Sophisticated Autumn in Jezebel dress

Hello Darlings.


Today I will be short with style post. 

For autumn stroll, I am coosed my new Jezebel dress by Vivien Of Holloway. Recently I did many collaborations with VOH because dresses are just perfect for my figure. Quality materials and credible design are winning combination for retro/vintage style. Vivien of Holloway dresses are never too short or too tight.

I have few sarong dresses by VOH but this is my first Jezebel dress. Lovely Paloma Faith is also fan of VOH and she was seen in violet Jezebel dress, so this cut is one of the most popular in VOH collection.
Jezebel Bronze Leopard dress is made of heavy and luxurious Dutchess Satin with beautiful but delicate shine. This is perfect for cooler days. This dress has a wrap top which flatters any size bust and a slinky pencil skirt to put a wiggle in walk. Vivien has added authentic touches such as the half peplum on the side and the elegant V-shaped back, to give that extra touch of old Hollywood glamour!

I didn't wear leopard print for a while, despite I was big fan of same when I was in my big psychobilly phase :) but bronze leopard and black satin are great together.
With VOH dress I am wearing my gold/glitter Pin Up Couture peep toe heels and Woody Ellen bag from new 2016 collection. Woody Ellen is artist from Belgium. Ellen was previously a children’s book illustrator and author for 16 years. Now she has her own wearable art business, creating custom paintings on wood panels and then transforming her paintings into pieces of wearable art.
Her method is unique. The image she wants to paint might develop in her head for weeks, but then all the energy and excitement comes together and splashes onto the wood panel. 

Her work explores color in many ways. Florals and organics are also a source of non-stop inspiration. She uses different techniques in her pieces with a mix of spontaneous brush strokes, referring to the famous artist Matisse, and an illustrator’s fine pencil detailing. The final results are a nostalgic wink to a bygone era. I love her bags and accessories and have few lovely sets.
I am also wearing my vintage necklace and classy, timeless Daniel Wellington watch.

Pavilion of Fun

Hello darlings, new blogpost today...


It was another bright and sunny day in Zagreb, perfect for colorful photosession.

Since it's spring and I am obsessed with bright colors so we decided to visit - funhouse. We find small oldlschool amusement park in my neighborhood, that perfectly fit in our story ...and fun began!

Our goal was to create tender but also whimsicaly wacky atmosphere. Unfortunately we did not have some cotton candy to spice up the atmosphere ...maybe next time :)

Would like to thank Madi (Amusement park) for hospitality and some six graders from neighbourhood who entertained us during breaks :D
Photos are by dear Jasenka Arbanas Photography and make up by my friend Monika Dugic.

Hair by me :)


Wonderfull bags are by talented Woody Ellen (I choose pink Honey Bird set). Woody Ellen is a Belgian illustrator and figurative painter. She creates her very own cabaret. A world where everything is a little more vivid and vibrant than in our own pragmatic surroundings. Just like thoughts pop in and out, she paints pictures. The story will finally tell itself. They are printed on water-resistant fibre.



















































































Our dresses are made by Lady V London.



I am wearing
Teal Green Butterfly Swing Dress, ivory peticoat by Lady V London and white chiffon nylon scarf/bandana (vtg). Shoes by Guess. Earings by Glitter Paradise.



The dress features a full circle 1950s style flared skirt, a fitted bodice & really cute small capped sleeves - these dresses ooze so much style and class! The neckline at the front is square cut and the dress fastens with a zip at the back. We have photographed the dress using a 1950s style petticoat (which helps to show the fullness of the skirt) and wearing one with the dress will really create the 'Vintage' look - although it is certainly not essential and the dress sits very nicely without.




Tamara is wearing Emerald Green 'Rosanie' Dress with RockRockabilly hair accessories. Shoes by H&M, accessories are vtg. Brand New to Lady V London. The "Lady Vintage" 'Rosanie' Dress features a 1950s style flared skirt and hidden pockets! The dress has a high neck at the front and a V neckline at the back, which creates an extremely classy and elegant look. There is a zip fastening at the back. The dresses are true 1950s length. This dress is lined around the bust (not in the skirt).




