Answering: Couture Case Q&A

Kao što znate, pre deset dana sam rekla da želim da objavim post u kome ću odgovarati na neka pitanja koja imate za mene. Dobila sam dosta pitanja i dobro se zabavljala odgovarajući na njih. Hoćemo li početi?


1. Drago mi je što i ti napokon praviš Q&A, jer te dugo pratim a ne znam baš mnogo toga o blogerki koju gotivim i čiji rad jako poštujem! Volela bih da nam se predstaviš malo detaljnije, koje si godište, odakle, šta si završila i čime se baviš, koji je tvoj omiljeni kozmetički brend, omiljeni parfem i muzika koju slušaš, koliko dugo se baviš blogom i slično.

- Pre svega, zahvaljujem se na komplimentu. Kada je u pitanju ono najopštije o meni i to koliko dugo vodim ovaj blog, to možete pronaći ovde. Što se tiče mog omiljenog kozmetičkog brenda kada je u pitanju šminka, ako moram da izdvojim omiljeni to bi verovatno bio NYX Cosmetics zbog kvaliteta koji me gotovo uvek prijatno iznenadi, velikog izbora kad su u pitanju vrste proizvoda i relativno pristupačnih cena. Omiljeni parfemi su mi J'adore Dior i Vanitas Versace i koristim ih gotovo uvek. Muzika koju slušam nije strogo ograničena na određene izvođače ili par žanrova tako da je to malo teže objasniti, ali su to u najvećem procentu pop i rok žanrovi.


2. Želim da te uskoro vidim u nekoj crvenoj odevnoj kombinaciji, sigurna sam da ti crvena super stoji jer imaš divnu dugu tamnu kosu i tamna si.

- Ovo se ne može baš svrstati u pitanja, ali rado ću odgovoriti. Hvala puno na komplimentu, a čim budem našla nešto u crvenoj boji što mi se dovoljno dopadne obećavam da ću to objaviti na blogu jer i sama volim crvenu.


3. Šta je to što voliš, a da nema nikakve veze s modom?

- Mnogo toga, zapravo! Ono čime volim da se bavim pored mode i ovog bloga jesu crtanje i kuvanje, uživam u tome da prenosim svoje ideje na papir i isprobavam nove kombinacije ukusa. Pored toga volim da čitam i udubim se u neku dobru knjigu, a neki od mojih omiljenih pisaca su J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien i Agatha Christie. Od ranog detinjstva volim da igram igrice zahvaljujući bratu od tetke s kojim sam odrastala, i dan-danas se ponekad vratim tome i mogu reći da sam još uvek prilično dobra. Fasciniraju me medicina i njoj srodne nauke, a već deset godina unazad govorim kako mi je među njima najinteresantnija forenzika. Takođe sam veliki ljubitelj životinja i uživam u tome da o njima saznajem više gledajući dokumentarce i čitajući enciklopedije, a isto se odnosi i na drevne kulture i civilizacije, posebno mitologiju različitih podneblja. I da, takođe volim i zmajeve.


4. Da možeš da upoznaš bilo koju osobu iz sveta mode ko bi to bio, i zašto?

- Prva osoba koja mi pada na pamet jeste Elie Saab kao moj omiljeni modni dizajner jer me fascinira njegov rad, kao i njegov pogled na eleganciju i žensku lepotu. Volela bih da mi pokaže kako dobija inspiraciju i kako skicira svoje buduće kreacije. Takođe bih volela da upoznam Karla Lagerfelda. Ne znam zašto, ali čini mi se da bi njega bilo zanimljivo upoznati i raditi s njim, njegova pojava mi je na čudan način interesantna!


5. Gde nalaziš inspiraciju za kombinacije? Kako bi opisala svoj stil?

- Inspiraciju mogu pronaći bilo gde, ali najviše je dobijam, verovali ili ne, iz muzike koju slušam. Ne znam kako to da objasnim, ali kada čujem neku određenu pesmu na pamet mi padaju različite boje, dezeni i krojevi i to je jedan od glavnih razloga zašto na blogu svoje postove s odevnim kombinacijama nazivam po svojim najdražim pesmama. Takođe me inspirišu drugi ljudi i njihovi stilovi jer me oduševljava različitost, i kad god vidim nešto što mi privuče pažnju na nekom drugom isprobam to i odlučim hoću li to uključiti u sopstveni stil. Zanimljivo mi je da isprobavam nove stvari! Svoj stil bih najkraće opisala kao svestran pre svega zato što ne volim da se ograničavam ni u kom smislu, a i zato što se nikad ne zna šta će mi se dopasti i kako ću to nešto uklopiti.


