Crafts. Wrapping gifts in pretty wooden crates

A new obsession of mine. I was never good at paper wrapping, so I'll be doing this from now on :) If you have the same problem each Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthday or any other gift-giving holiday, you might want to read on ;)

Recipe. Blueberry-raspberry cheesecake

Definitely in my top 5 favourite cakes to make. I've made it for the first time for my sister's hubby's birthday a couple years ago. It is so refreshing and extremely delicious! 

Diy. Tiny photo memories

This is possibly the coolest DIY project I've made this year. I decided to make little photo earrings, a keychain and a necklace. True, the necklace is still waiting to be finished, but the earrings and the keychain are done and turned out great!

Beauty product. All natural honey soap

Having a very sensitive skin I only trust all-natural products. And I absolutely love these handmade soaps. you can find them at Medeno milo - I know the site is in Slovene language, so here's a quick introduction. 

Travel. Piran

The Slovenian coastline is only around 46 kilometers long, but it is charming, inviting and will definitely stay in your memory for a long time if you were ever to visit. 

Diy. Seashell earrings

When I’m by the sea I love walking by the shore collecting seashells. Different shapes, sizes, color, all very pretty.  This year I decided to make these earrings.

Style. Starfish earrings

 (Earrings: Almaplena)

I love, love, love any kind of sea inspired jewelry. These earring are super cute and can be worn with pretty much anything.  

Decor. Hot liquid cups

(cup: Aqua)

I found these while walking through the streets of Rovinj, Croatia back in August. Now I use them every morning, evening or any other time I feel like having some tea. :)

Style. Strolling in stripes

(Wearing. shirt, jeans: Zara shoes: Hilfiger earrings: Swarovski coral glass ring: Almaplena anchor ring: Ebay)

These were shot a while ago, at the end of August when the sun finally came out. After a not-so-summery summer we welcomed every ray of light. A fellow blogger (check out her blog: Stardust And Roses) and myself went on a nice stroll around Ljubljana and took these photos. 

Thanks Roxy! :)

Travel. Rovinj

If there is any place on Earth I would call my second home, this city would be it. I am absolutely, utterly, truly, unconditionally in love with Rovinj. Such a gem!

Diy. Wooden coasters

Having nothing to do this last weekend, I took leftover wood branches and cut them into 1 centimeter thick pieces. I had some stencils with coastal motives lying in my "crafty" drawer - I especially like the anchor motif - and brushed over them with acrylic paint. 

And voila! Instant coasters! 

Diy. 90 minute reversible walk-around-town summer bag

I’m not much of a seamstress, but this project shown to me by my sister is really easy to do. It took us only 90 minutes, and that included the preparation time and the inevitable girl talk - you know how sisters are. :)

You’ll need:

• Fabric:  100% cotton, thick, two sided, preferably with coastal patterns - it is a summer bag after all ;) ; you'll need 4 pieces of 30x30 cm, but you can make it bigger or smaller if you wish
• All purpose thread to match your fabric
• See-through ruler
• Scissors or rotary cutter and a mat
