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.
