You know the feeling when you look at the photos of homes you admire and keep asking yourself why they look so much better than yours? You have great furniture, rugs and freshly painted walls, so why doesn’t it feel like your Pinterest dream home?! Let`s be honest. There is no house that looks nice and organized all the time! After all, this is a place where we live, not a museum!

But, there is a way to achieve that look. Bloggers and designers use it all the time. I also get a lot of questions from my relatives and friend how I manage to get the look of the light, bright, organized and beautiful photos of my home. Some of them even think we don`t eat and cook there!! But we do! Every - single - day!

So, what`s the secret? When it comes to interior design everything is in the details!! Believe me, this is the whole truth! If you closely flip through my photos or photos in design magazines, you’ll notice a few tricks that makes all the difference from "nice space” to "omg - I want to live there!"

Today, I’m sharing all the little secrets I use every time I have a photo shoot, so stay tuned because this will completely transform the way your home looks once you try it.

1. Fresh Flowers and Plants are a must

Looks again your favorite homes on Pinterest or any issue of your interior design magazines and you’ll immediately notice that every room has flowers or plants. They add color, texture and breath of life into any space, so don`t hesitate to spend a little money on flowers because it will make a big impact in your space. Even a fresh brunches from your backyard will do the trick!

2. Dress Up Your Coffee and Accent Tables

Because it’s the centerpiece of the living space, how a coffee table (and accent tables) is styled can completely change the look of the room. 

It`s also one of the easiest ways to make your home look like a professionally designed space. Use trays or coffee table books to arrange accent pieces like candles, decorative objects or flowers. Try different groupings - from one single arrangement to three, four, or five, but be aware of size of your table. Just keep in mind that items you use are to scale to the table.

3. Use a Fresh Fruits and Vegetables on Kitchen Counters

Did you ever notice how beautiful kitchens always have a bowl of fresh fruit or vegetables elegantly displayed on the countertop? It makes a huge difference! I love using lemons, apples, or pomegranate (one of my personal styling favorites for the winter) This is the perfect way to add a pop of color and some extra visual interest. For extra texture add freshly baked cake or bread on a chopping board!

4. Layer In Pillows and Throw Blankets

As I said before, details can make or break a space. Pillows and throw blankets are one of important details you need for your main living space. If you want to have that instant "welcome to my cozy space" feeling, then brought in layers of textiles and cozy accessories. For throw pillows, I like to style with the rule of five: three pillows on one side and two on the other. Always try to have varied textures for your pillows and throws to add extra interest and dimension. This is especially important if you are using all neutral colors.

5. Spruce Up Your Open Shelving

Okay, let’s be honest, we all collect things and become very attached to them. They have a great sentimental value to us, but for the sake of a good design, it’s best to stay on a minimal side when it come to what to display on your open shelving. Always keep in mind to do less for the start to keep from overwhelming your living space. After all, you can always add more. If you have a large library and don`t like the colorful spines, try turning the spines of the books, so that the neutral pages are at the forefront. When it comes to adding the decorative pieces, group like items in odd numbers and try to have a variety of height. Also, make sure there’s a variety of items included in each arrangement, like books, sculptural pieces, plants, photos, candles.

6. Upgrade Your Bedroom

This is an easy one. Change your regular sheets and use the nice one. Add a ton of pillows on a bed and a nice throw blanket on a bench or chair (try just to loosely throw it on, instead of arranging it to much - it will look much more natural), add a little vase with a few flowers on a night stand and a nice piece of jewerly. Bonus tip: You can also add a tray with some fresh juice or coffee and a piece of pastries on a bad for an extra touch.

7. Polish Your Bathroom

For the bathroom it`s essential to be a spot on clean. Shine all the surfaces so they look nice and new (even if their not). If you can, create a harmonious color palette with your shower curtain, rugs and towels (add nice turkish towels if you can, they add so much texture and interest to the space - and they are super trendy). Display nice products and perfumes on the shelves and add candles on the bath tub for the spa feeling. For an extra touch and color add a bowl full of nice looking soaps and bath bombs. 
Last but not least, always use a natural day light if you making photos of your space, this is a best and totally free light you can use. 
Let me know what are your favorite tips or secrets and don`t forget to pin this for later!

