Time

 time turns the weather from hot and cold,
time makes us grow old,
time is a split decision,
time is what we have alot in prison,
time is something you cant buy,
time keeps going even after you die,
time is money and money is time,
time is what you get when you commit a crime,
time is something you cant break,
time is something you learn from a mistake,
time doesnt grant you wishes,
time is based on decisions,
time is something you remember from the past,
time is something that goes by so fast,
time gives u another try,
time makes you laugh and cry,
time makes you happy and sad,
time is something you want more but never had,
time has no end,
time can make you a better man,
time makes you choose wrong from right,
time turns day to night,
time makes you forgive but not forget,
time is something you could regret,
time makes you go under pressure,
time is something you will always treasure,
time is never enough,
time is easy but also rough,
time can make you rich or poor,
time is something we all want more.

 I love old clocks and watches. There is a lot of history in them.

I found that poem at poemhunter.

 The pictures have been taken while walking with my friend.

it's been a long time

I'm back from holidays full of adventure but a bit upset it's already over ! It's damn September, it means the most hated season of the year (at least by me).
 Coming back to reality ain't easy. I'm doing my best: don't drink too much, brush hair everyday, re-move make-up, iron(!). One word: BORING.
There is always a bright side of everything - my mum's cuisine :)) And there is a dark side of a bright side - my "love handles".. Anyway, I stop moaning, rather post sth.

 Both, gents watch and Spanish lace fan (beautiful isn't it?) found in charity shop.

  

Friday shopping

I bought these watermelon wedges and snake skin platforms last week. Bronx stilettos are last season so I got 50% discount :D and the wedges came from probably the cheapest shoe shop in Poland called CCC. I'm happy I didn't spend much money this time. Saving! Saving! !

turban

This camera was brought from Germany by my dad many years ago. It's the easiest way to get a photo. I love it !
I'm going on holiday next week and have to decide which clothes I'll take with me. Packing it's always a horror. I need all of my things !! I don't like the luggage weight limit :( That's why I need at least two way wear stuff to make some space for shoes...

...
There are many ways of wearing a maxi skirt: below as a dress.

The Laundry-Monster is waiting for me :O

Sailor Moon

Love these pants even if they make me look curvier than I am normally. I'm still learning how to make my new camera take good quality photos. The sun is killing me, flash is even worse. There is never enough time for reading instructions ;)

If anyone doesn't know who's Usagi vel Bunny Tsukino I post a pic of her below :) She was my "inspiration" for this outfit lol
Gush, the memories of my primary school are just round the corner ... When we were playing them with my girlfriends, I was always that one from Mars. Little reflection? The time is running very fast !

love at first sight

When I saw that dress for the first time, I knew it has to be in my closet :D I had no money that day (it was a training day far away from my town) but the next day I found it here. The color and fabric - just perfect !

and on me 

 

I want the gray one toooo but I know I can't. I'm stony-broke :( 

 

hell yeah !

"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way"

 

 

"Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild"

 My dream is to own a bike, the real bike, a motorbike and then to ride it with no shirt ;) hahaha

Somewhere over the rainbow

It was a lovely day. For the first time this year I saw a rainbow and what's weird, there was no rain today. Anyway, I took a pic :) I'm in a good mood at the moment coz I know when I have flight at last - June the 8th.
“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore!” said Judy Garland as Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. That kind of feeling I've got every time I step off the plane. Well, my two 'Totoes'' can't fly with me and that's probably the worst thing about traveling.

"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?"

Unforgettable Dorothy's song here performed by amazing Norah Jones and Eric Clapton.

I read there will be no summer this year because of that volcano. I'm hoping it's a huge pile of bullshit and I will be tanned like I was last year!

hound's tooth biiite !

I hate tartan, check in general but the houndstooth, hound's-tooth or dog's tooth (never know) is a pattern I accept. Why is that?
Maybe coz it's not that neat ;) "Characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes" - sounds creative. Although the traditional colors are black and white (read: simplicity), nowadays this pattern can be used in various ways (such a rhyme!). Anyway, my outfit is classic (funeral, very important meeting/exam).

my b-n treasure from second hand. I couldn't find the label but I sniffed a bit of royalty.

 All and even more about my favorite hound's tooth here.

lovely dress for summer

I want a dress, a maxi dress, a maxi silk zebra print dress ! Because I am a shortie, it is difficult to find a nice long dress so i decided to make it myself. I have no spare time but I believe i will do it. I think 3 meters of pure silk fabric should be enough.

aaaaw, and this armchair

Wanted

I've been looking for boots like these ones since October ! I didn't realize there is a Bronx shoe shop in my town ! I rarely shop shoes on-line, coz you can't fit them threw your laptop; but I'm smart - I tried them (size 5 is just alright) and found 20% cheaper in a webshop. Can't wait to get&wear them!!!
I just wonder, if there is any other person who loves biker and cowboy boots more than I do (even when they weren't "hot'').

