Summer is coming, and it’s almost time for beach-themed outfits, shorts and little dresses, and of course inevitable accessories, like hats and sunglasses. Teens love summer because it's that time of the year when casual and popular outfits can be seen on almost everyone. A great summer look doesn’t take much effort and time. A few useful tips and tricks will help you look stylish and attractive in no time. And who knows who you might run into this summer? If you meet your first summer love this year, you’ll want to look your best.

1. White jeans are super popular this season. For a more casual look, pair white jeans or white bell bottoms with a tank top or regular t-shirt. When it comes to footwear, ballerina shoes or white sneakers are a good combination. If you want a more stylish and attractive look, ripped, tight white skinny jeans paired with a black top and black sandals will leave a great impression.
2. Even though you should avoid too much makeup during the summer heat, everyday neutral makeup that’s easy to wear is the right option for summer days. Too much makeup won’t make you feel comfortable. There’s nothing worse than melting and having super sticky makeup running down your face. Moisturize your face regularly and use light tones. Avoid too much sparkle and shine.
3. Not only are leggings comfortable but they can be very fashionable. The best thing about leggings is that you can combine them with so many other clothes and you can wear them almost everywhere. Great summer combination includes: flowers print leggings, a black top, sandals and large black purse. For a summer, this piece of clothes is a must.
4. Brief dresses are amazing for a long walk on beaches. They’re comfortable, trendy and can be found in different prints. More importantly, they're perfect for any occasion. Floral dresses will especially look great on you during summer. When looking for the right one for summer, go with more light colors. It'll go perfectly with your summer skin color. For a more elegant look, pair your dress with bright ballerina flats, a nice watch, a bracelet and a small bag.

5. Swimsuits are part of everyone’s summer wardrobe. The most important thing to keep in mind while shopping for swimsuits is your body type. Find the silhouette that best fits your figure. From curvier frames to athletic body types, there’s something for everyone. Use straps and ties to fit the suit to your body. Don’t go for a smaller size, because swimsuits expand when they become wet.
6. Two most important summer accessories for both girls and boys are sunglasses and hats. You may want to get ladies sunnies and check out some of the best polarized sunglasses for men at Humps as well for that timeless, classy look. For a beach look, go with colorful sunglass frames and match them with your bathing suit. Don’t spend too much money on sunglasses though, because they’re easily lost, especially during summer. Always wear hats, because they’ll protect your face from the bright summer sun. Wear them on the beach, when you go outside for a walk or to the store. The most popular ones are straw hats.
7. Gladiator sandals are very common summer wardrobe among teenagers. Sandals are suitable for summer days because feet are sweating less in sandals. During summer, wear open-toed shoes or sandals to allow air to reach your feet. If you want to look stylish and at the same time and feel confident and comfortable in what you wear, pair gladiator sandals with denim shorts, a shirt and shoulder bag.
8. During colder summer evenings, a slouchy sweater is a beautiful piece for any day to day outfit. The great thing about slouchy sweaters is that you can wear them on their own. They’re usually paired with jeans, leggings or even skirt. Oversized slouchy sweaters are especially interesting.
9. Summer bags come in different prints and sizes. Search online for different designs and models. If you like, you can create personalized bags and totes. Bags, purses and other accessories with custom printed labels are distinctive and unique.
10. If there is one thing extremely popular amongst the teens this summer, it’s the hipster look. The main rule is to dress unconventionally and go “outside of the box." There are very attractive hipster outfit ideas that drive attention. Girls usually wear ripped denim shorts, hats, chokers, shirt tied around the waist and black or brown boots. For boys, typical hipster outfit includes tousled hair, plaid shirt, skinny pants, and platform black shoes. However, hipster look is not for everyone. While teens love it, not everyone would feel comfortable in that.

  Domaći kozmetički brend AURA nas na svakih par meseci iznenadi novom linijom proizvoda. Nakon fantistične Geisha kolekcije, na drogerijskim policama se odnedavno našla njihova nova, limitirana kolekcija hajlajtera pod nazivom City Lights. Prava poslastica za sve ljubitelje hajlajtera, ova kolekcija sadrži 5 proizvoda i nudi 3 različita finiša. Tu je strobing paleta sa 3 različite nijanse hajlajtera u prahu, dve tečne baze za šminku sjajne završnice (Strobing Cream) i dva hajlajtera u stiku (Strobing Stick). Ovi poslednji su mi se posebno dopali, te ću sa vama najpre podeliti svoje utiske o njima. 

