Fashion Outfit Post Tips 5 Comments

Hi everyone, how are you today? I really hope that you’re doing great, but it’s time to work a little so I decided to share with you some news and write a new post. I am from those kind of people who like to plan and do many things in advance and before the New Year just make one wish – just everything that has been agreed, will be realized! As much as people try to spread negative energy, we should not be allowed to assure us that effort and work are not worth the effort. Of course, each one of us has some own wishes, plans, and it is irrelevant whether they are small or big, everyone has the right to do something that is desirable for their dreams.

Today, I just remembered one conversation that I had with my friend almost 4 years ago when she was convinced me that there was nothing special out of the blog, that it was a pure waste of time and nerves, so she began to list the names of people who were then popular in this blogging world. I just asked the question: “What if I turn out the game? Can I find a place for myself? “She had no answer to that question.

That’s how my story about Mr.M began as a kind of new way, as proof that everything is possible if you truly and really love what you do. Writing a blog is not easy, it’s a very difficult mental work, where a certain amount of creativity is required. When I begin to write a post, every time I have a feeling of a certain kind of fear, which has not passed with time, but it’s not something that you can’t beat with the time.

Many of you asked me few times where I learned to write this way, whether I was in some kind of writing course or did I attend a “blogger” school? The answer is NO! I did not go to courses or any school because I really do not believe in that type of bloggers “education”. Schools make molds, simply make people think similarly. I do not write serious things like celebrated writers, nor pretend to do it or to become a person that will be significant in literary circles, but I want to show my attitude and opinion in a true and unique way.

Also I received a lot of questions like: “You write well, unlike a particular person or group of bloggers, it’s a shame that you do not have a larger number of readers on your blog, how are you dealing with it, is it worth to do it?” I once answered one such email with one long letter, I guess I was angry, and on the other hand, disappointed that it is possible that someone has the right to compare someone in such a way.

I greatly appreciate and respect all my colleagues, whether are they the bloggers or people who are influencers (people who are influential on social networks and platforms) and there is no need to compete or compare. Everyone has the right to run own blog and take care of his public “image” in social media world. From the very beginning, I tried to keep my blog in such a way that an average person could understand me, someone similar to me. It does not have to be everything turn around of salary and money of course, we need to survive and earn something, but the charm of our work lies in feeling the reaction of people who like and read our work.

I always try to use the terminology that everyone knows or at least most people and I’m glad that people who read these posts on my blog have recognized and found something good in the whole Mr.M story. I started the blog with the idea to share some of my stories with the hope of having fun and making someone a good day after work. After a while, I received a lot of messages with compliments that my stories were emotional and educational. If that’s the case, then that’s great, at least something smart and useful from me! ?

Now the only question that worries me most: When will this snow go away? The more it turns out, people can not function normally, just a few hours later, Belgrade becomes white Siberia and traffic is in a collapse, and poor people do not know what to do. I’d like to tell you something interesting about this outfit.

You had the opportunity to see this lovely jacket – parka last year on the blog, some people were worried about throwing stuff, so you can see that bloggers do not live with an exclusive way of life, so that after shooting we throw things and we dress every day new thins… That’s one little sweet lie, we repeat certain fashion pieces a lot of times, and yes we dress all those promotional clothes in daily life, it’s not just for the Instagram. 😀

I got a sweater from my friends from the Finnish fashion house Turo, you also saw it before this winter on the blog, the link of the post. The red color always fix my mood, and this sweater is so warm and soft that I really doubt that I will be able to leave it in the closet this season, since this snow can surprise us in May as well… Weather is constantly changing!

Jeans are a special story, honest to be, I can not even tell myself how many jeans I buy each year and also how much of them I get from brands and the worst part most of them are almost the same, classic cut. That is why some people think that I have the same same jeans every time. Not my dear ones, I have almost 20 pairs of similar jeans, which I honestly do not even see the difference, so I perfectly understand you…

The backpack is a special story itself and I am very proud of this collaboration with the famous German brand Picard. I do not know how familiar you are with this brand, you might have heard of it, but it is extremely popular in Germany and it’s affordable, but the quality is exceptional.

The Germans are a very wise and economical people, and when they buy something like clothes or fashion accessories, it is generally important for them to invest their money in some thing which is quality, even when the price is affordable for them, there is anybody happier than themselves. Picard is a German brand that has managed to match the wishes and needs of its customers. Simple design, eternal classic and product quality are the basic characteristics of this famous German brand. Their fashion story began back in 1928, and since then, they have made daily lives much easier for all their customers.

