Mint dilemma (while we're gone)

First of all, we want to apologise for the recent lack of posts. G's camera got some virus on its' memory card and so many beautiful photos are gone now. We gave it to service and now we keep fingers crossed at least some of them to be saved. However, the main reason for our absence is the fact that it's the end of the semester in university and we have really hard final exams to cope with. The last exam is in two weeks and after that the real summer starts for us. :)
We can't wait for that time to come as we have something in mind connected with fashion and this blog, but we'll leave this talk for other time. Another reason why we want the summer holiday to come sooner is that we've got so many DIY ideas in mind and we can't wait to turn to actions and share the results with you!

As for today's post, it's about a skirt I bought in Istanbul, but haven't worn yet.
It's in mint color, which is quite popular this summer and I think it's gorgeous. Unfortunately, the skirt appears to be quite big for me, so I am planning to give it to a tailor to make it smaller in the waist in order to wear it more high-waisted.
The problem is, that I actually don't know how to wear it. I'm thinking a white tank, colorful bracelets and flat sandals as an option, and maybe a white blazer, but I'm not quite sure yet. So,I'm open to any opinions and advices.
HOW WOULD YOU WEAR THIS SKIRT?

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!

* Due to some reasons Blogger was closed for the last 2 days and when it started functioning again, unfortunately most of the bloggers' last posts were deleted. Well, our somehow managed to give it the slip, but it cost many of your lovely comments on that post. So..we actually didn't get away completely. :)

The sheltering sky

Just came across this photo session of Jessica Stam in the May 2008 edition of Vogue UK. The session is called 'The Sheltering Sky' and it's nothing but amazing!
Needless to say how incredibly beautiful she is, photographer Patrick Demarchelier did a great job behind the lens too. Here's three shots from the session, which I liked most:

I fell in love with that Marni dress in the first photo! :)

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. :)

A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

Photos from Google

They are young. They are delicate. They are innocent and celestially beautiful. They seem as they are made of porcelain. They are the muse every artist is in search of.
They are just Freja and Lindsay.
Needless to say more.

XoXo,

* The title of the post is a quote from John Keats' poem Endymion

Somewhere over the rainbow..is Elisa!

Photos taken from: Altamira, All the pretty birds, Citizen Couture, Vanessa Jackman, Garance Dore, Harper's Bazaar, GastroChic, ezine1.com

A little bit of a photo overload, but I couldn't resist on making a post about her. Elisa Nalin is a huge source of inspiration. Not only is she a very beautiful woman, but she also has a great style. With all her bright outfits and bold colour blocking she creates great combinations that are so fresh and energizing for this season. And she's not that extravagant and eccentric as Anna Dello Russo, which also wins her points in my book.

Pick the flowers from my dress

Mango Spring/Summer '08 catalogue

As you have probably already noticed, we are kind of obsessed with photoshoots taken couple of seasons ago that look very fresh and up to date right now.
So, here it is today's inspiration: a big pattern maxi dress. Yummy :)

Right behind the corner

This video holds so much spring energy! Enjoy!

Happy Easter!

Acta Non Verba

Today's inspiration:

Dakota Johnson for Mango spring '09 catalogue

Again, a bit old one, but the look is very much in vogue this spring. And the message of her tattoo is quite witty: Acta non Verba means 'Act, don't talk!'

Dark and light, day and night...

Which one would you choose?

The photos are from an ad campaign of the Greek brand YZATIS. Although it's a bit old one, the whole catalogue is full of inspirational photos and the model Lisa Cant is simply stunning in each one of them.
