Since I still didn't shed all of my maternity weight one of my new years decisions was most definitely to speed it up so I can get my Spring fashion going! 😃
What I am trying to do is to avoid dinner and not to eat after 6pm, I have to say I haven't managed to work out daily as my boyfriend is traveling frequently but I did loose bread from my menu as well as sweets and the rest of the 'bad' carbs and saturated fats.
This salad fits right into my diet and it's also a great, protein rich meal for my athlete boyfriend. People who are not accustomed to cooking with quinoa are sometimes afraid to try but it's really super easy to cook. You just rinse quinoa and cook it in double amount water and that's it!
The great thing about quinoa salad is that it's easy to make and it keeps longer then green leaf salads and it actually fills you up even without bread and can serve as a full meal. It's really easy to customize so if you want you can also really put any veggies you like into it you don't have to do the ones I listed below. You can easily play with adding grilled chicken to it if you can't live without meat, otherwise this is a great vegetarian dish as well.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup of well rinsed quinoa
1 small eggplant diced in small pieces
1 zucchini sliced or diced in bite size pieces
1/2 of medium squash (or you can use 1 sweet potato)
1 cup of halved grape tomatoes or diced regular tomatoes
2 tbsp of fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp of fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoon of pine nuts or sunflower seeds, toasted
Crumble feta cheese (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Dressing:
2 tbsp of olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
juice of 1 medium lemon
1 clove of garlic pressed
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 220C/425F. Put the diced vegetables in large bowl and sprinkle with 2tbsp of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
2. Line two large baking dishes with baking paper. Divide the vegetables on two large baking dishes in a way that you have enough space in between them and it's not packed otherwise some pieces might come out raw. Bake on second and third rack of the oven together for about 20-30minutes, after 20 minutes check to see if soft and beginning to brown, if not leave a bit longer. Set aside to cool.
3. Cook quinoa by rinsing it first in water and then cook 1/3 cup of quinoa in 2/3 cup water (use double the water of what you have quinoa) and bring to boil on medium high temperature. Cover and reduce temperature to low and cook for another 15 more minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool a bit.
4. Toast the seeds (pine nuts or sunflower seeds) on a hot pan (medium high) for about 5-10 minutes or until they get brown color or you can smell the fragrance. Set aside.
5. Wisk together in the salad serving bowl pressed garlic and lemon juice lightly, slowly poor 2 tbsp of olive oil and continue mixing into coherent mixture. Add to it sliced tomatoes, quinoa, washed and cut into pieces fresh basil and mint leaves, add roasted vegetables and toasted pine nuts. Season all with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese, toss well and try it. If you want it more zesty add another squeeze of lemon.
This fabulous salad serves great as a side dish with meat for lunch or dinner or you can eat it as a meal on it's own. Keep it in the fridge up to 3 days.
Bon appetite my ladies!
Joanna Kruczek is well known Polish handbag designer who's work I first learned about through working with her on Trendcy. I was really drawn to her bags as they look and feel unique both in the way they are made, using high quality materials but also with innovative usage approach which I always admire.
Joanna designs handbags, suitcases and leather accessory for men and women and she is the only Polish designer who has patented (all through European Union) her two most popular handbag designs: ORIGAMI and WOMEN.
Her starting point when designing a new bag is the culture. The culture of the bag in specific country thus Joanna considers herself as equally cultural anthropologist and an accessory designer.
THE WOMEN BAG
I was specifically interested in Joanna's patented The Women bag so I had a quick chat with designer to learn about her inspiration.
This bag shape and black patent leather reminded me of the bag Angelina Jolie wore during one of her secret agent missions as Mrs.Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie. I remember she used the handbag to escape the murder scene by jumping from the tall building window using it's multi-functionality as the bag had the wire rope mechanism inside.
 |
| The Women bag comes in white and black patent leather, red patent leather with fur and cream color |
Joanna pointed out that the bag is made out of genuine leather and finished with luxurious satin silk lining by the house of Armani. All of the materials used for the bag are imported from Milan. While the bag is made by the best Polish craftsmen.
"For the Women bag I was inspired by the harmony of the female body.
