"There's something special about being in a city for the first time." With her studies in Croatian and art history, she has very little free time, which she loves to spend traveling. She would describe her style as classic, she is a fan of interesting 'thrifted' pieces, and she loves to see girls and women wearing their own signature style. She really wants to visit Egypt, and this year she decided to 'slow down' and enjoy the little things more.
What does Antonia do and what does she do in her free time?
Antonia is a student of Croatian Studies and Art History, currently in her fourth year, so her ' free ' time is usually spent either on academic assignments or on student work. When I actually have free time or when I create it, I like to visit exhibitions to keep up to date with the cultural scene, and at the same time, art relaxes me and fills me with energy and ideas. I also like going to theater performances, classical music concerts... My favorite activity is traveling, which I try to fit into my busy schedule as much as possible. There's something special about visiting a city for the first time: I'm always amazed by the architecture, discover new artists, and soak up the culture.
Describe your mind&body care rituals to us.
I go to Pilates, it's great for both my body and mind, breathing really grounds me. I love walking in nature with music in my ears or in good company. Facial and skin care are important to me, and in addition to daily creams and facial massages, I sometimes have my own ' spa day ' . And I would definitely single out semi-therapeutic conversations with my boyfriend and friends, nothing can replace that.
How would you describe your style and what do you like to see most on girls/women?
That's always a tough question for me. I would say my style is classic, I have a lot of timeless pieces, and on the other hand I always like to have some ' weird ' , bolder pieces. I love colors, I love patterns, I love denim. The style of the 70s and 90s is very inspiring to me, as is maximalism.
I always find it great to see women have their own signature, when they can present things in their own unique way instead of being copy-pasted, stylistically uniform and uniform.
Small but big things you do out of love for the planet.
I recycle and separate waste, always carry cloth bags with me and try to avoid plastic packaging when possible. I also often buy clothes from second-hand stores - it's good for the Earth, and I can find really unusual pieces.
My favorite achievement...
are my friendships, a special few people that I managed to find and keep in my life. There is no such thing as true friends!
Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
There are always unfulfilled desires that push me forward. I would like to dare to go on an exchange program, I really want to visit Egypt, and I have been thinking about taking a sewing course for some time now.
Have you made any New Year's resolutions?
I decided to try to find more time to rest, slow down, enjoy more of the (small) things that fulfill and make me happy, and simply continue working on myself.
