a strong and fit body I would be walking around with a bralette all the time but hopefully next summer. Isn't that what all the lazy girls say?  So, just quickly, do you think double denim is still on trend and I can keep wearing it like I have for the past 6 years? Or am I just making up my own trend because I like denim so much?

I try not to talk about self love, confidence and all of that business too much but maybe I should. Maybe I can inspire some girls to look at themselves and start loving what they see in the mirror at least a little bit. I am not going to lie and say I love what I see. Self love is a never ending journey. I don't think there is anyone in this world that can say 'I'm perfect'. Even if they look it, everyone has things they don't like about themselves. I went through a stage when I was about 15-16 where I thought I was really pretty and I got a little too vain. I was just young and enjoying the attention I got in school. But when you get to a certain age you start looking at yourself differently, you realise you are different and you don't need a ton of orange foundation, extensions and fake eyelashes to look good and feel good. You find your unique features and what makes you stand out. I cannot say that I truly love myself. I don't. I go into hardcore depression mode at least once a month thinking 'Oh my god why is my face so weird', 'why is my nose like that', 'why can't I be pretty?'. Thank god for my kind, funny and friendly personality, that kind of blocks out the fact I look like an alien sometimes. Haha. I got to a point where I decided I don't want to be known for being good looking, I want to be known for being smart, stylish, inspirational and so many other things. And not because I look a certain way. I can't lie though, I do follow a lot of girls who are just perfect looking and cry from the inside while scrolling through their images. But we have to remind our selves, looks are not everything. I know a few girls who are absolutely stunning but their personalities are so horrible that you can't even see the beauty through their personality. And another reminder : Instagram is full of photoshop and surgeries. I wish I knew how to love myself completely. I did love myself today though while shooting this outfit. I felt like the real girl boss that I always wanted to be haha. Well actually maybe I am a girl boss since I work for myself and support myself completely but yeah, I felt good. That's why I love fashion. It can make you feel amazing.

Happy Friday my dear readers. 
Farfetch got in touch recently and asked me to style one of their Balmain pieces on my blog. I can't tell you how long it took me to choose something. I am quite indecisive as it is and being given the option of over 50 items will make my brain twist a little. I wasn't really sure what I wanted or needed but ever since I saw these trainers they just stayed there at the back of my mind. If you have followed me for  long time you will probably realise I love shoes. I have an obsession and I probably buy a pair every week, I just can't help it and I am not ashamed hehe. I always try to buy cool shoes, because I love wearing a plain outfit and shoes that stand out. So I just had to have these orange and black Balmain trainers. Trainers can be warn all year round with anything you want really so I think investing in a pair of designer trainers is a much better idea than a pair of for example sandals. (Although I do have espadrilles that I wear like 5 times a year). But I just think trainers are the clever choice because you will get a lot of wear out of them and they won't have to sit in your wardrobe and collect dust. I am not gonna lie, I'm not the biggest fan of orange when it comes to clothes but how cool do these trainers actually look?