Rosegal. com Review

Hi guys, today I`m coming at you with a Rosegal. com review! Remember my Rosegal wishlist - you can find it here. Back then I made my order from Rosegal, received it few days ago and wanted to share everything with you.

I ordered the bag, sunglasses and ring and I must say, I`m blown away! Especially with the bag!! It is the cutest and most adorable bag and it looks so much better then I was expected! I must say this bag is definitely inspired by Chanel tweed bag! You can see more about it in Fall/Winter trends - Luxury wishlist.

It`s a mini crossbody bag in of white and main material is tweed, so I figured it can be perfect for year around. Size is 19-8-15 and it comes with a beautiful gold strap (120 cm). Although it`s a small bag, you can fit a lot in it, like phone, keys, wallet, small makeup bag... Price is $23.83.

You can find more about the bag here.

I was not sure about this Audrey Hepburn cat eye sunglasses (I ordered mine in light yellow), but there are really nice. There are lightweight and comfortable to wear and looking pretty good on me. Price is $6.40. You can find more about them here.

 

Finally, few words about the ring. It`s in rhinestone cuff ring in gold with a "XO" sign and I really like it! Price is $0.89. More about it find here. 

All in all, I would definitely recommend Rosegal.com. As always, please get in touch if you’ve ordered from the website and show me your spoils! 

So guys, what do you think? What`s your favorite? Comment down below or send me a tweet to @homechicclub! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, wishing you a great day! xoxo

Make 2017 Your Best Year Yet - Goals and Progress

Did you set a ton of resolutions at the beginning of 2016, and when you look back on it now, you find another year flew by without achieving it? Yesterday I opened my 2016. planner and see them. Very good goals, but a achieve just a few. Yes, that happens to all of us. It’s okay. Sometimes we can be so hard to ourselves that the moment we mess up, we give up entirely! But, it doesn`t have to be that way. We learn from our mistakes, don`t we? So, instead of giving up, we need to promise to make 2017 our best year ever. Here is how I am planning to make the new year count.

Da li ste na početku prethodne godine doneli tonu odluka i zacrtali svoje ciljeve? I sada, kada ste se osvrnuli unazad, shvatili ste da je proletela još jedna godina a da ih niste ostvarili. Ja sam juče otvorila svoj planer i ugledala moje. Sjajni ciljevi, ali ja sam ostvarila tek nekoliko. Da, to se dešava svima. I potpuno je u redu. Problem je u tome što ponekad, kada u nečemu pogrešimo, dižemo odmah ruke i odustajemo od svega. Ali, ne mora uvek da bude tako. Jer svi učimo iz sopstvenih grešaka, zar ne? Zato, umesto da odustanemo, moramo sada obećati sebi da će 2017. biti naša najbolja godina do sada. Evo kako ja planiram da je učinim važnom. 

Have financial goals

New year is a perfect time to start a thinking about your financial goals and improve your finances this year. Start planning your budget, start saving for something, or paying off your debt. My idea is to spend less and try to have a good spending plan so I can track every cent and be in a control.

Postavite finansijske ciljeve

Početak godine je savršen trenutak da razmislite o svojim finansijskim ciljevima i tome kako da ih unapredite. Počnite da planirate svoj budžet, štedite za nešto što vam je bitno ili otplatite neki dug. Moj cilj je da trošim manje, da planiram svoje troškove tako da znam gde ide svaki dinar i tako ostanem u kontroli nad svojom situacijom.

Try to progress at work (school)

Do you want to do same exact thing your entire life? Or to be a student that never stand out among others? Of course not! We all know people who give up on them self and never get promoted. Being stagnant at work is not a good idea. You lose your motivation and passion for the job. And your boss probably will notice. And that is not a good thing, we all know that. So, whether you are at job or at school, find the way to progress whether it means asking for more responsibility at your current job (school), taking advantage of educational and training opportunities, or looking for a new job that inspire you to grow. 