The Women bag thanks to its unique shape also seems to remind people on guitar, cello, pear. It's fascinating for me to discover the bag's new meanings for shoppers."
While working on designing The Women bag Joanna was thinking about what would be considered the shape of femininity and what is the importance of femininity in the world today, both for men and women.
THE 'IDEAL' WOMEN BAG CUSTOMER
During design process Joanna always has the modern women in mind, who will be looking for a unique handbag, to express her unique personality. She also had in mind the fact that a modern women needs a practical bag which she can use daily.
"When I dress up in the morning. A bit differently probably then most women I start by choosing a bag and then build my outfit around it."
This 'ideal customer' is a resident of a large city, she loves to play with fashion, she admires haute-couture but what she looks to wear is her own version of ready to wear. She looks to wear clothing to express her personality, not just to showcase current fashion trends.

The rabbit meat is low in fat and high in protein thus it's perfect meat choice for kids and athletes. It also has less cholesterol and it's the lowest in calories and fats vs. chicken, beef and pork while it's also higher in protein value then turkey. Rabbit meat is high in B12 vitamin and low in sodium.
There is a fabulous organic grocery next to my house and they have really good meat selection so once I learned that rabbit meat is as easy to prepare as chicken but carries much more nutritional value so it's perfect for babies (Anabela is now 10.5 months) and also athletes such as my boyfriend, I decided to give it a try.
After making this simple recipe, we continued to use rabbit on our menu once a week along with Argentinian beef, organic turkey and salmon as my top meat choices when cooking for my boyfriend.
Rabbit is frequently prepared in Italy so if you don't like to use wine you can prepare it with tomato sauce, mustard sauce or if you are making it for a child you can just prepare it simply over olive oil as you would chicken.
INGREDIENTS
1 Rabbit cut into pieces (I used boneless white meat)1/4 cup of olive oil
1.5 cup of chicken stock
1 cup white whine
1 onion chopped
1 carrot chopped
3 cloves of garlic chopped
1 celery stock chopped
1 tbsp of dry rosemary (I used 3 fresh branches)
A bit of flour for coating
salt and pepper to taste
Optional spices:
4 whole cloves
2-3 bay leaves
1 tbsp of fresh cilantro
DIRECTIONS
1. Wash rabbit meat and pat it dry with paper towel. Coat the pieces with flour and shake them of to loose any extra flour on it.2. Heat a large pan over medium high, add olive oil on hot pan and brown rabbit pieces slowly one by one over medium heat, turning them until equally browned on all sides. Place all done rabbit pieces and keep them on the hot plate.
3. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan and add all vegetables (onion, carrot, garlic, celery) and rosemary and sauté it in a pan for about 5-7 minutes or until soft.
4. Add white wine and deglaze the pan (scrub the pieces that are stuck to the bottom of the pan with a spatula into sauce) add white wine, bay leaves, rabbit pieces and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add chicken stock to the mix so rabbit meat is well covered with fluid. Continue to cook for about an hour adding chicken stock per need basics, depending how much sauce you want but you don't need to add it all. Continue cooking for about 1 hour slowly over medium heat.
Serve with polenta, rice or pasta.
I hope you dare to try this recipe, you will love it I promise!
Did you know that the fashion industry is the second largest consumer and polluter of water in the world right after the oil industry? Shocking right?!
Fashion industry yearly releases tons of hazardous chemicals into environment. While all of the unsold clothing are also dumped into landfills creating more waste and releasing more chemicals into environment resulting with enormous carbon footprint.
"It can still take more than 5,000 gallons of water to manufacture just a T-shirt and a pair of jeans."
It's funny how we are more and more conscious (luckily) and want to know where our food comes from and how it's been grown while we don't necessarily question the pesticides (used in cotton farming) and chemicals (from toxic fabric color dyes used in manufacturing) our skin is absorbing through the clothing we spend the whole day in.
IS FASHION REALLY A DIRTY BUSINESS?
Currently, textile waste represents the biggest growing waste in the Europe. Shopping has become a way of life in many western countries, a weekly pastime and for many an addiction. Sadly, consequences are much greater then a maxed out credit card.
“Fast fashion” is a 10 year old trend where cheap and disposable clothing is designed to be moved as quickly as possible from catwalk to store and to consumer. Such pieces mostly fall apart after just a several washes, obviously, so you can replace them with new ones.