Because all of that, I’m glad that I got the chance to work with a brand such as Picard and that I will have the opportunity to show you some of their iconic models of bags that you can wear on all occasions and of course to be noticed. Also, Picard has a great collections of women’s bags and they always have some interesting offers and sales, so take the opportunity to visit their online shop from time to time.

I am a big fan of pastel colors, brown color is my favorite color and I have inherited the love for this color from my mother who usually adores and almost all of her fashion pieces are in this color, I will just tell you how much this love to brown color is huge when it is her favourite coffee cup is in the brown colour as well… ?

Have you made some of your New Year’s decisions? If you are not still sure, do not worry it’s not late, people say that January is anyway the month for resting the year begins since February, so you have a few more days to think about your goals for this year and slowly start with work.

My dear fashionistas, once again we have come to the end of this fashion – lifestyle tips post. Time just flies so fast when you are having a good time! Don’t worry in a couple of days I will publish a new post where we will continue together to enjoy the charms of traveling and we will star some new adventure!

At the end of the post, I would like to thank my friends from the Picard which helped me to explore urban world of men’s street fashion & style.

All I want for Christmas…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

Hi everyone, how are you today? I hope this Christmas spell has changed your mood, and you are celebrating this holy day filled with joy that bring you Christmas. I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the great holy holiday of Christmas to all people who celebrates this holiday. Christmas reminds us every year about the most important values of life: love and respect. I hope that we will all find the peace that we are constantly searching for. I have tried to congratulate all my friends and associates who celebrate this great holiday, as they every year try to send me their positive energy and best wishes in January every year when the Orthodox Christmas is celebrated.

Today I decided to be in the festive spirit and to congratulate my friends from the Turo fashion house this great religious holiday in this unusual way, and I hope that my fashion greetings will mark this magnificent day.

If you have missed a chance to read the previous post which I made in collaboration with the Turo, you can do it now if you visit this link. I hope you will enjoy! Pictures for this post were made in early November this year, but due to the obligations of my photographer, we were unable to post this post before. I thank my friends from the Turo brand for understanding.

Cooperation with this irresistible Finnish brand completely confused all my “blogger” senses and I must admit that I had no idea where I could make the pictures in order to succeed in presenting this unusual outfit. The new special limited collection TURO x IKLA, which the Turo fashion house has prepared for this Fall/Winter season,is something completely new when we are talking about the male fashion scene.

In the previous post, I presented you basic goals and vision as the designer of this special collection shared with the world – Ikla Wright, a young Finn who found happiness in a fashion world in the capital of England, London. Although after many successes he has made as fashion designer in England, Ikla has not forgotten his homeland and has decided to give a fashion house Turo a real fashion freshness.

Unusual models, freedom in movements and basic colors that will always make every man timeless was the primary goal of the young creator to encourage younger generations of men to adopt a new urban style of classic men’s fashion.

Berlin, as a city of new ideas, the center of street fashion where many famous world brands were created may have been the ideal place to take pictures of this outfit. As you can see, it’s always fun, even when it’s cold, because the very idea of having the chance to make the photos in Berlin warm my blogger heart, so even the lower temperatures can not spoil my perfect mood.

Some scientists, after some years of research, have come to the conclusion that some colours can significantly affect the positive change in people’s mood and thus contribute to improving the overall health. Red color except it is also attractive for the human eye, has a lot of influence on mood swings. I’m sure you’ve all heard that the red color is a symbol of joy and love. Due to this symbolism, many fashion houses create special festive collections each year especially for the holidays season that contain red, green, navy and unavoidable white colour.

This red sweater reminded me of the holidays, the moments you spend with your family and friends during the holidays where you share happiness, joy and positive energy because holidays are the best when we are together.

My photographer had a completely different conception of my outfit, so instead of my version Christmas spirit, because of the unusual style of the coat, I’ve got a compliment to look like a student who is late for a train for the Hogwarts because there is a plot story of the famous Hollywood movie blockbuster “Harry Potter”. No one can “ruin” you better than your  closest associates.

I must admit… Well, maybe this compliment was the best description of this outfit and this is proof that every one of us has his own personal view of things that can also be real, only at first sight we do not personally notice it well.

