Blushing Turquoise

Do you ever feel like you cannot posibly spend more than the absolute necessary time staring at your computer screen? I'm currently in this very sad state (sad from the point of view of blogging that is).





















Browsing and clicking and editing, processing lots of visual information that lies flat before my eyes seems like a huge task at the moment!





















Instead I spend my freetime creating jewellery which I can't wait to share more about! Soon I will have some specimens to photograph! I'm rather excited about how they look, I'll definitely ask your opinion on them!






































Till then, here's an outift with some of my favourite colours... I grew to like pink after years and years of scorn. It's so liberating when you can let go of your associations ("only Barbie and whiney girls wear pink") and enjoy something for what it is! (Pink is the colour of flowers, stones and  blushing skin...)

Wearing: Promod dress, a scarf from H&M and another is my Sister's, Humanic shoes, 

New Yorker sunnies and a Raku ceramics ring my Mum made.

Haunted by the Seventies

I can't live without good 60s and 70s music - singable, danceable, upbeat... I love hearing actual instruments and rarely enjoy computer-generated sounds. I could go on and on about films as well... Watch Almost Famous if you want to fall in love with the decade completely!

Oh, 70s style! I have some original Burda magazines from the 70s and I cannot get over their brilliance. Burda is German pattern-magazine, and at that time it included about 5 times as many patterns as it does now - even nightclothes were a regular feature - providing an everyday angle to the day's fashion. I mean, imagine, you could even sew yourself flared pyjama bottoms! :)

The sunglasses I'm wearing are an original 70s pair that I got a few years ago at an antiques market. The proof that the shape is pure genious is the appearance of similar sunglasses in recent collections. Oh well, I got mine for about 10 Dollars. :)

So many people told me before I should have born earlier to be young in the 60s and 70s... I'm trying to style myself back sometimes, until somebody invents time-travel!

Wearing: Sunglasses: second hand, from an antiques market, Dress: New Yorker, 

Sandals: Tamaris, Necklaces: don't remember, but could be Jeans Club and Brigitte Bijou...

Everyone is So Much Cooler in Sunglasses

 The sun is so warm, I can't believe it! Finally spring is here!

Looks like that's all you need for your pictures not to be grainy! :)

These trousers make me feel a bit like Marilyn Monroe. Just a bit. :) They have a definite 50s vibe for me, and the classic-shaped sunnies too. The blouse with the ribbon closure also reminds me of decades ago.

I put my hair up using flower pins. 

I could say it was all intentional but in fact I couldn't find my hairclip. :)

 

The stuff I wear: 

Zara trousers, Thrifted blouse, 

Humanic shoes ( yeah, again, I know, I can't not wear them :) 

Sunnies: New Yorker, Earrings: some small boutique, Flowers: H&M.
