I don't always post black and white photos, but I do feel that they bring a different feeling to the photo and tell a different story. I really like when the right message is portraied in a photo that is black and white, like these on the moodboard.
I don't know if you remember this, but I saw this top at a Facebook page of a girl that who has her own label and makes custom designed clothes. The brand is called Handmade Eden and you can see more here.
I saw this top and fell for it immediately. My b'friend's parents were kind enough to get it for me (thank you so much again!) and I received it last week. It's not right for the hot weather right now, but it is perfect for chilly nights.
I love the fluffy material and the lace cut-out ! It is just as I imagined it. What do you think ?!?
Never been a person that falls for bright, candy colours. My eyes opened lately to the tye dye-trend done in varous bright colours. I'd really like to try this, especially on a tank top, to a very 70's - hippie inspired outfit.
This is more or less how I look in the summer. A tank top or a tee, in all possible materials, a pair of shorts and a long vest or cardigan. This is always paired with boots, a bag and lots of jewelry. I do like to mix all this up by wearing dresses in varous sizes and tunics, but it all sums up to a tee, shorts and a pair of boots.
I absolutely love my new tunic form the latest Conciouss Collection by H&M. The crochet edges and the lovely white emroidering make it dreamy and it kind of reminds me of Macedonian folklore wear, but with white, embroidered flowers, in stead of red =)
Even if I was very satisfied and happy living in a world with my favourite and the perfect copy of this perfume, I'm in Nirvana now. I got this, my favourite perfume, from the b'friend, as our anniversary present! Thank you hun! You are the best! =))) <3
A bag is the piece of accessoar that brings completness to an outfit. I've always loved fringe bags, since they seem to have that little extra touch. The best ones are in suede, decorated with beads, studs and feathers, preferrably brown, but any colour works!
I already own two, but wouldn't mind to have two more =)))
What do you think ?!? Is a fringe bag something for you or not ?!?
Me and the b'friend are celebrating our seventh anniversary today! Can't believe that seven years have passed! Happy anniversary honney!!! =) Love you! =)
You all know by now how I feel about crochet (love it!). Another thing I love is cardigans! It is the perfect thing that makes an outfit complete. You can wear just the usual tank top or tee with a pair of denim cut off's (like on the photos), thow a cardi on and you look great! The outfit is even more fullfulled if the cardi has a pattern and texture, this is where a crochet cardigan fits perfectly!!! =)
This one is from Only, you can find it at Nelly.com....and I wish I didn't have a shop-stop so I could click it home to me! It is so beautiful!!!! Don't you think ?!?

I really, really wish I could go out in the sun, looking like this today, byt, unfortunatelly, I'm staying in and writing my bachelor thesis. The good thing is that it will be over soon and I will be free! =)))
Today's details are something you are going to see a lot from this summer! I'm completely in love with the combination of brown and white, which will be even more perfect when I get a bit tanned. =)
I remember when I was thirteen/fourteen and I wanted a pair of really wide pants. It was impossible to find them in any store and in the end I went to my grandmother, who is a tailor, if she could sew me a pair. I didn't even had to buy fabric, since she had some left over, it was sandy brown and in the perfect, flowy material.
Those were my most favourite pants ever...I wanted to wear them every.single.day! After a year, or so, I got tired of them, didn't want to see them ever again =) and that's what happened, until couple of months ago!
Started searching for a pair in the perfect, flowy material, but with a nice print as well. The search resulted into these, which you saw me wearing here.
Cowboy boots are a specific style of riding boot, worn by cowboys. They have a Cuban heel, rounded to pointed toe, high shaft, and traditionally, no lacing. Cowboy boots are normally made from cowhide leather, but are also sometimes made from "exotic" skin such as alligator, snake, elephant etc. Nowadays they are made with a lower shaft and a slightly less pointed toe, sometimes even squared.
Any form, shape, colour or shaft....I love my self a cowboy boot! I already own a couple, but I wouldn't mind haven a whole closet of them! This is something I wish to achieve some day ( really ambitious, isn't it? ;)
How do you feel about the cowboy boots...tell me! =)
Crystalls and precous gems have always fascinated me. I've always appreciated the "story" behind them, their chemical consistance and beauty. Never experianced the healing effect, but I love them as jewelry or as a home decoration.
Since I posted this, I started thinking about all the crochet pieces that I own. Came up to ten , which is pretty good, since I tought I had less.
I love crochet, which you might have guessed by now =). Love the different patterns one can get out of it and the different ways crochet pieces can be used =)
What I'm missing in my small "crochet-collection" is a pair of crochet flares, crochet shoes and a crochet belt. Hmm...writing them on the list as we "speak" =)
How about you? Is crochet something that can be found in your closet or not ?
I wanted a beaded belt for a long time, but those that I had stumbled upon were out of my price range. But, I found this one while browsing though asos.com. It cost me one tenth of the ones I've checked out previously! =)
I love it! It will be well used! =) What do you think ?!?
