Photoflop

... and I'm back.

Although I'm not very happy with the quality of today's photos (boyfriend, WTF?), I eventually decided to post them anyway. I wish I had mad photo editing skills I could put to work in such instances; sadly, my Photoshop use is limited to overbrightening and oversaturating. Better luck next time.

Commie

This is actually what I wore yesterday, so I can say I caught the last train for bare legs & open toes in April.
It's practically summer over here. You won't see me complaining.
It really wouldn't hurt for me to befriend an iron, would it? (I'm sure I've said that already. I don't think I will though.)
This dress is at least 10 years old. It's one of those pieces I don't wear much, but I'm definitely glad I kept it.
I brought this baseball hat from Vietnam. It has a communist feel to it and I find that entertaining.
I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow! I can't wait to finally visit the Dali museum in Figueres and I'll dip my white ass in the sea if it's the last thing I do.

Black Is The New Floral

I attended a really cool event yesterday:

The April edition of Art Dialogue presents two interesting, increasingly prominent and particularly creative young ladies who have been making their own marks both at the domestic as well as international fashion scene – the fashion blogger Eva Domijan and fashion designer Janja Videc. Their talk will touch upon the local fashion scene, the future of fashion industry as well as what they like to do most – create.

The lovely ladies entertained us with their well prepared, intelligent, interesting and refreshing dialogue. To more such events!

 Eva and Janja

I wore mainly black. Surprising? Three factors contributed to that:

• I have "nothing to wear" (not literally, of course; I do have things to wear, but most of them fail to impress me). As I was standing desperately in front of my open wardrobe while time was passing by, these pants and this blouse came to the rescue.
• As much as I'm into floral prints, their omnipresence is becoming slightly nauseating.
• While (too much) black can make me depressed in winter, I don't mind it in friendlier seasons. I still prefer it combined with (a) vivid color(s), like the electric blue coat I added here.

No Matter The Weather

Look at this fucking weather. LOOK AT IT! If I was still depressed, I'd be SO depressed right now. But I'm not. Today's photos turned out pretty terrible (I'm capable of the stupidest facial expressions and rain makes it look like giant dandruff is falling from my head); nevertheless, I'm feeling obnoxiously zen.

Vintage Pillage

Remember my whining about "not having anything to wear"? Once again, vintage shopping came to the rescue ... and saved the day. This vintage Louis Féraud dress is one of the gems I brought back from my latest pillaging in Gvant.

I went to Zara fashion show in the great company of some fellow bloggers yesterday. I like Zara (especially their current stuff, what with all the colours and prints), but shit is getting expensive. This yellow jacket (that looks like Pacman here :D) is the main object of my affection:

Added value: fooling around after the show with my gorgeous and stylish blogger friends Irena (Running in my Heels) and Nina (Kitchy World in Bitchy Words). Photos by Irena (except for the ones she's on, obviously).

 

 

 

 

We wearz shoez! :D

Sartorial Trouble

Once again, I've found myself in that miserable place where I have no idea what the fuck to wear (hence the lack of posts). Few things in my price range impress me; I feel like I'm stuck in that South Park episode where everything is shit. I've been so desperate that I even toyed with the idea of wearing jeans and T-shirts, but that made me even more miserable. (Don't get me wrong, nothing against jeans and T-shirts; if you feel good wearing them, by all means, wear them.) I'd love to donate all my wardrobe and start from square one, but I know damn well that's not the answer. Do you get stuck like this, too? What do you do when it happens?

That's More Like It!

Working from home is FANTASTIC. This morning (my definition of morning being "time of day between 10 AM and 2 AM"), for example, boyfriend (who also works on a flexible schedule) made us this delicious smoothie (banana + frozen berries + lime juice + some honey) and we enjoyed it on the terrace.

Thanks to Oasap for gifting me this claw bracelet.

 
Defying the pastel attack with colors that are more me.