  AURA City Lights Strobing Stick odnosno hajlajter u stiku dolazi u dve nijanse: bronzanoj, pod nazivom Street Vibe i bisernoj, pod nazivom Night Life. Zanimljivo je da mi se Street Vibe nijansa više dopala i da je češće koristim, a očekivala sam da će mi Night Life više odgovarati. Tekstura ovih proizvoda je kremasta, pigmentacija odlična, lako se nanose i sami po sebi lepo fiksiraju. Mogu se aplicirati direktno ili pak prstima, četkicom ili beauty blenderom. Ovi hajlajteri se mogu koristiti samostalno, a mogu poslužiti i kao baza za druge hajlajtere. U svom sastavu sadrže kakao puter, vitamin E i ulje semenki grožđa te hidriraju kožu i čine je mekom. Daju suptilan sjaj i svež i blistav izgled vašem tenu. Oba se podjednako dobro ponašaju na licu i dugo traju bez promene. Cena: 759,00RSD

  AURA City Lights Strobing Cream kao i Strobing Stick iz ove kolekcije dolazi u nijansama Street Vibe i Night Life. Dok je prva nijansa nude varijanta, druga je biserna. U pitanju su tečni proizvodi lagane kremaste teksture sa zanimljivom holographic završnicom. Ovi hajlajteri se mogu koristiti na više načina. Pre svega, mogu se  koristiti kao prajmer odnosno baza za šminku. Zatim, možete ih mešati sa tečnim puderom kako bi dobile efekat zdravog sjaja kože lica. Naravno, mogu se koristiti kao tečni iluminator, i konačno kao baza za hajlajter u prahu. Ukoliko ste ljubitelj suptilne šminke ovi multifunkcionalni hajlajteri su odličan izbor. Cena: 729,00RSD

  AURA City Lights Strobing Palette je paleta hajlajtera u prahu visokog sjaja. Sastoji se iz 3 nijanse pogodne za svaki ten: jedne šampanjac nijanse, jedne rozikaste i jedne bronzane. Šampanjac nijansa je suptilna zlatasta nijansa, koja se u zavisnosti od željenog efekta može nadograđivati za jači hajlajt na licu. Rozikasta nijansa se može koristiti i kao rumenilo, a bronzana za konturisanje. Sve 3 nijanse se pak mogu koristiti i kao senke. U pitanju je dakle još jedan multifunkcionalni proizvod. Sve 3 nijanse se lako nanose, lepo blendaju i savršeno stapaju sa tenom. Što se tiče kvaliteta, postojonasti i ponašanja na licu apsolutno sve pohvale za ovu paletu. Cena: 935,00RSD

  Ovom kolekcijom, kvalitetom ali i dizajnom proizvoda AURA je još jednom pokazala da može stajati rame uz rame sa mnogim svetskim kozmetičkim brendovima. City Lights je odličan izbor za sve ljubitelje ležernog i zdravog izgleda, ali i za one koji preferiraju jaču šminku, za one koji ne mogu zamisliti svoju svakodnevnu makeup rutinu bez dobrog hajlajtera ali i one koji ih koriste samo u specijalnim prilikama. Bez obzira kojoj od ovih grupa pripadate sigurna sam da ćete u ovoj kolekciji naći idealan proizvod za sebe. Zato trk do omiljene drogerije! Ako ste pak ljubtelj online kupovine posetite njihov oficijelni sajt - www.aura.co.rs i AURA proizvodi stićiće na vašu adresu. Dobra vest je da je na porudžbine čiji iznos prelazi 1000RSD dostava besplatna!

 U današnjem postu ponovo se družite sa saradnicom bloga Anom Ubavić. Za ovo javljanje Ana je odabrala veoma zanimljivu temu -  Izazovi matriksa u piluli, na koju vam preporučuje 5 naslova koje morati pročitati.

