Portraits

Hi everyone!
It's been a while since my last post, so as I've got some awesome pictures of my face, I thought it would be nice to drop them here and say hello.
You may have noticed in my description that I'm quite far away from home now, and I'm really just trying to gather nice experiences and enjoy the changes (all these between a quite big amount of assessments-related stress and some ever-lasting homesickness). Alex and I took these a few days ago and I hope you'll like the results as much as I did.





As always, thank you a lot for stopping by! If you like the photos above (of course you do), you can drop a like on Alex's page, Piece Of Art, and get more awesome shots on your news feed!
Have a great end of the year, everyone!
Hugs!

Choices

I would like to apologise for the offtopic post but I do feel that this has a place on my blog. I kindly ask you to quit reading this now if you are not interested.

"Why are you listening to that?"
"You know you are wasting your time, right?"
”How can you like that?”

I got this kind of questions every day. I am still getting them. Random people, friends, classmates, they were all making me feel bad and guilty for simply liking a thing that they do not like and listen to a kind of music that they do not fancy. They have never even tried to find out what that thing REALLY is about, but they are hating on it simply because everyone does. You are not interested? Ignore it. Right now I honestly feel that I need to explain and to highlight some things to certain people, that I had enough, and that's why this post came up. The thing is that, no matter how strong we are and how big our capacity to make it on our own is, we will always have our breakdowns and moments when we will need someone or something to help us get through. Some choose to drink, to smoke, and that's okay apparently. In one of those moments I chose a boyband to be my support. These five human beings below. That was not okay, apparently. Why?


People need to understand that we all have the right to make our own choices, choose our own happiness sources and that you don't have the right to judge things that are not affecting your life in any way.
If you don't understand "why" or "how" people do something, either ask or mind your own life. Making one feeling bad for being happy it is not okay. 
As human beings, we get attached to various things. We all know life well enough to know that you can't count on things or people staying around or standing still, no matter how much you want them to. And when something like this happens, no matter if it is about their hamster dying, their favourite TV series ending, their favourite blanket forgotten in the train or their best friend moving far away, make sure that you either give them an "it will be fine" hug or shut up if they are actually affected by it. Let them cry their hearts out, express themselves however they think it's right and make sure you are respectful, no matter how stupid the reason is to you.

Respect people's choices. Please. And thank you!

Snaps

Hi there!
 With all this gap year thing that I decided to take between high school and uni, my life got quite boring. Even if I have some things to work on until September comes, being at home almost all the time doesn`t feel that great. Quick escapes anytime, anywhere are some sort of life savers for me, and how these photos turned out good enough to put up some kind of outfit post, here we are.


A combination of basic items is always winning and I used lipstick / nail polish for the hint of color. I also really loved the maxi cardigan and high-waisted jeans combo and I`ll try that more often for sure.

Camaieu ankle boots | H&M jeans | Tally Weijl white tee | Stradivarius bag | Pull & Bear parka

I hope you enjoyed this post and that you had a great month so far!
Thank you for reading COAT!

Hugs!

Spring inspo

Hello everyone!
The february-march time of the year is the worst in my opinion, because I just can`t stand the crazy weather at all. I`m really trying to get the best of these two months anyway, and I`m going to start this with some spring inspo for your own spaces. 
I warn you that I am quite o...verattached (haha) to white walls, so get ready for that.



The photo below is probably my favourite of them all. It combines so well the pure, white space, with lovely plants and colourful decorations, and the blanket/pillows look incredibly cozy.

I love blankets. Really. Blankets are nice.


Let the sun in. Decorate. Redecorate. Fill things with love and don`t be afraid to change what you don`t like. Be happy!
And have a wonderful spring!
See you! Hugs and kisses!

Meteor shower

Here I am again. And the title of this post is perfect to make you understand how my thoughts are going around into my head right now. I really needed to share this in some way in order to be able to sleep tonight, and the option of writing this post was my first choice (well, the second; but the first one is actually taking a shower right now, haha). 
I don`t know if this is only happening to me, but sometimes I am just scared of what is going to come in the next few years and I just sit here thinking about random stuff for hours. And this, plus the fact that today was full of little random disappointments got my mood really low and got me feeling quite alone. Or lonely. Or maybe both. But writing always helps. You have no idea how much I want some years to go, and to find myself reading this with a big part of my life figured out. At the moment, I can only trust myself and work hard, I guess. If you are sharing my feelings right now, do the same thing. Make your goals clear, use every resource you have around and appreciate everything and everyone who`s making your days better. Be thankful for everything!
This being said, I feel way better. I guess this counts as a confession, right? Haha. If you made your way here and you actually read this, thank you a lot! Much love!

P.S.: reminder to myself to actually stare (literally, like... I don`t want to miss a thing) at a real meteor shower one day; I always miss those out. Have you ever seen one?

Birthday girl

Hi guys!
Another year passed for me today, and even if being 19 is a bit overwhelming, it also feels great. I am really thankful for all the things I have done, received and achieved so far, and I can`t wait to share more with you (I need your fingers crossed this year! Big challenges are coming!)
I had a great birthday, probably the best so far, this meaning that I spent my day laughing, receiving surprise birthday cakes at my door in the morning, cooking and watching cartoons with my lovely boyfriend, getting a lot of beautiful wishes and eating pizza. And I was really happy :) 
I would have loved to have a more consistent post (I miss outfit posts so bad), but for now I`ll just go with some snapshots from my phone (of course I`m showing off my gifts, I mean...who would not?).


Also, today COAT turns 3! How crazy is that?!
Thanks to everyone who made my day better! I am really blessed for all the great people in my life, for all the gifts and for a great birthday! All the best for you all!

See you with the next post!
Hugs!

Still alive

Happy New Year!
Hi guys! I wish you all the best in the year that has just started, a lot of courage to follow your dreams, health and happiness!
Yeah. I am still alive. And I just needed to post something. I don`t even know what this blog will be about in the following year, but it will be. I`ve spent the last hour looking back at all the posts and I realised that I won`t probably ever give up on blogging. What started as a wanna-be fashion blog now turned into a small piece of myself and I`m proud to be able to call it like that.
So random, right? Haha. Anyway, considering the things I wrote above, I really recommend `start my own blog` to be the header of your to-do list for this year.

And, of course, I can`t end this post without wishing a happy, happy birthday and all the best to my beautiful man :D (posting a random photo of us because, well, I can)

Byeee!