Who is "V"?

Lady V London was founded in 2011, but garment manufacturing has been a part of our family for over 60 years. .

Lady V London was born by husband and wife team, Sergio and Victoria, from a vision to create fantastic classic dress designs at affordable prices. We believe in providing customers with stunning dresses in vintage designs – with original and highly desirable prints, and above all, fantastic quality. Lady V London aims to make your customer experience enjoyable from start to finish, and will always give you something extra providing you with a timeless dress that will be used time and time again, and provide you with many happy memories.

All dresses are designed in house at Lady V London. Until June 2013, all dresses had been made within the EU. We have never made our dresses outside of the EU and do not approve of making garments in China.



The London clothing trade has been a part of Sergio’s family for three generations, spanning six decades. Sergio’s grandmother, Christalla, travelled all the way from Cyprus to London in 1953, at the age of just 21 on the promise from a friend (who she conversed with only by letter) that she would be able to get a job in a factory in Warren Street, making garments for Marks & Spencer.


Sergio’s father worked for over 25 years as a freelance pattern cutter, and also owned a factory in the heart of East London himself. Sergio’s uncle is still a pattern cutter today for one of the biggest labels in the UK. In the mid-90s nearly all of the factories manufacturing garments in the UK were forced to close due to other countries joining the EU and trade becoming much cheaper abroad. As a result a lot of highly skilled workers lost their jobs. Lady V London is determined to bring the skilled workers back to work in London, and have invested in the future of London garment manufacture.Having never left Cyprus, or ever having gone on a overseas in any way, Christalla spent 10 days on a ship (on her own) on the way to her new life. Using only the skills she had been taught by her mother, Christalla spent fifteen happy years working in the London factory, and still owns her ‘Singer’ sewing machine. Sergio’s other grandmother also travelled over from Cyprus and worked in the ‘rag’ trade her whole life in London, working in some of London’s oldest clothing factories. She set up her own mini brick built factory at the bottom of her garden, where she made clothes for some of the high street’s best known names that are still in business today!

Making Lady Vintage in London culminates three generations’ worth of high quality women’s garment manufacture in London - this has been particularly close to our heart since the very beginning of Lady V London.

Lady V Vintage is a British Brand, a British Factory, and British Workers.



Hope you guys had fun and color overdose :)

Cheers from Oslo!

Krajem zime, imala sam trodnevno snimanje za NeoLab agenciju iz Osla. Moram priznati da je to bio najzanimljiviji photosession u "povijesti" mog modeliranja.  Ako ćete me imati prilike vidjeti na jumboplakatima, reklamama bilo u Skandinaviji bilo diljem Europe naše, slobodno mi mašite. 

Moram priznati da sam bila jako iznenađena kad su mi se javili...ali eto, kad imas love, volje i kreativnosti lako bilo koga dovesti čak i s Jupitera, a kamoli Hrvatske.
I tako mi spakirali kovčege...

Reklama je bila rađena za Clausthalere / Hansa pivo. Već na prvu mi se svidio koncept - tražili su se modeli koji nisu tipični, već ekipa koja se zbilja razumije i voli ono što prezentira...ne mislim samo na pivu :) , već na sam koncept reklame. U samoj reklami sam zapravo morala biti ono što jesam - pin up djevojka koja voli dobro pojest i popit (dapače ja prezentiram bezalkoholno pivo...no svejedno - det er smak). Studio? Kao da su pogodili - damask zidovi (nismo se dugo mogli odlučiti između zlatno/smeđe i bijele kombinacije, no na kraju je ipak pala zlatna damask podloga), mali gramofon, porculanski bostonci... Ove etovirane ruke su zapravo Tarjei Strøm, bubnjar Norveške grupe DataRock.  