* * *

  Eksplozija boja i narkotična utopija u književnoj šumi tema je kojom se danas bavimo kroz 5 knjiga, koje bi valjalo pročitati na ovu temu. Za početak, gledajte na ovaj post kao na jednu vrstu ekskurzije, divlju vožnju kovitlacima duha i emocija. Pripremam vam žanrovski bogat niz dela za razbibrigu ili razmišljanje- od ljubavnih drama, trilera, fantastike do horora. Čitaćete  o klasicima, čitaćete nove naslove, nove teme, stare razbibrige, umolomke i misterije. Neko će mi svakako zameriti što nešto nisam navela, ali ovo su moje omiljene knjige, i pišem o njima iz ugla poetski nastrojenog laika. Prvo, razlozi zašto je ovih nekoliko knjiga ušlo u sadašnji odabir je što svaka od njih zapravo predstavlja određenu kreaciju stvarnosti, koja ima sve elemente utopije, pozitivne ili negativne ali utopije. Utopija kao fenomen svakako zabrinjava modernog čoveka, posebno ona u kojoj bi bez obzira na tekovine moderne civilizacije bila ugrožena njegova sloboda mišljenja, činjenja i govora.

1. VRLI NOVI SVET - Oldos Haksli

  U slučaju da niste naišli na ovu knjigu mnogo ste propustili ali ima nade, da se nadoknaditi. Oldos Haksli je neko ko je znao kakve dubine nosi živa umetnost i često je eksperimentisao vrlo ciljano sa različitim opijatima da bi njegov poetski izraz bio još uverljiviji i nosio dah druge dimenzije. Ova knjiga je veliki mentalni izazov za svakog ko želi da sebe testira, da se otvori za nove mogućnosti i da reevaluira svet, koji poznaje. Pozicija blagorodnog divljaka u svetu, koji je podeljen i lišen ljudskosti i bliskosti nije nimalo laka. On ostaje otvoren za prirodu i emocije, ali ona koju voli je deo drugog sveta, sveta koji je drukčiji od njegovog. Paradigma blagorodnog divljaka je višestruko primenjiva na stvarnost oko nas. Svet stvoren u epruveti, podeljen po klasama, ljudi kao deo masovne produkcije i jedan britki, nadasve talentovani blagorodni divljak u svetu spisateljstva čekaju vas onog momenta kad zaronite u ovo štivo.

2. GOLI RUČAK - Vilijam Barouz

  „Kao i obično, pisac vidi samog sebe kako čita ogledalu.“ – kaže Barouz. Svet iza igle, ili svet razgolićen iglom može i tako da se kaže, živo svedočanstvo narkotične stvarnosti u kojoj je sve moguće i sve vrlo živo. Uključujući prikaze psihodelične gotovo paralelne stvarnosti pisac dospeva do samog grotla životne jame jednog narkomana i odsustva životnog smisla sem na drogama. Ovo je britki, duboki i krajnje osvežavajući roman sastavljen od više vinjeta(kratkih zapisa) o životu narkomana Vilijama Lija, koje je i sam pisac pisao pod dejstvom različitih vrsta narkotika. Vilijam Barouz spada u američku beat generaciju, književni i spiritualni pokret nastao šezdesetih godina, čiji su deo bili i veliki Keruak i Ginzberg.  Pokret se zalagao za oslobađanje od književne forme, seksualno oslobođenje, istraživali su spiritualnost i često eksperimentisali sa narkoticima. Sam roman Goli ručak je bio često sporan, ali je ipak ugledao svetlost dana prvo u Parizu, a zatim i u Americi. Ako očekujete klasičan roman što će reći uvod, razrada, zaključak ovde to nećete naći ali ćete naći nešto drukčije od onoga što inače čitate.

3. PRIČA O OBEZGLAVLJENOM INOSENSIJU ONESTU - Huan Oktavio Prens

  Do koje mere je čovek spreman da zaroni u idolatriju? Ova knjiga prikazuje povest običnog čoveka u diktatorskom režimu. Čovek, koji pristaje na ulogu žrtve, na ulogu čudovišta da bi ispunio svoju dužnost građanina je metafora svakog društvenog režima, koji ljude pretvara u podanike i životinje. Inosensije Onesto predstavlja suočavanje jednog autoritarnog društva sa samim sobom. Nosi izvesnu monstruoznost u celom svom biću, koje iako lišeno ljudskosti i dalje ima ljudske emocije i želju da živi, voli ali mu to nije omogućeno. Režim u kom je on stvoren je režim, koji sa oduševljenjem reaguje na njegovu spremnost da služi, koji podržava i sve ono ružno u njemu jer to ružno je dokaz njegovog podaništva.

