A note on blogs and some favourites

Blogs are one of my favourite things to read. I think the reason why they are so attractive, at least to me, is because, yes, you can find information from people who specialize on a niche, but also they are personal. They are relatable, and you get opinions and discussions. I'm very argumentative so I enjoy as many theories and thoughts as I can get. Blogs are deeply philosophical.

God, how fabulous is she?

The 20s lips

I've always been a fan of the pointy cupid bow lip especially on young girls; done properly it looks so elegant and vamp. I only paint part of the lip for this version, I'm still experimenting

Love taking pictures of June when she's not looking

What I wore: Ibiza Day 2

I'm doing some exercises my favourite way. Upstairs, on the wooden floor! With the breeze coming in from the terrace, all open with views to the sea! Naked!!

Sexiest clogs!

Proof that a dress can be curve-hugging with no stretch

It's called "cut"

Mid-end designers should take note.

This dress is glorious. (YSL)

I LOVE HER!

How can one manage to look sexy and funny, at 65 years old, in THAT?

I love her hair. I'm gonna wear my Muks today.

Quotes of the day

[after (3?) pints. Second bar of the after-rehearsal-celebration-party]

D- I think we should always have a pre-party before rehearsal, and then an after party

Barbarella. Epic!

 

I think he is so gorgeous

Does that make me a lesbian?

(Andrej, serbian male model)

"Do you have any idea what the fashion trends in summer 2011 will be? Xoxo "

For me it's gonna be:

- 70s disco everything, just like the last two seasons...flared jeans/ trousers, sparkly rich fabrics night dresses, maxi dresses..I'm definitely going for long dresses right now




(Chanel, Blumarine above)

Can't go wrong with references to Versace..it doesn't matter what year you look..I don't even know when these pictures were taken. It's just Versace:

Fur...






Slinky jewel-toned satin...






Wide-leg satin-like patterned pants, as seen in Miu Miu: (and shorts! yay)

- Drapey fabrics more than structural things. Cardigans better than blazers. Sheer little capes, like last season




- Cape dresses ! It's been going on for a while but they're mass-produced this season...super excited about this (not about the mass-produced part, but it does make them more accesible, I used to wear my mom's ones. I love cape dresses)



- i don't think the 60s are going anywhere for makeup and hair and general ladylike-ness




- patterned jumpsuits...predictable. And here is where my missoni jumpsuit comes in (can't find a picture of it)

- Lots of platforms and lots of low heels. I'm a fan of both

 




- Cropped tops I think will be back soon. I haven't really seen this anywhere, I just think they will

UPDATE: Blumarine did some cropping:




- Pijamas as outerwear, just like last year...I loove wearing silk pijamas out and about, big fan of that







- And finally all the typical summer things...lolita shorts + platform espadrilles, fluffy poetic dresses, blouses, white crotchet dresses






...and for me, ad lib dresses as always, because they're all I ever wanna wear!

Happy New Year!! & "Darling"

Yesterday night to celebrate (hate nye parties) we drank champagne and watched the gooorgeous 60s movie Darling...behold..

Julie Christie....!

The hair, the clothes, the jewlery, the photography..

I Love this dress

Summer Update

I'm away again, I dare not spend the summer anywhere but at the beach in Ibiza, it's just the way it's meant to be. I'm not even gonna pretend I'm going back to London until mid September.

Look of the day:

 
 
I don't wear makeup to the beach but I do wear lip stuff. Here I'm wearing Brownie Pink lipliner by Bobbi Brown and the Dior Lip Glow. Sunglasses are vintage Comptoir Sud Pacifique.

And evening: White Raybans, lapislazuli necklace, pink embroidered silk shirt from one of my favourite shops in town, Ganesha. Metallic bag from The Sandal Shop both in Ibiza town.

 


And mommy's look of the beach day:

 


Spot the boobies.

She's wearing Chanel Nouvelle Vague on fingertips, Eres swimsuit, Celine retro sunglasses and a hat by a company that I can't remember right now but I borrow it as often as I can. They stock them in Campos de Ibiza, Marina Botafoch (Ibiza).

Chanel Rouge Coco Mademoiselle - LOVE!

 
  

About education. SO GOOD

miu miu gets it right

 
 

 
 

Miss Love

I've always thought this girl was absolutely gorgeous and talented. And her personal life is nobody's business. She has some mad makeup skills!!!

 love herrrr


  

 

Slowly but surely I'm turning into my favorite widespread

So this is the page I was loving back in October. I just realised I've ended up with her same exact hat (it's from Lock & co. who knew), her tights and her skirt. And some pretty darn similar shoes that are zebra instead of spotted.

wow

Calligraphy

When forming them, never forget Edward Johnston's admonition that all flourishes should "crack like a whip" -- they should never be tentative or noodle-like. You have to have courage and purpose when flourishing.

Tha's so interesting. I'm hooked. I'm learning Calligraphy

Although most Renaissance Writing Masters prescribe the n body height for all minuscule letterform ascenders and descenders, an examination of renaissance copy books and exemplars shows many different lengths being used with variability in different documents by the same scribe. In general, they should not be too much longer than the letter body height. Of course, majuscule letters are swashed and flourished to the writer's fancy.

this is the only thing I'd do right now

 

So who's his current publicist.