This fast turnover doesn't do anyone any good (well other then the fast fashion company owners), ultimately it is accelerating carbon emissions and global warming, you are left with cheap clothing made to be disposable, loaded with chemicals and pesticides which (let's be honest) also looks quite cheap no matter how you style it.
PUPPA - ZERO WASTE STRATEGY & UPCYCLING.
Puppa is under the radar upcycling fashion company from Slovenian Pomurje -a region with a long textile making tradition. The company prides itself on valuing their employees with fair salaries and empowering working conditions thus keeping the jobs in the local community.
Puppa makes fabulous clothing sustainably, ethically and with zero waste. Their goal is to show that making and wearing sustainable clothing can be also very chic and trendy.
All of the Puppa apparel is created in sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. The brand has developed production process based on upcycling where pre-existing materials (rescued dead-stock) is used to make new clothing pieces. By doing so, less waste is generated and less water is consumed in production process thus there is less pollution coming from clothing production.

On top, the brand developed Zero waste production process using applications created out of leftover material to design new designs and no further material scraps are going to waste. How fabulous is that? 😃
Puppa is really re-loving ♡ unused fabrics and creating trendy designs with lots of positive energy injected into it.

The only way to force fast fashion to change production process is by changing our consumer way of thinking and our shopping behavior. We should be equally conscious about what kind of chemicals we are exposing our body (and our fashion style frankly) to through clothing we are buying and wearing. The women looks endlessly more trendy wearing a few classic high quality items then piling on new 'current trend' junk on every few weeks and then disposing it.
I personally have quite a romantic way of thinking about fashion, maybe a bit foolish, I take time to care about the clothing, accessory and jewelry I own and think about my daughter playing dress ups and proudly wearing my clothing when she grown into a young lady.
Do you think about what you shop and wear ladies?
Long time no post!
Do you remember that old school childhood excuse 'a dog ate my homework'? Well, I got equally creative one but mine is sadly true, my daughter chew through my computer charger and I had to have it fixed as it seems like her saliva did a number on my Mac laptop + I needed to buy a new charger. To make things worse, day after the did the same thing to my boyfriend on his laptop. Yes, it appears our 10 month old daughter is way smarter then two of us 'trying to be good parents'. 😃
Anywho....I am back to posting and kicking it off with suggestion of 3 Christmas looks for different celebratory modes.

It's finally here! Long awaited (on my end particularly 😀) limited edition LaKatWalk Women's planner for 2017. This is the 3rd year I am privileged to have the opportunity to design my own limited edition Women's planner.
- In 2015, I collaborated with designers David Wyatt and Gianluca Soldi behind the fashion brand The Wandering Collective to illustrate a cover with me wearing their famous maxi silk 'egg' dress and their gorgeous blue leather sandals for the back cover.
- Next in 2016, I continued with illustration again and collaborated with American illustrator Jessica Marie who illustrated myself again walking down the street with my dog Papi.
- This year for 2017 edition I worked with extremely talented Croatian artist Josipa Maras who is also a designer who designed remaining of the 2017. planner covers and illustrated inside of the planner with more then 157 calendar appropriate & very fashionable illustrations.
WHAT IS WOMEN'S PLANNER?
The Women's Planner is an agenda adjusted to the needs of the modern woman. It measures (110 x 170 mm | 4.3 inch x 6.6 inch) fit in most handbags while it's unique contents make it easier to organize business and private life.
It stands apart for the little make up retouch mirror on the inside of the cover, an elastic closing band and two ribbon bookmarks.
Beside a weekly calendar planner, it contains many interesting sections that make it more personal and special than other conventional planners.
Some of its sections are: pms calendar, medical appointments calendar, seasonal shopping list, coloring pages, vacation checklist, list of titles of books or movies you wish to read/see and the list of decisions and priorities for the new year make this planner a kind of half-diary that becomes a handbag essential in no time.
The contents of the planner are divided into personal details, personal interests, reminders, year planner and pages devoted to personal development, as well as notes on the monthly budget.