6. Gde i kako vidiš sebe za 10 godina?

- Pitanja ovog tipa dobijam prilično često, ali uprkos tome još uvek ne mogu da dam definitivan odgovor na njega. Budućnost je suviše neizvesna da bih mogla da gledam tako daleko unapred, ali ono što mogu da kažem je sledeće: sebe kroz 10 godina vidim, pre svega, srećnu. Ne znam gde ću živeti, ali se nadam da ću moći da se uspešno bavim svojim budućim zanimanjem (stomatologijom) i svojim najdražim hobijima.


7. Koji je tvoj omiljeni modni/kozmetički trend?

- Trendove ne pratim dovoljno redovno tako da sam mnogo njih ispustila, jedini koji mi padaju na pamet su zmijski dezen i "slip" haljine. Obožavam da nosim te stvari! Kada se radi o kozmetičkim trendovima najviše mi se dopadaju metalik mat karmini i nanošenje hajlajtera.


8. Šta si u horoskopu i veruješ li u te stvari?

- Moj horoskopski znak je Rak, podznak Ovan, ali uprkos brojnim podudarnostima između odlika dotičnih horoskopskih znakova i moje ličnosti nisam neko ko veruje u te stvari. Apsolutno mi je nepojmljivo da položaj zvezda i planeta u trenutku nečijeg rođenja može biti presudan za njegov karakter.


9. Koji ti je trenutno omiljeni modni trend?

- U ovom trenutku bi to bile metalik gležnjače jer sjajno nadograđuju svaku jesenju odevnu kombinaciju.


10. Šta je to što najviše voliš kod sebe?

- Zavisi šta se krije iza ovog pitanja. Ako se odnosi na moj fizički izgled onda je to moja kosa - mislim da je ona moj najveći adut. Međutim, ako se radi o meni kao ličnosti onda bih izdvojila svoju kreativnost, dovitljivost i snalažljivost, kao i to da ne odustajem tako lako. Druge kvalitete ne bih izdvajala jer bolji uvid u njih imaju ljudi koji su mi bliski i najbolje me poznaju.


11. Koji je tvoj životni moto?

- "Voli sebe pre svega."


12. Imaš li skrivenih talenata?

- Talenti koje sam prepoznala u sebi do sada jesu crtanje i lako učenje stranih jezika, mada u suštini gotovo sve mogu da naučim relativno brzo. Takođe mislim da dobro imitiram Golluma iz "Gospodara prstenova". Ako imam još talenata, onda su tako duboko skriveni da ja i dalje ne znam da postoje - ako je jedan od njih pevanje, onda molim Boga da će isplivati u skorije vreme jer kada pevam zvučim kao da mi treba ukazati hitnu pomoć.


13. Koji foto-aparat koristiš za slikanje?

- Koristim iPhone 6s jer trenutno ne posedujem ništa bolje od toga, ali kad god vidite na blogu fotografije boljeg kvaliteta onda iza njih stoje moje drugarice koje koriste Nikon foto-aparate.


14. Kada si počinjala sa blogovanjem, da li si mislila da ćeš dovde stići?

- Iskreno - ne! Vođenje ovog bloga mi je od samog početka hobi u kome uživam, i još uvek sam iznenađena brojem i kvalitetom saradnji koje sam ostvarila zahvaljujući tome.


15. Šta te je podstaklo da otvoriš blog?

- Glavni razlog za osnivanje ovog bloga jeste potreba za kreativnim prostorom u kome ću deliti svoja interesovanja sa drugima, kao i za slobodom izražavanja. Kako sam jedini autor ovog bloga imam apsolutnu slobodu da uređujem njegov dizajn i sadržaj po svom ukusu, što me čini jako srećnom.


16. Planiraš li da u budućnosti otvoriš YouTube kanal?

- Za dalju budućnost ne mogu biti sigurna, ali kad se radi o bliskoj budućnosti odgovor je ne. Nisam neko ko vidi sebe na kameri, mnogo se bolje izražavam kroz pisanje.


17. Da li imaš kućnog ljubimca?

- Zapravo imam, i to dva - imam patuljastu pudlu, mužjaka koji se zove Bubi i ima petnaest godina, kao i tigricu od dve i po godine koja se zove Tyrion (tako je, "Igra prestola").


