Carla Vadan: glitter

Let Yourself Shine

Asos October 18, 2016

Today it's all about no.2 and no.3 - denim + glitter, ruffles + leather. Denim is taking over the fashion world now, it's all about oversized denim jackets, raw hem, denim on denim, patchwork denim, etc. I customised this jacket myself - you can find out all about it in one of my older posts - here, because I had something in mind and couldn't find something similar to buy. And why spend money on it when I can have a unique jacket and use my skills too? Haha.

I adore glitter as I previously stated! It's childish, it's a bit kitsch, and I love how it looks when mixed with denim - precious. Now what if I would add ruffles to this equation? It certainly adds a romantic touch and makes the assembly more feminine, with a playful twist. I found this gorgeous shirt on SammyDress, you can buy it HERE.

The Obi Belt is one of the accessories I've been in love for some years now, and it happens to be on trend (I don't think it will ever go out of fashion, but who cares - I will continue to wear it). When I found this faux leather trousers, I was more than happy, they're comfy, chic and perfect for cold and rainy days! One of my style trademarks is mixing textures, so here it is: denim + glitter + ruffles + leather. A mix I truly feel amazing in!

Take care until next time.

Love,

Carla

Letter To My Friends

all black July 25, 2016

Lovely people,

Long gone are the days when we used to play games in the parks near our home, on the streets, everywhere...from climbing trees to imagining the impossible, everything seemed possible. Of course we still have our dreams, where would we be without them?

Being back home, lots of magical memories of childhood days keep flooding my memory: from those hot summer days when my grandad used to take my friends and I to long trips discovering the forests nearby or to those awfully cold but absolutely divine days of winter, when the snow used to cover everything in a thick silver layer of pure magic and we were sledding until night, rushing home with our completely frozen hands and feet to picking up rainbows of colourful flowers during spring...ah, how I miss those days.

Sure we can still do all the above, but the purity of childhood slowly fades away until we have less and less of it. And we need it! By visiting the places we love, the home where we grew up, we can bring that magic back. With a simple incantation. It doesn't require fancy words. You just need to close your eyes. To breathe and to smile. It will all come back. You will start remembering and rejoicing. You will find happiness in everything, your mind will be at peace. You will get your creativity back. Your soul will sing again.

And suddenly,

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
