If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

Then.. it's a customized Mandarina Duck handbag :)

It belonged to my Mom and it's quite old and a bit worn out at the angles. But I loved it the minute I found it at the bottom of her wardrobe. Didn't like the handles, though. It had one long adjustable handle that made the design a bit old fashioned and it was quite shabby. So.. what else could I do, but start another DIY project?

Childish as I am

It's official: I'm probably the worst blogger ever.But since my last post I just couldn't make it to post anything. I don't know what's happened with me. I' ve never had such lack of inspiration before. But things are getting better these days. I've got plenty of DIY things to share with you and some new buys as well.

As for today's post, I want to apologise for the poor photo quality. The photos were taken with my really old phone LG KE970i. My camera battery ran dead in the beggining of the photo session and I just couldn't miss my sudden flow of inspiration so I had to use my old, but still useful mobile.
I played with the hues on the Windows photo manager in order to have the vintage, mild-line image that I had in my head. I'm just mad about this photo effect. It looks very romantic to me and such photos always make me smile.

my new coffee mug. It's really nice to start your day with some good motivation :)

A little DIY bow I made some time ago and some little flowers I just picked from our garden.

Some of my DIY bracelets. I made them from some really old beads I recently found home. Sometimes I'm really happy about the fact that I hardly throw anything away.

I can never get enough of flowers. :)

DIY shirt (old project)

Inspired by Thrift queen’s post about a DIY shirt, I decided to show you one of my DIY projects too. I made it some time ago, after another wardrobe crisis of the type “too many clothes, but nothing to wear”. On the bottom of the lowest shelf in my closet, I found a black elastic t-shirt with a “V” neckline that I had forgotten when and why I have bought. I put it on and then I found out why it was on the bottom of the lowest shelf – the cleavage was way too deep.
But suddenly, I came upon a bright idea!

My little treasury

This post is going to be e little bit more personal. Yesterday G left for Bosnia and Herzegovina for the weekend. We hope he’s going to take many great photos to share with you later. Until then, I decided to show you some of my treasures. I call them that way, because each one of them is really precious to me. Because all of them have their histoy and I have a special feeling to every single piece. Let me tell you their stories…



The silver ring

My Mom found this silver ring on the street in a cold winter day a couple of years ago. Since she wears gold, she gave it to me. I love it, although I don't wear it very often because it's quite uncomfortable.

The Miss Sixty watch

A Christmas present from G in 2009. That time I was gone crazy about Miss Sixty watches and jewellery and I desperately wanted to buy a watch. So it was really a great present. And I love its design, I call it 'Dracula' because it looks to me like a coffin. Actually the real name of the model is Sixty Star :)

The Roxy pendant

Another present from G. He gave me this little Roxy pendant last year when I was studying hard for my term exams. It definitely gave me strength and will to pass all of them. :)

The Comme des Garçons inspired skirt

My Mom sewed me this skirt from a fabric she bought for herself couple of years ago. I recently found it and it instantly reminded me of that Comme des Garçons Shirt striped skirt. And since I'm not very good at sewing (unfortunately), I begged her to sew me a skirt from the fabric. She wasn't very keen on my request at first(she sews very rarely as she has much other work to do), but I think she was also pleased by the final result.

That's all for now, if you're interested I can show you some other pieces from my closet sometime. :)
