maroccan fringe






coat - self made
cardigan - no name
bag - no name
boots - air step
belt - peacocks
beret - handmade by my aunt

this is my favorite dress ever
i have it for 10 years
never got tired of wearing it
..
i love this pale pink color
with a bit of shine from golden threads woven in
i love the fringe neckline 
..
it was my mom's dress
she got it as a gift
from her maroccan ex boyfriend
(one that she left for my father)
..
back then it was a long sleeved maxi dress 
break-up turned it into short sleeved knee length one

autumnal obsessions






skirt - self made
blouse - flea market, altered to fit
heels - newyorker
beret - handmade by my aunt

if you follow my blog for a while
you may have noticed i easily get obsessed with things
i all of a sudden develop some strange fling
and become really obsessed
(i'm seriously thinking of turning that into weekly posts
like some bloggers have '10 things i like' or
'tuesday remixes' or 'makeup wednesdays'
i should have 'monday night obsessions')
..
anyways..
some flings are good ones
like healthy eating and jogging
replaced with weeks lived only on pizza and vodka grapefruit
or my excavation time obsession with beer annihilation 
..
everyday swimming for a month
then everyday sewing for weeks
then days of homemade pies
days of ice skating grand prix
days of top gear tv shows
(and i don't own a car.. i don't even know how to drive)
and days of nothing but llosa books 
..
late autumn and winter time
is always about movies
first it was spaghetti westerns
then old musicals 
and when i say obsessed i mean obsessed
i mean find and watch
every damn spaghetti western movie
and over 50 musicals
..
my newest fling -
woody allen
i always loved woody
but right now
 i am so frigging obsessed with him
that i'm a proud owner of every film he ever wrote or directed
..
i even hooked nikola on woody madness 
it's become a daily routine
every single night
we make our living room a tiny cinema
and then quietly disappear in woodyland

the blazer story






wool dress - thrifted, refashioned 
blazer - mom's, from late 70's
heels - newyorker 

more then thirty years ago
my mother left her hometown in dalmatia
and came to belgrade to study defectology
..
at her freshman year
she found a part time job
and from her first salary
she bought this blazer
..
she remember that day surprisingly well
she knows what the weather was like
(a bit rainy like today)
how she felt
(excited, with teary eyes)
where she bought it
(now there is a cafe at this spot)
she even remember a lady working in the store
(one that had blue eyes and wore lilac blouse)
..
thank you mom
for sharing your blazer story with me
and thank you for letting me have your precious blazer
i promise to love and cherish it
for thirty years to come

patiently impatient








coat - self made
dress - no name
lace trimmed slip - self made
heels - newyorker

i'm patient enough 
to spend hours solving sudokus
or digging up skeletons with a tiny brush
or sitting by the water with fishing rod
or going up and down the mountain 
..
patient enough to spend 7 full hours
making a coat
(plus a solid hour cutting out 54 tulle petals for rose brooch)
and then leave it button-less for days
cause i'm not that patient
when it comes to hand sewing buttons
or ironing hems
..
patient enough to kindly smile
when i got asked
why the hell do i wear a lettuce head
stuck on my coat
..

golden buttons






jacket - self made
dress - self made
heels - peacocks

i accidentally inspired oona 
..
her shiny dress inspired me
to finish this jacket that was abandoned in september
..
i originally planned to use blue buttons
but.. damn.. there is not enough sparkle in blue

roasted devotion






dress - self made
lace trimmed slip - self made
beret - handmade by my aunt 
boots - air step

i am not a big fan of autumn
after color burst is gone
it's all cold and dark and sad
makes me wanna be a bear
and sleep until it's done
..
roasted chestnuts makes me
change my mind about that
every single year
..
holding that hot paper cone stuffed with roasted chestnuts
with hands red and frozen from the wind
and eyes a bit watery from excitement
is a sacred moment for me
..

bugs day






it's so fogy outside
i can't even see my neighbor's house
(which is kind of cool
cause it's an ugly house)
..
and.. i do love foggy days
and foggy landscapes
looking all misty and romantic
i would even love to have a foggy outfit post
but it ain't gonna happen
not today
nope
..
today is for bright colors
for bugs
and dentist visits

on fairies and westerns







gown - self made

this beautiful fairy
is my friend ana
she might seem familiar to you
'cause she is a younger version of my friend nina
and you've seen nina on my blog before
wearing some of my creations
..
this beautiful gown
is my medieval mumbo jumbo costume
and i'm not planning of being a princess any time soon
..
but
ana is an actress 
and she does plays for kids
she is a pirate and a fairy
and a proud owner of this gown 
and new pair of wings 
..
she is not a cowboy
not yet at least
nope
rest of the post title
has nothing to do with ana nor gowns 
..
it's about my newest obsession
..
i somehow developed a huuuuge crush
on clint eastwood and spaghetti westerns
(not this 81 years old clint
but the one from the 60's and early 70's)
..
in my favorite movie so far
in first 3 minutes of the movie
clint manages to get shaved, kill 3 guys, 
smoke a cigarette and rape a girl
..
and with uninviting cold and foggy weather
and me being home alone
obsession is running wild
i'm seriously close to opening booze bottles with my teeth
and sleeping in my boots
..
