I looooove turquoise....and paired with silver is the most perfect wedding in the world! As you see, most of my jewelry with turquoise stones are mixed with silver, though I've given a chance to gold as well!
What do you think sweeties?!? Is turquoise jewelry something for you, and if so do you preffer it with silver or with gold?
I received a package from Riverisland.com the other day that made me really excited! I found this crochet maxi skirt in their sales department and decided to take a chance on it, since I wanted a maxi crochet skirt/dress for a very long time! Guess what...it is a dream! It really is perfect and I'm so in love with it!!!
If you want to know more about what I do during the day, get the news before it reaches the blog together with things that never reach the blog, find me and follow me on Instagram @ivannascloset.
I've also added a gadget in the menu bar on the right, where all of you who don't have Instagram yet can see a slide show of my most recent insta-shots! =) See you on Instagram! =)
Sail away through the desert! Love the destination they chose for the shoot, the pieces are amazing, love all the feathers, the mesh, neaons and lace! Absolutely breathtaking! What do you think ?!?
I spotted this fake suede, brown, waterfall jacket/blazer while randomly browsing through Laredoute.com. Fell inlove immediately! The model, the material, the fact that it has pockets (!) and the price (it was on sale) were all so alined that I just clicked on the "Add to Cart" button! I'm not regretting that moment at all! The perfect summer jacket is hanging in my closet as we speak!
This time, last year, I was already in Macedonia, meeting and catching up with friends and family, having fun and enjoying the warm weather. This year, I'm staying in Sweden for most of the time and working, but hoping for a real summer weather as well. The good thing is that there is hope, if I don't get hot summer here, I'm still visiting my friends and relatives for 10 days in august, hope the weather will be fine then! =)
Anyways, since I haven't been doing anything but staying in today, in stead of one outfit of today, you get three from june last year! =)
Have a great one! =)

Since I'm done with school and I have a lot of free time on my hands, I can finally catch up on all my DIY projects I've tought of doing during the year ;). I've strted up with some, which inspired my boyfriend, and one morning, while we are still sitting and drinking coffee, he took a metal thread, the citrine cristal and the amethyst stone that we had just lying around and created this! Can you imagine ?!? Such creative hands! Now, I'm a proud owner of two unique rings, one consiting of an amethyst stone, and one citrine quartz cristal pendant! The only thing I need now is a chan that will go perfectly with my new awesome pendant!
You've probably heard that Nelly.com has opened a competition where you can design your own bag, win a prize a get it into production? Well, I decided to put my creativity out of captivity and this is what I've got so far. My small bohemian collection =) I'm going after what I like, what I'm inspired at the moment and what I'd like to have in my closet now. As you see, there is a lot of fringe, native prints, studs and tassels. I really like it, and it would make me really happy if you took a little bit of your time and vote for my bags here. Thanks sweeties!!! ^^
Another thing that came in the same H&M package as the shoes below is this ring! I love that is Aztec inspired, all the pattern and the turqoise stones are just in a perfect together!
I'm on the search for the perfect crochet dress, in an off-white shade, no sleeves and fringe! This one from Riverisland is close to the perfect one, but if you got some tips please share! =)
A crochet dress is a perfect dress for summer, it is easy to dress up and down, depending on how you want it! =) What do you think ? Is a crochet dress something for you ?
When I saw them at H&M news the other week or so, I had to click them home! You all know how much I've wanted a pair of Minnetonka's mockasins, but since my wallet says no at the moment, I went for these! They are really perfect, the fringe, the colourful details, I absolutely love them! =)
Roaming the area of the online shopping country, searching for something completely different I happen to stumble upon this awesomness! This jacket was as if pulled out from my head! I love everything about it, the visible stiches, the "waterfall" design, the colour and the material! I could really use an update in my leather jackets file, too bad my wallet screams, NO! One can always dream and hope for sale, right ;) ?!?
You'll find it here and you can have it for 1500 SEK !
Today's details are a mixture of gold and silver, suede and fringe, feathers and native patterns. I just can't escape it, whenever I am to put an outfit together, that is the combination that pops up first! Hope you'll like it! =)

The last thing that came in the Romwe package are these shorts! Love the dip dye effect together with the star sutdds! The only thing missing right now is the 25+ temperature since it has been raining like crazy these days! =) What do you think sweeties ?!?
Something I forgot to mention in my "At The Moment"-list is a printed clutch, and it should have been in the "Wanted" category =) I think that every girl shoud own one. Mine would be in a warmer tone, but still bright coloured. The pattern would be, as most of you would guess, native, maybe Aztec isnpired. I preffer oversized clutches, so I could have space for all my things! =) A printed clutch can really make an outfit as well as a statement. Imagine one of those "have nothing to wear days" and you put on a black ensamble (which I usually do) and then add on a printed clutch! Voilá! You look chic immediately! I love all the clutches on the collage above and if you want to know where you can get them, check my Fashiolista here (<---- click).
