To the end of the Earth and back..

 

As promised some more photos from the photoshoot with Petr Suchomel. Wearing one of the oldest items from my closet, my leather Zara jacket. I remember the thrill it was to buy it, had been looking for that perfect leather jacket for ages and then suddenly we came across it by sheer chance, as if it had been fate. Also took my new fave shoes for a walk to the end of the Earth and back, and I'll tell you one thing, these boots weren't made for walking. Nahh, actually I think they'll get more comfy give or take a couple more wears.. but they still need some time. No matter, you have to agree that they're pretty sweet, right? Topshop, what can I say?:) Rest of the outfit consists of DIY shredded tee (best thing about DIY is that the outcome is all up to you. I went for a cute little odd pattern..) and Zara fake leather pants I got from my best friend (thank you sweetie! Love ya!). Oh and just a brief mention of the last picture. How rad is that part animation? I love it to bits! It's almost comic-book-ish/superhero style. Just needs a cape or something!

The day the Sun died.

Am absolutely loving full volume skirts at the moment. Adds so much needed drama to the silhouette, amazing. Also madly shredding almost everything I can get my greedy little hands on. Considering it an act of survival. Great way to releave stress from uni, that's for sure! Stay tuned for more photos from this past weekend's photoshoot. More to come:))

Loving everything Zara..

http://www.zara.com/

The new collection is just precious! Want want want! The pointy shouldered blazer, the sweet yet tough leather jacket, everything furry, the zipper mini-skirt, the ripped jeans, that insanely cute clutch.. And you have to agree, the opening video to the site is really lovely.

Think I'll need a second job://

Girl does bad just right.

The unforseen evils..

Okay, so I kinda knew what I was getting into. I pictured the loads of studying and being always ever so busy before hand, granted. Well actually? I sorta pictured it a bit differently, y'know, sitting at sweet little cafes, sipping a latte and being all cute. I mean, I knew there'd be that big ol' annoying text book and all but it was just all kinda blurred and seemed almost poetic. You get the picture I'm painting here, right? The geek chic meets rocker girl fashions, the "je ne sais quoi" femme fatale attitude, the hot classmates turned into study buddies and thus everything going as smoothly as a hot knife thru butter. Well, dear friends, I was wrong. Dead wrong. My math's no where near as good as I had dimly recalled it being and so far at least, there's really nothing hot about VSCHT. And what's really killing me? The waking up at 6 a.m., now that part hurts. At 6 a.m. I'm not even able to put a decent outfit together so I have to plan ahead the night prior. How sad is that?? Uggh, oh and it's always winter cold that early in the mornings so it's like living in two three seasons at once but without the fun of a winter wonderland, the glamour of the beginning autumn or the fun of indian summer..

Well, actually, you know I'm loving all of it right? :)) I mean, it's still a really rad uni and all and it gives me perspective on a lot of things I wouldn't have otherwise. Just too bad I don't have that much time left for anything else.. That said, better posts to come soon, promise! Wish me luuuuuuuck!

This is from the day I got back from my Tel Aviv holiday (miss that place so much!) and went to a friend's bday party. Wearing Elwood's "We're on a mission from God" tanktop. Those boys have the right idea;)

Matriculation Day

.

My uni matriculation was this morning. Formal dress required. Funny how so many people seemed to be having trouble with that. No, fancy dress does NOT mean in jeans, for goodness sake! I wore a little Zara LBD and black tights and leopard print heels (not too too high yet not that annoying tiny size either, the perfect length actually). Also a tight black cardi (was cold in the morning!) and a black trench. As for jewelry, went with my new Topshop earrings. The ones from the previous post. Sadly do not have a photo from this morning, there just wasn't any time to spare (and I keep thinking it's Friday already!) so just decided to upload this picture instead. It's actually really funny, since it's my promo for Lucky Hazzard and it's hanging in a pub called Ustav* (translation: Asylum) and I had no clue about it but then my brother went to this pub and his friend was like "Hey, isn't that your sister?!".

Hope yall having a good week!

In the ghetto..

What's Hot and What's Not.

When he writes you a message cause he's obviously thinking about you, yet keeps his distance. Never too much!

He wants you and it's sexy.

When he's kinda drunk but never nasty. Or too annoying. (Ugh, what turn offs!)

When he's a good kisser (duh!).

Curly hair. Beautiful curly hair, not Bozo the clown.

Now these are obvious (thou sadly men in Prague seem to sometimes forget): good clothes, clean.

Flowers. I don't trust a girl who doesn't like flowers. Hell, they can be hand picked daisies for all I care, it's the thought that counts.