The Women's Planner is made entirely in Croatia, partially handmade. It is a protected brand registered with the Croatian patent office. It is the first planner with such contents and in such form in the Croatian market. Currently it comes in Croatian, Bosnian and English language with 5 covers (including LaKatWalk) in English and 8 in other 2 languages.
Women's planner is now a household brand name among women in Croatia and the region and every fashionistas handbag essential thanks to endlessly talented and truly beautiful lady, a creator of Women's planner brand - Dunja Tadić.
(See!!! She is a total babe!😍 )
2017 THEME: POWER WOMEN, EMPOWER WOMEN.
The 2017. planner theme is 'Power Women Empower Women' and it represents a homage to all of the women who worked together on the Women's planner through the years to create this truly unique planner, a planner with a heart, as many call it. A planner with a cult following all through the region where women eagerly wait for the new cover designs to come out to add another year to their Women's planner collection.The planner features inspiring quotes by amazing Croatian writer Ingrid Divković. My favorite quote is right at the beginning of the planner as it sets the positive tone for the whole year (you will see what it is when you get the planner 😉 .
NEW LAKATWALK 2017 PLANNER DESIGN.
For 2017. I wrapped LaKatWalk planner in foggy 3D peonies print with green leaf here and there peaking over the quote on the back and year on the front.
What's new? This year there is one ribbon bookmark in orange instead of two white ones, there is no self breast exam instructions but there are beautiful new coloring pages, clothing and shoe size charts, fair number of note pages and much more!
For LaKatWalk limited edition Women's planner I decided to continue building on this wonderful theme of women working with and not against one another and I added another inspiration or rather self-encouraging mantra I live by on the back cover of the planner reading 'Always wear your invisible crown 👑' in gold glitter cursive letters.... You know..... to match the color of your invisible gold crown😉.
To explain, I personally, just like I am sure all of you reading this right now, do have experience in how it feels to be different, to dream big, to work twice as hard, to win, to make mistakes, to regret, to fall down, to get back up, to dust myself off, fix my crown, check my make up in the small mirror inside of my planner covers pretending I am checking my schedule for the day and then continue KatWalking on to my next challenge.
So this one is for all of YOU queens out there! 👑
Cute as a button, the size and the color of a
delicious powder pink macaroon LUNA play byFOREO is definitely the most adorable looking
skin care gadget I ever tried. I have the same skin care routine for years and
I rarely introduce a new product or a cleaning device for that matter.
WHAT IS LUNA PLAY?
LUNA play is the smallest deep-cleansing facial device by Swedish
company FOREO, with pulsating super gentle
silicone brush up front and play button on the back. It is
completely waterproof and you can
use it up to 100 times, as it is
non-rechargeable. It works for all skin types as well.
The soft silicone it's
made of is completely resistant to bacteria build up (unlike for example your shower loofah).
The brush head has two zones: a thinner, bigger silicone bristles for gentle skin part of your face (around eyes, cheeks and the mouth
area) while thicker bristles on the top are to be used for T-zone
cleaning (forehead, nose and beard).
LUNA play by FOREO is the perfect and by my experience the most gentle cleaning device to try if you are looking for a face cleaning device.
HOW TO USE IT?
You should use LUNA play for 1 minute, 2x a day. You should see visible results after a few uses. First you should wash your face with water, apply your regular face cleaning product, press play on LUNAplay and gently massage your face using thin bristles on softer part of your face and thicker bristles on top for washing T-zone.
I decided to try LUNA play as in comparison to other similar products it appeared more gentle to skin and simpler to use. And on top you can choose among 7 beautiful colors and it's tiny so it fits in any cosmetic bag thus perfect for travel.
MY FACE CLEANING ROUTINE.
It is fair to say that I have a quite sensitive dry skin with at times oily T-zone. Face cleaning routine and products I am using are about the same for years. I do my quarterly face cleaning at the salon with La Mer products and here and there I do additional treatment. I use La Roche-Posay Effaclar face cleaning wash gel and La Mer day and night face creams.
Before trying LUNA play I also tried Clinique and Clarisonis brushes which I both got as a present and felt like they are a bit aggressive on my skin, making it drier and sensitive to touch after cleaning (but that's just my experience).