You also had the opportunity to see these trousers in the previous fashion outfit post where you could see how they suit well and with warm pastel colours like it is camel colour itself. An unusual model, with a high waistline that can help men like me to visually for a moment “change” my lower part of the body. I may be tall, but my legs are a bit shorter for a couple of centimeters because my hips’ weight is lower for my height a little and the torso is getting more pronounced.

In the past few months, I have received a few interesting e-mails from young and older men in choosing the best men’s trousers when you have the problem with the stronger hips, after they noticed that I have a similar “problem”. Of course, this is nothing serious, but it is the physiognomy of certain men, and then we have a problem finding the ideal trousers. My advice is that if you have a problem with stronger hips, and the lower part of the legs is thinner, you always choose models of pants that are wider in the upper part, while in the lower part they are slightly narrowed or what fashion designers would say “cigarette” model of trousers.

My dear fashionistas once again we have come to the end of this second special fashion outfit post about Finnish brand Turo. Time just flies so fast when you are having a good time! Don’t worry in a couple of days I will publish a new post where we will continue together to enjoy the charms of traveling and we will continue our adventures on Cyprus as well!

At the end of the post, I would like to thank my friends from the Turo fashion house which helped me to explore urban world of men’s fashion.

P.S. I have to share some confidential information with you! Special sales have started on official website of Turo fashion house, so now you can use your chance to buy these amazing fashion pieces on the links bellow or you can find some other interesting items for you.

Sri Lanka: It’s Tea Time

Adventure Travel 4 Comments

Hello everyone! How are you today? I sincerely hope that you are good and that you are ready for another adventure. Today I will continue to write about my impressions from Sri Lanka and this will also be the last post from this series of posts from this trip. If you have not read previous posts or you want to read them again please visit, Sri Lanka: The Island Where Dreams Live – LINK and Postcard from Sri Lanka: Signs are everywhere… – LINK.

I would like to use this opportunity to say thank you to all of you for the unselfish support and wonderful messages you send me on social media and via e-mails. THANK YOU guys!

In my previous posts, you had the opportunity to read a lot of interesting things about this beautiful paradise island. You learned something new and why is Sri Lanka recognisable in the world. Did you know that Sri Lanka is on the list of five largest tea exporters in the world? You did not know that fact? I did not even know it until I heard the story of our guide. We had amazing time on tea fields! 🙂

The weather in this part of Sri Lanka is always misty and the temperature is drastically lower than in other parts of the island. Humidity and colder weather are perfect conditions for the tea leaves, but for me who came from warmer and sunny parts of the Sri Lanka was a little shock, but thanks to God so I listened to my mom and brought a jacket with me on Sri Lanka. I’ll just say, “Thank you, Mom!”, The mothers always know best!

I learned a lot about tea. It was fun, they showed us how to properly harvest tea leaves and put them into the baskets that they gave us to carry on our backs.

We learned about all kinds of teas growing on this plantation, we did a little work here on fields (but as you see we were taking the pictures more) and the time flied so fast, so we spent almost 2 hours in the field without feeling it. In the picture above, you see my colleague and friend Rakel, who came from the Philippines to feel these beauties of Sri Lanka.

After a little work in the field, our hosts took us to a factory where they dried and processed tea leaves until the final product which I’m sure most of you love to drink at 5 o’clock. Are you for cup of tea? 🙂

What you see on the tape is my result of 2 hours working in the fields. These are the leaves which I picked up, I’m not bad considering the fact that it was the first time in the field, but this would not be enough to fill a filter bag of tea… (They told me so!)

The tea-making factory at first sight looks pretty old and my first thought was that they all do it manually. I was wrong! The factory is equipped with new technology that helps workers increase their productivity. 

The wages in Sri Lanka are not great, sometimes people are not satisfied. They are happy to have a job because it’s hard to find a job there when you are an elderly person, as well as everywhere in the world. The chances of getting a job are less when you are an elderly person. Employers are fair to older people who have certain benefits in the work of shorter working hours and longer breaks. The elderly prefer to work and in most cases they are better workers and for a short period of time during working hours they perform significantly more work than the younger workers.

The smell that has caught us in the tea factory is amazing, natural fragrance like some of the most beautiful perfumes. The only slightly problems are connected with humidity and additional heating. That is because the factory is almost 40 degrees due to certain processes that need to be done when processing and drying tea leaves. Like every business, this one has some of its advantages and disadvantages.