Today you'll see one happy outfit! I call it "happy" since that's how I fellt while styling myself and afterwards wearing it! White crochet, happy-coloured print and silver jewelry are a part of today's details!
I realized that it has been a week now and I haven't shown what I came home with from Gekås / Ullared. I was pleasently suprised by the pretty pieces they had this time and it was a bit hard to decide what to get.
This was a deffinite shop, though. It's longer than the ones I have and it's in the perfect dusty pink shade!
I love brightening up the grey weather with my outfits! This time it is a new, printed blouse in happy colours, white pants, golden jewelry and brown accessories!
Today's outfit is a mix of fringe, crochet, prints, studs, beads and a furry bag! It really does sound a lot while listing, but this is my favourite outfit by far! I really fellt inspired while putting it together and you know what? "More is more is more" is deffinitely a moto I'll stick by! =)
Stay tuned for the whole outfit, which will come up a bit later, as usual! =)
I am a summer child! Sun, sand, sea, roadtrip, careless days, long nights....that's my thing!!! So during the summer, my bohemian-hippie-Native-American-inspired-style is enhanced and I love it.
Since today is grey and chilly I decided to share some outfit inspiration with you guys.
This is how I want to look like this summer..or, now, if possible!
I remeber when I was 14...I had a wrist filled with these, that I had shared with my friends. It was our summer thing, we wore them since school ended until it begun again. I am so happy to see them again! All the different colours, patterns and modifications! Already own a couple, but I intend to buy more or make some on my own !
I want a wrist full with friendship bracelets again! How about you ?!?
Keeping on the same track! Newness at Gina Tricot...besides all this, you can also find tank tops, with cool prints and patterns. The best thing with them, the deep back and the price (100 SEK).
I want them all! Imagina how perfect they'll be paired with round shades, cropped denim shorts and boots! =) What do you think ?!?
Gina Tricot has filled in their web-shop with some amazing pieces! Those that you see on the collage are some of my favourites!!! I wouldn't mind waking up tomorrow and seeing all of these in my closet! =)
The rain from yesterday continued today, it has been pouring the whole day and it doens't seem to want to stop! This makes it close to imposible to take photos outside, that is why you get one inside. Not so keen on it, but it works! =)
The rain that started last night continued in the mornining and the rest of the day! It calmed down couple of minutes before the shots were taken.
On days like these, I tend to go for simple outfits, it is like my inspiration is washed away with the rain. Being concious of that I decided to go for a bit chunkier accessories, though the whole outfit is in calm, earthy, nude tones!
What do you think ?!? Stay tuned for the whole outfit!!! =)
Today I'm mixing black and gold! I'm actually laughing while writing, since couple of years ago I would have never even tought about wearing gold! I still prefer silver though, but I've become more flexible when it comes to gold!
I got this nailpolish at Gekås yesterday! Only 10 SEK. Love the brighter shade of green! You can see another photo of my nails here =) What do you think ?!?
Beads!!! On tops, vests, dresses to bags, clutches and shoes, most often on jewelry! I love it! It looks so special! Wether it is done in strong colours and etnic prints or in nude scales, beads are really hot right now!
I need more of them in my closet, a belt is on it's way to me, but I'd preffer a pair of sandals now when summer is almost here !
Not so long ago I was featured in a Macedonian blog called Skopje Casual. It is driven by three girls, which are daily updating with inspirational photos and street style from the capital, Skopje, where they live!
I am so thankful that they contacted me and wanted to feature Ivanna's Closet on their blog!

Jackets. THE essentialls of a girl's closet! If you ask me, you should have at least one great leather jacket. It is such a piece that works always and can make any outfit. Besides the leather jacket, you should have a wollen coat, to wear during the winter days.
Besides those two, I would like to have a jacket in various materials, prints, forms, since the jacket can mean a lot for an outfit. It can break as often as it makes it!
Here are some of mine. As you see, I need a bit more colour in my jacket collection, a thing I'm working on =)
I'm off to Ullared today, to visit the big department store Gekås, from some shopping ;) The weather is not really on our side, but if it were, I'd love to go shopping dressed like this! =)
Just wanted to say welcome to all the new readers! Hope you like it here and that you'll keep checking in! And your comments, read them all, try to answer them all! They really make my day, so keep them coming! =)
Remember when I blogged about these here ?!? Never dreamed that I'll own them soon after =) It's just that I walk in at Bik Bok one day, they have 50% off on everything, spot them, grab my size, wait in the huuuge line and walk out there a pair of shoes richer! =)
They look amazing and are extremely comfortable! =)
Found this jacket at a random market a while ago! It was (is) exactly what I want! Brown, suede with fringe! It's the right size and it cost me only 20 SEK!
Here are my latest loves on my Fashiolista profile ! As you see, there is a lot of denim cutoffs, patterns, crochet, feathers, and jewelry. If you want to know where you can purchase something, check out my fashiolista here!
