I don’t always take the time to do my hair. Actually, on most days, I either wear a very lazy side braid (or the Katniss braid, as some people call  it) or an even lazier pony tail or I just leave it down (that’s on the laziest days of all). But lately I have been making more of an effort on the hair frontier: I’ve played with styling my long fringe, which I have been letting grow out, I’ve tried pigtail braids, I’ve done the messy bun. I’ve also recently bought a large hair doughnut, which I used to achieve the hair style shown in this particular post. It’s really easy to use and looks quite put together, it gives a level of sophistication to an otherwise casual outfit.

These photos were taken last weekend, when we went to lunch to one of our favorite weekend lunch restaurants Na Radnici. It’s both close to our flat and to M’s parents’ flat and M’s brother’s flat so we tend to go together but sometimes we just by ourselves, as we did last weekend. It was quite a nice day (as we took the car, ha!) so I only wore a knitted vest (Topshop) as outer wear. I wore one of my favorite dresses (Dune), one of the very few that has sleeves. And most importantly, I wore a new pair shoes!

Shoes: Melissa Dance Hits in pink and blue

I love a fun pair of flats (I love a fun pair of heels too but flats are definitely more wearable in my life at the moment, what with a daily commute and running around a cobble stoned city.) It will surprise absolutely no  one that Melissa is a favorite brand of mine. I adore their quirky designs and I find the material of (most of) their shoes to be very comfortable and easy to wear. Plus they smell nice. Below is a picture that I posted over on my instagram. If you don’t already, please follow me, that way you’ll always be up to date.

*Later this week I will do a recount of how far along I am in the shoe challenge. I wonder how I’m doing…
