Illustrated Shoot - Hearts of Gold

It's rather nice when Mother Nature provides us with golden accessories - like these fallen leaves.

December is on the doorstep with the festive season setting in. Obviously we don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here in Hungary, but to all the US bloggers - have a great time celebrating! If I could thank you for anything, it would be your continual support of my little blog.

Thank you, all of you with hearts of gold all over the world, for taking the time to read my words, leave comments, share your views! You make my life so much brighter! :)

Spreading some love always feels nice. :)

Illustrated Shoot - The Day of

These pictures are inspired by John Wyndham's book, The Day of the Triffids.

As you might have guessed, it describes how giant human-eating plants take over the Earth.

It sounds quite like a terribly corny horror, I know. :) But it's much more about human nature than creatures of fantasy. It describes a post-apocalyptic London haunted by armed bands so well, sensible Englishness turned upside down and inside out, that when I went to London and my bus went past places mentioned in the book, the memories of the Triffids welled up really strongly. I'll always see Swiss Cottage surrounded by man-eating plants.

Not a word of fashion was mentioned in this post, but at least you can read what I wore... :)

Illustrated Shoot - Cartoon Coat

My Mum thinks I look like a cartoon in this coat. Well, you don’t have to take her word for it. :)

I was just about to type: „I love this coat”, when I realised how many times I practically sing lovesongs to my clothes on this blog. This is one of the effects of blogging that I’ve never dreamt of – I have a much more personal connection to my clothes. One of the reasons for this might be the fact that many of you know me through the choices I make in terms of clothing, so I’m much more conscious how they’re a part of my personality.

I’ve always loved finding nice clothes and accessories and trying out different outfits in the morning. Most of the time I work from home, but even if I don’t meet a soul the whole day, I always dress up for myself. Some of my friends find it strange that I never wear tracksuit bottoms and torn t-shirts when I’m just at home… I wouldn’t feel myself if I did that. (Besides, I don’t even own any tracksuit bottoms.) (Oh, OK, I have one pair.) (But I don't wear it.) (Enough brackets!)

I feel lucky I can wear clothes that make me happy about myself, I don’t know how I’d feel wearing work appropriate black and white all week long! Instead, I can wear things like this coat, which fits the cartoon-character part of my personality just perfect.

Illustrated Shoot - Autumn Light

Hey, I'm back! It's been a long time away from blogs - but here I am again!
There are a few new things around, one of them is my new pair of glasses...

But I guess the new layout is a bit more prominent. :)

You might ask what I have been up to in this past month or so. Well, among other things, I've been thinking a lot about the place of the blog in my life, and I decided that I'd rather enjoy the time I spend on blogging instead of trying to post more frequently. From now on, I'll post less often, but I hope the posts will be more enjoyable for you as well! I'm planning much more Illustrated Shoots, for example. :)

After all, I still have no wish to become famous and I'm not interested in collecting freebies from sponsors either. I'd just like to be proud of whatever I create, and I hope there will be some readers who enjoy my creations too.

Thank you for bearing with me and returning to read my little blog! See you soon!

Illustrated Shoot: Mist

When there seem to be blind spots at certain parts of the picture.

When you look around and the blur follows you.

It muffles things, but you’re still aware of their existence.

You cannot see clearly, ever.

The question is, do you really want to know what’s hiding from you in the mist?