After first 6 days of using LUNA play I noticed minor changes, while now after using it for two weeks I do plan to keep it as essential part of my face cleaning - particularly exfoliating.
The results I personally noticed with LUNA play are softer skin to touch, less t-zone shine (no makeup, no filter :P) and less visible pores/more even skin tone. Also, my subjective feeling is that my face creams are better absorbed now as my skin feels more fresh during the day and it's softer to touch.
WOW! WHERE CAN I GET IT?
If you are reading this from Croatia you can get your LUNA play at dm drugstores all around the country, or via FOREO online shop. If you are reading this from other countries worldwide you can also look for it on foreo.com.
Anabela is now 8.5 months and no I won't be one of those parents telling their baby's age in months past year one because I don't want to make people do math in their heads. Life is hard enough as it is! You know! Those parents who are like 'How old is your baby? Mine is 265 months old." :)
Anyhow, this post is about my 10
If you are on the market for baby things, you might find our experiences useful.
#1 BABY CARRIER - BOBA
Before I gave birth I was never fond of these baby carriers, I always had this misconception that 'hippy mums' wear them, whatever that meant. I thought I could never match it with any of my outfits and that it would be a death of my personal style. :) I could argue that I don't have as much time to put together my outfits now having a 8 months old but I am definitely not walking around in yoga pants and sweatshirts.
Back to the carrier, in all reality, this was by far the best investment in baby items we did and it's the most used baby item in our house. So as it appears, women who wear this are not some 'hippy moms' but they are women (and men) who have shit to do!
My duola, brought both a wrap and this boba baby carrier for me to try for a week as she said it helped tremendously with her baby who also had colics like Anabela and was a very bad sleeper. I could not be bothered with a wrap but this carrier was a life saver and it still is! I can cook, clean, work and walk the dog with Anabela sleeping in it, it most definitely helped me get stuff done during the day while it also got Anabela to finally fall asleep.
On a bad side, kids do get used to the closeness and this snugly feeling of being carried all the time so you should be conscious of the time baby spends in it (unlike I was so now I am still using it to get her to sleep and then I transfer her into the crib).
Boba carrier is easy to wash (hand wash or machine gentle cycle), it has useful pockets and purser strap holder, it has several carry positions (infant carry, back and front) and sleeping hood. You can also nurse the baby easily in it.
#2 BABY STEAM COOKER - BEABA
When Anabela was 4 months I started looking into baby steam cookers and my friend Iva suggested Beaba. The great thing about this steamer is that it cooks baby meal quite quickly and you can cook 2 different meals at the same time (for ex. fruit and veggies and/or meat) each in it's own pitcher. You may water down the mixture by adding some water left from steaming back into the mixture before mixing it all together. It takes about 10-15 min depending on how much produce you placed inside of the pitcher to make 2 different meals.
I started using it this Summer and at the beginning it wasn't to clear for me how it works, I thought both sides are mixing and cooking/steaming but actually both side (pitchers) are steamers and the right hand one is a mixer, also I learned that you should be very cautious when dosing water as machine might stop working with to much water inside.
The pitchers are super easy to clean, just drop them in dishwasher.
#3 BLOOM BABY HIGH CHAIR - FRESCO CHROME
Bloom Baby Fresco Chrome is definitely very luxurious high chair. This was one of the biggest investments for us when it comes to baby things, but we wanted a high chair which is very versatile and aesthetically fits into our kitchen well with the dining table and chairs. Chrome Fresco with white leather interior was a perfect choice for us. We were also looking to get a chair which Anabela can still use when she starts walking and this is most definitely it as we can lower it completely and use it as a pre-school desk chair for her in her room.
#4 FISHER PRICE NIGHT LIGHT & MUSIC PROJECTOR
My friend Maja advised me to get white noise playing night light for Anabela. When I was 8 months pregnant we got this Care Bear night light star projector with three different music tunes: white noise, forest and lullabies. It also comes with remote control which you can use to control volume or turn the whole thing on or off.
#5 MAM PACIFIERS
Now when she is teething Anabela is using pacifiers much less then during first 6 months but she still needs one to fall asleep. During the night she ends up dropping it and then wakes up crying and looking for it around the crib.