 4. DOSTOEVSKY TRIP - Vladimir Sorokin

  Vladimir Sorokin je neko ko je u Rusiji bio zabranjivan, čije su knjige spaljivane javno na Crvenom trgu, ko je bio bojkotovan i čija se književna vrednost poriče. On provocira, govori oštro o ruskom duhu, baca u lice društvenom moralu sve one zakulisne radnje o kojima svi znaju ali ćute. U Rusiji je osuđivan kao pisac pornografskih sadržaja dok je širom sveta dobijao nagrade za najbolje romane. Zbirka priča Dostoevsky trip je zbirka od više dužih priča, od kojih se svaka bavi nekim domenom poznate stvarnosti od hrane do narkotika. Sama knjiga nosi naslov po jednoj od priča u kojoj se govori o tome kako bi bilo iskusiti knjigu u piluli bez iskustva čitanja, odnosno bukvalno je proživeti od korice do korice. Ova priča daje potpuniji prikaz zanetosti umetnošću i dokaze da živimo u konzumerskoj eri, koja briše pojam identiteta jedinke.

5. GENERATION P - Viktor Peljevin

  Post - ratna tišina, sivilo i jad na ulicama Moskve navelo je mlade ljude da tragaju tražeći smisao. U tome ne biraju način samo da prežive. Generation P je Generacija Pepsi, deo kulture u kojoj se bezglavo živi, još bezglavije kupuje. Šta su najbitniji elementi ove knjige?

Naićićete na ratni vihor- beda,suze, jad i jedan student koji prevazilazi vremenski jaz i upoznaje drevne bogove, koji mu otvaraju potpuno novu dimenziju iskustva. Sjajni Peljevin je novina na ruskom književnom nebu klasične književnosti- vrlo brutalan, jak. Iskren, divno slika život iz drugog ugla- paralelnog univerzuma. Samo napred i uhvatite se u koštac sa ovom knjigom, možda vas i iznenadi ako niste čuli za nju.

  Planning your wedding is exciting but also requires a great deal of planning and work to ensure that you have everything organized and set up just how you want it. One of the important tasks to remember to complete is to register for wedding gifts. Many couples choose to register for a variety of gifts that they want to have so that their guests can purchase something that the couple needs or wants. This article will help future newlyweds figure out what to add to their wedding registry as it can be a challenge to get started, especially if you have already been living on your own for a period of time. Try to register for items that you need and would like to have but you may not necessarily want to purchase them yourself.

Here are some ideas:

  1.  Household items. Often times registries consist of items that are needed to create a home together. Necessities such as pots, pans, plates, silverware, towels, and bedding are all typical items that couples add to their wedding registry. It is smart to add items for your home to your wedding registry. Having new sheets, towels, and other items that correspond with one another will make for a well coordinated and styled home.    

  2.  Luggage. Many couples who marry later on in life may already have household items and do not need to register for them. There are many other things that a couple may need over time and it is important to think about things that you will need in the future as well as now. If you are planning to go on a honeymoon, will you have proper luggage to pack your belongings for your vacation? If not, consider registering for a nice set of luggage that you will have for a long period of time. 

  3. Roof rack storage. If you and your soon-to-be spouse enjoy taking road trips or you plan to do so in the future, consider the amount of storage you have in your current vehicle. If you are in need of additional space, store your cargo in one of these roof racks . These can be great items to add to a wedding registry as you will be thankful you did. As your family grows over the years, you will need additional storage to transport belongings and having a roof rack will be a relief.  

  4.  Honeymoon excursions. If you do not need to register for household items, some couples are choosing to register for activities, meals, or aspects of their honeymoon. Many couples feel that it is appropriate to ask guests to assist in helping them pay for their honeymoon. This type of registry will list activities, meals, and potential excursions that the couple can go on. If you choose to, you can purchase one of these and that aspect of their honeymoon will be sponsored by you. While this is somewhat of a controversial type of registry because it is not traditional, it is a unique way for couples to save money and have a great honeymoon. 

  5. Money or gift cards. Some couples prefer to receive money or gift cards. While it is not traditional to blatantly ask for this as a gift, many couples really prefer to get money or a gift card as they can then choose to purchase what they need or want.