Have completely forgotten to show you this! Was at a second hand round recently and found this "plant holder" or whatever you call it, made completely of sea-shells! Fell for it immediately and got it for only 10 SEK (!!!). Now I have a lovely plant hanging in my shell chandellier (as I love to call it:) on the living-room window! What do you think sweeties ?!?
Inspired by lovely Anna, who did her own "At The Moment"-list recently, I decided to make one myself and share it with you guys, so here it is! =)
PIECE OF CLOTHING
At the moment I'm completely stuck on all blouses/shirts/tunics in sheer and flowy material, prefferably with crochet or lace details! They are so easily transformable and therefore you can dress them up or down depending on the accessories you choose! =)
BAG
Fringe, fringe and then some...yes, fringe! Tan, chockolate brown, white, black. With embroidery, studs and other accessories. That is my perfect bag! I own one in brown, but guess if I need more colours! =))
SHOES
I don't think I need to say much here. All of you that read my blog know how weak I'm for "Wild West" inspired boots! Yeah! Cowboy baby! Hah, I've become quite the collector and the number will increase, be sure of that! =) The latest are these from BikBok, which I absolutely adore, they are extremely comfortable and go with everything in my closet, which is a huge plus!
ACCESSORIES
I have my periods. Once is all about the necklaces, then the rings, now it's all about bracelets. They can be in silver, gold or any other material, I love them, especially when paired with my new wrist watch! I have a couple of silver bracelets, which are all gifts from loved ones and these I wear all the time on my right wrist, but the left one is always open for experiments.
WANTED
Talking about boots =) Besides my love for cowboy boots I keep mockasins very close to my heart. Comfortable as converse, but a bohemian version. I would like to own all the different versions from these too, but I can settle for a low shaft, brown, fringed ones. A birthday present maybe ?!?
TREND/S I'M NOT FALLING FOR
My personal moto is "more is more is more" so you can bet that I'm not falling for the minimalistic trend this year, as many others do. I love piling up with jewelry and layering different pieces of clothing! Another trend I'm not going to "follow" is the sporty one, since I've never been the sporty person, I don't even wear comfy, training clothing when at home =) I'm not a big "trend follower", I go after feeling, what I like and what I think fits me, my style and personality well. So far, it seems to be working out! ^^
HAIRSTYLE
When I was younger I couldn't have the same hairstyle more than three months, something had to change. The fringe, the length...now, it's quite the opposite. I like my hair long, wavy if not completely curly, sometimes braided or in a high ponytail. That's it, I like it and it has become kind of my signature hairstyle. I'm also extremely weak for headbands, so you'll be seeing a lot of those too! =)
HAIRPRODUCTS
The best duo! Love Batiste's Blush dry shampoo, which keeps my hair fresh, lifts it up and makes it smell beautiful on the days when I don't have time to jump in the shower. Schwarzkopf's Oil elixir is the one that makes my hair soft and shiny and keeps my ends from splitting, basically my hair's best friend! =)
MAKE UP
I've never been a huge make up fan or the like, but I always wear a hydrating cream, a foundation to keep all the dust and pollution away from my skin pores and a mascara! For a more special occasion a thick eyeliner always follows! ;) On the photo you see my favourites at the moment which I strongly recommend! =)
NAILPOLISH
I don't wear much make up, but, I love nailpolish! I change the colour of my nails once or twice a week. My favourites at the moment are this orange from H&M, called "U r smokin' hot" and the lovely mint from Depend!
How does your " At The Moment" list look like! Share!
I found out about this competition recently and since I myself am entereing, I decided to share it with you guys! Bloglovin' and Hossintropia.com are joining forces and giving you (us) a chance to win a wish outfit from www.hossintropia.com. Read more about it here. I was thinking about Swedish midsummer while putting this outfit together. Easy, flowy yet chic with a goddes-like feel. The lace dress is a dream and paired with the headband the goddes look is complete. The boots make the outfit perfect for a day on the country side, still keeping it chic with all that sparkle. The cardigan makes a great addition during the evening, when it get chilly and you just want to cuddle up and get warm. All the neccessery things for sleeping over, like make up and the like, will fit in the amazing, studded bag. I can deffinitely see myself wearing this one summer day because it is so me, and will deffinitely try to put together something similar from my own closet soon!
I've wanted a long, crochet skirt for a while now. Those that I've seen so far have been out of my price range, but the other day, with the start of all the sales I decided to have a look again and found this one from riverisland.com. Sheer perfection. Just hope they'll still have my size until the end of the month!!! =) Anyways, if I get my hands on it, this is how I'll match it, fringe, suede, chockolate brown and Native American-inspired jewelry! What do you think ?!?