My friend Iva recommended Mam pacifiers after we went through about 4 or 5 different types and for some reason this is still her favorite. It seems to sit on her mouth nicely and also has quite a wide nipple and it comes in many fabulous colors along with a sterilized box.
#6 STOKKE ROUND CRIB - SLEEPI
We got this crib in white color, there is also a natural brown wood color and we got the bigger size right away although you can purchase a smaller one. Anabela has a very light sleep and she wakes up on the slightest noise.
This crib has wheels and brakes so I can just wheel it to the room I am spending the most time in during the day, home office in my case. This way I can have her sleeping next to me as I am working and she wakes up less then when she sleeps in another room further from me.
This crib also has three height levels, when the baby is just born you want to set the crib floor on the highest level and as they begin to sit up and stand you can lower the crib floor and eventually drop one side of the crib and it becomes a bed child can come out on it's own when they can walk.
#7 AVENT BABY BOTTLE STERILIZER
As any inexperienced and overexcited parents we got a lot of things we didn't needed for Anabela even before she was born. This wasn't one of this things. Anabela is 8 months old and we still use Avent sterilizer for Anabela's bottles and pacifiers.
The great thing about Avent's sterilizer is that unlike many other brands this one can fit in most microwaves and you can fit all kind of different shapes, brands and material bottles in it!
We traveled to Croatia for Summer and there we have smaller microwave then we do in our Barcelona apartment so when we got there we couldn't use the sterilizer we got before she was born from another brand as we never thought about checking if it would fit the microwave.
Due to water hardness it often gets water scale stains which we clean by leaving 1/3 cup of wine vinegar and a cup of hot water in it and then wash it regularly with sponge and it cleans and keeps wonderfully.
#8 ADEN & ANAIS SWADDLE BLANKETS & BIBS
Aden & Anais is one of my favorite baby brands. I love their multifunctional muslin swaddle blankets and we are still using each we got (and we have lots) on thousand different ways daily!
Muslin refers to a finely-woven breathable fabric. It is believed to have originated in Bangladesh during the Middle Ages and it's one of the purest, simplest, most gentle and most perfect fabrics in the world.
You can use the swaddle muslin blanket as burp cloth, tummy time blanket, a nursing cover, changing table cover, stroller cover when the weather is bad or to protect a small baby from bugs or as a sleeping swaddle wrap.
My latest Aden and Anais purchase was a fitting Stokke Sleepi Crib bed sheet, bandana bibs and super soft pajamas.
#9 WOODEN DIDACTIC TOYS - HABA
My boyfriend Ante and I decided to be as conscious as we can be of not letting Anabela play with smart phones, watch TV and iPad and we try to get her wooden didactic/educational toys.
Educational toys are toys that can teach a child about a particular subject or can help a child develop a particular skill. The key difference is the child's learning and development associated with interacting with the toy and they are usually made out of wood. The most popular producer of such toys is a German company Haba.
We are taking Anabela to sensory and motor skill development workshops and we noticed there that on top of self-made toys they are using a lot of Haba toys, which Anabela was interested in so we got her some to have at home as well.
#10 STOKKE XPLORY STROLLER
We looked long and hard, online and offline to find a right stroller. We had several non-standard conditions on top of the given ones (getting safe, fabulous and comfy stroller for Anabela) that had to be met - height of the stroller handle - my boyfriend is 215 cm and I am 183 cm so do the math! :) Most of the strollers did not work for us as handle could not be pulled up enough.
Secondly, our building has a fairly small elevator so we had to have stroller which can fit along with one of us (or preferably both + dog) in the elevator.
We purchased a purple Stokke Xplory Stroller along with the newborn carry basket, Be Safe car seat and a regular high seat that comes with it. The only thing that we used for a very short period was a car seat which became to small for Anabela quite quickly as she is a tall baby so she felt very constraint in it. The car sear served us great for the first 4 months as it easily attaches to stroller base so you don't have to carry also a basket with you when traveling with a car.
What we love the most about this stroller is how close you are to the baby (even if you are tall like we are). The stroller moves easily and it has many great positions. What I don't like as much is that for me it's quite heavy to pick up and put into the car. Luckily, Barcelona is really stroller friendly and when walking around sidewalks are adjusted for strollers and bicycles.