This lady works in the tea processing sector – fermentation the third and last tea processing process. What is tea fermentation? This is the process of processing tea leaves where the chemical process of converting insoluble molecules from tea leaves into soluble and digestible is carried out. If by any chance we “skip” this process, the tea would be very saturated and not tasty at all.

After we had completed a visit to the plantation and tea factory, the blogging crew continued adventure. The landscape we had occasion to see during the trip was incredible. We just had to stop and capture this amazing moment. The guides understood our fascination so they took us to lunch at a nearby restaurant. They changed the plan for us, and because of that we are very grateful to them.

Since the trip was quite long, we arrived at Kandy late at night. I had a good rest and got up before just to have the opportunity to enjoy the view. Good morning, Kandy!

The hosts at the hotel started preparing a special breakfast as soon as they saw me sneaking around and I was taking some photos, so I used my chance to take a photo of them secretly, and this picture was not bad at all. This is the true picture of Sri Lanka, a true exotic tropical paradise with a incredible spirit.

 

 

Breakfast, part one! This was the first dish of my breakfast, the first thing that caught my eye was an interesting decoration and richness of colours. I would like to thank my hosts from Mahaweli Reach Hotel for wonderful experience and warm welcome. Thank you for having me in your wonderful hotel! 

Nice and warm weather, sun, swimming pool, delicious food, what you can expect more from the life! On this trip I had a feeling like some small child in the candy store. Thank God I didn’t gain some extra weight and again I enjoyed the various exotic salty and sweet dishes in this paradise! Finally, I would like to say big thank you to the Sri Lanka Tourism Board for this wonderful experience. 

My dear ones, we have come to the end of this third and also the last post from this series of posts about my adventures from Sri Lanka. At the end of this post I decided to leave you to admire the beauty of the nature of this beautiful hotel. I sincerely hope you enjoyed and I would love to hear your opinion. Have you been in Sri Lanka? Are you planning to visit this tropical paradise?

If you have any questions, comment, suggestion or message for me you can write me down in the comments. Of course, as of now, you can always contact me via mail or social media, and you can find it on the CONTACT page.

Best,

Mr.M

Hello Winter!

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

Hi, guys! I hope that you are good and ready for my new post. Time flies so fast, that’s nothing weird, but when we see on the calendar that the end of December is coming… We all know what that means! It’s time for holiday and New Year’s Eve magic. Have you summarized all your impressions for this year? Did you make your list of best thing which happened to you this year? If you accidentally didn’t do that, don’t be desperate, neither I (I’m waiting for December 30). Get ready to make a nice wish on December 31st. If you also haven’t done the home decoration, don’t even worry about it. I understand you very well! 😀

 

 

I am pleased with my achievements this year. A man shouldn’t have any expectations, but you should work and you could hope that it will be better next year. I have made sure of it! In the new year I want you only the best! That basic package “health, happiness, love” is must, but it is very important that man is accomplished in business and also in life.

Some people think that blogging is a funny and meaningless thing, that bloggers simply waste their time … Writing for your soul is nice, the blog is one type of open diary where a person shares mind and some important things in life. I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to take my chance as a blogger. Blog is a very interesting, there are so many topics, about you can write, so many ways and how to run a blog… Everyone eventually finds themselves, just like in life. Blog is a bit different because you create your workplace, working hours and everything depends on you. When Blog is successful, you just can’t let it to work “alone”. You must always be present and actively edit the content. Do you like the job you are currently doing? Do you feel just tired after work?

 

 

Love, hope and dedication are the main things in life, but literally every job and even in love … No, that’s it? You should always love what you do, and to hope that it will be better and better. Dedication? Oh yes… That is only the test for the bravest persons. Sometimes when you do not have time to sleep, there is no rest, there is no time for some other interesting things … Whether you are learning or doing, I believe that you are very familiar with this concept.

 

 

My recommendation for today: good cup of tea, and the sweet cookies with crumbs of chocolate. It’s a must for me to enjoy these days! Happiness is in the small things. Was this an outfit post? Absolutely no! What I talked about today? This was a story of gratitude! I wanted to share my experience with you. Anything to do in life requires work, faith, hope and dedication (when needed!).

I sincerely hope that you liked my today’s post. I would love to hear from you in the comments what you learned from this year and why you are grateful. Can’t wait to read them!

 

Best,

Marko