Pokušajte da napredujete na poslu (u školi)

Da li želite da ostanete na istoj poziciji celog života? Ili da budete student koji se nikada ni po čemu nije izdvojio od ostalih? Naravno da ne! Svi znamo takve ljude koji su digli ruke od sebe i nisu nikada napredovali. Ali biti na istom mestu na poslu i nije najbolja ideja. Vaši šefovi će to sigutno primetiti, a to, kao što znate, nije dobro za vas. Zato, bilo da se radi o poslu ili školi, nađite načina da napredujete bilo da se radi o preuzimanju novih ili većih odgovornosti, korišćenju mogućnosti dodatnog obrazovanja ili obuke ili kroz traženje novog posla koji će vas inspirisati da napredujete.

Try making money on the side

This is the best way to reach both financial and professional goals. Making extra money every month is not that difficult. You could get a second job, start a blog or make money from your hobby. The possibilities are endless! This will make you proud of your self and give you the motivation to do more. 

Pokušajte da ostvarite dodatnu zaradu

Ovo je najbolji način da ostvarite oba prethodna cilja. Zarađivanje sa strane nije baš toliko teško. Možete naći dodatni posao, napraviti blog ili zarađivati preko svog hobija. Mogućnosti su nebrojene. Ovo će vas učiniti ponosnim na sebe i daće vam motivaciju da radite više i bolje.

Do what you love - make time for your hobbies 

Working a full-time job (attending a school) with all the side hustle can be very stressful. This is why is so important to have some "ME" time and do what you love.  It will make you happy and peaceful and help you focus more on your life.

Zaposlenje ili školovanje, uz sve ostale svakodnevne obaveze može biti vrlo stresno. Zato je veoma važno da stvorite vreme samo za sebe i radite ono što volite. To će vas učiniti srećnijim, opuštenijim i pomoći vam da se bolje fokusirate na svoj život.

Try to workout regularly

I know, it`s not always fun thing to do, but it`s very good to you. If you`re like me, you will find yourself seating all day. Blogging can consume a lot of time in front of the computer, you all know that. After I finish, I feel pain in my neck, in my back and feel very weak. So, no matter how much busy are you, try to find time for working out. It really pays off! I try to walk every afternoon for a few miles, and it makes me so much better and stronger. 

Znam da vežbanje nije najzabavnija stvar na svetu za većinu nas, ali je zato dobro za sve. Ako ste kao ja, ponekad ćete uhvatiti sebe da ste presedeli čitav dan. Pisanje bloga i ostale aktivnosti koje zahteva, na primer, umeju da me prukuju uz kompjuter satima. Nakon što završim, boli me vrat, leđa i osećam se uopšte prilično loše. Zato, bez obzira koliko ste zauzeti, pokušajte da nađete malo vremena za vežbanje. Zaista se isplati! Ja se trudim da svakoga dana pešačim po nekoliko kilometara i nakon toga se zaista osećam mnogo bolje i jače. 

Try to get more sleep

We all have bad habit of staying late almost every night. And then waking up late or early, but very tired. But, if you go to sleep earlier and get up early in the morning, you will find out that you have so much more time for everything. And it`s good for your health too. You don`t have to get up 2-3 hours immediately, try with 15 - 30 minutes and you`ll see that you can accomplish way more in the morning than you could accomplish at night.  

Skoro svi imamo lošu naviku da ostajemo budni do kasno u noć. I potom se budimo kasno ili rano, ali veoma umorni i pospani. Ali ako nateramo sebe da odemo na spavanje ranije i ustanemo ranije, shvatićemo da imamo mnogo više vremena za sve. Pored toga, to je veoma dobro i za naše zdravlje. Ovo ne znači da odmah morate da pomerite vreme ustajanja za 2 ili 3 sata, za početak pokušajte sa 15 - 30 minuta i videćete da ujutru možete da postignete mnogo više za kraće vreme nego uveče. 

At the end I just wanted to remind you not to give up on your dreams and just do the best you can! And remember, no one is perfect and everyone can fail, but that`s not the reason not to try. Because, if you don`t try, you will never succeed!

My goal is to try everything I can to improve my life and become a better person. What`s your goals for 2017?

Na kraju želim da vas podsetim da nikada ne odustajete od svojih snova i da jednostavno uvek dajete sve od sebe da ih ostvarite. I zapamtite da niko nije savršen i svako može da pretrpi neuspeh, ali to nije razlog da ne pokušate. Zato jer, ako ne pokušate, nikada nećete ni uspeti! Moj cilj je da ove godine učinim sve što mogu da unapredim svoj život i postanem bolja osoba.