Letters. Long, handwritten, old-fashioned love letters.

When he presses against you in that crowded club. Pushing you lightly against the wall. There's really no place you'd rather be and it's just you and him. The (rest of the) world fades away and dissapears. Bliss.

The way he smokes his cigarette. Passion.

Good shoes. This is a classic. Get with the program.

The way he looks at you. You're melting. Sigh.

He offers to carry your bag/ your books. Since back at uni (starting Monday!) and actually taking things seriously for a change, have noticed the importance of this almost historical feature of courting. Forget the flowers, just carry all my crap!

Perfect conversation. When you click. He's interested in what you're saying and is rather clever himself. The sex of the words. Hot.

When he's not just another asshole. Can be hard to notice straight away but if you're fooled more than once by the same trick, it may not just be a case of bad luck.

When he doesn't wake you up in the early hours of morning demanding sex, girl needs her beauty sleep. Don't get me wrong, I like morning sex, but I like my coffee first.

When he surprises you. In a good way (not that he's married and has three kids or is just a complete creep or something).

When he looks even better naked than dressed. Now that's a sweet surprise.

When he loves your sense of style. I mean, you know you look good great amazing, but doesn't hurt hearing it again. And again:)

His messages are even better the second time you re-read them. Then you replay the last time you saw him in your head over and over and cannot wait to see him later that night.

The way he smells. Makes your head spin.

When he's rough. Right time, right place kinda thing.

When he claims you cause he's just so smitten. Nothin' wrong with being someone's little girl;)

When he's cute. You think about him and smile. (I'm smiling..)

He's tall. Sorry, but he is. He has to be. End of story.

Okay and the bad? (What HE obviously would NEVER do.)

Kissing you by licking your whole face. Ewwww.

Walks like there's something wrong with him. There probably is.

He's not over is ex. Pl - ease.

Listens to crap music. And makes you listen to it.

He's like a caricature. And you just kinda wish you weren't there.

He's too full of himself. Self love is good but if he looks like he just loves himself, chances are he does..

When he talks about bullshit. And is a bank manager.

Meringue rings.. The tastiest look around.

.

As a child I used to looove eating meringue cookies. I'd just about go crazy when my Mum or Granny would be making them. Now as the years have gone by, I still am very fond of merigue but I think I actually like these rings even better. The idea, which they represent, gives them a sort of sentimental value and besides looking super sweet (literaly), that sharp pointy tip also lends them an edginess I always go for with my jewelry. Follow the link above to get your very own sugary treat sans the calories:)

Inspired by..

(From top to bottom): Morning tea and afternoon coffee. Without which I am a zombie.. Interesting places, where I would love to have a photoshoot one day. These steps on the way across the bridge to Ujezd are one of my favorite places and I think they hold such beauty. So one day soon I hope.. My sweetie Buddy. It's high time I paint him again. And of course the city itself. This is my home after all..

Overload

This picture may look innocent enough but notice all my surroundings! I've no where to put my clothes! Help! Planning huge clean up for the w/e.. and will be putting all too-summery clothes into boxes and storing them for the upcoming winter. An activity I have managed to avoid for the past couple of years but now, cause I just don't fit with all my stuff, seems the best way to get a bit more room. Also no more shopping, obviously. (Like I could anyways, sooo broke:))

Wearing: Mango sunglasses and black sweater, Topshop red dress, belt and earrings.

The more you have, the more you need:)

Typical, isn't it? You'd think after all the shopping I had done lately, the beast would be set to rest for at least a little while. But alas noooo. I want more, I need more! So although my bank account is in a state of shock at the moment and is nervously waiting for pay day, I am still looking for a couple of things to cross off my list e.g. a good book to purchase. I want something to enjoy during this last week before uni starts. Was gonna go with Kathy Reichs's Deja Dead but the store didn't have it (there's basically only one huge book store in Prague where you can get books in English, there's millions where I could prolly get it in Czech but if I have a choice, I prefer to read teh originals..). Also am craving some new jewelry to play around with. Re-watching Bones at the mo so am very inspired by Tempe's style, her earrings in particular. Also need some thick tights for autumn and some hair pins. Anyways, almost late for a coffee date, so gotta run!

What to wear to the first day of school?

It's a bit tricky right, going to an unknown place. You don't really know what to expect.. You don't wanna look too out of place yet still keep your own sense of style and self. I went for a tailored edgy look. Sofisticated but fun.. E.g. my new Zara fake fur vest, because, y'know, I LOVE it. Zara dark blue ripped skinny jeans, studded black leather converse shoes, a long sleeved black Zara tee and brand new Mango red sunglasses. And a huge black tote to carry all my crap.