Sam način rada na Sjeveru me ugodno iznenadio.  Ekipa je korektna, pristupačna ali s druge strane poprilično stroga i ne forsira lažnu ljubaznost. U 4sata smo uspjeli napraviti sve, tako da mi je ostatak dana bio za odmor, druženje s "NeoLab" crew, ručak, razgledavanje...i potragu zanimljivih lokacija, alternativnih shopova i famoznom birtijom koju vodi "Turbonegro" crew. 

Nažalost bili smo premoreni i ovo baš nije bilo putovanje turističkog tipa (kvalitetnija potraga će uroditi nekom drugom prilikom...) a cjene u Oslu su preskupe...malo smo podcijenili njihove birtije i restorane. Piva 70kn/kruna, a pizza 120kruna/kn. Početna cijena za Taxi (koje od reda voze isključivo emigranti) je 100kuna/kruna. Malo previše za klijente Camea. :) Za njihov standard to je naravno normalna cijena.iste kao i u nas. Cijene robe i sličnog su jednake kao i kod nas...ja sam uspjela nabrojati bar tri H&M-a u malom centru grada.  A naš hotel (Clariton) u samom centru je čak i gledao na H&M shop.  Sam grad mi djeluje nekako sterilno i zrači pomalo depresivno...kafići su potpuno prazni i unatoć visokom standardu njihova ekipa ne provodi sate i sate na kavama...kao npr. ekipa na našoj špici. Vjerojatno ni nemaju špicu...Žalili smo što nije bio weekend jer se svi odreda (bez obzira na godine i status) doslovno krše vikendom, za koji žive.

Za ručak smo se naravno kao pravi balkanci gozbili svime što smo uhvatili na stolu...od kavijara, do njihovih tradicionalnih jela (većinom ribe i sira).

Trebali smo čak i gostovati (ja i moja plavija polovica Alexandar) na "Lydverket" showu, no to je propalo zbog premorenog Kennetha (on je glava operacije projekta...pa nam je bio neka vrsta vodiča i direktor NeoLaba) što mi je jako žao.
Uglavnom fino prvo upoznavanje s Oslom, nikako ne i zadnje. 

Slike naravno u takvim situacijama govore više nego riječi...

Za stil na setu se pobrinula simpatična Linda Wickman. Linda je godinama radila u Londonu (i bila redoviti gost na Torture Garden partijima, tako da smo odmah pronašle zanimljivu temu...) Linda je odlično prihvatila moj ukus pa je kostimografija bila zanimljiv dio projekta. Krasna mint zelena haljina (koja je pobjedila prvi odabir - crvenu haljinu...) je iz njihovog "I love vintege" shopa (dobila bi je po "popustu" od 1500kn...inače košta 4000, no ipak sam radije odlučila dati šivati takvu sličnu :)) a famozni grudnjak je od njihove poznate dizajnerice Marlies Dekkers. Dekkers je poznata po tome što radi rublje za Gagu i Ditu Von Teese. Pa eto...mogu se pohvaliti da sam nosila nešto što voli i krasna Dita. 

Šminkala je simpatična ekipa iz http://www.pudder.org/. Izveli su sve onako kako bi napravila i sama...čak smo i međusobno izmijenili neke savjete. Fotkao je fotograf Fred Jhonny. Zbilja profesionalna ekipa koja zna svoj posao. Bilo mi je pomalo čudno kako su me tretirali kao public figure tj. celebritija...E Skandinavci moji krasni...vidimo se opet. Do onda jedva čekam drugi dio reklame s muškom polovicom.

Ono što smo uhvatili, Opera House, zaleđeno more, Alexandar na čekanju...i konačno ono zanimljivije slikice sa seta. Retro iphone, accessories za shooting, atmosfera i za kraj finalan rezultat. Uglavnom...ovo ionako nije bio turistički izlet. Išlo se ispak radit. :) Cheers!
