maroccan fringe

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

bag - no name

i accidentally inspired oona 

to make this beautiful shiny dress

..

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