Anyways, I had to get my pictures done for my new index and the horrible machine started speacking in German and made me choose a frame, even thou I didn't want a frame?! I picked the least ugly frame (ohh trust me, there were some uuugggly frames to pick from!) and so now I have the least serious picture in the university's files and in my index. Yeay for me right! ALso now have the worst schedule ever so I guess it all goes hand in hand..

On a happier note, here are some more pictures from Sunday's photoshoot. The first is by Ben Hodson and the latter is another by Florin Draghici. I think they both turned out quite nice if I do say so myself;))

Crossed off from the list:))

OK, remember my wish list from beginning of last week? Well, today I decided to treat myself to some Zara fun. And the item, which had been on the top of my Lusting-after, is now in my possession! The fake-fur vest! Yeay! Also bought two hats (I absolutely hate hats - mainly because I have always had bad luck with hats, never finding one that actually looks good - until today! My luck has changed:)),one grey and the other black, two huuuge shawls (red and light grey) and a warm coat.. So, Mr. Winter? I'm ready for you! Well, come to think of it, still need some mittens..

The first three pictures are from Saturday night, when I was on the way home from Ujezd. This trip home is what motivated me to go shopping, it was so bloody cold! You wouldn't believe.. Anyways, pictures are of The Prague castle and the National Theatre. You can also see a bit of the CHarles bridge.. Even thou it's cold, Prague is still rather lovely, isn't it?

A farewell to summer..

It's that time of year again. Summer's gone, school is about to start again (in one week!) and the weather is on the verge of being a pain in the ass. On the verge cause I still like fall. The slightly windy, leaves a falling, beautiful colors everywhere kind. Not the two months of rain before three of snow type. Anyways, I took part of a practice photoshoot yesterday and here is a selection of some of the photos. All pictures are by Tomasz Slota except for the last one, which is by Florin Draghici. I was going for a green look, to give a little contrast to the almost autumnish background. I'll tell you one thing thou, it was cold out there! Brr, planning on moving to Tel Aviv for the winter:))

What I wore when..

For work conference and then later still for small goodbye gathering for my bf. She's going on another holiday, so jealous!:)

Pull&Bear long cardigan, Zara studded belt, Guess bag, Topshop "leather" mini-skirt (which I would totally love but for the fact that it goes up ALL THE TIME, thus turning into a belt and making me thank the heavens that I wore that long cardigan..), Promod black tank top, H&M tights and Tamaris buisness flats. Oh and those pink sunglasses are also H&M and earrings are Stradivarius..

Lusting after Vol.7

Lusting after for A/W 09: fake fur vest or evening coat. I have a leopardprint fake fur petite coat but it's short furred and I want to go out full throttle this season. And for it to be really warm as well. Pictured about is the Tory Burch A/W 09. Another big item on my list is a crazy coloured coat. Bright pink baby. I'm not liking the shape of the one pictured above (Tommy Hilfiger) but the colour is amazing! I'm also on the look-out for a solf elegant brown leather jacket. The Isaac Mizrahi one would actually be perfect. And loving that lipstick as well! And those of you, who have been on this site before (or on my facebook notes), will not find it as a shock that, yup, still searching for those perfect boots. Totally a repeat phenomenon every winter yet in no way simpler. Huh, will just have to put in another trip to Zara:))

Another one about my holiday

But possibly the last so yall can be at ease! Anyways, so my vacationing fashion was all about swim suits, white tops and short comfy mini-skirts, capri pants and shorts. I had two LBDs with me and could have so used some more evening attire but sadly the airlines are quite strict with their weight limits and all, I'm always paranoid and end up packing too little. (Cause I pack too much and then re-pack a number of times...) Anyways this time around I packed quite right, could have used a dress and a top more but all in all, I was rather satisfied. Oh my big beautiful sun hat got totally ruined. It no longer holds shape and it's so dirty! I'll still try to fix it up a bit but am almost convinced it's a cause of DNR. Anyways I have a ton of pictures (if you have me on facebook, you know:)) and this is just a tiny selection.

From top to bottom: black Zara dress, Calzedonia swim suit, Zara white tank top with Guess shorts, white H&M shirt with Vero moda bag and Pull&Bear skirt and last is Zara black shirt (my favorite!) with Zara sun hat and Teranova capris, Bata sandals and the Vero moda tote.

With the holidays over..

I'm sure glad I still have fun at work:))

.. HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Totally loving this idea!!