18. Da li imaš plan da sarađuješ sa nekom blogerkom, ako da, sa kojom i zašto baš sa njom?

- Blogerka sa kojom mogu da kažem da sam sarađivala do sad jeste Isidora sa bloga High Heel Poodle, koja je ujedno i moja dobra prijateljica. Sarađivale smo do sada tako što smo jedna drugoj bile i model i fotograf, ali nadam se da ćemo imati i zajedničke projekte druge vrste. Isto se odnosi i na moju dobru prijateljicu Natašu sa bloga In Fashion Chains. Međutim, jedna od blogerki sa kojima bih volela da sarađujem je Luanna Perez sa bloga LE HAPPY. Jeste da su naši stilovi dosta različiti, ali upravo zato bih volela da sarađujem s njom i vidim kako će to ispasti. Nažalost, to je, barem u ovom trenutku, više želja nego plan jer je za sada to nemoguće ostvariti.


19. Koja ti je omiljena blogerka?

- Ne može se reći da intenzivno pratim neku modnu blogerku, ali definitivno su mi najzanimljivije Luanna Perez sa bloga LE HAPPY i Ellen V Lora sa bloga PURE EVL.


20. Koje ti je omiljeno mesto za fotografisanje?

- Nijedno određeno jer je zaista teško pronaći lokaciju za fotografisanje, a onda i uhvatiti najpogodniji trenutak u kadru. Teško je objasniti kakve lokacije volim za slikanje, to može biti i interesantan zid sa mnogo boja i klasično gradsko šetalište.


21. Koji ti je omiljeni slatkiš?

- Za jednog budućeg stomatologa stvarno i previše volim slatkiše! Kada bi moji profesori znali u kojoj meri uživam u njima verovatno bi se zapitali kako još uvek imam zube. Slatkiši koje najviše volim su šećerna vuna, pogotovo ona ružičasta s blagim ukusom jagode, kao i Skittles Crazy Sours bombone. Tek na trećem mestu nalazi se čokolada.


22. Zašto uvek naručuješ moka kafu? Postoji li neka posebna moka koju bi trebalo da probamo, neka tvoja omiljena?

- Moka je moja ubedljivo omiljena kafa zbog njene očaravajuće čokoladne arome, volim da je pijem i hladnu i toplu, i naručujem je gde god da odem jer me uvek zanima da vidim kako se moka u tom određenom kafiću razlikuje od svih onih koje sam pila do sada. Moka koju bih svakome rekla da proba jeste ona koju prave u Starbucks kafićima, fenomenalna je!


23. Šta bi navela kao najtežu stvar u blogovanju?

- Iskreno, ne bih rekla da mi je bilo šta naročito teško u blogovanju jer je to nešto što volim da radim, ali ako bih morala da izdvojim nešto onda bi to bilo održavanje kontinuiteta objavljivanja sadržaja jer pored svakodnevnih obaveza to nije uvek jednostavno. Takođe treba vredno raditi na kvalitetu tog sadržaja i težiti napretku, ali za to je svakako potrebno vreme.


24. Zašto si se priključila blogerskoj zajednici?

- Kao što sam već rekla, ovaj blog je moj kreativni prostor koji mi pruža svu slobodu izražavanja koju sam uvek želela da imam, ali sam se ovoj zajednici priključila i zato što sam znala da ću upoznati dosta ljudi koji teže istom cilju, i mogu reći da je pravo uživanje otkrivati nove blogove i čitati objave na njima.


25. Šta još voliš vezano za blogovanje?

- Volim to što dobijam prilike da sarađujem sa različitim sajtovima i brendovima, i kad vidim šta sve mogu odabrati u okviru tih saradnji moj stil nastavlja da se razvija. Takođe je sjajan osećaj kada za nešto možete reći da ste sami zaradili, nekako se osećate nezavisnije i samostalnije.


26. Ko je tvoja modna ikona?

- Mislim da nikoga određenog ne posmatram baš kao modnu ikonu, ali mnogo mi se dopada Selena Gomez - obožavam njen stil! Mnogo mi se dopada i stil moje dobre drugarice Ane sa fakulteta, volela bih da vidite kako se ona oblači. Njen stil je ležeran i šik, apsolutno sjajan za svakodnevne prilike i do sada nisam našla zamerku na njene kombinacije. Priznajem da i sama od nje dobijam mnogo ideja.


Nadam se da ste ovako mogli da saznate nešto više o meni, recite mi kako vam se dopada u komentarima. ;)

_________________________________________________________________________________________

As you already know, ten days ago I posted about wanting to do a Q&A type of post. I received plenty of questions and I had so much fun answering them. Shall we begin?