Here is the second thing that arrived in my Romwe package! A long, lacy vest. It will be perfect for bohemian-hippie inspired outfits this summer! I see a bright future ahead! =)
I recieved a package from Romew.com today! How I've waited!!! I've got some lovely things , and this necklace, with "Fatima's Hand" as a pendant, was also lying there! Love necklaces where the pendant has a certain symbollic, a meaning! How about you ?!?
Lots of awesome and cool news at H&M's web-shop today! Fell inlove with all the oieces you see in the collage, but only two ended up in my shopping bag! Can you guess which ?!? Is there something that would end up in your shopping bag ?!?

Was out the whole day and then was at a graduation party during the evening, so didn't manage to post anything! So today, you'll see yesterday's outfit and details...the last consisted of my favourite antique gold rings, bracelets and necklace. I borrowed the fringe bag from my mom. Really need to get a black, fringe handbag!
What do you think sweeties ?!?

You all know by now how much I love the pieces from spelldesigns.com, the clothing, as well as the accessories. As the weather is now, dark, rainy and a bit chilly....I wouldn't mind this outfit today or even tomorrow! The carigan looks really coasy and I love that it is knitted and long...and that pheasnat feather print - inspired skirt is just amazing! =)
I often get asked about my hair colour, which dye I'm using and how I take care of my hair.
The truth is - I don't do very much. I use the Schwarzkopf Briliance hair dye in "Cashmere Red". They stopped producing them for a while and I couldn't find the right colour, until I went to Macedonia. So the last year or so I've been using "Cahmere Red" from Schwarzkopf, but form another line of their dyes, which I had bought in Macedonia.
I wash my hair two-to-three-times a week and use the Schwarzkopf "Ultimate Repair" shampoo and conditioner. These don't only repair your hair, but make it silky and flowy as well, which I love. After washing my hair I spray two-to-three drops of Schwarzkopf's Daily hair elixir, which helps repair your broken hair tips and softens the hair. You can use the elixir before washing your hair, but the effect is greater and faster when applied on wet, towel-dreid hair.
I've never used a shampoo that is supposed to keep the red pigment longer, since I'm very satisfied with the dye I'm using. The colour and its intensity lasts very long and if it weren't for the new hair growing I wouldn't need to dye my hair once or twice a month. The dye is of high quality and I strongly recommend it to all of you who want to use it! =)
Since I'm done, or almost done, with my Bachelor degree, my parents decided to treat me for my achievement. I got this golden watch together with a ticket for ten days in Macedonia (I planned to stay in Sweden this summer). I am indescribably happy and grateful! Love you guys!!!
Yeah...lazy summer days....I'm so tired of studying right now and to top it over with work, doesn't make the situation easier. But, hey, it's almost over. Here's a moddboard for inspiration!
I absolutely love all the photos, there is something special about them, don't you agree ?!?
What I really need right now: 30 degrees C, hot sand between my feet, lying on the beach, reading a good book and sipping ice tea!!!! Please, someone!!!
This is so typical me. Summer is just around the corner and I'm drawn to black. I'm always drawn to black. It is when I always feel me, colour that always works and always sends the right mood, varying with styling.
I wish I had this on me today, but, unfortunately, I'm sating in and studying for the last exam for this year!
I got this bracelet from a dear friend of mine, Hana, as a present. When I wore it the other day I realized that I haven't shown it to you guys! I really like the chunky beads! Thanks Hana! <3
Tye dye is a trend that comes and goes, but it has been here for two seasons now and it seems like it wants to stay! I like it! The colourful tye dye reminds me of the 70's while the black/blue and white reminds me of the 90's. An era that I love and an era that I grew up in.
Dip dye is a trend I prefer more, especially the gradually fading or enhancing of a colour. I have a several tye dye and dip dye project plans which I'll get started with when all my exams are done! Look forward to play with denim and chlorine! =)
What do you think ? Tye dye, dip dye...or both ?!?
Since I have got some nasty cold, which has stayed with me over the past few days and it doesn't seem to want to let go...I'm drawn to my all-time-favourite when it comes to dressing. Black and white in combination with silver jewelry. Yup, as simple as that =) You'll se the whole outfit later today, as usual! =)
I received one really exciting mail yesterday where I was informed that I had won a Romwe Giveaway on Romwe's Facebook page. I recieved $80 gift card and a pair of sunnies! =) You can't imagine how happy I am!!! It didn't take long before I clicked these three pieces home! =) A small update on my summer wardrobe!!!
I recieved this skirt the other day (a gift) and I fell for it bad! The chiffon gives it an amazing flow and the asymmetric fishtail is what makes this skirt so lovely! =) I have a feeling that you'll see this in an outfit really soon, since the skirt is too pretty to just sit in the closet ;)