Koji su vaši ciljevi u 2017?

Designers At Fingertips with StyleWe*

Hello lovely people! For those of you who are new to my blog, welcome. Today I wanted to share really interesting online store StyleWe! If you never heard about them, StyleWe is an online fashion shopping platform featuring independent fashion designers. Their goal is to provide original, high quality and exclusive products from independent designers from around the world. General idea is to empower designers, so that they doesn`t stay hidden behind the brand and have possibilities to directly communicate with customers. With this idea on mind, fashion would be personal and diversified and wouldn`t be just for rich and famous, but for everyone. So, that`s why their motto is:

 "At StyleWe, we believe that every customer should truly enjoy 

Designers at Your Fingertips."

Zdravo dragi moji! Za one koji su prvi put na mom blogu, dobro došli. Danas želim da sa vama podelim jednu interesantu online prodavnicu StyleWe! Ako niste čuli za njih, StyleWe je online prodavnica i modna platforma koja radi sa nezavisnim dizajnerima. Njihov cilj je da pruže kupcima originalne, kvalitetne i ekskluzivne proizvode dizajnirane od nezavisnih modnih dizajnera iz celog sveta. Ideja kojom se rukovode je da pruže tim dizajnerima veću moć da iskažu svoju kreativnost, a da ne budu "nevidljivi" iza imena brenda, kao i da komuniciraju sa kupcima neposredno. Uz takav pristup, interakcijom dizajnera i kupaca, modni trendovi bi bili više personalizovani i ne bi bili privilegija samo moćnih i bogatih, već dostupni svima. Zbog toga je njihov moto:

 "Mi verujemo da svakom kupcu treba da bude dostupan 

Dizajner na Dodir Prstom!" 

(ovo je moj slobodan prevod, hahaha...)

While I was browsing their site, I find really cute thing. First thing I noticed is that they have a great and amazing new collection of sweater dresses! Don`t know about you, but I love sweater dresses. They are worm, casual and comfortable and absolutely great for day time at any occasion. They have 402 in total, which means so many designs, colors and styles. Here`s some of my favorites. 
Dok sam pretraživala njihovu stranicu, naišla sam na neke zaista simpatične stvarčice. Prvo što sam primetila su džemper haljine! Ne znam za vas, ali  ja ih zaista obožavam, naročito kada dođe malo hladnije vreme. Tople, meke, udobne i opuštene i apsolutno sjajne za sve dnevne aktivnosti i prilike. Obzirom da imaju 402 haljine ukupno, možete da zamislite koliko vrsta dizajna, boja i stilova je u ponudi. Evo nekih koje su se meni dopale.

Black Ribbed Casual Half Sleeve Knitted Sweater Dress

White H-line Simple Angora-blend Sweater Dress

Light Blue Knitted Batwing Casual Ribbed Sweater Dress

Another great thing I find is that they provide you with some really great tips for style on their blog. You can find all kind of useful tips in beauty, fashion, makeup, skincare, lifestyle etc. You can also find really interesting posts about celebrities, new trends, travel and food ideas, or even wedding plans.  

Druga sjajna stvar vezana za njih je da na njihovom blogu možete pronaći i savete za stil. Ima zaista zanimljivih saveta iz oblasti kozmetike,  mode, šminke, nege, načina života itd. Ima i vrlo interesantnih postova vezanih za poznate ličnosti, nove trendove, putovanja, kuhinju, pa čak i saveta za uspešno planiranje venčanja.

Last, but not list don`t forget to check their offer for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!! They have so many lovely dresses and I`m sure you`ll find something you love for the great price. So hurry up and find your perfect dresses. Let me know what do you think? What is your favourite?

Naposletku želim da napomenem i odličnu ponudu za Black Friday and Cyber Monday!! Na sniženju su brojne haljine, pa verujem da svako može da pronađe nešto za sebe i to po vrlo pristupačnoj ceni. Zato, ako tražite nešto za sebe, obavezno pogledajte njihovu ponudu i javite mi šta se vama najviše dopalo.