 It's been a while since my last outfit post. Finally, here's the new one with my latest items from SAMMYDRESS. Lately I'm totally obsessed with embroidery and when I saw this blouse on SAMMYDRESS I fell in love with it immediately. And check out this Prada inspired bag! It's gorgeous, isn't it? I love it! And the last item from my SAMMYDRESS order are these tassel earrings. I rarely wear earrings but I like tassels so I had to have these. Enjoy the pics!

 The feet are in a pretty tough situation during the whole period of pregnancy, as they have to handle at least twice the regular weight of your body, because of the newly formed baby in your womb. Due to that, the body tends to supply additional fluids and blood to the feet to keep them in optimal condition, and because of that, the feet grow in size.

  This may seem a little surprising and unbelievable, but there is evidence to prove that. According to a study conducted by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeries (ACFAS), the feet may grow to an extra half of the full size permanently, so obviously, old shoes won’t fit. However, if you are reading this article to get some directions and tips for getting new ones, then you’ve come to the right place! Below are some tips that are recommended by worldwide famous doctors and podiatrists as for finding the right shoes, so that your pregnancy period will pass with a breeze!

Tip #1: Say no to heels!

  There’s also an exclamation mark in the end, so you can say that this is important. Heels exert additional force on your feet because they lift your body from the ground, so feel a little pity for your feet and get shoes without heels, they will be extremely grateful to you for that. And now you must be wondering what I should get, which brings us to our next tip.

Tip #2: Get some airy shoes

  Everyone and everything needs space to breathe, and that applies to your feet as well. Sweat due to tight and closed shoes can result in various infections, which is not good for your feet, especially during pregnancy. Get some shoes that are comfortable and spacious, like Sandals.

Tip #3: Try finding shoes with rubber soles

  This may sound a little stupid, but shoes with rubber soles are a great ally in your everyday journeys during pregnancy. Why? Because rubber soles are great shock absorbers, and considering the weight gain, they can be very helpful while walking on hard surfaces where you can easily generate friction.

Tip #4: Buy shoes at least 2 times larger than your current size

  The tip title says it all, but I’ll explain a little bit with the logic. As stated above, your feet grow to an extra half of the current size of your feet. This will save frequent trips to the shopping mall as your feet will continue to grow until the end of the pregnancy period.
That is all! If you expected more, then I’m afraid to say there isn’t. However, these tips are more than enough to get the shoes you want for the time of your life, so if you found these tips helpful, be sure to share this article with other pregnant friends and family members so that they can follow them as well! Hope you enjoyed reading it!

  Kada sam započela projekat Godinu Dana Maskiranja u saradnji sa 7th Heaven Srbija nisam očekivala da ću ovoliko uživati u istom i s nestrpljenjem čekati svaki novi mesec i testiranje nove maskice iz njihove ponude. Najteži je zadatak ovog projekta samo to koju sledeću masku isprobati, budući da je na raspolaganju pregršt različitih maski: blato maske, peel-off maske, piling maske itd. u najrazličitijim kombinacijama najboljih i najsočnijih sastojaka iz prirode. 

  Prethodnog meseca sam odlučila da isprobam još jednu blato masku iz njihovog asortimana i to Argan Oil Mud, odnosno masku na bazi marokanskog Argan ulja. Glavni sastojci ove maske, pored ulja argana jesu i Acai bobice i šipak. Maskica dolazi u pakovanju od 15g. Dubinski čisti pore, balansira nivo masnoće i oživljava umornu kožu, te se preporučuje pre svega onima koji imaju kombinovanu do masnu kožu lica. Takođe, savetuje se da se koristi jednom nedeljno, a uputstvo za upotrebu je sledeće: operite lice, nanesite masku, opustite se 10-15 minuta, isperite i osećajte se savršeno! Maskica ima izvanredan slatkast miris, lako se nanosi i lako ispire. Ono što nas obično plaši kada su u pitanju blato maske jeste hoće li nam isušiti kožu. Sa ovom maskicom ne morate brinuti o tome, jer se to neće desiti. Nakon korišćenja ove maskice primetićete da koža izgleda čisto i sveže, a uz to je meka i nežna na dodir, bez isušivanja!