1. I'm glad that you're finally doing a Q&A post because I've been following you for a long time and I don't know much about the blogger that I like and whose work I respect a lot! I'd like you to introduce yourself to us, say how old you are, where you're from, what you finished and what you do for a living, what's your favourite make up brand, perfume and what music you listen to, how long you've been blogging etc.

- First of all, I appreciate the compliment. When it comes to the general facts about me and how long I've had this blog, you can find it all here. When it comes to my favourite beauty brand, if I had to name one it would probably be NYX Cosmetics because of their great quality, variety of products and relatively affordable prices. My favourite fragrances are J'adore Dior and Vanitas Versace that I use nearly always. The music I listen to isn't strictly limited to certain artists and genres so it's a bit difficult to explain, but mostly it's pop and rock.


2. I'd like to see you in a red outfit soon, I'm sure that red looks great on you because you have wonderful long dark hair and your complexion is dark.

- This isn't exactly a question, but I'll gladly answer. Thank you so much for the compliment, and as soon as I find something that I like in red I promise that I'll publish it on the blog as well because I really like red as a color.


3. What is it that you like, but has nothing to do with fashion?

- Many things, actually! Things I like to do apart from fashion and this blog are drawing and cooking, I enjoy putting my ideas on the paper and trying out different flavours. Apart from that I like reading and getting lost in the story of a good book, and some of my favourite authors are J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien and Agatha Christie. Since my early childhood I like playing video games thanks to my cousin that I grew up with, I do that from time to time even today and I can say that I'm still pretty good. I'm fascinated by medicine and related sciences, and for ten years now I've been saying how I find forensics the most interesting. I'm also a great animal lover and enjoy finding out more about them by watching documentaries and reading encyclopedias, and the same applies to ancient cultures and civilizations, especially different mythologies. And yes, I also love dragons.


4. If you could meet anyone from the fashion world, who would that be and why?

- The first person that comes to mind is Elie Saab as my favourite fashion designer because I'm fascinated by his work, as well as his perspective on elegance and beauty of women. I'd like him to show me how he gets inspiration and how he sketches his future designs. I'd also like to meet Karl Lagerfeld. I don't know why, but it seems to me that he'd be an interesting person to meet and work with, his appearance is strangely appealing to me!


5. Where do you get inspiration for your outfits? How would you describe your style?

- I can find inspiration anywhere, but I mostly get it from the music I listen to, believe it or not. I can't really explain it, but when I listen to a certain song different colors, patterns and tailorings come to mind and that's one of the main reasons why I name my outfit posts after my favourite songs. I'm also inspired by other people and their styles because I love diversity, and whenever I see something that catches my eye on someone else I try it out and decide whether I'll incorporate it into my style or not. I find it interesting to try new things! I'd describe my style as versatile mainly because I don't like to limit myself in any way, and also because you never know what I'll end up liking or how I'll wear it.


6. Where and how do you see yourself in 10 years?

- I get this question quite often, but I still can't give you the final answer. The future is too uncertain for me to look that far ahead, but what I can say is the following: in 10 years' time I see myself happy, first and foremost. I don't know where I'll end up living, but I hope that I'll be able to successfully do my job (as a dentist) and enjoy my dearest hobbies.


7. What is your favourite fashion/beauty trend?

- I don't keep up with trends enough so I missed out on so many, the only ones that come to mind are snake print and slip dresses. I love wearing those! When it comes to beauty trends I love metallic matte lipsticks and use of highlighter most of all.


8. What's your zodiac sign and do you believe in those things?

- My zodiac sign is Cancer and my ascendant is Aries, but regardless of many similarities between their characteristics and my own personality I'm not exactly a believer. I can't possibly understand that the position of stars and planets in the moment of someone's birth can be the fundament of their character.


9. What is your currently favourite fashion trend?

- At the moment it would be the metallic ankle boot trend because those can elevate any autumn outfit.


10. What is it that you like the most about yourself?

- It depends on what lies behind this question. If it's about my physical appearance I'd say that it's my hair - I think it's my greatest attribute. However, if it's about who I am as a person than I'd say it's my creativity and ability to manage any situation, as well as the fact that I don't give up so easily. I wouldn't mention other qualities because they are best seen by the people closest to me and who know me best.


11. What is your life motto?

- "Love yourself first."


