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)

..

they all came in black

 dress - self  made

cardigan - zara

heels - newyorker

belt - vintage

it was my birthday three days ago

this is what i wore

(minus cardigan)

..

there were 20 peeps at the party

18 wore black

two wore dark green

it was hilarious 

we called it funeral themed party

no-one picked the theme

but everyone followed by accident 

..

as a party lady

i had to stand out a bit

with lace collar 

and penny-farthing print on my dress

but.. it's still one black dress

..

funeral theme proved to be the great one

we had a blast

and mine red velvet cupcakes were a success 

..

in case you wonder

bonus photo is my new tattoo

new year gift from nikola

it's alice from wonderland

only.. dark alice 

..

hawaiian winter

dress - self made

heels - newyorker

this is the dress i made 

for new year's eve 

hawaiian theme party

..

i loved the idea of contrast 

of colorful cocktails

  flowers in my hair and

summer dresses

while outside it's snowing heavily

and temperature is waaaay below freezing

..

i loved the idea

but lots of other peeps hated it i guess

they showed up wearing black

no flowers and no cocktails on their mind

they refused to dance

and sort of 'killed it' for me

so i slept the party over

..

sin

sweater - zara

shirt - dunno, have it for ages

skirt - flea market, vintage

heels - peacocks 

belt - peacocks

beret - handmade by my aunt

i'm finally back home

having a never ending laundry day

..

found this skirt in my closet

bought it last summer

and never wore it before

why?

'cause i wanted to wear it with something i made

and not a single handmade garment i own goes well with it

..

today i realized

that world probably won't come to an end

if i wear it with something i bought

10 days later

skirt - vintage, gift from aunt

top - self made

cardigan - newyorker

heels - newyorker

these pics were meant to be posted

before new years

..

but i had couple of parties to attend

and then headed to the mountains

to spend holidays with my family

and then with nikola's family

a bit more south

and i forgot all about it

(easy to do when you have no internet access)

..

so.. 10 days later

here i am

still up in the mountains

with my belly stuffed with christmas food

using my friends computer

while he is tattooing some pagan gods

on some other friend's back

..

it's snowing for days

i'm about to go sledding

..

hope you all had terrific holidays

happy new year

and marry christmas to all 'local' readers

(christmas in serbia was yesterday)
