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.

Turquoise Thanks

Oh, girls, it’s one of those days. I'm sure it happened to you before that you weren't happy about your pictures. I still edited some anyway after work then got up and went out to buy an inordinate amount of fruit. I ate a whole melon, then I sat down again, and... I was still unhappy with the pictures. Even after devouring a melon! What an outrageous day!

So I looked at some of your blogs, then dicarded the edited pictures and chose some totally different ones.

It’s inevitable, sometimes I’m just unsure of my choices. But then I look around at your blogs and gather courage to share. What’s more, now I can’t wait to share my pictures with you. Especially the scarf tied as a turban thing, as I loved wearing it today!

Since I started taking my own pictures and share them with you all, my attitude towards my style changed immesurably. I walk around the city with head held much higher. I feel like an ambassador of a worldwide community of people who support each other not only in their choices of clothes, but in many small ways we don’t even realise. Thank you for your encouragement, your flow of lovely comments and continual support – even when my pictures weren’t very brilliant. Exactly three months ago today I started my blog and with it, started a conversation with all of you. It feels like I got to know you a little, I hope you feel the same way too!

The stuff I wore: Blouse and Skirt: Second Hand, Sandals: Tamaris, 

Scarf and Belt: H&M, Earrings: Self made

The best comes at the end - I just checked and my Bazaar Times and Handmade Products blogpost that I submitted to IFB is included in this week's Links a la Mode! I'm over the moon! Time for another melon? :)

Easter Fish

We had a great Easter meal in of the oldest and most prestigious restaurants in Budapest, the Gundel. Now let me tell you all, that I'm not very likely ever to post pictures of my food. I've never had an urge to photograph what I eat, so well, you have to guess - my necklace could be a hint. :)

This dress is perfect for meals out, as you can eat your stomach as round as you want, the dress doesn't let it show. The drapey top is the sister of the purple one I wore previously here.

Time for another serious confession.
The kid (in the corner of the picture below) is not my son.

 Dress: Promod, Top: Chinese shop, Cardigan: Promod, Tights: Calzedonia (actually borrowed from my Mum, thanks!), Shoes: Vagabond, Bag: Deichmann, Belt: Reserved, Necklace: handmade in the Czech Republic, Thread bracelet: made by my lovely little cousin for Easter, Bangle: my Sister's, and she doesn't know I took it... Thanks! :)

I'm Grainy but Otherwise I'm OK

These photos came out really-really grainy, I was thinking about not posting them at all... 

What do you do when things like this happen? When you don't like your pictures for some reason?

Starting this blog also made me really aware of what strange faces I make when being photographed. Most of the time I look like I've just seen an alien or something. :) 

Do you have any tips on how to show your best face to the camera? Do you have anything you think about when you're photographed that makes you at ease? Or is it just practice practice and practice?

Today's outfit details: Jacket and culottes: Zara, Cardigan: Promod. I love how assymetric it is and that it has a pin as closure. I'm sure it will feature in not-so-grainy pictures for the details to be properly seen...
Belt: H&M, Flowers: Jojó, Ring: found :) I was actually told today that it's possibly Russian. I wonder who it belonged to!