12. Do you have any hidden talents?

- The talents I recognized in myself so far are drawing and the ability to easily learn foreign languages, though I can learn almost anything relatively quickly. I also think that I'm good at impersonating Gollum from "Lord of the rings". If I have any other talents, they are so well hidden that I don't know they exist - if one of them is singing, I pray to God that it surfaces sometime soon because when I sing I sound like I'm in need of CPR.


13. What camera do you take pictures with?

- I use my iPhone 6s because I don't own anything better at the moment, but whenever you see photos of better quality on the blog then they're taken by my friends who use Nikon cameras.


14. When you started blogging, did you ever think you'd make it this far?

- Honestly - no! Managing this blog has been a hobby that I enjoy from the beginning, and I'm still surprised by the number and quality of collaborations that I had thanks to it.


15. What made you start blogging?

- The main reason I founded this blog was feeling the need to have a creative space of my own to share my interests on, as well as getting freedom to express myself the way I want to. Being the sole author of this blog gives me absolute freedom to arrange its design and content according to my taste, which makes me very happy.


16. Do you plan to start a YouTube channel in the future?

- I can't be sure about further ahead in time, but when it comes to the near future the answer is no. I don't see myself on camera, I express myself much better though writing.


17. Do you have a pet?

- Actually, I do, two to be precise - I own a petite poodle, a male named Bubi who is fifteen years old, as well as a two and a half year old budgie named Tyrion (that's right, "Game of thrones").


18. Do you plan to collaborate with a blogger, and if you do, which one and why her?

- The blogger that I can say I collaborated with so far is Isidora from High Heel Poodle, who is also a good friend of mine. We collaborated by being each other's both model and photographer, but I hope that we'll also have other common projects in the future. The same thing applies to my good friend Nataša from In Fashion Chains. However, one of the bloggers that I'd love to work with is Luanna Perez from LE HAPPY. Our styles are very different, true, but that's exactly why I'd love to collaborate with her on something and see how it turns out. Sadly, that is, at least in this moment, more of a wish than a plan since it's impossible for now.


19. Who is your favourite blogger?

- I can't say that I'm truly following any fashion blogger, but the most interesting girls out there are definitely Luanna Perez from LE HAPPY and Ellen V Lora from PURE EVL.


20. What is your favourite shooting location?

- I don't have a specific one because it's really hard to find a location to do a photoshoot, and also catch the right moment in a photograph. It's hard to explain what kind of locations I like for photoshooting, it can be both an interesting wall with many colors or a classic city street.


21. What's your favourite candy?

- Surprisingly, for a future dentist I really enjoy candy too much! If my professors knew how much I loved them they'd probably wonder how come I still have my teeth. The sweets I like the most are cotton candy, especially the pink one with the mild strawberry flavour, and Skittles Crazy Sours. Chocolate comes in third.


22. Why do you always order mocha coffee? Is there a special kind of mocha that we should try, one of your favourites?

- Mocha is undoubtedly my favourite coffee because of its wonderful chocolaty aroma, I love drinking it both hot and cold, and I order it in every café I go to because I'm curious to find out if it's any different in that very café than any other I've had before. The mocha that I'd tell anyone to taste is the one they serve in Starbucks, it's phenomenal!


23. What would you say is the hardest thing about blogging?

- Honestly, I wouldn't say that anything is too hard about blogging because it's something I like doing, but if I had to mention something then it would probably be having a schedule of publishing content because it's not always simple with all the obligations one has on a daily basis. One should also work hard on the quality of the content and tend to upgrade it, which is something that requires time.


24. Why did you join the blogger community?

- As I already said, this blog is my creative space that gives me all the freedom to express myself I ever wanted, but I also joined this community because I knew that I'd meet many people who go for the same goal, and I can say that it's enjoyable to discover new blogs and read all sorts of posts.


25. What else do you like about blogging?

- I like the fact that I get opportunities to collaborate with different websites and brands, and when I see what I can choose from thanks to those collaborations my style keeps evolving. It's also a great feeling to be able to say that you earned something all by yourself, it gives you the feeling of being independent.


26. Who is your fashion icon?

- I don't think that I consider anyone a true fashion icon, but I really like Selena Gomez - I love her style! I also love the style of my good college friend Ana, I'd love you to see how she dresses. Her style is casual and chic, absolutely flawless for everyday life and so far I haven't seen anything to criticize when it comes to her outfits. I admit that I get many ideas from her.


I hope this allowed you to find out more about me, let me know if you like it in the comments. ;)