And now I'm seriously thinking about these ones:

I'm outta time

This cushion with a cockerel on it doesn't suit to anything in my bedroom but I just couldn't resist.. That's my personal style - never will be 100% smart or gypsy, or electro, punk... whateva! My point for today is: Always be yourself. If you feel something is cool, even if everyone says it's not - just wear it and make it look like that! It's always hilarious when the bimbos are screaming because of e.g. snake skin purse and the next season arg! its suddenly awful for them. Well, I don't say the 'cock-cushion' is cool lol but I like it! No it definitely is!

as a dessert Le Tigre, enjoy!

'I can see yr disco disco dik is sucking my heart out of my mind
I'm outta time, I'm outta fuckin time
I'm a gasoline gut with a vaseline mind but
Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme
One, two, three, four
You got what you been asking for
Yr so policy free and yr fantasy wheels and everything you think
And everything you feel is alright,
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

I take you home now watch me get you hot
Yr just a parrot when yr screaming
And yr shouting "More crackers please, more crackers please"
You want what you want but you don't wanna be on yr knees
Who does your/ who does your hair?'

... has changed lately and is a bit rebel now

little gray dress no. 1

I've got a cute collection of gray dresses. That's my favorite, the one I had to change the cleavage and whole bottom. I added black belt as well to put a cherry on top !

 

  

Angora or mohair?..

What's the difference between them? Yeah, it's obvious: mohair wool fabric is obtained from angora goat and angora wool fabric from angora rabbit. Everyone knows that but that's the definition. Let's go further...

Angora has a extraordinary smooth, silky texture making it difficult to spin; can shrink if the water is too hot. Angora wool tends to be very warm. Desirable characteristics of the fiber include its texture, warmth, lightweight, and pure white color. Pure angora wool is impossible to make, because the fibers are too fine and the wool will simply unravel. Angora fibers are usually mixed with other soft fibers, such as cashmere and lambswool.


Mohair is very elastic; it can be stretched up to 30%, and will spring back to shape. Easy to Wash - it doesn't shrink.
Mohair easily absorbs and releases moisture, moving perspiration away from the skin. It is comfortable to wear in cold and hot weather.
One of mohair's most important qualities is its ability to take dye and to display brilliant colors that resist fading by time or hard wear. Mohair's smooth fibers can be made into fabrics that have a cooling effect. It is ideal for summer garments.

Summing up, angora is more luxurious, mohair practical.

Now I get it why berets and hats are always made from mohair never from angora. "When the rain comes"...  Above my lilac outfit: angora cardigan, angora  polo neck and animal print mohair beret. Inspired by the style icon of all time - great BB.

DIY

An old leather envelope bag done with studs. Those little fellows accidentally act like the most popular English word. It looked much more classy before but I'm rebellious lately... With that bag there is no limit. Should I say "I'm the best f* the rest!" holding it next time?!

before... 

 

... and after 

 

Rock ur world xx

Russian Aristocracy

I don't know why but I'm surprisingly fine with that retro stylization... It's not my certain style at all but do I have a certain style? I start to doubt it. I was in a romantic mood so I went vintage!

 

 

from sunset to sunrise...

Sweet memory of last holidays, when everything was possible. For a while I was thinking - I'm in heaven... God, I was soooo naive.
 ...

In this pic: me, my best friend and my powder pink (almost) silk dress :)

"in a place where we can make it happen
where impossible is possible
and i kinda like it
and i want it
(...)
got to have it
when you want it
it sure feels good to me

it's the way you make me feel
when you hold me closely baby,
it's the way you make me feel
from sunset to sunrise..."

an ordinary black T-shirt

I spent 3,99 for a black T-shirt to do something with it later. I've bought gold spray and found some old jewelery in a drawer... But before everything I tried to use it as an outfit. How it went? First with leopard print body which is a bit too small (I'm going to fix it next week) and likes to slide down when I've got no bra. That's why I don't wear it in a proper way for now. My D-cup makes it look, well not sexy, rather vulgar.

 

With that T-shirt and skinny jeans, printed body looks alright, I guess.

 

 

Dark bow and The Red Army

Strictly office suit but  not so obvious - brown bow-headband makes the difference. My inspiration for this outfit was miss Blair Waldorf and Tarantino's "Hell ride" (motorcycle boots). Sometimes I do believe that less is more.

17.03.1969 - 11.02.2010

It's sad news for all fashion lovers. Our great designer and British fashion icon, Alexander McQueen has taken his own life today. He died at the age of 40. We have lost a great artist. Forever...

 

I would like to express my condolences to his family and close friends...  

It's right time to mention the woman who discovered Alexander and his close friend - an international style icon Isabella Blow who also commit a suicide. She ended her life by drinking the deadly weedkiller paraquat in May 2007. The editor died in hospital at the age of 48.
