these days you're not really a style or fashion blogger

unless you publish your very own

messy bun tutorial

..

so.. here is mine

after several bad attempts i've found the perfect way by accident

..

you start with regular non-messy type of bun

(see pictures above)

and then go for a jogging 

(2 km at least.. or if you want your bun really messy,  make that 3 km run

note - do not overrun, or your bun is going to desintegrate completely)

superpowers

dress - self made

wedges - peacocks 

bow clip - self made

 yesterday i had superpowers 

..

for days before yesterday

i was dealing with some paperwork

taxes, health insurance, bank thingies 

and i was dealing with all that with no success

and lots of stress

..

but, yesterday i had superpowers

finished all those things 

with some sort of effortless magic 

also managed to get couple of unplanned jobs done

..

i walked in between tasks instead of taking a bus

so i did my 5 km walk 

superpowers i tell you

..

two tall handsome guys smiled at me

i believed even more into my superpowers

(turned out they wanted to convert me 

to some strange religion..

i told them i'm part deity

and run away)

..

then i decided i walked enough

i ran to catch a bus

and i managed to catch it

(i always miserably fail doing that.. well, always but yesterday)

..

back home, i made some pretzel dogs

for a party at our mountaineer club

got to the party on time (usually i'm late)

and even managed not to get wasted

(that's the biggest miracle of all)

..

i also wanted to sew this dress yesterday

but instead i shared some of my superpowers with nikola
and made the dress today

smoother than silk

kimono robe - self made

lace trimmed slip (underneath) - self made

i don't believe in cozy sweaters and sweatpants

i don't own such thingies in my closet

even if i won't leave the house all day

i wear a dress.. or a skirt and a blouse

cardigan if it's cold

and heels almost all the time

(my neighbors from downstairs might kill me one day

if i don't switch to some more 'silent' shoes)

..

well

that was my life before yesterday

but then i made this kimono robe

from smoothest silk satin 

and i never ever want to take it off

i might stay in my flat forever wearing this

..

gone with the snow

blazer - zara, birthday gift 

shirt - mom's, from her high school days

skirt - flea market vintage

beret - handmade by my aunt

climbing boots - alpina 

these boots are made for walking up and down the mountain

snowy icy mountain

with crampons attached to them

..

i don't wear them with skirt and blazer

'cause i think that's oh-so-cool

but 'cause it's a necessity 

we are having ice age over here

there are insane amounts of snow

and freezing temperatures for month and a half 

trains stuck in the snow for days

avalanches burying villages

..

so

in case you wondered

yes, i wore a coat over that outfit

..

one more thing

i made that pussy bow

that's the only finished part of one pussy-bow blouse 

one that i started making a month ago

one that i'm having a big issue with

one that may never be finished

and i dunno why

..

do you know why?

..

miroir?

blazer - self made

dress - self  made

hat - peacocks, men's department

oxfords - flea market, vintage

i went out the other day

(before ice age days)

to run some errands 

wearing green dress

leopard print tights 

red leather jacket

orange shoes 

and probably blue cardigan

(or maybe grey one with brown tiny dots)

..

i took a bus

and guy sitting across from me

started crying

and i'm not shitting you

he really really started crying and sobbing 

(when i say guy, i don't mean kid

but guy in his early twenties)

..

now

maybe he just had a really bad day

but  maybe i need to buy myself a full size mirror

..

old portraits

ever since i was a kid

and got my first camera

(chunky zenit i still have and use)

i was sort of obsessed with photography

..

back then i knew nothing about photography

that didn't stop me from dragging my zenit with me

all the time

shooting everything and everyone

..

nowadays i still don't know much about photography

but still drag my nikon with me

all the time

taking thousands of pics

and then loosing them all

in ever-repeating computer crashes 

(i'm still too lazy to back up..

that is one of the reasons why zenit was superior

i still own all the pics that i took with zenit

those won't vanish all of a sudden)

..

today i manage to recover these two pics

that used to be my favorites

some years ago

first one is self-portrait 

other is underwater portrait of nikola

(that photo shoot almost killed him

i'm still amazed he didn't dump me

when he finally got out of the tub)
